Chapter 181: Chapter 181 : Hidan And Kakuzu (Rewrite)
"Let's find a black coat with red clouds made on it. Weird black nail polish on the nails. There is no doubt about it. This is a member of the Akatsuki alright" Asuma said with confirmation.
"So you really sense them from all the way from Fire Temple. That's really insane" Ino said with amazement in her voice.
"Well, I am a man with many talents." More like cheats I wanted to say.
"Focus now. We only have spotted one. They travel in pairs. There must be another one somewhere here" Said Asuma.
I took Asuma, Ino, and Shikamaru as a four-man squad to the place I sensed the Akatsuki.
Other Jonin with Choji went to other bounty offices.
"This guy is called Hidan. He is a cultist of the evil god that god in exchange for sacrificing others grand this guy a sort of Immortality" I said with a serious tone.
"No way, are you serious" Ino was stunned.
Even Shikamaru could not believe this.
"Are you sure Kirito? How do you even know about this" Asuma asked.
"When last time I took care of those two Akatsuki. I extracted some information. However I did not include it in the report because there was no credibility in the info now after seeing this guy. Maybe that guy Sasori was not telling lies".
Once again the bullshit no Jutsu doing wonders.
"Hmm, so how we are even supposed to kill him if he is immortal" Ino asked.
"Yes you can't kill him but sealing him is a different thing. I can seal him up" I said with confidence.
"I will say that leave this Hidan guy to me and all of you take care of that other Akatsuki member," I asked.
"What, that's dangerous Kirito. You might have killed two Akatsuki members before but even you said that it was because you were able to sneak attack them when their guard were down.
This situation is different" Asuma advised.
"Believe me Asuma sensei. I know what I am doing. Among all the information I extracted from Sasori. One important piece of info was about this guy.
We can't let him draw our blood. I am not sure why but that is dangerous. Among all of us, only I am fast enough to dodge anything he throws at me.
You guys take care of the other one and leave this guy to me" I said with a firm tone.
Asuma after thinking about it a little nodded and decided to believe in me.
At this time the other member of Akatsuki came out.
"There he is. Get ready" I said and took action.
"Wind Style, Great Breakthrough"
A powerful wind gush of wind escaped from my mouth and went directly towards both the Akatsuki members. Making them separate.
"Good job" Asuma said and all of us immediately took action and went towards our pre-assigned targets.
"You did not notice that they were spying on you" Kakuzu asked Hidan with an annoyed tone.
"Hey give me a break. This place stinks so much that I can't even think straight. Let alone look around for a bunch of Konoha Shinobi" Hidan replied.
"Well, I have to agree with you on this one. This place stinks. Who the fuck thought that it a good idea to make a Bounty Office inside a Toilet" I added.
"See I told you that not right Kakuzu. Now even this Leaf Shinobi is looking down on us" Hidan said in an exaggerated tone.
"Focus Hidan. Finish that shinobi quick. We have more important things to do" Kakuzu replied.
Asuma was also about to say something. Mostly like to reprimand me for talking with the enemy and quickly attack him and seal him up but before that Hidan suddenly spoke.
"Hey, Kakuzu. This guy, tell me again what that nine-tail brat looked like."
This made both my team and Kakuzu focus on Hidan and then me.
"Blonde hair and blue eyes. Is a Konoha Shinobi and say 'Believe It' (Dattebayo) after every sentence like an idiot" Kakuzu said
At this mine and most probably the eyebrows of my team members twitch.
Is that verbal tick that famous?
"Believe it or not but people outside your little boy brand group dont identify a person like that," I said with amusement.
"It's him. He just said Believe it" Hidan pointed towards me.
"No, I did not. " I protested.
"You just did," he said.
"Shut up Hidan. He is not the Nine Tail Jinchuriki. This shinobi is his brother. Kirito Namikaze. Be careful. This guy is troublesome" Kakazu said and then looked towards the enemies he himself was facing.
"See I told you that I am not. Now that you are done talking can we start the fight or do you want to wait for the new year" I mock and take out my sword. Rushing towards Hidan.
Hidan too took out his iconic red Triple-Bladed Scythe.
The sound of metal rang in both of our eyes and a smile appeared on my face.
I pushed him back and went for a strike.
Although he was tied to the attack. But I dodge easily.
I just noticed that this guy has absolutely zero defences. he hardly cares about getting him. And why should he anyway when he is immortal?
"Raging Water Goddess" I mutter.
This technique is something Asuna taught me. A trick of a sword where the user suddenly changes the sword hand and confuses the opponent.
Maybe it won't work with someone else but this guy who has zero defences.
"Slash". I made a sizable cut on his chest but it was not deep.
That is a problem with this attack. There is usually not much power behind the attack.
I saw the wound on him but he was like nothing happened.
"Hmm, it's still hard to believe that he is immortal. Pretty weird if you asked me" I mutter under my breath and clench my sword harder.
" Water Divider," I said and then a sword slash rushed towards Hidan with incredible speed.
But When I was sure that it would hit him. That annoying guy dodged the attack in the last second.
"Hmm, so he will dodge any attack which will completely sever his limbs or body apart." I noticed and made a mental note.
Hidan then suddenly cut his own wrist and dropped the blood on the ground.
I narrowed my eyes in recognition of what he was doing.
Then he started to make a weird symbol with his blood and I affirmed my guess.
This is his weird Ninjutsu.
Can't let him draw my blood.
"Now the last ingredient for the ritual" He muttered but I totally heard him saying and got ready.
With that said he jumped towards me.
Chapter 182: Chapter 182 : Against Akatsuki (Rewrite)
"Now the last ingredient for the ritual" Hidan muttered but I totally heard him saying and got ready.
With that said he jumped towards me.
And now that crazy bastard wants to take my blood. Like As if.
I just send few Kunai at him.
But Hidan dodged all of them. The one he could not dodge was struck away by his scythe.
"Oh no you don't" I mutter under my breath and rush forward. A Rasengan already forming on my hand.
I saw a smirk forming on Hidan's face.
"This bastard thinks that he can dodge this attack as well. Then try dodging this" I thought to myself and threw the Rasengan towards him.
He already took a position to dodge the upcoming Rasengan after seeing my throwing it but suddenly the Rasengan Vanish.
He who was about to dodge the attack got a little confused.
Anyone including myself would have thought that the technique failed but only those who know.
Hidan changed his previous idea of dodging and swinging his scythe but before he could do that, suddenly he felt something hitting him.
His internals at this time were twisting and ringing throughout in his entire body.
He was thrown away and I just smirk.
"Vanishing Rasengan." I mutter.
But that son of respected women as we should not disrespect women for what their son does, got up like it was nothing.
While this was happening, the fight between my team 10 and Kakuzu was also going on.
Shikamaru has already caught Kakuzu with his shadow clone.
"Asuma Now" Shikamaru shouted.
Asuma was already on his way. He took out his two chakra blades and inserted them directly into Kakuzu's heart.
