Chapter 317: Challenging a God, Reckless!
Deva Path Pain’s light purple Rinnegan coldly watched the provocative Naruto below as he slowly raised his right hand.
A pitch-black, smooth rod that seed to absorb all light pointed straight at Naruto.
His voice was like eternal ice, devoid of emotion yet carrying an unquestionable authority:
"A Mortal challenging a god—the act itself..."
He paused, the tip of the black rod seemingly condensing a cold sense of judgnt:
"...is reckless."
Following his words, the Human Path and Animal Path Pain, whose heads Naruto had previously twisted off, slowly walked out from the gaping maw of the King of Hell, the summoning beast of the Naraka Path.
Their bodies were as good as new, without even a tear in their clothes; only their eyes remained hollow, as if their recent "deaths" were rely an inconsequential replacent of parts.
The King of Hell’s "Samsara Resurrection Technique" could clearly repair damaged Pain Puppets in a short ti.
At this mont, the figures of the Six Paths of Pain gathered once more. Along with Konan in the air, seven gazes were locked onto Uzumaki Naruto! Clearly, after the initial clash, they had judged Naruto to be the most threatening core target that needed to be eliminated first.
Faced with Deva Path Pain’s high-and-mighty "declaration of godhood" and the oppressive pressure of the gathered Six Paths, Naruto showed no fear. Instead, he sneered, his eyes revealing undisguised contempt and arrogance.
"God?"
He shook his head, his voice clear and powerful.
"Your so-called god..."
He suddenly looked up, staring directly into Deva Path Pain’s Rinnegan. In that instant, his own eyes underwent a startling transformation!
His eyes, originally as blue as a clear sky and occasionally flashing with gold due to Tailed Beast Chakra or Battle Intent, suddenly developed complex patterns deep within the pupils.
The azure base was rapidly replaced by a crimson red.
At the center of the pupils, eerie black tomoe and the ripple patterns of the Rinnegan appeared simultaneously, rging perfectly.
With a red background, six tomoe were distributed in an inverted triangle pattern on the concentric circles!
The Six Tomoe Rinnegan!
"...is nothing more than parochial arrogance."
Imdiately after, an even more violent and blazing Battle Intent erupted from Naruto! He slamd his hands together in front of his chest—not to weave signs, but as a ritual to ignite the latent potential within his body!
"Let see..."
His voice carried a low tremor from the surging power, and the light in his red Rinnegan blazed intensely.
"...if this so-called god of yours, in the battle to co..."
"...can keep entertained!"
His final roar exploded like a clap of thunder!
"Gate of Shock, Open!"
Boom!
Chakra and life energy, several or even a dozen tis more violent than when the Gate of Life and Gate of Pain were opened, erupted frantically from every cell and ridian in Naruto’s body like a volcano suppressed for eons!
The gold-green steam around him was instantly replaced by pure, dazzling golden steam that looked like liquid gold!
This steam was as solid as flas and highly compressed. On the surface of his body, there was also a layer of a roaring golden energy cloak, emitting a terrifying heat and pressure that made the Soul tremble!
The air crackled from the heat, and the rocks beneath his feet even began to show signs of lting.
An even more startling change occurred in his appearance!
Due to the extre explosion of power, his already sowhat ssy dium-long golden hair was now being blasted upward by an invisible force, standing completely on end!
Strands of hair danced wildly in the golden steam. Combined with his lean, bare upper body with bulging muscles covered in golden energy, it ford a wild, unbridled, and Soul-shaking look of overwhelming Battle Intent!
So strong!
Is this guy really just a teenager?
Naruto took a scroll from his ninja tool pouch and unfurled it.
The Yaso Magatsukiri appeared.
Naruto gripped it in his hand and then exerted force with his feet.
The ground beneath him shattered, dust flew, and his aura dominated the landscape!
Wind-style Chakra coiled around the blade of the Yaso Magatsukiri like a spirit snake.
On the edge of the blade, light green air currents could be seen rotating at high speed.
Simultaneously, violent and swift Lightning-style Chakra instantly covered Naruto’s entire body like an electric net.
Outside the golden steam, another layer of flickering azure lightning was wrapped around him!
The lightning stimulated his nerves and muscles, pushing his already terrifying speed and reflexes from the Eight Gates’ Gate of Shock to an inconceivable Peak!
Blade wrapped in wind, body clad in lightning!
At this mont, Naruto transford into a destructive streak of light—wrapped in golden steam and blue lightning, holding a demonic blade spitting wind blades—moving so fast he was almost impossible to track, piercing straight toward Deva Path Pain at the core of the Six Paths of Pain!
Through the shared vision of the Six Paths of Pain, six pairs of Rinnegan used their ultra-high dynamic vision and information processing capabilities to barely catch and lock onto this golden-lightning figure, predicting his attack trajectory was aid straight at Deva Path’s face!
Deva Path Pain reacted just as swiftly.
The black rod he had been holding level was suddenly raised by a hair’s breadth, precisely parrying the predicted trajectory of the demonic blade’s strike.
The black rod was made of a special material, extrely hard and capable of disrupting Chakra; it was his most trusted weapon for both defense and offense.
This block should have been able to withstand the thunderous strike or at least deflect it.
However, the expected scene of a piercing tallic crash and flying sparks did not occur.
Just an instant before the black rod was about to collide with the demonic blade, the trajectory of Naruto’s incredibly fast figure underwent an extrely tiny yet masterful and logic-defying shift!
It wasn’t a simple change of moves, but rather... as if he had anticipated the opponent’s block from the very start and reserved a follow-up variation for it!
The demonic blade that should have struck the black rod flickered like a viper’s tongue, tracing a bizarrely small arc to bypass the block. At an extrely tricky angle, it slashed diagonally toward the opening on Deva Path Pain’s left side—the junction of his left arm and ribs—exposed by his raised arm!
Deva Path Pain’s pupils constricted!
In the nick of ti, relying on his startling combat instincts and the assistance of the Rinnegan, he forcibly twisted his body while swinging his left arm—originally intended for offense or defense—to block his ribs as fast as possible!
"Squelch!"
Although Deva Path had reacted, Naruto’s strike—which had anticipated the anticipation and followed a bizarre trajectory—was simply too fast and too powerful!
The Yaso Magatsukiri, extrely enhanced by Wind-style Chakra, severed Deva Path Pain’s hastily positioned left forearm without resistance!
Unlike the other two Pains Naruto had defeated, Deva Path’s arm was not purely chanical.
He likely had his internal organs modified; after all, this was Yahiko’s body.
Deva Path thrust the black rod in his right hand at Naruto again, but Naruto imdiately used the Flying Thunder God to depart.
Nagato, controlling from a distance, narrowed his eyes.
Why did the opponent suddenly change his move?
Did so kind of perception technique predict my movents?
Or is that an ability of those red Six Tomoe Rinnegan?
