Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 283 The Earth Explodes into the Sky! !
Pain stood silently amidst the ruins, his black robe with red clouds billowing in the wind and waves.

Those two Rinnegan eyes were originally calm and unmoving, showing only the indifference of a god looking down on ants.

However, when his gaze met that of Hyuga Unkawa, who was suspended in the air in the distance, a crack appeared on the frozen lake in his eyes for the first time.

“Those eyes…” His brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

The instant their eyes met, an intensely concentrated, pure, and chilling killing intent transcended spatial barriers and pierced him.

Pain could sense that the opponent's killing intent was simultaneously targeting his vital points, including his throat, spine, lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart...

Each of these points is an absolute fatal flaw, capable of instantly killing a person.

That surging killing intent was not scattered and diffuse, but highly concentrated, brewing and rising, aiming to completely shred his body into countless flying pieces of flesh and blood the moment it struck!
The next moment, without any warning, Hinata Kumokawa's wings flapped suddenly.

The air behind him seemed to be compressed and then exploded by a tremendous force, with large white, misty shockwaves surging and rolling like a sea of ​​clouds.

Within that swirling, misty cloud, a bright streak of light suddenly burst forth, swift as an arrow and as fierce as a galloping wave.

boom! !

The deafening roar, seemingly capable of shattering eardrums, finally reached Pain's ears.

"Such speed." Pain's expression changed slightly.

Without a doubt, Hyuga Kumokawa's instantaneous burst of speed has already broken the sound barrier.

呲!
The ring-pommel sword in his hand tore through the air, drawing out a piercing, shrill shriek.

Faced with this overwhelming killing intent surging like a flood, Pain's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised one hand, his palm aimed at the white streak of light that was tearing through the air.

"Shinra Tensei." He uttered these four words coldly.

If Hyuga Kumokawa's surging killing intent was a raging, roaring river, then Pain at this moment was a steadfast cliff standing before that river.

The tide crashed against the cliff face, and the blade clashed violently with the invisible repulsive force!

Clang!
A clear and piercing clang of metal rang out, like a silver bottle shattering, with dazzling flashes of light and sparks flying everywhere!

Pain's gaze fell on the ring-pommel sword in Hyuga Kumokawa's hand.

The power he just mobilized was enough to shatter any known ninja tool.

However, at this moment, although the long sword was vibrating and making a continuous humming sound, its narrow and sharp blade was as clean as new, without any signs of breakage or dulling!

"Was it also obtained from that underground palace?" Pain instantly came to the answer.

Only products from that place could achieve something so extraordinary.

It will not break, deform, wear down, become dull, or rust.

It also embodies a "living soul" that can be awakened and driven, and each one has a unique special ability.

"So, what is the power of this sword?" This thought had just arisen in Pain's mind.

Hyuga Kumokawa, who had met his gaze and clashed head-on with "Shinra Tensei," was finally sent flying backward. In mid-air, he suddenly shouted, "Kakashi, Jiraiya-senpai! Plan F!"

In the distance, Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya, who had been waiting for their chance and were on edge, heard the sound and their pupils suddenly contracted, but their bodies did not hesitate at all.

Kakashi Hatake gave the order to Yahiko, and Jiraiya and Yahiko almost simultaneously raised their hands to form hand seals and slammed their palms onto the ground in front of them.

"Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!"

Rumble!
In an instant, the ground around Pain churned violently, and several tall, thick rock walls burst forth from the earth, like rising cages, instantly enveloping the two in the center!
Almost at the same moment the earthen wall rose, Hinata Kumokawa, who had been thrown back by the repulsive force, landed on a stone wall that had just risen behind him!
Bang! !

With a muffled thud, several deep cracks suddenly appeared in the center of the thick rock wall!
Using the momentum, Hyuga Kumokawa pushed off, and his figure not only did not stop, but instead, at an even faster speed than when he was flying backward, he once again transformed into a white streak that tore through the air, rushing towards Pain!
This strike was faster, more ruthless, and more ferocious than the last!
Pain reacted swiftly, activating the Rinnegan almost instantly.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

boom! !

