Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 120 Pain, We, the Three Sannin, bestow upon you the title of Demigod.
Carrying Naruto, Jiraiya ran through the mountains and forests.

Without stopping for a moment, Tsunade walked alongside him.

We haven't gone far from Amegakure.

Although it didn't rain today, there is still a lot of moisture in this mountain forest.

The ground was muddy, and in many places there was puddles, which in some places even formed streams.

Chakra gathers at the soles of his feet, so even when running on the water's surface, he can barely make a splash.

Tsunade didn't even suggest stopping to rest. It was alright when she faced Konan, but it wouldn't be so simple if she faced Pain.

It would be best to rush back to Konoha in one go.

Now that we've rescued Naruto from Amegakure, we can't let him go back there.

Actually, Tsunade's gaze became somewhat complicated when she saw Naruto.

Naruto and Nawaki look somewhat alike.

In addition, the screen said that her grandfather was Naruto's past life.

In other words, is Naruto the reincarnation of her grandfather?

But her grandfather's soul is still in the Pure Land, as evidenced by Hashirama Senju in the Naruto chat group.

If Naruto is said to be the reincarnation of her grandfather's chakra, it's just chakra; it's as if her grandfather gave Naruto his power.

She simply inherited her grandfather's power.

Talking about past lives is misleading.

"Naruto looks a lot like the First Hokage when he was a child!" Jiraiya suddenly blurted out.

Actually, I was just teasing Tsunade.

Sure enough, Tsunade's face darkened upon hearing this.

What's Jiraiya trying to do? Is he trying to say that Naruto is Tsunade's grandfather?
If her grandfather really was Naruto's past life, then, rounding up, she is Naruto's granddaughter.

Clenching her fists, Tsunade's fiery temper flared up, and she was about to punch Jiraiya.

However, before Tsunade's fist could even land on Jiraiya, both Jiraiya and her expression changed.

They stopped joking and their expressions became serious.

They stopped, and Jiraiya and Tsunade stood back to back, looking around.

Then they saw six Pain figures emerge from all sides, completing their encirclement of Jiraiya and his companion.

"Yahiko, I'm sorry, I have to take Naruto back to Konoha," Jiraiya said to Pain, one of the six Pains.

Although he knew that the six Pains were all corpses, and that Nagato was the one controlling them from behind the scenes.

As for the six Rinnegan eyes of Pain, they are all projections of the Rinnegan eyes on Nagato's body.

However, when looking at the Heavenly Path, Jiraiya still addressed Yahiko as such.

As Tsunade looked at the six Pains around her, and each of their Rinnegan, she was quite shocked.

The Rinnegan—this is the eye that only the Sage of Six Paths possessed, according to legend.

Six pairs of eyes just like the Sage of Six Paths—what does that even mean?
"Or perhaps only one pair of Rinnegan is real, and the rest are just projections!" Tsunade thought to herself.

Jiraiya didn't tell Tsunade any information about Pain.

"You think you're moving fast, but you've already lost your way. Life is nothing more than a constant process of giving up. What have you given up? And what have you gained?... Jiraiya... Master!" Tendo stared calmly at Jiraiya.

Naruto's fate wasn't particularly important, but Konan's severe injuries and near-death experience enraged Pain.

"Things always happen suddenly, and the reasons are added afterward." Before Jiraiya could speak, Tendo continued.

Jiraiya activated Sage Mode during his previous battle with Konan.

If Jiraiya were to activate Sage Mode now, it would be too much of a burden for him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta.

Gamabunta is enormous, with a giant pipe in his mouth, bandages around his waist, and a short sword stuck in his waist; he is entirely red.

It is Jiraiya's summoning beast, and also the summoning beast of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, Minato summoned Gamabunta.

Against a fully-formed Nine-Tails, Gamabunta is obviously far inferior.

Tsunade also summoned a slug.

In fact, what Tsunade summoned was a clone of the Slug Sage.

As long as Tsunade is powerful enough, the slugs she summons will be larger.

Theoretically, it is possible to communicate with the true form of the Slug Immortal.

However, even the First Hokage couldn't do it, and Tsunade is even further behind.

The slug sage clone summoned by Tsunade was about the same size as Gamabunta.

Among the Six Paths of Pain, there are also those who know summoning techniques, and they can summon multiple summoned beasts.

Three Pain attacked Jiraiya, and three Pain attacked Tsunade.

Previously, Konan fought two opponents at once; now, Jiraiya and Tsunade are each fighting three opponents at once.

Although Jiraiya and Tsunade cooperated quite well, the six Pains shared a single vision and were like one entity, their level of cooperation far surpassing that of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

During the battle, Pain and his companions were unaware that Orochimaru was lurking nearby.

Orochimaru was somewhat interested in Naruto's chakra, but he wanted the Rinnegan even more.