"Now Ino" Asuma jumped away immediately and instantly Sakura appeared and gave a mighty punch which even put the likes of Izuku Midoria to shame.
Yup she too have learn the Chakra Infuse punches.
Kakuzu was sent flying backwards.
"Is that guy dead" Shikamaru asked to himself.
Honestly he wants to believe that that is the case but his instincts are telling him that that is not the case.
"There is no way that a member of the Akatsuki will die this easily right" Shikamaru asked to himself.
"Stay sharp, that guy is not dead yet," Asuma said.
Unlike his team. He has enough experience to tell whether he delivered a killing blow or not.
"That guy is not dead. Asuma are you sure about that" Shikarmu asked.
"Yes, Asuma Sensei. I punched him with everything I got. There is no way that he can walk after that. And you too pierce his heart, right ?" Ino asked.
Before Asuma could answer. Kakuzu's body moved and he stood up.
There was anger in his tone.
"You bunchof idiots just destroyed one of my hearts," Kakuzu said and took off his shirt.
The entire body was covered with snitches. Well, at least it felt like it was snitches.
In reality, it was not snitches. It was his Jutsu. A very special Jutsu which made him immortal. There were also many masked snitches on his body.
And then something pretty disturbing happened. His body started to open from the snitches and then black threats came out. And all the masks suddenly came out of his body.
Five different monsters made entirely of the threats and each has one mask.
But then one of the masks which was already cracked, broke and the monster died in front of everyone.
"What the hell is that thing," Sakura asked in disbelief.
" I am not sure Sakura but be vigilant. I do not have a good feeling about this. If those monsters can also fight then we no longer have the numbers advantage" Asuma said.
Shikamaru too nodded at this.
"Crash Crash Crash" A constant sound was coming from the other area.
"That's where Kirito and that guy Hidan are fighting. We need to stop this guy here. Let Kirito do his job" Shikamaru said and took his thinking pose. Asuma and Sakura also took the position of defending Shikamaru and attacking Kakuzu and his monsters.
On the other side of the battlefield.
"Stop swinging that sword you pesky ninja" Hidan roared in anger.
This is because all of his attempts to get my blood were seen by me and I dodged all of his attacks.
Sometimes it's a replacement technique, it's Hiraishin and sometimes plain old clones. But he was not able to connect the attack. Not even able to draw a single drop of blood.
Not to mention, I was attacking him. There were many wounds already on his body. Although I was still not able to cut one of his limbs.
"Sorry not gonna happen, buddy," I said and then form hand signs.
"Fire Ball Jutsu" a big ball of fire flew towards Hidan.
He dodged it and came to me with his scythes but at this time I again took Ninja Wire and bound him.
He seeing that stopped his attack and dodged back.
"Tck, now who is being pesky here? Just stand there and let me cut you" I said and suddenly increased my speed.
I appeared right next to him and swung my weapon.
But at this time I saw him not dodging. I could easily cut him but he did not dodge.
And I realize why. The moment I cut him. He turns into a mud clone.
"Shit" I internally said and show the real Hidan emerging from underground, swinging his scythe.
I can dodge the attack but then I will lose this chance to cut him.
I thought and smirked.
Well, there is another way to save myself.
Unlike other ninjas in this world, who have impressive offensive power but lack in defence. I have something which makes my defence top-notch.
"Armament Haki"
The place where the scythes were about to pierce turned black. Deflecting the blow and making Hidan wide eyes.
"What" I am sure that he at this time wanted to ask.
But before that, I turn and deliver a powerful sword swing.
"Water Divider," I said and a slash of sword energy, this time mixed with wind-style chakra emitted from my sword and cut that bastard's left arm.
"What, but how? I got you there. How did you deflect my attack" Hidan asked in disbelieve.
"Simple. The attack was not strong enough to pierce my skin." I said with extreme satisfaction.
"Stop Joking. There is no way that my attack lacks power. Tell me what you did" Hidan sounded pretty annoyed.
"Well if you want to know then listen.
There exists a legendary power which has changed countless worlds. This power goes by many names but all there is one guarantee if you are chosen by this power. Then you are no longer an ordinary person.
There is a one hundred per cent chance to win any battle and solve any problem in life" I said building dramatic effects.
"What, what it is" Hidan asked already denying the fact that there exists a power more powerful than what his god Jashin has given him.
"It's Called PLOT ARMOR"
Chapter 183: Chapter 183 : Less Akatsuki, Less Problems (Rewrite)
"Plot Armor" Hidan mutter.
He was hearing this term for the first time and had no idea what that meant.
"Leave it, you not gonna understand the mystery behind how the cosmos works. Just understand this much.
Sometimes Talent and Hard Work are not enough. Sometimes some far less deserving get what you wanted just because the luck is with the other guy"I said with a dejected tone.
Not even joking either.
Sometimes talent and hard work get lost in the road of life and those who get the trophy is the one who had better luck.
But that does not mean that we should stop chasing after our dreams.
Because one day we surely get what we deserve.
While Kirito was explaining to Hidan the truth of life. Asuma and his team were having problems containing Kakuzu.
"Ha" Ino jumped high and was about to punch Kakuzu but suddenly a string caught her mid-air and slammed her onto the ground.
I told that girl not to jump attack.
Asuma was handling two of Kakuzu's monsters while Shikamaru was holding down another two monsters.
Ino was the only one at this time who could handle Kakuzu.
But that Kakuzu not Sasori. She was having a pretty hard time even touching him let alone punching him.
Ino who just got slam to the ground looked up and saw Kakuzu forming hand signs.
"No" Ino's eyes shank.
"Wind Style, Great Wind Breakthrough" Kakuzu released a powerful enough wind Justsu which almost upturned the entire area and rushed towards Ino.
At this time both Asuma and Shimaru were busy helping Ino.
Having no other option, she just closed her eyes, waiting for the death. The attack was so fast that there was no way that she could form any hand signs and use any Jutsu.
But the impending attack never came. After some time too felt something weird and opened her eyes.
The person she thought she saw was Kirito holding her Princess style, pretty far away from the attack range.
"Man, It's good to think that I sent my clone to help Ino." Kirito Clone said with a bright smile on his face.
"Kirito Kun, when did you come," Ino asked in amazement.
"I am just a clone. I sense that you guys have a problem dealing with this Kakuzu guy so send a clone, love." Kirito said with a smile.
"I am glad that you did" Ino could not help but say.
"Well then leave that bastard to me and you go and help others," I asked.
"No"
"huh"
"I am not leaving. I too can handle myself in a battle. I am no longer that little girl anymore Kirito" Ino said.
Although naturally, the clone would not give her much attention he could see in Ino's eyes that she meant it.
"Well fine, if you want to help then I don't mind". Clone, putting Ino down and looking back at Kakuzu who was already making another hand sign.
"Ino, before you help me, go and help Shikamaru. Kill that two Monsters he is holding down. Punch the mask and break it." Clone said.
