Chapter 319: Laser Cannon - Destruction Shot
In battles between Ninjas, the most important thing is intelligence.
Because intelligence is so vital, it is commonplace to intentionally leak false information to the enemy.
After their team assignment, Kakashi told Naruto not to be overly superstitious about intelligence.
In actual combat, even if intelligence is obtained in advance, the opponent will make adjustments and changes at any time.
Intelligence cannot be fully trusted; it needs to be screened, verified, and judged in combination with the actual situation. freewebnøvel.com
In the battle so far, the abilities Uzumaki Naruto has used include gold dust, Wind Nature Chakra infusion, Lightning Nature Chakra infusion, Flying Thunder God, and the technique just now that turned into a red paper crane.
The Wood Release mentioned in the intelligence has not been used.
Is it because using the Rinnegan Chakra caused excessive consumption?
But the opponent is still the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki; he shouldn’t be lacking in Chakra.
Seeing Naruto disappear, the Heavenly Dao released the black rod with his right hand and picked up his left arm.
The Naraka Path and Human Path stood in front of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao took a few steps back, entering the mouth of the King of Hell.
The Animal Path summoned all of his summoned beasts.
The Multi-Headed Hound, Giant Crustacean, Giant Chameleon, Giant Drill-Beaked Bird, Giant Ram, and Giant Panda—these six types of summoned beasts also had the same black rods and Rinnegan as the Six Paths of Pain.
Their vision could also be shared.
Inside Uchiha Hikari’s Perfect Susanoo, Naruto’s figure had appeared at some unknown point.
He utilized the Flying Thunder God Mark previously left on Hikari to teleport directly into the protective range of the Susanoo.
Looking at the massive lineup of the Pain army and the summoned beast array with shared vision in the distance, Naruto remarked sincerely, "One person can actually view and process so much visual information from different perspectives simultaneously and precisely control so many units to fight in coordination... This level of Spiritual Power and Chakra control precision is truly extraordinary."
With Nagato’s talent, even without the Rinnegan, he would have forged his own path as a powerhouse.
However, sentiment aside, tactical adjustments were made immediately.
Naruto handed the Yaso Magatsukiri in his hand directly to Uchiha Hikari beside him.
"Hikari, stop using the Perfect Susanoo for now."
Naruto spoke quickly, his eyes scanning Konan watching greedily from the sky and the informants scattered all around.
"The enemy is numerous and shares vision; the Perfect form is too large a target and consumes too much. Save some Chakra and prepare to deal with more complex situations."
"Mm."
Hikari gave a concise response.
Her gaze remained focused on Konan.
After fighting for a short while, she had noticed that the opponent seemed to have a considerable understanding of and precautions against the Uchiha Clan’s fighting style, especially the Sharingan’s Genjutsu attacks.
Not only did Konan rarely make direct eye contact with Hikari to avoid falling into the Tsukuyomi trap, but the countless slips of paper constantly flying and circling around her also cleverly acted as ’visual interference devices’.
These papers would automatically adjust their positions with her movements and air currents, frequently and irregularly blocking or reflecting Hikari’s line of sight, making it difficult for her to obtain stable, clear visual contact, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of casting Tsukuyomi, which requires eye contact.
Clearly, Konan had conducted in-depth research on the Sharingan and prepared targeted tactics.
The Susanoo slowly dissipated.
Naruto and Hikari landed on a rooftop in Hidden Stone Village.
Konan was in the sky, and they were surrounded by the Six Paths of Pain and six giant summoned beasts.
Naruto and Hikari’s figures landed lightly on the roof of a relatively intact building on the edge of Hidden Stone Village.
At this moment, their situation did not seem optimistic:
High above their heads was the highly alert ’Angel’ Konan, with wings spread and surrounded by Paper Release.
On the ground and in the air around them were the regrouped and battle-ready Six Paths of Pain, along with those six massive summoned beasts with flickering Rinnegan, sealing off every direction completely.
Above and below, shared vision, multiple layers of encirclement.
However, standing on the roof, Naruto and Hikari showed little sign of nervousness.
After the brief clash just now, the two of them had more or less figured out their opponents’ fighting style.
Naruto flexed his wrists, his red Six Tomoe Rinnegan calmly scanning the surrounding ’audience,’ a hint of an interested smile even curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Quite a grand display..."
He chuckled softly, then looked at Hikari beside him, who was gripping her katana tightly with eyes as sharp as a blade.
"Are you ready? Don’t let them look down on us."
Hikari nodded slightly, and the blade in her hand was instantly coated in the flames of Amaterasu.
