Chapter 65: The Destruction of Konoha

A/N - Hi everyone! Before you read, I'd like you to know of something important! I have just started a new story called: The Loser's Hero

It's a secret AU Naruto fanfiction I hope to one day get published in stores and online. The other book: Dare To Be Different, wasn't to my liking and so I scrapped the whole thing. This new book I'm liking so far so I'd really appreciate if you can head over to The Loser's Hero on this profile and comment, VOTE (so others who don't know it's secretly naruto fanfiction can become familiar with the book), and add it to your library or reading list.

If you wanna know which characters are which, head to my last update and check the information on there.

Now, please remember to comment and vote and enjoy ❤️

Chapter 65: The Destruction of Konoha

At Mount Myōboku, Naruto wondered whether the Akatsuki would ever attack Konoha just to find him, while Fukasaku assured him that no such thing would happen; even if it did, Kōsuke, the messenger toad, would alert them. Fukasaku then decided to begin training on the third and final step to using Sage Mode in battle - fusing Fukasaku on his shoulder.

In Konoha, Danzō alerted his Anbu Root unit that they would be hiding underground until Pain's assault came to an end, adding that they would not be providing any support as the village's crisis would result in his promotion to Hokage, and thus any casualties would be considered as sacrifices for the greater good.

Meanwhile, Inoichi continued his interrogation and probing of Yūdachi's mind, finding a memory in which Yūdachi and Ryūsui delivered a corpse to Konan, who was to deliver it to Pain himself. The Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force was then attacked by Pain's Animal Path, who summoned a giant rhino to destroy the building. Inoichi recognised her as the corpse in Yūdachi's memories, and fleed with Ino and Shizune, who were protected by Katsuyu; Shizune, however, wondered how that Pain was able to summon when Jiraiya had already defeated the one that could. Ibiki and the others decided to attempt defeating the Animal Path, who summoned a giant, a giant multi-headed dog and a giant snake-tailed chameleon. The Anbu unit attempted to defeat the dog, only for it to survive and continue its rampage.

Ibiki trapped the giant using his Summoning: Iron Maiden technique while binding the Animal Path and summoning a torture chamber. He attempted to use pain to extract information, only to realise that the Path's body was cold and responsive as a corpse. Easily breaking free of the shackles, Pain told Ibiki that he shall know what true pain is, and proceeded to his stomach as a conduit to summon a giant drill-beaked bird.

The Anbu unit attempted to defeat the giant multi-headed dog once more, only for the dog to break free again; the giant rhino also broke free of the Iron Maiden.

Back at Mount Myōboku, Fukasaku attempted to fuse with Naruto, only for the Nine-Tailed Fox to reject him, forcing Naruto to find an alternate method of acquiring natural energy during battle.

Naruto then attempted to run while gathering natural energy in order to test whether he can activate Sage Mode when on the move, only to fail. Fukasaku told him apologetically that the method would never work and claimed that Sage Mode was not for everyone. After seeing the message Jiraiya left on Fukasaku's back, Naruto tells him that it was also a message from Jiraiya telling Naruto to never give up. Fukasaku attempted to explain that the impossible simply couldn't be done, comparing it to looking left and right at the same time. Naruto was stunned when he heard those words and exclaimed that there was a way after all.
