Naruto: The Ridiculously Talented Uzumaki

Chapter 325: That Is All

No matter how powerful an attack is, it is useless if it cannot hit its target.

Naruto threw the black rod in his left hand to the side, and then threw the wooden sword to the right.

The next second, he appeared at the location of the black rod that had flown out of the attack range, then manifested another black rod and threw it at Obito.

The laser cannon suddenly shifted direction and attacked towards the position of the black rod.

Obito calmly took a Kunai from the ninja tool pouch at his waist and threw it towards the direction of the wooden sword.

He was certain that Naruto had not left any Flying Thunder God Mark at other locations, and in mid-air, he would be unable to borrow force to dodge the Chakra laser cannon.

Upon noticing the laser cannon turning, Naruto instantly appeared beside the wooden sword.

"Swish!"

Golden light flashed once more, and Naruto’s figure instantly appeared beside the wooden sword stuck on the edge of the stone monument to the right!

He accurately grabbed the hilt of the wooden sword.

"As expected!"

A gleam flashed in Obito’s eyes; Naruto had chosen the wooden sword’s coordinates.

The opponent had no other Flying Thunder God Mark, and his Kunai had already arrived!

However, Naruto’s reaction was faster than imaginable.

The moment he grabbed the wooden sword, he flicked his wrist, the blade turning into a blurry arc of light. With a crisp "ding," he accurately knocked the Kunai thrown by Obito out of the air.

While knocking away the Kunai, Naruto suddenly exerted force with the arm holding the wooden sword, fiercely throwing it towards the center of the platform where Obito and Nagato were.

The wooden sword spun, carrying a whistling wind, and shot straight towards the two!

Obito snorted inwardly, preparing to swing his gunbai to swat it away.

But Naruto’s attack went far beyond this.

The moment the wooden sword left his hand, Naruto’s hands had already completed a dazzling sequence of hand Seals in front of his chest!

The speed was so fast it left afterimages!

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique!"

Seeing that wooden sword flying in mid-air, the layer of special Chakra that Naruto had pre-attached was suddenly activated!

The wooden sword’s blade instantly split and multiplied!

One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred became a thousand!

In the blink of an eye, thousands of wooden longswords, identical to the original one, were like a storm of death arrows exploding out of thin air, dense and overwhelming, covering the entire airspace in front of Obito and Nagato, shooting down with piercing shrieks!

Each wooden sword contained sharp Chakra, enough to easily pierce through rock!

The Wood Release creation combined with the explosive quantity of the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

This was a saturation attack with an extremely large range, extremely high density, and both physical piercing and Chakra damage.

Facing this unavoidable rain of blades, Nagato stepped forward without hesitation, blocking in front of Obito and raising his untransformed left hand, palm facing outward.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The wooden swords were repelled, subsequently landing on the ground near and far, then piercing the ground and beginning to take root, turning into huge wooden spikes.

The vast majority of the wooden swords were mercilessly repelled and shattered the instant they made contact with the Shinra Tensei repulsive force field.

Wood chips scattered and flew like green snowflakes.

The few wooden swords that broke through the outermost repulsive force and had slightly reduced speed were also completely pushed away by the subsequent repulsive wave.

Shinra Tensei successfully defended against this seemingly unsolvable saturation attack.

However, it seemed Naruto’s attack still had a follow-up.

Those wooden sword fragments or intact wooden swords that had been repelled by Shinra Tensei, were not completely destroyed, and had scattered on the ground or stone monuments near and far around Obito and Nagato, did not stop moving after landing.

They looked like seeds possessing life, their blades suddenly plunging into the hard stone surface of the Kamui Dimension, and immediately after, they began to take root, sprout, and grow wildly at an astonishing speed!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Sharp, thick, giant wooden spikes, like massive maces, broke out of the stone from the ground, from the sides of the stone monuments, and even from fragments that hadn’t yet landed in the air, rapidly shooting upward!

"Go."

Nagato’s voice carried unquestionable decisiveness!

He didn’t hesitate in the slightest, reaching back and accurately grabbing Obito’s shoulder.

At the same time, he exerted force with his feet, using the temporary support and strength provided by "Tobi," and pulled Obito, leaping without hesitation towards the edge of the high platform, in the direction where the wooden spikes were relatively sparse and below which was a deeper region of cubic stone pillars.

Their figures, like two trapped beasts driven into a desperate situation, plummeted rapidly from the edge of the high platform, narrowly avoiding the joint attack of the wildly growing wooden spikes behind them.

The sharp wooden spikes grazed their clothing, kicking up a fierce whistling wind.

Amidst the weightlessness of the fall, Nagato’s brain was running at an astonishing speed.

