Naruto VS Six Paths of Pain

"Are they not back yet?"

Beneath the Rain Village.

Konan felt that, given the styles of Deidara and Sasori, they would definitely have made quick work of things.

The One-Tail could not possibly withstand Deidara's relentless bombardment.

Why was there still no word after so long?

"The Sand Village has no ninjas left to fight. Over these years, the major Ninja Villages have been recuperating, spending money to have us execute missions just to preserve their own strength."

"Compared to the Five Great Ninja Villages during the Third Great Ninja War, they are now more like a bunch of paper puppets."

"Our era, the era that will end war and suffering forever, is about to arrive."

Nagato's entire body was pierced with black rods that siphoned his chakra.

The Six Paths of Pain were currently stationed throughout the village, their eyes overlooking the entire Rain Village like surveillance cameras.

No one could escape Nagato's field of vision.

The Deva Path stood at the highest point.

Whether they were Rain Village ninjas or civilians, all were under his protection.

The homeless, the rogue ninjas expelled from their villages.

No matter who you were.

Once you came to the Rain Village, you could hide beneath the darkness as one seeking shelter from the rain.

"Nagato."

"I have a feeling there is danger."

Konan's sixth sense kept her constantly vigilant.

"Once the One-Tail is taken, the Sand Village will have no powerful combat force left to declare war."

"Hidan and Kakuzu have already returned, and Itachi and Kisame are on their way back as well."

"Furthermore, with me here, anyone who dares to obstruct our plans must die!"

Nagato began to cough before he could finish his sentence.

His body was deteriorating by the day; could he really hold on until that day arrived?

"What has that guy been doing lately?"

Konan thought of the Masked Man.

"He and Zetsu might return at any moment."

Before Nagato's voice had even faded.

A figure wrapped in plant matter emerged from the ground.

"Something has happened!"

Zetsu said coldly, "Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara have defected!"

"Naruto Uzumaki appeared at the Sand Village, defeated them, and used some unknown method to make them surrender."

"Right now, Deidara is leading the way, bringing Naruto Uzumaki to the Rain Village."

"If you want to finish them off once and for all, you must take action yourself!"

Zetsu's words made Nagato's already fragile constitution even worse.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

Nagato looked at Konan.

"Jiraiya's student, the current Hokage!"

Konan also understood what Nagato meant.

"It seems a battle between disciples is inevitable. I wonder if this junior brother trained by Master Jiraiya will surpass us?"

Nagato coughed as he prepared to step out from the darkness.

A rare ripple appeared in his Rinnegan.

"What is it, Nagato?"

It had been a long time since Konan had seen Nagato feel such a sense of crisis.

"He is here!"

Nagato had never expected Naruto to be this fast.

He had invaded the Rain Village single-handedly!

"I'm here!"

Naruto stood, emerging from the water.

"System, have the Punishment Points for my mission arrived yet?"

"Draw three times, directly!"

[The Host has completely blackened. Sasori and Deidara were not saved; instead, they have fully blackened. Achievement unlocked: Blackened Naruto.]

[Penalty received: 3,000 Punishment Points.]

[This triple draw has concluded.]

[Six Paths Tool: Amber Purifying Pot]

[Six Paths Tool: Bashosen]

[Kekkei Tota: Dust Release]

"I suppose you have a shred of conscience this time, not hindering the first step of my unification of the Ninja World."

Naruto carried the Bashosen and the Amber Purifying Pot on his back.

Despite being in a standoff with the Six Paths of Pain, he had managed to find the leisure to master Dust Release.

"I didn't expect that even using the Body Flicker Technique after infiltrating the Rain Village, I would still be discovered."

Naruto threw a Flying Raijin Kunai from his hand.

"It seems I'm still not fast enough."

To conquer the entire Ninja World, the power of the Akatsuki was essential!

Only by conquering the entire Ninja World would there be enough chakra for Naruto to open the Gate of Life and Death.

"Have you ever felt pain?"

Pain Deva Path stood at the center of the Six Paths of Pain.

He adopted a condescending attitude the moment he saw Naruto.

