Jiraiya seemed to have come to a realization and had no intention of returning to Amegakure. He felt that giving Nagato some time to calm down, think, and digest the current situation was not a bad choice.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was also writing the investigation report on behalf of Shinichi Hyuga for this trip into Amegakure.
This investigation report is to be submitted to the Hokage. Compared to Shinichi Hyuga, Jiraiya felt that he understood the Akatsuki members better.
In his report, Jiraiya did not hide the fact that the leader of Akatsuki was once his disciple, and he gave an objective evaluation of Nagato's personality, strength, and the current combat power of the Akatsuki organization.
At the same time, Jiraiya also included the existence of the prisoners in his report, and naturally informed Minato in full about the relationship between Konan and Nagato, as well as their relationship with him.
Jiraiya wrote a very detailed report, informing Minato of everything, big and small, hoping that Minato could make the right choice based on this report.
Yes, Jiraiya ultimately gave the choice to Minato.
He trusted this disciple immensely, even more than he trusted Minato himself.
After the report was written, it was sent back to Konoha Village via Mount Myōboku. At the same time, as Jiraiya's report passed through Mount Myōboku, the two sages, Shima and Fukasaku, realized that Jiraiya had escaped danger.
The investigation report transmitted through Mount Myoboku quickly reached Minato's hands.
The time it takes is only a few minutes, which is fast enough, although not as fast as the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Minato, who had just received the report, was working in the Hokage's office, where sunlight streamed in through the windows.
Unlike the Land of Rain, Konoha has four distinct seasons and abundant sunshine.
Although Minato is busy with official duties, messages from Mount Myoboku are naturally of paramount importance and need to be reviewed first.
After carefully examining the scroll, Minato realized that the report was actually sent back by Shinichi's investigation team.
Although the report was written by Jiraiya, Minato was not surprised.
On the contrary, he was quite surprised that Shinichi and his team made such rapid progress in their investigation of Akatsuki, a tightly organized group.
In his mind, even with Jiraiya's help, the investigation wouldn't yield results so quickly. In fact, Minato was prepared to wait several years for the results.
As Shuimen reviewed the report, his brows gradually furrowed.
The situation of this organization was somewhat beyond his imagination.
The leader of Akatsuki is actually a former disciple of the master? The power of the Rinnegan actually forced two of the Sannin to retreat.
However, there was also a lot of good news. The abilities of the Akatsuki leader had been largely figured out, and Shinichi had also captured an important figure in Akatsuki, who was Nagato's childhood friend. Minato considered this a very important bargaining chip.
Moreover, Shinichi even defeated Obito Uchiha in this battle. Although it was impossible to determine whether Obito was alive or dead, Minato believed that Obito's threat to Konoha was diminishing.
Shinichi, the super genius of the Hyuga clan, is growing rapidly. Even Obito can no longer pose a significant threat to Konoha. In a few years, he will be even less of a threat.
The younger generation of Konoha is growing up strong, and the village's strength will only grow stronger!
By the end, Minato already had a solution in mind.
Without hesitation, Minato used a summoning jutsu to summon a toad and send a message to Mount Myoboku. Minato was then summoned to Mount Myoboku by the toad.
He planned to personally go to Amegakure to negotiate with the young man named Nagato.
He will use sincerity to ease Nagato's hatred.

Chapter 162 Re-entering the Rain Ninja, the Golem Reawakens (Please Subscribe)
In the dense forest, after a period of rest, Jiraiya's condition had recovered somewhat.
The battle with the Six Paths of Hell caused him to lose a significant portion of his chakra, and even with items like Soldier Pills, it wouldn't be easy to quickly return to his peak condition.
However, after resting, Jiraiya recovered to the level where he could handle some unexpected situations.
Their camp wasn't too far from Amegakure. If Nagato gathered the Amegakure elites to conduct a thorough search of Shinichi Hyuga and his group, they might actually find something.
However, for some unknown reason, Shinichi Hyuga and his group have not yet found any trace of the trackers.
Perhaps... Nagato's control over Amegakure wasn't as strong as they imagined. Without Pain and Konan as his "angels," he probably couldn't command the Amegakure ninja.
As dusk fell, just as everyone in the camp was preparing to leave Amegakure under the cover of twilight, a communication frog suddenly appeared beside Shinichi Hyuga with a "pop".
The words "Sword of Endurance and Love" were engraved on the back of the communication frog. Shinichi's gaze swept over it casually, and a spatial fluctuation caught his attention.
