Naruto vs Naruto

"If you can transcend the limits of the ninja world, then you will see." Naruto's face was gentle as he spoke softly.

His voice, however, pierced through the entire battlefield.

"What are they saying? Why can't I understand?"

"What teacher? Why are they so respectful of Naruto?" There was unrest among the Ninja Allied Forces.

Even Jiraiya and the other Kage-level ninja were shocked. The version of Jiraiya from the alternate world felt as if he had been betrayed.

So, he had been laboriously teaching Naruto, but he had joined...

"It can't be true, this must be a lie." The alternate-world Jiraiya was in agony, clutching his head and groaning.

The alternate Jiraiya looked at himself with a bit of sympathy. He could only say that such things would get better after a while. After all, it wasn't the first time.

"Impossible, why would you do this?" Tsunade angrily shouted, then turned to the dejected Jiraiya, questioning, "Jiraiya, didn't you promise me that Naruto inherited the Will of Fire? Why does he know Naruto? And even calls him a teacher?!"

"Why would this happen?" The Ninja Allied Forces were in despair. They had thought they had the most reliable allies, but the chakra emanating from Naruto and Sasuke was far stronger than before.

However, who would have thought that this was a massive pitfall?

"Is this really necessary, Naruto, Sasuke?" Kakashi, with his face covered, trembling lips, shouted desperately.

Naruto and Sasuke glanced at Kakashi and the suffering Sakura, saying indifferently, "The Naruto (Sasuke) you know doesn't exist."

At this point, the Ninja Allied Forces had completely lost hope. The only two individuals who could contend with Naruto were actually traitors, and they even considered Naruto their teacher.

At least, they still had the chance to fight against Naruto.

A great battle ensued.

The Shinigami from the Seireitei engaged their respective opponents.

Members of the Akatsuki confronted each other directly.

Nagato looked at Nagato in confusion and asked, "Why did you join the Seireitei? We should have the same ideals."

Nagato gazed at Nagato quietly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Now, he had completely given up on Nagato, allowing those pitiful mortal bodies to return to dust. Yahiko's soul would also eventually undergo Shinigami transformation, remaining with them forever. It was because he had embraced a new life filled with happiness that he could better understand his past suffering and sympathize with his alternate-world self.

"I never forgot my ideals. From the beginning to the end, I haven't changed. I want to change this world, I want to bring peace." Nagato smiled warmly.

His appearance now, bathed in sunlight, surprised both Nagato and Konan.

Nagato had changed so much.

"Since you haven't forgotten your ideals, why did you join the Seireitei?" Nagato asked.

"Because his ideals align with mine." Nagato smiled.

"People are ignorant and foolish, skilled at self-deception. When the Seireitei demonstrates its power, faced with such an unknown, people will still choose to escape reality. Everyone yearns for peace but fears change."

"Only by experiencing pain, understanding pain, and accepting change under duress can true change be embraced."

"That's what the Seireitei is doing."

"Naruto convinced me with the well-established rules and immense power of the Seireitei. He even helped me overcome my pain, allowing me to experience a rebirth."

At this moment, Konan and Nagato noticed that Nagato didn't have the Rinnegan.

"Your eyes..."

"Those Rinnegan eyes don't belong to you; you were merely a tool for Uchiha Madara." Nagato's gaze was profound, but his words shocked Konan and Nagato.

"No matter if it's the founding of the Akatsuki or Yahiko's death, he planned it all." Nagato sighed. "You may not believe my words, but think about it carefully. If those were truly your Rinnegan eyes, why would your body be on the verge of collapse when using the Rinnegan?"

Nagato's words plunged Nagato into doubt.

Then, he saw Nagato extend a sincere hand.

"Join us, fight for peace together, and seek the truth behind these events."

"Tsk, tsk, it seems like there are conspiracies everywhere." Deidara from the alternate world couldn't help but comment. "So, what are we? How about we join the Seireitei together?" He provocatively looked at the original Deidara. "My Explosive Art is absolutely incomparable to your knockoff."

