Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 406 Konoha Crisis 15

Suddenly, countless dark red chakra erupted like a volcanic eruption, forming a huge chakra sphere that completely enveloped Naruto Uzumaki.

Seeing this, Pain's expression changed slightly, and he said in a heavy tone, "Is this the power of the Nine-Tails? It seems that Naruto's anger resonated with and echoed it!"

At this moment, Naruto had completely lost his human form, transforming into a ball of dark red chakra, like a demon burning with flames. The black rods that had tightly bound him began to shatter, emitting crisp sounds. As the black rods broke apart, Naruto's body gradually regained its freedom and could move again.

Naruto, standing up again, underwent an astonishing transformation. His skin turned dark red, his muscles clearly defined, as if brimming with boundless power. His eyes also turned scarlet, revealing a cold and majestic aura.

Naruto's chakra began to surge and flow, a powerful aura spreading outwards. As the chakra condensed, four tails made of chakra gradually appeared behind him, waving like flames. These tails shimmered with a dark red light, emitting a chilling aura.

At this moment, Naruto had completely lost his mind and was controlled by the power of the Nine-Tails. His aura became extremely chaotic, filled with a violent killing intent, and his eyes were filled with anger and hatred, as if he wanted to burn the entire world to ashes.

The ground was utterly torn apart by the violent chakra, accompanied by deafening roars. The entire earth trembled, as if it were being ripped apart. Instantly, countless fragments of rock rained down, filling the air and forming a sky-covering rain of stones. At the same time, a massive, dark red arm made of chakra suddenly emerged from the ground. This arm was incredibly thick, like a pillar supporting the sky. It gripped the huge fragments of rock before it and then hurled them towards Pain.

The massive boulders hurtled through the air like cannonballs, tearing through the air in their wake with white gashes. The sheer force of the impact was awe-inspiring, as if capable of destroying everything in their path.

Facing Naruto's ferocious attack after transforming into the Nine-Tails, Pain showed no sign of backing down. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he cared nothing for the danger before him. He didn't even try to dodge the rapidly approaching boulder, choosing instead to take it head-on.

The boulder approached at an astonishing speed, but just as it reached Pain, an invisible force erupted from him, shattering the boulder into countless tiny fragments. This force was so powerful that the boulder could not harm him at all.

However, Pain had no time to catch his breath. Having just shattered those hurtling boulders, he immediately sensed another, even larger and faster boulder hurtling towards him. This boulder, carrying immense force, slammed into Pain like a cannonball.

Despite Pain's attempt to use his abilities to defend himself, the boulder's power exceeded his expectations. With a deafening roar, the boulder collided head-on with Pain, sending him flying. His body tumbled through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

As Pain rose to his feet, Naruto, in his Nine-Tails form, appeared beside him like a streak of red lightning. Naruto, enveloped in dark red chakra, swung his fist like a burning flame, imbued with boundless power and rage, slamming it down on Pain's face. The blow was devastating; Pain was sent flying again, his body tumbling through the air. Before he could regain his footing, a giant hand formed from dark red chakra grabbed a boulder and slammed it down on Pain's head like a small mountain. The force of the hand shattered the boulder into countless fragments, scattering them across the sky. Naruto's attack didn't stop; he continued his relentless assault, each strike carrying the power to destroy the world. Pain was forced back under Naruto's onslaught, utterly helpless. His body was smashed into the ground, only his head remaining protruding. But Naruto didn't cease his assault; his eyes were filled with hatred and determination, vowing to tear this enemy to shreds.

Pain's gaze was fixed firmly on Naruto Uzumaki, who had completely descended into madness and transformed into a wild beast. At the same time, his eyes underwent a significant change. His gaze, which had previously remained calm and unwavering, now revealed an incomparably violent killing intent.

As his chakra rapidly circulated, Pain's entire body floated off the ground, as if defying gravity. Surprisingly, he bore no injuries whatsoever. Despite Naruto's furious and relentless attacks, they hadn't caused Pain much damage. After all, possessing the powerful ability of repulsive force protection, ordinary attacks were simply ineffective against him.