A gust of wind swept by, and a deafening roar erupted once more, as Hyuga Kumokawa's blade struck the invisible repulsive force field once more.

However, this time, even Pain, the Deva Path, was shaken slightly by the force of the wall-pushing attack.

wrong.

The thought suddenly popped into Pain's head, but before he could adjust his focus or think it through, he didn't.

Bang! !

The surface of the other earthen wall cracked open in response.

Hyuga Kumokawa, who was flying backward, actually stomped hard on another wall, forcibly stopping his retreat and gaining acceleration again, and unleashed a third slash without stopping!

The blade flashed straight for Pain's flank. Pain didn't have time to turn around completely and could only forcefully activate the Rinnegan again!

Shinra Tianzheng!

clang! !

The blade was repelled again by the repulsive force, but the huge impact returned, pushing Pain's feet to the side and sliding half a step, carving a trench in the ground beneath his feet.

At this moment, Pain finally realized what Hyuga Kumokawa was planning to do.

This guy wanted to use the rising earth walls around him as leverage points to continuously offset the force of Shinra Tensei and launch wave after wave of continuous slashes.

However, even after realizing Hyuga Kumokawa's thoughts, Pain only found them utterly absurd.

But Hinata Kumokawa didn't give him any time to react.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The flashes of blades and the sound of wind tearing were like a raging tide, rushing towards Pain, who was trapped in the center, from all directions and at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!

Round 1, Round 2, Round 3...

The surrounding earthen walls were trampled on repeatedly, and the cracks spread and deepened rapidly, covering almost every wall!
Pain continuously used "Shinra Tensei" to block the deadly slashes coming from the blind spot, with brilliant sparks flying out like iron flowers!

Pain's defenses appeared to be impenetrable, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.

At this moment, Hinata Kumokawa's figure, due to the terrifying speed, had been turned into several blurry afterimages, and he could only barely make out the opponent's movements and trajectory.

With absolute speed and explosive power, any point on the surrounding stone wall that can be used for leverage becomes the opponent's landing point, and every point of leverage will be cracked by that explosive force!
If I make even one mistake in judgment, react even a second too slow, or if there is even the slightest gap in Shinra Tensei, the inevitable outcome will be that I will be instantly cleaved in two by that sword, my head severed from my body!
Do not!
Not only that! Boom!!

Another slash, coming down fiercely from a tricky angle, striking the field of repulsive force!
A deafening explosion, far more intense than before, erupted, followed by a clearly visible ring of air emanating from the point of impact and blasting wildly in all directions!

The power and speed of Hyuga Kumokawa's slingshot attack increased exponentially with each attack, almost without any gaps, with power and speed constantly accumulating!

Under the terrifying force of countless superimposed impacts, even Pain, who had unleashed "Shinra Tensei," was forced to stagger several steps backward!

The already cracked ground beneath his feet crumbled and collapsed, forming a clear footprint-shaped crater.

"Impossible!" Pain's expression finally changed completely. "He actually withstood Shinra Tensei?!"

While the power of "Shinra Tensei" is immense, it is not invincible.

Just like in the original story, when Naruto in his berserk state, with his six tails stuck into the ground to hold them in place, he forcefully endured Pain's "Shinra Tensei" and pressed it against Pain's face.

The "Shinra Tensei" failed to blast away Six-Tails Naruto, but Pain was blasted away by the reaction force.

At this moment, this was also the first time that Pain had seen someone who could directly shake or even suppress the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei by relying on pure power!

Bang! !

Before Pain could even fully regain his footing, an even more muffled and violent explosion suddenly erupted!

Hinata Kumokawa stomped his feet hard on the thick stone wall behind him, which was already covered with cracks!
This time, the sturdy stone wall, built by Jiraiya and Yahiko, who poured a lot of chakra into it, finally broke completely!

The moment the terrifying force beneath Hinata Kumokawa's feet erupted, the entire stone wall suddenly shattered from the middle, turning into countless flying fragments of stone powder!

