Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Naruto raised his hand to stop them, saying, "I can sense his emotions; he's not lying."

Kisame Hoshigaki's smile widened upon hearing this. "Mr. Naruto, thank you for your trust."

"I apologize for saying you were naive when we first met. Now it seems you're not a naive person, just someone with lofty ideals."

Naruto smiled slightly, "Because I possess the strength to match my lofty ideals."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded in agreement, then looked at Konan and said in a deep voice, "Although I no longer have Samehada, I am still skilled in Water Release."

“Mr. Naruto, let’s just take this woman as my pledge of loyalty. You don’t need to do anything.”

Konan on the other side didn't react in any particular way to Kisame's words. Her body gradually turned into paper, clearly indicating that she was also ready for battle, but she didn't dare to make any rash moves because of the large number of opponents.

However, Naruto stepped forward, placed his hand on Kisame's shoulder as Kisame was about to unleash a ninjutsu, and shook his head at him: "For some reason, I need more battles... Just think of it as me wanting to try out some new techniques."

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki hesitated for a moment, but obediently followed his instructions and retreated to Kakashi and Jiraiya's side.

"Relax, you two. Even Naruto didn't react much. Are you trying to take over?" Kisame Hoshigaki squinted at Kakashi and Jiraiya, who were ready to take action at any moment.

“Naruto’s trust in you and our wariness of you are not contradictory,” Kakashi said coldly.

"Alright, alright, instead of worrying about me, why don't you watch Naruto's heroic battle?"

Meanwhile, the battle between Naruto and Konan is about to begin.

Suddenly, paper wings appeared on Xiao Nan's back, which actually made her fly.

"Wow, it's rare to see a ninja who can fly like me." With that, Naruto rose into the air and floated in the air.

Konan remained unfazed upon seeing this. With a powerful flap of her wings, thousands upon thousands of sheets of paper flew towards Naruto like white shuriken.

Naruto immediately took a deep breath, and his cheeks puffed out.

puff--

A thick cloud of steam burst from his mouth, instantly expanding to an unimaginable size, completely engulfing the paper and Xiao Nan.

The paper, affected by the steam, was knocked to the ground, becoming wet and hot, making it difficult to fly again. Even Xiao Nan's flight altitude decreased slightly.

Naruto, having landed a successful blow, did not stop but instead launched an even more ferocious attack.

His cheeks puffed up again, and this time, before he even launched an attack, the air temperature suddenly rose significantly.

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!"

Bang!

A series of high-temperature lava fireballs spewed from his mouth, causing the surrounding trees to burst into flames the moment they appeared in the air. It should be noted that the Land of Rain experiences frequent rain and high humidity, making it extremely difficult for fire to start.

As for Xiao Nan, who was the target of the attack, she fared even worse. The paper on her body was ignited by the high temperature before it even came into contact with the fireball, and her whole body caught fire.

"Naruto, don't kill her yet!" Jiraiya shouted.

Naruto had naturally planned this all along, since they knew nothing about Pain.

Suddenly, a large amount of highly condensed azure chakra appeared on his right hand, and it was spinning at high speed, gradually turning into a giant dumpling as tall as a person.

"Water Release: Dayama Rasengan!"

The moment the azure blue Rasengan left his hand, it instantly unleashed enough water to form a lake!

A giant wave, several meters high, rolled in with overwhelming force, sweeping everything in its path and even extinguishing the fire in the forest.

The terrifying force of the water slammed into Xiao Nan, extinguishing the flames on her body. The powerful impact nearly suffocated her, let alone allow her to launch a sneak attack.

"Octopus Release: Rasengan!"

Naruto threw out a Rasengan that was completely black, as if it had been soaked in ink.

The moment it hit Xiao Nan, a large amount of ink clung to her like a leech, and after three seconds it turned into a solid seal that trapped her in place.

"Octopus Release?" Kakashi was stunned. He could understand the Boil Release and Lava Release before, but he couldn't figure out what kind of chakra nature this bloodline limit was composed of.

"This is actually a Rasengan formed using the power of the Eight-Tails' chakra. I just made up the name randomly." Naruto scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Kakashi's lips twitched: Was this naming ability inherited from his teacher?

Jiraiya didn't care about that much. Seeing Konan sealed away, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Konan, what exactly happened? I heard that the three of you died, but that's fake news, isn't it?"

Xiao Nan remained silent, seemingly still trying to find a way to break the seal.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jiraiya asked again, "That Pain with the Rinnegan, is that Nagato? How is Yahiko?"

