Chapter 698

However, opponents immediately pointed out that Jiraiya suffered from a lack of information about his opponent.

Otherwise, Nagato wouldn't have sighed after his death, "If he hadn't known the secret of Pain, I would have been the one who lost."

Immediately after, Naruto, under the cover of the toads, used smoke to block the vision of the Rinnegan.

And Chikushodo, with his vision blocked, suddenly felt darkness all around him.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Sage Naruto had already used the Rasenrengan to beat Chikushodo, whose physical quality wasn't high, until he couldn't get up again in the brief gap.

And at this moment, the screen gradually brightened.

Gamabunta "spat" and spat out Chikushodo's corpse and Naruto.

It turned out that the battle just now happened in his mouth!

And at the same time, Naruto had reached his chakra limit and deactivated Sage Mode.

The Naruto fans in front of the screen slapped their foreheads.

Feeling a bit emotional for a moment, holy crap, it's been a long time since I've seen such a battle of wits.

However, Naruto's operations were still continuing.

After exiting Sage Mode, the shadow clone that had been arranged in advance at Mount Myoboku to collect natural chakra automatically deactivated.

Naruto entered Sage Mode again!

However, the Rasenshuriken he used again was absorbed by Gakido, who had already been defeated and descended from the sky.

Naruto also noticed Jigokudo standing behind the other Pains, said nothing, and only showed a thoughtful expression.

Immediately, Naruto summoned shadow clones again and threw smoke bombs.

The next instant, a third Rasenshuriken flew out from the smoke.

Gakido remained unmoved, activating his ability again to prepare to absorb it.

However, at this very moment, the Rasenshuriken turned into Naruto with a "pop."

He grabbed Gakido's waist and tackled him to the ground. "Isn't this the move used to fight Zabuza?!" The old fans' eyes lit up immediately.

Immediately after, a real Rasenshuriken from behind attacked Tendo Pain.

This time you don't have a meat shield!

The audience seemed to have already foreseen the scene of Tendo being torn to pieces by the Rasenshuriken. However—Whoosh!

At the very last moment before the wind blades were about to hit, a terrifying repulsive force erupted from Tendo Pain, and the Rasenshuriken was instantly dispersed into countless white light particles and drifted away. "Power finally restored."

Tendo Pain looked down at Naruto, who had tackled Gakido to the ground.

As if mocking him for doing all this in vain. 【Oh no! It was just that close!】

【Xu Feng loves to torture the audience like this!】

【RNM! Refund!】 "Rasenrengan!"

However, just as Tendo Pain finished his mocking words, a figure descended from the sky, and the two Rasengans in his hands completely killed Jigokudo, who had been protecting Tendo and Gakido from behind!

From the very beginning, Naruto's target wasn't the first two, but Jigokudo standing at the very back.

In the attack just now, Tendo Pain saw through that the first Rasenshuriken was a cover, letting Gakido absorb it.

But he didn't expect the second one to also be a cover, just to keep Gakido and Tendo's attention focused on the front.

And ignore the attack on Jigokudo from behind!

This way, they couldn't be resurrected!

What a brilliant chain of schemes!

【Holy crap, is this really Naruto? He's that smart?】

【What do you mean, the one above? Naruto has always had a high IQ when fighting, okay?】

【Exactly, you must have forgotten that the strategy for fighting Zabuza was thought up by Naruto.】

【Many viewers only remember Naruto using power-ups and the Nine-Tails when in danger, but forget that he is also a person who fights with his brain.】 Seeing these barrage evaluations, Xu Feng felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Because this battle was basically the last time Naruto used his brain.

After that, he also went to pilot a Gundam.

After taking out Jigokudo, only Gakido and Tendo remained of the Six Paths of Pain.

Although Naruto relied on letting Gakido absorb natural chakra to turn him into a frog and successfully defeated him.

But he himself was at the end of his rope, his hands overlapped and pierced by black rods, and finally nailed to the ground by Tendo Pain. "... Not working anymore?"

Seeing Naruto at this moment, the audience couldn't help but think of Sasuke in the Susanoo state earlier.

The desperate situation Naruto was facing at this moment was probably on par with Sasuke's at that time, right?

Sasuke successfully won by a narrow margin relying on the eye left by Shisui, so Naruto's power-up is...

At this moment, the old fans thought of the same two words in unison—Nine-Tails!

But even if the old fans guessed in what form Naruto would get out of the desperate situation, they were still stunned by the following plot.

"You who turned my master! My teacher! My hometown! into this state! What qualifications do you have to talk about peace!?"

In the screen, facing Naruto's angry questioning, no emotion could be seen in Tendo Pain's Rinnegan, and he replied indifferently: "However, what qualifications do you Konoha ninjas, who turned my family, my companions, and my village into what Konoha is now, have to mention justice and peace?"

"You and I are both acting for our own justice."

"The justice I implemented on Konoha is exactly what you are about to do to me..."

"Facing the endless chain of hatred, how are you going to establish true peace? Tell me the answer."

After Tendo Pain's series of questions, Naruto, who was originally full of righteous indignation, now only had loss and confusion on his face.

"I don't know..."

Let alone Naruto, the audience was also confused by Pain's series of questions.

Many fans wanted to type on their keyboards to express their thoughts, but after putting their fingers on them, they didn't know what to say.

The playback page, which was always occupied by barrages for half its area, also looked exceptionally clean at this moment.

Xu Feng also guessed that at least eight digits of viewers were now crashed by Nagato's soul-crushing questioning.

"Brother, will the audience agree with the answer you gave?"

Peng Yuchang asked with some concern.

He was of course referring to the plot where Naruto convinces Nagato.

In the original work, Naruto used Jiraiya's belief that the era where people understand each other will surely come, plus his ancestral Talk no Jutsu, to fool Nagato.

This plot was also criticized by countless readers in his past life.

Xu Feng, a transmigrator, almost burned out his brain's CPU before he barely thought of a modified version where the plot holes weren't so exaggerated.

"Armed suppression and terror rule will only bring more serious resistance. I don't know what true peace is yet, but I will spend my whole life pursuing this answer and realizing the path of building common peace in the ninja world."

Yeah, although there are still many plot holes.

But Xu Feng has tried his best to round it out.

True peace?

Damn, humans have studied this kind of philosophical problem for tens of thousands of years without reaching a result.

You want to give a perfect answer in a manga, how is that possible?

This is also why anime that discuss social philosophical problems like "Attack on Titan," "Naruto," and even "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's" and "Persona 5" always like to use Deus ex Machina at the end.

It's really because they can't give an answer themselves, and they have no choice.

PS: Re-watching Naruto again, I still don't understand why Minato Namikaze only sealed half of the Nine-Tails in his son's body.

If you want to leave a power-up, you should leave the whole thing.

And it's absurd that he can still train to Nine-Tails Mode in the underworld after dying...
