Chapter 902: Precision Bombing!
Chapter 902: Precision Bombing!
"Five Finger Missiles!"
Shura Path Pain launched a barrage of missiles, creating an overwhelming display of destructive power akin to a torrential downpour.
Compared to the original storyline, Shura Path Pain's performance at this moment was undoubtedly much stronger.
And rightly so.
After all, he was one of the Six Paths of Pain, and the original depiction did not do justice to this title.
"Spiral Bomb!"
Numerous clones of Naruto, each wielding a Spiral Bomb, burst forth from the explosions.
It must be said that the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique was a double-edged sword for anyone, but in Naruto's hands, it became a divine skill.
The sheer number of clones was staggering, often ranging from several hundred to a thousand.
Even if one punch could crush them, these clones contained substantial chakra, making them capable of forming chakra balls, posing a significant threat.
Naruto's clones could be described in one word:
High attack, low defense!
Therefore, they had to be dealt with; otherwise, being hit by a Spiral Bomb was no laughing matter.
Moreover, these clones now had an additional transformation.
Tailed Beast Robe!
The red Nine-Tails Chakra enveloped the clones, enhancing their power.
"Summoning Technique!"
Chikushodo Pain summoned a massive chameleon lizard.
But in the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by the clones.
Tendou Pain flew forward, his right hand stretched out.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A terrifying repulsive force spread out.
Boom! Boom!
On the ground, Naruto's clones transformed into white mist and dissipated.
The clones, with their weak defense, couldn't withstand the all-encompassing, dead-angle attack of Shinra Tensei.
But... this might be exactly what the enemy was expecting.
Whoosh!
A Wind Style: Spiral Hand Blade flew towards them, with a Spiral Bomb at its center and Wind Blades surrounding it.
"Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken!"
Naruto finally managed to develop this S-rank Wind Style technique.
With Asuma's guidance, he could use it without entering Sage Mode, minimizing self-injury.
Minor injuries, of course, were unavoidable.
After all, his chakra manipulation skills had not yet reached the level of perfection.
If he had the manipulation skills of Izumi, Hyuga Tsukuyuki, or others, this S-rank Wind Style technique could be used without causing any harm.
As for why he chose to use it now, it was because Tendou Pain's five-second interval between Shinra Tensei attacks had been exposed by Konoha, so they seized this opportunity to strike.
Gakidou Pain stepped forward, intending to shield Tendou Pain from the attack.
Here, one must criticize Tendou Pain.
Ground combat would have been much more convenient, making it easier for the other Paths of Pain to provide support or assistance. However, Tendou Pain insisted on maintaining his cool image by hovering in mid-air, making it somewhat troublesome for others to help him.
"Don't even think about it!"
A giant meatball flew in from the side, crashing into Gakidou Pain.
Meat Tank!
It was Akado Dinzou, the last surviving member of the previous generation's Ino-Shika-Chou trio.
When Naruto threw the Spiral Shuriken, he sensed the intention and promptly used the Overamplification Technique, followed by the Meat Tank attack.
In his normal body, the Meat Tank's power wasn't overly exaggerated.
But this was no ordinary situation!
Under the Overamplification Technique, the meat tank formed by a ten-meter giant's impact could shatter even castle walls.
Boom!
Gakidou Pain was knocked away and shattered.
If it were a ninjutsu attack, he would have absorbed it directly.
But the Meat Tank was purely physical impact, not a ninjutsu, so Gakidou Pain couldn't absorb it.
It can be said that with the intelligence gathered, they could effectively counter Pain.
Without Itachi's intelligence, if they had tried to kill Pain on their first encounter, one could only imagine how Konoha would have fared.
Without Gakidou Pain as a shield, the Spiral Shuriken successfully hit Tendou Pain.
Whoosh!!
Countless wind blades capable of slicing through anything engulfed Tendou Pain.
Intelligence!
This once again proved the importance of information.
If they hadn't known about the five-second interval of Shinra Tensei, they wouldn't have been able to hit Tendou Pain like this.
"Excellent!"
"Naruto, well done!"