"Obito?!"
Shinichi Hyuga pulled a kunai from his sleeve and suddenly stood up. At that moment, Minato Namikaze's figure suddenly leaped out of the void and stood steadily on the open ground.
The white divine robe embroidered with the words "Fourth Hokage" fluttered lightly in the wind, and his long golden hair stood out conspicuously in the slightly dim dense forest.
"Yo~"
"Is everyone okay?"
Minato turned around, looked at the people gathered around the campfire, and smiled warmly and brightly, waving affectionately as a greeting.
"The Yondaime!"
"Minato-sensei?"
"Watergate?"
Different people have different names for Minato Namikaze. When they saw who it was, everyone was surprised but also overjoyed.
Being in a foreign country, even with a strong person like Jiraiya by their side, Kakashi and Shisui inevitably felt a little uneasy and overly vigilant.
The appearance of the water gate completely put their previously uneasy hearts at ease.
In the hearts of Kakashi's generation, the Yellow Flash of Konoha was clearly more reassuring than the "Three Legendary Sannin" like Jiraiya.
Shinichi Hyuga glanced at Minato from head to toe with his Byakugan, and silently put away the kunai in his sleeve.
When he sensed the spatial fluctuations, he initially thought it was Obito Uchiha chasing after him, but he never expected that the person who came would be Minato Namikaze.
His understanding of "Hokage" was somewhat stereotypical, believing that the Hokage would not easily leave the village to appear on the "front line".
However, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi are clearly leaders with completely different styles. Minato, who realized from the report that Shinichi's team needed help, also used reverse summoning and Flying Thunder God to travel across half the earth to the front line of Amegakure.
Too...
Aside from a man like Minato who has mastered space-time ninjutsu, how could anyone else provide such timely support?
"I came here immediately after receiving Jiraiya-sensei's report."
"The strength of the Akatsuki organization and its potential impact on the world are far greater than I anticipated."
"If possible, I would like to speak with the leader of Amegakure in person."
Minato smiled gently and walked over to the campfire. Kakashi, with his keen eye, handed Minato his small stool, which the latter accepted with a smile and then sat down next to Shinichi Hyuga.
He reached out and touched Shinichi Hyuga's slightly dry hair, then looked at Jiraiya:
"Master Jiraiya, may I visit your disciple?"
Minato showed great respect for Jiraiya, speaking to him in a questioning tone.
Even someone like Jiraiya felt quite at ease at this moment, experiencing Minato's warm and welcoming manner.
"If it's you, of course you can!"
"However... I'm ashamed to say, as your teacher, I'm afraid I can't help you with any introductions..."
“Nagato, he…”
Jiraiya looked ashamed; in front of Minato, he felt quite guilty.
The root of Akatsuki's problem, after all this time, is actually closely related to Jiraiya.
They were clearly his disciples, yet they did not receive his protection; they were clearly his disciples, yet they were not guided onto the right path.
If... he had properly educated his disciples; if... he had never taught Nagato and the others any ninja skills in the first place, perhaps none of this would have happened.
However, it's a bit too late to say all this now. Jiraiya would feel somewhat embarrassed to have Minato, his disciple, clean up his mess.
"An introduction isn't necessary..."
"Jiraiya-sensei, please get some rest. As for Amegakure..."
"Let Shinichi come with me."
As he spoke, Minato gently patted Shinichi on the shoulder.
Although Minato had only just arrived at Shinichi's camp, he had already silently assessed their condition during their brief conversation.
Jiraiya's mental state was not good, and Minato could tell that although Jiraiya had rested for a while, his fatigue was still obvious.
Kakashi, Shisui, and Might Guy had no signs of battle, so they probably didn't participate in the battle in Amegakure.
Minato could probably understand why the three of them didn't participate in the battle. Sometimes, high-level battles are beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas, a point Minato understood very well.
Because he was a "high-level" ninja, during the battle with Minato, he not only did not want ordinary Konoha ninjas to help him, but he also hoped that his comrades could stand quietly on the sidelines and watch without affecting him.
The strongest member of this squad is Shinichi Hyuga, and Jiraiya is a temporary helper Shinichi found. Moreover, Minato could tell that Shinichi, who had experienced a fierce battle in Amegakure, was not greatly weakened.
Even in Minato's view, Shinichi is now more "profound" than Jiraiya.
It doesn't refer to personality, it refers to ability.
"me?"
"Alright, but Minato-kun, you'd better be prepared to leave empty-handed."
"That person is not easy to communicate with."
