Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 232 Back to My Home Ground!

The sounds of footsteps, wind, and water droplets almost froze. Sakura's eyes darted around as she focused her attention on the Human Path in front of her.

At that moment, she thought, "Since stealing memories is the biggest threat, I'll send you away first!"

Sakura pulled out the Flying Thunder God kunai, aimed it directly at the Human Path's eyes, and stabbed it fiercely!
Just as the distance between Kunwu and the human realm was getting closer and closer...
She saw that in this almost frozen space-time, the eyes of the Human Realm began to follow her direction and move!
Sakura's pupils contracted, and she increased her speed again.

The Water Release: Water Clone technique she developed doesn't stop the surrounding spacetime, but rather accelerates her own speed, causing the surrounding speed to slow down by a factor of countless.

It shares similarities with The Flash.

But now, the scene is like when the Flash fights Superman, and the latter's gaze begins to ignore his speed and follow the Flash.

He completely caught up with Sakura's speed.

She was filled with astonishment and doubt: "This is the strongest eye technique?"

Sakura didn't hesitate and continued to speed up the stab towards the eyes!

"Ding!!"

Human Path pulled an iron rod from his sleeve and accurately blocked Sakura's stabbing attack with a single gesture!

Sakura's movements didn't stop. Using her momentum, she did a backflip, then flipped her hand to put the kunai into her pocket and turned it into a whip kick, kicking hard at Human Path. Human Path caught it with his elbow and then thrust his staff at Sakura's waist!

This time, Sakura did not dodge, letting the Human Path continue.

"puff!"

As the iron rod pierced her body, Sakura grabbed Human Path's right arm with her left hand, clenched her right fist, and aimed directly at his temple!
"boom!!!"

Sakura punched the Human Path, sending him flying backward. His eyes were barely open, and after rolling around, he was pinned down by the Animal Path behind him.

"puff!"

Sakura pulled the iron bar out, threw it away casually, and her wound healed immediately.

Now that the Hundred Heroes Technique has been activated, one should naturally maximize one's abilities and make full use of one's strengths.

"Om-"

Suddenly, Sakura felt her body being drawn by an unknown force, and began to uncontrollably leave the wall, flying backward.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Pain appeared behind the Animal Path, and the Animal Path then used this opportunity to communicate with the spirits.

"Psychicism!"

"Roar--"

The rhinoceros with its huge horns charged towards Sakura, intending to smash her body to pieces!

Sakura summoned Water Release: Water Whip and threw it towards the front of the rhinoceros, where it wrapped around its horns.

Then, it suddenly pulled downwards!
"Roar!!"

The rhinoceros lost its balance under the immense force, and its head inevitably tilted downwards, crashing into the wall.

It wasn't over yet. Sakura continued to summon water clones, using them to grab her own arm before hurling them towards Pain!
The skills Universal Pull and Divine Raid have a five-second cooldown.

Five...four...three...

"Psychic art!"

"Bang!!"

It's the Yatagarasu again! With a howl, it continues its charge towards Sakura!
"This is never going to end..." Sakura pulled out a scroll in the air and instantly summoned countless kunai and shuriken, which she threw towards the direction of the Yatagarasu!

"Puff puff!"

The Yatagarasu was hit, but at the same time, the five-second cooldown of the Heavenly Dao ended.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

"boom!!"

Pain, along with his summoned beast and Sakura, repelled her and injured her!

Sakura adjusted her position continuously in the air. By this time, she was starting to feel tired, so she simply fled downwards, leaving behind various explosive tags along the way.

She listened to the noise, but her pace quickened.

"We absolutely must not get into a group fight with them!"

Unlike Jiraiya in the original story, Sakura doesn't have the advantage of being able to use the Toad Sage's illusions to catch Pain off guard, or use special methods to control him.

She could only use her movement to create distance between Payne and Payne.

beep, beep...

Sakura reached the ground and began to escape towards another pipe, while simultaneously pulling out a kunai from her pocket.

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded above the pipe, which was then completely destroyed as if the ceiling had been ripped off. Shura Path leaped into the pipe and pointed his hand at Sakura.

"boom!!"

Missiles were launched at Sakura, filling the entire pipe.

If all these bombs explode, it could cause the building to collapse and bury Sakura alive.

Sakura pulled out several kunai with steel wire attached and threw them forward, embedding them in the ceiling and below the pipe, instantly creating a net of steel wires.

The missiles behind her encountered the steel wire, changed direction, and because they were close together, they eventually collided and exploded!

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

Instantly, a hurricane, flames, and thick smoke began to spread rapidly from the explosion to both ends of the pipe!
Sakura felt the intense heat emanating from behind her and her heart skipped a beat. If she were to face that heat head-on, she might be roasted into a dried-up corpse. She stopped running and clapped her hands together in the direction of the intense heat.
"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

It took a deep breath and then instantly exhaled fresh water to form a pool, which rushed towards the direction of the high-temperature air wave and collided with it!