Ino wanted to protest but after seeing the serious face of the clone she just nodded and rushed out.
"No, you don't " Kakuzu naturally knew where Ino was running to.
He was about to attack with another wind-style Ninjutsu but.
"Wind style, WInd Bullets" Clone fired at Kakuzu.
Asuma at this time was handling Lightning Monster and Fire Monster.
His wind style was able to handle the fire mush easily and he himself was a Lightning style user so there was no problem for him to dodge and counter those attacks.
Shikamaru who was holding back both Earth Style and Water Style Monster was almost at his limit.
"This is troublesome. I can't hold them down for much longer. My chakra is almost empty. Good thing that we took care of the wind monster before they separated." Shikamaru whine.
But then he heard someone.
Ino was rushing towards the monsters.
"Ino, did you take care of that Kakuzu" Shikmaru asked but Ino did not say anything and just rushed towards the monsters and punched the first monster hard in the mask.
"No, but I got a little help. I will take care of him pretty soon" Ino landed and said.
At the same time, the monster fell to the ground to death.
Clone on the other side was only able to waste Kakuzu's time. He was not strong enough to fight off against a kage-level Shinobi.
He was just waiting for Asuma, Ino and Shikamaru to take over.
"Haaaa" Hidan rushes forward and attacks me.
hello original here.
This guy just doesn't stop.
After cutting off one of his arms. He became more and more desperate.
"Stop your little piece of," Hidan said.
"Stop dodging and start fighting back."
"Show me how good you are" Hidan Shouted.
"Ask your Mom, she can tell better," I said with a satisfied smirk.
"Oh man, annoying enemies are just the best" I mutter and duck, dodging an angry Hidan.
But the fun time had to end and I knew it.
"Conqueror's Haki" I narrowed my eyes and a terrifying Aura spread around.
Good thing that my team was not around here.
Because the moment my Haki collided with Hidan he almost lost his footing and fell down.
"Now is my chance" I mutter.
Conqueror's Haki is very good for taking out small fries and stunning enemies. But I am still not proficient in it to actually warp my Conquror's Haki on my attacks. Or Use Emission.
I instantly appear in front of Hidan with a flying thunder god.
"Water Divider" I shouted and multiple rows of attack I sent towards Hidan.
Cutting him into 5 pieces.
"Now, Uzumaki style sealing." Taking out a scroll specially made to handle people like Hidan. I put all of his body parts in the scroll one by one".
"No, give back my body" Kakuzu's head stared at me and said.
"Man, that's creepy as hell" Internally thought and held the head and sealed him too. Of course, I first kick a good kick to the head before sealing it.
Once this was done I went to the team and saw all of them fighting with Kakuzu and two of his monsters.
Hmm, my clones went out I guess.
I did not even notice.
At this time, I also sense other Konoha teams approaching us.
I looked back at Kakuzu and narrowed my eyes.
He took back the remaining two monsters inside him again.
In the anime, Kakuzu only died because of the Rasengan Shuriken.
Now I wonder whether this guy will die if I just destroy his heart.
"Well not like I will have time to figure that out."
I said while watching a Rasen Shuriken forming on my palm.
My clones have already done the one thing which I wanted so I can now execute my plan.
Rasen Shuriken might not work for Hidan but it will work against Kakuzu.
We already know this from the cannon.
So just when Kakuzu took the monsters inside him. I knew that it was my chance an appear right in front of him through the seal my clone left on him.
"Excuse me. Please take this" I said and like a sales man handed the Rasen Shuriken towards Kakuzu.
Of course, he did not take it but the speed of my coming to him and throwing the Wind Style Rasengan towards him to so fast that there was no time left for him to react.
By the time I flash out from there.
A big dome of wind already was erected.
Chapter 184: Chapter 184 : Akatsuki's Next Move (Rewrite)
Konohagakure No Sato
Training Ground 7
The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the training grounds as Naruto stood with a determined expression on his face. He just completed his wind nature chakra training after cutting the waterfall into two and now he was totally ready to learn this new Jutsu.
He was on a mission to master the Wind Style Rasengan, a jutsu that would take his skills to a whole new level. Kakashi Hatake and Yamato were training him as Kirito planned.
Actually it was Tsunade who put Kakashi to train Naruto while Yamato was pulled in by Kakashi.
Naruto had always been a slow learner, but mastering the Wind Style Rasengan was proving to be a challenge in particular. Kakashi and Yamato watched from a distance as Naruto attempted to infuse his chakra with the wind element, forming the Rasengan. He'd been working tirelessly for weeks to master the wind chakra all for this. Beads of sweat glistened on his forehead as he concentrated.
Kakashi, with his signature book in hand, observed Naruto's progress. "Naruto, remember to maintain a perfect balance between your chakra and the wind element," he called out. "Take it one step after another."
Although Kakashi said this but even he knew that this technique is hard. Kirito made it looked easy.
Yamato, on the side, nodded in agreement. "Kakashi's right, Naruto. Don't rush it. Feel the flow of your chakra and the wind element merging together."
Naruto took a deep breath and focused once more. His hands began to spin, forming the Rasengan. Thanks to Kirito's previous training, now he can form the Rasengan with one hand but with each attempt, he could feel that merging wind chakra with Rasengan is impossible.
If not for Kirito who already mastered the technique and show him. He would have already declared that it was not possible.
Kakashi and Yamato had been quietly watching Naruto's progress but with each failure, they were getting demotivated.
"Man, this is impossible. " Naruto shouted in frustration.
"And yet your brother without any help created this technique. Completing your father's incomplete Jutsu." Kakashi said.
"Yeah, he is a genius. I am not. So what I am supposed to do about it" Naruto pouted.
"Mah Mah, Naruto. I am not saying that he is better. I am just saying that if he can do it then so can you. You both are brothers after all" Kakashi said.
Although he said that it was hard for him to understand how Kirito mixed the Rasengan with Wind Chakra.
Kakashi and Naruto both remember when Kirito demonstrated the Wind Style Rasen Shuriken to them.
They could still remember the sheer amount of power that technique had.
Clearly an S-rank Ninjutsu.
Both of them back then had wide eyes and their jaws were hanging down in amazement.
The place which Kirito targeted in the Valley of the End was destroyed at the molecular level.
Even Kakashi's Sharingan was not able to see the amount of damage done by Kirito.
Immediately after Naruto rush to Kirito, begging to teach him the technique. But only now do both of them realise that what Kirito made look easy back then is very very hard to achieve.
"Let's try again," Kakashi said.
"But how, It's like Looking at left and right at the same time. There is no way I can do that. How I am supposed to make a Rasengan and at the same time also add wind chakra in it is beyond me" Naruto shouted in frustration.
Kakashi too was not sure about this. Back then, he had his Sharingan open and he saw Kirito doing both Rasengan formation and wind chakra merging simultaneously.
While thinking about this, he suddenly remembers what Kirito said to him before leaving for the mission.
