Chapter 549: Naruto Side Story - Pure Power, Sage Mode with Yang Release Chakra Mode! (Part 2)
Longmen spoke of Konoha's wars, of the battles that had orphaned countless children of Amegakure.
Naruto remained silent. Born in a time of peace, he never imagined that the village he was supposed to protect had such a past.
"Actually, the justice you want to impose on me is the same as the justice I imposed on Konoha. We are all driven by hatred and unable to understand each other."
"The ninja world is inherently dominated by hatred, and people will never truly understand each other."
Naruto felt that Longmen was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute him.
Jiraiya-sensei spoke of a world where people understood each other, but even he didn't know how to make that world a reality.
When Longmen mentioned using the tailed beasts to create ultimate weapons to destroy countries and instill fear to achieve peace, Naruto couldn't help but argue.
Although he didn't know how to make people understand each other, he couldn't accept Longmen's idea of peace, a peace built on death, injury, and fear.
In the end, neither side could convince the other.
While Naruto and Longmen were arguing, Shima and Fukasaku tried to attack Tendou Pain, but they were entangled by Chikushodo and his summoned beast.
Hinata, despite her weaker strength, had the Byakugan, which allowed her to move without being detected, and she managed to get close to Tendou Pain.
Instead of attacking Tendou Pain directly, Hinata picked up the summoning scroll near him and threw it towards the two hermits.
She didn't know what it was for, but based on her observations, she believed it could help Naruto.
Immediately after, to prevent Tendou Pain from using ninjutsu to interfere with the scroll, Hinata rushed towards him, channeling her chakra.
"Hinata, what are you doing here? Get out of here, you're no match for him!" Naruto exclaimed anxiously.
Forget Hinata; even Sasuke wouldn't stand a chance against Tendou Pain on his own.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Ignoring the scroll, Tendou Pain used the Almighty Push on Hinata, as Naruto's chakra had already been blocked by the black rods.
Boom!!
Hinata, who had charged towards Tendou Pain, was knocked back by the powerful repulsive force and slammed into the ground, a pit forming where she landed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Damn it, why did you have to come to such a dangerous place!"
Naruto desperately tried to move his body to break free from the black rods' restraints, but to no avail.
"It seems that the two of you are quite close. Experiencing the death of someone dear to you right before your eyes might make you understand my words better."
Noticing their expressions, Longmen controlled Tendou Pain to walk towards Hinata, the black rod in his hand glowing.
He had become who he was today because he had witnessed the deaths of his loved ones twice.
The first time was when his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and the second time was when Yahiko, with whom he had no blood relation, died. Despite their lack of blood ties, they had relied on each other for so long that they had become family.
So, Longmen believed that killing Hinata in front of Naruto would help him understand more.
In her final moments, Hinata didn't cry; instead, she smiled. "Because... I love Naruto."
"In the past, all I knew was crying and giving up easily. It was your smile, Naruto, that changed me..."
Hinata had never met anyone as strong as Naruto. Despite being the same age and living a difficult life, Naruto always wore a smile on his face and extended a helping hand to those weaker than him.
"It's a shame that until the very end, I never got to go on a walk with Naruto." This was Hinata's only regret.
To her, Naruto was like the dazzling sun in the sky. Although she had wanted to get closer to him countless times, she had always retreated, burned by his fiery radiance due to her shy nature.
"I love you the most, Naruto."
Facing the incoming black rod, Hinata closed her eyes and confessed her love, a final farewell.
"It hurts!"
At that moment, Naruto truly understood what pain was.
It wasn't the physical pain of having his palms and thighs pierced, but the emotional agony of losing Kakashi-sensei, seeing Konoha in ruins, witnessing the injuries of the toads like Fukasaku, and knowing that the ninjas of Konoha were also badly wounded.
Now, the girl who had confessed her love to him was about to die, and Naruto's heart was filled with a pain he had never experienced before. His breathing surpassed its limits, breaking through the wall he had been unable to surpass during his training on Mount Myoboku.
The Nine-Tails wanted to send chakra to lure Naruto into a berserker state, but it found him unusually clear-headed and quickly stopped, lest Naruto gain the upper hand.
"Hmm?"
Just as Longmen was about to kill Hinata, he heard a tearing sound and immediately controlled Tendou Pain to retreat.
Swish!
A black rod, tinged with blood, flew past where he had been standing, and Naruto, who had been restrained by the black rods, stood up, his aura now powerful.
At this moment, Naruto had entered the Yang Release Chakra Mode and could freely convert the chakra in his body into Yang-attribute chakra, harnessing various Yang Release ninjutsu effects.
"Little Naruto, quickly cancel your Shadow Clone!"
At this moment, Fukasaku broke through the barriers of the Animal Path and its summoned beasts, grabbing the summoning scroll to summon one of Naruto's shadow clones.
Naruto performed the necessary hand seals to dispel the shadow clone, and a large amount of natural energy surged into his body, merging to form senjutsu chakra.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto had re-entered Sage Mode.
