Rain Village.
Rumbling~
In the unique architectural style of the Land of Rain, deafening sounds echo as Uzumaki Naruto, in Sage Mode, faces off against Pain's Six Paths.
By comparison, this time the intelligence about Pain's Six Paths has been leaked, and Nagato's true body can no longer be hidden.
Moreover, Nagato, having lost one Rinnegan, is clearly struggling to operate the once-powerful Six Paths of Pain.
Rumbling~
Shinra Tensei
Under the roar of Tendo Pain, he coordinates with his real body, Nagato, to suppress Naruto in a fierce battle.
"The Sage Jutsu of Mount Myoboku, huh!"
Nagato sneers and roars, "This is the Sage Jutsu from the Fire Temple!"
Although the information about Pain's Six Paths has been leaked, Nagato has also changed from the original story.
Not only are his legs healed, but he has even learned the Sage Jutsu of Fire Temple. His real strength is not weak at all.
"Damn it! You, who claim Jiraiya as your teacher, are unforgivable!"
"I also learned ninjutsu from Teacher Jiraiya, so to you, I am your senior brother!"
"Two students from the same school should understand each other, but…" Nagato speaks indifferently, while Naruto on the other side becomes furious upon hearing this.
"Pervy Sage always hoped for peace, stop joking!"
Naruto roars, and with the help of two shadow clones, a terrifying chakra-concentrated ninjutsu appears in his hand.
Wind Release: Rasenshuriken
"Nagato!"
Konan, watching the battle from a distance on a building, has a serious expression on her face.
At this moment, Naruto, holding the Rasenshuriken, angrily questions, "Stop joking, what peace can there be with what your Akatsuki organization has done!"
"You see the tree, but not the forest." Nagato, too, shows annoyance, "The peace you speak of is false. With the outbreak of human nature, the cycle of great ninja wars will recur. What kind of peace is that!"
Hearing this, Naruto furiously shouts, "Starting a great ninja war for your so-called peace, stop joking!"
With a roar, Naruto throws the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Now, only Tendo Pain and the real body remain of the Six Paths of Pain. The moment Naruto throws the Rasenshuriken,
Tendo Pain blocks the terrifying S-rank ninjutsu with his hands. Under the dreadful repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, a protective layer forms around his body, unharmed by the terrifying S-rank Wind Release.
"Naruto, how long can your Sage Mode last? Or how long can the natural chakra in your body sustain?"
As the power of the terrifying Wind Release: Rasenshuriken dissipates, the figures of Pain and Nagato are revealed, both looking coldly at Naruto.
At this moment, the Sage Mode in Naruto's eyes began to dissipate, clearly indicating that the Sage chakra within him had been completely depleted.
However, just as Nagato was confident of his victory, he suddenly saw Naruto taking out a huge scroll from behind.
Seeing this, Nagato frowned. Naruto had been carrying this giant scroll since the beginning, suggesting he had a trick up his sleeve.
As the giant scroll was unfurled, a bizarre sealing pattern was revealed, with a large 'human' character in the middle.
"Reverse Summoning Jutsu seal!"
Nagato, with his extensive knowledge, instantly recognized the sealing pattern on the giant scroll. At this moment, as Naruto formed hand seals and shouted, a clone of Naruto, who had been meditating at Mount Myoboku, appeared on the battlefield with a puff of summoning smoke.
"Quick, release the jutsu!"
Naruto, having summoned his own clone, urgently yelled. Instantly, with the clone's release, a surge of powerful Sage chakra appeared in Naruto's body.
In a moment, Naruto re-entered Sage Mode, and seeing this, both Pain and Nagato launched their attack.
A fierce taijutsu battle ensued among the three.
"Using a shadow clone at Mount Myoboku to create Sage chakra and stand by, ready to be summoned through the scroll in a crucial moment, then releasing the clone to transfer its Sage chakra back to the original body," Nagato calmly deduced Naruto's strategy, showing rare admiration.
"Not a bad idea, making good use of the Jinchuriki's talents. It seems Naruto, you're not as inferior as reported."
