With those words, a powerful punch crashed into the ground, unleashing a force that propelled water outward.
Whether it was a result of Water Style jutsu or not remained uncertain.
Just as it was unclear if Water Style jutsu was used or not, but in an instant, a torrent of water surged toward Naruto.
Encased in a fiery red chakra, Naruto found himself engulfed in a watery battlefield, transforming the once-dry rooftop into a sea of fluid chaos.
Deva Path observed the unfolding events with keen eyes as a dense mist veiled the surroundings.
A silent walk in the mist seemed to conceal the imminent clash.
Without hesitation, Deva Path swiftly surged forward, propelled by an urgency to intervene.
However, the Naruto before him was not the one he remembered.
The Naruto before him had undergone a profound transformation, a metamorphosis that transcended its former self.
Naruto's combat prowess had multiplied several folds, unshackled by the constraints of Chakra.
They were now free from the boundary of Chakra limitations.
The red chakra of the Nine Tails materialized into formidable claws, ready to strike, slashing towards Deva Path with unrestrained power.
In the face of this formidable display, Deva Path found himself compelled to evade, he had no other choice.
His small figure danced through the mist like a swallow navigating a dense forest.
Despite his nimbleness, the relentless pursuit of Chakra proved inescapable; the pursuit of Chakra persisted, closing in on him.
In a sudden and unexpected turn of fate the Deva Path was sent away tumbling.
Seizing the opportunity, he swiftly repositioned himself on a nearby rock.
With a swift calculated gesture, he unleashed the power of Almighty Push.
In an instant, a barrage of red Chakra transformed into missiles, raining down upon the Deva Path's foothold with a ferocity reminiscent of the warfare in Carnes' previous life.
The spectacle elicited shock from the Konoha Shinobi on the Hokage building rooftop, witnessing a level of intensity beyond the ordinary.
Naruto's unleashed fury left them in awe, a spectacle of intensity visible to the naked eye.
Tsunade's gaze, laden with complexity, shifted towards Carnes, as she watched the unfolding spectacle.
Carnes, however, maintained a serene demeanor, seemingly unfazed by the unfolding chaos.
It was as if such occurrences were a common routine for him.
Tsunade, contemplating whether to voice her thoughts, hesitated and ultimately remained silent.
Her lips parted slightly, hinting at a desire to comment, yet she refrained from doing so.
Carnes, on the other hand, undeterred, observed the unfolding battle with a genuine interest.
As the fight commenced, memories of its beginning flashed across the screen.
He had initially viewed it on a phone, despite the initial excitement, it seemed to lack a certain flavor.
However, being present at the scene and witnessing the clash firsthand, had significantly enhanced his experience, offering a much more vivid and engaging spectacle.
The experience had evolved into a far more captivating fight.
In fact, Carnes, now in the Naruto world.
He found himself in the midst of the Six Paths Pain invasion of Konoha Village, with only a few days in between.
The timeline was very tight without any gap.
Despite Carnes spending less than half a day observing the excitement, the battle was so exhilarating and impressive that time seemed to lose its grip.
Yet, Carnes grappled with a dilemma – a system task he couldn't quite quantify.
If he personally stopped Nagato now and Nagato later destroyed Konoha Village, would it be a success or failure?
The uncertainty lingered, especially regarding the consequences of directly confronting Nagato.
Furthermore, if Carnes directly beheaded the current Nagato on the spot, what would happen?
Would killing the present Nagato erase the one on his ship?
Carnes couldn't get an answer, leaving him in a state of uncertainty without any solution to this conundrum.
The battle between Deva Path and Naruto would unfold over a single day.
Carnes decided to adopt a passive stance, choosing to protect Konoha Village by waiting until the battle concluded.
To him, it was akin to spectating while on a journey – a reason why he refrained from interfering in the Naruto world's events.
With his formidable strength, there were no adversaries in this world.
His strength rendered him unmatched in this world, granting him the ability to shape events without opposition.
Though on the battlefield, Chakra bombs continued to rain down from above and their relentless assault continued.
The Konoha Shinobi were dumbfounded by the intensity.
Murmurs of disbelief filled the air as they questioned how did the Pain survived.
Carnes couldn't help but smile at their naive thoughts, realizing they had yet to witness true terror.
The Konoha Shinobi were quick to voice their thoughts.
"The power is outrageous! Pain must be defeated. He should be dead by now, right?!"
Carnes chuckled at their innocence, realizing that these ninjas were underestimating the strength of Deva Path and Nagato.
After Naruto ceased his onslaught, Deva Path stood unscathed, a disdainful sneer on his face.
Mocking Naruto's efforts, he remarked, "Is this the extent of your power?
Your pain is not very impressive, it feels inadequate."
Little did he know that in this world, the fastest action was a slap to the face.
Before he could complete his sentence and finish his boast, several chakra bombs struck Deva Path, sending him flying.
Although the impact didn't cause substantial damage, it left a stinging mark on his face.
