Though Naruto quickly shook his head as he did not have time to be recalling those memories at the moment as he had to focus on the here and now. Ranko might need some help against Pain as she might have started off good against him but he should still be ready to go and help her if she needed it. He had managed to get rid of a number of the other bodies that Pain was using for a while. At least until what seemed to be the main body regain the usage of its abilities though.
"Probably not going to need any help. She seemingly decided to take this fight a little more seriously. At least more serious than when she was fighting with you back home" Gamakichi told Naruto.
"She was not serious back then" Naruto replied.
"She was but it seems like Pain caught her interest just now. Also, she had just been a statue for over a decade and half not that long ago after all" Gamakichi told him
Pain was not playing around either as she had managed to get a few good hits in when he was not prepared for her attacks though now he was ready and would not be caught off guard so easily by them. He had dealt with Frog Kata before and managed to counter it then so having to deal with another person using it should not be that hard.
'Also noticed that she did not seemingly be able to do anything then...though' Pain thoughts were cut as he felt something grabbing him and pulling him closer towards Ranko was after he pushed her away from him.
The only thing he could see was that she pushes her left arm forwards and pulling it back. This act was causing him to go flying towards her at an alarming speed where he has then been pulled in and hit by a flurry of blows from her right arm. This was not just in the same spot but all over his body.
"Who is that girl down there," Sakura asked as she came by to check on Naruto after having finished with Hinata for the moment.
"From what I know her name is Ranko and she was attempted to be a sage I like was around fifteen years ago," he told.
"Then why does she still look around our age then," she asked
"Cause she..." Gamakichi started to say before his brother interrupted him.
"It took her that long to finish her training as she spent those years as a statue," Gamatatsu told her.
"Petrified!? That was the cost of not finish your training properly" Sakura said shocked
"For Toad at least as can't tell you how Slug Sage training goes as you would have to ask Tsunade for that"Gamakichi told her.
This of course pissed Sakura off as he was always taking risks like this though without informing them beforehand. Though not like he could have this time around as she just learned that communication between them and Mount Myoboku was cut before the attack. How she managed to learn this was through someone inform her after she finished treating Hinata from her reckless and thoughtless action.
"What kind of justu is that girl using to pull and throw Pain around like that," she asked
"Those are not justus as she never was able to learn how to use charka for reason," Gamatastu said "She once told that what she uses is called Ki through her knowledge of that she was able to tap into using natural energy"
'So she basically a female version of Rock Lee in sense' both Naruto and Sakura thought at the same time
After all, Rock Lee could not use charka but he still managed to get as far as he did thanks to the taijutsu only.
"Makes sense then if that is the case then," Naruto said as he figured out how Ranko was doing what she was do at least surface level understanding of it
"She merely punching him over and over again," he said
"Anyone can see that as that does not explain..." Sakura started before she was interrupted by Gamakichi
"He is not wrong as Ranko merely is just throwing punches for the moment," he said "Somehow she was always able to use hundred of blows in an instance. Since she had already mastered Frog Kata before becoming a Sage herself, the current her can fully use what she mastered"
Naruto and he then went to explain that Frog Kata allows for one's blows to have increase range thus making so attacks that seem to miss will hit their mark as result. Ranko had managed to combine this with her ability to strike hundreds of times in an instant to give her attacks with an insane level of range.
Pain himself eventually began aware that it was just her punches that he needed to avoid himself as her kicks only seem to have a slightly large range than Naruto did while he was fighting him with Frog Kata. Seeing as she was currently a big threat to him at the moment then Naruto with that insane range and the sheer number of punches she could dish out. Along with her speed which was equally as insane as she must be using natural energy on top of whatever she normally used to fight at this level.
Chibaku Tensei
That what he was going to use to attempt to neutralize this girl before him. It would not be at full power as he still had Naruto to deal with after this was over but clapping his hand together he caused to form behind Ranko. In such a manner that gets her arms caught up in it first binding her from unleashing any other attacks with them and also lifting her into the sky as an attempt to crush her death using the technique.
"You all need to run and run now" Gamatastu told them
"Run but she being crushed to death we have to help," Naruto said
"He is right as we can not help anymore as we might just get in the way" Gamatastu's brother informed.
The giant mount of the earth that Pain was using to attempt to crush Ranko with all of sudden had was looked to be five large claw marks slashing through it.
"Though Ranko learned frog kata from us and was learning to become a Sage from Toads. She is not a Toad Sage like Naruto as somehow instead she became a Cat Sage and in her current state she only sees Gamatastu as someone not to attack" he said.
Ranko fell to the ground after breaking her way out of that small Chibaku Tensei with her clothes a wreck and all kinds of wounds from nearly being crushed covering her body. Though as she landed on her feet she was not doing so like a normal person but on all fours. With enough natural energy coming off her that one could see pair of cat ears on her head and tail having form behind her. Her yellow eyes that once devoid of irises now had a pair of cat like ones. She was beyond pissed off and that rage was direct straight not at the figure before but she looked in the exact direction Nagato the one controlling the Six Paths of Pain was located.
