Arriving at the Battlefield Naruto looked in shock around him and was confused about where he was, Fukasaku asked his wife where they were and why she had not summoned them in Konoha. Jumping on Gamakichi's head she explained that they should look closely around them and that the gigantic crater is Konoha in which they are standing in.
"Wha...what?!!"
Tsunade looked horrified by the destruction of her village after she emerge from her protection, the Anbu made around them from the attack in the form of a rock cube with blood flowing from a head injury and her diamond mark gone having used all her chakra to save the villagers
...
"Now I don't have to hunt you," Deva said emotionless
Naruto glared at him from on top of the toads as the female path came from above and summoned the rest of the paths landing in front of Deva. Tsunade jumped between them shocking naruto even more at how weak her chakra felt, calling her name out in concern.
"Tsunade!"
"Lady fifth!!" the Anbu guard landed next to her
"I am the fifth hokage...
...And I will never forgive you...the hokage will finish you now " Tsunade said infuriated
"You finally comprehend pain...yet...I have no need of you
Who I seek..." said Deva
The Asura path shot off to Tsunade with his hand transformed into blades ready to skewer her on it but got obliterated by naruto slamming a Rasengan on its back.
...Is me...
Standing up straight, an angry Naruto took his attention off Deva and looked off to the distance noticing a high-level speed chakra signature fast approaching, feeling the chakra felt familiar he waited for it to land, high in the air a dark figure was seen floating in the air noticing in what state his village is, landed besides naruto breaking the ground underneath him demonstrating how enraged he is, when the dust settled Yami stood next to Naruto in his hooded cloak, shocking Tsunade to the core with his appearance as if a ghost appeared before her, her mouth moving without her knowledge.
"...Y-Yami!..."
Hearing his name being said behind him, he turned and saw how fatigued and weak his hokage sitting on the ground was, infuriating him even more, walking to her closer he saw the mark on her forehead was gone, indicating how her state is, putting a hand on her shoulder he gave her some chakra and healed the blow on her head, feeling his touch she asked.
"H-how...are you alive"
"Nevermind that...we can talk about that later, just know that everything will be all right " Yami reassured her
Naruto noticing how gentle the usually cold Yami is, was curious about the meaning behind the words exchanged between the 2 looking at his new attire consisting of a short-sleeved black hooded cloak and grey medical apron (like Broly from DBS but the ear is just a grey material ) and a red Konoha headband acting like a belt to hold it up seeing he was finishing up and walked to stand beside him he faced Deva again. Yami stood next to the new sage and glanced over to Naruto and notice that he felt different he then saw the orange markings around his yellow toad like eyes and his red with black flames cloak and big scroll he added to his usual attire.
"Cosmetic change eh...Uzumaki " Yami smirked at him and Naruto looked over and smirked back and said
"Let's see just how cosmetic it is on the battlefield... there's no need for Konoha's hokage to bother herself with the likes of them, you just sit back and drink some tea granny"
"Ehehe like Uzumaki said...just relax and drink some saki while we take out the trash "
Looking at the backs of the youths before her both remind her of significant people in her life with their images overlapping the 2, Tobirama over Yami and Minato and Jiraiya over Naruto.
"Uzumaki naruto."Deva address him
Gritting his teeth he exclaimed"this stops now!" 4 paths surrounded deva ,three in front of him and one at the back continuing he shouted " GAMAKICHI...get granny Tsunade to safety!" Jumping down from his father's head behind them and taking hold of the Hokage "ROGER!" " Granny we'll take over ...keep the rest of the village out of this, we can't be worrying about everyone else " "all right but take Katsuyu with you she'll come in handy..she has intel " Fukasaku taking the small slug out of Tsunade's hand and jumped on the scroll joining his wife and told the Slug to hide in naruto's clothes for safety " I probably shouldn't bring this up ...but now that I have mastered nature energy " Yami taking notice of him saying nature energy" ..I am able to sense everyone's chakra ...is Kakashi away from the village on mission " not hearing a response from her he reached his conclusion and replied, "..okay.."
"Gamakichi!" the toad jumped to safety with Tsunade in hand.
The 2 got ready by Naruto's ordered "ART OF SUMMONING" The animal path summoned a gigantic rhino and sent it to them , seeing the fast approaching rhino Yami vanished and left Naruto to deal with it , when the rushing rhino reach Naruto he grabbed it by the horn digging his feet in the ground creating a 100feet trench , stopping he gripped the horn tighter and tossed the rhino high in the air , looking back nodding impressed by his improvement Yami looked at the paths and took off his cloak and took a right step forward breaking the ground beneath it and activating his lightning armour V1 his chakra surrounding him acting like a barrier and lightning sparking occasionally ,he disappeared and reappeared before Deva his fist already outstretched in a punch ,right hooking him and sending him against the side of the crater saying " ...why you hiding now..." the paths jumped away with Animal summoning both a dog-like summoned and an ox in mid-air before the 2 summonings can get anywhere the 2 great toad sages jumped up and sang "SAGE ART: FROG SONG" sending a great sound waves to the summons paralyzing them in place , setting them up for Naruto to run under them and created 2 clones behind him both creating a Big Ball Rasengan and slammed the balls in the summons stomach sending it up in the air. The three summons floated in mid-air for the three giant toads to draw their weapons and jumped up to attack them , Petra landed and rush to Naruto with a black rod , hearing the abilities from Katsuyu he dodge the thrust of the sharp rod and sent a right punch but got dodged as well and an invisible force hit the side of Petra's head, sending him twirling to the side his body digging into the ground dying by a broken neck. Yami still standing in place took notice of all his new abilities, Animal quickly summoned a giant bird and stood on it with a sharp skewered beak flying to Yami, while the dog under the chief toad multiple into 3 and attack the three toads, noticing the bird Yami ran to it building up chakra in his right hand and slid under the bird extending a long spear from under the bird's head stabbing through it and out the other side , splitting the bird in 2 with a "GREAT LIGHTNING SPEAR" Animal path jumping just in time off the summoning as the spear cut through the bird.

