Chapter 103 : Pain vs Naruto!

The scene gradually brightened, revealing a red cloud against a black background cloth.

[He turned around slowly, unveiling a familiar face.

[Purple-patterned eyes, tidy black stick piercings, and that distinctive orange hair!]

Countless viewers immediately identified him as one of the Six Paths Pain, the one who had slain Jiraiya, Deva Path Pain!

In the Hokage world, Uchiha Madara observed Minato and the others in silence. If Obito were here, he would undoubtedly find it intolerable.

But Kushina sneered and remarked:

"Uchiha Madara, another soul lost to darkness because of you."

Uchiha Madara remained unfazed and replied casually:

"I merely bestowed strength upon him. The true source of his suffering was Konoha. His parents were all slain by Konoha's ninjas."

Kushina, in response, kept silent. She, too, understood the harsh realities of war, given the Uzumaki clan's experiences.

In Konoha, Jiraiya's eyes reflected complexity, then suddenly shifted to sadness, tears welling up.

He silently grasped Tsunade's hand, burying his face in pain.

As he felt the unyielding grip, Jiraiya's agony intensified. His body trembled, and he nearly burst into laughter!

[Under the blue sky, Deva Path Yahiko's body slowly ascended into the sky, unveiling a crumbling scene below.]

Many in the Hokage world immediately recognized it as Konoha Village, seemingly under attack by the Nagato.

Witnessing this, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but display a mocking smile.

Rain Shinobi Village.

Nagato lowered his head, anticipating what was about to transpire, for he had envisioned that moment countless times.

[Yahiko ascended to the sky and spoke indifferently]

["Feel the pain.]["Reflect on pain."

["Embrace the pain.][Comprehend the pain. "

["Those ignorant of pain cannot grasp true peace!"

[Under the dazzling sunlight, Tiandao Payne stretched his arms, seemingly transformed into a god, gazing down upon the world!

[Then, as a god, he proclaimed judgment!]

["Henceforth, let the world experience the pain!"

["Shinra Tensei!!")

[For a moment, or perhaps a second, Konoha appeared lifeless. "

[The following moment, the space resounded with a deafening roar!

[From the heart of Konoha, several meters of earth surged upward, compressing and rolling towards the surroundings! ]

[In this moment, houses collapsed and shattered!]

The ground convulsed violently, a chaotic blend of mud, bricks, splintered wood, and cement stones forming a colossal wave, reminiscent of a tsunami, swallowing everything in its path!

The tremors persisted, rolling to the forest's edge before the tumultuous waves subsided.

Konoha Village, sprawling and once dotted with buildings, now lay obscured beneath the aftermath—a vast crater, as if struck by a meteorite.

Countless ninjas and civilians, their resistance futile, met their demise in eerie silence.

At this moment, save for a scant few hundred survivors, Konoha Village was a lifeless expanse.

Under the might of Shinra Tensei, Konoha Village succumbed to obliteration!

In the world of the Hokage, a heavy silence befell.

For the people of Konoha, witnessing their home's devastation was unbearable—an instant claim of tens of thousands of lives, more horrifying than any war.

Jiraiya, wrenching himself from Tsunade's grasp, eyes ablaze with fury, declared within:

"Never again! I won't leave our fate to another. This... this is too much."

Tsunade, seizing Jiraiya's hand, resolutely affirmed, "This time, I'm with you!"

Within the Rain Shinobi Village, Nagato, facing Konan, spoke with calm certainty:

"Jiraiya-sensei will come here. Stay here; he won't harm you."

Konan, anxious, questioned, "And you, Nagato? Where will you go?"

Nagato's response was uncertain: "I don't know. I want to see the world more clearly."

With Rain Shinobi Village requiring a guardian, Konan couldn't accompany him.

In the Land of Water, Deidara, journeying with his mother, eyed the scene with envy.

"When will the world witness my ultimate art? I can't wait!"

Amidst the ruins, little Sakura emerged from Katsuyu's protection.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she surveyed the desolation—the once vibrant Konoha reduced to barren yellow-brown soil, devoid of people and structures.

Sakura trembled uncontrollably, with only one person in her thoughts at this moment.

["Naruto, come back soon."]

[She cried like a cuckoo, wailing with exhaustion:]

["Please!! Naruto!"]

[She prayed for his return, praying for him to save everything that was at stake!]

[As if in response, a massive white smoke erupted from the large pit!]

[A colossal harpoon, a short sword, double-edged, and giant toads resembling three hills emerged, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of oppression!]

[Perched atop Gamabunta in the middle was Gamaken, already the size of a hut!]

[A yellow-haired boy with red eye shadow, wearing a royal robe, scrolls hanging horizontally on his back, frog eyes, and red eye shadow stood atop Gamaken!]

["Uzumaki Naruto! Join us!"]

Off-screen, as Kushina watched the impressive scene, she turned back and touched Naruto's head, smiling and asking:

"Is that pink-haired Sakura your girlfriend?"

She didn't care about Naruto's power; the girlfriend was the point!

Regardless, hearing the exhausted call, she felt like she hadn't run away.

Naruto was a bit embarrassed, but nodded vigorously the next second!

It didn't matter if Sakura agreed or not; he was already 50% in!

In Konoha Village, little Sakura was dumbfounded.

It's too embarrassing to have such strong expectations in this shout...

At that moment, the previous video commander paid no attention, and Naruto took Sakura, hugging her again.

The 12-year-old Haruno Sakura was shaken!

Did she really want to be with Sasuke?

[The next second, Naruto's handsome and confident face breaks the defense.]

[The huge Hokage rock is in front of him, and he realizes he's in Konoha now!]

[But Konoha is gone!]

[At this time, a figure falls from the sky, and Pain looks at Naruto indifferently.]

[The next moment, the Summoning technique, five figures emerge from the smoke!]

[Six Paths Pain is here!]

Off-screen.

Although this is the future, Jiraiya can't help but worry.

The power of the six Pains will change the game, and even with Sage Mode, Naruto will struggle.

[BOOM!]

[Dust on the ground swirls up, Tsunade lands in front of Naruto, glaring at Six Paths Pain!]

"You've destroyed Konoha, killed a lot of civilians and crushed their dreams! Trampled on the lives of countless people!"

"I absolutely cannot forgive!!" 

[She hasn't said the one thing yet: Nagato, as a disciple, killed his teacher Jiraiya, and he's completely mad!]

[At this moment, Tsunade's eyes reveal endless killing intent!]

[Pain's eyes show a trace of ridicule, and his mouth calmly speaks:]

["It seems you understand pain a little now."]

["However, I don't have time to deal with you right now!"]

[As the voice falls, Shura Path rushes towards Tsunade!]

["Before I take the Nine Tails, let's get rid of these annoying bugs!]

[Boom!]

[Everyone's eyes are filled with flowers as they see Naruto suddenly appear on top of the Shura Path and slam it down!]

[The Shura Path, which once broke Jiraiya's arm and was completely assembled by machinery, instantly shatters, scrapped!]

[Only five members of Six Paths Pain remain!]

[At this moment, Tsunade looks at Naruto's back in amazement, as if seeing the shadows of Jiraiya and Minato!]

[Naruto, inheriting the beliefs of the two, seems to have become a big tree shielding Konoha from the wind and rain at this moment!]