Creating a shadow clone was difficult enough, and this technique was unique to the Uzumaki clan combined with the Jinchuriki's physical gifts.
For an ordinary ninja, the influx of Sage chakra from a shadow clone would instantly rupture their chakra pathways. This method, akin to multitasking, was extremely difficult.
Thus, even Jinchuriki rarely dared to attempt this, but Naruto was an exceptional case.
One reason was the influence of the Nine-Tails, whose regenerative abilities far exceeded those of other Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, coupled with the Uzumaki's physical prowess.
"A commendable tactic, but unfortunate!"
At that moment, Nagato's expression turned serious. "For the peace of the ninja world, today I will awaken you from this fairy tale-like delusion!"
Raigo: Thousand Hand Kill
With a bizarre posture, Nagato summoned a golden Thousand Hand Buddha behind him, and immediately, golden chakra fists attacked at high speed, forcing Naruto to dodge hastily.
Wrathful Buddha
The Thousand Hand Buddha transformed into a Wrathful King, and its golden chakra turned red, relentlessly attacking Naruto with red fists.
"Damn it, what kind of jutsu is this!"
Naruto, in pain and bleeding from the mouth, glared angrily at his opponent.
Nagato coldly stated, "This is the Fire Temple's Sage Jutsu, a technique passed down from onmyoji and powerful warriors thousands of years ago, far superior to the animalistic Sage Jutsu of Mount Myoboku!"
"No matter how strong the Toad Sage Jutsu is, it's still animalistic. Even with your talent, you can't achieve perfection, because the Sage Jutsu of Mount Myoboku is made for toads, not ninjas!"
However, in the next moment, Naruto appeared in front of Pain like lightning. The moment they made contact, Pain's body trembled, and the chakra inside him began to destabilize.
Naruto, with a cold smile, said, "Perhaps you're right, the Sage Jutsu of Mount Myoboku suits toads better, but you're forgetting one thing."
"Sage chakra is most vulnerable to instability. By infusing my Sage chakra into your body, the Sage chakra in your puppet body is already in chaos. And the Sage chakra of Mount Myoboku can petrify a person."
Naruto, known for retreating after a single strike, rarely demonstrated such a wise tactic. When it comes to combat talent, Naruto certainly doesn't lack it.
With that strike, he transferred all the Sage Chakra in his body into the body of Tendo Pain. As he retreated, his Sage Mode began to fade. At that moment, while retreating, he once again unfurled the large scroll at his waist, preparing to summon another shadow clone. 'Excellent tactic!' a voice exclaimed from afar.
At this moment, as Naruto turned around, he was visibly shocked.
Just as he summoned another shadow clone and Sage Mode reappeared, Nagato behind him also showed a confident smile.
Bang! Naruto quickly twisted his body, ready to punch at Nagato. However, Nagato, with a confident smile, formed a hand sign for a summoning jutsu.
With a bang and a puff of white smoke, the stiff and gradually petrifying body of Tendo Pain was revealed.
Thud, thud~ Nagato and Tendo Pain, working together, instantly grabbed Naruto's fists and legs, and simultaneously kicked fiercely.
Boom~ Naruto's body, like a cannonball, was kicked away, smashing through two buildings before falling into the sea, creating a huge splash.
On the turbulent water surface, Nagato and Tendo Pain landed separately, looking coldly at the distant huge splash.
"Returning the same logic to you, you are aware of my Rinnegan's ninjutsu, and because of Teacher Jiraiya, I am also aware of the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku."
It turned out that at the moment when Nagato and Tendo Pain caught Naruto, they both crazily transferred their Sage Chakra into each other's bodies.
The two figures stood on the water surface, and the distant sea water exploded violently, with water splashing like a torrential downpour.
At this moment, Naruto, with a swollen nose and dense bumps on his face and nose, resembling the skin of a toad's back, appeared.
Following this, his hands and feet underwent a toad-like transformation, reminiscent of Jiraiya's appearance, but Naruto was filled with a look of pain.
