Chapter 26: This is... Hell!
[Nara Shikadai: " So that's how the Hokage's wife got together with Lord Seventh... "]
[Nara Shikamaru (Youth): " Sigh, this brings us to the story of how your mother and I enjoyed ourselves... "]
[Nara Shikadai: " Dad, so how did you meet Mom? "]
[Nara Shikamaru (Youth): " Because I forfeited the match on purpose. (Facepalm laugh) "]
[Temari (Boruto Era): " Idiot... did you really forfeit on purpose that day? "]
The visuals continued.
Pain didn't want to play with Hinata anymore.
He decisively used his power to throw Hinata high into the air.
Then, gripping a black chakra receiver, he stabbed it directly through Hinata's body!
Squelch!
A large amount of blood splattered out...
Naruto, watching this scene from a distance, felt his pupils tremble violently!
This is... hell!
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: " Holy crap... it's lit!! "]
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki: " Indeed, it's burning up! "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " Wait a minute... so many people died in the village earlier, how did they all come back to life later? "]
[Uzumaki Nagato: " Barring any accidents, I probably activated the Rinne Rebirth (Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth)... "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " What is Rinne Rebirth? "]
[Uzumaki Nagato: " One of the basic abilities of the Rinnegan. It can resurrect the dead. "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " That's amazing!!! "]
[Uchiha Sarada: " I didn't expect the Rinnegan to be even more amazing than the Sharingan... "]
The visuals continued.
THUD!
The ground trembled violently.
The crowd watching the video was instantly stunned.
A beam of blood-red light pierced through the ground, shooting straight into the high sky.
Everyone felt the killing intent permeating from the ground and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Do you hate me? Even now, can you still say that people can understand each other?!"
Pain stared at Naruto, his eyes bone-chillingly cold.
...
Boruto Era.
Sarada looked at the screen high in the sky, her face full of shock: "I didn't expect Lord Seventh to have... such a tragic experience when he was young..."
Her eyes were full of heartache.
"But even so... Lord Seventh overcame all difficulties and became the Hokage!" Wasabi Izuno whispered.
...
Hokage Office.
"Has the Nine-Tails gone berserk..." Hiruzen puffed on his pipe, his eyes complex.
He didn't expect so many changes in the future.
Minato, this old man has failed you; I didn't take good care of Naruto...
...
The visuals continued.
The fight between the two became increasingly abstract, leaving the crowd watching the video with question marks all over their faces.
Pain started doing radio calisthenics (wacky movements).
The next second, he was smashed away by several rocks.
Throughout the sequence,
Pain was hammered into the ground like a nail, leaving only his head exposed, his face beaten out of shape.
"Do you hate me... But... MY PAIN IS FAR GREATER THAN YOURS!!!!!"
Pain was furious, slamming his fist hard onto the ground.
BOOM!!!
The entire underground water table of the Hidden Leaf Village was shattered by Pain's strike.
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: " Holy crap, so much water! What a waste, it's a pity!! "]
[Genma Shiranui: " Why did the art style collapse like this... "]
[Hagane Kotetsu: " Is this how the strong fight? The animation budget just evaporated! "]
The visuals continued.
Pain ran on the water surface, faster and faster.
Behind him, multiple Nine-Tails arms chased relentlessly.
Not long after,
Pain had no choice but to stand on the water and activate Almighty Push.
However, it was useless...
The Six-Tails Naruto charged straight through the Almighty Push, grabbed Pain's face, and delivered a violent beating.
Holy crap, is this the power level of a "Pay-to-Win" character?
[Senju Tobirama: " Naruto in this state should be at Super Kage level... "]
[Kashin Koji: " The June Battle Pass character is Naruto. No fear of the Time Police; this is the future result I, Ten Directions, have seen! "]
The visuals continued.
The fight between the two became increasingly broken and chaotic.
Just as Naruto prepared to continue attacking,
The necklace on his body suddenly snapped, and several green lights rose rapidly.
