In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Payne was taken aback, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "So, what is your purpose?"

"I will defeat you and bring peace to the ninja world."

"Is that so? That's quite an ambitious goal." Pain smiled contemptuously, turned his back to Naruto, and began his reverse talk-no-jutsu.

The result was unsurprising: Naruto, whose persuasive skills were still developing, was at a disadvantage.

Chiya and Jiraiya stood not far from the two, listening to their conversation.

Qianye made a mental assessment: although Payne's words were rough, his reasoning was sound. His peace theory was equivalent to the nuclear deterrence of Earth in his previous life.

Although it did not completely prevent the outbreak of war, it served as a great deterrent and prevented the occurrence of World War III.

Even so, it is still small countries like the Land of Rain that suffer persecution, becoming victims of the power struggles between major powers.

Overall, Payne is too realistic.

In contrast, Naruto is overly idealistic.

Peace can be achieved through mutual understanding.

Even on Earth, there is deceit and treachery everywhere. For the sake of profit, the Chinese people often betray their own people and then turn around and fawn over foreigners.

Not to mention the cannibalistic world of Naruto.

Thinking of this, Qianye couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. Why think so much for no reason?

Whether the ninja world is at peace or not is none of his business.

I was just an observer.

With a wry smile, Chiya shook his head and turned to Jiraiya beside him, asking with a grin, "What are your thoughts?"

Jiraiya lowered his head slightly, a gentle breeze blew, and his loose white hair and tattered clothes swayed rhythmically in the wind, his eyes obscured by shadows.

Take a deep breath.

a long time.

He had just spoken when he said, "I know everything Nagato said is reality, but even knowing that the ninja world is like this, I still want to find the answers."

"I believe that one day, people will truly understand each other."

Upon hearing this, Naruto, who had been subdued by Pain, seemed to hear it as well, and his gaze instantly hardened.

Unfortunately, as determined as he was, at this moment, unless the Nine-Tails went berserk, he had no chance of turning the tide.

Qianye shrugged. "I have to say, you really are quite naive."

"Even if the day you mentioned really comes, it will definitely be based on having a common enemy, just like the Akatsuki organization now."

"If it weren't for Akatsuki's appearance, the Fourth Shinobi World War would probably have already broken out."

"Once the threat of Akatsuki is gone, we may be able to have peace for a few decades. After that, the ninja world will return to the course of history."

"Just like the First Hokage back then, the First Shinobi World War broke out not long after he died."

"The root cause is the world's pathological ninja system."

"Then..." Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then asked Chiya seriously, "And what is your purpose?"

He suddenly realized that the most dangerous person was not Payne.

It's not the same mask that was used to control the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha.

It was precisely this young man standing right in front of me.

"Who knows? Perhaps I just want to witness the future that is about to unfold in this ninja world, or perhaps I want to create the future."

Chiya uttered a vague statement, gazing at the sky, "It's about time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow fell from the sky, and Jiraiya, Pain, and Naruto all looked up at the same time.

Sakura's limbs swung in the air, and she fell to the ground in an extremely comical manner. (Yancheng Phase 4)

"Ouch, ouch!" Sakura cried out in pain from the smoke and dust.

A gust of wind blew, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing Sakura's disheveled figure.

"Huh, I'm actually alright." She slowly got up and was surprised to find that apart from some minor injuries, she was completely fine.

Just as Sakura was feeling surprised and relieved, Naruto's voice came from beside her, "Sakura, what are you doing here?"

"Naruto?" Sakura was taken aback and turned around, only to be startled by Pain standing next to Naruto.

where am I?

Why did you suddenly come here?

I haven't seen Sasuke yet, I don't want to die.

At this moment, a myriad of thoughts flashed through Xiaoying's mind, with only the image of Erzhuzi in her thoughts.

"Reinforcements?" A black rod fell from Payne's right sleeve and he grasped it in his hand.

"Sakura, run! You can't possibly be a match for this guy."

Seeing that Sakura had come to his aid despite the danger, Naruto was moved and urged her to leave the dangerous place.

Sakura swallowed hard, looking at Pain with a fearful expression, neither running away nor sending reinforcements.

He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind: should he keep his life and try to catch up with Sasuke in the future, or should he fight to the death against the enemy, given the extremely high chance of dying in battle?

Reinforce Naruto.

"You bastard, did you do this? Chiya, what exactly are you trying to do?" Jiraiya grabbed Chiya by the collar.

At this moment, his chakra has been sealed by Chiya.

It's impossible to rescue Naruto even if we wanted to.

At this crucial moment, Chiya sends Sakura here as cannon fodder. Is he trying to make Naruto watch Sakura die at Pain's hands and cause the Nine-Tails inside him to go berserk?

"Didn't you already guess? This is the only way for Naruto to turn the tide. I don't think you want Naruto to be captured by Pain, do you?"

Chiya casually slapped Jiraiya's hand away and lightly straightened his collar.

"You bastard!" Jiraiya stormed off, shouting as he walked toward Pain, "Nagato, that's enough! Stop it right now!"

However, before he could take a step, he felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been hit by something, and then he could no longer move.

Qianye's voice rang out from behind, "Don't waste your energy, they can't see us, let alone hear us."

"Also, there's something I'd like to confirm."

As they were talking, there was a loud bang, the smoke cleared, and "Sasuke" appeared next to Naruto.

He wore a hooded red robe with black cloud patterns, and his expression was aloof.

"Sasuke." Naruto and Sakura were startled, their pupils flashing with disbelief.

Pain, however, looked on with interest, his Rinnegan flashing as he sized up Sasuke. "What a rare guest, Uchiha Sasuke. This must be our first formal meeting."

"I am Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization."

"So, what brings you here? Are you here to rescue Nine-Tails, your former comrade?"

After saying that, a cold glint flashed in Payne's eyes.

"No, don't misunderstand. I just heard from Chiya that the Nine-Tails is about to be captured, so I came to see for myself. I didn't expect to see other old friends besides Naruto."

"Erzhuzi" said calmly.

"Oh? That's interesting."

Payne chose to temporarily back down, but he never relaxed his vigilance against "Two Pillars".

After all, he is too weak right now.

"Sasuke, are you really Sasuke?" Sakura wiped away her tears. The moment she saw Sasuke, her fear and anxiety vanished.
