Rain Ninja Village center, the top of the tallest spire.
"Okay."
As Nagato's words fell, Konan, with her light purple hair and wearing a Black and Red Cloud Robe, responded softly. Immediately, her entire figure slowly transformed into white paper and disappeared on the spot.
The paper pieces danced in the air, gradually folding into paper butterflies, spreading out in all directions throughout the Rain Ninja Village.
In addition to reconnaissance, Konan began issuing orders to mobilize the entire Rain Ninja Village's forces.
Nagato glanced at the departing Konan, then used the Akatsuki's internal ring to notify the core members of the Akatsuki currently inside the Rain Ninja Village, preparing them to face the enemy, through thought waves.
Afterward, he personally controlled Pain, beginning to awaken the remaining Six Paths of Pain one by one.
A great battle was imminent!
On the other side, Naruto and his group, who had openly entered through the main gate of the Rain Ninja Village, proceeded as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Although the Rain Ninja Village was now under a high degree of martial law, with fixed patrols at almost every location, they were completely unable to stop Naruto and his group's intrusion.
Whether they were Genin, Chunin, or Jonin, the only fate for those who wanted to come forward and block Naruto and the others after seeing them was to be hung on the walls by the power of the gale, knocked unconscious by the impact.
And the Kunai, Shuriken, and Ninjutsu they unleashed could not escape the same fate.
Nearby, Kakashi, watching Naruto use Chakra in this way, couldn't help but twitch his eye.
Kakashi wasn't incapable of using Wind Release of this scale, but it would drain most of his Chakra with just one use.
But Naruto was using it continuously, even carrying seven people with him. Although Kakashi knew Naruto's Chakra reserves were vast, this was not how it should be used; it was too wasteful.
Conservatively estimating, from the start of their journey until now, Naruto had used at least three hundred times his own Chakra reserves in just a few minutes.
It should be known that even in the battle with Kisame a few days ago, Kakashi had only used twenty times his own Chakra reserves.
If Kakashi's Chakra reserves were increased three hundred times, he would even have the confidence to accomplish the feat of single-handedly holding off an army, just like the Third Raikage had done.
Therefore, Kakashi opened his mouth to remind him, "Naruto, you're wasting Chakra like that. Don't exhaust your Chakra before you even see the main opponent. Let us down and let's fight together."
Aside from Sasuke, everyone else nodded in agreement.
For ninjas, there was no such thing as having too much Chakra, so every battle was carefully calculated.
Even though everyone present was considered a strong individual, belonging to the category of those with abundant Chakra reserves, none of them were so extravagant. They were about to face a powerful enemy, and even someone as strong as Naruto should be cautious.
Only Sasuke, who was in the process of transforming his physique into a Sage Body and had opened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, his own Chakra reserves having exploded but still unable to compare with Naruto, curled his lip.
He said, "You know nothing about Naruto's Chakra reserves."
Naruto raised his hand, manipulating the gale to hang all one hundred and twenty-eight Rain Ninjas and passersby who had witnessed their presence on the walls. Only then did he have time to answer Kakashi's question.
"You say exhaust Chakra? But I haven't consumed any Chakra at all."
Naruto's words were a critical hit.
Amidst the incredulous expressions of the others, Naruto said, "Besides Kurama being able to provide me with Chakra support, my own Chakra recovery speed is also very fast."
"Honestly, the consumption of those Wind Release Ninjutsu just now wasn't even as fast as my recovery."
Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Although the amount of Chakra doesn't necessarily represent combat power, for a powerhouse like Naruto, the amount of Chakra can indeed be converted into real combat power, and every Ninjutsu he unleashes possesses terrifying destructive power.
At this moment, Terumi Mei affirmed an idea in her heart.
Terumi Mei had previously considered the possibility that the entire Hidden Mist Village combined might not be enough to take on Naruto alone, but knowing that a ninja's Chakra reserves are limited, Terumi Mei wasn't sure.
But now, seeing Naruto's terrifying endurance, she can be completely sure that Naruto has the strength to face an entire village alone.
If there isn't a master strong enough to match him and stop Naruto, numbers are meaningless in front of him.
Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya had long known of Naruto's strength, and were only slightly shocked by his Chakra reserves at this moment, even feeling that it was only natural for Naruto to possess such Chakra.
Otherwise, there would be no way for him to possess such great strength at such a young age.
And another person who felt the deepest was Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who has been studying Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan for many years, can better understand what Naruto's terrifying amount of Chakra means. This is not just a difference in strength, but also a difference in the essence of life.
Although Orochimaru once thought that Naruto was very strong, he wasn't sure if he could be stronger than the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan and could easily suppress him as well.
But at this moment, Pain's chances of winning against Naruto are highly questionable.
"Perhaps, the research value of Naruto's cells now is no less than that of Hashirama Cells." Unconsciously, this thought emerged in Orochimaru's mind, and the look in his eyes towards Naruto unconsciously carried some fanaticism.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to study it.
And this is what Orochimaru regrets the most.
Ten minutes later, Naruto and the others finally broke into the core area of the Rain Ninja Village, and three minutes earlier, no ninjas had come to stop Naruto and the others.
Obviously, they discovered that the enemy was invading directly from the gate.
Here, Naruto placed the six people beside him on top of a high tower and stopped.
Because, the very large Chakra he sensed was in the tower in front of him. If Naruto guessed correctly, the owner of this Chakra should be his clansman Nagato.
In addition, there are other powerful Chakra presences around, and they should belong to the remaining core members of the Akatsuki.
As for the weaker ninjas, at this time, except for the Jonin who barely had the qualifications to participate in the war, all the others were dismissed.
And even these ninjas who stayed behind were only there to boost the momentum. Nagato, as the leader of the organization, did not intend to let them participate in the war.
After Naruto and his party stood still, Nagato, as the host, did not continue to hide.
Under the gaze of everyone, Deva Path Pain, wearing a Black and Red Cloud Robe, led the remaining five Pain Six Paths.
Along with Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, Hidan, Konan, and Kisame, they slowly stepped out of the shadows and appeared in front of everyone.
