Bab 224: Chapter 224
Yet, amidst the surprising confession, the chaotic battlefield demanded his immediate attention.
Hinata, after telling her feelings, witnessed Naruto's expression transforming into one of unwavering determination.
Her focus then shifted to the Deva Path, and without hesitation, she assumed a combat stance.
This time, there were no jokes or thoughts of giving up; she was prepared to fight the formidable Deva Path.
Hinata stood poised against the overwhelmingly powerful Deva Path, driven by an unyielding desire to protect her beloved—even if it meant sacrificing her life.
Rolling her eyes, Hinata adopted the iconic Gentle Fist pose of the Hyuga clan, readying herself for the impending clash.
However, on the other side, the Deva Path dismissed her with disdain.
Even Naruto, a Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails who had mastered Sage Mode, had faced challenges against him.
He showed little regard to him and Jiraiya, a dignified Sannin, had met his demise at his hands.
Now, before him stood a seemingly insignificant girl.
Facing a mere young girl, he chose to confront her with a condescending air of superiority.
Deva Path's arm lowered as he casually wielded a black rod that was made to absorb chakra.
His expression remained cold while looking at the girl before him, as though observing a lifeless being, he treated her like a mere inconvenience.
Despite her preparedness to engage the Deva Path, Hinata was no fool to engage in a direct confrontation.
A direct confrontation with him would surely lead to her demise, rendering her unable to help Naruto.
In a calm move, she waved her palm, catching Naruto's attention.
With a swift movement, the black stick embedded in Naruto's back shattered under the force of her strike.
Observing this turn of events, Tsunade and others on the rooftop couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Thanks to Carnes' earlier bet, they found themselves unable to directly intervene in the ongoing battle.
But now they could at least cheer for Hinata from the sidelines.
"Go, Hinata, that's the plan! First, free Naruto, then we can take down Pain. This is a brilliant strategy!"
"Yes Hinata-sama, you've got this!"
"Come on, you can do it!"
Encouraged by the rooftop spectators, Hinata abandoned the idea of a direct assault, choosing instead to free Naruto.
As she lacked power for a direct frontal attack. Her strategic move for now was clear – free Naruto.
To the Konoha ninjas, this decision appeared as a clever one.
As even with ten Hinata's combined, their combat powers couldn't match Naruto's, they paled in comparison to his.
As Hinata prepared to press on, determined to extend their triumph by eradicating the ominous black rods afflicting Naruto's body, the gaze of Deva Path, not too far off, was abruptly locked in place for a moment.
Suddenly in the blink of an eye, an overwhelming, irresistible repulsive force surged forth.
In an instant, Hinata's delicate frame was sent flying.
And she was immediately propelled backward, caught off guard by the sudden impact.
Deva Path, seizing the moment, unleashed the Almighty Push once more!
The might of Almighty Push's power lay solely in the grasp of the Deva Path.
With each activation of the jutsu, the interval between releases extended, contingent on the power of the unleashed technique.
Facing a smaller adversary like Hinata, the Deva Path opted not to unleash his full might.
Yet, this restraint doesn't diminish the power of Almighty Push.
This was the divine power Almighty Push, a force capable of rendering Hinata powerless.
If unleashed without mercy, it would likely render Hinata powerless.
As she struggled to maintain her composure, she found her blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.
She gazed at the Deva Path; shock evident in her eyes as she exclaimed.
"What!?"
While she was aware of the Deva Path's possession of such a formidable jutsu, experiencing it firsthand was an entirely different ordeal.
The sheer overwhelming force left her awestruck.
Nonetheless, Hinata harbored no thoughts of retreat.
Taking a deep breath, she fortified her resolve, adjusted her fighting stance, and charged toward the grounded Naruto.
Hinata harbored no illusions of defeating the Deva Path.
Her objective was simple—to staunchly strive to free Naruto.
It was the most contribution she could make for him in this battle.
Yet, before Hinata could reach Naruto, the Deva Path extended his hand, using the Almighty Push once again.
