Chapter 400 Konoha Crisis 9
The Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken, accompanied by a piercing whistle, hurtled towards the Pain members like a meteor, arriving in the blink of an eye. Faced with this sudden attack, the Pain displayed astonishing reaction speed and combat prowess. They dodged the danger zone with incredible speed. However, at that moment, one figure seemed somewhat slow—that was Animal Path Pain. Perhaps because he was unfamiliar with this high-speed movement technique, or perhaps his attention was distracted, he didn't react as quickly as the other Pain members.
As the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken approached Pain, its immense energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding air, as if the entire space itself was about to be torn apart by its powerful force. Seeing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken about to engulf the entire area, Human Path Pain reacted instantly. As the wisest and leader among the Six Paths of Pain, he deeply understood the importance of Animal Path Pain. Animal Path Pain was the initiator of the Six Paths of Pain; without her, the entire Six Paths of Pain system would be paralyzed. Therefore, without hesitation, he rushed forward, grabbed Animal Path Pain, and with all his might, threw her outwards, escaping the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken's attack range. However, this left Human Path Pain with absolutely no chance of escape. He could only watch helplessly as the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken expanded, eventually completely engulfing him. In that instant, he felt an unparalleled pressure, his body feeling as if countless hands were gripping him tightly, rendering him immobile. Then, he heard a deafening roar as Wind Release: Rasenshuriken erupted. The powerful blast of air assaulted his body, causing him excruciating pain. He tried to resist with his chakra, but the force was too overwhelming, and his chakra was instantly depleted.
Upon landing, Animal Path Pain reacted with exceptional agility. Knowing he couldn't allow Naruto to continue his ninjutsu, he decisively used a summoning jutsu. In an instant, a gigantic and bizarre bird appeared in the air, its sharp claws and beak outstretched, swooping down on Naruto at incredible speed, attempting to interrupt his ninjutsu. This monstrous bird was enormous, its wingspan reaching tens of meters, each flap generating immense wind pressure. Its eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, as if it wanted to tear Naruto to shreds. Under Animal Path Pain's control, the bird let out a sharp cry and accelerated towards its target at an astonishing speed.
Naruto Uzumaki reacted with lightning speed, his body springing up like a spring to dodge the attack that the strange bird summoning beast was about to strike him. At the same time, he detonated the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken without hesitation.
This Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken expanded instantly, like an inflated balloon, transforming into a gigantic spherical weapon. Its size was so vast that it could cover the entire Human Path of Pain. As the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken expanded, it emitted a sharp, piercing sound as it sliced through the air, like an incredibly sharp blade cutting everything around it into pieces.
The ground in this area could not withstand the power of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and shattered. Human Path Pain was also enveloped by this powerful force, his body trapped by the swirling air currents of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and unable to escape.
As the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken exploded, a powerful shockwave spread outwards. Deep craters were blasted into the surrounding land, dust billowed, and chaos ensued. The ground began to tremble, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
Pain, having dodged to the side, stared coldly at the destroyed Human Path Pain, a surge of indescribable anger and disappointment welling up within him. He knew that a conversation with Naruto was now pointless, as the other clearly refused to listen to any explanation or compromise.
Pain slowly lowered his head and murmured to himself, "Deidara is right. Naruto Uzumaki is indeed a guy who can't tell right from wrong! He acts solely based on his own subjective judgment, completely disregarding the positions and feelings of others. This stubborn and opinionated personality is destined to lead him down the path of destruction."
Pain took a deep breath, calming his emotions. He realized that only absolute power could subdue such an enemy. Therefore, he decided to stop wasting time and energy trying to persuade Naruto and instead concentrate all his strength to launch an even more powerful attack.
Then, the Animal Path of Pain attacked Naruto Uzumaki, not giving him a chance to continue using ninjutsu.
Naruto Uzumaki and Pain of the Animal Path clashed rapidly, appearing evenly matched. However, Pain of the Deva Path, observing the battlefield, noticed that Naruto's speed and power had weakened considerably. He immediately realized that Naruto's Sage Chakra had been significantly depleted by the previous Wind Release: Rasenshuriken attack, making it impossible for him to maintain such a high level of intensity in combat.
