Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Naruto stared at him with a cold expression.

" He is the leader of the Akatsuki."

" What?!..." Jiraiya sighed." He was like you once, a child full of hope. But the war... I couldn't save him, I thought he was dead."

—" Then perhaps you are the cause of all this. Maybe you're not so different from Orochimaru."

Before Jiraiya could respond, a series of silhouettes appeared around them, their black cloaks adorned with red clouds standing out against the grey sky of Amegakure. Nagato, still hidden behind , stood at the center, accompanied by Karin, Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Tobi...

— " Naruto," Nagato began, his voice resonating in the humid air, "you now know the truth. It's time for you to make a choice."

Jiraiya instinctively stepped in front of Naruto.

— "Nagato! Don't involve him in your plans. This is between you and me."

Nagato ignored him, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on Naruto.

— "Join us, Naruto. Together, we can overthrow this corrupt system and build a world where the Uzumaki will never be enslaved again."

— "Nagato!" thundered Jiraiya.

But Naruto remained still. His gaze shifted between Jiraiya and Nagato, torn between the truth he had just heard and the one he had always known.

— "Naruto, "Nagato continued, his voice soft yet urgent. "Everything you've ever wanted—a family, a home, peace—you can have it. But only if you agree to break free from Konoha's chains."

Jiraiya turned to Naruto, desperation in his eyes.

— "Naruto, listen to me. Nagato is manipulating you. What he wants is not peace, it's destruction."

But Naruto had already made up his mind.

— "No!"Naruto shouted.

— "Naruto, wait!" Jiraiya cried, but it was too late.

*Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!*

Hundreds of Naruto's clones appeared, surrounding Jiraiya. The rain intensified, as if mirroring the young ninja's fury.

Nagato made a gesture, and the Akatsuki members took up their combat positions.

— "Nagato-san, stay out of this," Naruto said in a cold voice.

Jiraiya was distraught.

— " Naruto, what are you doing?!"

Naruto turned to him, his eyes filled with tears and rage.

— " I'm tired of your lies. I'm tired of not knowing who to trust. So I'll find the truth for myself, my way!"

Nagato gave a thin smile.

— "Then show me your conviction, Naruto Uzumaki. Prove to me that you're worthy of your heritage."

...

The relentless rain of Amegakure pounded the ground with a dull violence, as if reflecting the intensity of the impending confrontation. Naruto, his eyes burning with rage and pain, glared at Jiraiya with a piercing gaze. His chakra erupted from him like an untamed flame, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

— " Naruto, stop this! I don't want to fight you," Jiraiya pleaded, his face grave.

But Naruto wasn't listening. He gripped a kunai in his trembling hand, the cold metal vibrating under the intensity of his chakra.

— " Enough lies, Jiraiya! I'll settle this my way!" he roared, charging forward at full speed.

Jiraiya, though reluctant, assumed a defensive stance, ready to protect himself. Naruto rushed at him, swinging the kunai in a swift and precise arc. Jiraiya easily dodged, catching Naruto's wrist with impressive dexterity and disarming him with a fluid movement.

Naruto pivoted, using his other arm to deliver a punch aimed at Jiraiya's chin. The master barely dodged, countering with a circular kick that sent Naruto sliding in the mud.

— " Naruto, listen to me! This is not you! This anger, this hatred, it's not what your parents wanted for you!"

Naruto rose, his face contorted with fury.

— " Don't speak of them! You know nothing of what I feel!"

He leaped again, unleashing a series of rapid and brutal strikes. His movements were fueled by pure rage, but lacked finesse. Jiraiya, on the other hand, remained calm, blocking each attack with impressive mastery.

— " Naruto. Regain your composure!"

But Naruto, far from calming down, intensified his assaults. He feinted a punch and then attempted to sweep Jiraiya's legs. The latter jumped to avoid it, but Naruto used the momentum to leap into the air and try to deliver a knee strike to Jiraiya's torso.

Jiraiya intercepted the blow, catching Naruto mid-air and throwing him to the ground.

— "You can't beat me like this, Naruto. Stop before it's too late!"

But Naruto didn't give up. He pounded the ground with his fists, releasing a wave of chakra that shook the terrain.

— "Rasengan!"

Naruto, without hesitation, created a Rasengan in his hand and charged at Jiraiya. Surprised by the speed and intensity of the attack, Jiraiya barely dodged, the Rasengan exploding behind him in a torrent of destructive chakra.

— "He already has such mastery?!" Jiraiya murmured, amazed at the amount of chakra his former student was wielding.

Naruto created another Rasengan, and then another, launching them one after the other in a frenzy of raw power. Jiraiya had to use all his agility to avoid the successive explosions.

— "Naruto! Stop this! You'll hurt yourself!"

But Naruto was no longer listening. His chakra continued to grow, shining with an intense orange glow.

In a moment of pure rage, silver chains burst from his back, exploding with incredible force and rushing towards Jiraiya.

— "What...?! "Jiraiya exclaimed, taken by surprise.
