Chapter 315: VS Six Paths of Pain
"Jiraiya never wanted to be the Hokage in the first place, so there's no need for him to bear the infamy of starting a war."
Naruto said so.
He looked into Pain's eyes.
Just as Nagato thought, the Rinnegan was still devouring his Chakra, like a starving man seeing a feast after ten days without food.
However, with the Nine-Tailed added in, this Chakra consumption wouldn't affect his fighting.
"I see..."
The Heavenly Dao nodded, and the other Pains beside him leapt in all directions.
Deva Path Pain himself slowly raised his right hand, his palm aimed at Naruto in the center, and cold words escaped his lips:
"Bansho Tenin!"
A powerful, irresistible invisible suction suddenly acted upon Naruto.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed his body, trying to force him toward the Heavenly Dao!
Naruto's brow furrowed, but he didn't panic. He also raised his right hand and waved it in the air toward the direction of the suction:
"Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force erupted with Naruto as the center, colliding head-on with the suction of Bansho Tenin.
The two forces clashed violently in the air, producing a muffled explosion as the air was twisted and torn!
Ultimately, the repulsive force gained the upper hand, repelling the suction.
But Naruto's figure was also involuntarily pulled forward a short distance by this momentary confrontation of force fields.
Shinra Tensei had a five-second cooldown, and its Chakra consumption was not low.
After actually using it, Naruto discovered that the mana cost of using Shinra Tensei and Bansho Tenin was definitely higher than his own Vacuum Attack.
It was very useful for others, but for him, the cost-performance ratio wasn't high.
Just after Naruto used Shinra Tensei to repel the suction of Bansho Tenin.
"Swoosh— Swoosh— Swoosh—!"
Piercing sounds of breaking air attacked from several directions simultaneously.
Five missiles with fire spewing from their tails carved strange arcs, blocking all of Naruto's possible evasion space as they shot toward him!
The Asura Path?
Naruto's gaze swept around, instantly identifying the source of the attack.
The gold dust particles beneath his feet instantly responded to his call, rapidly gathering and solidifying!
A thick shield wall of gold dust, shimmering with a metallic luster, formed instantly, accurately intercepting the flight paths of the five missiles!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five violent explosions, almost in a single string, erupted on the gold dust shield wall! Flames and shockwaves raged, sending the gold dust flying in all directions!
However, the gold dust that was blown away did not lose control.
After scattering, they quietly condensed into the shape of a vortex.
Almost at the same instant the spiral gold dust pattern took shape, Naruto's figure vanished into thin air.
The next moment, his figure appeared like a ghost without warning behind the Human Path Pain, who had just tried to flank him.
The moment he appeared behind him, a high-speed rotating azure Chakra sphere had already condensed in his right palm—Rasengan!
No nonsense, no testing.
Naruto slammed the Rasengan hard against the back of the Human Path's head!
"Puff!"
A dull and strange bursting sound rang out.
The Human Path's head exploded like a clay pot smashed by a heavy hammer.
However, the expected scene of brain matter and blood splattering everywhere did not occur.
Inside the shattered skull, what was revealed was not bone and flesh, but broken metal pipes, precision gears, and various shimmering Chakra conduction devices.
Only a small amount of viscous liquid, similar to oil, seeped out.
The bodies of the Six Paths of Pain had long been thoroughly modified by Nagato, filled internally with precision Puppet machinery and Chakra circuits rather than simple flesh and blood.
They were merely containers for the Rinnegan's ocular power and Nagato's will.
After dealing with the Human Path, Naruto's figure vanished once more.
"Such fast movement speed... Is it the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique?"
The Heavenly Dao's eyes flickered; he was still very wary of the Fourth Hokage's famous Ninjutsu.
In the distance, Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan flickered slightly, capturing Naruto's near-spatial jumping movement.
For a moment, Naruto did not exist within the Pains' field of vision.
Is that the target?
Could it be the Heavenly Dao?
But the Heavenly Dao did not panic; he seemed to have a plan already.
The very next second after Naruto blew apart the Human Path's head, Nagato had a premonition. He controlled Deva Path Pain to throw his arms wide open, the light in the Rinnegan intensifying:
"Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!
A repulsive force even more powerful than the Shinra Tensei Naruto had used earlier erupted violently from the Heavenly Dao as the center.
This time, the range of the repulsive force was larger and the intensity higher, clearly anticipating a potential follow-up lightning strike from Naruto against the Heavenly Dao, intending to forcibly repel or even severely injure him!
As long as the opponent was repelled, the attacks from the other Pains would follow in succession.
The weak Physical Body of a Ninja meant their margin for error was very low, and he could completely take the opponent out in one wave of momentum.
However—
The tide of repulsive force swept through, but it did not encounter the expected figure or attack from Naruto.
Instead, it violently repelled several strands of gold dust that had quietly spread and approached from the ground during the gap between the previous explosion and movement, shattering them into countless golden specks in the air.
Nagato was stunned. Was his perception wrong?
The Heavenly Dao's anticipatory attack actually missed?
No, there's a problem.
Nagato's sensory abilities had been strong since childhood. His intuition told him Naruto's target was the Heavenly Dao, so how could it not be?
Was he using Nagato's own intuition to apply reverse pressure and force the Heavenly Dao to use Shinra Tensei?
Thinking of this, Nagato immediately controlled the Heavenly Dao to move to the side of the Naraka Path and had the Naraka Path summon the King of Hell.
No, Naruto indeed had the thought of using instant movement to attack the Heavenly Dao.
He had indeed "experienced" an attack where he was repelled by the Heavenly Dao's preemptive Shinra Tensei.
The Time Rewind ability attached to Urashiki's eyes is truly useful.
Naruto thought to himself.
Using the "prophetic" advantage of that brief rewind, he temporarily changed his tactics, choosing another target instead of forcing his way through the Shinra Tensei.
At this moment, his figure had already appeared behind the Animal Path Pain!
"Crack!"
Another crisp sound of mechanical structure breaking.
The Animal Path' head was also twisted off, the break similarly revealing precision internal structures.
"Gulu..."
A strange sound came.
A crack opened in the ground, and the hideous King of Hell's long pink tongue shot out like lightning, stabbing directly at Naruto!
Naruto vanished in another flash of golden light without even looking.
The King of Hell's tongue failed to hit Naruto, but its intention didn't seem to be an attack.
With a sweep of its flexible tongue, it quickly scooped up the headless body of the Human Path and the Animal Path' head rolling on the ground, retracting them into its wide-open maw!
