Chapter 105.1 : Peace!

[Naruto didn't let failure deter him; his main form swung a powerful fist aimed at the head of Asura Path Pain!]

[The path to hell might be closed, but by eliminating the Asura Path this time, there would be no chance for resurrection!]

[Unfortunately, it was too late!]

[A tremendous force, originating from the sky, sent Naruto flying instantly. The impact also dissipated the other Shadow Clone!]

[At this moment, three colossal shadows descended!]

[Three massive toads, each wielding enormous weapons, descended simultaneously, crashing down on Pain like the wrath of Tarzan!]

[However, in the next second, Pain effortlessly leaped through the gaps, avoiding the attacks, and midair, he extended his hands!]

["Shinra Tensei!"]

[BOOM!]

[The air shook violently, and the three toads were sent flying thousands of meters like giant cannonballs, finally coming to a halt after a violent collision!]

[Naruto's eyes widened in shock; the opponent's strength had surged far beyond his own in an instant!]

[Although considered low-level, it was a dominating posture among ninjas.]

Uchiha Madara, your power has become a catastrophe in his hands!

Sage of Six Paths spoke again at this crucial moment.

[Uchiha Madara turned his gaze, his demeanor icy.]

[In the previous video, Sasuke's power originated from you. You should understand his final expression. What right do you have to judge me?]

[Sage of Six Paths remained silent. Sasuke's eyes after defeating Kaguya resembled Pain's, suggesting a possible descent into paranoia.]

[Observing the Sage's silence, Madara snorted and redirected his attention to the screen.]

[Exactly when Naruto was taken aback, Pain extended his hand towards the sky!]

["Universal Pull!"]

[In the next moment, an overwhelming gravitational force took hold, causing Naruto's body to soar uncontrollably skyward!]

[He was then tightly ensnared by the outstretched arms of the Asura Path!]

[However, a turning point emerged immediately as the hell realm began absorbing Naruto's chakra, rendering him powerless!]

[Offscreen, Jiraiya grinned.]

"Not everyone can absorb such vast amounts of natural energy!"

[Sure enough, the next moment, the Asura Path transformed into a toad, and then solidified into stone.]

[Naruto broke free, and the other two Toad Sages prepared for an illusion!]

[Last time, both Pains were completely defenseless against this trick!"

[However, Deva Path's expression remains remarkably calm!]

[He extended his hand once more, and Sage Shima ascended to the sky without any resistance, with no opportunity to employ any illusions!]

[From Deva Path's hand emerged a sharp black rod, and under the influence of intense gravity, Sage Shima willingly collided with it as if committing suicide!]

[Scarlet blood splattered, Sage Fukasaku ceased to breathe, hanging on the black rod like a lifeless doll.]

[Naruto, attempting to intervene with his body, collapsed to the ground, his pupils trembling in disbelief at the scene!]

[The next moment, Deva Path employed Universal Pull again, and after Naruto lost control of his body's movements, Deva Path struck him to the ground with a single punch!]

[Then, Pain seized Naruto's arm, folded the other's palms together, and swiftly pierced them with the black rod, pinning Naruto to the ground!

This sight distressed Kushina.

In Konoha, Jiraiya sighed.

Deva Path Pain is incredibly powerful, and he didn't even use his full strength when dealing with the others.

Yet, he still exudes confidence in his ability to fight!

I am currently in a permanent Sage Mode, absorbing natural energy continuously, transforming all my ninjutsu into Sage Art.

And your body is back in top form!

Together with Tsunade's Mystical Palm Technique, the odds of winning are actually quite significant!

In Rain Shinobi Village, Nagato's eyes reflect a sense of helplessness!

This time, he must take action!

Not just because of Jiraiya, but also due to Naruto's mother, who shared ninjutsu with Minato!

He's heard rumors about the formidable resurrected Kushina!

The Third Hokage's residence may be in ruins, but the whispers of the one who dared not make a move and acted like a reclusive turtle have spread throughout the ninja world!

As the sun is obscured, Pain slowly squats down in front of Naruto, resembling a predator eyeing its prey."

[Under the influence of the black rod, Naruto, immobilized, can only shout in frustration: 

["Why would you do such a thing!"

[He fails to comprehend the other's actions of inflicting pain on others!]

["I've already told you, my goal is to fulfill the unfinished legacy of Teacher Jiraiya.

[Pain gazes down, his demeanor calm as if discussing a trivial matter."]

["It's for the sake of nurturing genuine peace and achieving justice!]

[Naruto, unable to accept this explanation, trembles and roars:]

["You turned my master, my teacher, my comrades, and my village into what it is now! How dare you speak of peace!]

[Pain doesn't refute, but simply asks: "So, what is your purpose now?"

[Naruto responds without hesitation: "Of course, I'll defeat you. I want to bring peace to this ninja world!]

["Indeed, that's a lofty dream, a pursuit of justice."