At the very instant the stone wall shattered, the pair of wings behind Hinata Kumokawa flapped once more, providing a final, powerful thrust!
Using the reaction force of his stomping and the propulsion of his wings, his body transformed into a white streak of light that almost tore through space, and he charged out fiercely!

His right hand gripped the long sword at his waist, and he drew it...

呲!
A silver blade of light, cold to the extreme and condensed to the extreme, slashed out from left to right in front of him.

The blade light that was drawn out was incredibly pure, like a cold, crescent moon!

Simple, direct, and brutal; there are no fancy techniques, only extreme speed and peak power!
This time, almost the instant Pain raised his hand, attempting to unleash "Shinra Tensei" again, before he could even see anything clearly, the slash had already fallen!

All he felt was the fierce wind rushing towards him and the scorching gaze. The brute force exploded at point-blank range in front of Pain!

boom! !

Hinata Kumokawa was struck head-on by the recoil from his own strike, his figure flying backward violently!

But as he flew backward, he performed an extremely light somersault, planting the knife directly into the ground. His body gradually came to a stop, and the tip of the knife trembled slightly, emitting a faint hum.

On the other side, Pain was struck squarely by the impact of the slash, his face contorted with shock and anger, and his body was sent flying out of control!
Boom! !
He crashed into the thick earthen wall behind him, and his body smashed it to pieces, causing it to collapse with a deafening roar, sending rubble flying everywhere like raindrops!

Standing outside the stone wall, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others, who were waiting for the next signal to coordinate, stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.

They watched helplessly as Pain's figure tumbled and flew backward, crashing heavily into the distant ruins with a heavy thud and raising a cloud of dust.

"This……"

Jiraiya's understanding of Hyuga Kumokawa's power was still limited to what it was before he went to the Land of Demons.

Seeing this scene now, one can only be speechless.

"The mark on Yun Chuan's face, could it be Sage Mode?" Jiraiya murmured, looking at Hyuga Yun Chuan who had emerged from the stone wall.

Shikkulin?
Or perhaps, Ryuchi-dong?

However, in the brief silence caused by shock, something unexpected happened!

A jet-black sphere, no bigger than a fist, seemingly capable of devouring all light, silently rose into the air from the rising dust where Pain had crashed down...

"what is that?"

Almost simultaneously, everyone watching this battlefield...

Whether it was Jiraiya and Kakashi nearby, or the remaining Konoha ninjas in the distance, they all turned their surprised and uncertain gazes toward the strange black sphere in the air!

Even Yahiko had never seen Nagato from his world use this ability.

The black sphere floated silently, its surface devoid of any luster, resembling a miniature black hole, emanating a cold, deathly, and eerie aura!

The next moment, a chilling change occurred.

Kaka! Click!
The ground cracked rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Countless rocks and fragments, large and small, and even the Konoha members standing on the ground...

As if they had lost gravity, they broke free from the ground's constraints and soared into the air, beginning to converge towards the black sphere in the sky!

The smoke and dust were also pushed aside and dispersed, revealing the figure of Pain.

His black robe with red cloud patterns was torn in many places and stained with dust and dirt, making him look quite disheveled.

"Tsk, tsk."

From the shadows beside Pain, a dark figure slowly emerged and chuckled, "Pain, you look rather disheveled. Do you need my help?"

"film?!"

Upon seeing that figure, Jiraiya and Kakashi's expressions immediately changed.

Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar, and the two instinctively turned their heads to look.

Suddenly, a white figure appeared in front of Might Guy in mid-air.

That's a Hollow at the level of the 'Ten Espada'?
"Humph."

Pain also saw the scene in the distance. He glanced coldly at the 'Kage' beside him, knowing that Akatsuki's actions had been used by this guy again, and snorted coldly.

There was no panic in those eyes of reincarnation; they were even colder and more resolute.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on Hyuga Kumokawa, who was charging towards him again from afar...

"That's it."

His tone was icy as he suddenly roared, "Earth Explosion Star!!"