His beloved art was being ridiculed, and Deidara couldn't sit still. He rolled up his sleeves. "Let's fight! I'll show you the beauty of my art!"

"Really troublesome." Sasori covered his face with his hand.

"I refuse your proposal." At this moment, Nagato coldly stated.

"Let me see what changes you've undergone." He raised his head, and the Rinnegan slowly swirled.

"Very well, as you wish." Nagato smiled, and then the remaining Akatsuki members found their opponents.

Nagato slowly drew his Zanpakuto. "Let me show you the power of my rebirth. You will experience true pain."

"The Laws of Heavenly Pain, the Essence of Suffering." With those words, his Zanpakuto disappeared from view, and a rolling black mist engulfed the entire battlefield.

Nagato's voice sounded deep and distant.

"Within this space, your sense of pain will be intensified at least tenfold, and every ten minutes, one of your abilities will be sealed."

With that, a figure slowly emerged from the ground.

"Yahiko?!" Nagato's eyes sharpened, murmuring.

"Long time no see, Nagato." Yahiko smiled.

"In this space, your opponent will be the person you care about the most." Nagato said calmly.

"So, feel the pain."

"Let's begin, Nagato. Let me see if you're a qualified leader of the Akatsuki." Yahiko smiled as he drew closer.

"Woong." Six Paths of Pain immediately blocked in front of Nagato Uzumaki.

"Shinra Tensei."

"Finger Bullet."

A powerful shockwave erupted, immediately sending Six Paths of Pain flying, and Yahiko's attack accurately headed towards Nagato Uzumaki.

"Shinra Tensei." Nagato Uzumaki's eyes narrowed, and the shockwave caused by Shinra Tensei spread outward.

"Boom." Two Shinra Tensei collided, and to Nagato Uzumaki's astonishment, the Shinra Tensei he had used was crushed with a clear disadvantage.

He quickly retreated, trying to dodge, but his body was still covered by Finger Bullets.

With deafening continuous explosions, the entire area kept shaking, and billowing black smoke rose.

"Tsk tsk tsk, their explosions are not bad either," the two Deidara, who were still in battle, commented as they glanced at the direction of the explosion.

"Nagato Uzumaki." Konan from another world looked worriedly in the direction of the explosion.

"Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself," Konan sneered, slashing with her Zanpakuto.

Now, in the ranks of the Akatsuki, Konan, Kakuzu, and Nagato had all successfully become Shinigami. If other members performed well in the war, they might also have a chance to become Shinigami.

After the black smoke cleared, Nagato Uzumaki stumbled out, with some injuries on his body.

"How is this possible? You clearly don't have the Rinnegan, why can you use Shinra Tensei?!" Nagato Uzumaki exclaimed.

For him, the power of the Rinnegan was unquestionable, and now, another puppet he had summoned could use the power of the Rinnegan. Moreover, the power of Shinra Tensei even surpassed his own.

To him, this was absolutely unacceptable.

"God, don't be offended!" His eyes were filled with boiling anger.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Another shockwave erupted.

"It's useless, Nagato Uzumaki. If this is your power, then your growth has disappointed me." Yahiko sneered, and with a gesture, he also unleashed Shinra Tensei, easily countering Nagato Uzumaki's Shinra Tensei.

"Another me, look at your current weak body. Is this what you wanted?" Nagato Uzumaki, standing high above, looked down, saying softly, "You're not a god at all!"

Nagato Uzumaki looked at Nagato with anger, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.

What had he done in this world? Why were all his injuries healed, and even his eyes were gone, yet he possessed the same abilities as the Rinnegan? How did he obtain that sword?

For Nagato Uzumaki, today was a day when his world collapsed.

As various factions took their positions, the protagonists from another world, Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto, also slowly rose into the sky, parallel to Naruto.

They had thought that after reaching the level of the Six Paths, their strength would catch up to Naruto, but they hadn't expected to feel an even greater disparity.

Naruto just stood there, giving them a spiritual pressure that suppressed their souls.

They exchanged glances, and their chakra erupted.

Black orbs symbolizing the power of the Six Paths appeared around their bodies.

