Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

After a golden, triangular barrier shimmered into place, Kiba and the others were shielded by Tsunade standing protectively behind them.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Kiba pounded the cracked earth beneath him, eyes blazing with grief and fury. The ruins of Konoha stretched before him, smoking and broken. "Unforgivable!"

Tsunade slumped down, her breathing heavy. The Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead had vanished, and she was utterly drained. She had exhausted her chakra protecting hundreds of villagers through Katsuyu's division.

"Back off!" Tsunade shouted, her voice hoarse. "Let me handle this!"

But Kiba and Hinata stepped forward slowly, determination etched into their faces.

"You're no match for him!" Tsunade's eyes widened in alarm.

"And neither are we alone," came three more voices.

Tsunade turned around to see Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji Hyūga rushing to their side.

Might Guy stepped in front of Tsunade, arms crossed.

Neji turned to him and said, "Sensei Guy, please take care of Lady Hokage."

Guy flashed his iconic grin, thumbs up and teeth gleaming. "Don't worry! I'll protect her with the fires of youth!"

"Guy!" Tsunade barked. "Convince them to back off!"

"No need!" Guy laughed. "Let's believe in them just this once. The future depends on the next generation! These are Naruto's comrades!"

"You…" Tsunade fell silent, heart heavy.

Far from the village, Deva Path Pain slowly rose from the crater. Asura Path hurled Naraka Path into the air.

"Summoning Technique!"

Boom! The remaining five Pains descended from the sky, landing around Deva Path. The Six Paths of Pain stood assembled atop the rubble of Konoha, unscathed, expressionless.

"It seems... you've begun to understand a glimpse of pain," Deva Path said coldly, "but I'm not here for you."

Asura Path burst forward toward the advancing shinobi. "It's Uzumaki Naruto I want!"

Lee stepped ahead, three blades sheathed at his waist. His eyes were sharp. "You've done this to Konoha…"

"Unforgivable!" His chakra flared violently, a brilliant green flame erupting around him. His hand gripped the hilt of the first blade.

In a blink, Lee vanished.

Swish!

He appeared behind the charging Asura Path, slowly sliding the black blade back into its sheath.

"Single Blade Style — Black Blade: Death, Lion's Song."

Ding~

The moment the blade clicked into the scabbard, Asura Path split cleanly down the middle, collapsing in pieces to the ground.

"So fast!" Deva Path's eyes narrowed at Lee's speed.

"You don't need the Hokage to deal with trash like you," Neji muttered coldly, eyes scanning the enemy.

He turned slightly. "Lady Hokage, please fall back and enjoy some tea."

Shikamaru, watching from a distance, turned to a Hyūga ninja nearby. "What's going on? It's too far — I can't see clearly."

The Chūnin from the Hyūga clan muttered in awe, "Insane… that Path of Pain was sliced in half in just a split second."

Deva Path gritted his teeth. "I can't use Shinra Tensei again for a while… Tch."

The remaining Paths repositioned quickly. Human Path, Naraka Path, and Preta Path formed a shield around Deva Path, while Animal Path stood behind to form a full defensive array.

"Summoning Technique!" Animal Path slammed their palm to the ground.

A massive rhinoceros burst forward, charging with deadly momentum.

Lee calmly unsheathed the remaining two blades. His green chakra twisted and hardened into black flames, like condensed will.

"Two-Sword Style…" Lee held the twin blades before him like horns, mirroring the beast's. "Torture!"

He leapt directly at the charging beast and cleaved upward — slicing the massive rhino straight into the air in a single motion.

"Summoning Technique!" Animal Path summoned again — this time, a fierce pit bull and a colossal three-headed dog.

Neji and Hinata glanced at one another, nodding.

Neji stepped forward. "Whirlwind Palm! Vacuum Air Fist!"

Hinata followed, "Flowing Water Palm! Vacuum Burst Strike!"

With a simultaneous stomp, chakra burst from beneath their feet. Their palms thrust forward, intercepting both incoming summons in a massive concussive blast.

Boom!

Both the pit bull and three-headed dog halted mid-charge.

Neji and Hinata cried in unison, "We're not done yet!"

Their hands blurred, striking in synchronized bursts. The massive summons were pummeled repeatedly until they burst into clouds of smoke, vanishing.

"Kiba!" Neji and Hinata shouted.

"Got it!" Kiba roared, "Akamaru!!"

Akamaru let out a drawn-out sigh. "…So the move depends on me again, huh."

With a loud bark, "Woof!" Akamaru transformed into a colossal three-headed dog, chakra rippling.

Each head opened wide, launching elemental attacks — wind, fire, and lightning — straight toward Pain.

Tenten charged beside the flaming barrage, drawing her signature weapon, Senbonzakura, from her scroll.

"Be careful!" Tsunade called out. "Their Rinnegan allows shared vision!"

Tenten halted suddenly and stabbed her blade into the ground. Senbonzakura slowly sank beneath the earth.

"So what if they share vision?" she smirked. "Then they can't escape."

"Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

Hundreds of giant blades erupted from the ground around her. In a shimmering storm, the blades shattered into countless cherry blossom-shaped fragments — glowing, spinning, surrounding the Paths of Pain like a deadly blizzard.

Deva Path's eyes widened. "What kind of blade is this?!"

Human Path, Naraka Path, and Animal Path jumped backward, but Tenten pointed calmly. "Dance."

The blades surged forward, surrounding the three in massive spheres of floating cherry blossoms. Inside, the slivers of metal zipped in every direction.

"Bankai: Evening Scene — Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

The three Pains were sliced apart in a heartbeat, collapsing to the ground with no sound.

Deva Path stared, expressionless. "I understand now… You've learned techniques from Naruto."

"You mean Naruto-senpai?" Tenten asked in surprise.

"I learned jutsu from Naruto too," Deva Path admitted. "He was once my teacher. Which means… I'm your senior. We are from the same school. You should understand — Naruto always pursued peace."

"Don't be ridiculous!" Neji shouted.

Tenten, Lee, Neji, Hinata, and Akamaru stood side-by-side, glaring.

Kiba's face twitched. ": ???"

The four humans and one dog shouted:

"Look at what you've done! Does this look like peace to you?!"

The lingering blades of Senbonzakura hovered around Deva Path, transforming into glowing, elongated pink sabers.

Lee drew his last blade and bit down on it.

From Akamaru's body, the black flames of Amaterasu began to rise, swirling ominously.

Neji and Hinata stepped into position, forming a synchronized Twin Lion Fist pose.

Deva Path sneered. "You see only the tree, not the forest. You fail to grasp the meaning of peace. Accept death. Once I capture Naruto's son, true peace will reign…"

"We said stop joking!" everyone shouted together.

Tenten: "Bankai: Mirror Scene — Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

Lee: "Three-Sword Style Secret Art — Great Thousand Worlds!"

Neji & Hinata: "Whirlwind Flowing Water Vacuum Strike!"

Akamaru: "Woof!!"

Everyone turned to Akamaru.

"...What?" he barked, flustered. "What are you looking at?! I'm just a dog!"
