CHAPTER
420 - Battefield Konoha
While Naruto is perfecting his Frog Katas fighting moves
with Fukasaku in a
mock battle, the real thing is happening back in Konoha.
After arriving at the scene of an explosion, Iruka comes to the rescue
of an injured Leaf ninja when suddenly Peinn (Realm of God) appears
behind him. Pein coldly threatens to kill Iruka if he does
not tell him the location of the Nine Tails. When Iruka
refuses, Pein thrusts his black blade at him. Fortunately,
Kakashi arrives in time to intercept the blade and save
Iruka’s life. He tells Iruka to take the injured
ninja to safety while he takes care of Pein.
Pein wastes no time and immediately launches a
kick
which Kakashi avoids by ducking. Kakashi uses Doton:
Doryuheki to summon a wall of rock adorned by four dog heads behind
Pein. But Kakashi is unable to evade Pein’s next
attack and is pierced in his left shoulder by one of Pein’s
black blades. But Kakashi is
not fazed and immediately follows up with a Raikiri believing that Pein
would not be able to avoid it at such close range. But just
as he is about to land the blow, he suddenly senses the power of a set
of Rinnegan eyes glaring at him. Kakashi’s attack
misses as Pein was able to dodge to the side. Pein tells
Kakashi it is a pleasure to meet him, the copy ninja of Konoha, and
insists  again
on knowing the location of the Nine Tails. Kakashi tells him
it’s a stupid question to ask and attacks with a second
Raikiri. But a sudden burst of force from Pein knocks him
backwards and destroys his stone wall.
At toad mountain, Naruto takes a break with
Fukasaku while his wife goes to buy ingredients for dinner.
Fukasaku is
pleased at Naruto’s progress; he can now use sage chakra and
has mastered the frog katas and sanjutsu to a degree.
However, Fukasaku warns Naruto that using the Sage Arts is still a risk
for him. The big danger comes from the lengthy
preparation needed to collect enough nature’s energy
to transform into sage mode; it takes a long time and
requires Naruto to stand absolutely still, but this makes him a
defenceless target in actual combat. For Naruto to be able to use sage
mode in combat, he must have many allies to buy him some time or else
he will need to always
retreat to a safe place in order to gather the required
chakra. Fortunately, Fukasaku has an alternative for Naruto:
fusing their bodies. While Naruto has a grotesque mental
image of the result, Fukasaku assures him that he will simply fuse with
his shoulder like he did with Jiraiya during his last battle.
The advantage is that while Naruto is moving, Fukasaku can remain still
on his shoulder and help absorb energy.
Inside the autopsy lab, Shizune has finally found something
important about the black substance Pein uses as a weapon. It
is a device meant to receive and respond to chakra waves. And
since it just started heating up, Shizune knows it must be receiving
something right then. She is hurring to inform Tsunade when a powerful
explosion is heard in the distance. Shikamaru, Sakura and
Shiho hear it too and rush to action. At the same time,
Inoichi Yamanaka has reached a breakthrough in disassembling
Pein’s mind barriers inside the captured
Rain shinobi’s brain. Another huge explosion unleashed by
Demon Realm rocks Konoha, and Ino rushes in to tell her dad that Konoha
is under attack.
Tsunade can clearly see everything taking place
from her office. She immediately tells her ANBU agents to put
out an emergency warning. And after remembering Fukasaku’s
words about how Jiraiya has entrusted the future to Naruto,
“the child of prophecy”, Tsunade orders that Naruto
be called back.
