Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"You mean..."

Where is the person controlling the puppet?

Jiraiya was a smart man. With Shinichi's guidance, he thought of many things. After this explanation, he seemed to understand why there were so many Rinnegan.

At the same time, Jiraiya's mood suddenly became heavy.

Because he suddenly remembered... the blond-haired enemy defeated by Shinichi Hyuga seemed to be his former disciple, Yahiko...

"Let's go see him in the village!"

"Meet the leader of Akatsuki!"

Unable to find Obito Uchiha's body, Shinichi Hyuga judged that Obito was probably still alive. Although there wasn't much direct evidence to support his judgment, Shinichi trusted his intuition and also believed that Obito was a formidable opponent.

Although they weren't able to completely eliminate Obito, the mastermind behind everything, it doesn't mean Shinichi and his group gained nothing. After defeating all Six Paths of Pain, Nagato lost his powerful protectors, making this the perfect opportunity to destroy the Rinnegan.

The most crucial figure in Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan was not Obito Uchiha, whom he left behind, nor Black Zetsu, whom he regarded as a clone of his will, but rather his pair of Rinnegan eyes.

If the Rinnegan can be destroyed, preventing Obito Uchiha from activating the Rinne Rebirth Technique through it, the Eye of the Moon Plan will have no chance of being completed.

With Obito's abilities, he was unable to collect all nine tailed beasts, and without the Rinnegan, he could not summon the Gedo Mazo, thus making it impossible to re-fuse the tailed beasts into the Ten-Tails.

Destroying the Rinnegan is tantamount to completely destroying Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan.

Shinichi Hyuga had no desire for those eyes. Everyone's physique and talent are different, and even if he could obtain Nagato's eyes, he would not choose to transplant them into his own body.

The strength doesn't come from the Rinnegan, but from the skill of the ninja.

Furthermore, Shinichi's goal from beginning to end has always been the same: to live a peaceful life in this ninja world. Becoming the host of the Rinnegan would only make him a prime target for ambitious individuals, which is not what Shinichi Hyuga wants.

Honestly, if he hadn't foreseen that Nagato would one day cause a major incident in Konoha, Shinichi Hyuga wouldn't have wanted to fight him.

If he hadn't known that Obito Uchiha would later unleash the Fourth Shinobi World War, Shinichi Hyuga wouldn't have cared whether Obito truly wanted to create a world with Rin.

Shinichi dared not gamble, dared not gamble that he could survive a battle like the Fourth Shinobi World War.

For our own sake and for the sake of the Hyuga clan, it would be better to eliminate Nagato, this threat, here.

...

The sea near Amegakure.

The heavy rain never stopped, and at this time, Shinichi Hyuga and Jiraiya had already left the battlefield and were rushing towards a tall tower in Amegakure.

Using the black rods that transmit chakra through the Animal Path, Shinichi Hyuga traced Nagato's location in reverse and was now rushing towards that location with Jiraiya.

As the two approached Amegakure, Nagato and Konan finally came into Shinichi Hyuga's Byakugan field of vision.

After Shinichi locked onto their positions with his Byakugan, he actually slowed down his pace slightly.

Jiraiya sensed something was amiss and, after a moment's thought, asked the two toad sages, Shima and Fukasaku, to help him enter Sage Mode ahead of time.

Amegakure was, after all, the enemy's stronghold, and Jiraiya was afraid of encountering any more formidable enemies in the village. Seeing Shinichi's cautious demeanor, Jiraiya naturally planned to adjust himself to his best condition.

About fifteen minutes later, Shinichi Hyuga and Jiraiya arrived at the open space in front of the tower. Looking at the towering iron tower without any doors, they exchanged a glance and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Looking up, the two noticed several ventilation windows nearly twenty meters above the ground on the tower, which should be the only entrance and exit of the tower.

To Shinichi and Jiraiya, this iron tower was essentially a specially constructed fortress. Ordinary people couldn't even reach the entrance, let alone enter the tower.

To ensure he wouldn't be disturbed while controlling the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato not only had Konan protecting him, but also built a "signal tower" that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"How to do it?"

Jiraiya's tone was deep. Seeing the iron tower in front of him, he was at a loss and took the initiative to ask Shinichi Hyuga for his opinion.

Jiraiya could roughly guess that the enemy was already aware of their existence. The iron tower in front of them had only one entrance, and if they rashly rushed in, they would definitely be ambushed.

Jiraiya suffered a great loss at the hands of Pain, so he naturally dared not be careless at this moment. Although Shinichi beside him was young, Jiraiya's wisdom allowed him to see that Shinichi possessed more information than he did. Faced with such a choice, perhaps Shinichi's thoughts and opinions would be far more useful than what Jiraiya had in his head.

"Just destroy this iron tower."

"We don't need to bother with the difficult part."

Although Nagato's puppets, the Six Paths of Pain, have all been dealt with, this does not mean that Akatsuki has lost its ability to resist.

Don't forget, Nagato also has Konan protecting him. She's the woman who almost killed Obito with hundreds of millions of explosive tags. If you underestimate her, you won't even know how you died.

While Jiraiya's Sage Mode offers strong defense, it is still insufficient against hundreds of millions of explosive tags.

If possible, Shinichi didn't want the war to escalate to that point.

Ideally, we should be able to instantly kill Konan, preventing her from activating her trump card.

