Chapter 233

Tsunade absorbed the words, her gaze shifting back to Carnes, who promptly gestured dismissively.

With a wave of his hand, he reassured her.

"It's alright. Despite Naruto's overwhelming destructive power, it's still well within our control. We just need to exercise caution."

Had Carnes not been present, Tsunade would never have dared to utter such reassurance.

The unleashed might of Naruto was a formidable force, and even if they could guarantee their own safety, the protection of others was an entirely different challenge.

However, now the circumstances have changed.

The villagers and weak ninjas had all been relocated, leaving only the village's remaining mid-to-high-level ninjas concentrated on the Hokage building rooftop, standing alongside Carnes.

Tsunade held the belief that even if Naruto were to spiral into complete chaos, the sheer power disparity between him and Carnes would inevitably bring him to submission.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Deva Path emerged once more from the earth, its clothing in tatters and half of its body laid bare.

The black rods on its body and limbs were strikingly conspicuous.

Not far away, Naruto, previously pinned under a boulder, rose to his feet.

The massive rock shattered instantaneously, unleashing six tails and a copious amount of red Chakra into the air.

Deva Path swiftly turned to flee, but Naruto was relentless.

Surrounded by surging waves, he pursued Deva Path through the ravines with a determination to obliterate the figure before him.

As the chase unfolded, they reached the outskirts of the village within a dozen breaths.

The Almighty Push Carnes used had left the area devastated, it lay barren, devoid of any signs of life or greenery, it was covered in desolate soil.

Taking refuge behind rugged boulders, Deva Path gained a momentary respite as Naruto momentarily lost track.

Swiftly forming hand seals, a small black orb materialized in Deva Path's fingers.

Observing the scene, Konan, guarding Nagato's body, furrowed her brow, she couldn't help but express concern.

"Is it necessary to go this far?" she questioned.

Seeing Deva Path like this, prompted a tense response from Konan.

"Your body has..."

"Be quiet, Konan," Nagato interjected. "I need to concentrate."

Immediately thereafter, a black orb ascended into the sky, its ominous presence casting an eerie shadow over the battleground, the atmosphere quivered with intensity.

Deva Path clasped his hands together, his voice resonating with authority as he declared.

"Planetary Devastation!"

The compact black orb hovering above seemed to eclipse the sun, bathing the earth in a radiant, almost surreal sun.

With a deliberate motion, Deva Path unfurled his hands, prompting the soil and debris on the ground to levitate, mirroring the ascent of the celestial sphere in tandem with his formidable power.

Meanwhile, Naruto, now transformed into the formidable Nine Tails, charged ferociously toward Deva Path, his aura radiating hostility.

Deva Path, abandoning pleasantries, bared his metaphorical fangs, preparing for the impending clash.

Despite possessing numerous means to dispatch Naruto outright, he had opted to grant his adversary a choice after sensing the profound agony.

It appeared that Naruto, in his current state, mirrored Deva Path's own experiences.

When subjected to pain, hatred, and anger, the singular focus on obliterating the enemy became paramount.

In the face of suffering Naruto's only fixation was the annihilation of his adversary.

The concept of mutual understanding, it seemed, was but a fleeting illusion.

Deva Path extended his hand toward Naruto, and the detritus on the ground responded, hurtling toward the transformed shinobi as if drawn by an invisible force.

In the blink of an eye, the Nine Tails incarnation of Naruto coalesced into a formidable earthen sphere, emanating a burst of crimson Chakra rays.

In retaliation, Deva Path unleashed his own forces. Yet, Naruto, now a tailed beast, deftly evaded the impending onslaught, leaping onto a massive rock.

Undeterred, Deva Path refused to relinquish control, causing the boulder beneath Naruto to ascend into the sky, ensnared by the gravitational pull of the foreboding black orb overhead.

However, utilizing such a technique took a toll on Nagato's frail body.

The Deva Path let out another thunderous roar that echoed through the air once more.

The ground and mounds continued to crumble beneath their colossal clash.

Countless stones and clods ascended towards the sky in a chaotic dance.
