Chapter 186

The act couldn't help but send chills down everyone's spines, concern etched across their faces.

Nevertheless, one must commend the people of the Naruto world for their extraordinary trust in one another, they were remarkable in their own right.

They were not the sort to sit back and criticize others attempting the extraordinary, nor were they inclined to interfere without reason.

They stood in stark contrast to those who habitually made audacious boasts while others undertook momentous tasks, only to undermine the efforts in the end.

Ninjas, they had learned to trust each other wholeheartedly, even before the outcome was clear. Rather than voice their frustrations, they opted to silently offer prayers in their hearts. This unwavering faith was the hallmark of their character.

It was this unwavering faith that imbued the characters in this world with their remarkable brilliance.

Deva Path possessed the Rinnegan, an eye of immense power, a power that was evidently not to be taken lightly so he remained undisturbed by the potential threat.

His confidence was unwavering, his attention solely focused on those who had challenged him, like Carnes.

Apart from Carnes, who had bested him in a direct confrontation, he paid little heed to the capabilities of others.

"You only see a single tree, but you're blind to see the entire forest..." Deva Path stated calmly.

"It's because you've never truly understood the essence of true peace, your comprehension of peace remains incomplete."

"These concepts are way beyond the grasp of someone like you, sheltered in your little bubble, who was confined within the cocoon of his own experiences."

"You think peace can be achieved through talk... That's the biggest lie you've convinced yourself of!"

"So, submit willingly!"

Deva Path spoke, his words heavy with intent.

"Your death shall pave the way for peace."

"Your sacrifice shall be your greatest gift to the world."

"Yea, the most significant contribution you can make to the world."

Deva Path's words were interrupted as Naruto's patience finally wore thin. He erupted in anger.

"I warned you, stop speaking nonsense!" Naruto bellowed furiously.

His words hung in the air, and then, with a determined resolve, he declared.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."

The very atmosphere seemed to tremble as the deadly Rasenshuriken, an embodiment of his true power, appeared in his hand.

Rasenshuriken, which was in Naruto's hand, soared forth like a comet, with an incredible force.

"He threw it out, so easily?" Toad Sage Fukasaku, exclaimed, bewildered.

Toad Sage Shima's expressions mirrored his shock. The unexpected maneuver caught them completely off guard.

Tsunade and Sakura exchanged a meaningful glance, a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

The two women had witnessed Naruto's struggles with the Wind Style Rasenshuriken in the past, the devastating side effects and injuries he suffered.

The agony Naruto had previously endured when using the Rasenshuriken, with its catastrophic side effects and crippling injuries, had stemmed from its inability to be launched in its incomplete state, or semi-finished state.

This meant when Rasenshuriken was launched properly in finished state, it also directly harmed the user arm, before being thrown to enemy.

The user invariably suffered a relentless onslaught of energy in close combat, damaging their tissues and bones.

Yet here stood Naruto, having achieved a complete mastery of this jutsu with the help of sage mode, enabling him to do what was once deemed impossible—hurl it directly at his foes, devoid of any debilitating repercussions.

Tsunade and Sakura's expressions shifted as they wore expressions of newfound determination, revealing a sense of awe and anticipation.

They were very much aware of the sheer power of Rasenshuriken, and now with Naruto perfecting it, there was newfound hope that it might turn the tide in their favor.

Perhaps they wouldn't need Carnes after all.

Sakura's initial impression of Carnes had been unfavorable, she had her reservations about trusting him, thanks to overhearing his words atop Hokage mountain.

However, as she pondered and weighed her options, her perspective inexplicably shifted, her sentiments towards Carnes underwent an unexpected shift.

Today, in her eyes, putting Carnes up against Pain seemed unnecessarily cruel, as it would have been a father fighting his son.

If Naruto could resolve this crisis single-handedly, it was undoubtedly the most favorable outcome.

Rasenshuriken hurtled towards the center of the five Pains at breakneck speed, toppling and repelling several of them with its unrelenting raw power.

As it sped forward, it rapidly expanded.

What was once a mere two-meter-wide sphere grew into a colossal vortex spanning over ten meters in the blink of an eye, releasing an overwhelming surge of energy in all directions.

That caused a pall of smoke to billow out in all directions.

Pain, caught unprepared, was swiftly engulfed. In an instant, he vanished.

Pain, taken entirely by surprise, found himself completely engulfed by the ensuing smoke, vanishing into oblivion in an instant.

The remaining Paths of Pain, however, refused to remain idle.

Animal Path sprang to its feet, trying to use one of its jutsu once more.

From the smoke, one of the black rods stuck in its body that acted as a Chakra receiver, emerged, racing directly towards Naruto.
