Chapter 225

The intervals required for deploying this formidable jutsu were incredibly brief—not even five seconds.

Hinata found herself hurtling through the air once more, tumbling on the ground before eventually coming to a stop.

Witnessing this, Naruto, despite the agony inflicted upon him by Pain, erupted in fury and cried out.

"Hinata, are you okay?"

Even after enduring the relentless assault of Almighty Push, Hinata refused to surrender.

In this moment, she bid farewell to her former introverted and timid self, displaying unwavering determination.

She resolved never to yield easily, even when facing the Deva Path.

Despite the relentless onslaught, Hinata rose once more undeterred by Deva Path's cold gaze.

Her mind racing with myriad thoughts.

"With this approach I can't get close to Naruto at all. If I don't take action now, the situation will only deteriorate!"

Meanwhile, on the Hokage rooftop, clenched fists and tension filled the air.

The onlookers wanted to intervene and were eager to take action.

They were united in the desire to step in and stop these impending attacks, sparing Hinata from the Deva Path's relentless assault.

In this critical moment, Carnes subtly nodded in approval.

He acknowledged Hinata's courage and strength wholeheartedly.

Despite the apparent weakness of the opposing side, there was an unexpected surge of chakra, and it was far from feeble.

Abilities and strengths may vary among individuals, and the magnitude of strength may differ between genders, but courage to face an enemy knows no boundaries of gender or race.

It's akin to being aware of the presence of tigers in the mountains—facing challenges even when the odds seem insurmountable.

Facing the metaphorical Tiger Mountain, understanding one's limitations doesn't mean giving up.

No matter how diminutive someone may be, or how feeble their strength, the act of confronting a formidable adversary with courage deserves commendation. It's a universal anthem for humanity.

Regardless of a person's stature or physical strength, when armed with the audacity to fight a powerful enemy, an anthem of praise should resonate for them.

For courage is the anthem of humanity!

At certain moments, one should not judge heroes based solely on their triumphs or defeats!

Hinata, on the battlefield, endured the excruciating pain, gritting her teeth, and commenced concentrating her limited yet powerful Chakra onto her hands.

Two formidable lion heads, formed by the manipulation of Chakra, loomed large.

"It absolutely cannot end like this..."

"Even if there's only a slim chance!"

"Soft Step Double Lion Fist!"

With those words uttered, Hinata charged toward Deva Path.

This technique was an exclusive high-level physical skill taught only to the head of the Hyuga family.

With the guidance of chakra on her body, a considerable amount of Gentle Fist Chakra was gathered in both hands.

And it transformed into two fierce lion heads ready for a formidable attack.

This move significantly augmented the user's offensive capabilities and striking range.

But in Hinata's current state, it was her only viable option, it was the sole technique accessible to her.

Yet, Deva Path remained unfazed and indifferent towards.

Allowing Hinata to assault him recklessly.

Beneath his agile figure, Hinata unleashed a flurry of punches, yet Deva Path's clothes remained untouched.

The gap between them, be it in taijutsu or ninjutsu, was insurmountable.

However, the battle only lasted for ten seconds.

Deva Path's figure suddenly stopped.

He froze in place, completely motionless.

Bang! Hinata's Chakra-infused lion-headed fist connected with Deva Path's cheek, sending him reeling backward.

Witnessing this unexpected turn of events, everyone observing the battle was left utterly dumbfounded.

Is Deva Path being defeated by Hinata? What a joke!

The very idea seemed like a cruel joke to those observing the confrontation.

Could it be that their eyes were playing tricks on them!?

Kakashi, stationed on the rooftop, narrowed his eyes.

As he studied the unfolding events with keen attention.

He discerned a subtle change in Deva Path's demeanor, a sudden frustration that held grave implications for the ongoing battle.

It was a fundamental flaw that allowed Hinata to turn the tables.

This was a critical moment in the battle, and it explained why Hinata managed to fend off Deva Path so effectively.

Was there a disturbance between Deva Path and the man controlling him.

Kakashi couldn't help but wonder if something had gone awry with the puppet master behind Pain.

'Were those guys able to find the person orchestrating all this, behind the scenes?'
