Chapter 112 - Deva Path

Nagato's Deva Path keeps walking unhindered in the village, searching for his objective the Kyubi's Jinchuriki, taking advantage of the chaos his other bodies are causing, while from time to time he attacks some lone ninja to interrogate them about the whereabouts of his objective.

After killing another Konoha ninja, all of the sudden Deva Path stops, then he says "It seems that Konoha was expecting us... and Itachi is still alive but he betrayed us... This also explains why Hidan and Kakuzu failed...".

Then he notices another lone ninja that was helping a group of civilians escape he has average height and build, with brown hair that he keeps in a ponytail, dark eyes, and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose, soon Deva Path raises his arm and uses Banshō Ten'in, a technique that manipulates attractive force to pull matter towards the user at will, of course, the target is that lone ninja, Umino Iruka.

And Iruka who just helped another group evacuate, felt an irresistible force pull him toward the orange-haired man with the strange eyes, and soon remember the Hokage's reminder, so as he was begin pulled, he takes out a flare and shoot it in the sky, illuminating the streets in a red hue, as he is soon grabbed and held from the throat by Nagato's Deva Path.

The Deva Path then looked at Iruka and asked "Where is the Kyubi's Jinchuriki? Spit it out! If you don't, I'll kill you! Now tell me!" and Iruka defiantly looked at Deva Path and said, "I won't tell you anything!".

Then Deva Path coldly says "I see..." and used a black stake to finish off Iruka, but just as he was about to stab him he was stopped, by a hand that took hold and stopped the stake, looking at the one that saved him Iruka says "Naruto...", and Naruto with losing sight of Nagato's Deva Path says "Luckily I came just in time... Now leave this to us Iruka-sensei" at the same time Deva Path says "So you came directly to me... This will make the things easier"

Then Naruto freed Iruka from Deva Path's grasp by launching a kick at his arm, and Deva Path quickly counter with his own kick hitting Naruto in the stomach, but as soon he was it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Then from Deva Path's blindside, two Naruto holding a big spinning ball of concentrated Chakra are running toward him yelling "Oodama Rasengan", but just as he was about to hit him Deva Path says "Shinra Tensei" pushing everything away and forcefully dispersing the Rasengan and Naruto's Clone.

But as soon as Deva Path used his technique, a noise like that of a thousand birds chirping could be heard from his other side, and soon the figure of Sasuke rushing over could be seen, but Deva Path with his Rinnegan is able to follow Sasuke's movement and evade by stepping to the side and stabbed once again with his stake aiming at Sasuke's back.

But the attack is blocked by a set of Purple Chakra ribs, that protected Sasuke, then a skeletal arm of Chakra came out and attacked the Deva Path, who once again raise his arm and says "Shinra Tensei" pushing Sasuke away, then he looks at the duo and says "This isn't casual... You guy know about the five-second gap... how is this possible?... Well this doesn't change anything...".

Then the Deva Path once again raises his arm aiming at Naruto and says "Banshō Ten'in" and Naruto once again is pulled by an invisible force, but just as he was moving fast toward Nagato's Deva Path, a long frog tongue, took hold on Naruto and kept him in place and Naruto looking a who is helping him yell "Ero-sennin!".

On the other end of that tongue there is a frog slightly bigger than a human, with a white-haired man on top of it, that started doing a kabuki pose and said "Flooded with anger I cry tears of blood! The hermit of the legendary Sannin! The toad demom of the legendary Mount Myōboku! The great Jirai...AII!" but as the pulling force was still applying on Naruto the Frog under Jiraiya moved a little, and made Jiraiya fall on the ground.

Seeing this the Deva Path says "Still as clumsy as ever Jiraiya-sensei... you didn't change at all..." and Jiraiya turn to the frog and yells "Dammit Gamamaru! Do not move when I'm striking a pose!" and the frog Gamamaru replies "It' ain't my fault if you are clumsy...".

Then Jiraiya says "Nagato! Stop this madness! This isn't the way to stop the war" and the Deva Path looking at Jiraiya says "Too many people have died and their pain helped me grow... Even the most ignorant children will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is... And I living at the center of an infinite universe of pain have grown from a person into something more... Into a god... And as a god, I will put an end to this pathetic world and its endless wars... It will be an act of god... I will gather all the tailed beast and create a kinjutsu so strong that will destroy a country... then I will give it to some warring country and inevitably that country will use it... In millions will die the people will be terrified and will know true pain... and so they too will grow faster like me and eventually the world will be in peace...".

And Jiraiya yelled "You are wrong Nagato! You are just begin used by that guy that calls himself Madara! There is no way that you can reach peace through fear!" then the Deva Path shook for a second and then started speaking "It seems that your allies were able to defeat my others bodies... but that doesn't matter... in front of overwhelming power everything is meaningless, I will prove you that... I want you to feel pain, to think about pain, to accept pain, to know pain... those who do not know pain can never know true peace..." then he jumped and started rising high in the sky.

Sasuke then said "Just like Ren predicted that nutjob is about to use that technique and raze Konoha to the ground... come here!" and Naruto and Jiraiya came close to Sasuke who activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and summoned his Susanoo in its complete body form, taking the form of a huge tengu with a helmet that features a long tengu nose, two spikes over each eye, a slit stretching across its mouth, three gaps on each of its cheeks and one additional gap on its chin, wings and is clad with robes and ornate armor.

Meanwhile, the Deva Path reached is the optimal height to create as much damage as possible and says "I will give the world more pain..." but then a voice next to him says "For the love of the bunny goddess you are fixed with pain... should I point you to some S&M shops in the red light district there you will find many kindred souls...".

Then the Deva Path looks at the origins of the voice and saw a young man standing in the sky with medium length pink hair and green eyes, wearing a black kimono with an ornate sword on his sides that said "Luckily I finished that long-ass incantation just in time... the fight was shorter then I thought"

But then Nagato's Deva Path looked at the newcomer and was about to release his technique, a full-powered Shinra Tensei when he saw him clapping his then after pulling his two palms apart, he creates a green cuboid of light between them and says "Kin Bakudō: Jikanteishi (Temporal Stasis)" and a strong light temporary blinded him.
