Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The land of rain.

After listening to Jiraiya's words.

Nagato fell into a long silence.

He had to admit that the blueprint Jiraiya had drawn up was extremely tempting.

Eliminate class and national boundaries at their root.

This sounds much better than his threats of terror.

Xiao Nan's heart was beating a little faster.

If it could really be like what Jiraiya said.

Will the people of the Rain Country no longer have to endure hunger and war?

She turned to look at Nagato.

however.

The fleeting emotion in Nagato's eyes was quickly replaced by endless coldness.

"absurd."

"Jiraiya-sensei, you're still so easily fooled."

"Unify the ninja world?"

"In the end, didn't it all just make that man named Chiba a dictator?"

"What makes you think he'll treat everyone the same?"

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

"Once he has eliminated all his opponents..."

"The whole world became his personal toy."

"The people of Konoha remain high and mighty."

"And we people will only become his slaves!"

"..."

Nagato's words were incisive and to the point.

"Why should the fate of all humanity be entrusted to the morality of one person?"

"Who will supervise him?"

"Once he becomes a tyrant, the entire ninja world won't even have a chance to resist!"

Jiraiya opened his mouth.

He was speechless.

Because he knew very well that Chiba himself was a dictator and tyrant.

Chiba never hides his ambition.

He just wants to trample the whole world under his feet.

Seeing that Jiraiya could not refute him, Nagato completely lost his patience.

"For the sake of our past relationship."

"I won't kill you today."

Nagato raised his withered fingers.

Pain, the Deva Path, slowly stepped forward.

"Get out of the Land of Rain right now."

"Take that arrogant Hokage from Konoha with you and get out of here."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind making you sacrifices to the heretical golems."

The piece of paper in Xiao Nan's hand transformed into a sharp spear.

She is ready to act at any time.

Although she was also wary of Chiba's chakra.

But if Nagato decides to go to war, she will absolutely not back down.

Jiraiya sighed.

He knew the conversation had completely broken down.

Nagato has become completely absorbed in his extreme logic.

"Nagato".

"I won't leave."

Jiraiya rapidly formed hand seals.

"I can't watch you keep making the same mistakes."

"Since you remain obstinate, I will take you back to Konoha."

Upon hearing this...

Nagato's Rinnegan suddenly tightened.

"madness."

Pain raised his right hand.

An invisible repulsive force erupted instantly.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The violent airflow overturned the iron plate beneath Jiraiya's feet.

Jiraiya crossed his arms in front of his chest and was slammed hard against the tower wall.

With a loud "boom".

A large pit has formed in the wall.

The battle has officially begun.

at the same time.

On an abandoned dam a few kilometers away from the steel tower.

The torrential rain continues to rage.

But not a single drop of rain falls to the ground here.

A transparent chakra shield completely kept the heavy rain out.

Chiba had his hands in his pockets, looking languid.

He was stepping on a man covered in blood.

Kisame Hoshigaki.

This tailless beast in the realm was lying on the ground like a dead fish.

His greatsword Samehada lay fallen to the side, even emitting a mournful wail.

Kisame's immense chakra, which he was so proud of, was a joke in front of Chiba.

And behind Chiba.

Kakashi and the other Anbu members were using specially made sealing chains to tightly bind the three people.

Deidara, Sasori, Hidan.

These three, all core members of the Akatsuki organization, were now in a sorry state.

Deidara's hands were completely bound.

His face was filled with terror and resentment.

"That's impossible!"

"My art is flawless, how could you possibly just... without even glancing at it?"

Deidara roared wildly.

Just a few minutes ago.

He rode a giant clay bird, ready to bombard Chiba.

As a result, Chiba only looked up once.

A giant wood-style hand shot out from the ground and crushed him in mid-air, causing him serious injuries.

Sasori's Hiruko has been completely shattered.

The main body was exposed, and a sealing wooden strip was inserted into the core of the mechanism.

He stared coldly at Chiba, his heart churning with turmoil.

The opponent is too fast.

It was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to control the Third Kazekage's puppet.

Hidan, meanwhile, was cursing wildly on the side.

"The evil god will punish you!"

"Bastard, let me go! I'm going to sacrifice you to the evil god!"

Hidan's severed head was rolling around in the mud.

Kakashi stepped on Hidan's head and looked away in disgust.

The surrounding Konoha Anbu members all stared at Chiba with eyes that looked at a god.

