บท 184: Chapter 184
Pain and the Six Paths were undeniably formidable adversaries, they stood menacingly, their strength evident.
The summoned rhino possessed Rinnegan eyes, but its abilities were disappointingly limited, essentially offering only a shared field of vision.
With tremendous speed, the giant rhino charged forward, its massive form causing the earth to tremble beneath it.
Clouds of yellow sand erupted in its wake, marking its path.
The horn of the behemoth rhino bore down menacingly, aimed directly at Naruto.
Unfazed, Naruto displayed an unwavering resolve. Without a hint of fear, he chose not to evade or sidestep the impending threat.
Instead, he boldly intercepted the oncoming rhino, gripping its horn with a fierce force and with a powerful heave, he flung the summoned creature away.
The Animal Path maintained its emotionless demeanor, seemingly unaffected by the turn of events.
In response, it promptly used the Summoning Technique once more.
This time, two powerful creatures emerged from the summoning: the Giant Multi-Headed Dog and the Giant Crustacean.
Together, they lunged at Naruto, launching another assault, determined to overwhelm him.
Observing the perilous situation, the Toad Sages Fukasaku and Shima, positioned on either side of the scroll behind Naruto, swiftly sprang into action.
"Senjutsu: Frog Kata!" they declared in unison.
Their incantation summoned the ancient powers of Senjutsu, and the two summoned creatures—the Multi-Headed Dog and the Crustacean—were immediately struck by this powerful technique.
Without missing a beat, Naruto unleashed his Shadow Clone jutsu, creating replicas of himself.
Each clone wielded two massive Rasengans, in their hands, their combined power aimed at their enemies.
In this moment, the trio of colossal toads—Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro—synchronized their movements flawlessly, joining forces to confront the summoned beasts.
Together, they orchestrated a devastating onslaught, dealing a decisive blow to the two summoned beasts.
Yet, this was merely the appetizer before the impending war, a mere taste of the battles yet to come.
Everyone present there knew these skirmishes were but a prelude to the final battle with Pain.
Seizing the opportunity provided by the summoning beasts and Toads fighting, Naruto wasted no time and charged straight at the remaining five Paths of Pains.
Initially, Naruto launched a series of attacks which seemed futile as he struggled to comprehend their unique abilities.
It wasn't until Katsuyu offered some much-needed guidance that he began to adapt his strategy.
Under her watchful advice and with newfound resolve, Naruto harnessed the power of frog-kata, converting natural energy for his use.
In a powerful display, he unleashed a devastating punch that sent the Preta Path hurtling backward, now he effectively dealt with two of the major Pains one after another.
This surprising turn of events raised an eyebrow on the Deva Path, who had grown slightly wary of Naruto's prowess.
With successive victories, Naruto's determination was unwavering, he knew, however, that this alone wouldn't suffice, he needed to do more.
With a determined expression, he raised his head and declared.
"I don't have the time to fight with them individually. It's time to settle this with a final, decisive attack!"
He then used his renowned "Shadow Clone Technique."
Two identical Naruto appeared, increasing their forces exponentially.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Hokage building, Demiurge's patience had worn thin.
"A battle of this level lacks the thrill I anticipated. It's chaotic and far from clean," he grumbled.
Carnes, however, disagreed he held a different perspective.
He knew most about the people of the Naruto world.
He also understood that their encounters typically favored a high offense and limited defense strategy.
Most individuals here were accustomed to launching potent attacks but lacked defensive capabilities.
Unlike the people of the Pirate World, known for their formidable resilience and thick skin, these ninjas could be dispatched with a well-timed strike, so they often needed to be more cautious.
To unravel the mysteries of their opponents, they'd need to employ subtle strategies before delving into the brutal combat stage.
"It's all part of the process. He may seem inexperienced now," Carnes replied in a hushed tone.
"But his potential is boundless. In time, he'll unleash power that will astonish you."
Demiurge refrained from further comment after hearing his captain's insights.
Instead, he admitted, "I must say, Captain, you seem to be quite taken with this blond boy, Uzumaki Naruto. Do you have a fondness for him?"
Carnes acknowledged with a nod, "His potential is truly remarkable."
"Yes, it's a shame he declined my offer."
Hearing this, Carnes couldn't help but roll his eyes at Demiurge, his thoughts a mix of irritation and amusement.
'Good lord,' he thought, sarcasm dripping from his mental voice.
'You really want to try and recruit Naruto, the child of destiny to our cause. As if it were that simple.'
He contemplated the idea of Naruto, the main character of this world, easily swayed by their persuasion.
As he was no ordinary individual; he was a child of this world, the Hokage's son.
The prospect didn't sit well with Carnes.
Even if Demiurge succeeded in his recruitment mission, Carnes remained uncertain about Naruto's inclusion on their crew.
He had his reservations about having Naruto on board.
