Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 286 Payne: Spicy, Sweet, and Salty!
In the ninja world, Konoha Village, once a prosperous and harmonious village, is now half-destroyed, filled with screams and blood.

Sakura Haruno hid behind a wall, anxiously watching the self-proclaimed god wreaking havoc throughout Konoha. She prayed that Harry would arrive soon and help Konoha deal with this madman.

Not long ago, without any warning, a deafening explosion rang out from the edge of the village.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke carrying fragments of rocks rose straight up into the clouds, as if to tear a hole in the gloomy sky.

A being named Pain arrived in Konoha without warning and indiscriminately slaughtered everyone nearby with the utmost brutality!

The first thing that catches the eye is the grotesque mechanical body of the Asura Path.

Several cannon barrels instantly sprang from his shoulders, and amidst flashes of light, shells roared out, their fiery tails crashing into the surrounding buildings like meteors.

Wherever it went, houses collapsed with a roar, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the dust it raised was like a surging tide, instantly engulfing the streets.

Amidst terrified screams, a bustling street was reduced to rubble and ruins in the blink of an eye.

Secondly, there is the Animal Path, whose destructive power is the most astonishing, summoning giant summoned beasts from the very beginning.

All those spirit beasts had to do was twist their bodies, and everything in their path was mercilessly crushed. The shops and trees on the street were all reduced to dust under their rampage.

Although the village ninjas were brave and fearless, they drew their weapons and rushed towards the monsters. However, their resistance was weak in the face of such a powerful enemy. Apart from a few Jonin who had the power to fight back, the others could only watch helplessly as the giant summoning beast wreaked havoc everywhere.

In addition, there is the Preta Path, which can absorb all ninjutsu. It can open its mouth wide and suck in the energy of ninjutsu like a whale swallowing its prey.

Neither the raging flames of Fire Release nor the violent currents of Lightning Release had any effect on him; they were easily neutralized.

But with just these, Konoha still has a chance to win. However, even when the situation turns around, the other Pains suddenly leave for some unknown reason, leaving only Pain in Konoha.

Then, the most terrifying thing happened.

Pain slowly rose into the sky above Konoha Village, looking down at the ninja village below as if gazing at a group of insignificant ants.

"Feel the pain, contemplate the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain. Those who do not understand pain cannot understand true peace..."

Pain's voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the deepest hell, carrying endless resentment and determination, echoing throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Every word struck like a heavy hammer, sending chills down everyone's spines.

As these chilling words fell, Pain slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, and his chakra began to surge wildly.

"Super Shinra Tensei!" Pain suddenly uttered these four words. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap that resounded in everyone's ears.

In an instant, a devastating repulsive force erupted from him.

A blinding white halo, carrying unstoppable power, swept towards Konoha Village below like a surging tsunami.

The earth of Konoha Village trembled violently under this force, as if it had been hit by a super earthquake of magnitude 10 on the Richter scale.

The sturdy Hokage Rock, the symbol of Konoha's glory and heritage, instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks under the impact of the Super Shinra Tensei.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, the statues of the Hokage of all generations on the Hokage Rock collapsed and shattered, turning into countless fragments that fell downwards like raindrops.

On the street, houses shook violently under the repulsive force, then were uprooted and sent flying into the sky.

The bricks and wood of the houses collided with each other in the air, making a crackling sound, and were then pulverized by this terrifying force. The dust and debris flying everywhere shrouded the entire Hidden Leaf Village in chaos.

Those villagers and ninjas who didn't have time to escape were like fragile pieces of paper in the face of this extremely powerful repulsive force. They were easily swept into the air and then fell heavily back down, their fates unknown.

The river in Konoha Village was not spared either.

Under the influence of the Super Shinra Tensei, the river water surged into giant waves tens of meters high, which were then dispersed by the powerful repulsive force, turning into countless water droplets that splashed in the air as if a torrential downpour had occurred.

The mud, sand, and rocks at the bottom of the river were also churned up and swept up along with everything around them in this destructive storm.

After everything was over, Sakura Haruno stood amidst the ruins, staring wide-eyed at the apocalyptic scene before her, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.

"No!" she roared in despair, her voice sounding so small amidst the deafening roar of destruction.

As a Konoha ninja, protecting Konoha is her mission, but at this moment, facing Pain's Almighty Push, which is capable of destroying the world, she feels utterly powerless.

Kakashi lay amidst the ruins, his body covered in wounds, his clothes stained crimson with blood.

Her beloved teacher is dead and will never be able to show her smile again.

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists. She knew that this battle was an unprecedented crisis for Konoha Village, but they seemed powerless to turn the tide.

The power of the Super Shinra Tensei continued to wreak havoc, and Konoha Village gradually became unrecognizable under its impact.

The once bustling ninja village is now a ruin, with broken walls, rubble, and dust everywhere, making it almost impossible to see anything around.

Pain, the Deva Path, remained suspended high in the sky, coldly observing everything below. There was no pity in his eyes, as if in his eyes, all of this was the world's deserved punishment, and only by making the world feel such pain could he achieve the peace he believed in.

Among the crowd, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju, was equally grief-stricken, but as Hokage, she could not show any weakness at this moment.

Tsunade urged Sakura Haruno from the side, asking anxiously:
"Sakura, are you sure you really have support from another world? Can he really defeat Pain?"

"Yes, there really is."

"Then why hasn't he come yet? If he doesn't come soon, there's probably no point in him coming at all!"

If Pain were to unleash another Super Shinra Tensei, the entire Hidden Leaf Village would likely be completely destroyed, and the surviving ninjas would be killed by the terrifying shockwave.

Just as Tsunade decided to take action herself, even at the cost of her own life, to stop Pain, she suddenly noticed that Sakura's demeanor had undergone a dramatic change.