"Tell that idiot not to copy me. Do it in his style. That is the only way he can make this Jutsu work for himself." Kakashi remember and tell these exact words to Naruto.
Naruto after hearing this became even more confused.
"What is that supposed to mean" Naruto asked but then suddenly thought of something.
"Do it my style" Naruto repeated the words and then smirked.
The Hidden Rain.
When news reached the Akatsuki headquarters of the deaths of Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu, a profound sense of shock enveloped the remaining members.
First, it was Diedara and Sasori and now it was Hidan and Kakuzu.
As the word spread throughout the organization, the members couldn't quite believe the gravity of the situation.
Zetsu, who was always lurking in the shadows, brought the news to the others.
Zetsu began, "Both Hidan and Kakuzu are dead at the hands of a Hidden Leaf shinobi. But although they sent a team apparently the shinobi Kirito Namikaze was the one who killed them both."
The room fell silent, an eerie stillness that had rarely been experienced in the Akatsuki hideout.
Konan And Pain just stood there.
Kisame, the shark-like swordsman, couldn't believe the deaths of Hidan and Kakuzu. "Kirito Namikaze, he is the brat who caused us trouble back then Mr. Itachi."
Tobi seemed to be in shock. " Hidan's curses, or Kakuzu's greed... this is a terrible loss."
Although he said that in reality, he was raging inside.
His sensei's son has already caused him too much trouble.
He was practically watching his own plan getting destroyed.
First in the forest of death. And now in this.
He somewhere also suspects that the death of both Deidara and Sasori has something to do with Kirito.
Itachi was emotionless as ever.
Konan added, "We should take this seriously. Losing four members, we are not only down in manpower but there are still 4 more Jinchuriki to trap."
Pein finally spoke, his voice resonating with an air of authority. "We will find out who is responsible for these deaths, and they will pay for their actions. But for now, we must complete the plan.
One Tail
Three Tails
Eight Tails and
Nine Tails
Almost half of the Tail beasts are yet to be captured. focus on that first
Itachi and Kisame you go for One Tail. And this time I want results.
White Zetsu and Tobi, search for Three Tails.
As for Eight Tails and Nine Tails. I will take care of them myself." Pain said.
But then he suddenly turned towards Tobi and asked.
"What about the new members? Are you gathering them" asked Pain.
"Humm Tobi did search but Tobi did not find many. There is that Uzumaki girl. And that Uchiha boy and lastly we also have Orochimaru." Tobi said.
The world Uchiha boy immediately made Itachi react but he did not show any movement.
Even Pain knew the history behind Itachi and Sasuke and he was not planning for those two to meet any time soon.
He will manipulate Sasuke another way.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, a sense of unease permeated the atmosphere as the news of the Akatsuki's capture of Yugito Nii, the host of the Two-Tails, spread like wildfire. Raikage was left seething with anger and frustration. Yugito was not only a respected Kunoichi but also a symbol of strength for their village. And more than anything. Jinchuriki are the pillars of a village in at this time. Taking them away is unforgivable.
In the Hidden Rock Village, the Akatsuki's capture of Han, the host of the Five-Tails, sent shockwaves through the community. The Tsuchikage, the village's leader, was known for his stoic and unyielding demeanour, but the weight of the situation was evident in his eyes. Han was a loyal and dedicated shinobi, and his loss left a void in the village's defence capabilities.
And this time the next danger was to the Sand Village.
Although Gaara was prepared after being kidnapped one time but was the preparation enough?
Chapter 185: Chapter 185 : Shinigami Summon (Rewrite)
I remember Jiraiya telling me that the grandpa toad wanted to meet me. Naruto also wanted to learn a way to use Rasen Shuriken.
This was the best situation to bring Naruto to Mount Myoboku and teach him the sage mode.
And guess what? I already asked Jiraiya to come here and help Naruto learn the sage mode.
This way I can make sure that Naruto is learning sage mode. He is safe and Jiraiya is not going alone to Pain.
Not gonna let him die just like that.
But with that said. Someone has to take care of Pain.
I might go after him but before that, I better go and talk with the grandpa toad.
So leaving both Jiraiya and Naruto in their training. I in fact riled up Jiraiya so much that now he wanted to complete his Sage mode and master it.
Good, the ninja world will need more fighters in the future anyway.
I enter and room and show a Giant toad sleeping there.
"Oh I forgot that he is an old geezer and forgets very easily" I mutter.
I knew that this was going to take time.
It took almost 30 minutes.
Man, that old toad has to have some screws loose.
I cursed but then I narrowed my eyes and thought about it more and more.
I was thinking about what the old toad told me.
" This world can't contain me".
"My blood is much more than I think".
"There lurks a power inside me that he is unaware of and thus he can't see my future".
What the fuck that even suppose to be.
If you can't see my future then how come you have so much to talk about me?
I just shook my head and sighed.
But all of his words somehow connect with me.
"This world can't contain me" Well this one is a little understandable. For those who already know where the author going with this.
"My Blood" now that makes me interested. What about my blood?
I am not sure what the hell that is supposed to mean but I have to be careful.
I thought about all this after coming to Konoha.
I was currently lying on top of my bed and thinking about all of this and messing with my system notification.
In front of me was the Template Progress.
[Minato Template 72%]
I got Shiki Fujin. Well, I have to learn how to use that technique but the only difference here is that I got mastery before I even use it.
Understandability so as I will most likely die If I use that technique.
After Mastery though, it's not a problem. I won't die but it will cost me 1 year of my life.
I will consider that much better than immediately dying.
While this was happening, Jiraiya was training Naruto.
"Sage Mode, a powerful and advanced technique, allowed a ninja to harness natural energy, enhancing their physical and sensory abilities," Jiraiya explained but by the look of Naruto, it did not seem like he understood much.
The training was not just about mastering a new jutsu but also about imparting important life lessons and wisdom to Naruto in the anime.
Jiraiya was the ideal mentor for Naruto for many things but not when learning the sage mode.
The unique environment of Mount Myoboku offered Naruto the perfect setting to harness the natural energy needed for Sage Mode.
The process of learning Sage Mode was rigorous, demanding Naruto to perfect three key components: balance, focus, and control.
Naruto had to synchronize his physical and spiritual energies with the natural energy surrounding him, achieving a state of perfect balance.
Jiraiya emphasized the importance of being in harmony with nature, teaching Naruto to remain still and patient and to observe and connect with the world around him.
Then comes staying still. Any sudden movements or distractions could disrupt the process and lead to failure. Jiraiya even used unorthodox methods, like tying Naruto to a toad's back and having him hang upside down over a waterfall, to help him develop the concentration needed to control the vast amounts of natural energy.
If only Kirito had seen this then he might have thanked his system.
In addition to mastering the technical aspects of Sage Mode, Jiraiya also passed on invaluable life lessons to Naruto.
He shared his wisdom about the responsibilities and consequences of power, the importance of understanding oneself, and the significance of protecting one's loved ones.
