Naruto undid his aura suppression because if he simply did it that way, it'd be too easy.
Nagato who was sitting down was immediately surrounded by the 6 paths of pain to be protected.
Pain's body that seemed to be the head of 6 paths stepped forward and stretched one of his arms forward.
[Bansho Ten'in]
Using his rinnegan's ability he tried to pull Naruto towards him.
Naruto simply smiled and before the rinnegan's chakra could reach him, he ordered the wind to send the 6 remaining members flying.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hoshigaki Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, Tobi, and Konan were all sent stuck into the walls.
Naruto wasn't finished, in that short amount of time, he used another jutsu.
[Wind Sage Style: Wind Cutter]
A blade made out of wind appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the 6 paths of pain.
Crack!
The [Bansho Ten'in]'s chakra that was heading his way in order to pull was directly shattered by the [Wind Cutter].
"What?!" Pain looked at what happened in shock! The rinnegan's ability was destroyed just like that?!
A member of 6 pain's used [Body Flicker] to appear in front of the rest of the pain and stretched his arms forward seemingly absorbing Naruto's chakra.
Naruto simply chuckled in reply as a clone appeared before him with barbeque skewers that caused his face to display excitement 'I haven't eaten food in 2 years!'
Chomp!
"So delicious!" Naruto said happily as he bit one of the skewers the clone bought for him.
Pain and the rest all looked at Naruto dumbfoundedly. He was eating as he fought them?!
As they were thinking that, Naruto wrote seals in the air and pushed it forward to the center of the room.
Not long after, the room was covered by blinding light as numerous seals flooded the place.
Chains after another appeared and tried to stab each of the members of the Akatsuki.
Akatsuki members were all S-Rank ninjas, even if they merely had a second they could react to something.
Sip!
Naruto, who was drinking his tea, glanced at them and with his free hand he wrote a bunch of seals in the air.
It doubled the chains that appeared from the walls, ground and ceiling and rushed in speed as well.
They looked at Naruto with a dangerous glint in their eyes as they rushed to him.
Naruto simply leaned back on his seat as he ate another skewer and snapped his fingers with his free hand.
Boom!
A burst of energy sent them all flying into the wall.
Before they could even react, chains binded their bodies, as they struggled they figured that not only was the chains strong, it even sealed their chakras.
They could only look at Naruto in amazement as he ate while he fought them.
He wasn't even a bit fazed and there was even an additional food on the table. It was ramen.
Naruto grabbed the bowl in excitement as he grabbed a chopsticks with his other hand "My first Ichiraku ramen in 2 years… How exciting! Slurp!!!!!!"
"Delicious! Teuchi-Oochan's skill has improved!" Naruto said happily as he ate.
Nagato who was staring at Naruto dumbfoundedly finally calmed down and asked "What's your intention for doing this?"
Another clone appeared with a document in hand which he gave Naruto, Naruto received it and read it as he ignored Nagato. Nagato who was bound by chains was displeased but couldn't do anything and only waited for Naruto to finish doing what he's doing.
Naruto looked at it playfully as he said while eating ramen "Hum… The 3 villages and 2 remaining villages made an alliance and are about to go to war tomorrow huh?"
Naruto put the document down and tapped the table with one of his fingers resulting in the chains binding Itachi to be released.
Naruto who resumed eating ramen said "Tell me about Akatsuki, Itachi."
Itachi looked all over the place to see the Akatsuki members staring at him but he ignored and replied to Naruto's question "Akatsuki would like to gather all the tailed beasts to be used as war weapon and declare dictatorship so no one will go to war when all the villages are destroyed…"
Nagato looked at Itachi angrily and asked with a solemn tone "What are you doing, Itachi? Are you planning on betraying Akatsuki?"
Itachi continued ignoring Nagato "Or that's what's the goal on the surface. There's someone else manipulating the scenes in the back, I haven't gotten what their intentions are yet."
Naruto drank all the soup in the ramen as he listened to Itachi's explanation and replied as he finished "Is that so? Do you know who they are?"
Suddenly as he asked, space distorted into one of the members of the Akatsuki.
