Chapter 232

Facing the relentless assault, the Deva Path found itself forced to retreat repeatedly.

Naruto, now using the immense power of the Nine Tails, grappled with uncertainty on how to counter the threat without falling into the trap of reckless direct head-on confrontation.

Undeterred, sensing an opportunity the Deva Path swiftly used the Almighty Push once more, unleashing its formidable force.

However, this time proved different; Naruto didn't succumb to the forceful push.

Naruto, tapping into his heightened strength, stood firm against the torrent.

The Almighty Push, a powerful jutsu, its sheer might was undeniable, but it had its limitations when met with formidable resistance.

In that moment, a red arm extended from a water wall, seizing the Deva Path by the head.

With resolute determination, Naruto's multiple tails plunged into the ground, violently overpowering the Almighty Push.

The sheer audacity of this maneuver showcased Naruto's escalating fury, an emotion fueled by the intensity of battle and a deep-seated hatred.

His entire being pulsated with a volatile mix of combat instinct and unbridled animosity.

The aftermath of the clash witnessed the forceful backlash from the Almighty Push that sent the Deva Path hurtling, uncontrollably colliding with the watery terrain.

His form tumbled over the landscape, crushing stones and obliterating obstacles until crashing into a solid stone wall, now he was buried beneath a cascade of falling debris.

Emerging from the water, Naruto, driven by an overwhelming desire for vengeance, widened his mouth to commence the charging of a Tailed Beast Bomb.

The intent was clear—to complete the task at hand and obliterate the Deva Path completely.

However, a sudden twist unfolded.

From the debris, a pair of hands defiantly emerged as the Deva Path burst forth.

Deva Path, resilient against the onslaught, burst forth directly.

It became apparent that Naruto's attack had inflicted only minimal damage, insufficient to significantly alter the course of the ongoing battle.

The confrontation between these two formidable forces was far from over.

The mighty roar of the Deva Path reverberated through the air.

"Universal Pull!"

With those words, a colossal boulder atop a nearby dirt hill succumbed to the irresistible force, soaring into the air.

The sheer mass of the rock dwarfed even the most sizable houses in its path.

Gravity guided the boulder, mercilessly crashing it down upon Naruto's unsuspecting head.

The impact triggered an immediate explosion of water in all directions, a cascade that only hinted at the impending disaster.

Unleashing an uncharged Tailed Beast Bomb, Naruto's attack erupted in a blinding explosion, sending shockwaves that reverberated through the entire expanse of Konoha Village.

The entire ground trembled under the catastrophic force, causing dread to grip Tsunade and her comrades stationed on the Hokage building rooftop, as they witnessed the cataclysmic scene unfolding below.

In hushed tones, they collectively acknowledged the severity of the situation.

The potential devastation threatened to undo the hard-earned peace the village had fought so valiantly to preserve.

In the midst of the chaos, Carnes, reclining in his rocking chair, slowly raised his arms.

An invisible barrier of air materialized a protective cocoon that confined the explosion within a manageable radius.

Though numerous houses still crumbled, Carnes' intervention prevented further damage.

Konoha ninjas, once alarmed, witnessing this act of salvation, turned their heads in gratitude toward Carnes.

Yet, Carnes remained nonchalant, his demeanor belied the gravity of his actions.

He hadn't intervened to protect and to display loyalty to Konoha but to ensure Naruto's focus remained undeterred, and he won't be distracted by some off-field factors, preserving the experience of watching live action.

The completion of system tasks lingered on his mind, dissuading any absent-mindedness.

Despite his attitude, Carnes' unassuming conduct and indifferent demeanor only deepened the respect Konoha's ninjas had for him.

In their eyes, Carnes embodied an unparalleled sense of security—the ultimate guardian.

Seated in his rocking chair, he exuded an aura of security, becoming an unwitting patron saint in the eyes of those who had long fought for the village's survival.

However, amidst the relieved gazes, Sakura, standing beside Kakashi, wore a troubled expression as she furrowed her brows.

Kakashi, noticing her unease, inquired, "What's troubling you, Sakura?"

After a moment of thoughtful pause, Sakura turned her gaze towards Tsunade and voiced her concerns.

"Sensei, should I use Katsuyu to warn everyone to move farther away?

Naruto has just unleashed six tails, and as he rampages, he might no longer distinguish friend from enemy. It will be a dangerous situation..."