Konan looked up at him, but still didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she said, "Jiraiya-sensei, it's all too late. If you had killed us as Orochimaru told you, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya wanted to say something more, but Naruto walked up to him.

"Someone's coming."

Jiraiya guessed it was Pain and became wary, asking, "How many are there? What level of chakra do they possess?"

"Six of them are stronger than this woman, but... their condition is a bit strange."

"Six?" Jiraiya was taken aback.

"Didn't the Akatsuki only have six members left? Kisame Hoshigaki defected, Itachi Uchiha went to fight Sasuke, and Konan is right in front of us. Could they have other members...?"

Just as Jiraiya was wondering about this, a large amount of foam suddenly appeared in front of him and Naruto.

Seeing this, Naruto did not move, but instead unleashed his chakra to keep the bubbles out.

However, the other party's goal did not seem to be to attack, but to use the foam to wash away the ink and rescue Xiao Nan.

Naruto looked closely and saw a giant red crab, as tall as three people, standing in front of them, the foam clearly coming from its spit.

What caught Naruto's attention wasn't the giant crab, but the man on its back.

This person has yellowish-brown hair tied in a long ponytail, and his face is covered with black piercings.

What's most striking is his pair of eyes with their eerie purple ripples.

Rinnegan!

Chapter 112 Payne, who calls himself a god

Upon seeing this person, Jiraiya immediately stepped forward and said, "Those eyes... Nagato, Pain, it really is you, although you have changed a lot."

"How is Yahiko?"

After confirming that Konan was safe and sound, Pain gave Jiraiya a cold look.

"Yahiko... he's dead."

Jiraiya was taken aback, his lips trembling slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened later that led you to create such an evil organization as Akatsuki?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, because of our different experiences, it is impossible for us to understand each other."

"Don't say things like that! You weren't like this before!"

"Heh." Payne suddenly lowered his head and chuckled coldly.

"What do you know about us? I am no longer the same as you. Now, having grown through suffering... we have transformed from humans into gods!"

Upon hearing such an arrogant statement, Jiraiya wanted to say something more, but Naruto stopped him.

“Jiraiya-sensei, this is not the real body, but just a puppet made from a corpse.”

Then Naruto looked at Pain and said loudly, "You call yourself a god, but you don't even have the guts to let your true form show itself?"

"Don't hide the remaining five puppets either. My perception doesn't depend on rainy days."

Despite his tactics being exposed, Pain still didn't send out the remaining five puppets, instead looking coldly at Naruto.

"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, today I will personally capture you. It is time to let the world know the power of a god!"

"Spiritual communication!"

As he moved, a thick cloud of white smoke rose, making it impossible to immediately discern what kind of summoned beast he had summoned.

"Step back, Jiraiya-sensei."

"Naruto, if you use Sage Mode and summon two Sages, I can help too..."

"Jiraiya-sensei, I am the Hokage!"

Jiraiya was taken aback, gritted his teeth, and ultimately stepped back.

But at the same time, he was also quietly accumulating natural energy, so that he would step forward to help Naruto whenever he was in danger.

Roar--

A deafening howl pierced through the thick fog and reached everyone's ears.

Two summoning beasts, each as large as Gamabunta, were summoned by Pain.

One is a huge dog with three heads; the other is a green lizard covered in spikes.

The three-headed hound attacked first, rushing straight at Naruto.

Naruto, wielding the Flying Thunder God kunai, used Wind Release to extend it to tens of meters in length, and his figure flashed.

laugh--

The three-headed dog was sliced ​​in half vertically by Naruto.

Seeing this, Payne hid inside the lizard's mouth and then suddenly disappeared.

Can it become invisible?

With a thought, Naruto expanded his senses, and the chakra of Pain and the lizard immediately appeared brightly in his mind.

"Got you!"

Just as Naruto was about to cut the lizard and Pain in half, a roar suddenly came from behind him.

Awooo—

The three-headed dog that had been cut in half was not only alive, but had turned into four dogs, which pounced on Naruto from different directions once again.

Naruto's expression turned cold upon seeing this.

"I've killed immortals and evil gods. You think you can play the immortality trick on me?"

"Rong Dun·Dayu Rasenwan!"

The yellowish-white Rasengan condensed to its maximum in an instant, slammed into the four vicious dogs, exploded, and spewed out magma comparable to the volume of a lake, completely engulfing the four vicious dogs, who quickly fell silent.