After the collapse of the Hidden Leaf's plan in the alternate world, they had realized their shortcomings deeply and were shocked by Naruto's abilities.

Despite not having a significant age difference with him, Naruto was far more powerful than them.

Even with the gifts from the Sage of the Six Paths, they knew they were not a match for Naruto.

Naruto gazed at them and said, "When I was influenced by the soul before, I foolishly saw becoming the Hokage as my goal. That was so shallow. Thanks to you, I've glimpsed a new world, and I'll repay you with my changes."

"No need to say more. Don't hold me back, Ruto," Sasuke Uchiha said coldly.

"Since you've both received the power to be reborn, let me see what you're capable of," Naruto nodded slightly and didn't even use his Zanpakuto, keeping his hands by his side.

For him, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha didn't pose a need for him to go all out.

In fact, they were just an unexpected source of amusement for him.

He wanted to see if, under his influence, his counterparts from the alternate world, Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto, could bring about a different kind of surprise.

"Here it comes!" Uzumaki Naruto moved first, turning into a streak of light and instantly closing in on Naruto, delivering a punch.

This punch shook the heavens and the earth, with resounding thunder.

"Good power and speed. From a ninja's perspective, you've almost touched that realm," however, Naruto remained calm, extending his hand and accurately catching Uzumaki Naruto's right fist.

"But after all, this isn't your power, so you haven't fully adapted yet," Naruto easily threw Uzumaki Naruto away, extending his right palm.

"Bakudo #33, Sogeki." Countless white explosions burst forth from Naruto's hand and rained down from the sky, directly enveloping the area where Uzumaki Naruto was.

With the booming explosion, the entire area shook continuously, and the shockwaves it produced instantly turned unfortunate ninja in the vicinity into vapor.

"Chidori." At the moment of Naruto's attack, Sasuke Uchiha appeared behind Naruto like a ghost, and Chidori emitted a piercing cry.

"Since you're approaching the level of the Six Paths, you should abandon these useless ninja techniques," Naruto said calmly, and the shockwave from his body instantly sent Sasuke Uchiha flying dozens of meters away.

Before Sasuke Uchiha could react, an irresistible force pushed him further, and Naruto stepped on Sasuke Uchiha, causing him to sink deeper into the ground.

"Boom!" With a resounding sound, the ground centered on Sasuke Uchiha collapsed, and a spiderweb-like crack spread.

Naruto stood high above, pressing his right foot against Sasuke Uchiha's head, saying expressionlessly, "Your weakness even makes me feel sorry for you."

"Damn it! Rasengan!" Uzumaki Naruto's figure appeared behind Naruto, pressing a Rasengan against Naruto's back.

"Insignificant trick." Naruto twisted his body, lightly stepping on Sasuke Uchiha's right foot while dodging the Rasengan, and at the moment when the Rasengan brushed past him, he seized Uzumaki Naruto's wrist.

With a slight force from his right foot, Naruto pushed Sasuke Uchiha deeper into the ground.

"Although you have some strength, you haven't fully mastered it yet," Naruto said.

"Boom." Both of them were directly caught and thrown away, smashing countless rocks before stopping.

They covered their chests, coughing violently, and through the billowing sand and dust, they saw Naruto slowly approaching.

So indifferent yet filled with pressure.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual pressure exploded, causing the sky to darken, and the air to distort.

Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto felt as if a mountain were pressing down on their hearts, making even breathing extremely difficult.

"This is the power that transcends the ninja world?" Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto exchanged shocked glances, their throats dry.

This was the result of long-term training and innate talent.

Even without using the Zanpakuto, Naruto's Kido and Hakuda were solidly at the level of the Six Paths.

The Zanpakuto's abilities were undoubtedly useful, but most importantly, Naruto did not rely on the Zanpakuto.

"But because of this, this battle is so meaningful." Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto glanced at each other, both seeing determination and resolve in each other's eyes.

"This is the pinnacle power of the ninja era challenging the new world."

"It will also be our final battle, a challenge to the gods!"