That's way too exaggerated.

These four are S-rank rogue ninjas with extremely high bounties throughout the entire ninja world.

Any one of them could give a small country a major headache.

But in Chiba's hands.

They didn't even last five minutes before being captured alive, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"I thought the Akatsuki was some kind of powerful organization."

"With this level of skill, they dare to boast about changing the world?"

Chiba yawned, bored.

He slightly increased the pressure with his foot, and Kisame immediately let out a muffled groan.

A bunch of overconfident clowns.

They lacked the awareness to establish a complete political power.

It's a joke that a few people can carry out a terrorist attack.

Then.

Chiba opens up his senses.

His chakra spread out like a tide.

Aside from these four useless guys at your feet.

Other Akatsuki members, such as Obito Uchiha and Kakuzu, were not in the village.

"They run pretty fast."

Chiba pursed his lips.

Just then.

A violent surge of chakra energy emanated from the direction of the tower.

The roaring sound continued incessantly.

Even the rain curtain was shattered by the shock.

The secret agents all looked up, their expressions wary.

"It seems..."

"The talks between Jiraiya-sama and his lord have fallen apart."

Kakashi said in a low voice.

Chiba was not surprised at all by this result.

It would be a miracle if someone as extreme and obsessive as Nagato could be persuaded by Jiraiya's talk-no-jutsu.

Chiba even felt that Jiraiya was simply asking for trouble.

"Take these pieces of trash with you."

"Let's go."

"Go see how badly our Sannin got beaten up."

Chiba withdrew his foot from Kisame's back.

The voice just fell.

Chiba's figure flashed, turning into a blur as he sped towards the tower.

Kakashi and the others followed closely behind, carrying the prisoners.

Inside the tower.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Jiraiya's situation was extremely dangerous.

His face paint became very thick, and his nose was covered with a dense rash of bumps.

On either side of his shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima were squatting.

Sage Mode!

Even in his strongest form, Jiraiya was still at a significant disadvantage.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya unleashed a torrent of flames, turning the hall a fiery red.

But just as the flames were about to engulf Pain...

A fat-looking demon named Pain blocked their way.

He opened his arms.

The magical flames, powerful enough to melt steel, were actually absorbed into his body.

"Quack."

"That kid's eyes are so weird!"

The toad made a loud reminder.

"It can absorb not only ninjutsu."

"It also allows for shared views, with absolutely no blind spots!"

Hamashima also appeared very anxious.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth.

His right arm hung limply at his side, blood dripping continuously.

Just now, I was caught off guard and my arm was injured by a missile fired by the Asura Path.

no way.

The teamwork of these six people was absolutely flawless.

"Spiritual communication!"

Animal Path Pain slammed his hands on the ground.

A hellhound with multiple heads roared out and pounced on Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was just about to dodge.

Pain raised his hand again.

"Universal Guidance!"

An extremely strong suction force pulled at Jiraiya's body.

The hellhound opened its blood-red maw and viciously bit at half of Jiraiya's body.

Behind Jiraiya, the head of the Asura Path suddenly opened, revealing a powerful laser cannon.

A pincer attack from three sides.

There is no way to avoid it.

Nagato sat in a wheelchair, his eyes cold.

"it's over."

"Jiraiya-sensei."

"Your era has come to an end."

Xiao Nan turned her head away, unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

Jiraiya was facing a desperate situation.

He closed his eyes, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Just when things were at their most critical moment.

"Boom!"

The tower's thick walls were shattered by some terrifying force.

A deep, disdainful voice boomed in everyone's ears.

"Nagato".

"You're really underestimating Konoha."

Jiraiya suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw a familiar figure.

Chiba stood in front of Jiraiya like a demon god descending from the sky.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A massive wooden dragon burst forth, tearing through the steel of the ground.

The wooden dragon's thick body swept across suddenly.

The ferocious hellhound didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was sucked into a puff of white smoke.

The laser cannon fired from the Asura Path struck the wooden dragon's scales, but left not a single mark.

The immense suction force seemed as laughable as a gentle breeze to Chiba.

Chiba stood firmly in place, not even the hem of her clothes was ruffled.

Upon seeing this.

Nagato's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.

He had sensed Chiba's terror through the rain.

But when I actually faced this man...

That suffocating sense of oppression was a hundred times more terrifying than what one could perceive.