Immediately after, Naruto decisively crushed the necklace he was wearing.
[Senju Tsunade: " That necklace is worth a mountain of gold! Naruto, how could you just... "]
[Kakuzu: " Holy crap, such an expensive necklace is just gone like that?! "]
Akatsuki Organization.
Kakuzu looked at the screen high in the sky, his face full of shock.
"Holy crap, this Naruto is simply a prodigal son! He crushed a mountain's worth of money!"
"Master Kakuzu, don't be angry..." Deidara walked over, trying to comfort Kakuzu.
"Mn... My money has decreased a lot recently. Did you steal it?"
"????"
Deidara looked confused.
I kindly try to comfort you, and I get suspected of being a thief?
...
The visuals continued.
Naruto charged fiercely at Pain, and Pain was instantly blasted away over several mountain peaks.
At this moment, Pain had no other options. He had to distance himself and prepare to cast Planetary Devastation (Chibaku Tensei).
Seeing this, the crowd watching the video was equally astonished.
They saw a small black sphere slowly rising into the high sky.
The ground began to collapse massively.
Rocks flew upwards irregularly, and at the same time, a strain of holy music began to play slowly.
[Senju Tobirama: " This Pain has Super Kage strength... I'm afraid even I couldn't beat him! "]
[Uchiha Izuna: " That's because you're trash! "]
[Senju Tobirama: " Then could you beat him? "]
[Uchiha Izuna: " I'd open with a Fireball Jutsu. If the opponent uses a Substitution, I pop my Ult. The Ultimate Jutsu guarantees a combo connection! "]
[Senju Tobirama: " That's total NPC gameplay... "]
[Pain: " Isn't that just 'braindead meta' (wheelchair) gameplay... "]
[Uchiha Izuna: " You call mine braindead? Isn't yours even more braindead? You just equip Super Armor (Iron Body) and chase people down to bite them... "]
[Hanzo of the Salamander: " I haven't been online for a while... is the way young people communicate this abstract now? "]
The visuals continued.
"HAA!!!"
Pain roared.
A massive meteorite nearly a thousand meters wide instantly appeared in the high sky, almost blotting out the entire sun...
The crowd watching the video,
Having previously seen Sasuke cast Chibaku Tensei with one hand, wasn't particularly shocked this time.
Seeing the Nine-Tails being sealed, everyone couldn't help but wonder: How will Naruto respond next?
...
Inside the Seal Space.
Minato quickly grabbed Naruto's hand.
He brought him to a warm place and then informed Naruto that he was his father.
Naruto saw his father, raised his hand, and punched him right in the gut.
[Namikaze Minato: " ...Why did you punch me? "]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): " Cough cough... "]
The visuals continued.
As the two talked, the crowd watching the video felt more and more heartache for Naruto.
A 16-year-old boy, spurned by people since childhood, walking step by step to where he is today... Is this the experience of the Seventh Hokage?
Heart-to-heart with his father,
Naruto poured out the grievances of his journey. Minato listened quietly, his eyes becoming increasingly complex.
After Naruto vented his anger, Minato rubbed his head.
"If it's you, you can definitely do it, because you are my son!"
"Really..."
"Really. No matter when, as parents, we should believe in our children!" Minato smiled slightly.
At this moment,
Carrying everyone's hope...
Naruto's eyes were determined.
Standing on top of the Chibaku Tensei high in the sky, staring tightly at Pain below.
This time, I absolutely will not lose again!
[Senju Tobirama: " Actually, Nagato's idea isn't wrong either... the two just have different standpoints! "]
[Uzumaki Naruto: " I still can't quite understand... "]
[Senju Tobirama: " The current you is still too young. It's normal not to understand! "]
...
(After finishing Naruto's segment, we will continue inventorying Boruto...)
(Friendly reminder: Boruto becomes a Rogue Ninja! The plot is high-energy all the way!)