With a light leap, he landed in an open space, looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who had transformed into a beast enveloped in dark red chakra. A complex and helpless expression flickered in his eyes before he slowly spoke: "Do you hate me? Even now, do you still believe that true understanding between people is possible?"

Not far away, Naruto Uzumaki, with his four tails, offered no reply. His body was enveloped in dark red chakra, making him resemble a ferocious beast. However, as time passed, his chakra grew even more violent and chaotic. His four tails rapidly multiplied into six, and the power of his chakra intensified. Beast-like bones appeared on his body, transforming him into a true savage. This transformation filled the surrounding air with a violent and chaotic aura, creating a sense of oppression and unease.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki had completely lost his mind; his heart was filled with anger and hatred. He was no longer the kind, optimistic boy, but a monster consumed by dark forces. His existence posed a tremendous threat to those around him, seemingly poised to erupt at any moment, causing irreparable consequences.

Tiandao, standing to the side, silently observed all of this, his heart filled with unwavering resolve. He firmly believed that only through extreme means could he achieve his goals, even if it meant sacrificing the lives and happiness of others, to bring true peace to the world.

"That's good, but my pain far surpasses yours!" Pain roared, his usually calm expression now contorted into a ferocious grimace, as if he were unleashing all the rage and agony within him. His fist slammed into the ground with a deafening thud. The force of the blow was astonishing; the ground shattered instantly, and the underground river water, buried beneath the surface, gushed forth.

The once solid ground was quickly submerged by the surging underground river, instantly transforming into a vast lake. The lake water churned, creating layers of waves, as if telling the story of the fierce and brutal battle. Pain stood silently on the water's surface, his gaze cold and resolute, seemingly utterly unafraid of anything around him.

His gaze was fixed on Naruto Uzumaki, who was submerged in the water, a cold smile playing on his lips. Then, without hesitation, he charged forward, his body streaking across the lake like a meteor, rushing towards Naruto with unparalleled speed. His movements were swift and decisive, each step landing on the water's surface, splashing up droplets.

As he charged, massive waves surged across the lake, forming walls of water that swept towards Naruto. Pain's figure flickered in and out of view amidst the waves, his aura growing ever stronger, as if he were gathering all his power to deliver a fatal blow to Naruto.

However, this powerful water surge posed little threat to Naruto in his tailed beast form. His body was enveloped in dark red chakra, forming an indestructible shield. His nine tails, like sharp spears, relentlessly stabbed at Pain, who was charging head-on. Pain was forced to dodge Naruto's attacks while changing his direction, but he could never get close to Naruto.

Naruto used his tail as a weapon, displaying astonishing strength and speed. Each swing carried a powerful impact, making it difficult for Pain to defend against. His movements were agile and varied, sometimes attacking from below, sometimes ambushing from above, making it impossible for Pain to defend against.

Despite Pain's powerful ninjutsu abilities, he seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the ferocious onslaught. He attempted to use the Universal Pull to control Naruto, but Naruto's strength was too great, and he easily broke free. While the Almighty Push could temporarily push Naruto away, it couldn't inflict any real damage on him.

Pain, having just regained his footing and barely catching his breath, immediately leaped onto a rock and lay prone to minimize his vulnerability to attack. He dared not relax for a moment, knowing that Naruto's next attack was imminent. He swiftly raised his hands, tightly blocking above his head, preparing to meet the potential impact. His expression was tense and focused, his eyes revealing his vigilance towards the situation.

In an instant, countless chakra bullets swept towards Pain like a torrential downpour, as dense as machine gun fire, leaving him nowhere to escape. However, Pain remained unfazed. He swiftly opened his palm, and a powerful repulsive force instantly formed an impenetrable barrier. The whistling chakra bullets crashed into this barrier, producing deafening sounds. But Pain's repulsive barrier was as solid as a rock; all the chakra bullets were mercilessly deflected, posing no threat whatsoever to him.
