Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 173: As expected, something unexpected happened.
The Land of Rain, in a forest a few kilometers from the Rain Village.

Ah Wei emerged from the ground, his senses expanding.

It can be sensed that the fluctuations in natural energy are somewhat abnormal, which is caused by slugs.

There are many slugs of all sizes in Shikkutsu Forest, but there was actually only one.

Tsunade summoned a clone of the Slug Sage.

It's not surprising that the Slug Sage's clones' actions in the ninja world caused some abnormalities in natural energy.

At the same time, he also sensed Tsunade's presence.

Before dawn, Tsunade must infiltrate Amegakure again to rescue Naruto.

Tsunade was quite unwilling to accept her previous failure.

This time, Tsunade was confident because she had an inside accomplice!

Itachi will help.

Itachi is now a full member of the Akatsuki organization.

With such a coordinated effort from within and without, will the rescue of Naruto fail again?

"Then let's watch the show first," Ah Wei thought to himself.

Currently, there are also many of Awei's spores in Rain Village, parasitizing individual people.

Therefore, Awei knows almost as much as Nagato about the current situation in Amegakure.

Now it all depends on Ah Wei's mood. He might help Tsunade a little, or he might stop her from taking Naruto away.

Awei didn't care whether Naruto was in Amegakure or Konoha.

It will probably take Naruto more than ten years to grow up!
The power of ninjas is special; chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy.

Therefore, the amount of chakra that can be extracted varies depending on the age group.

Naruto is still a child; his body is still developing, and his mind is also growing, which limits his growth.

It probably takes at least until they're 10 years old for them to make a significant leap forward!

With some cheat codes, reaching the Six Paths level before the age of 20 is not impossible.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths gave Naruto a power-up, how old would he be to reach Kage level? Super Kage? Six Paths level? That's unrealistic.

At this moment, under his perception, Tsunade quickly headed towards Amegakure.

At least one day a week, Pain would use the Rain Tiger Free Technique in Amegakure.

Rain is created by using chakra to form rain clouds and cause rain to fall.

As the spell was being activated, every drop of rain that fell was intimately connected to Payne's senses.

Unfortunately, it's raining in Amegakure right now, and it's not normal rain; it's raining with chakra infused into it.

Undoubtedly, it was Pain who activated the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

In this way, it would be difficult for Tsunade to sneak into Amegakure without being detected by Pain.

However, Tsunade had also gathered a lot of information about Pain and was not completely ignorant of the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

If prepared, it's not impossible for Tsunade to avoid Pain's senses.

Although it was still several kilometers away from Amegakure, Awei's senses could cover the entire village.

But this distance covers the entire Rain Village, so Pain would definitely be able to detect it.

If you're within half a kilometer of Amegakure, be careful. Use your senses to cover the entire village. Even if Pain uses the Rain Tiger Free Technique, he might not be able to detect you.

To avoid being detected by Pain, Awei's perception only covered the edge of Amegakure.

By this time, Tsunade had arrived outside Amegakure and then successfully infiltrated the village.

Since Awei's senses did not cover the entire Amegakure, he was unaware of Tsunade's actions after she infiltrated the village.

Time is passing by.

10 minutes... 20 minutes...

Nearly half an hour later, Tsunade finally emerged from the village.

Naruto followed behind Tsunade.

It seems that Naruto has made his choice and is willing to return to Konoha.

"It seems that in Naruto's heart, Konoha is still more important than Amegakure," Awei muttered to himself.

But they didn't see Itachi come out of the village.

Was Itachi secretly helping Tsunade?
Did Payne, Konan, and the others not notice?

Therefore, it seems necessary to slightly raise the evaluation of "one against seven".

There was no sign of fighting in the village, so the possibility that Itachi stayed behind to cover the retreat could be ruled out.

Or did Itachi sacrifice himself?

That's impossible! Itachi is a Kage-level fighter, after all. Even if he can't beat Pain, it's unlikely he would be defeated so quickly.

Besides, Itachi didn't activate Susanoo!
Furthermore, Tsunade and Naruto both left the village, but no one was seen chasing after them.

Based on this analysis, there is only one possible answer.

Tsunade and Itachi's collaboration went very smoothly this time.

Of course, Naruto's cooperation is also very important.

It wouldn't have gone so smoothly if Naruto hadn't cooperated.

Of course, there is another possibility: Pain deliberately let Tsunade rescue Naruto.

Human nature is complex. Yesterday, Pain wanted to keep Naruto in Amegakure, but today he might be willing to let Naruto return to Konoha.

Perhaps it's also related to Naruto's talk-no-jutsu.

Or perhaps, the Sage of Six Paths was observing from the shadows and interfering.

