In an instant, the coordinated attacks of several individuals rushed directly at Pain!
Just as Pain was about to be torn apart—
He suddenly let out an evil laugh: "The power... it's finally back!"
"It's ready!" Deva Path Pain slowly opened his arms. "Shinra Tensei!!"
"Not good!" Everyone was shocked. "His core strength has returned!!"
Boom!!
With a deafening blast, four people and a dog were flung straight out like ragdolls!
Tenten struggled to sit up, trembling: "Why... why would you do something like this?!"
Pain walked toward the group slowly, his face expressionless. "Even if I told you the reason, nothing would change."
He stood before Tenten. "But it doesn't matter if I tell you again... My goal is to fulfill what Naruto failed to accomplish. Simply put, world peace."
"World peace...?" Lee shouted in rage. "Don't joke with us! Someone who's done this to our families, friends, and village has no right to speak of peace!"
"Is that so?" Pain looked calmly at them. "Then let me ask you this—who turned my village, my friends, my comrades, and my teacher into what you see before you now? It was the shinobi of Konoha. What right do you have to condemn me?"
"Impossible..." the four whispered in disbelief.
"You have your justice. And I have mine."
Pain slowly took out a black chakra rod and pointed it at Tenten. "We are all just avengers in the name of justice. Humanity will never understand each other. Only pain and fear can lead to peace. The shinobi world is driven by hatred. What I bring... is fear so absolute that no one will dare start another war."
"So..." Pain raised the black rod slowly. "For peace, for justice—die."
The rod suddenly plunged into Tenten!
"TENTEN!!" Everyone screamed in shock.
Swish! A shadow suddenly appeared before Tenten—
Pierce. The black rod went through a chest... but not Tenten's.
"I want to be strong like my father..." Hinata murmured, blood spilling from her lips, "...gentle like my mother... I want to become Hokage... cough cough... because Naruto-kun... said he wants to be the man who becomes Hokage..."
She spat blood again and clutched the necklace Naruto had given her. "Please... take care of Naruto-kun..."
Hinata slowly closed her eyes and collapsed.
"Hinata!!!" "Lady Hinata!!!" The others cried out in grief and rage.
Pain slowly withdrew another black rod from his sleeve. "Pointless resistance. All of you will receive divine punishment."
He raised the rod toward Tenten once more—
BOOM!!! A thunderous explosion of dust and wind blanketed the battlefield!
Deva Path Pain was blasted backwards and slammed into a stone wall!
"Who?!" Pain stood up with a shout.
A figure gently cradled Hinata, pulled the rod from her body, and held her close.
"Sorry... I'm late..."
"Naruto?!" As the smoke cleared, Naruto's figure became visible.
"Naruto!!" Tenten sobbed. "Hinata, she..."
Naruto said nothing. He laid Hinata gently in Tenten's arms.
Then he stood up slowly and turned.
His head lifted.
His gaze sharpened.
"DIE!!" Naruto roared. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan spun wildly in his eyes. He launched himself forward.
"My master's son," Pain muttered, and the Six Paths of Pain—which had been mysteriously repaired—stepped forward. "Even you can't understand your father's vision?"
"Five-Finger Missile! Cluster Bomb Launcher!" Asura Path stepped forward, launching rockets from his right wrist and a blaster from his left.
"Open!" Naruto's speed surged. Hyōrinmaru glowed darkly in his grip, infused with Haoshoku Haki. "One-Sword Style: Eagle Fang!"
Naruto's slash wave tore through the barrage of rockets and projectiles with a roaring shockwave!
"Summoning Technique!" Animal Path shouted, and summoned a giant ox, a rhino, and a hound.
Naruto didn't pause. "Sit upon the frost—Hyōrinmaru! Ice Dragon Tail Strike!"
With a sweeping swing, the summoned beasts were frozen solid mid-charge, ice crystalizing around them as Naruto passed. They shattered behind him like glass.
"Impossible!" Pain gasped. "That speed..."
Above Naruto, Five Nature Transformations rained down toward him in a deadly barrage.
Preta Path stepped up and opened his absorption barrier, devouring ninjutsu with ease.
"Sage Mode!" Naruto shouted.
In an instant, silver markings appeared around his eyes. Sage Art-enhanced jutsu burst forth, filtered through the precision of the Sharingan!
"Nani?!" The massive surge of natural energy overloaded Preta Path—instantly disabling him!
All this occurred in mere seconds!
Naruto was now in front of Pain: "DIE!"
With Nine-Tails chakra flaring from his arm, Naruto pummeled Pain with a devastating ten-hit combo!
"Shinra Tensei!" Deva Path screamed. "Feel pain! My parents were killed by Konoha shinobi right before my eyes!"
"Kurama... lend me your power!" Naruto growled, his expression feral. A golden cloak enveloped him—Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
"DIE!!"
BOOM!!
"Impossible! Shinra Tensei was—" Pain was blown away by Naruto's chakra-infused punch.
"Haa!!" Pain stood again and shattered a boulder thrown by Naruto. "You hate me?! You think you understand pain now?!"
"Sage Art: Wood Style—Wooden Golem Jutsu!!"
Behind Naruto, a towering wooden avatar rose with a roar.
BOOM! The golem's massive fist slammed Pain into the ground like a nail.
"DIE!" BOOM! Another punch.
"DIE, DIE, DIE!!!" Naruto roared in fury, the golem's countless arms raining down like a god's wrath.
"Is that enough?!" Pain shouted, crushed but not broken. "My pain is greater than yours!!"
"Shinra—"
SMASH!! He couldn't finish. Another punch landed.
"Sage Art..." The Wooden Golem shimmered with silver light.
"Nine-Tails Chakra Mode..." The silver aura turned silver-red.
"Susanoo!" A purple spectral warrior enveloped the golem—fully armored.
"True Several Thousand Hands!!" Naruto roared.
Thousands of chakra fists, now coated with purple Susanoo armor and blazing with Nine-Tails power, hammered down upon Pain.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!! Explosions rang out like war drums, echoing across all of Konoha.
Every shinobi held their breath.
The golem slowly dispersed.
Pain's twisted form writhed on the ground like a grotesque marionette.
"Is it over?" a distant Konoha shinobi asked, turning to a member of the Hyūga Clan.
"Maybe..." the Hyūga responded uncertainly.
Suddenly, Pain's broken body spasmed. Slowly, impossibly, he began to rise, his face a bruised and bloodied mask.
"Heh... Is that all you've got...?"
BOOM!!!
A monstrous fury exploded from Naruto, blowing across the battlefield like a divine wind.
"Eight Inner Gates Formation..."
"Gate of Death..."
