Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 214 Experiencing Pain [Part Two]

"Konoha Village..."

After several years of training, Sasuke has now grown up perfectly and has even devoured Orochimaru, who wanted to take over his body.

He was originally all alone and was preparing to fight his brother to the death.

However, right after he killed Orochimaru, he found Konoha's intelligence in Orochimaru's base.

Ultimately, he couldn't completely let go of this village.

He just wanted to check if there was any news about... some blond idiot, but then he saw a familiar name and a face that was deeply etched in his memory...

【Father?!】

Sasuke was immediately shocked. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was something else entirely (a visitor from another world?!).

This left Sasuke even more confused.

He didn't want to come.

But in the end, he still wanted to see.

I want to see that stern, unsmiling figure from my memories...

Even just one glance would be enough...

Even just one glance would satisfy him.

That's what he thought.

So he came here.

Sasuke pulled his hat down and entered Konoha Village.

After several years of development, Konoha Village...

(It's not much different from when I left...)

Sasuke thought to himself.

Then he used a transformation spell to become another adult, knowing that he wouldn't get any information just by asking.

and so……

He found a corner and activated his Sharingan.

……

At the Konoha Ninja Academy, Fugaku raised his head, slightly startled, his eyes flashing blood red as three tomoe instantly appeared.

After only a moment of stunned silence, Fugaku shook his head.

It seems like just now...

It's the resonance of the Sharingan...

Didn't they say they would exterminate the entire race?

Oh wait... there was also a pair of brothers.

So it must be Josuke's Sharingan, right...?

Fugaku pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

The Uchiha clan in this world is utterly foolish, and their extermination is a foregone conclusion. What is there to care about?

He should spend more time worrying about his own family.

But before that...

Fugaku drew a heavy cross on the exam paper in front of him and then sighed helplessly.

The differences in the world...

These kids are clearly talented...

Forget it, let's just start teaching from the basics.

There's still a year left for the exchange internship, so it should be enough time.

……

(Found it...)

Sasuke slowly raised his head, but a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.

It was a feeling similar to feeling apprehensive about returning home.

He's not far from here...

Obviously...

Sasuke hesitated...

Should he...?

Go to that place...

Just as Sasuke was hesitating...

Several dark figures slowly appeared in the air.

Then, everyone in Konoha heard this voice:

"Fifth Hokage Tsunade, listen up."

"Immediately hand over the two Akatsuki members we arrested a few days ago."

This is a kind of amplification technique; it doesn't require much skill.

Sasuke frowned. Where did this hothead come from, shouting and yelling in Konoha like this?

As expected, Sasuke saw seven or eight ANBU squads emerging from all directions, attacking the suddenly appearing figure.

However, all their attacks failed.

Those people were still standing there.

The Hokage, Tsunade, was so angry that her face turned pale.

Does nobody really take her, the Hokage, seriously?

I want to see which bastard is so reckless.

Hokage Tsunade used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at the battlefield, and when she saw the auspicious cloud pattern on her black robe, she didn't care.

But when she looked up and saw that all the figures in front of her had the Rinnegan, she was shocked.

Those eyes...

All troops! Spread out! Evacuate the villagers immediately!

Pain looked down at Tsunade, his thoughts drifting back to a cave in a country where the rain never stopped...

They encountered the three legendary ninjas who were still young at the time...

however……

It's too late to go back...

"Hand over Kakuzu and Hidan." Yahiko stepped forward and looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade frowned; she felt she had seen the person in front of her somewhere before…

But now is not the time to think about these things. The moment the other side appears here, we become enemies.

"If you want to take someone away, then step over my dead body!" Hokage Tsunade said coldly, shaking her robes.

"..." Payne watched this scene in silence.

"Hey, Tsunade, you can't be the only one looking cool... Yahiko?!"

Jiraiya, wearing wooden clogs and a loose kimono, had just come out with a smile on his face when he stared wide-eyed at the figure opposite him.

Pain slightly turned his gaze to Jiraiya, becoming even more silent...

"Those eyes...aren't those Nagato's eyes?! And these people...why do you all have Nagato's eyes?!"

Jiraiya's face was contorted with rage: "What did you do to Nagato?!"

The Paynes remained silent.

After a long while, it was Pain's Deva Path, namely Yahiko, who slowly spoke: "Jiraiya... Sensei..."