"We are an absolutely invincible existence, and you will inevitably die in the deep waters of the Rain Village."

The Six Paths of Pain spoke in unison.

It was as if several giant loudspeakers were blasting Naruto from three hundred and sixty degrees.

"Wait!"

Something was wrong.

Naruto raised a hand to halt the prelude to the battle.

This was supposed to be Jiraiya's plot, wasn't it!

[Ding!]

[Tale of the Gallant event triggered. Host, please rescue Jiraiya from the Rain Village as soon as possible.]

[World line anomaly! The Host is besieged by the Six Paths of Pain in the Rain Village. Please escape as soon as possible and cause Nagato and Konan to repent.]

[Reward for this mission: 200 Goodwill Points.]

[Mission failure will result in 2,000 Punishment Points.]

"What?"

Naruto stomped on the water surface, causing the current to erupt.

"Fighting the Six Paths of Pain actually yields fewer Punishment Points than beating up Deidara and Sasori?"

"Fine, 'repent,' is it? I get it!"

With Sage Mode Double as the foundation and Kurama Mode as the exterior.

Naruto was currently fuming at the trashy rewards from the Turn Back to the Shore System.

The Animal Path summoned large summoning creatures within this vast space.

Naruto also used the Summoning Technique.

In the next second, he summoned Toad Gamabunta, Ten-Tailed Snake, Katsuyu, and the Rabbit Family.

"I'm in a bad mood today, so please, everyone, finish off these controlled summoning creatures as quickly as possible."

Naruto flashed past the Animal Path.

"No problem!"

Ten-Tailed Snake was eager to see more of a powerhouse like Naruto.

After returning to Ryuchi Cave last time, he had received the Snake Sage's approval, who even prophesied that Naruto would surely learn the Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique.

Just as Ten-Tailed Snake was about to bite down, the Rabbit Family entered berserk mode, their sizes ballooning hundreds of times over as they pinned the Three-Headed Dog down for a brutal beating.

Naruto turned around, and a massive hand reached for his neck.

It was the Asura Path, possessing immense Chakra Enhanced Strength!

If that throat-locking attack landed, his neck would snap on the spot!

The Asura Path himself was entirely composed of mechanical modifications, and any one of his joints could potentially transform into a weapon.

"You dare to choke me?"

Naruto stood still, allowing the Asura Path to grip his throat.

As it turned out, no matter how much it pummeled him, it couldn't even break through his Kurama Mode Chakra Cloak.

Naruto's current physique possessed the added defense of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Refined to the extreme, he could grapple with Tailed Beasts using his bare body, let alone the Asura Path!

"Chakra Enhanced Strength!"

Seeing that the Asura Path's attacks were ineffective, Naruto tore its arm right off.

He spun around and delivered a flying kick, sending hundreds of mechanical parts flying from its abdomen.

"If Sasori didn't modify you, then you would be a true all-rounder."

Naruto used his Painful Sky Leg to stomp the Asura Path into the ground, reducing it to a pile of scrap metal.

"Don't be impatient, now is when you truly die!"

The Human Path stood behind him, while the Preta Path stood in front.

They each attempted to seize Naruto's soul and chakra.

They even tried to seal Naruto's ninjutsu to render his attacks ineffective.

The Naraka Path took the opportunity to use the "King of Hell Reincarnation," attempting to resurrect the Asura Path once more.

"Do you really think the souls and chakra of different people can be judged by the same standard?"

Naruto utilized the combined speed of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Sage Mode Double, and Kurama Mode to boost his explosive power.

"You are already dead."

The Deva Path raised its hand, prepared to finish Naruto off.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A repulsive force surged, intending to send Naruto flying.

But just as Naruto had said.

The strength of individuals is entirely different!

Naruto planted his feet, shattering the rock into a deep crater, and remained as immovable as a mountain amidst the siege of the Six Paths of Pain!

The Nine-Tails lashed out like a sweeping ribbon, clearing the entire field.

"Is this all it takes to call yourself the Deva Path?"

Using Taijutsu, Naruto grabbed the Human Path and the Preta Path by their throats, one in each hand.
