Chapter 78 - 78: The Unrivaled Shinra Tensei !
[In the image--]
[In the open space outside the ravaged village, the other five Paths of Pain collapsed instantly, their chakra completely drained and channeled into the Deva Path.]
[Konan frowned, her voice laced with deep concern. "Nagato, do you truly have to go this far?"
High in the sky, the Deva Path of Pain declared, his voice resonating with profound anguish:
"The pain of Yahiko will never be forgotten!"
"From this moment forward, let this world finally understand true pain!"
Then, with arms outstretched, the Deva Path unleashed his devastating, god-like technique:
"Shinra Tensei!"
BOOM!!!
In a blinding flash of overwhelming white light, the entirety of Konoha Village was instantly engulfed, rendering everyone sightless. Then, a cataclysmic explosion of unimaginable force ripped through Konoha, radiating outwards with the Deva Path at its epicenter.
Countless towering structures were instantly pulverized into dust by the sheer, terrifying shockwave of chakra, and countless ninjas and innocent villagers were buried alive in that single, horrifying, world-altering instant.
The entire Konoha Village looked as if it had been struck by a colossal meteor summoned from the heavens, leaving behind a gargantuan crater several kilometers in diameter, with thick, choking smoke and dust billowing endlessly into the sky.
This one, single, devastating attack utterly shattered all remaining defenses of the surviving Konoha shinobi, leaving them in utter despair.]
Ninja World, Konoha Village, Akatsuki Organization,
An unnerving silence descended upon the world, the vibrant pulse of life extinguished in a heartbeat.
Except for Nagato himself...
Everyone's fundamental understanding of ninja power was utterly shattered, their perceptions of strength irrevocably twisted.
The sheer scale and horror of this scene dwarfed anything they had witnessed before.
Even Uchiha Madara's terrifying summoning of a meteor through Edo Tensei paled in comparison to this absolute devastation.
Because,
While Madara's meteor was a cataclysmic event, its victims were primarily the assembled Allied Shinobi Forces on the battlefield.
But this time, Pain's ninjutsu had casually, effortlessly annihilated an entire, thriving village – a symbol of hope and resilience.
Once upon a time,
The notion that a single individual could stand against, let alone obliterate, an entire village was considered an utter impossibility, the stuff of ludicrous fantasy.
But now,
The horrifying, undeniable reality lay starkly before their very eyes.
A proud village, reduced to nothing more than a scar on the earth with a single, god-like technique.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konoha Village Plaza,
Most people were utterly paralyzed by raw, primal fear, collapsing to the ground as if their very will had been broken. Countless others stared at the apocalyptic vision of their annihilated home with vacant, traumatized expressions.
Some were so completely overcome with terror that their bodies betrayed them, lying limp and trembling on the ground, their stomachs heaving with violent retches of disbelief and horror.
At this moment,
A terrifying, chilling realization seemed to grip their hearts: Pain might truly be the prophesied Child of the Sage, a being of unimaginable power, a veritable 'God of destruction!'
"Heh... is there even a sliver of hope left for our future?"
"Uchiha Madara summons a meteor, and this monster Pain obliterates Konoha in a single move... These beings of immense power don't even consider us mere mortals!"
At this time,
Sarutobi Hiruzen, his face etched with sorrow and grim understanding, offered no empty words of encouragement.
Because in the face of such overwhelming, absolute power, words were utterly and completely meaningless.
Pain's chilling pronouncements echoed with terrifying truth:
Against such absolute power, all resistance is utterly futile.
This devastating scene chillingly and undeniably validated his nihilistic philosophy.
Kakashi murmured, his lone visible eye filled with profound despair, "Pain has attained such terrifying power... who in the future can possibly stand against such overwhelming might?"
After uttering these words,
Kakashi felt a cold, grim certainty settle deep within his soul: his end, he now knew, would likely come in the face of such overwhelming, inescapable destruction.
Might Guy, standing stoically beside him, remained uncharacteristically silent, his youthful exuberance completely extinguished.
