Chapter 503: Master and Disciple Meet

Naruto yelled Sasuke's name, and a horde of shadow clones rushed over to pull him.

Sasuke held his sword in his right hand and threw out a chain with his left, wrapping it around another large rock. Using both arms, he fought against the pull of the Universal Pull.

Faced with the swarm of Naruto's shadow clones grabbing his arms and legs, he cursed, "Idiot! Don't worry about me! He can't change his technique right now! Quick, attack him!"

When Naruto and Sasuke fought on the same side, there was usually a bonus to Naruto's intelligence. The closer they were, the higher the bonus.

Thinking about it now, it made sense!

Two shadow clones, along with his real body, immediately started forming the self-injurious "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken"!

Because his normal chakra output was insufficient, he couldn't throw his Rasenshuriken yet. He had to hold it in his hand and deliver it up close, at the cost of damaging his own chakra pathways and bones.

Naruto charged forward, yelling, holding the Rasenshuriken.

Just as the high-speeding Rasenshuriken was about to hit its target, the Preta Path, who had rushed over, opened his hands and, to Naruto's stunned expression, forcibly absorbed the jutsu.

The newly created Preta Path followed the tradition of the pretty boy band: red face, bald, and short and stocky.

Perhaps because of the Rasenshuriken, Tendo Pain was able to identify Naruto's real body. He ignored Sasuke and, with a wave of his hand, Naruto, his arm's pathways in severe pain and completely unprepared, was pulled by the gravitational force and flew uncontrollably toward him.

Sasuke, for what seemed like the hundredth time, cursed "idiot." With a shrug of his shoulders, his Mangekyō Sharingan activated. The ocular power in his eyes materialized, and a skeletal hand of the Susanoo appeared out of thin air, catching Naruto in mid-flight.

"You're getting in the way." Tendo Pain flicked his wrist, and a black rod appeared in his hand. Propelled by a repulsive force, he instantly appeared in front of Sasuke, the black rod stabbing fiercely at his heart.

The Mangekyō Sharingan had greatly increased Sasuke's speed. He showed no signs of panic. The Susanoo's skeletal hand threw Naruto far away like a piece of trash, and with a downward backhand, it smashed Tendo Pain into the ground.

"Go, Sasuke!" Sakura, holding Tonton, cheered for him from a distance.

Sasuke nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He couldn't stand the sight of pigs right now.

Seeing Tonton reminded him of the Rinnegan. Thinking of the Rinnegan reminded him of Itachi, and of the Uchiha secrets Itachi had told him before he died.

If Itachi knew that even a pig had the Rinnegan, he would probably die of anger, right? Our Uchiha clan has struggled for generations just to barely awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. In comparison, we're so pathetic!

Sasuke hadn't participated in the fight before, but he had seen the Six Paths of Pain wreaking havoc in the village.

All six of them had the Rinnegan! In his eyes, the Rinnegan was just too common. It was understandable for Madara Uchiha to have it, but the Six Paths of Pain and that pig too? He wouldn't even be surprised if Ino's eye sockets also sported the Rinnegan at some point. Wasn't it a standard ability? Didn't everyone have it?

Now you, Sakura, are bringing a pig over. Are you trying to get these two "Rinnegan big shots" to fight? Fine by me! A small fry like me with only a Mangekyō Sharingan will definitely make way for you!

"Oink, oink!" Tonton was scared of Sasuke and turned his head, burrowing into Sakura's arms.

Sakura quickly comforted him. She was just trying to help.

She had brought Tonton mainly because his bottom had a "Boar" character on it, which she knew was Ino's Flying Thunder God formula mark. She was thinking that in a crisis, she could use the great summoning jutsu to pull Ino over to save them.

At this moment, seeing Sasuke turn his head to look at her with a hostile expression, she even held up Tonton as if to show off her contribution, showing Sasuke the character on Tonton's butt.

Tendo Pain flicked open the Susanoo's skeletal hand. He raised his arm, and a black rod, flying over a dozen meters, shot toward Sakura like an arrow.

Sasuke, waiting for the "Rinnegan big shot" to show its power, didn't bother with Sakura. He continued to control the Susanoo's skeletal hand to attack Tendo Pain. Naruto couldn't watch Sakura die. He lunged forward and took the black rod with his arm.

Naruto was in immense pain. The black rod looked inconspicuous, but it was extremely sharp and also had the effect of sealing chakra pathways.

With it stuck in him, Naruto felt extremely weak. It took him a long time to pull the black rod out.

"Sakura-chan, get back! It's dangerous here!"

Sakura was very hurt, not understanding why Sasuke had just watched her nearly die.

Sasuke paid no attention to the two nuisances. He dispelled his Susanoo, infused his short sword with lightning-natured chakra, and launched a fierce, sharp attack on Tendo Pain.

After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Sasuke was sent flying by an Almighty Push.

The black rod Tendo Pain had shot at Sakura was once again blocked by Naruto's body.

He became a little interested.

"You are Naruto Uzumaki? I've heard Gaara mention your name. You are more reckless and impulsive than I expected." Nagato, controlling Tendo Pain, didn't attack rashly but stood behind the Preta Path tank and started a conversation.

"Recklessness can also be interpreted as determination. Acting impulsively when a comrade is attacked—from another perspective, isn't that a sign of cherishing one's comrades? The you who once wanted to save the Land of Rain with your own strength, weren't you just as reckless and impulsive as Naruto is now? Nagato." Jiraiya, wearing his Hokage hat, walked out from the shadows.

Master and disciple met, but there was not a trace of warmth left.

"Jiraiya-sensei, it's been a long time," Nagato said, controlling Tendo Pain to greet him.

"Ah, yes. It has been a long time, Nagato."

Jiraiya had gathered a lot of information from Konan and Ino. He wasn't about to look at Yahiko's corpse and call him Nagato.

"Sensei?" Two question marks appeared in Sasuke's mind. That title wasn't used casually.

Jiraiya didn't shy away from the topic and nodded lightly. "Yes, he was once my student."

Naruto's face lit up with realization. "The Pervy Sage's student? So... so he's the Fourth Hokage?"

Pfft! Ino, who was observing the battle through the Sensory Division, nearly spat out her tea. Naruto really has some nerve.

Jiraiya, annoyed, signaled for Naruto to stand back and not to speak nonsense. Don't go around randomly claiming fathers!

Nagato had little interest in reminiscing with Jiraiya. He still looked at Naruto.

He controlled Tendo Pain to say, "Naruto Uzumaki, you understand the misery of a jinchuriki better than anyone. Why do you have such a fate? Is it because you yourself are evil? No! You are just a weapon of the village, a weapon they specially created to maintain the balance of the five great villages. They see you as a tool and have never treated you as a person. All the suffering you have endured since you were young was bestowed upon you by the village system. Even now, as you stand here to resist me, in their hearts, you are still a menace, a beast that could lose control at any moment."