Jiraiya looked at the other person with a solemn expression, waiting for them to continue.

"We lost everything... ideals, ambitions, companions..."

Jiraiya-sensei, you're wrong.

The war will never end; your so-called peace is nothing but a pointless fantasy.

We abandoned your path and embarked on a completely new one.

Jiraiya looked at Pain Tendo in front of him, but only one question was on his mind.

What are those black sticks on Yahiko's face? Are they some kind of earrings from a rebellious young man?!

"What does this have to do with you demanding we release them? Wait... you wouldn't happen to be... the leader of Akatsuki, would you?!"

Pain raised his head and said calmly, "We are called Pain! We are the ones who bring pain to the world!"

Let the world feel pain...

Let the world suffer...

Let the world never again create suffering...

This is our belief!

Then, to Jiraiya and Tsunade's astonishment, Pain suddenly clapped his hands together, and when he released them again, a black sphere appeared in his palms.

"Planetary Devastation..."

The ground began to tremble violently.

Tsunade and Jiraiya stumbled, feeling an immense force pulling them towards them...

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade suddenly squatted down, assuming a horse stance with both hands clenched into fists.

"Ah!" Jiraiya bit his finger and summoned Gamabunta with a summoning jutsu. Gamabunta was almost sucked into the sky as soon as he appeared.

Before it could even get angry, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and said, "I'm ready!"

Tsunade roared angrily and slammed her fist into the ground, the force of which cracked the earth.

Then Tsunade inserted her hands into the crevice and lifted a huge rock, roughly the size of a playground...

"I see!" Gamabunta laughed loudly, using his tongue as a giant racket to smash the rock into the black ball in the air that was constantly emitting an attractive force.

"Mudada," Pain said calmly, "it's impossible for this to destroy the core of my Planetary Devastation."

"Hey, who said anything about destruction?" Jiraiya grinned coldly.

Pain frowned immediately: "What?"

"Bunta!"

"Oh my! Always ready!"

Then, a man and a toad opened their mouths at the same time.

Oil spurted from the toad's mouth, and fire spewed from Jiraiya's mouth.

Tsunade pointed directly into the air and commanded the surrounding Anbu ninja, "Everyone, Water Release: Attack!"

"yes!"

Dozens of water-style attacks shot into the air, after which Tsunade gave the order: "Follow up with wind-style attacks!"

And so, under Payne's watchful gaze, the core of his Planetary Devastation was pushed further and further away...

"I see. When the altitude is increased, the gravitational pull on the body will naturally decrease."

As expected of the two of you... you came up with a solution almost instantly...

Payne watched this scene indifferently, not caring whether the Planetary Devastation would succeed or not.

He didn't use his full strength; this time, the Earth Explosion Star was only small-scale, which destroyed half a street.

He was ultimately not someone who enjoyed causing mass killings.

Okay, the main concern is that using a large-scale Chibaku Tensei to seal Kakuzu and Hidan inside would be counterproductive.

Ultimately, he came to save people, not to destroy Konoha.

It was just a side goal.

So, apart from Pain's Deva Path, everyone else rushed down.

They launched their attack with all sorts of fancy techniques, such as launching missiles from their bodies, absorbing and countering escape techniques, and summoning giant summoning beasts.

Because the commotion was so great, Hiashi, Hizashi, and Fugaku naturally noticed it as well.

Japan's first reaction was very steady: "Konoha Village has been attacked? Hmm, but it's not our Konoha Village, let's ignore it and leave."

Hiji had a different opinion: "But if we leave, what will happen to this village...?"

Hiashi frowned: "Hizashi, you're overthinking it. This is Konoha Village. Even if it's not from our world, it can't be that weak."

Hizashi was still somewhat hesitant: "But... since the enemy dared to attack here, it means they must have made corresponding preparations..."

Japan remained silent.

Fugaku, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "If you want to go and see, then go ahead and take a look."

Hiashi and Hizashi looked at Fugaku.

Fugaku stroked his chin and said, "When we came here, didn't Orochimaru give each of us a scroll with yin and yang magnetic poles? If there's really no need to rush, just use that scroll."

Hiashi immediately realized that the scroll was a space-time ninjutsu that used the location of the ancient Loulan space. Theoretically, as long as it was opened, even if one could not instantly travel from this world back to their world, one could instantly return to the ancient Loulan site in this world.