"Zizzizi..."

The collision of water and fire generated a large amount of high-temperature water vapor, which spread to the area where Sakura was, causing her expression to become distorted.

The temperature of this steam is extremely high, and the space in the pipe is relatively enclosed, which is tantamount to throwing a person into an oven that is even hotter than a sauna and steaming them continuously.

Given enough time, it will still be steamed!

Sakura stopped releasing the water blast and ran quickly in the other direction.

The Hundred Healings Technique began to take effect, slowly healing Sakura's body, which had turned red from the intense heat. However, just as it was healed, it would immediately reappear with minor burns. This cycle repeated, making her body feel unusually "sore".

Suddenly,

"Buzz buzz!!"

Sakura heard the spiral blades added to the mechanical arm of the Shura Path activate, and a huge roar echoed continuously in the steamy pipes.

She simply unleashed her superhuman strength again, smashing it to the other side, switching from one pipe to another.

"This passive approach isn't working," Sakura muttered to herself, her chest heaving as she ran.

Fighting on Pain's home turf, he might not be more familiar with the layout of Amegakure than Pain was, so running away was not a solution.

However, to break the deadlock, we cannot confront him head-on. Even if Payne operates in small teams of two or three, he will soon attract other support, just like before.

"Buzz buzz!!"

The sound of spiraling blades was getting closer, indicating that the Asura Path was beginning to approach Sakura's location.

As the slender pipes on both sides kept receding, Sakura suddenly had a preliminary idea:

"Water, there needs to be water in the surrounding environment for me to enter my advantageous home field!"

She needs to fight Payne in a place with abundant flowing water, just like she did with Konan. Only in this way can she buy herself more time.

When it comes to water in the environment, besides rainy weather and the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, Sakura easily thinks of a key element:
Drainage system.

The village of Amegakure is densely packed with steel and pipes, partly due to its architectural style, but also because of the objective need for drainage caused by excessive rainfall.

Living in rainy weather year-round means that Rain Village has a very well-developed drainage system.

This also means that,

Amegakure also has a larger water storage capacity than other ninja villages!
By finding water storage facilities and utilizing the environmental advantages of water-rich areas in combat, Sakura can achieve twice the results with half the effort and exert greater combat power.

If you can't find a water storage facility, just run to the underground waterways, where the water content is also very high.

Just do it.

Sakura forms hand seals: "Water Clone!"

Then, her body split into two parts. Sakura gave a wry smile: "Is that enough to summon two more?"

After saying that, he took out a handful of military rations pills and stuffed them into his mouth, then sent his two water clones to scatter to other places.

"Bang!! Bang!!"

The two water clones used their superhuman strength to clear paths and chisel open different pipes, and began to search separately for the water storage in Amegakure.

"Buzz!!"

As Sakura's true form saw the Asura Path getting closer and closer, she decided to stop running and head towards it.

If it were just Shura Path chasing after him, he might not be a match for Sakura.

beep, beep...

She collided head-on with the man who had grown three heads and six arms. Without saying a word, Sakura ducked down and dodged his deadly spiral blade, then threw a punch at him from the side!
Unexpectedly, Shura Path took a step back, causing Sakura's punch to miss completely!
"boom!!"

The punch, carrying a strong wind, missed its mark. One of the mechanical arms of the Asura Path transformed into a broad, sharp blade and slashed straight down at Sakura's arm.

"boom!!"

Sakura kicked Shurado in the stomach, sending him flying more than ten meters. Then she saw that Shurado had been almost completely cut in half by this kick!
After undergoing mechanical modifications, the Asura Path's body became less resilient than that of the Deva Path or the Human Path, and it couldn't withstand a single blow from someone like Sakura who possessed superhuman strength.

But Sakura felt no joy; she knew that the Asura Path could be repaired by the Hell Path.

Unless she finds the Hell Path, but this Pain used to save her life will most likely not appear alone; he will probably be protected by a powerful figure like the Deva Path.

We should find a water storage facility as soon as possible.

beep, beep...

Sakura's main body continued its journey inside the pipe.

at the same time.

Sakura's clone.

One of the two clones drilled through the pipes and turned left and right along the narrow path, eventually arriving at a residential area.

beep, beep...

She looked around and, after confirming a general direction, began her run.

Another clone of Sakura began walking down the pipe, heading towards the underground waterway.

Little did they know, these scenes were being watched by different Paynes.

Hell Path watched Sakura running through the residential area and quickly followed.
The Hungry Ghost Path then focused on Sakura running down the pipe, sharing his vision with the other Pains in real time.

Almost at the same time, Pain locked the positions of both Sakura ...