Again the best teacher for Naruto. Another knuckle-headed and never giving up ninja.
Everyone else who Kirito taught was also training really hard.
Kirito himself after getting the Shinigami summoning. He directly when to Tsunade to get a more class on Medical Jutsu.
Chapter 186: Chapter 186 : Jiraiya And The Dreams Of A Shinobi (Rewrite)
"Hm well" Tsunade sounded a little hesitant.
Kirito was asked by Tsunade to visit her. But now she was hesitating to answer.
Finally, after some time, she opened her mouth.
"Jiraiya is going on a really dangerous mission. It is to find the headquarters of the Akatsuki.
Mostly like he will face all the members of the Akatsuki there and even the man behind Akatsuki." Tsunade said.
"I see, you want me to go with him? Right ?" Kirito said.
Actually, he himself was planning to get a little vacation and follow Jiraiya but now he does not have to go through all that trouble.
"Done, I will go with him. But I have a favour to ask" Kirito said.
"Hmm, what," Tsunade asked.
"You are going to teach me that 100 healing creation rebirth seal" Kirito said with a smile.
Actually, this seal is something she only teaches to her students.
Kirito was not her student exactly.
But she knew that besides Sakura, only Kirito had the talent to learn that technique.
She was planning to teach this to him nonetheless.
" Deal but you have to follow Jiraiya completely. Your usual record of doing things out of order will not work here. This is a very dangerous mission. Do you understand" Tsunade said with narrowed eyes.
"Okay okay, I will follow Jiraiya," Kirito said and flashed out from there.
-Travelling-
"So where we are going exactly" Kirito asked with a question mark on his face.
"I told you, we are going to the Hidden Rain. Most likely the Akatsuki's headquarters is there. Jiraiya replied.
"And how did you learn about that" Kirito asked with confusion.
"Haha, you are too young to know the mystery behind the great toad sage of Mount Myoboku." Jiraiya just boasted at this.
Kirito could not help but just roll his eyes.
Kirito at this point has already forgotten many of the small details which he saw in the anime.
Not like it matters anyway.
This world has already shown him that it's not just a mere rip-off of the anime or the manga.
This was the first time he was travelling with Jiraiya.
"I should get a little more template point because of this, right" Kirito wondered.
Anyway, the point is that he knows that Jiraiya will die on this mission.
Actually, the Idiot had an opportunity to run away. But he decided to gather more information on Pain and even take down his old disciple.
"Jiraiya the Gallant, Yes.
Heroic, absolutely.
But I can't say that he was very smart." Kirito could not help but just shook his head.
Not like he was looking down on Jiraiya. In fact, he admires him.
Those who can even give their lives for the beliefs they hold in their lives are all respected no matter what.
Maybe Madara was a villain but who cares.
He stole the show and Kirito is sure that that bastard had more fan value than even Hashirama and to some extent, even Minato.
Just because he is badass and also he walks on the path he believes in till the very end.
Even the death was not able to stop that man.
Kirito looked at the Jiraiya and could not help but ask this question.
"Hey, Master Jiraiya. May I ask you one question".
Jiraiya who was already getting ready to do some of his research was suddenly taken aback and then looked at Kirito.
"Sure asked away".
"Let's say that this is your last mission. Maybe we both die here for some reason or can't continue our Ninja Life after this.
If that were to be the case. Then what else would you do." Kirito asked.
It was not only a time-pass question.
He really wanted to know.
Wanted to know what the life of Jiraiya the Gallant would be if only he had a chance.
"Maybe I might be able to give him this chance" Kirito just thought to himself.
"Hahaha, how come you suddenly asked me this question kid" Jiraiya asked.
"Nothing, I just want to know. Recently I just asked myself this question. What would I do if I were no longer a Ninja? Where I am going in my life.
And actually, I have no answer to that. The teacher who taught me Swordsmanship told me before he died that I needed to start acting like me and not someone else.
That is the persuasion of Power. I should not forget why I need the power in the first place" Kirito asked.
So I asked this question and I could not answer at all" Kirito said.
"Hmm, Your swordsman master sounds like a wise man then.
Indeed man forgets the real reason of getting strong in the pursuit of power.
Well, since you asked me then I will say it. I am most likely going to continue my book writing and increase my research. Getting an early retirement also does not sound bad." Jiraiya said with a laugh.
"And that what you want to do" Kirito asked meaningfully.
Jiraiya quickly was about to agree but after seeing Kirito looking at him exactly like Minato who once he told his dream too.
Jiraiya could not lie.
He wanted to say that that was all he wanted but could not.
"What about the Hokage Sama? You love her right" Kirito struck when the iron was hot.
Jiraiya was taken aback.
"How did you," Jiraiya asked but Kirito pretended to not hear him. He just kept on talking.
"What about Orochimaru. You wanted to bring him back right." Kirito asked again.
Jiraiya who was walking suddenly stopped.
He was not sure how Kirito knew this.
"And what about bringing peace? You wanted to, right" Kirito said the last words and then looked at Jiraiya for the answer.
Jiraiya on the other hand just kept on staring at Kirito with a complicated expression on his face.
"Tell me, Master Jiraiya. If you die today or in this mission. Will you die happy like a soldier who gives his life for his country? Or will you have regret in your life" Kirito asked.
Kirito although asking this question to Jiraiya himself wanted to know this answer.
What is he gonna do after the story?
Till now he worked hard and all his actions were taken to survive in this world.
But what after that?
He jokingly always said that he wanted to bring peace to this world. But he himself never had a dream.
"You know your father too had a way of seeing through other people's hearts.
Maybe that's why I am not surprised that you saw through mine.
You are getting more and more like him" Jiraiya said.
Kirito just thought about the time when Kid Minato found out about his time travel identity back in Uzu and smiled.
"Yes, I will gladly give my life for my village and country. For my loved ones.
But I have many regrets in my life.
Sorry kid but I know that you too wanted to know the answers to your own questions. That's why you are asking me these questions.
But I am not sure.
All my life I have been a Failure.
I saw everyone who where important to the girl I loved die and I could not do anything.
I saw my disciple die and I could not do anything about it.
I could not even bring back a friend to the right path.
I was not even able to achieve my lifelong goal of bringing peace to this world.
I don't have answers for your question" Jiraiya said with a sad smile on his face.
Kirito for the first time saw Jiraiya like this.
An old man who could not do anything in his life.
But when he just wanted to say something, trying to improve Jiraiya's mood.
Jiraiya suddenly said something.
"But I also believe that sometimes our dreams are so big that we can't achieve them in our lifetime. But that does not mean that they die with us.
So although I might die with regret I do not for a second think that my dreams are not gonna come true.
Because I have entrusted my dreams to the next generation.
This Fire which I always wanted to ignite so that the entire world gets illuminated.
I might or might not stay alive to see it brighten up the world. But as long as someone holds my ideals in their heart.