"As expected, as long as I don't use the breathing technique to absorb natural energy, the Yang Release Chakra Mode can be superimposed with Sage Mode!" Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Naruto silently thanked Mu Yue in his heart.
Next was the change from defense to offense.
Since Hinata was still on the battlefield, in order to prevent her from getting injured again, Naruto first created a shadow clone to take her away from the battle.
Ignoring Naruto's shadow clone, Nagato focused his attack on Naruto's original body.
The current aura emanating from Naruto made Nagato feel that something was amiss, and he had to finish off Naruto as soon as possible.
"Banshou Ten'in!"
Tendou Pain raised his hand, preparing to use his ability to attract Naruto towards him and then attack with the black rods, just as he had done before.
However, this time, Naruto was different.
Naruto was indeed pulled towards Tendou Pain by his ability.
But as soon as Naruto got close to Tendou Pain, his body rapidly expanded, instantly increasing in size by tenfold. The rapidly approaching giant body directly collided with and sent Nagato flying.
"Expansion Jutsu? When did Naruto learn this?" Sakura was puzzled.
Naruto had gone to train on Mount Myoboku, not with the Akimichi clan. How could he have learned the same secret technique as Choji Akimichi?
"Shinra Tensei!"
Tendou Pain was just a puppet and felt no pain. He quickly got up and intended to use Shinra Tensei to attack the enlarged Naruto.
In fact, Shinra Tensei itself dealt no damage. The harm caused by Shinra Tensei was from the repulsive force pushing away objects and the subsequent collisions with other objects. Therefore, the larger the size, the more damage Shinra Tensei inflicted.
But Naruto had witnessed firsthand the fate of the three toads, Fukasaku, Shima, and Gamabunta, so how could he not know better? He swiftly reduced his size again, only to be pushed away by the repulsive force without taking any damage.
Although the Yang Release Chakra Mode was excellent for healing, it still required chakra to restore injuries. Naruto wouldn't be foolish enough to take the hits head-on.
"Sage Art: Wind Release: Sand Dust!"
Noticing that Naruto's position after being pushed back was closer to the Animal Path, Shima leaped up and created a sandstorm to block everyone's vision.
For Naruto in Sage Mode, obstructed vision was of no concern, as he possessed extremely powerful sensory abilities.
Due to the blocked vision, Nagato was also unaware of the situation on the battlefield and could only control the Animal Path to summon its beasts.
However, the several summoned beasts were no match for Naruto in his Sage Mode, enhanced by the Yang Release Chakra Mode.
Except for the Split-faced Beast, Naruto didn't need to use any ninjutsu, as a single punch was enough to take down each gigantic beast.
As for the Split-faced Beast, the two hermits, Fukasaku and Shima, were there to interfere, so Naruto didn't need to worry.
Bang!
When the cooldown time was up, Tendou Pain forcibly used Shinra Tensei to dispel the sandstorm, but by then, the Animal Path had already been defeated by Naruto.
"It's just you left." Naruto clenched his fist and glared at Tendou Pain.
Tendou Pain looked deeply at Naruto, then turned and ran towards the direction of his original body.
Naruto was already a difficult opponent, and with the Konoha village as the battleground, there might be other Konoha ninjas who could still fight. If he stayed any longer, he might fail in his mission.
The closer he was to his original body, the stronger the chakra Tendou Pain could receive, and he could also use Chibaku Tensei to seal Naruto.
"Don't even think about running!" Naruto chased after him without hesitation.
After killing Kakashi, his beloved mentor, and destroying Konoha, his beloved village, there was no way he would let Tendou Pain get away.
"Banshou Ten'in!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Tendou Pain used his ability to attract the rubble and debris from the ruins and launched an indiscriminate attack.
In order not to let the injured Konoha ninjas suffer further, Naruto had no choice but to stop and help block the attack, causing him to fall behind despite his faster speed.
"Little Naruto, take this!"
The breathless Fukasaku threw the summoning scroll to Naruto.
He was already injured and couldn't continue with high-intensity combat, so he didn't want to become a burden to Naruto.
Naruto had learned his lesson this time. He created a shadow clone to carry the summoning scroll while he chased after Tendou Pain.
When the distance was sufficient, Nagato, without any hesitation, ignored Konan's dissuasion and forcibly used his Rinnegan to cast a powerful genjutsu on Naruto.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
A small black ball was thrown into the sky by Nagato's original body.
At this moment, Tendou Pain pressed his hands together, cooperating with his original body to cast Chibaku Tensei.
Boom, boom, boom!
The small black ball thrown by Nagato's original body exploded with a massive gravitational force, pulling up trees, cracking the ground, and causing dirt and rocks to float towards the black ball.
Under the powerful gravitational force, Naruto stumbled and was also pulled towards the black ball.
"What is that thing?" Looking at the Chibaku Tensei black ball, Naruto instinctively sensed a threat.