However, don't think Konan is easy to kill. Her secret technique, Shikigami Dance, is very powerful, allowing Konan to become like a Logia-type Devil Fruit user in the One Piece world, with her body achieving a unique form of "elementalization".

The only difference is that Logia-type Devil Fruit users' bodies are elementalized, while Konan's body is simply transformed into paper.

Ordinary taijutsu poses no threat to Konan; it would be better to have Jiraiya use his powerful fire jutsu to destroy the tower and Konan together.

Moreover, it's not just Konan who possesses considerable fighting ability; Nagato, despite his leg disability, also has a certain level of combat prowess. If Shinichi were to be impaled by the opponent's black rods at close range, he couldn't guarantee that his body wouldn't be manipulated by the opponent.

Jiraiya looked at the tower in front of him and nodded silently after hearing Shinichi's words.

As Jiraiya began forming hand seals, Shima and Fukasaku, after helping Jiraiya enter Sage Mode, also began forming hand seals in coordination with him.

Jiraiya planned to use Sage Art: Goemon to melt the tower into iron slag, and he didn't care what was inside the tower.

"Senpō Goemon!"

Jiraiya's hand seals were incredibly fast. As he spat out toad oil, Shima and Fukasaku, who were standing on his shoulders, also breathed fire and wind at the iron tower almost simultaneously.

The moment the three techniques merged, Goemon unleashed a terrifying power.

The burning toad oil instantly engulfed the iron tower. With the aid of wind-style techniques, the fire was extremely fierce. In just a few seconds, the tower's outer shell was burned bright red.

Jiraiya felt the fire wasn't burning enough and was about to add more power when a "whooshing" sound suddenly rang out in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw countless white papers falling from the sky with the help of the rain.

"what is this?"

Jiraiya was puzzled by this scene, as it was the first time he had ever witnessed such a sight. Shinichi Hyuga, however, knew immediately whose technique it was when he saw the white paper fluttering down.

"The Dance of Shikigami."

"Lord Jiraiya, be careful."

Shinichi's gaze narrowed slightly. Just as he finished speaking, the countless sheets of white paper suddenly folded themselves rapidly. In just a moment, countless sheets of paper transformed into countless paper shurikens, which flew towards Jiraiya and the others with astonishment.

"!!!"

Even Jiraiya had never seen such a miraculous ninjutsu before. As the paper shuriken flew towards him at high speed, Jiraiya suddenly changed the direction of his oil spray. Fukasaku and Shima, the two sages, were also in perfect sync with Jiraiya, and the wind direction of their fire and wind releases also followed the direction of Jiraiya's oil spray.

The raging flames instantly engulfed the incoming paper shuriken, and the countless white papers were reduced to ashes by Jiraiya's fire jutsu.

A short while later, Jiraiya finished his technique, but the oil he sprayed still tightly enveloped the iron tower. Even after Jiraiya finished casting the spell, the blazing toad oil continued to scorch Nagato's hiding place.

"So strong."

Seeing Jiraiya easily deflect Konan's attacks, even Shinichi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Only by witnessing it firsthand could one truly understand just how powerful Jiraiya in Sage Mode really was.

This level of fire jutsu is probably unmatched in the world today; only Madara Uchiha could unleash a fire jutsu comparable to Goemon's.

The boost that Fukasaku and Shima gave to Jiraiya went far beyond simply maintaining Sage Mode. To be honest, Shinichi Hyuga couldn't imagine what kind of ninja, besides a perfect Jinchuriki, could rival Jiraiya in his current state.

Konan's techniques are indeed very strong, but they might not be very effective against Jiraiya.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Just as Shinichi was secretly making calculations in his mind, a series of soft sounds came from the sky. Small white pieces of paper slowly gathered in the air. In just a moment, Konan's figure slowly condensed in the air in front of Jiraiya.

Xiao Nan has short blue hair, a light blue paper flower in her hair, and wears Xiao's signature red auspicious cloud black robe. There is a lingering sadness in her eyes, which adds to her intellectual beauty.

As her body materialized, the number of paper scraps that gathered did not decrease; instead, they quickly coalesced into enormous wings behind her.

Konan's body was soaked; the heavy rain seemed to have dampened her paper, but this didn't seem to affect her technique. As Jiraiya intently watched her, Konan also lowered her head slightly, looking down at Jiraiya, Shinichi Hyuga, and the others below.

If Jiraiya couldn't recognize Tendo Yahiko at first glance when he first met him, he recognized Konan instantly.

Perhaps Jiraiya's brain is inherently more prone to remembering women than men...

Or perhaps he had already recognized Yahiko, and therefore had already mentally prepared for the possibility of encountering Konan again at this time.

Upon seeing Konan appear, Jiraiya's eyes dimmed slightly.

Xiao... Xiao Nan is a member of the Xiao organization.

He didn't know what his three disciples had gone through after they were separated from him in the Land of Rain, but one thing that Jiraiya had to accept was that his disciples seemed to have become enemies of Konoha and his enemies.

"Konan...is that Konan?!"

Jiraiya asked, even though he already had the answer in his mind, he still wanted to get the other party's personal confirmation.

"It's been a long time, Jiraiya-sensei."

Konan's original intention was to intercept Jiraiya and Shinichi Hyuga, so as to buy Nagato enough time. Therefore, she naturally answered Jiraiya's question.

“…”

Jiraiya-sensei...

What a familiar title.
