Six-Tails Naruto

"Nagato, what on earth have you been doing?" Konan, who had been waiting patiently inside the Paper Tree, asked the moment Nagato finally returned. She then noticed the changes in his physique and immediately followed up with, "What happened to your body?"

"I absorbed some Nine Tails Chakra." Nagato explained dismissively, handing the paper bag in his hand to Konan. "You know what's inside; take out the summoning scroll for Katsuyu first. Sign the contract with her right now."

The paper bag had been created by Konan's paper clone. Once the clone dissipated, Konan's main body received its memories. After taking the bag, she didn't rush to check the contents, instead looking at Nagato with suspicion: "You seem... different."

The two had lived and faced death together for decades; it was impossible for any subtle change in Nagato to escape her notice. Nagato had been mentally prepared for this.

"Is that so?" Nagato shook his head, noncommittal. "It's probably because I've figured a few things out. I'll explain it to you later."

It was different from what most people imagined.

Within the core circle of the Akatsuki, among the trio of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, the smartest was actually the quiet and reserved Konan, while the "boss" Yahiko was the most dim-witted, and the Nagato of the past had been the one with the least initiative.

Therefore, all of the Akatsuki's previous plans were proposed by Yahiko, supplemented by Konan, and then unconditionally supported by Nagato. Unless they were in the heat of battle, both Yahiko and Nagato would defer to Konan's judgment.

It was just that Konan was a woman of a cold nature; she didn't like to talk and never took the initiative to show off.

After Yahiko died, the Akatsuki no longer had a leader capable of proposing agendas, and Konan no longer had plans that required her refinement. Nagato chose to trust Obito Uchiha, while Konan keenly sensed that Obito Uchiha was untrustworthy. Their judgments were diametrically opposed, leaving Konan with no choice but to adopt an attitude of non-interference and unconditional support for Nagato.

Her performance, however, led Obito Uchiha to believe she was just a naive little girl who knew nothing, a mistake that eventually cost him dearly—he was nearly blown to pieces by her.

Obito didn't stop to think: how could someone like Konan, who had lived through the era of war since childhood and clawed her way through the battlefield to survive until now, be anything other than a ruthless character?

So, the current Nagato had no intention of hiding his plans from Konan; he truly didn't have the time to explain everything. "I'll tell you later. Right now, I need to focus my attention on the Paths of Pain. We are leaving Konoha soon."

Hearing this, Konan nodded, withdrew her gaze, and opened the paper bag.

The contents were substantial, including various scrolls, Sharingan, Byakugan, the First Hokage's Necklace, and other high-value items. Any single one of these, if tossed out, would cause the major nations of the ninja world to fight tooth and nail.

Meanwhile, inside Konoha, the suppression of Naruto by the Paths of Pain had reached its limit. The weight of the three large summoning beasts—the Rhino, the Bull, and the Cerberus—was like a toy to Naruto, who had entered his Six-Tails state, and they were completely ineffective.

The ninjas of Konoha were still watching from the sidelines, exchanging intelligence gathered via Byakugan. They felt that since the Paths of Pain seemed to be fighting the Tailed Beast-transformed Naruto, it was better not to go up and throw their lives away.

The Konoha ninjas, waiting patiently for the outcome, had no idea that disaster was about to strike them.

The despicable transmigrator was about to reach out his dark hand toward them.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two massive explosions, the Rhino and the Bull were each slapped by Naruto, turning into two puffs of white smoke and vanishing from the spot.

The Human Path felt his hands burning; the Nine Tails Chakra's powerful corrosive ability made Naruto's surface look like it was burning with fire, and the surging chakra bubbled and boiled like magma. Suddenly, the Human Path's eyes narrowed, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. At some point, his chest had been pierced by Naruto using the Nine Tails Chakra!

