Chapter 275: Naruto vs Pain
"This may have been a bit overkill..." Naruto muttered as he watched dozens of toads fell from the mountain and into the village. " I only needed to call the two Elders."
"Mmm...I don't believe our help is much needed here," Kakashi said. He watched as the beast he had knocked up was struggling to stand when, out of nowhere, a massive toad fell on its head and drove a sword through it.
"Gamadachi...right?" Kakashi asked.
"Oh, Mister Kakashi, it's an honor seeing you again." The giant toad gave him a bow.
A short distance away, two more toads landed next to the other summoned beast and hit it with a barrage of attacks.
Gamahiro wielded two swords, while Gamaken had a giant hammer and a metallic shield at his side.
The five puppets commanded by Pain were able to understand that time was of the essence. They were not going to win a long fight against two entire ninja villages - one of humans and another of toads.
So they made the prompt decision to rush directly at Naruto, hoping for a quick victory that would allow them to take him away.
This was the only objective from the beginning. Pain was willing to sacrifice all six of his puppets if that's what it took to capture Naruto. As long as he could accomplish that, nothing else mattered.
Naruto saw them approaching and just gave Tsunade a signal to stay away. He didn't want to worry about hitting others with any of his moves as he fought. But just then, he saw two small toads land on his shoulders.
"Fukasaku, Shima...I promised that I would call you when facing Pain, and I did," Naruto said. "But I thought you were going to be watching from the sidelines. There is no need t-"
"Nonsense! We can help you!" Shima said.
"Yes, we have some experience facing these enemies. Each one of them has a particularly dangerous ability. Like that one...he can s-"
"Summon things...I already know that one." Just as Naruto said this, that same puppet performed another summoning.
This time he brought forth a massive rhinoceros. Or something that looked like it.
"Hmph!" Gamabunta landed in front of the beast and tore it to shreds with his sword. "You called the entire clan to face these lowly creatures? Is that all we're good for now?" The Toad Lord complained.
"No, I mostly called the clan to watch as I destroy the one who killed Jiraiya. I thought you guys would like to see that," Naruto told Gamabunta. "But you can also help make sure the village doesn't suffer much damage during the fight. I'm sure Tsunade will compensate you with several barrels of sake."
"Mmm...I suppose I can't say no to that." Gamabunta responded.
"Hold on, Naruto! How much can that toad drink? My reserves are not limitless!" Tsunade shouted.
"Naruto, be careful with that one!" Fukasaku warned him as he saw one of the puppets approaching. He was the largest one of them all and had his palms extended in a peculiar manner.
"He can absorb chakra attacks, so don't use ninjutsu against him," Shima added.
"Okay..." Naruto extended his arm and manifested a growing sphere of chakra that began to shine brightly with a blue hue.
The giant Rasengan was then shot out toward the large man, along with a small kunai.
"Naruto!"
"We just told you not to do that!"
The toads were not too happy with his actions right now.
But he paid them no mind.
Naruto observed as the man used his open palms to stop the Rasengan and began to absorb all the chakra like it was the most delicious meal.
"You like that, huh?"
Unfortunately, he was too distracted to notice that a kunai had also landed right in front of him.
Naruto used his new favorite technique to teleport to the kunai's position and found himself sandwiched between the large man's arms and his own Rasengan that was spinning behind him. Right now there was only a bit of chakra left and it had lost most of its volume.
"What?!"
"How?!"
The toads on his shoulders must have felt disoriented and confused for a moment since they weren't expecting that move.
Naruto grabbed hold of the man's wrists and as soon as his Rasengan disappeared, he jumped and put his feet on his face.
He then extended his body and pulled, using all the strength given to him by his cultivation, plus Sage Mode.
In a fraction of a second, the two arms that Naruto had been gripping were pulled from their sockets and were ripped apart as the large man was sent tumbling backwards.
Naruto then kicked the kunai on the ground as he allowed the two arms to fall from his grip.
The four other puppets were rushing to the aid of their partner.
"Too slow." Naruto disappeared again. The kunai was still mid-air as he moved to it and was now passing by the side of the dismembered puppet.
Naruto formed another Rasengan and brought it up to the man's face.
This time, the Preta Path puppet had no way to absorb his chakra and Naruto's jutsu made direct impact on the middle of his face.
The chakra from the Rasengan spun with tremendous violence under Naruto's command and tore through everything it made contact with...bones...flesh. Nothing stopped it before it went completely through the head, leaving nothing but a bloody mess behind.
The puppet collapsed on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood, and Naruto stood at its side with a grin of satisfaction on his face.
"You know...when you tell me that I can't do something...I take that as a challenge."
There was a long silence after that.
Everyone was staring at him in disbelief. The elders told him not to use ninjutsu against this one, so he went out of his way to kill him using only ninjutsu.
"I don't know what to say..." Shima shook her head.
"I think Jiraiya would have been proud," added Fukasaku.

Yes, in his previous life, he used a fire element cultivation method. Now, as Naruto, his favored elements are fire and wind.

Mc used to be a cultivator right? We all saw his most used spell is flame attribute like flame lotus or something, so MC main dao or path in his past life is flame dao?
