Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

The battle had been raging for several minutes, with each second feeling like an eternity under the intense confrontation. Nagato, at the center of the chaos, unleashed the full power of the Six Paths of Pain, his Rinnegan eyes shining with a frigid glow. Shikai and Ino stood ready before him, fully aware of the colossal force they were up against.

Nagato raised a hand, activating the chikushōdō. An immense rhinoceros appeared in a burst of smoke, charging immediately towards Ino with an unexpected speed.

"Ino, keep the summons occupied! I'll take care of him!" Shikai shouted, his gaze fixed on Nagato.

Ino barely dodged the beast's attack, her tanto glowing with Suiton and Raiton chakra. She rolled to the side, adopting an agile stance.

"I'll handle it, be careful, Sensei!" she replied, leaping towards the rhinoceros and engaging in a fierce battle.

Shikai lunged at Nagato, using the hiraishin to appear instantly behind him. But Nagato, anticipating the move, activated the Shinra Tensei. A devastating wave of energy pushed Shikai violently, hurling him against a broken rock.

"Do you really think your speed will be enough?" Nagato asked, his voice icy.

Shikai stood up, wiping the blood flowing from his lip.

"This is just the beginning."

He quickly formed a Rasengan in his hand, combining Senjutsu chakra to bypass the absorption ability of the Gakidō. In a flash, he used the darkRay, moving at an incredible speed towards Nagato.

The impact was brutal. Nagato barely parried with a black stake, but the enhanced Rasengan exploded, sending both fighters flying backward.

"Interesting... Your Senjutsu is complicating things for me," Nagato admitted, observing his opponent.

Meanwhile, Ino faced a horde of summons. Multi-headed dogs, giant birds, and a massive bear stood against her.

"You're numerous."

Ino concentrated her chakra in her tanto, creating a blade enveloped in sharp Raiton. She moved swiftly, dodging the beasts' assaults while targeting their weak points.

She leaped onto the back of a giant bird, plunged her tanto into its wing, and released a Raiton chakra discharge. The bird screamed before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"One less," she murmured, turning towards the remaining creatures.

The summons continued to appear, each more ferocious than the last. Ino jumped with agility, dodging the snapping jaws of the multi-headed dogs and the massive claws of the bear. Her tanto shone intensely, each strike precise and lethal.

An enormous Cerberus split into multiple heads as she tried to slice it.

"This is getting complicated..." she murmured, panting.

She took a step back, briefly kneeling to catch her breath. The Cerberus and the massive bear approached slowly, their steps making the ground tremble.

"Sensei, you'll have to hurry..." she said, her gaze fixed on her opponents.

Ino quickly placed several explosives on the ground, hoping to slow down the beasts. As they advanced, she activated the seals, causing a resounding explosion. The impact pushed the summons backward, but they rose almost instantly.

Ino clenched her teeth.

"If I keep wasting chakra like this, I'll be drained..."

She formed rapid mudras and summoned a watery clone using her Suiton chakra. The clone charged directly at the beasts, while Ino hid in the shadow of a rock.

The clone engaged the Cerberus, dodging its fierce attacks. Ino took advantage of the distraction to sneak behind the massive bear. With a swift movement, she plunged her Raiton-enhanced tanto into the beast's nape.

The bear's roar echoed through the valley before it collapsed in a cloud of smoke.

"Two less," she murmured, catching her breath.

But before she could rejoice, an immense shadow fell upon her. The furious Cerberus charged at her, its numerous jaws snapping with a terrifying sound.

Meanwhile, Shikai and Nagato continued their relentless battle. Nagato's black stakes flew in all directions, forcing Shikai to use the Hiraishin multiple times to dodge.

Unperturbed, Nagato changed tactics and activated the Ningendō.

"I'll extract your soul and put an end to all this," he declared, his voice icy.

Shikai smiled slightly, despite the sweat beading on his forehead.

"You'd first have to catch me."

He formed a Senjutsu Rasengan in one hand and threw a marked kunai with the other. In an instant, he reappeared behind Nagato, attempting to strike with the Rasengan.

But Nagato activated the Shinra Tensei at close range, pushing Shikai with overwhelming force.

"You can't absorb Senjutsu, and you know it. I'll eventually hit you," he said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke—it was a clone.
