"asshole!!"

The three-month scythe parried, but with just one strike, it sent Hidan flying into the ruins, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but he was not seriously injured.

Deidara, hovering in mid-air, sneered, "You think you're so strong? In this situation, you should take your scythe and try it out, see if you can get a scratch on the opponent. Hahaha!"

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a small Tailed Beast Ball shot into the sky without any warning.

"Oh!!"

Five or six exploding clay birds flew straight away, and the sound of explosions rang out in mid-air.

The next moment, the Tailed Beast Ball formed from chakra was not detonated at all, and the explosion was just Deidara's clay.

"boom!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, Deidara tumbled from it.

The nine-tailed creature below narrowed its vertical pupils slightly, and with a leap, it charged straight ahead.

"asshole!"

Deidara cursed under his breath, then clasped his hands together, and a huge flying dragon emerged from a cloud of smoke.

"Let me show you my art!"

The dragon soared into the air and headed towards the nine-tailed dragon, but before the explosion could even occur, a sharp claw slammed down.

"Ah!"

"boom……"

The explosion blasted a crater in the street below, but the Nine-Tails was already close by.

"Shh."

An iron chain wrapped around Deidara, pulling him back from mid-air.

"Don't underestimate the power of the Nine-Tails. In this form, although its body is huge, its speed and reaction are far beyond what that genin could do."

As he spoke, Sasori withdrew again. He knew very well that his puppet body could not harm the Nine-Tails, whose chakra was far too powerful.

……

"We need to save people."

save people?

Ino and Choji looked at Sasuke.

Shikamaru nodded: "The Nine-Tails' chakra just entered the ruins. It must be villagers who are still left in this street. We need to rescue them."

Choji, still crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, shook his head desperately: "No! I'm not even a genin, we can't do it!"

Sasuke glanced at him: "If you guys aren't going, then Team 7 will do the mission. They're not even genin... yet Naruto single-handedly held off those four guys."

"This is an opportunity that Naruto created for us with his life. Even Naruto's body couldn't withstand that kind of power for very long."

Sasuke then looked at Hinata and said, "Let's go."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"We've always been together since school. How can you abandon me on your first mission after becoming a genin?"

Shikamaru tapped his head as he spoke: "While I might not be able to help you much in terms of strength, this brain of mine should still be of some use."

Hearing this, Sasuke smiled and said, "Not much difference. In fact, apart from Hinata, we're probably all about the same here."

At this moment, Ino, whose legs were trembling slightly, also stood up.

His gaze toward the three men held both timidity and courage: "I...I'll go too."

Ino forced a smile: "The person I like is desperately protecting this village, and I... want to help him as well."

After instructing Dingci to hide, the four of them headed towards the ruins.

Soon, people protected by the Nine-Tails' chakra were brought out. Even if they were hit by the aftershocks of the Nine-Tails' battle, they could still be protected.

However, after rescuing just a few people and bringing them back to the ruins, a new situation arose.

Pain looked at the four people in front of him, one hand gripping Choji's neck.

"It seems you're no longer of any use."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually tossed Choji into the air, and the black iron rod pierced straight into his heart.

"puff!"

With his heart shattered, a trickle of blood escaped from Choji's lips.

With a forced turn of her head, she looked at Sasuke and the others: "I...I'm not a coward..."

"Choji!!!" x4

Amidst the exclamations, Shikamaru and Ino froze on the spot.

For Sasuke and Hinata, this was the first time their classmates had been killed right before their eyes.

"You bastard... how dare you...?"

Shikamaru's hands were clenched tightly together, as were Ino's.

At that moment, the image of Choji turning back and saying those words flashed through everyone's minds.

He just graduated, so no one will blame him.

"You unforgivable bastard!!"

Amidst the roar, a bolt of lightning streaked from behind Pain.

At the same time, lightning also appeared on Sasuke's right hand after he formed the hand seals.

The two forces interacted and attracted each other, causing the lightning clone and Sasuke's main body to increase their speed once again.

Shinra Tensei!

A repulsive force erupted instantly, and even at that speed, Sasuke was still sent flying.

"boom!!"

Sasuke, who was crushed in the rubble, spat out a mouthful of blood. That power was just too strong.

"For a genin to be able to use such a powerful lightning release ninjutsu, you brat from the Uchiha clan, you deserve to be called a genius."

As Pain spoke, he walked towards Sasuke, and a pitch-black iron rod appeared in his hand.

However, at that moment, a shadow appeared beneath his feet.

Shadow Binding Technique, successful.

Shikamaru, who had been forming hand seals, was about to smile, but his expression changed drastically the next moment.

The opponent casually raised one hand, seemingly unrestrained by Shikamaru.

All things guide the heavens!

A suction force pulled Shikamaru over, the Shadow Binding Technique instantly collapsed, and his neck was grabbed.

"A secret technique formed by the use of Yin attribute chakra, but unfortunately your power is far too weak."

Pain thrust his black iron rod straight at Pain once more.

"Om..."

With a soft sound, Pain paused for a moment.

However, in that instant, Hinata's eyes were activated once again, and her sky-blue pupils emitted a tremendous power.

For a moment, the surrounding scene became somewhat chaotic.

"boom!"

Under the powerful repulsive force, Pain was pushed away, and Shikamaru fell to the ground from his hand.

Ino, who had just forcibly used the Mind Transfer Technique, also fell down with Hinata. She couldn't control herself for even a moment, but she gave Hinata an opportunity.

"Huhuhu..."

Hinata, panting heavily, looked ahead. After the dust settled, the figure from before reappeared.

"Those eyes... are exactly the same as Uzumaki Sora's. You are a member of the Hyuga clan, but unfortunately, you haven't truly mastered this power either."

The moment the words fell, the Heavenly Dao raised its hand.

The next moment, Hinata was pulled over by him.

This scene, however, was witnessed by the Nine-Tails in the distance.

With visual sharing, Naruto directly took over the body in Nine-Tails Mode.

"Boom boom boom..."

Naruto, who was running at full speed, ignored the enemy he had just faced; at this moment, all he could see was Hinata.

With Hinata in his grasp, Pain once again turned his hand toward Naruto: Shinra Tensei!

Under the immense repulsive force, even with the power of the Nine-Tails, it was only just enough to stabilize its body for a moment.

Pain, who was holding Hinata in one hand, looked at Naruto and said, "You care a lot, don't you? Only by losing her... can you experience true pain."

Naruto stared intently at the other person: "Put Hinata down! Put her down!"

Pain shook his head slightly: "We should be considered enemies now. Eliminating an enemy with the potential of Uzumaki Sora is the best option right now... isn't it?"

"Why should I... as the enemy... listen to you?"

Naruto's eyes were bloodshot: "I will kill you! I promise I will kill you!!"

Pain looked at Naruto expressionlessly: "No. You don't have that kind of strength. Even you yourself will be killed by me in a moment."

Just as he was preparing to launch a strong attack, the words of the Nine-Tails inside him plunged Naruto's heart into despair.

"You only have ten seconds left. After ten seconds, you will faint here and be at the mercy of others."

"No! If we don't consider the consequences, it will take more than ten seconds."

“Naruto, you should know your limits. Even if you inherited Kushina’s physique, you still can’t withstand this power at this age.”

"I promised Hinata I would protect her with my life! Just like I promised you I would break the seal, I will keep my word, even if it costs me my life!"