One day we will achieve peace" Jiraiya said looking suddenly very different than his usual image.
Wise.
Kirito could not help but for the first time in his life really believe in the will of fire.
"And who did you entrust your mission to Master Jiraiya" Kirito wanted to know.
Jiraiya at this smiled.
"Well of course it's Naruto and you" Jiraiya said with full confidence.
"I see Naruto doing that. But I" Kirito did not complete the sentence.
"Hahahaa"
"Kid, what do you know? You might be like your old man but I am the person who taught your old man.
You are more like Minato than people give you credit for.
Listen, maybe this is not the answer to your question but it may give you an idea.
Right now you are just trying to find your calling.
One day you will find it. You will realize.
Success is never about achieving the goal but rather following the dream and finding your true calling.
To dream something big and to finally against all odds.
Work towards that goal.
Power is Indeed the mean to an end.
Success and Failure are just lifelong learnings.
The real Success is to have the GUTS TO Pursue Your Dreams.
So find that dream that you always wanted to do and then announce it to others.
Loud and clear.
"Maybe this is the only area where you can learn something from Naruto," Jiraiya said and then kept on walking.
Kirito at this just kept on thinking.
What he wants to do.
"If I am not acting like Myself. Then where did I go wrong." Kirito just mutters to himself.
Trying to find an answer to this one question which Kashin told him.
"Be what you always wanted to be" He remembers Kashin told him this in his ears when he died.
" What Do I want to be" Kirito could not help but ask himself.
Chapter 187: Chapter 187 : Akatsuki On The Move (Rewrite)
After talking with Jiraiya. Kirito was thinking hard about what he wanted to do.
What he really wanted.
So he continued to travel with Jiraiya. Going towards the Hidden rain.
It took 5 days to reach the land of rain but they finally reached it.
"So we are finally here right" Kirito asked.
"Yes, I only have come here once during the third great Shinobi War," Jiraiya said.
"I also took three disciples here. They were orphans." Jiraiya continued.
For Kirito it was really strange that Jiraiya was telling about the three disciples of his right now. When they were just about to enter the Hidden Rain Village.
Maybe Jiraiya already knew that they were about to fight with his three disciples.
Kirito was not sure.
But right now he was close enough to launch his Haki and sense how many Akatsuki members they are going to face.
So he did exactly that.
But then suddenly his eyes shot up.
"None" Kirito mutters.
Jiraiya heard that and asked what Kirito suddenly is talking about.
"None, no chakra signature is detected there. I don't think so that the members of Akatsuki are in the village currently" Kirito said.
He himself was surprised at this is pretty much the last outcome he expected.
If not one then at least Nagato should be here.
That guy can't walk. He normally won't travel without any good reason. Not to mention, completely leaving their main base like this.
"What is going on here" Kirito could not help but ask.
"Are you sure" Jiraiya too was a little surprised.
It took him a very long time to find the base of Akatsuki.
Although he is here to gather information in name that does not mean that he planned to leave there quietly.
If he can do any damage to the Akatsuki then he wanted to do that.
"I am positive," Kirito said.
After facing Covid, this was the last word he wanted to hear let alone say himself.
But no matter how many times he tries to sense. He can't find any chakra signature inside the village.
"Let's go inside. Standing here will give us no answers" Jiraiya said and summoned a toad.
Kirito was not planning to do that.
He just leaves a Shiraishi seal on Jiraiya and when Jiraiya reach inside. Kirito teleported himself.
"Okay, you search around the streets. I will use my ways" Kirito said this to Jiraiya who after hearing this wanted to say something but Kirito was already gone.
Kirito first made several clones and transformed them.
Making them search all around the place.
The strange thing to him was that there was no rain currently falling in the village.
He remembered that it always used to rain in this village.
"Maybe it's true. The rain is a Jutsu to sensor enemy ninjas. And now that they are not in the village. The Rain has also stopped." Kirito wondered.
But it's not like there is no member of Akatsuki in the village.
There is one.
"Black Zetsu," Kirito thought.
He currently is trailing Jiraiya.
Kirito made sure to hide his presence from him.
He honestly just wanted to capture the bastard already but the special seal is not completed yet.
According to him. Black Zetsu is the product of Yin Creation.
It's really hard to seal him but.
He doesn't even know whether he can kill him.
So after that Kirito make sure to hide his presence as much as possible from Black Zetsu.
And started to find any traces of Akatsuki.
After 1 hour of his wide area search.
With hundreds of Clones working behind in the shadows he himself uses Observation Haki to the max.
Kirito honestly did not find anyone.
"What the hell is going on? They really are not here. But why" Kirito could not help but ask himself.
In the entire anime, the only time Nagato leave the hidden rain is when he personally attacks Konoha with all the paths of the Pain.
Kirito thought about this and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Nine Tails is currently in the village" Kirito couldn't help but talk.
"No no Naruto is currently in Mount Myoboku, learning Sage Mode.
And that exactly was the case.
Pain already knew that Konoha was hiding the Nine-Tails.
But he does not know that Naruto is currently not in the village.
"Summoning Jutsu" Kirito immediately summon a toad.
"Gama I have a really important mission for you. Go back to the Village and station there. The moment you find any trouble there, I want you to inform me".
"Okay" the green toad just said and was about to go out but at this time Kirito suddenly said.
"And make sure that Naruto does not find out about this" Kirito added at last.
Gama just nodded and with a puff of smoke, he left.
Kirito was about to get Jiraiya out of there but suddenly he noticed a certain bird in the air.
His eyes narrowed.
The bird was carrying a message. It was from his information network.
After the loss of Kabuto, he established a very basic Information Network.
He took the the small piece of paper in his hand and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Racoon lost to weasel and shark".
That's all that was written in the message.
"Shit," Kirito said.
The message meant that the current Kazekage, Gaara was kidnapped again and this time it was done but Itachi and Kisame.
Then he saw another bird coming to him.
"Tch, not being in the village means the birds have to find me and the information is delayed. I just should have created a seal for long-distance conversation" Kirito could not help but say.
After that, the message he got was not that good either.
Apparently, One Tail, Two Tails, Three Tails, Four Tails, Five Tails, Six Tails and Seven Tails are now under Akatsuki's control.
Maybe there is a chance to save Gaara but then he won't be able to go to the village in time if anything happens.
"No, I have time. I need to find Gaara. Not only he is a really important character but at the same time, he also holds One Tail. Can't let Akatsuki have the One Tail.
There is currently no problem in the village anyway. And I will go there the moment something happens" Kirito just said and immediately went to Jiraiya to tell him this.
Chapter 188: Chapter 188 : Kirito Vs Kisame (Rewrite)
After telling Jiraiya that he is leaving there is a possibility that the Members of Akatsuki might attack Konoha. Kirito immediately vanishes from his place.
He sends the message in a way that Black Zetsu following Jiraiya does not notice.