Awei didn't know the specifics of the situation.

……

The operation to rescue Naruto was a success.

Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without Itachi's help.

Although itachi was being watched by Juzo Biwa, itachi still secretly provided assistance to Tsunade.

Then there's Naruto's choice.

Fortunately, Naruto hadn't lived in Amegakure for very long. Although Amegakure was a place he considered his final resting place, in his heart it was still inferior to Konoha.

But if another year or two passes, perhaps Naruto will value Amegakure more than Konoha.

Of course, the most important thing is that Tsunade's abilities are outstanding.

If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to bring Naruto back to Konoha this time.

Tsunade wasn't too opposed to returning to Konoha.

With Jiraiya becoming Hokage, Konoha took on a new look, which, in Tsunade's opinion, became something to behold.

After all, it was the village founded by her grandfather.

Her grandfather and great-uncle both devoted a lot of effort to Konoha.

His younger brother and lover also died for Konoha.

Furthermore, she also possesses the Will of Fire within her.

Therefore, Konoha is also something she cherishes in her heart.

If she had to choose between destroying Konoha and reviving her brother and lover, she would only choose the former, even though she dreamed of reviving Nawaki and Dan, Konoha was more important.

Moreover, if Konoha were truly destroyed, even if Nawaki and Dan were resurrected, they would never forgive her.

It's unclear whether sending Naruto back to Konoha would improve his life.

But it's a good thing for the overall peace situation in Konoha.

Since Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he must stay in Konoha.

If Naruto stays in Amegakure, it will only force Konoha to declare war on Akatsuki.

The old man is weak and selfish, unlike that idiot Jiraiya.

Although Jiraiya was more committed to peace than anyone else, he would never give up the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Jiraiya would never give up on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki before becoming Hokage, and he would never give up on him after becoming Hokage.

Even if Akatsuki and Konoha form an alliance.

Even though Nagato and Konan were both Jiraiya's disciples.

But on matters of principle, Jiraiya would never compromise.

Therefore, since the Akatsuki organization does not agree to hand over Naruto, secretly rescuing Naruto and sending him back to Konoha is the best option.

If Naruto returns to Konoha, is Pain going to destroy Konoha?

……

Inside Amegakure, Naruto's shadow clone fooled Pain and Konan.

Naruto secretly learned the Shadow Clone Technique.

If Kurama hadn't caused trouble, Naruto wouldn't have been able to learn Shadow Clone Technique so easily.

It's unbelievable that Naruto, who failed his Shadow Clone Jutsu exam on the screen, could so easily learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu. However, as long as Kurama doesn't cause trouble and Naruto can control his chakra, his ninjutsu learning won't be too bad.

However, it is undeniable that Naruto possesses the talent to learn the Shadow Clone Technique.

Everyone has talent!

However, most ordinary people don't have particularly outstanding talents.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had a talent for space-time manipulation.

The Third Hokage did not learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even the legendary Sannin failed to learn it, but Minato did. He even innovated upon the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage, becoming famous throughout the ninja world for this forbidden technique.

Naruto doesn't have Minato's space-time talent, but he does have the talent to train in Shadow Clone Technique.

It's worth mentioning that Shadow Clone and Multiple Shadow Clone are different.

Shadow clones can only create one physical clone, but multiple shadow clones can create multiple clones.

If the amount of chakra is large enough, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can create a large number of physical clones.

Take Naruto for example. If he can control the chakra of the Nine-Tails within him, he can easily create thousands of shadow clones using only the tailed beast's chakra.

Naruto's own chakra will also grow considerably, after all, he has the Uzumaki bloodline.

The Uzumaki clan is famous for its enormous chakra reserves.

Pain and Konan's attention was mostly focused on the light screen in the sky, which was one of the reasons they were fooled by Naruto's shadow clones.

Pain and Konan couldn't possibly keep an eye on Naruto 24/7.

However, the Anbu of Amegakure 'protected' Naruto 24 hours a day.

However, with Itachi and Tsunade working together from the outside, and with Naruto's cooperation, even the Amegakure Anbu who were 'protecting' Naruto were fooled by Naruto's shadow clones.

……

Tsunade secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto, who was following behind Tsunade, was already panting heavily.

"Although we're quite far from Amegakure now, it's not time to rest yet," Tsunade said to Naruto.

Although he was so tired he wanted to just lie down on the ground, Naruto gritted his teeth and persevered.

Naruto has no shortage of perseverance.

In fact, Tsunade was also secretly surprised by Naruto's stamina.

It's no wonder he has the vortex bloodline; his physical strength far surpasses that of children his age.

