Chapter 25: Hinata... Why Are You Saving Naruto?
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): "Uncle Obito, who aims to be Hokage, is the coolest!"]
[Uchiha Obito: "But I..."]
[Uzumaki Kushina: "Wait a minute, what's going on?"]
[Namikaze Minato: "Obito, it can't be that you're still alive..."]
[Uchiha Setsuna: "Holy crap, did that bastard Tobirama actually predict it correctly?"]
[Uchiha Tekka: "Cough cough... Obito, you better not be alive, otherwise, uncle here will really have to go back on his word!!" (Referring to eating something unpleasant)]
[Uchiha Obito: "."]
The visuals continued.
Naruto used spiral movement,
Combined with Gamabunta's cooperation, to successfully defeat the Animal Path.
Pain looked at the scene in the distance, his brows furrowed tightly.
Come to think of it, Naruto was the first person able to push him to such a state!
However,
After Naruto defeated the 'Loli Path' (Animal Path), his Sage Mode also disappeared...
Pain seized the opportunity and rushed toward Naruto.
Helpless, Naruto had to start fleeing everywhere.
Seeing this, the three giant toads hurriedly stepped forward to buy time for Naruto to escape.
Pain easily dodged the attacks of the three toads,
And immediately after,
Continued to rush toward Naruto.
Naruto hurriedly extended his hands, struggling slightly to block every punch thrown by Pain.
Thus,
The two fought back and forth, exchanging punch for punch...
Not long after, Naruto gradually began to run out of stamina...
[Uchiha Sarada: "Oh no, Lord Seventh Hokage is in danger!"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "Enough, Sarada! Are you really my daughter? Why do you always care about Naruto!"]
[Uzumaki Boruto: "Master Sasuke... rest assured, I care about you! In my eyes, you are much stronger than my dad!"]
[Uzumaki Naruto: "Enough, you bastard son! Why do you always focus on that guy Sasuke!"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "Uh... did you two swap kids at birth?"]
[Momochi Zabuza: "Oh crap... Could it be that these two really took the wrong child home?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): "???"]
Inside a mansion,
Naruto looked at his child, father and son staring wide-eyed at each other...
"Enough, Boruto... Can you stop calling 'Sasuke this, Sasuke that' all day long? You make it sound like he's your real dad!" Naruto took a sip of tea, looking helpless.
"..." Boruto's mouth twitched slightly.
Can you blame me?
That girl Sarada brags about my dad every day; I can't possibly brag about him too, right...
...
The visuals continued.
Fukasaku summoned the Shadow Clone that was still at Mount Myoboku,
Gathering natural energy for Sage Mode.
The Shadow Clone returned to the Ninja World,
And Naruto quickly dispelled the Shadow Clone...
The moment the Shadow Clone was dispelled, a massive amount of memories swept in like a tide.
Naruto activated Sage Mode once again!
He opened his eyes and directly shattered the black rod Pain thrust at him!
The crowd watching the video was somewhat surprised seeing this scene.
Holy crap, is this kid Naruto that smart?
[Senju Hashirama: "Ah, you can store Sage Mode using this method?"]
[Hatake Kakashi: "These two have been fighting until now... how do they have so much chakra!"]
[Might Guy: "Kakashi, if it doesn't work out, come walk the path of Taijutsu with me!"]
[Hatake Kakashi: "Uh, no need..."]
The visuals continued.
Naruto activated Sage Mode and kicked Pain away.
Pain flew backward in the air, looking confusedly at Naruto in the distance.
The atmosphere instantly became tense...
Naruto threw another Rasenshuriken.
Pain was helpless and had to summon the Preta Path to absorb this strike.
At this moment,
The crowd watching the video was stunned again.
This ability to absorb ninjutsu... isn't it the same as Momoshiki's?
Helpless,
Naruto's thoughts raced, and he quickly thought of a tactic.
He first threw a red smoke bomb on the ground.
Pain looked at the red smoke in the distance, confused.
The next second, the red smoke was sliced open, and a Rasenshuriken flew out.
Just as the Preta Path was about to continue absorbing,
Unexpectedly, this shuriken was actually a Transformation Jutsu disguise!
The Preta Path was subdued instantly.
Another Rasenshuriken was thrown from the smoke in the distance. Pain glared and decisively dispersed it.
"My power has finally returned..."
At this moment,
The battle situation became increasingly tense...
Naruto landed quickly from high above, then eliminated the Naraka Path behind Pain.
Seeing himself surrounded, Pain decisively raised his hand.
"Almighty Push (Shinra Tensei)!"
BOOM!!!
A powerful repulsive force struck, blowing everyone away directly, followed by blowing away the three giant toads.
Seeing himself in a stalemate with Naruto, Pain used Universal Pull (Bansho Ten'in) to suck Fukasaku over.
Naruto revealed an opening. Pain seized the moment and decisively knocked Naruto to the ground.
[Senju Tobirama: "This Pain has a very high battle IQ. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to beat him at all..."]
[Namikaze Minato: "It's already impressive that Naruto lasted until now!"]
[Uzumaki Kushina: "What should we do next? Naruto's palms have been pierced through; my heart aches watching this!!"]
[Namikaze Minato: "Kushina, calm down... Someone should come to save Naruto next!"]
[Shimura Danzo: "Hmph! This Naruto brat is truly naive. Clearly he couldn't beat Pain, yet he still came to Konoha!"]
The visuals continued.
Pain restrained Naruto and began to talk big about his ideals with him.
Naruto's expression froze.
If what Pain said was true,
Then could his own actions all along truly still be considered justice?
The crowd watching the video couldn't help but fall into deep thought as well...
...
Pure Land Space.
"Why must they still wage war... I clearly distributed the Tailed Beasts to them."
Hashirama squatted on the ground drawing circles, a trace of grievance in his eyes.
"Big Brother, I told you back then... you should have kept all the Tailed Beasts in the village. That way, at least war could have been avoided." Tobirama looked at Hashirama, hesitating to speak further.
After speaking,
He turned his head to look at the screen high in the sky.
I have to say...
This Naruto's personality is truly similar to Big Brother's...
...
The visuals continued.
At this moment, Hinata rushed to the battlefield at high speed, coming to rescue Naruto.
Boruto watching the video was stunned.
He didn't expect his mother to be such a crybaby when she was young, yet such a person would face a powerful enemy for the sake of saving his father.
"Mom, Dad, how exactly did you two meet?" Himawari didn't think much of it and looked at Naruto curiously.
"Ah... that brings us to Uncle Obito." Naruto scratched the back of his head and chuckled lightly.
"Uncle Obito?"
Boruto looked confused.
He remembered Uncle Obito seemed to be Kakashi-sensei's best friend.
He heard Kakashi-sensei mention him...
...
The visuals continued.
To save Naruto,
Hinata was knocked to the ground by Pain several times.
The crowd watching the video couldn't help but feel heartache for Hinata.
"Why do you save him?"
Pain looked coldly at Hinata.
He couldn't understand why such a weak person dared to challenge a god.
"Because... I love Naruto-kun the most!" Hinata said slowly.
The crowd watching the video fell into silence.
[Momochi Zabuza: "Is this pure love..."]
[Senju Tobirama: "Sigh, vaguely remembering those years..."]
[Akimichi Chocho: "What a sincere love..."]