Using Amaterasu directly on Konan would be troublesome, as she would simply turn that part of her body into paper and shed it.
It was better to fight directly with weapons.
"Here I go!"
Naruto closed the Seventh Gate; currently, his body couldn’t quite handle the consumption of long-term use of the Seventh Gate.
It couldn’t be helped; that’s how it is when the body hasn’t fully developed.
He maintained the Gate of View, entering a semi-open state, and the violent Chakra within his body began to calm down.
As Naruto spoke, everyone and every summoned beast on the field moved.
"Wood Release: Multi Wood Golem Clone Technique!"
Six Wood Clones grew out from Naruto’s body, and then giant Wood Golems rose from the ground to meet those massive summoned beasts.
"The intelligence was indeed wrong. That fellow Zetsu only said the opponent could control one giant Wood Golem; I didn’t expect he could let his Clones control Wood Golems as well."
Seeing that Naruto could use Wood Clones to control tall Wood Golems, Nagato still felt that the opponent was handling things with ease.
Is the opponent holding back because they are currently in Hidden Stone Village?
He had to test further, force him to reveal more trump cards, or create a ’choice’ he couldn’t avoid!
After Naruto disappeared again, the Heavenly Dao kept Shinra Tensei ready at all times to prevent a surprise attack.
Besides the Heavenly Dao, the other Pains began to use their ultimate moves.
The Asura Path’s head suddenly split open from the middle like a bizarre flower, peeling back to reveal sophisticated energy conduction devices and a cannon port inside.
Laser Cannon: Destruction Shot!
In the cannon port, a blinding blue light rapidly gathered and compressed, emitting devastating energy fluctuations!
After a brief charge, a blue Chakra laser cannon more than half a meter in diameter, condensed to the extreme, shot out violently with a whistle that tore through the air!
However, the target of the laser cannon was not Naruto, Hikari, or any Wood Golem or Clone, but was aimed straight at a distant Hidden Stone Village district that had not been fully evacuated, where a few Hidden Stone Village Ninjas were still organizing a defense!
Pain wanted to verify his hypothesis!
He wanted to see how this Sixth Hokage, who spoke of ’peace’ and seemed ’wary’ of damaging Hidden Stone Village, would react when faced with such an attack aimed directly at innocent buildings and civilians!
Would he continue to hold back his strength ’with ease,’ or be forced to use stronger power to intercept it or bear the consequences?
"You bastard!"
A clear and angry shout from a young girl rang out!
It was Kurotsuchi!
She had originally been working on evacuating the citizens.
Seeing the laser cannon firing toward the Village district, her eyes nearly burst with rage, and almost without thinking, her hands flew into seals, pouring Chakra frantically into the ground beneath her feet!
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
The surrounding Hidden Stone Village Ninjas who noticed also began to use Earth-Style Wall.
Thick rock walls rose rapidly between her and the trajectory of the laser cannon!
This was one of the defensive Ninjutsu most trusted by the Hidden Stone Village Ninjas.
Psh—!
However, the blue laser cannon pierced through these Earth-Style Walls instantly and without obstruction.
The thick rock was as fragile as paper before the destructive beam of energy!
The laser, its momentum undiminished, continued to blast toward the distant district!
The color instantly drained from Kurotsuchi’s face, her eyes filled with despair.
A golden figure appeared above the head of the Naraka Path Pain.
While stomping down hard, causing the Naraka Path Pain’s mechanical body to explode and parts to scatter, Naruto activated the Flying Thunder God and appeared instantly beside Kurotsuchi.
He didn’t even look back at the lethal laser cannon; he simply reached out his left hand and, like picking up a kitten, grabbed Kurotsuchi by the back of her collar, then used his arm’s strength to throw her toward the relatively safe rear-flank.
"Waaah!"
Kurotsuchi only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before her body uncontrollably traced an arc, falling toward a pile of soft sand in the distance.
And at the same time Naruto threw Kurotsuchi, nine tails suddenly appeared behind Naruto and swept toward the laser cannon.
The blue laser cannon was swept aside, scattering like a peacock spreading its tail.
Countless missiles fired toward Naruto’s back.
Countless sheets of paper entangled Hikari, making her unable to break free.
An earth-shaking explosion rang out!
Flames soared into the sky, and the violent shockwave instantly swallowed and tore apart the houses, streets, and defensive fortifications of that district.
Shattered stones and broken wood flew in all directions like a rainstorm, and thick smoke billowed up, forming a destruction crater dozens of meters in diameter!
Vague, shrill screams and cries could be heard from the distance, muffled by the explosion...