Orochimaru believed that although all six Pain had the Rinnegan, only one pair was real, while the rest were projections.

According to Orochimaru's analysis, the twins of the Heavenly Path are real.

Now that Pain's attention is focused on Jiraiya and Tsunade, this presents a good opportunity for Orochimaru.

With the three legendary Sannin of Konoha joining forces—two in the open and one in the shadows—there was no reason for them to fail.

While pondering this, Orochimaru searched for an opportunity to strike.

Bunta's short sword suppressed the black rod in Pain's hand, and Jiraiya used Fire Release.

Tsunade sent the Animal Path flying more than ten meters with a single punch and knocked down the Preta Path with a kick, but was then attacked by the Asura Path.

When Tsunade was injured, Katsuyu treated her. Since she was a medical ninja herself, her recovery ability far exceeded that of Jiraiya.

Judging from the current situation, the six Pains have a slight advantage, but defeating Jiraiya and Tsunade is not easy, and killing them is even more difficult.

Seizing the opportunity, Orochimaru decisively made his move.

Orochimaru summons Manda, drawing the attention of the Heavenly Path, while he launches a sneak attack from behind.

Then Orochimaru spat out a snake, and from the snake's mouth came a sword.

Kusanagi sword!
It's a long story, but Orochimaru's sneak attack happened in the blink of an eye.

Orochimaru believed that this sword strike would surely pierce through the body of the Heavenly Path.

He accepted the Heavenly Dao's pair of Samsara Eyes without hesitation.

However, Orochimaru's smile froze. His sword strike missed, and Pain dodged it by simply shifting his body to the side.

"Orochimaru, your stupidity will cost you your life." Tendo coldly glanced at Orochimaru.

Pain sensed it the moment Orochimaru revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Moreover, the six Pains share a common vision; if any one Pain sees it, it's equivalent to all six Pains seeing it.

Orochimaru underestimated Pain.

Having failed in his sneak attack, Orochimaru leaped several times and landed on Manda's head.

Jiraiya looked excited.

Tsunade is getting a little hot-blooded too.

The three legendary Konoha ninjas have gathered.

Regardless of Orochimaru's motives, the fact remains that he launched a sneak attack on Pain.

Now, the three ninjas are united in their stance.

"Pain, we, the Sannin, bestow upon you the title of demigod." Tsunade said to Pain with her hands on her hips and a smile.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru wore strange expressions.

Payne's face darkened.

Demi god?

Hanzo the Salamander!
During the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru encountered Hanzo on the battlefield in the Land of Rain. Even with the three of them working together, they were still suppressed by Hanzo.

Hanzo admired the three and bestowed upon them the title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

When Tsunade spoke up, neither Jiraiya nor Orochimaru objected.

He was given the title of demigod by the three legendary Sannin?

For Payne, this was an insult! A demigod? Payne had long since grown from a human to a god through painful trials.

Orochimaru knew that it was unlikely he would succeed in obtaining the Rinnegan, but it wasn't time to give up yet.

It's not impossible for the three Sannin to defeat Pain if they join forces.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Orochimaru is now a traitor to the Akatsuki organization.

Orochimaru felt no guilt whatsoever about betraying Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki organization was merely a stepping stone for him to achieve his goals.

Unfortunately, he failed to obtain Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, and he also failed to steal Pain's Rinnegan.

Manda has a vile personality and enjoys eating people. When he was summoned by Orochimaru and faced Pain, he demanded that Orochimaru sacrifice 1000 humans to him after the battle.

"No problem," Orochimaru readily agreed.

Compared to Manda, Jiraiya and Tsunade's summoning beasts have much better personalities.

Especially Tsunade's 'snotty nose', which has a gentle personality.

After all, he was an avatar of the Slug Immortal, so his realm was certainly incomparable to that of ordinary people.

At that moment, Orochimaru unleashed a giant snake from his right hand, about to swallow Naruto whole.

If you can't get the Rinnegan, then take Naruto with you!
Whether Naruto's chakra is related to the First Hokage still needs further investigation.

Just as the giant snake was about to swallow Naruto, Pain intervened and stopped it.

But the rhythm of the battle was thrown into disarray.

For Orochimaru, getting Naruto would be great, and changing the rhythm of the battle would also be good, as it would increase the possibility of defeating Pain.

The battle continued, and with Orochimaru's arrival, the fighting became even more intense.

Even from a great distance, Awei could see the enormous chakra.

All three Sannin were Kage-level powerhouses, and Pain was no weaker than them.

I thought Orochimaru was after Naruto, but it turns out he actually wanted to steal the Rinnegan. He's really bold.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru lacked sufficient information; none of the six Pain's Rinnegan were genuine, and the real Rinnegan was in Nagato's possession.

Therefore, even if Orochimaru successfully gouged out Pain's eyes, it was useless.

Jiraiya did know that.

