In that moment, the eyes of the Nine Tails intertwined with Naruto's own, their gazes locked in a profound connection.
A red torrent of Chakra erupted, enveloping Naruto in an aura of overwhelming power.
The very air quivered with the intensity of emotions laid bare.
"Is this the Chakra of the Nine Tails?" Deva Path questioned, observing Naruto closely.
"It seems like the Nine Tails is responding to Naruto's anger," he continued, making his own judgment.
At that very moment, a surge of majestic chakra erupted from Naruto's body, engulfing him in a red aura that rendered him unrecognizable.
The memory of Hinata's tragic death played before his eyes, fueling Naruto's helplessness and anger, propelling him towards an explosive transformation.
Four red tails emerged behind him, and a primal beast-like roar echoed from his lips, moving through the air.
As Naruto, now resembling the Nine Tails, twisted and turned, the very ground beneath him trembled, sending rocks hurtling towards Deva Path.
This formidable attack was a direct challenge to Deva Path's abilities.
Instinctively, Deva Path retaliated, shattering the oncoming stones with a series of powerful strikes from fists and feet.
However, the situation took a sudden turn as Naruto completed his transformation into the Nine Tails.
"This is the true form of Naruto, transformed into the Nine Tails."
He realized, acknowledging that this formidable force was the real adversary and the purpose behind his arrival in Konoha.
Deva Path's expression changed as he realized that Naruto in his Nine Tails form was his true enemy.
Just as Deva Path contemplated countermeasures, Naruto, now in his transformed state, soared through the air.
His shot, wrapped in red Chakra, moved at lightning speed, colliding with Deva Path's face and distorting his face.
The impact sent Deva Path flying, but he quickly rolled in mid-air and adjusted his figure before landing on a high stone platform.
Yet, before he could regain his footing, Naruto's massive hand, cloaked in red chakra, crushed the stone platform beneath him.
Deva Path barely had time to land before a stone pillar broke through the air, striking him directly on the head.
One after another, the stone pillars rained down, resembling a relentless barrage of nails, pinning Deva Path into the earth with only his head exposed.
Yet, despite the relentless onslaught, Deva Path showed minimal signs of damage.
As he emerged from the ground with a little bit of force, a mocking smile formed on his lips, with a hint of a sneer, he spoke.
"Do you hate me?"
"In this situation, can you believe that people can truly understand each other?" he taunted, awaiting Naruto's response.
Naruto remained silent as lightning flashed across the sky.
Subsequently, scarlet energy descended, and white bones extended from Naruto's Nine Tails-like body, forming a fox-like skull that covered his head.
Unbeknownst to all, Naruto's tails had broken through to six.
Each transformation conveyed a single, resolute emotion: the unwavering intent to eliminate his foe.
A determination to end it all, a silent declaration of intent—I will kill you!
On the rooftop of the Hokage building, the Konoha ninjas stood in stunned silence.
Their bodies trembling with an unspoken fear that seemed to emanate from their very bones.
"This chakra..."
"The power of the Nine Tails!"
"Is this what Carnes-sama meant by potential and growth? Could this battle bring out the best of Naruto?"
However, seeing Naruto not only stand a chance against Pain but also about to take down Pain.
They were very happy, for their village power, it was incredible.
A surge of astonishment spread among the Konoha shinobis, rekindling their belief in Naruto.
The sheer might of the Nine Tails had that effect—reviving the dwindling confidence in those who witnessed it.
The chakra of the Nine Tails had always been a source of awe and terror, a force that now promised to defy all odds.
Indeed, this was the formidable power of the Nine Tails, a force that none of the Konoha Village ninjas had escaped encountering.
Each ninja of Konoha had borne witness to the awe-inspiring might of the Nine Tails at some point in their lives, a power that eclipsed even the formidable existence of Pain.
However, the dilemma remained—they were unable to discern which was the mightier force: the Nine Tails or Pain.
Both the Nine Tails and Pain dwarfed their own strength, leaving them unable to make a decisive judgment on the power struggle between the two.
"Is this the extent of your rage, fueled by pain and hatred? Not bad..."
Deva Path remarked coldly, his gaze fixed on Naruto, who seemed to have lost all reason and succumbed to a mindless fury.
But with a sudden growl, he declared, "But I shall inflict more pain upon you!"
