Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

"Tell me Naruto's whereabouts, and I'll spare your lives."

Inuzuka Tsuru laughed loudly: "God? Angel?"

"These guys are a bunch of lunatics!"

Aoko Shimi's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

"That being said, the Akatsuki members do indeed possess unique abilities, making them quite troublesome..."

Inuzuka Tsuru sneered, "Hmph, even so, we absolutely must stop her!"

At this moment.

the other side.

Iruka Umino is in charge of relocating the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and innocent villagers.

They finally managed to get the last batch of ninja school children to a safe place.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine!

"Um?!"

Before he could turn around, his right hand, which was reaching for his ninja tool pouch, was suddenly grabbed!

A chilling, bone-deep fear instantly spread throughout my body!

"You, who are you?!"

The voice coming from behind was as if the Way of Heaven were indifferent and unkind.

"tell me--"

"Where's Uzumaki Naruto?"

Teacher Iruka felt a sudden chill run down his spine!

"So, they really came for Naruto?"

He knew he was probably doomed.

However, in that dying moment, Iruka-sensei revealed a relieved smile.

"Hey……"

Pain, the Deva Path, couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Was what I said funny?"

Iruka glanced back and looked as if he were seeing a statue of a god. An unparalleled sense of terrifying oppression rushed over him. Those eyes of the Sage of Six Paths were like black holes that made people sink into them, and like high mountains that suppressed all living beings.

But his fear disappeared.

"It's not just funny, it's absolutely hilarious."

"You may possess godlike power, but unfortunately you don't understand what a real human being is."

"Naruto, he..."

"Not just my student, but also my companion, my friend, even..."

"Just like my child!"

Have you ever seen a parent sell out their own child?!

This moment.

Not only Pain, but even Nagato, who was manipulating everything behind the scenes, couldn't help but shrink his pupils!

Even if he calls himself a god, he is still just a human being.

He felt as if he had returned to that day in his childhood...

The father and mother fought with all their might to protect him in that life-or-death moment when he was told to escape quickly...

A surge of grief and indignation, a feeling long forgotten, welled up within Nagato.

But this grief and indignation quickly turned into a raging inferno.

However, Pain's face remained completely expressionless.

"Treat Naruto Uzumaki as your own child?"

"So……"

"If he kills you, he'll probably understand a little bit about pain..."

Iruka smiled slightly.

"Naruto understands pain very well. How many people in this ninja world haven't experienced pain?"

"The important thing is the choice made after the pain..."

"Kill me. I'm just a useless ninja from Konoha. If I can die protecting Naruto, that would be the most meaningful way for me to die. I'd die with a smile on my face..."

Pain's expression remained indifferent.

A black rod had already appeared in his palm, and it stabbed fiercely towards Iruka!

In the blink of an eye—

boom! ! !

A hand appeared at just the right moment and firmly grasped the black rod that was being thrust down!

unbreakable!

Teacher Iruka was taken aback: "You, you are..."

"Kakashi?!"

Kakashi Hatake said in a deep voice, "Killing this person would make Naruto very sad."

"As a teacher, I absolutely cannot bear to see my students experience that kind of pain again..."

Even in Pain's Heavenly Path's Rinnegan, a ripple finally appeared.

"Kakashi Hatake..."

"I've heard of you."

Kakashi smiled and said, "Oh? That's an honor..."

"Teacher Iruka, please leave here."

Although Iruka-sensei was somewhat worried, he understood that staying would only be a burden, so he could only nod.

"Kakashi...be careful!"

"I see."

Iruka-sensei glanced back at Kakashi, gritted his teeth, and went to protect the children, doing his part...

Pain said indifferently, "You are an important figure in Konoha Village, so you must know the whereabouts of the Seven-Tails and the Nine-Tails."

"tell me."

Kakashi Hatake abruptly deflected the black rod that was thrusting towards him with a kunai.

The figure retreated instantly at great speed, leaving two deep marks on the ground with its feet.

He gently lifted the eyepatch over his left eye, revealing his blood-red Sharingan.

"Just as Teacher Iruka said..."

"You really don't understand anything."

"What teacher would betray their student?"

Pain seemed slightly moved, but his face remained as cold as the heavens.

"In that case, you can die too."

Kakashi's Sharingan unleashed powerful ocular energy, his kunai spun slightly in his hand before he gripped it tightly again, and he took a deep breath.

"Perhaps I will die, but..."

"Your scheme will never succeed."

boom--

The two unleashed powerful chakra simultaneously and charged towards each other at lightning speed!

……

Tsunade stood atop the Hokage Building, gazing at the battle unfolding throughout the village, her brow furrowed and her expression growing increasingly grim.

"It seems we underestimated Payne's power!"

"How could they have managed to create such panic and unrest throughout the entire village!"

Shizune quickly replied, "Because we had a drill beforehand, we handled it very well. Although there was some initial panic, the situation is now gradually under control..."

"However, Payne's abilities are still unknown, and there may be some unpredictable developments..."

"Lady Tsunade, I'm thinking..."

"Should we recall Jiraiya-sama, or even..."

"Naruto and the others?"

The secret agents behind him were taken aback.

"Lord Hokage, it's only right that Lord Jiraiya is recalled, but Naruto..."

"Recalling Naruto under these circumstances is too risky!"

Tsunade hesitated slightly as well.

In the original work, Tsunade summoning Naruto was a huge gamble.

Because at that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and even Kakashi were no longer in the village...

However, these people are still here now.

The situation is completely different.

Shizune pondered for a moment: "The Anbu are right. Naruto is the safest person at Mount Myōboku, and the battle situation in the village is under control. With Jiraiya's help, we should be able to handle it..."

Tsunade sighed: "Alright, then we won't recall Naruto for now."

at this time.

"Lord Hokage!"

A liaison officer rushed forward and said urgently, "Message from Kirigakure! They've also been attacked by Akatsuki! The enemies are Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha!"

Tsunade frowned: "As expected, they're going all out this time, fighting with their backs against the wall!"

"However, with Guy and his men in Kirigakure, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure also sending reinforcements, there shouldn't be any problems..."

"Silence, notify the frogs remaining in Konoha to immediately use the Reverse Summoning Technique to recall Jiraiya!"

"Yes! Tsunade-sama!"

Since Naruto and Jiraiya left, Tsunade has kept the frogs from Mount Myōboku in the village as a precaution, so that they can be summoned back in times of crisis.

Without hesitation, Tsunade quickly formed hand seals and activated her ability.

"Psychic art!"

Suddenly, a gigantic slug split off and landed in front of the Hokage Building. Its size was comparable to, or even larger than, the Hokage Building!

This is Tsunade's all-out effort!

"Lady Tsunade, what's going on?!"

"No time for this nonsense!"

"Slug, split quickly and protect the ninjas and villagers! The area covered is the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Soon, the giant slug split apart as if a small mountain had collapsed, and thousands upon thousands of smaller slugs immediately surged outwards like a tidal wave...

at the same time.

boom--