The power of the Nine Tails was simply incomparable to a normal Tailed Beast. In its three-tailed form, it could kill the elite jonin-level Kabuto with a single roar of chakra. In its four-tailed form, the corrosive power of its body forced Orochimaru, who had attacked Naruto with his Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, to use the Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique to save his life. And now, Naruto's transformation had reached the six-tailed state; theoretically, it was no longer something an ordinary Kage-level ninja could contend with.

"I can't hold him back." Nagato immediately understood this fact.

The power of the Paths of Pain was, after all, inferior to his true body's power. Having taken the First Hokage's Necklace from Naruto's neck, the six-tailed Naruto was no longer something the Paths of Pain could suppress.

"Scatter!"

The Deva Path, Naraka Path, Asura Path, and Animal Path leaped onto the back of the Yatagarasu.

Looking at Hinata and Shima, who had lost their ability to move not far from Naruto, Nagato decided not to gamble on whether Hinata would be as lucky as she was in the original story, staying beside the rampaging Naruto without a scratch.

As for Shima, if she died, she died; there wasn't a single good thing about those stinking toads.

Just then, the Preta Path, the only one still suppressing Naruto, was slapped into pieces by the six-tailed Naruto with a single blow.

"Banshō Ten'in!"

The unconscious Hinata, lying on the ground, was pulled up onto the Yatagarasu by the Deva Path.

This act of stealing someone's wife right in front of her husband caught the attention of the person involved, Naruto.

"ROOOOAAAAARRRR."

Having long since lost his sanity, Naruto noticed the Paths of Pain on the back of the Yatagarasu in the sky. It seemed he recalled some of his hatred for them.

Thus, almost immediately, the six-tailed little fox transformed and chased after the Yatagarasu carrying the Paths of Pain.

Running on all fours, Naruto's speed was now like a demon. As he ran, his red-and-black body elongated, and two long chakra "arms" eerily extended from his slender back, swinging violently toward the Yatagarasu in the sky.

"BOOM! BOOM!!"

Using shared vision to see Naruto's intent, the Yatagarasu banked in the air, dodging between Naruto's "arms." Naruto's arms slammed heavily into the ground, triggering two massive explosions.

The entire Konoha trembled under this blow, as if an earthquake had struck, and everyone gasped in shock.

It might be hard for others to believe, but the Deva Path was nearly breaking out in a cold sweat at that moment.

The four Paths of Pain on the back of the Yatagarasu, Hinata, and Tsunade in the Yatagarasu's beak had nearly been wiped out in one strike by Naruto.

This strength was truly not something an ordinary Tailed Beast could compare to.

Seeing Naruto's such ferocious performance, Nagato, not wanting to use Chibaku Tensei, felt his mouth twitch. He simply controlled the Deva Path to leap off the Yatagarasu and used Banshō Ten'in to hurl a massive boulder at Naruto's head, drawing his attention away.

Boom! The ten-meter-tall boulder was blasted into dust by a casual Tailed Beast Bomb from Naruto.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

By the time the unharmed Naruto shook his head and started chasing the Deva Path again, Nagato used the Summoning Jutsu to summon the Animal Path.

Then, the Animal Path walked out of the Paper Tree, while the Asura Path stuffed Hinata into the Yatagarasu's beak. At the same time, the Animal Path arrived at the open space outside the Paper Tree and performed hand seals. The Naraka Path, Asura Path, Cerberus, Yatagarasu, as well as Tsunade and Hinata in the Yatagarasu's beak, were all summoned out by the Animal Path.

In this way, only the Deva Path remained in Konoha to play with Naruto.

Nagato concentrated his chakra on the Deva Path. The three Paths of Pain carried Hinata and Tsunade into the Paper Tree and stood there motionless, while the Cerberus and Yatagarasu guarded the outside of the Paper Tree, keeping watch for any Konoha ninjas who might sneak over.

Once the Deva Path finished its task, Nagato could leave this place. Moreover, he could now have the Naraka Path resurrect the Human Path and the Preta Path.

Nagato felt his operations were as steady as an old dog; perhaps it was time to let the Deva Path compare its art style with Naruto's?
