Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

The Hungry Ghost Path absorbed the chakra with both hands, but its body experienced a rather unpleasant reaction.

This kind of power...

It cannot be absorbed using normal abilities!

Absorbing too much can cause problems.

In fact, Chiba didn't intend for him to absorb too much. After being blasted away by Shinra Tensei, a barrage of missiles from the Asura Path attacked.

He formed a hand seal with one hand.

Come and welcome Thousand Hands Kill!

Chakra Armor.

With its formidable defense, the moment missiles and ninjutsu attacks struck, invisible hands bombarded Asura's body.

Even though the Hungry Ghost Path absorbed some of it later, he couldn't absorb all of this invisible power. He was also hit by several counterattacks, while Chiba was unharmed.

"These five are all corpses, right? Actually, your true form should be Nagato. Jiraiya-sensei told me that."

Chiba said calmly, "So the current you is not your original self at all."

"so what?"

"Yahiko" said calmly.

"Whether it's puppetry or any other ninjutsu, there's always a medium involved. There's no such thing as controlling someone without a medium. Your medium..."

Chiba looked at them. "These black sticks? They're what you have in common."

"..."

Nagato, in a distant land, took a deep breath.

Xiao Nan looked at him anxiously: "How are you? Otherwise, let's leave quietly. We already know some things, don't we?"

"Yagyu Chiba is truly a terrifying enemy!"

Nagato was panting heavily.

Pain's Six Paths technique was used relatively infrequently.

The previous encounter with Hanzo was one instance, and the current one is another; most of the time, the Heavenly Path is mobilized together.

result.

Chiba only observed for a short while before breaking through his ninjutsu.

Such insight...

It’s a big deal!

"Now what?"

"Phew! I'll try again."

Nagato took a deep breath, and then consciously controlled the Six Paths of Pain.

this time……

The five of them attacked together.

A barrage of ninjutsu techniques were unleashed at Chiba simultaneously.

however.

The more chaotic things are, the more advantageous it is for Chiba.

Shadows emanated from the earth, forming incantations and symbols, and then...

His figure disappeared from the spot.

To deal with Chiba, Pain had to frequently mobilize his chakra to control his body, but in reality, Chiba's transformations were so frequent that he simply couldn't defend against them.

This leads to——

Cut it down with one knife!

The hand of the Hungry Ghost Path was severed, and in an instant, it was grabbed by Chiba and taken away.

Then, Chiba passed one hand to Jiraiya, leaving only a black stick.

He then vanished from the spot, leaving Payne in five silences.

"how's it going?"

"He took a black stick and ran away; he probably went to study it."

Nagato was silent for a moment, then said, "This technique can't be kept secret for long."

"What should I do?"

Konan frowned.

Nagato's techniques primarily rely on black rods to control the Six Paths of Pain. If the Six Paths of Pain's techniques are broken, their locations will be quickly exposed.

In other words.

Once this is known, Nagato's position will be completely unsafe.

"Look again."

Nagato leaned against the golem behind him.

Actually.

He himself didn't know what he was looking for. At that moment, his feelings were less about "observation" and more about hoping that someone would stand up and defeat or stop him, or...

Persuade him.

Perhaps Chiba is that person.

he thought.

Just then, Nagato's eyes narrowed, and his attention refocused.

"teacher--"

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Ah."

Nagato, controlling "Yahiko," looked towards Jiraiya's direction.

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

"Yahiko, no, Nagato, it really is you! Did those things really happen back then?"

"It does not matter."

"Yahiko" said calmly, "Jiraiya-sensei, please don't stop us."

"Nagato, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, Jiraiya-sensei. You may have forgotten that you once taught us that to achieve peace in the ninja world, we need to understand each other."

Nagato looked towards Konoha in the distance, "Between people, villages, and nations, there is no war, no struggle, no sacrifice, and no hatred."

“I haven’t forgotten that I have been searching for a way to achieve this peace. I even thought about going to you, but unfortunately you had already disappeared by then.”

Jiraiya said seriously, "I didn't expect you to go to Amegakure. You must be there to avenge Yahiko, right?"

"Yes, revenge."

Nagato said calmly.

After a long while, his tone changed somewhat.

"But if I'm only doing this for revenge, Jiraiya-sensei, you're underestimating me."

Nagato said calmly, "You see, even you think I'm doing this for revenge, which means you also believe that hatred cannot be eliminated."

"..."

Jiraiya remained silent.

Fortunately-

Also.

"You killed my family, and I killed their family and friends. How can anyone let go of such mutual hatred? So people can't understand each other. That's something in your dreams."

Jiraiya let out a long sigh.

All things are attracted by heaven!

This is his strongest form.

The next instant, he vanished from the spot.

Jiraiya opened his mouth, then sighed softly, "Nagato, so what are your thoughts now?"

"Yahiko" looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Without experiencing pain, we cannot understand each other. Only by feeling pain can we understand the value of peace. Only strong military force can make everyone put down hatred and choose peace."

Peace is achieved through mutual understanding.

He reacted quickly.

Jiraiya-sensei has become this powerful?

Immortal mode.

Jiraiya's eyes widened, then he took a deep breath, feeling only deep sorrow in his heart.

By linking Sage Chakra, he merges Fukasaku and Shima with him, allowing the three to share chakra and reach their strongest battle state.

"So... that's what you were thinking."

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and instantly entered Sage Mode, while the two Sages quickly landed on his shoulders and merged into him.

"Although I don't know how to achieve my peace, I don't quite agree with your ideas."