Two different streams of Sage Chakra entered his body, breaking the internal balance and causing his skin to gradually petrify.
In a critical moment, Naruto roared, and the chakra of the Nine-Tails began to emanate from his body.
Boom!
Instantly, a soaring aura erupted, causing the sea to churn violently.
Nagato and Tendo Pain hurriedly retreated, watching the scene with serious expressions.
"The power of the Nine-Tails? Triggered by the brink of death, resonating with the Nine-Tails' chakra."
At that moment, Naruto was completely engulfed in blood-red chakra, a foreboding power.
Then, the next moment, Naruto entered a four-tailed state, furiously roaring, and a fifth tail began to rapidly emerge.
Roar~ A Tailed Beast Bomb was suddenly ejected from his mouth, but as soon as it was released, it exploded.
The terrifying explosion scattered in all directions, but still headed towards Nagato. Seeing this, Tendo Pain immediately shielded Nagato.
Shinra Tensei
An immense repulsive force was unable to block the exploding Tailed Beast Bomb, and Nagato, frowning, said, "This attack used up all the disordered Sage Chakra in the body."
"But because of its unstable power, it exploded as soon as it appeared!"
"We can't! We must get further away from the village! The battle at this point is already affecting the village."
Glancing back at the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Nagato couldn't help but feel alarmed. If it weren't for the Tailed Beast Bomb's energy being chaotic and exploding immediately, dispersing its power instead of concentrating it, the village would have been in trouble.
"Naruto!"
After sensing the terror of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Tendo Pain and Nagato roared and instantly turned into a blur, running towards the depths of the ocean.
Boom~
Two figures, fast as lightning, raced across the sea surface, and a blood-red monster appeared behind them.
With five tails, Naruto had lost his reason, and in a fit of rage, instinctively charged towards the two distant figures.
Boom~
In his five-tail state, Naruto roared, the blood-red Tailed Beast cloak transforming into a huge hand, grabbing the rocks along the way and furiously smashing them towards the distant figures.
"My pain is greater than yours!"
Boom!
Continually hit by rocks, Nagato was enraged. He and Tendo Pain roared together, having already left the Rain Village far behind.
The counterattack begins instantly!
Boom~
Countless terrifying Nine-Tails chakra transformed into fireballs, furiously attacking. Tendo Pain and Nagato used their powerful chakra to repel all attacks with repulsive force.
Boom~
Their battle had already surpassed that of ordinary Kage.
Merely in hand-to-hand combat, they were terrifying beings, not to mention their fearsome ninjutsu.
Shinra Tensei!
Tendo Pain roared, creating a massive vacuum on the ocean surface with his powerful repulsive force. However, the terrifying power of the Nine-Tails pierced through the sea and overcame this force.
Banshō Ten'in
Nagato suddenly clapped his hands and roared, raising a massive rock from the sea bed into mid-air.
Below, Naruto, gathering the Tailed Beast Bomb, was hit by the falling rock and smashed into the seabed.
Boom!
The explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb, with its terrifying power, turned the giant rock to dust and even painted the sky red.
Naruto had become extremely terrifying, growing bone wings on his body, and his tails had reached the frightening six-tail state.
Although Nagato consciously kept their battle away from the Rain Village, their strength far exceeded that of ordinary Kage-level fighters.
The residual effects of their battle were felt throughout the Rain Village, with the distant explosions and red light clearly visible.
Especially the sea, which surged with their battle like a sudden tsunami.
Chibaku Tensei
Faced with the increasingly Tailed Beast-like Naruto, Nagato finally used his strongest ninjutsu.
His hands formed a highly condensed black sphere of chakra. As Nagato gasped for breath, he threw the sphere, which slowly rose to the sky.
This fist-sized black sphere instantly unleashed terrifying power under the sunlight.
With its powerful suction, the sea below boiled, instantly drawing up countless seawater, marine life, and rocks.
Meanwhile, Naruto, now with six tails and emerging seven, roared furiously.