With that in mind, the three of them agreed to continue observing the current situation.

So the three of them found Asma.

Asuma certainly knew the choice between monitoring the three and the attack on Konoha.

Not to mention that these three people didn't show any bad behavior at all.

Even if they show it, the top priority right now is definitely dealing with Pain's attack on Konoha.

So Asma led the three of them to first organize the teachers in the school to drive all the students to the back mountain, where there were fortifications built.

Then Asma and the three of them headed to the center of the village.

During this time, they witnessed Konoha descending into chaos.

This has nothing to do with which world's Hidden Leaf Village it is.

In fact, if Yua's Konoha Village were to suffer a terrorist attack, it would also cause chaos.

It's human nature; you can't expect a group of ordinary villagers to remain calm and orderly in the face of such a situation.

In a situation where one's life could be lost at any moment, no one would give up hope of survival. Naturally, some people at the back would run desperately, and there might even be those who think, "If I can't live, neither can you," and forcibly drag others down with them...

Not to mention that some people are completely oblivious to the danger, thinking this is a good time to take advantage of the situation, and they even directly robbed others of their belongings...

"laugh……"

With a single slash, Sasuke sliced ​​a villager who had tackled the girl in half. He then coldly looked at the girl before him and said, "Let's go to the back mountain. That should be the safest place in Konoha right now."

"Um...yes, yes!" The girl, who had been in despair, saw the handsome face under the hood and her tears faded a little. She nodded quickly and then got up and ran away.

Sasuke held the Kusanagi sword in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

He didn't have that deep an emotional connection to the village.

Maybe there's someone he cares about in this village...

But that's all.

To be honest, I don't really feel any sense of belonging or love for the whole village...

Everyone in the family is dead, so where would these things be...?

However, even so, Sasuke remained silent when he saw Konoha Village plunged into unprecedented chaos.

This has nothing to do with whether or not there are emotions.

It's simply the desolation and antagonism that arises in a person's heart after witnessing a complete tragedy...

Nobody likes Konoha Village like this...

"Go! This way! This way!"

Sasuke heard a sound and turned to look...

It was Asuma leading Fugaku and the other two who were running towards the center of Konoha Village.

(Father?) Sasuke was slightly taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, he still took a step and chased after him.

Meanwhile:

"Got it!" Jiraiya roared, emerging from the ground and approaching Pain.

However, Pain stood there without moving, and Jiraiya was sent flying backward.

"Cough cough, damn it, what's going on..." Jiraiya gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.

At that moment, Yahiko, one of the Six Paths of Pain, stepped forward: "Jiraiya-sensei, seeing this scene now, do you feel anything?"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth: "What did you say?"

Yahiko raised his head and looked calmly at Jiraiya: "Only by experiencing pain can one truly understand it, and naturally, one will not create such pain again."

The destruction of Konoha Village today is the necessary price to pay for lasting peace in the future.

Jiraiya turned his head and looked at the girl with the Rinnegan in her eyes, who could kill a summoning beast with a single punch but was still constantly summoning more.

Damn it, where did she get so many summoned beasts?

Moreover, all the ninjutsu attacks from the Konoha Anbu ninjas were absorbed by that damned fat guy.

And that one whose body was modified to launch missiles... it's even a tracking device...

Seeing Kakashi and Might Guy locked in a fierce battle, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and looked at Yahiko: "It's not too late to stop now, Yahiko. You shouldn't be like this... The you I knew back then..."

"The Yahiko you knew is dead."

Jiraiya was not Naruto after all, and his talk-no-jutsu was immediately interrupted by the other party.

"It's not too late now, teacher. Hand over Kakuzu and Hidan."

Jiraiya fell silent.

Not to mention that Konoha Village has never had such a precedent of being attacked, even considering his pride as a ninja, he would never willingly hand over the person.

However... the current situation is that their Konoha Village... may really be in danger...

The six people in front of me are all incredibly powerful...

What should I do...?

"I'm on fire! Roar!"

Then a roar was heard, and someone leaped into the air and kicked away the Pain clone that could absorb ninjutsu...

It was Kai, who had opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation.

Even Pain, the Deva Path, widened his eyes slightly at this moment...

Who is this guy? How could he do something like this...?