He couldn't even begin to imagine what his future self was doing at this cataclysmic moment.
But one unwavering conviction burned fiercely within his resolute heart:
If he were on that battlefield, facing such unimaginable devastation,
He would not hesitate for a single breath. He would ignite the very essence of his youth, risking his very life, and without a moment's hesitation, unleash the forbidden power of the final Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, just as his valiant father had done before him.
Even if it guaranteed certain, agonizing death,
He would unleash every fiber of his being in a desperate, final attempt to prevent Pain's catastrophic attack!
...........
Across the Ninja World,
•Ōnoki, exclaimed, his voice filled with utter disbelief and shock, "Konoha... utterly destroyed?!"
•Fourth Raikage, his fists clenched in barely contained fury and a dawning sense of dread, gritted his teeth, "Is this truly the unfathomable full power of the Deva Path of Pain? I believe... I finally understand his overwhelming arrogance! After all... in this brutal world, absolute strength truly reigns supreme!"
•Terumi Mei, mused, a chilling mixture of awe and apprehension in her voice, "As I suspected... the one who could possibly lead a collection of such dangerous lunatics could only be an individual possessing an even greater, more terrifying madness! And undeniably... he possesses the raw power to back up such terrifying ambition!"
•Gaara, his youthful face etched with deep worry, whispered urgently, "Naruto... where are you at this critical moment? Can you possibly escape Pain's relentless, terrifying pursuit?"
•A nameless, terrified villager whimpered, their voice barely audible, "Our fragile lives... they never truly seem to be under our own control, do they?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akatsuki Organization Base,
For the first time since joining the Akatsuki, the perpetually fearless Hidan visibly recoiled, his eyes wide with a newfound, unsettling mixture of awe and terror as he stared at their seemingly god-like leader.
Deidara, his artistic pride visibly shaken, muttered in disbelief, "I always vehemently believed that the ephemeral beauty of explosions was the ultimate form of art! And even for a fleeting moment, I was captivated by the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, foolishly believing it held artistic merit! But in the end... I am forced to confront the undeniable truth... this... this 'Shinra Tensei'... this is an art form on a completely different, terrifying level!"
Kakuzu, ever the pragmatist, stated with a rare hint of genuine awe, "The leader's power... it is truly beyond comprehension, existing on a completely different plane compared to even the legendary Senju Hashirama and the monstrous Uchiha Madara!"
Kisame, a shark-like grin momentarily absent from his features, bowed his massive form slightly, a rare display of genuine deference, "Leader... please, if you have any tasks for us in the future, do not hesitate to command me! I assure you, I am the most loyal and... reliable member under your command!"
Uchiha Itachi remained shrouded in his characteristic silence, his Sharingan eyes flickering almost imperceptibly, his thoughts concealed behind an inscrutable mask.
On the other side of the hideout, the usually jovial and eccentric Tobi, was uncharacteristically subdued and contemplative.
He was deeply engrossed in thought, his single visible eye swirling with cunning calculations. 'With Nagato wielding such terrifying, god-like power... how can I possibly manipulate him effectively to resurrect the great Uchiha Madara, or finally initiate the glorious Eye of the Moon Plan?
If he proves uncooperative... how in the world will I ever manage to seize the power of the legendary Rinnegan for myself?'
Black Zetsu's shadowy form writhed subtly, a silent, insidious thought taking shape, 'It appears that only my manipulation working from the shadows, possesses the necessary cunning to truly control Nagato's immense power.'
Elsewhere, within the desolate territory of the Land of Rice,
Uzumaki Kushina, her heart pounding with a mixture of longing and trepidation, had finally managed to catch up with Jiraiya-sensei and her precious son, Naruto.
But,
A wave of overwhelming guilt and uncertainty washed over her, and she couldn't bring herself to reveal her presence to Naruto just yet.