Just as Naruto was pondering countermeasures, he suddenly entered the consciousness space and saw the familiar golden figure.
"Big Brother Mu Yue!" Naruto happily greeted Mu Yue.
Although he didn't know why he could see Mu Yue, he was undoubtedly delighted.
"Sorry, Naruto. I left my chakra in your body without your consent." Mu Yue apologized sincerely.
Mu Yue was concerned that his intervention might bring about unfavorable changes to Naruto's world, so before Naruto left, he sealed his chakra within Naruto's body.
Minato, bewildered by the situation, chose to let it go for now.
"Dad, I mean, Minato!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, overwhelmed with emotions at seeing his father again.
Naruto's words almost short-circuited Minato's brain. How could his eldest son address him as 'big brother'? Even if the Third Hokage hadn't revealed the truth, it didn't make sense for him to be called that.
Fortunately, the paternal bond between them prevailed, and the atmosphere soon became heartwarming.
"Naruto, use your strongest Rasengan and aim it at the black ball that's absorbing the power. That's the only way to break this jutsu," said Mu Yue, seeing that their conversation had gone on long enough.
Once the black ball was shattered, the gravitational force would disappear, and the Planetary Devastation would be broken.
Of course, it sounded simple, but in reality, most ninjas couldn't do it because the black ball of the Planetary Devastation wasn't made of mud; it wasn't that easy to break.
Although he wanted to spend more time with his father and Mu Yue, Naruto didn't forget that he was still in the middle of a battle.
"Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
This time, Naruto not only infused his jutsu with senjutsu power but also blended in the Yang attribute chakra from the Yang Release Chakra Mode.
He was concerned that his regular Rasenshuriken might not be powerful enough.
Normally, Naruto wouldn't attempt such an experiment in the middle of a fight, but with the dual enhancement of the Sage Mode and the Yang Release Chakra Mode, he was exceptionally confident.
Not only did he possess superior defensive and regenerative abilities, but his control and manipulation of the Yang attribute nature transformation had also been greatly enhanced, allowing him to fearlessly attempt new techniques.
With the addition of the Yang attribute, the originally colorless Rasenshuriken took on a faint orange hue.
Following Mu Yue's instructions, Naruto aimed his most potent Rasengan at the center of the Planetary Devastation's black ball.
BOOOM!!!
A blinding explosion engulfed Naruto and Tendou Pain, illuminating the area with a dazzling white light that could be seen and heard even by Sakura and Hinata back in Konoha.
Hinata and Sakura exchanged worried glances, their hearts heavy with concern.
Sakura used her Palm Mystical Healing Technique to heal Hinata, her eyes never leaving the distant horizon.
"How is this possible? How could he break that jutsu?"
Longmen's Rinnegan eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe that his ultimate jutsu, the Planetary Devastation, had been shattered.
Longmen immediately controlled Tendou Pain to use the Almighty Push.
BAM!
Naruto, who had been charging forward, was knocked back by the powerful repulsive force.
However, Tendou Pain was just a puppet and felt no pain. It quickly got back up and intended to use the Almighty Push again to attack Naruto.
In reality, the Almighty Push itself dealt no damage. The harm caused by it was from the repulsive force pushing away objects and the subsequent collisions with other objects. Therefore, the larger the size, the more damage the Almighty Push inflicted.
But Naruto had witnessed firsthand the fate of the three toads, Fukasaku, Shima, and Gamabunta, so he swiftly reduced his size again, only to be pushed away without taking any damage.
Although the Yang Release Chakra Mode excelled at healing, it still required chakra to restore injuries. Naruto wasn't foolish enough to take the hits head-on.

The closer he was to his original body, the stronger the chakra Tendou Pain could receive, and he could also use the Planetary Devastation to seal Naruto.
"Don't even think about running!" Naruto chased after him without hesitation.
After killing Kakashi, his beloved mentor, and destroying Konoha, his beloved village, there was no way he would let Tendou Pain get away.
"Attraction!"
"Almighty Push!"
Tendou Pain used his ability to attract the rubble and debris from the ruins and launched an indiscriminate attack.
In order not to let the injured Konoha ninjas suffer further, Naruto had no choice but to stop and help block the attack, causing him to fall behind despite his faster speed.
"Little Naruto, take this!"
The breathless Fukasaku threw the summoning scroll to Naruto.
He was already injured and couldn't continue with high-intensity combat, so he didn't want to become a burden to Naruto.
Naruto had learned his lesson this time. He created a shadow clone to carry the summoning scroll while he chased after Tendou Pain.

"Planetary Devastation!"
A small black ball was thrown into the sky by Longmen's original body.
At this moment, Tendou Pain pressed his hands together, cooperating with his original body to cast the Planetary Devastation.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The small black ball thrown by Longmen's original body exploded with a massive gravitational force, pulling up trees, cracking the ground, and causing dirt and rocks to float towards the black ball.
