Chapter 80 – The Five-second Interval 五秒间隙

In the ruins, the deathly silence was filled with intermittent low moans. Tsunade's "Creation Rebirth" technique saved most of the villagers in time, but she herself collapsed to the ground due to completely exhausting the chakra in her Yin Seal, and her breath was faint. Lin Yuan struggled to crawl out from under a collapsed stone pillar, covered in dust and blood. The excruciating pain in his back almost made him unable to stand up. He staggered a few steps, plopped down beside Sakura, and panted heavily.

Sakura had just used medical ninjutsu to treat the surrounding villagers. At this moment, she was extremely tired, but she quickly knelt beside Lin Yuan, pressed his shoulder, and performed medical treatment on him. Lin Yuan made a face and forced a smile. "Sakura, don't worry about me. Go help others. I'm okay."

Sakura ignored his protest and said angrily, "Shut up! What can you hold on to in your current state? Stop being so stubborn and let me treat you right away!"

Lin Yuan opened his mouth but didn't say anything more. He closed his eyes, trying to relax his body and feeling Sakura's warm chakra slowly flowing into his body. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Sakura, I need you to do me a favor." Lin Yuan said softly, his tone surprisingly calm.

Sakura was surprised and looked at him confusedly. "Now? What favor could you want?"

Lin Yuan lowered his voice, and a determined look flashed in his eyes: "I have a way to help Naruto win this battle." He struggled to take out a small scroll from his waist and handed it to Sakura. "Give this to Naruto. He will definitely find it useful."

Sakura took the scroll, her eyes full of questions: "What is this?"

Lin Yuan replied in a low voice: "It's a piece of crucial information that he needs right now, and it's also a weakness of Pain – ." He paused, took a deep breath and said, "I analyzed this. It shows how the Six Paths of Pain work... like the 'five-second break' of ."

Sakura's eyes widened: "Five-second interval?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's right. After uses 'Shinra Tensei', he needs a five-second interval before he can use the same technique again. This interval is very short, but for Naruto, it should be enough." There was a trace of tiredness in his eyes, but also full of trust. "Naruto will definitely be able to seize this opportunity."

Sakura clenched the scroll tightly and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will definitely deliver this information to Naruto!" Sakura looked at the slug beside Tsunade.

"Please." Lin Yuan leaned against a ruin stone, sat down and said tiredly, "Now it's all up to Naruto..."

At this moment, the confrontation between Pain– and Naruto became more and more intense. Naruto's eyes were shining brightly, filled with anger and pain. While gripping the Rasenshuriken in his hand tightly, he gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice: "You destroyed Konoha... You killed Jiraiya-sensei... Why on earth did you do this!?"

 looked at him expressionlessly, his voice low and cold: "Pain is the only path to peace. Naruto, you and I are the same kind of people, having experienced the same hardships. Only through complete pain can one understand the true meaning of peace."

Hearing these indifferent words, the flames of anger in Naruto's heart burned more and more fiercely. He let out a low growl, and his chakra suddenly erupted, causing a strong wind to blow around. His figure became a quick shadow and he charged at , with the Rasenshuriken in his hand spinning ever faster.

"I'm nothing like you! I'll stop your craziness!" Naruto shouted and hurled the Rasenshuriken at Pain's .

====================

废墟中,一片死寂的沉闷空气中夹杂着断断续续的低声呻吟.纲手的 "创造再生" 及时拯救了大多数村民,但她本人却因彻底耗尽阴封印的查克拉而瘫倒在地,气息微弱.林远艰难地从一块倒塌的石柱下爬出来,满身灰尘和血污,后背的剧痛让他几乎站不起来.他踉跄着走了几步,一屁股坐到小樱身边,大口喘息着.

小樱刚刚用医疗忍术为周围的村民治疗了一番,此刻她满脸疲惫,但还是迅速跪在林远身旁,按住他的肩膀,为他施展医疗术.林远龇牙咧嘴地挤出一丝笑容:"小樱,别管我...赶紧去帮其他人吧,我还能撑住."

小樱没有理会他的抗议,语气带着怒意:"闭嘴!现在你这样还能撑什么?别逞强了,赶紧让我疗伤!"

林远张了张嘴,却没有再说什么.他闭上眼睛,试图让身体放松下来,感受着小樱那温暖的查克拉缓缓流入体内.但就在这时,他猛然想到了什么,睁开眼睛,神色变得无比认真.

"小樱,我需要你帮我一个忙." 林远轻声说着,语气出奇地平静.

小樱一愣,疑惑地看向他:"现在这个时候,你还能有什么忙?"

林远压低声音,眼中闪过一抹坚定:"我有一个办法,能帮鸣人赢下这场战斗." 他艰难地从腰间摸出一块小巧的卷轴递给小樱,"把这个交给鸣人,他一定用得上."

小樱接过卷轴,眼中充满疑问:"这是什么?"

林远低声回答:"是一份他现在需要的关键信息,也是佩恩天道的一个弱点." 他顿了顿,深吸了一口气,"这是我分析的东西.它记录了佩恩六道的运作机制...包括天道的 '五秒间隙'."

小樱瞪大了眼睛:"五秒间隙?"

林远点了点头:"没错.天道发动 '神罗天征' 后,需要五秒的间隔才能再次使用同样的招数.这个间隙很短,但对鸣人来说,应该足够了." 他的目光中带着一丝疲惫,却又充满了信任,"鸣人一定能抓住这个机会."

小樱紧紧攥着卷轴,点头说道:"我明白了,我一定会把这个情报交到鸣人那里!" 小樱看向纲手身边的蛞蝓.

"拜托了." 林远靠着废墟的石块坐下,疲惫地说道,"接下来,就看鸣人的了..."

此时,佩恩天道与鸣人之间的对峙越发紧张.鸣人目光炯炯,眼中满是愤怒与痛苦.他一边握紧手中的螺旋手里剑,一边咬牙低吼:"你毁了木叶...你杀了自来也老师...你到底为什么要这么做!?"

天道面无表情地看着他,声音低沉而冰冷:"痛苦是通向和平的唯一道路.鸣人,你与我是同样的人,经历过相同的苦难.只有彻底的痛苦,才能让人明白和平的真正意义."

鸣人听着这冷漠的话语,心中愤怒的火焰越烧越旺.他低吼一声,查克拉猛然爆发,四周狂风骤起.他的身影化作一道疾影冲向天道,螺旋手里剑在他手中旋转得越来越快.

"我才不是像你一样的人!我要结束你的疯狂!" 鸣人咆哮着,把螺旋手里剑投向佩恩天道.
