Chapter 192

Deva Path's expression remained stoic and impassive, but his newfound confidence was evident to everyone present.

Observing this turn of events, the three Toad brothers—Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken—were struck dumb with shock, exchanging bewildered glances.

"That guy actually deflected the Rasen Shuriken!" they muttered in disbelief.

However, Naruto, standing resolute on the battlefield, was undeterred by the unexpected twist.

He was no longer the naive boy he once was.

He had evolved beyond the foolish boy he once was and was ready to face any challenge.

"It's far from over!" Naruto declared with determination.

With a series of hand signs, he unleashed a jutsu, "Toad Sage Art - Spiral Ball."

Before Naruto's words could fully escape his lips, he appeared in the sky, holding two Rasengans.

With a fierce resolve, he descended from above, a whirlwind of power, and ruthlessly slammed them into Naraka Path's back, unleashing a brutal assault.

Previously, all eyes had been focused on Naruto's clever use of smoke bombs and transformation jutsu and various tactics to thwart Preta Path.

Most still assumed that he was again gearing up to fight Deva Path.

Little did they know, Naruto had another trick up his sleeve.

He masterfully balanced his offense, targeting both Naraka Path and Deva Path.

His simultaneous, coordinated attack on Naraka Path was nothing short of brilliance, a testament to his combat IQ.

His maneuver was not just a stroke of genius; it was a work of art.

It was a strategy that left everyone awestruck.

Today, Naruto was showcasing his tactical brilliance, even if his raw power was not Kage-level.

Naruto had not only honed his raw power but also elevated his tactical acumen to that of an elite Jōnin.

So, now his total strength was now on par with Kage-level ninja.

"What!?"

Deva Path, too, was taken aback by Naruto's unyielding determination and tactical skill.

He swiftly turned his head to confront this unexpected threat, locking eyes on the hands imprinted on the back of Naraka Path, an expression of fierce resolve etched on his face.

His expression transformed into one of fierce determination, lending him an almost ferocious countenance.

At that moment, Fukasaku and Gamabunta couldn't contain their excitement, their voices filled with pride, as they offered words of encouragement to the young hero.

"Well done, Naruto!" Gamabunta exclaimed.

"Nicely done, kid!" Fukasaku added.

The change that Naruto had undergone in this short time was nothing short of miraculous.

Tsunade, Kakashi, and the others couldn't hide their joy, as they watched Naruto's incredible growth.

He had grown beyond their wildest expectations, and they took immense pride in his development.

Their hearts swelled with pride at the sight of their former student and comrade evolving into a true hero.

As for the residents of Konoha, who had once underestimated him, and regarded him as a troublemaker, they were left utterly flabbergasted.

They could hardly believe that the boy who had once been the village's scapegoat and outcast had evolved into this formidable force.

Today, he stood as a symbol of hope and inspiration, a testament to what unyielding determination and unwavering spirit could achieve.

Naruto's astonishing progress over the years was now undeniable.

They never could have imagined that Naruto possessed such incredible power, not only surpassing their expectations but also exceeding every other ninja's ability.

The gap between them was beyond staggering and couldn't be measured, it was a chasm they had never encountered before.

Deva Path's reaction was delayed, catching up only after analyzing Naruto's strategic tactics.

For the first time, he met Naruto head-on, recognizing the formidable adversary he was dealing with.

Naruto's confidence had soared after destroying Naraka Path, and he charged at Deva Path with his fists clenched in determination.

Meanwhile, another Shadow Clone also prepared itself to confront Preta Path head-on, both poised for a decisive clash.

The plan was clear, to take down every Path of Pain directly.

Regrettably, reality seldom aligns perfectly with one's ideals.

Deva Path, now having regained his strength, proved a serious threat with imposing power, his utter dominance was palpable.

"Almighty Push!" he declared resolutely.

His words sent a spherical light barrier materializing around Deva Path.

In the next moment, an overwhelming repulsive force erupted keeping him as center.

It was an irresistible power that sent Naruto and his Shadow Clones hurtling through the air.

They tumbled along the ground for more than ten meters before finally coming to a halt.