Using the Six Paths of Pain had trained his super-strong information processing ability, and he himself was a "six-mind-in-one" Genius capable of precisely controlling the Six Paths of Pain simultaneously and conducting six-line combat.

Even though he didn’t have the six Puppet Clones at this moment, when fighting independently, that ultimate control over Chakra, Ninjutsu, and battlefield details, along with his multi-threaded thinking ability, were actually manifested even more vividly.

Just now, when he used Shinra Tensei to repel the sky full of wooden swords, he wasn’t just simply outputting repulsive force.

He had split a portion of his mind and Chakra to secretly attempt another thing.

He had mobilized the Asura Path ability that had returned to his Main Body, and inside his body wrapped by "Tobi," he used the power of the Asura Path to construct a temporary "mechanical armor" and created four hands.

He attempted to activate the Animal Path’s Summoning Jutsu, intending to summon other powerful Spirit Beasts to deal with the dangerous situation or assist in escaping.

However, the result of the attempt made his heart sink.

"The previous Spirit Beasts... none of them can be summoned."

Nagato’s expression was ugly.

He clearly perceived that the Spiritual link and summoning contract between himself and those Rinnegan Spirit Beasts—the Multi-Headed Dog, Giant Crustacean, Chameleon, Giant Bird, Giant Bull, and Panda—had been severed.

Was it sealed by those huge wooden figures?

Nagato immediately thought of those huge wooden figures Naruto had summoned earlier on the Hidden Stone Village battlefield that had fought fiercely with Pain’s Spirit Beasts.

In the end, he could only barely sense and summon two relatively ordinary Spirit Beasts, or rather, two Spirit Beasts with a slightly lower rank in the summoning sequence.

"Poof! Poof!"

Two not-too-loud puffs of white smoke exploded below the trajectory of their fall!

Summoning Jutsu: Rhinoceros!

Summoning Jutsu: Centipede!

"Can I only summon these two..."

A trace of helplessness flashed through Nagato’s heart, but there was more of a strange, long-lost "sense of focus."

In the past, when controlling the Six Paths of Pain, although he could process six perspectives and six abilities simultaneously, his spirit was dispersed, and each "Pain" was more like an independent "terminal" under his remote control.

But now, all the Rinnegan abilities were gathered in one body, and all decisions, tactics, and Chakra control were directly completed by his one and only brain.

There was no delay, no information transmission loss, and no limitations from the performance of Puppet bodies.

Every release of Ninjutsu, every mobilization of Chakra, and every change in tactical intent was as smooth as commanding one’s own arm.

"Is this the feeling of fighting alone?"

Nagato’s Rinnegan flickered slightly in the falling wind.

Although the situation was critical and his body was weak, he faintly regained a hint of that "sense of purity" from back in the days before he had created Pain, when he fought side-by-side with Yahiko and Konan, the feeling of concentrating all power within himself and coordinating closely with companions.

Of course, at this moment, there was only Obito, who had a complicated stance and was seriously injured, which could not be compared to the bonds of the past, but this "mystery" of absolute control over his own power and complete tactical autonomy gave him a unique experience.

Perhaps... if his body were healthy, and he could be like this now, integrating all Rinnegan abilities and going into battle himself, and then coordinating with Konan and Yahiko... unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

In the flash of his thoughts, the two had already landed on the broad and solid back of the Rhinoceros below, temporarily stabilizing their figures.

The huge Centipede was swimming flexibly around them, vigilantly watching the edge of the high platform above, as well as those wooden spikes that might pursue them.

Obito clutched the wound on his abdomen, his face even paler from blood loss and Pain, but his eyes remained sinister.

He glanced at Nagato beside him, then looked up towards the high platform, at that golden figure who was looking down at them.

"This guy is much more troublesome than expected."

Obito said in a deep voice: "We don’t need to kill him. After we get further away, we will use Kamui to escape from here. We can also avoid the opponent’s Clone outside."

Nagato did not answer immediately. He stood on the Rhinoceros’s back and slowly raised his right hand. The laser cannon condensed and charged again, aiming at Naruto on the high platform.

In the Rinnegan, the light of determination and paranoia re-condensed.

"I understand."

Nagato’s voice was hoarse and firm.

"But before that... at least make him pay a price!"

Above on the high platform, Naruto looked down at the two who had landed on the Rhinoceros’s back, as well as the swimming Centipede, with not much ripple on his face.

He gently flexed his wrist, a light of contemplation flashing in his heterochromatic eyes.

"Multi-tasking and independent combat are indeed much more flexible than controlling Puppets."

Naruto commented in a low voice, "However, that is all."