"Hm?" Naruto waved his hand and destroyed the portal with [5 Elemental Sage Chakra]. He didn't know how to stop it so he went with full force.
Crack!
'What?!' the Akatsuki member said in shock, it was Tobi.
Naruto smiled and asked Itachi "Was that a mangekyou sharingan's ability?"
Itachi nodded and replied "His Akatsuki name is Tobi but he introduced himself to me as Madara when he helped me massacre the clan. Include Kisame in that too, I've noticed their interactions over the years."
Kisame couldn't help but laugh dryly at Itachi. He actually noticed it?
"Madara?" Naruto looked at Tobi weirdly and replied "His chakra isn't even as strong as 20% of Hashi-jii's chakra so he's out."
Itachi nodded and said "That's what I thought too."
Naruto chuckled and looked at Nagato "Uzumaki Nagato, in other words probably my uncle. How about it? Want to become the new root of Konoha?"
Nagato snorted and replied "Stop joking around! Only when everyone experiences true pain will everyone truly understand each other!"
Naruto laughed out loud and said "That's simply not true. How naive. You'll only create another one of you who's path is wrong."
"What do you know?!" Nagato angrily replied.
Naruto simply showed his aura again to everyone and said coldly "I don't need to know! I will declare a dictatorship! As long as I'm alive no one will be in war! When they do! I'll destroy the village that declared war!"
Nagato tried to talk despite the oppression of Naruto's chakra, gritting his teeth he replied "You don't understand! Only when everyone experiences true pain will everyone experience true peace!"
"Stop talking! you overgrown child! There's no such thing as true peace! As long as human emotions exist, the cycle of love and hatred will exist! Temporary peace is true peace albeit short! For as long as I live, I will guarantee that there will be no such things as world war! I will not interfere in the scruples between clans or enemies but no one will drag nations to fight a war where they will sacrifice the lives of those who are unwilling!"
Nagato couldn't understand… he refused to understand! He simply gritted his teeth angrily as he stared at Naruto.
Naruto didn't speak to Nagato further and asked "What are you planning to do now? Itachi?"
Itachi smiled slightly and replied "I plan on dying by Sasuke's hands."
Naruto didn't understand the thoughts of Itachi and simply shook his head and asked the rest of the members of Akatsuki "How about you guys? Do you wanna join root?"
They all nodded in awe. They would follow the strong wherever!
Deidara laughed and replied "I have no objection following the strong! I'll join!"
Sasori also nodded in agreement.
Naruto glanced at the rest and saw that they were either part of the mastermind or the puppet so he didn't ask further.
Naruto freed the two of them and called them "Let's go."
The two of them hurried and stood beside Naruto.
Naruto patted them both in the shoulder that left them confused.
Naruto didn't explain but asked Itachi "You wanna go?"
Itachi shook his head and Naruto didn't ask further. "Is that so? You can leave too. Don't meddle with the chains, it'll trap you too."
He used [Flying Thunder God Jutsu] and teleported the 3 of them away.
…
Konoha root…
Tobirama was sitting in his office with a frown on his face, he was immediately alerted when he detected chakras teleporting in his office 'Flying Thunder God Jutsu?!'
He tried to stand up but was dumbfounded at the one who arrived.
"Yo! Tobi-jii!"
A blond youth with blue eyes stood before him with a smile on his face.
"Are you Naruto?"
Naruto chuckled and replied "Who else would it be if not me?"
Naruto looked at the ground and said "Hm?"
"What's wrong?" Tobirama was happy to see Naruto but asked in wariness as he saw him alerted.
Naruto replied as he pulled someone here "Tobi-jii… That's wrong, someone's been spying on you."
"What?!" Tobirama asked in shock. He couldn't even detect it?!
Suddenly, a mass made out of black liquid was forced out from the ground. It took shape in a human form and ran away towards the exit.
Naruto didn't let him go and immediately pressured him to the ground with [Wind Sage Chakra].
'Sage Chakra?!'' Black Zetsu looked at Naruto in shock. 'Moreover, that usage is like he's using it as his own instead of borrowing!'