"Kill them!"
...
The surrounding Konoha ninjas cheered.
Their hatred for Akatsuki, the organization responsible for the village's dire state, was palpable.
Seeing Naruto's technique hit Tendou Pain, their emotions were understandable.
After the Spiral Shuriken disappeared, only a shallow crater several meters wide remained, with a badly damaged Tendou Pain's body inside.
Even the S-rank Wind Style that could tear rocks to dust couldn't shred the Heavenly Path Pain, all because of Chakra.
If it were ordinary materials, even steel wouldn't be able to withstand it and leave intact remains.
Stomp!
The remaining four Pains gathered in the pit, and the shattered Animal Path's corpse was brought along.
"What are they doing?"
Naruto muttered to himself, slightly perplexed.
His current most important task was to protect Jiraiya as he entered Sage Mode, so he didn't take the opportunity to pursue them.
He had grown significantly since then.
After witnessing so many familiar faces die before his eyes, it was natural for him to change.
In this regard, Tang Ping could be considered a great benefactor.
In the original story, Naruto's personality only matured significantly in the final battle.
Now, after receiving a lot of 'beatings', his personality changed immediately.
In the pit!
Hell Realm Pain performed the hand seals.
"Summoning: Yama King!"
Yama King!
A special summoning.
Crack!
The skull opened its mouth like a gate, and several Pains threw the shattered corpses of two Pains into it.
"Stop them!"
Asuma shouted and rushed forward.
Although he wasn't sure what they were doing, he knew he couldn't let the enemies act freely.
Following his command, the other Konoha ninjas also rushed forward, preparing to defeat the remaining four Pains in one go.
However, it seemed they had forgotten about one person.
"Paper Dance Technique!"
A female voice sounded, and then countless paper cranes descended from above.
Konan!
After covering the air combat and attacking the airship, she first dealt with the air combat ninjas and then used her secret technique to prepare explosive tags.
Although her Paper Manipulation explosive tags could only be used by herself, the advantage was that she could 'batch' produce them.
In the original story, Konan could create 'several billion' explosive tags, forming an entire sea of them.
But with several thousand tags, given the time and preparation, it wasn't impossible to create them.
Now, it was time for these freshly printed explosive tags to be unleashed.
"Damn!"
Asuma watched as the paper cranes flew towards him, transforming into explosive tags, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Endless explosions and flames engulfed everything.
The power of the explosive tags was equivalent to high-level Fire Style for each tag.
With dozens of tags exploding simultaneously, they directly blocked the Konoha ninjas' path of advancement.
Of course, with Lightning Style Chakra Mode, Power Armor, Susanoo, and other defensive means, it wasn't impossible to withstand the explosions.
Among the Konoha ninjas, only Akado Dinzou, who used the Meat Tank, was able to charge through the explosions.
Apart from him, Asuma also couldn't break through.
Because Konan was focusing on him, sending a large number of explosive paper cranes his way.
Due to her relationship with Tang Ping, she had absorbed many of his suggestions and guidance, specializing in paper cranes and explosive tags. Combined with her chakra's natural power and other medicinal enhancements, her combat strength far surpassed that of the original story.
Air Combat + Bombing Route!
This was the strategy formulated by Tang Ping, and now, as it was put into action, it showcased terrifying power.
In other words, creating explosive tags required time and chakra, or else Konan could have created six billion explosive tags and flattened everything.
Several thousand explosive tags!
That's quite a number.
At least in the previous Ninja World Wars, this number was already enough to determine the outcome of a great battle.
But since the Kikyo Mountain War, where Tang Ping used explosive tags to 'lift the floor', demonstrating the correct way to use explosive tags, the demand for them has been increasing.
Now, using several thousand or even tens of thousands of tags in a single battle is considered basic, and using tens of thousands in a grand battle is not excessive.
Because the versatility of these explosive tags is too strong.
And Konan's explosive tags are powerful because they are controlled with Paper Manipulation, allowing for 'precision bombing' effects.
When the explosive tags stopped, and the flames and smoke dissipated, it also revealed Konan's fearsome power.
