Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

However, the time gained was enough for the other Payne members to arrive and provide support.

Pain of the Asura Path took the lead, gathering a large amount of chakra in his hands and attacking Naruto with superhuman strength.

The monstrous strength that used to easily pierce steel could not even leave a mark on Naruto's exoskeleton, and could only barely carry him away from Pain.

Seeing this, Naruto's soul returned to his body and also gathered a large amount of chakra in his fist.

He was gathering the chakra of the Seven-Tails, which made his fists resemble the antennae of a beetle, as if they possessed the strength of ten thousand pounds!

"Tentacles strike!"

Naruto suddenly swung his fist, striking Pain, the Asura Path, hard.

boom!

A sharp explosion rang in everyone's ears. At that moment, Naruto punched Pain into the ground with a "whoosh," and even the ground cracked open, extending for hundreds of meters!

Pain's body, made of steel alloy, was as fragile as paper in Naruto's eyes and was easily pierced.

This time, Naruto will not give Pain a chance to repair himself, and will extract a large amount of Six-Tails chakra from his body.

"Strong acid gas!"

A pungent, corrosive acid mist was exhaled from Naruto's mouth, instantly corroding Pain of the Asura Path to nothingness.

In just a few dozen seconds, the Six Paths of Pain became the Four Paths of Pain.

Pain's expression turned serious.

Human Path Pain might be able to recover, but his ability is the Soul Absorption Technique, which is completely ineffective against Naruto. Even if he recovers, it will be useless, and Naruto might even seize the opportunity to extract his soul.

He simply couldn't understand why Naruto was immune to the Soul Absorption Technique and even managed to steal his soul in return.

Even more absurdly, Naruto's soul left his body, so why could his body still move?

There was no time to think, because Naruto had already launched another attack!

Suddenly, Naruto raised his right hand above his head in a starting stance, instantly gathering a massive amount of chakra.

In an instant, it seemed as if all the water in the Land of Rain was responding to Naruto's call, rushing to the air above Naruto's palm and joining the rapid rotation of chakra.

"Sage Art: Water Release: Super Giant Rasenshuriken!"

Naruto instantly mobilized half of the Three-Tails' chakra within his body, pouring it all into the azure Rasengan, which emitted a dazzling light, attracting everyone's attention.

bang——

The moment the azure Rasengan left his hand, it created a terrifying, raging torrent.

The towering waves, like blue demons, crushed all the surrounding trees with their sheer force, and the raindrops they splashed hit people's faces like a violent storm.

Wherever the waves pass, trees and rocks are all swept away without discrimination.

"Let's retreat up the mountain first!" Jiraiya shouted hurriedly.

Kakashi and Kisame shared the same idea.

At first, they wanted to help Naruto, but now it seems they should be careful not to get killed by the aftershocks of Naruto's battle!

In the blink of an eye, this once lush forest was completely destroyed by the impact of the tsunami, and even the water level rose significantly.

The situation was even worse for the four Paynes who were at the center of the tsunami.

They gathered together immediately, and the hungry ghosts absorbed the water.

However, Naruto created so much water that it was enough to change the terrain, not to mention that it contained natural energy.

Soon enough, the Hungry Ghost Realm turned into a frog statue again, which was then swallowed and repaired by Yama, summoned by Pain from the Hell Realm.

Animal Path Pain then quickly used his summoning technique again, summoning a giant stone statue in the shape of a panda in front of them.

The panda statue has extremely high defense and can withstand a full-force attack from a Kage-level opponent without any problem.

However, the panda statue could only hold out for a few seconds against Naruto's attacks before it had to dispel the summoning.

Now, Pain in the Asura Path and Human Path have been destroyed by Naruto, Pain in the Preta Path has turned into a stone statue, and Pain in the Animal Path and Naraka Path are no longer capable of fighting.

The task of fighting the water flow thus fell to Pain.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A powerful repulsive force expands outward in a circular pattern, trying its best to block the water flow.

However, even this was only a drop in the ocean, because Shinra Tensei could not be sustained for long, while the floods created by Naruto were almost endless.

In the end, it was the large bird that the animal realm had summoned beforehand that carried them into the air, thus saving them from disaster.

Naruto, who was flying in the air using Wind Release: Flight Technique, looked up at Pain and grinned.

"Don't you call yourself a god? If this level of power can be called a god, then what am I, the one who has truly seized the authority of death?"

Pain was startled by these words.

What did he say? To seize the power of Death? Is such a thing really possible?

Even though I didn't believe it at all, this way it suddenly made sense.