Another very important thing which he told Jiraiya was the kidnap of Gaara and he himself will not be going back to Konoha directly thus Jiraiya had to go back as soon as possible.
After making sure that Jiraiya understands the gravity of the situation. Kirito immediately tries to sense Gaara again. But there was no luck at all.
Kirito just sighed at this and directly teleported himself to the Sand village.
He did not contact anyone in the village. There was no time for that. Just looked around and tried to find a way to find Gaara.
"work this time" Kirito said in frustration.
With putting his sage mode and Observation Haki in max level. He spread his sense around and picked a little chakra fluctuation.
"Got it. Sorry Kisame but it's your fault for having massive chakra" Kirito smirked. But the problem is also there.
There is no seal around where both Itachi and Kisame are. Not only is Kirito currently unsure whether Gaara is with them but at the same time, it will take a long for time him to reach both Itachi and Kisame.
Time which he does not have, considering that there is a possibility of Konoha getting attacked.
Kirito at this time was a little torn about what to do.
But in the end, he just gritted his teeth and chooses to go after Gaara.
The main reason is that at least right now Konoha is not attacked.
And with Jiraiya there. Kirito really does not think that there will be an issue.
So Kirito immediately started running towards both Itachi and Kisame.
[2 hours later]
It took around 2 hours for Kirito to reach the place where he sensed Itachi and Kisame.
But there was no way that Itachi wouldn't sense Kirito coming especially when he was using his full speed.
Kisame and Itachi both were just returning to the Hidden Rain after taking care of Gaara.
Obito this time round came in person and took Gaara away.
And this was the reason why Kirito did not sense Gaara.
Itachi too was totally drained because of the fight. As Sand Village was ready for Akatsuki attack this time around.
It was really hard to kill and take Gaara from the hidden sand village.
"Kisame, a powerful chakra is coming," Itachi said. Still had trouble walking as his chakra was drained too much. Not to mention, his sickness acting up.
"You are in no condition to fight Itachi San. Get going. I will handle this guy soon and catch up with you" Kisame said and turned around.
Itachi also did not say anything. He believes in Kisame's power. But he sensed this chakra and knew who this person was.
Kirito Namikaze.
And was a little nervous. The person already has killed Akatsuki members before.
But that has nothing to do with Itachi. He never was loyal to the Akatsuki. So he kept on walking towards the hidden rain after nodding to Kisame.
In only 10 minutes Kirito arrived and saw Kisame waiting for him.
"Hmm, Mr Kisame. What a coincidence that we met here. Tell me you don't happen to be the one who kidnaps the Kazekage. Are you?" Kirito asked.
"Cut the crap brat. I am in no mood to waste time on you today. So get out of here or I will just kill you" Kisame said.
"Hmm, I don't remember him being this irritated," Kirito thought.
"Well, it just happens to be that I am also very busy today. So here is what I can offer you. You tell me where Gaara is or I will kill you and go for your dear Partner to get this information." Kirito said.
Well, this much was enough to start the impending battle already.
Kisame and Kirito faced off in a fierce battle, their eyes locked in a deadly dance of combat.
Each wielded a razor-sharp sword, and the air crackled with tension as they prepared to clash.
With lightning speed, Kisame lunged forward, his Samehada blade gleaming in the dim light.
Kirito too who wanted to first see how strong Kisame is did not directly did a killing move, met him head-on, their swords clashing with a resounding clang.
Sparks flew as the two warriors locked in a test of strength, their muscles straining.
Kirito's eyes, determined and unwavering, bore into Kisame's intense gaze.
With a sudden burst of energy, Kirito twisted his blade and unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one aimed at Kisame's vital points.
Kisame parried the attacks with his monstrous strength, his chakra-infused blade warding off Kirito's assaults.
Kisame countered with a devastating swipe of Samehada, its serrated edge slicing through the air.
Kirito's reflexes saved him as he narrowly dodged the lethal strike, the wind from the blade grazing his cheek.
He retaliated with a dazzling display of swordplay, his sword dancing through the air, creating a blinding whirlwind of steel.
Kisame's shark-like grin never wavered as he absorbed the kinetic energy from Kirito's strikes with Samehada.
He stepped back, assessing his opponent.
Kirito, undeterred, charged forward once more, his attacks relentless.
The battle raged on, a symphony of clashing metal and grunts of exertion.
Both warriors were pushed to their limits, sweat pouring down their faces.
Kirito's agility and precision clashed with Kisame's raw power and mastery of Samehada.
Obviously, Kirito was holding back. He did not want to end the battle without seeing how powerful Kisame really was, but at the same time clock was ticking and his rational mind was telling him not to waste time this time around.
In a final Kirito unleashed a whirlwind strike that sent Kisame staggering backward.
"Fine, I will use this technique to take care of you.
Consider this as me paying my respect to the Kashin's teaching." Kirito said and then crossed his hands.
"Uzumaki Sword Style : Divine Departure" Kirito shouted.
Chapter 189: Chapter 189 : Konoha Invasion (Rewrite)
"I will end this in one move" Kirito said and sheath his sword.
Armament Haki covered his hands, legs and sword.
Observation Haki spread, finding the best way to deliver the attack and then he shouted.
"Divine Departure" Kirito said.
Kisame on the other hand was already forming handsigns. But he was pretty late.
He did not even have the time to see what happened when Kirito appeared behind him.
His eyes widened, not sure what happened but then suddenly his consciousness went out.
"Thump" the head falls.
"Phew" Kirito almost fell to the ground.
This was move still took too much out of him. Its powerful specially if used with Haki but its also completely exhausts him.
"Pure Terror" Kirito smirked.
"But I have to wait until I go after Itachi. My body is strained after using Haki." Kirito muttered and sat down, deciding to wait for 5 minutes.
"Maybe I should use Sage mode. My body is much stronger with Sage mode.
But the amount of concentration I need to use Haki and that sword style together is already immense. Adding Sage mode on top of that will take a lot of practice and hard work.
Konoha Hagakure No Sato.
Unknown to many shinobi in Konoha. Multiple Akatsuki Members right now we're moving towards Konoha.
Pain and all its Paths.
Konan.
Whitezetsu.
Obito / Tobi.
Sasuke and his team.
It was a normal day in Konoha but soon it was about to turn into the most horrible day in the history of Konoha.
Never before was the fight brought inside the walls of Konoha.
Jiraiya at this time was rushing to Konoha. He was able to reverse summon himself to Mount Myoboku, unlike Kirito who already sent Gama to reverse summon himself if anything happened.
Jiraiya was not prepared. Thus he had to ask the two great sages to go to Konoha with their summoning technique and then reverse summon himself there.
Actually, Kirito only needed someone to tell him that something happened in the village.
He already had some clones there to inform him.
He sends Gama there just to save his own Chakra so that he does not have to teleport himself that long.
Soon the Akatsuki members entered the village.
As for the guards. Well, they are all dead.
No less than 13 members entered Konoha wearing Akatsuki clothes.
