Chapter 117: Chapter 117: You're Weak
The violent sword energy, like a tsunami, was unstoppable in its destructive force.
The meager repulsive force was no match for Ryujiro's slash, which surged skyward, transforming into a sharp, radiant arc.
Deva Path's face changed dramatically. He hastily dodged, but still, due to the sheer force of the sword energy, half of his arm was torn off like cotton.
As the radiant arc of sword energy dissipated, the surrounding buildings were reduced to dust, and a deep, abyss-like sword mark was left on the ground.
Ryujiro's slash seemed as if it could cleave the earth in two.
From the sky, Deva Path looked at his severed arm in shock, his gaze fixed on the ground below.
How is this possible?
How could a Konoha ninja possess such power?
He was a god.
How could he be defeated by a human?
Scenes of Yahiko's death flashed through Nagato's mind.
At this moment, in the treehouse, Nagato's chakra erupted like a raging torrent.
Konan beside him showed a horrified expression.
"Nagato! Please, stop pushing your body like this!"
"Shut up!"
"For the sake of achieving peace, even if it costs my life, it's worth it!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Nagato's mouth.
Meanwhile, the Pains wreaking havoc in various parts of Konoha also stopped.
Deva Path landed on the ground and slammed his hand down.
Summoning Jutsu!
The previously defeated Asura Path Pain also reappeared.
The Six Paths of Pain were all assembled.
Deva Path was drawn into the mouth of the King of Hell by the Naraka Path and, after being chewed, reappeared before Ryujiro, completely restored.
Did Nagato really think he stood a chance by gathering the Six Paths of Pain?
How naive, Nagato.
Ryujiro sheathed his Zanpakuto.
This action made Deva Path's face darken: "What do you mean by this?!"
Ryujiro smiled and spread his hands.
"I don't need to use my sword to deal with you all."
"Because you're all too weak."
Whoosh!
An uncontrollable rage erupted. Deva Path roared.
"You're too arrogant!"
"Arrogant or not, you'll know once you try."
With Ryujiro's current strength, some of the Shinigami techniques and Haki alone were enough to handle the Six Paths of Pain.
The only thing he was concerned about was Nagato using the combined power of the Pains to unleash the catastrophic Almighty Push to destroy Konoha.
But Ryujiro wouldn't let Nagato do so easily.
In the anime, it was clear that this skill had a cooldown.
Ryujiro wouldn't foolishly wait and let Pain unleash such Almighty Push.
The people of Konoha were already scattered, and the current major issue was the several summoned beasts rampaging through Konoha.
These summoned beasts were too powerful for ordinary ninjas to stop, especially the Hellhound whose scorching flames turned the surrounding area into a burning hell, making it impossible to approach.
These summoned beasts were even more terrifying than the three-headed snake during Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha.
Shuriken and ninjutsu had no effect on them. Instead, their attacks only further enraged the beasts.
Injured ninjas had small slug-like creatures on their shoulders.
Their injuries were gradually healing, thanks to these rare medical slugs signed under Tsunade's contract with the Shikkotsu Forest.
These slugs could split themselves to help numerous injured people, but even they were struggling to cope with the sheer number of wounded.
The medical ninjas were overwhelmed, and the rampaging summoned beasts continued their relentless destruction.
Naruto, meanwhile, had been taken to a hidden location by Jiraiya.
"Pervy Sage, why won't you let me go out and fight to protect the village!"
Naruto glared at Jiraiya in anger, his rage fueled by the sight of the village engulfed in smoke and flames.
He wanted to fight to protect the village. He was, after all, the future Hokage.
How could he ignore the enemies threatening his village?
Jiraiya sighed.
"Naruto, you're their target. You're the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.
The Akatsuki has been capturing the Tailed Beasts, and no one knows why."
"The village must ensure your safety. You are not just important to the village but to the entire shinobi world."
"If the balance brought by the power of the Tailed Beasts is disturbed, it will bring unimaginable disaster to the entire shinobi world."
Naruto clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, but he felt no pain.
Inside Naruto, the Nine-Tails spoke: "Kid, he's right. If you get captured, the whole world is doomed."
"You better stay put."
The lazy voice of the Nine-Tails echoed in Naruto's mind.
"Kurama, lend me your power, please. With your power, I can protect the village!"
At this point, Naruto was still a naive kid, far from being mature.
"No."
"I haven't forgotten about those Rinnegans. Even with my power, you'd just be heading to your death."
"Besides, you can't handle all my chakra yet."
The Nine-Tails lay in its sealed cell, its eyes glinting with a strange light.
What that brat said was true.
Now with the existence of the Rinnegan, it seems their goal really is to revive the Ten-Tails.
How could someone like him know about the Ten-Tails?
In any case, Kurama had no intention of becoming nourishment for the Ten-Tails' revival.
Besides, Naruto was still too immature in his eyes. He only started to talk with Naruto because of Ryujiro.
To Kurama, Naruto was still just a childish brat.
Outside, the three summoned beasts had destroyed a third of Konoha, leaving it in ruins.
At this moment, a graceful figure leapt out, gathering chakra to unleash a powerful shockwave.
Eight Trigrams Air Palm!
The chakra shockwave tore through the air, crashing into the Hellhound!
With a loud boom, the Hellhound spewing flames toppled over.
Hinata stood on the rubble, her beautiful eyes filled with boundless anger. The village she loved had turned into this.
Unforgivable!
Hinata's chakra radiated such intensity that it made those around her feel suffocated.
The rescued ninjas looked on in disbelief: "Is that the Lady Hinata from Hyuga clan?"
"Her power is incredible. She is truly a genius of the Hyuga clan."
But what was this suffocating feeling they felt? It was as if they were facing Ryujiro himself.