If Naruto truly possesses the authority of the Grim Reaper, then it's no wonder that Pain's Soul Absorption Technique was ineffective against him; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was showing off his limited skills before an expert.

At this point, it's actually quite difficult for Pain to do anything to Naruto.

The function of the Hungry Ghost Path is to absorb ninjutsu, the Hell Path is for repair, and the Animal Path is for summoning spirits.

Of the remaining Pain, apart from Deva Path Pain, none of them possess much combat power.

Even Pain's proudest technique, Shinra Tensei, couldn't do much against Naruto.

Is that method absolutely necessary...?

Just as Pain was determined to eliminate Naruto, this threat, at any cost, a shadow suddenly enveloped everyone.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge patch of "dark clouds" high in the sky.

But to their utter astonishment, that vast expanse of dark clouds contained a terrifying amount of chakra.

"That's... an explosive tag?!"

As the dark cloud drew closer, everyone finally saw its true form: it was composed of countless explosive tags.

"How many explosive tags would that take...?" Kakashi stared in disbelief.

Explosive tags are quite useful as a ninja tool, because even many Jonin are basically doomed if hit by an explosive tag.

And how terrifying must the number of explosive tags be to form a large cloud? Probably hundreds of billions of them.

At the forefront of the cloud of detonating tags was Xiao Nan, who had returned.

She can transform paper into paper shuriken, explosive tags, and other ninja tools.

These 600 billion explosive tags were accumulated little by little over time, originally intended to deal with "Uchiha Madara".

But now Madara Uchiha can't even deal with Konoha without Naruto, so his threat level is far less than Naruto's. In addition, if Nagato isn't used now, something might happen to him, so she decided to use him now.

Naruto looked at the cloud of explosive tags flying towards him without showing any fear, he just raised an eyebrow.

"If Deidara were here, he would be thrilled and shout, 'Art!'"

"In that case, I will show you what true art is."

Chapter 114 I Have Three Ways to Deal with These Six Hundred Billion Explosive Tags

"Jiraiya-sensei, you guys retreat first, at least out of the Land of Rain!" Naruto shouted before taking action.

"Naruto, let's retreat together! With so many explosive tags, even a tailed beast could be blown up!" Jiraiya panicked when he saw that Naruto still wanted to fight.

"Naruto, we can gather information first and come back when we're fully prepared!" Kakashi was also a little flustered. If Naruto died, he really didn't know how he would face his teacher.

"Naruto-san, I'll help you!" Kisame simply didn't care about anything else. Since Naruto wanted to fight, he would accompany him to the end.

At that moment, Naruto created a shadow clone, used the Adamantine Sealing Technique to grab them, and retreated away.

All three present possessed Kage-level strength, yet they couldn't even handle Naruto's shadow clones and could only let him take them away.

"Naruto!" The three of them stared in disbelief.

Once they reached a safe place, their eyesight was so poor that they could barely make out the large cloud of explosive tags and a small black dot facing it.

Naruto felt relieved, thinking that the upcoming battle wouldn't affect Jiraiya and the others.

Konan was extremely vigilant, while Naruto looked completely relaxed.

Konan was about to use the explosive tags to attack Naruto when she saw him extend three fingers.

“Three ways. I have three ways to deal with your hundreds of billions of explosive tags,” Naruto said confidently.

Xiao Nan was taken aback at first, then her expression turned cold.

"How arrogant!"

Seeing that Pain had also retreated to a safe place, Konan did not hesitate any longer and immediately ordered the explosive tags to attack Naruto.

In an instant, tens of thousands of explosive tags flew towards Naruto like a tidal wave.

Naruto, however, remained calm, as if the explosive tags were not targeting him.

He held up one finger. "The first method is to use an explosion to attack an explosion."

Naruto instantly mobilized a large amount of Eight-Tails chakra and converted it into Explosion Release chakra, creating a large amount of clay.

"C1·Clay Spider!"

Hundreds of tiny clay spiders landed at various locations on the cloud of explosive tags, spaced far apart.

Just as Xiao Nan was wondering what was going on, the clay spider exploded.

Boom!

Each clay spider was like a miniature Tailed Beast Ball, creating large holes in the cloud of explosive tags. This single move consumed hundreds of millions of explosive tags.

Konan then realized that the reason Naruto had spread the clay spiders out so far was because their explosion radius was indeed that large!

At this moment, she even had to distract herself from controlling the explosive tags to avoid a chain reaction caused by Naruto's explosion, which would only lead to unnecessary internal conflict.

But soon, Naruto's attack came again.

"C2·Dragon!"