Being surrounded by a pack of dogs Gamabunta listened to Fukasaka plan to take out the Animal path on his head.The chief toad quickly sent his tongue out to Naruto, grabbing him and jumped into the air with toad Shima sending a smoke cloud to the remaining paths to block their vision, still in the air the Animal path didn't see the toad and got swallowed her in its mouth, landing in the dark the path got doubled Rasengan in the back from Naruto, still in the smoke cloud the Naraka path quickly summoned the king off hell sending its long tongue out and grabbing and swallowing Asura, Petra and Deva restoring them to former health.

Yami waited for the smoke cloud to disperse and saw Deva, Asura, Petra, Human and Naraka standing together indicating they were restored to full health again, hearing Gamabunta landing behind him, he looked back and saw the toad opening his mouth and releasing both the dead Animal path body and Naruto from it, he looked back trying to figure out how the three paths are back again as the summons from the animal path disappeared surrounding the other 2 giant toads giving them some time to breathe.

" Hard to explain ...what do you mean "Inoichi questioned.
"...anyway, I'm going to find the real pain. Please don't follow...I want to go alone."
"You know where he is!?" The Byakugan user asked.
"Yeah ...I found him in sage mode " Naruto answered
" But why do you want to go alone ,what on earth happened," asked Inoichi
"There's something I want to find out " he answered
"Find out...find out what?" Inoichi continued
"I want to talk to pain " he replied
"What the hell are you talking about, I'm grateful you defeated pain, but talking won't solve anything now !!"Inoichi said disgruntled
"So what then should I just destroy pain and his cronies and his whole village and that'll solve everything!?" Naruto erupted
"What's use will talk be, he is the enemy of Konoha we can't just forgive him!" Inoichi said exasperated
"I feel the same!... I can't just forgive him for what he did to my master and the village and everyone!!" Naruto continued
"Inoichi...just let Naruto go alone," said Shikaku

Arriving at a tall tree Naruto could see it was a fake ,walking close to it and opened a way to walk through, looking in the shadows he saw 2 figures next to each other, one sitting in a device looking malnourished with his skeleton showing through his skin and a female with lavender coloured hair wearing an Akatsuki cloak.
"So, are you the real Pain?" Naruto asked glaring at them.