As the sun began to set over the hidden leaf village, Konoha, an eerie silence fell upon the village.
Konan descended from the sky with her paper wings, fluttering gently as she touched down on the outskirts of Konoha.
With a mere flick of her wrist, she sent paper shurikens slicing through the air, causing trees to splinter and buildings to crumble.
The village was under siege, and the chaos was only beginning.
Obito emerged from the shadows. His allows him to slip through the village unnoticed, manipulating space and time with his Kamui technique.
But he was mostly hiding in shadows. He had a special target so he directly went towards that person.
White Zetsu, with his plant-based abilities, emerged from the earth itself.
His monstrous, tree-like form wreaked havoc, smashing through the village's defensive structures with ease.
He extended his long, gnarled limbs to strike down anything in his path, as his spore-based minions blanketed the village, sowing chaos and fear.
Sasuke was the real problem here though.
The Uchiha had a bone to pick with his former home and had no qualms about causing widespread destruction.
Naturally, Obito has not told him that Itachi was not responsible for the massacre.
He will only tell this to Sasuke after both brothers fight.
After all, this will let Sasuke work for the Akatsuki.
Suigetsu and Juugo, with their unique abilities, complemented Sasuke's assault.
Suigetsu, a master of water jutsu, unleashed torrents of water, flooding streets and buildings. Juugo, fueled by his inner rage, transformed into a monstrous creature, smashing through structures and causing widespread devastation.
And of course just like in the anime. The real problem was none other than the self-proclaimed god himself.
Pain and all of its paths.
Soon the destruction brings all the Shinobi all over the place. Trying to stop the invaders.
But that only increases the kill rate.
Tsunade too ordered all the available shinobi to handle the situation and quickly sent notice to Kirito and Jiraiya.
Even Naruto.
She looked around and suddenly found that one person was not there.
Kakashi was not there.
This is because, currently Kakashi was facing a certain masked man.
Chapter 190: Chapter 190 : Konoha Invasion 2 (Rewrite)
As the chaos of Pain's attack engulfed Konoha, Kakashi found himself face-to-face with a mysterious opponent.
Unbeknownst to him, it was Obito, the one who had given Kakashi his Sharingan years ago.
Obito stood before Kakashi, ready for a battle neither of them could have foreseen.
Obito today was here to take back the Sharingan he gave to Kakashi.
He wanted it back because currently, the Akatsuki is not looking good.
He needs to increase his power.
Obito's voice was cold and distant as he spoke, "Kakashi, it's time to reclaim what's rightfully mine." With those words, the fight began.
Kakashi, puzzled by the masked figure, readied himself for combat.
Obito, wielding his own Sharingan, moved with uncanny speed, launching a barrage of shuriken at Kakashi.
The two Sharingan users clashed in a dance of blades and jutsu.
As their battle raged on, Obito's dark intentions became clearer.
The confrontation intensified as the two warriors pushed their abilities to the limit.
Kakashi's lightning-fast reflexes and Obito's mastery of space-time jutsu clashed in a spectacle of raw power and emotion.
The village was crumbling around them, but neither of them cared.
While this fight was happening, other members were also making all sorts of trouble for Konoha.
Pain's assault on Konoha was a devastating onslaught, leaving destruction in its wake.
The six paths of Pain, acting with ruthless efficiency, each wrought their own unique brand of havoc:
The Deva Path was the only Pain which was doing nothing. Compared to him, every other Path was wreaking havoc.
The Asura Path advanced relentlessly, firing destructive missiles and unleashing powerful mechanical weaponry.
It targeted strategic points within the village, damaging key infrastructure.
The Human Path used its ability to extract information from its victims, causing chaos by infiltrating Konoha's defences and capturing critical intelligence. It compromised the village's security.
Of course, the information he was looking for was the whereabouts of Nine Tails and Three Tails.
The Animal Path summoned a legion of grotesque, powerful creatures that terrorized the streets of Konoha.
They attacked civilians and Shinobi alike, sowing panic.
The Naraka Path restored fallen Paths and interrogated captured villagers, ruthlessly extracting any information needed.
The Preta Path absorbed chakra from any Shinobi it encountered, leaving them powerless.
This action disrupted Konoha's defences and weakened its forces.
But it was not just one-sided destruction.
There was Konoha Ninja who were resisting.
Amidst the chaos and devastation of Pain's attack on Konoha, the village's resilient ninja rose to defend their home.
United by their unwavering determination, they countered the six paths of Pain with courage and fierce determination:
Sakura worked tirelessly to heal the wounded, exhibiting incredible strength and resilience in the face of chaos.
She ensured that her comrades stayed in fighting shape.
And not only healing but her offence was also insane.
Shikamaru devised cunning plans to outmanoeuvre Akatsuki's attacks. His tactical prowess guided Konoha's forces in their efforts to resist the assault.
Rock Lee and Guy, This dynamic duo engaged the Animal Path, showcasing their superior taijutsu skills.
Their fierce determination and unyielding spirit proved crucial in repelling the summoned creatures.
Konohamaru, inspired by Naruto and Kirito's example, stepped up to protect the village.
With his Rasengan, he confronted the Human Path, preventing it from compromising Konoha's defences further.
The elite Anbu Black Ops worked covertly to counter the intrusions of Pain's Naraka Path and Preta Path.
They thwarted attempts to gather information and absorb chakra, preserving the village's secrets.
Neji and Sasuke faced off each other. Neji's Byakugan eyes locked onto Sasuke, and the tension in the air was palpable.
"Out of my way, Hyuga" Sasuke was wearing bandages right now.
"You are not looking very good Sasuke."
"Think about yourself" Sasuke shouted.
This injury happened because of Kirito.
Sasuke was angry.
Sasuke ignited his Sharingan and swiftly lunged at Neji, his speed and precision matching the Hyuga prodigies.
Neji deftly dodged Sasuke's initial strike and countered with a series of precise Gentle Fist strikes.
Sasuke's Sharingan allowed him to predict Neji's moves, barely evading each attack.
Sasuke unleashed his Chidori, aiming to pierce Neji's defences, but Neji's Gentle Fist disrupted the flow of chakra around Sasuke's hand.
The clash continued each blow and counter-attack revealing their exceptional skills.
At this time somewhere away jumping onto Gamabunta's back, Jiraiya urged the toad to hurry back to Konoha.
Wind and rain whipped through the skies as Gamabunta leapt across the forested landscape.
Jiraiya's heart raced with every passing second.
Not only because of Kirito's notice but even this toad gave him the notification that the village was under attack.
"Pervy Sage, What going on," Naruto asked.
He brings Naruto because right now the village needs his power.
The journey back to Konoha felt like an eternity, but Jiraiya's determination never wavered.
Kirito who was taking little rest at this time after using the gate also got the information from Gama and decided to get a reverse summon to Mounty Myoboku and then directly to Konoha as soon as possible.
"Guess like I can't go after Itachi today" Kirito just sneered.