If Kurama (the Nine-Tails) gave Naruto a little more help, Naruto's stamina would probably surpass that of most genin!

Suddenly, Tsunade's expression changed, and she looked around warily.

"Grandma Tsunade, what's wrong?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Something's not right." Tsunade didn't bother to correct Naruto's way of addressing her.

Tsunade is one of the Legendary Sannin, possessing not only Kage-level strength but also extensive experience.

When traveling in the ninja world, nothing can escape Tsunade's notice, not even the slightest disturbance.

Now, Tsunade felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Tsunade's intuition told her that she was being watched, and Naruto was probably being watched as well.

If someone is lurking nearby and she can't detect them, then that person is definitely not a simple individual.

This requires her to be more vigilant.

"An enemy?" Naruto took out a kunai with his right hand.

Holding a kunai, Naruto prepared for battle.

Tsunade ignored Naruto; if he was a troublesome enemy even she found, Naruto would have been instantly killed.

Even if the Nine-Tails helps Naruto, the result will be the same.

If Naruto possesses Ashura's chakra, and that chakra is activated, then things might be different.

While carefully observing her surroundings, Tsunade analyzed the situation.

This place is not safe to stay for long. Naruto's shadow clones won't fool Pain and the others for long over in Amegakure.

So Tsunade and Naruto continued walking forward.

The further you walk, the denser the trees become.

It felt like we were just going around in circles in a forest, and that was indeed the case.

Illusion?

But it's not just an illusion.

A man in black robes appeared not far in front of Tsunade.

Before dawn, the dense forest was even darker.

In addition, he was wearing a black robe with a hood that concealed his face.

"Is it a ghost?" Naruto trembled with fear.

"Who are you?" Tsunade asked the man in black robes with a serious expression.

The face of the person in the black robe was not visible, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

This man in black robes was shrouded in mystery.

"The Uzumaki bloodline shouldn't be in Konoha." The black-robed man's voice sounded somewhat like Pain's.

But if it's Payne, there's no need to hide it!
“Naruto’s father is the Fourth Hokage, and Konoha will not abandon him.” Tsunade said earnestly.

“Defeat me, and you can take him back to Konoha,” the man in black said.

“Just what I wanted.” Tsunade clenched her fist, telling Naruto to stay put, and then walked step by step toward the man in black robes.

A powerful surge of chakra also appeared on Tsunade's body.

As Tsunade used her chakra, a gust of wind pressure appeared centered on her.

Naruto almost suffocated.

"What a terrifying sense of oppression!" Naruto thought to himself, instinctively backing away.

It's important to know that most of Tsunade's aura was directed at the man in black robes; Naruto only sensed a very small portion of it.

The difference in strength was simply too great, so even just 1% of Tsunade's aura was enough to easily suppress Naruto.

Furthermore, Tsunade's aura wasn't hostile towards Naruto; otherwise, Naruto would have felt even worse.

However, the black-robed man, who was directly bearing most of Tsunade's aura, remained completely still.

This made Tsunade's expression even more serious.

"As expected of Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, you possess such power. I acknowledge you," the man in black said with a smile.

Tsunade said coldly, "Who needs your approval, you veiled fellow..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade rushed towards the man in black robes, her movements as swift as the wind, and unleashed a punch with superhuman strength.

Seemingly aware of the power of Tsunade's punch, the man in black robes dodged it with a ghostly swift movement.

"Boom~"

Tsunade's fist slammed into a large tree, snapping it in two.

Then, Tsunade raised her right foot and slammed it down, causing the earth to shake violently.

The surrounding trees were leaning to one side and to the other.

A chakra shockwave spread out, shattering many leaves and flowers.

A large crater and cracks of varying depths appeared in the ground.

Tsunade's superhuman strength is truly terrifying.

However, no matter how strong Tsunade was, she couldn't hit the man in black.

"All you can do is hide?" Tsunade mocked.

However, Tsunade's attacks did not slow down; on the contrary, they became even faster.

The man in black robes didn't keep hiding.

It's difficult to keep dodging when fighting Tsunade.

"Bang~"

The man in black robes, condensing chakra, struck Tsunade in the chest with a palm strike, causing her to stagger back a few steps.

Tsunade also discerned the black-robed man's power.

If Tsunade doesn't use her superhuman strength, she's not as strong as this man in black robes, but if she does use it, she's much stronger than him.

Tsunade found the black-robed man's fighting style somewhat familiar.

“It looks a bit like…Pain.” Tsunade’s expression changed.

Yes, it's like Pain, or more precisely, the Deva Path of the Six Paths of Pain.

What is the relationship between this man in black robes and Payne?
Tsunade had many questions in her mind.