Sakura, originally a decisive and gentle young ninja, had her ninja aura of bloodlust vanish instantly, replaced by a languid and dignified appearance. As Hokage, Tsunade knew this kind of authority required long-term exposure to a high position, so if nothing unexpected happened, the will now dominance within Sakura was no longer her own, but rather the will of that mysterious being!

However, this was not enough to convince Tsunade. What made her certain that the one controlling Sakura's body was not herself was that the sense of danger that Sakura was giving her was increasing exponentially, even giving her the feeling that Sakura could kill her completely if she made a slight move!

How can this be?

Sakura was her disciple, and she was one of the few people in the world who knew Sakura best. Of course, she knew that although Sakura's current strength was that of an elite Jonin, she was far from reaching the Kage level.

The only possibility that could have greatly increased Sakura's strength is the consciousness descent incident she once mentioned!
The powerful being named Harry Potter has once again entered Sakura's body!
Compared to Sakura, Tsunade was not familiar with Harry, but at this moment, Konoha was in a critical situation, and as Hokage, she prioritized the greater good, so she naturally bowed respectfully:

"Greetings, Sage Supreme! Please, act swiftly and help Konoha!"

Harry had barely recovered his senses when he arrived and saw Tsunade bowing respectfully. He turned his gaze away without showing any emotion, then looked at the ruins of Konoha Village and Pain, the Deva Path, floating above it.

After observing the situation for a moment and understanding the current predicament, Harry realized that he could easily resolve Konoha's predicament, so he confidently said:
"Don't worry, Hokage, I will end the battle soon and restore Konoha."

Then, Harry slowly walked towards the direction of Pain.

At this moment, Sakura Haruno in Harry's mind asked with some confusion:

"Harry, can't you travel between different worlds in your physical body now? Why do you still need to descend into my body? Could it be—that you like me?"

Even though he knew Sakura Haruno was joking, Harry was still speechless. He explained:

"I'm only sending out a portion of my consciousness right now; my main body is still dealing with important matters in my world, so it can't get here in time."

"Oh, I see... Wait a minute!" Sakura Haruno said worriedly, "Can this part of your consciousness defeat Pain? Don't underestimate him, he's very strong!"

"Don't worry, it's all right." Harry reassured Sakura Haruno. Even if it were only a tenth of the power he had now bestowed upon her, it would be unstoppable in this world!
Harry kept leaping across the ruins, quickly approaching Pain. He planned to kill Pain with a single split beam, then find and kill the puppet's main body, and get home as soon as possible.

However, just as Harry was about to approach Pain, a figure suddenly appeared and confronted Pain.

Sakura Haruno exclaimed in Harry's mind, "Naruto, what's he doing here? Oh right, he's back from his training!"

“Interesting!” Harry noticed that Naruto’s current state was very special. His chakra was divided into three parts and contained an additional natural power, making it more powerful than the usual chakra composed of life force and spiritual power.

"Why did you stop?" Sakura Haruno asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry, Naruto has appeared. I feel like he might be able to defeat Pain."

"Wait, is Naruto really capable?" Even though she knew that Naruto had returned from his training at Mount Myofuku, Sakura Haruno didn't believe that Naruto could defeat the terrifying Pain.

After all, the image of Naruto as a loser had been ingrained in her mind for far too long.

Harry grinned. "Perhaps, Sakura. You should have more faith in Naruto. He's probably the strongest in Konoha right now."

Sakura: "!!!"

……

Soon, Naruto was engaged in battle with Pain. After seeing Naruto easily defeat the Asura Path with a single punch, Sakura exclaimed in surprise:

"My God, Naruto is so strong now!"

Harry didn't say anything. To him, this level of battle, or any battle in this world, was nothing more than child's play.

On the battlefield, Naruto's battle with Pain was extremely fierce.

At the very beginning, Naruto summoned several toads from Mount Myōboku, and even the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima.

Each of them was very powerful and easily defeated the many summoned beasts summoned by the Animal Path.

Among them, the three giant toads played a crucial role.

When Naruto and his friends defeated all the summoning beasts, the nearby Konoha ninjas cheered, releasing their pent-up frustration and fear, as well as their hope for victory.

However, at this moment, a voice attracted everyone's attention:
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't let their ugly appearance fool you, these three toads are quite powerful. Their strength is almost indistinguishable from that of a basilisk."

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, it still attracted the attention of Naruto, Pain, and others who were closest to it.

The three toads raised their claws angrily and said:

"Hey, what do you know, little girl? We're the most handsome toads of Mount Myōboku!"

"Oh, I see. Then Mount Myoboku is doomed!" Harry retorted again.

The toads immediately turned red with anger. If they weren't on a battlefield, they would have definitely taught this little girl a lesson.

Naruto also noticed Harry watching the battle nearby. Although he felt that Sakura Haruno was acting a little strange at this moment, he didn't think much of it. He just advised Harry to stay away to avoid being caught in the crossfire and then focused all his attention on fighting Pain.

Payne completely ignored Harry, believing that this little girl was utterly incapable of influencing the course of the battle.

At that moment, in Harry's mind, the veins on Sakura Haruno's forehead formed a grid, and she roared in dissatisfaction:
"Harry, what are you saying at a time like this? Waaah, I'm sure I'll be hated now."

Harry shook his head. "Don't worry, no. Their ugliness seems to be caused by an error in their method of cultivating natural energy. Just now, I created a completely new way of circulating natural energy. Once you give it to them, they'll be more than grateful to you."

……

Ahead, the battle continues, with Naruto using his new ninjutsu, Rasenshuriken, temporarily gaining the upper hand.

But just when everyone thought Naruto was about to win with the Rasenshuriken, Pain suddenly narrowed his eyes and slowly said:
Spicy, sweet, and salty!