Naruto Uzumaki knew he had already exhausted most of his Sage Chakra and couldn't sustain this high-intensity, continuous battle. However, looking at Pain summoning his beasts, he knew he had to defeat him completely before his Sage Chakra ran out. Otherwise, these summoned beasts would cause him a lot of trouble. Especially the toads of Mount Myōboku, entangled by the Split Hound, were already in grave danger.
In this critical moment, the experienced toad master Fukasaku quickly calmed down and began to analyze the current situation. He knew the strength and complexity of his opponent, but with his years of combat experience and understanding of the enemy, he immediately devised a strategy to deal with the situation.
Under the guidance of the Toad Sage Fukasaku, Naruto Uzumaki quickly adjusted his tactics, fully utilizing his strengths and advantages. He skillfully employed techniques such as Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan to engage in fierce combat with the Animal Path Pain. With the help of Fukasaku and the other toads, Naruto finally found an opportunity and successfully unleashed a powerful finishing move, defeating the Animal Path Pain in one fell swoop.
However, Naruto had completely exhausted his Sage Chakra, and his body could no longer maintain Sage Mode, forcing him to withdraw. Pain keenly sensed this, realizing that Naruto was at his weakest point, making it the perfect opportunity to attack. Therefore, he launched his attack without hesitation, attempting to defeat Naruto in one fell swoop and capture the Nine-Tails.
Having lost Sage Mode, Naruto Uzumaki was now powerless to fight back. His body weakened, and his movements became sluggish. Taking advantage of this, Pain launched a fierce attack, forcing Naruto to retreat steadily and find himself in grave danger. He tried to dodge, but Pain was too fast, and he had no way to escape.
Naruto's situation was becoming increasingly dangerous; his life was hanging by a thread, but he showed no sign of worry. He simply tossed the scroll he was carrying on his back to Fukasaku, continued fighting Pain, and also stopped the toads of Mount Myōboku who were about to come to his aid.
Just as Pain was about to pierce Naruto with his black rods, he suddenly felt a powerful force erupt from Naruto. This power shocked Pain; he had thought he had cornered Naruto, but now it seemed things were not so simple.
Naruto's aura intensified rapidly, as if he had been revitalized. His eyes became firm and sharp, devoid of the previous weariness and despair. Pain realized that he might have underestimated Naruto; he possessed unimaginable resilience and tenacity.
As Naruto's aura intensified, the surrounding air grew heavy. Pain felt an unprecedented pressure; he knew this battle was far from over. Despite his immense power, he had to proceed with caution against the formidable Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth, staring at his enemy with eyes filled with anger and determination. Suddenly, he swung his hand with lightning speed, striking the incoming black rod with tremendous force. The blow shattered the rod in two with a crisp snapping sound.
At the same time, Naruto Uzumaki didn't stop. He quickly launched a counterattack against Pain. His movements were incredibly fast, like lightning, dazzling to behold. His power was also exceptionally immense; each attack contained boundless force, as if it could tear the entire world apart.
Pain was caught off guard by the swift and fierce attack. He tried to adjust his stance, but it was too late. Naruto's attacks rained down like a storm, leaving him defenseless. In the end, he was violently sent flying, crashing to the ground in a cloud of dust.
Naruto Uzumaki pressed his advantage relentlessly. He knew that Pain was in dire straits, and if he didn't seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, his opponent might gain a chance to recover. Therefore, he continued his attack without hesitation, demonstrating his unwavering determination and formidable strength.
Naruto swiftly formed hand seals, gathering his chakra in his palm, and then pushed out with force, unleashing a beam of blue light. This was Naruto's ultimate technique—Wind Release: Rasenshuriken! This skill had once been Naruto's strongest attack, and now he unleashed it again, targeting the already fallen Pain. He was determined to finish him off with this strike, giving him no chance whatsoever.