Knowing the sheer depth of Naruto's past suffering, the countless injustices he had endured, and the immense loneliness he must have felt, she was paralyzed by the weight of her absence and the daunting task of reconciliation.
For now, all she could bring herself to do was follow Naruto silently from a distance, a spectral guardian watching over her beloved child.
She desperately hoped that, in time, as she observed him and gained a deeper understanding of the remarkable young man he had become, and perhaps... just perhaps... he might find it in his heart to forgive her for her absence.
But first, she had to speak with Jiraiya-sensei, entrusting him with her secret and imploring him not to reveal her identity to Naruto prematurely.
Taking a deep, steadying breath,
She steeled her resolve and approached them, her footsteps hesitant. Under Jiraiya's initial shock and surprise, she poured out her heart, explaining the agonizing circumstances that had kept her away and her current, delicate intentions.
After listening with his characteristic wisdom and empathy, Jiraiya nodded slowly, understanding the profound pain and complicated emotions that weighed heavily on Kushina's heart.
"Kushina," he said gently, his voice filled with compassion, "if this is the path you truly believe you must take, then I will honor your wishes and do everything within my power to assist you. But please, my dear, I implore you to reveal the truth to Naruto as soon as you possibly can. He is a young man with a vast capacity for love, but he also deeply yearns for the genuine care and connection that only a mother can truly provide."
"Jiraiya-sensei... I understand," Kushina replied, her voice thick with emotion and gratitude for his understanding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konoha Village Plaza,
The surviving villagers gradually began to emerge from the suffocating grip of immediate terror, the raw, visceral brush with absolute annihilation igniting a desperate, primal urge to find someone, anyone, to blame for their unimaginable suffering.
Suddenly,
A voice, fueled by fear and irrationality, shrieked through the stunned silence,
"Kill Naruto! He's the reason for all of this!"
"If we eliminate Naruto now, then the future Pain we just witnessed will have no reason to attack Konoha! We can prevent this horrific future! Everyone will live!"
"The source of all this destruction... it's all because of Naruto! Can't any of you see that blindingly obvious truth?!"
"The monstrous Pain on the screen has been relentlessly searching for Naruto this entire time! But that demon brat has been secretly hiding, selfishly allowing us, the innocent villagers, to pay the ultimate price for his existence!" freewёbnoνel.com
Driven by the primal instinct for self-preservation and fueled by fear-induced rage, more and more voices joined the accusatory chorus, their fear morphing into a venomous torrent of blame directed squarely at the young jinchuriki.
Gradually, a dangerous wave of counter-sentiment began to swell, and long-held prejudices and resentments against Naruto, the ostracized pariah, bubbled to the surface, twisting into hateful accusations.
"Expel the demon brat Naruto! Third Hokage-sama, you must finally take decisive action!"
"We have already sacrificed so much for that cursed child! There is absolutely no reason for us to senselessly die alongside him!"
"As long as that demon Naruto is gone, Konoha will return to its peaceful, normal state! Jiraiya-sama wouldn't have been killed! Kakashi-sensei wouldn't have been killed!
None of this unimaginable horror would have ever happened! Isn't that the undeniable truth? Isn't that what we all desperately desire?!"
Amidst the cacophony of angry voices and desperate pleas,
The unyielding screen continued its grim exposition, revealing the next agonizing frame of the unfolding tragedy.

[Sakura, her emerald eyes wide with shock and devastation, stared blankly at the utterly ruined husk of Konoha Village. Silent tears, born of unimaginable grief and a profound sense of helplessness, streamed down her delicate features once more, an unending torrent of sorrow for a future that had been brutally stolen.]
[Her voice, raw with desperation and a desperate plea, cracked as she cried out into the dusty silence,
"Naruto... please... hurry...
"Please... Naruto..."
"NARUTOOOOOOO!!!!" ]
[At that exact moment, a sudden, violent crash echoed from within the massive, dust-filled crater, followed by a billowing cloud of thick, white smoke... and from within its swirling depths, a figure began to emerge.]