Pain wanted to kill the three legendary Sannin, but it was difficult.

Being able to kill an aged Hanzo doesn't mean you can kill the Sannin.

A ninja's strength declines with age and physical decline; this was true for Hanzo and the Third Hokage.

But the Sannin haven't reached that stage yet.

Therefore, the three legendary ninjas are currently at their peak strength.

Xiao Nan has also recovered and can continue fighting.

She rushed to support Payne, and Ah Wei followed at a leisurely pace.

The three legendary Sannin will face considerable pressure in their fight against Pain.

With the appearance of Konan and Awei, Orochimaru was the first to flee.

The heavily injured Man-Snake returned to Dragon Cave amidst a massive cloud of smoke.

Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance.

Orochimaru left too decisively.

With Naruto by his side, Jiraiya tried to fight his way out, but Tsunade covered for him.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

The Heavenly Path extends its right hand, aiming at Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Instantly, a suction force acted on Jiraiya and Tsunade from a distance.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were involuntarily lifted into the air, getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Dao.

Then, Heaven threw out the black rod.

The black rod split in two in mid-air, about to pierce through Jiraiya and Tsunade's bodies, and Jiraiya and Tsunade were unable to completely escape the suction force for the time being.

In the critical moment, Jiraiya used a shadow clone to meet the attack, while Tsunade used a substitution jutsu, both of which were extremely dangerous.

Taking Naruto away is unrealistic.

This made Jiraiya very unwilling.

They successfully infiltrated Amegakure and brought Naruto out, but first Konan caught up with them, and then Pain followed.

Orochimaru did lend a hand, but it still didn't work!

Despite their reluctance, Jiraiya and Tsunade had no choice but to retreat.

Pain, however, had no intention of letting Jiraiya and Tsunade go so easily.

……

In Amegakure, Ah Wei waited a long time before Pain finally returned.

Pain chased after Jiraiya and Tsunade, and it took him a long time to return.

Even without Pain saying it, Awei knew that he had failed to kill Jiraiya and Tsunade.

However, both Jiraiya and Tsunade were seriously injured.

With Tsunade's medical ninjutsu and the slug's healing abilities, Jiraiya and Tsunade, despite their serious injuries, recovered quickly.

Being able to defeat the current Sannin, Pain is definitely at the Kage level.

While a Super Kage-level being is not much of a threat compared to a Six Paths-level being, it can still take on several Kage-level opponents.

Orochimaru still betrayed the Akatsuki organization.

"Ah Wei, you're in charge of killing Orochimaru and bringing back his ring," Pain said as soon as he returned to the village and saw Ah Wei.

Ah Wei: ? ? ?
Black Zetsu wanted him to kill Obito, and now Pain wants him to kill Orochimaru.

what is this?
In his view, Orochimaru was far more important than Tsuchiko.

After all, Orochimaru is a rare scientific research talent.

“Saving Konan has taken a toll on me, and my fighting strength has dropped significantly in a short time. I can’t handle Orochimaru. I think we should send Kakuzu and Hidan, the immortal duo, to kill Orochimaru! Or maybe Sasori and Deidara, the artistic duo.” Awei said to Pain with a grin.

Saving Konan was a great favor to Pain.

Payne was skeptical of Ah Wei's claim that the energy expenditure was significant.

However, it's unlikely that Xiao Nan's near-death experience and subsequent rapid recovery came without some cost.

When Payne heard Ah Wei mention the "immortal duo" and the "artistic duo" again, his lips twitched.

Even Xiao Nan looked strange.

But I must say, upon closer inspection, it makes perfect sense.

Kakuzu and Hidan both possess 'immortality,' so calling them the immortal duo wouldn't be wrong.

As for Sasori and Deidara, one is an artist who plays with puppets, and the other is an artist who creates explosions. They are both artists, but their artistic concepts are different. The former pursues eternity, while the latter believes that true art is the moment of the explosion.

Payne didn't say anything more; he would think about it some more.

Before long, Pain decided to send the art duo to deal with Orochimaru.

Kakuzu is Akatsuki's finance minister, and he needs to raise money for the organization.

Hidan also has a mission.

……

Neither Sasori nor Deidara are in Amegakure.

Payne contacted Scorpion.

Orochimaru betrayed us? Sasori was a little surprised, but also a little happy. He had disliked Orochimaru for a long time.

Having accepted the mission, Sasori went to meet up with Deidara.

Deidara was still an intern and didn't have a special ring, so Payne couldn't contact him directly.

Once Sasori finds Deidara, the two of them can then deal with Orochimaru.

Of course, we need to find Orochimaru first.

It's still unclear where Orochimaru is hiding.

However, Sasori didn't think killing Orochimaru was that troublesome.

Orochimaru killed the Third Kazekage, so how could he possibly be compared to the strongest Kazekage? The Third Kazekage's puppet form was something Orochimaru couldn't handle!
