["You simply don't understand the true aning of peace!"]
["Surrender obediently. Your death will bring peace."]
…
Upon hearing Pain (Deva Path)'s words, the entire ninja world erupted in anger.
"That's the Akatsuki? Destroying Konoha like that and calling it peace!?"
"They killed so many people, committed so many atrocities, and now they want to kill Naruto—claiming his death will bring peace!?"
"It's now confird: Akatsuki is a completely evil organization! They must be eliminated!"
"But Akatsuki is far too strong. Unless all villages unite!"
"But everyone uniting… that's practically impossible!"
…
The footage continued.
[Naruto hurled the Rasenshuriken while shouting in rage: "Didn't I tell you to stop joking!?"]
[The mont it touched a Pain body, it expanded imdiately!]
[A massive explosion followed!]
…
The ninja world was shocked once again.
"What? He actually threw it!?"
"NANI!? He can launch such dense, high-speed chakra like that!?"
"And it can expand!?"
"That jutsu's power is terrifying!"
…
The footage continued.
[Deva Path: "Just like that Deidara guy said, it seems you're not soone who listens to reason."]
…
Rain Country — Akatsuki Base
Tobi (Obito): "Deidara-senpai! You fought Naruto behind my back? Why didn't you take !?"
Deidara looked baffled.
"I said that? I ever interacted with Naruto? Hm?"
Sasori: "Stop arguing. That must be sothing that happens in the future."
Kakuzu: "Indeed. Just watch and learn. It's rare to see the Leader fight seriously."
…
The footage continued.
[Naruto and Deva Path continued fighting.]
[The Toads fought the various summon beasts of the Animal Path.]
[One by one, the other Paths were defeated.
Deva Path's powers finally recharged.]
[Naruto, who previously held the advantage, imdiately fell behind.]
[Fukasaku, who tried to perform a genjutsu duet with Shima, was killed by Deva Path.]
[Naruto was then immobilized by the black receivers stabbed throughout his body.]
[Deva Path began explaining his story—then the scene cut.]
[Everyone finally saw Uzumaki Nagato's true body.]
…
Ninja World
"So it's confird—the Animal Path woman isn't Nagato!"
"Nagato can control six incredibly strong Pain bodies. I thought the real body would be a monster!"
"But he looks like… like a sickly twig that could keel over any mont!"
"So that ans—if we can locate his real body, maybe we can steal his Transformation Pills!"
…
Upon seeing Nagato's real form,
intel departnts across every village went into a frenzy.
Especially Konoha's Intelligence Division.
"Imdiately identify the location shown where Nagato's real body is hidden!"
"Yes, sir!"
"And once we locate it, mark ALL areas around Konoha that match those features!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
Outside Konoha
Jiraiya stopped in shock.
"Nagato… your body and heart… did you end up like this because of ?"
"If I find you now… can things still be salvaged?"
…
The footage continued.
[Naruto was completely pinned down by Deva Path's black receivers.]
[Deva Path pushed more chakra into them, immobilizing Naruto further.]
[He activated the Rinnegan to perform a controlling technique.]

Inside the Shinigami's Stomach — Reaper Death Seal
Kushina: "Bastard!! How dare he treat Naruto like that!?"
"Honey, go! Go save Naruto and beat that bastard to death!"
Minato sighed helplessly.
"Kushina… we're already dead."
"No matter what he faces, Naruto can only rely on himself."
"Believe in him. He's our son."
…
The footage continued.
[Hinata, using her Byakugan, saw Naruto's condition—
and suddenly charged toward Deva Path.]
[Deva Path was forced to interrupt his jutsu to evade.]
[Hinata glanced at Naruto with deep pain in her eyes, then glared fiercely at Pain:
"So cruel! Using these rods to restrain Naruto like this!"]
[Hinata, eyes firm: "I won't let you lay another finger on Naruto!"]
…
Inside the Shinigami's Stomach
Kushina: "WOW, COOL! Who's that girl!?
She looks so soft and timid, yet she dares rush out to save Naruto—
that's TRUE LOVE!"
Minato: "K-Kushina… how do you know she likes Naruto?"
Kushina: "BAKA! Couldn't you see the look in her eyes!?
And charging in even knowing she's no match—that's love!"
Minato was speechless.
Was it really that obvious? He didn't see it at all!
To him, Naruto was the whole village's hope—
of course soone would try to save him.
But…
what about those still alive who didn't go help?
What were they doing…?
…
Chūnin Exam Arena — Konoha
Hinata saw her future self rushing out to defend Naruto
and blushed for the thousandth ti.
Future-her was amazing!
So beautiful…
and so bold!
If it were her current self—
even if she wanted to do it, she might not dare…
Naruto stared at Hinata in shock.
"Hinata! In the future, don't go save ! You'll die!"
Hinata: "N-Naruto-kun, I…"
I'm sorry, Naruto-kun…
I love you…
but this is one promise…
I cannot make.
The footage continued.
[Naruto, desperately worried: "Why did you co!? Run! You can't beat him!"]
[Hinata nodded softly: "This was my decision…"]
[Naruto scolded her anxiously: "What are you saying!?
Why would you co to such a dangerous place!?"]
[Hinata: "Because this is my choice.
This ti, I will help you."]
["I only knew how to cry…
I gave up before even trying…
I almost strayed off the right path many tis."]
["But every ti…
it was you, Naruto…
who brought back."]
