Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Moreover, Nagato could have taken Jiraiya's life earlier, but he spared him out of consideration for their master-disciple relationship.

If Jiraiya were to turn around and ruthlessly kill his disciple, he wouldn't be able to get over that mental hurdle.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed, sheathed his stone sword, and said to the two immortals perched on his shoulders:

“I was his disciple and I were master and disciple. He spared my life first, so when it came to my turn, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. At least this time, I can’t do it.”

The two immortals exchanged a glance, but did not blame Jiraiya. Instead, Shima comforted him:

"It's alright, Jiraiya, we understand how you feel."

"Boss, Big Sister, how long can your genjutsu control Nagato?" Jiraiya suddenly asked.

"At most three minutes, after which Nagato will wake up," Fukasaku replied truthfully.

"enough."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately turned and walked out of the illusion space, explaining his plan: "While Nagato is unconscious, let's quickly rescue Gamabunta and the others, and then evacuate Amegakure."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body passed through the spatial ripples and returned to the real world.

"It's about to start."

Jiraiya let out a sharp shout, his gaze intense, and leaped from his spot, charging towards the Chibaku Tensei floating in the sky.

Super large jade spiral pill!

He gathered the last of his Sage Chakra and unleashed this attack, striking the surface of Chibaku Tensei with all his might.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the Earth-Exploding Star was violently impacted, and a huge gap appeared on its surface, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading across the sphere's surface.

Large amounts of rocks and debris detached from the sphere and fell back to the ground, crashing heavily onto streets and buildings.

Boom boom boom.

Three more loud explosions followed, and the three toads broke free of their restraints. With the help of Jiraiya, they finally escaped from the Planetary Devastation.

"Boom!" Their enormous bodies turned into three wisps of white smoke in mid-air and returned to Mount Myōboku.

"Has everyone gathered?"

Jiraiya landed on the ground, frowning as he asked. His gaze swept across the crowd, noticing that Minato, Kakashi, Guy, Shisui, and the others had all regained their mobility and were waiting for his orders.

"Minato, you lead them to safety first. I'll stay here to cover their retreat, and then we'll catch up and meet up with you," Jiraiya immediately ordered.

"Yes, Lord Hokage. Please be careful and make sure you return safely."

Minato Namikaze nodded and immediately led Kakashi and the others out of Amegakure.

Jiraiya waited in place for two minutes, estimating that the Konoha villagers had already left the village, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought with him only the most talented young ninjas of Konoha, each of whom would become a pillar of the village in the future. If these people were to perish here, it would undoubtedly be a devastating loss for Konoha.

"Jiraiya, we're leaving now. You can decide what to do next."

At this moment, Fukasaku and Shima gave Jiraiya a few words of advice, and then, looking exhausted, turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode mask disappeared, and his frog-like form returned to normal. After losing the power of Sage Mode, he felt weak and knelt down on one knee with a thud.

He endured the excruciating pain throughout his body, slowly stood up, glanced at Nagato who was still unconscious on the ground in the distance, and then left without looking back.

Jiraiya had just left.

On the ground, the white snake tail that Nagato had severed from Kisame suddenly stirred, as if it had come back to life.

The next second, a pair of arms pried open the white snake's mouth from its body, and then a creature with a lantern-shaped head crawled out.

They are two brothers, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, who share the same body.

"We finally escaped. I thought we were going to die."

Bai Jue had a look of relief, but then he noticed that his body was covered in sticky snake fluids. He immediately showed a disgusted expression and casually picked up a few leaves from the roadside to wipe himself off.

Unlike the oblivious White Zetsu, Black Zetsu looked around in surprise and murmured, "What on earth happened?"

Just then, the space beside the two rippled, and a figure appeared.

It's Uchiha Obito.

"Obito, did you come to save us? Wow, I'm so touched!" White Zetsu was overjoyed to see Obito, and almost burst into tears.

"Shut up."

Obito gave a cold shout, glared at White Zetsu with a sharp look, and then looked at Nagato, who was lying unconscious on the street not far away.

He had actually been nearby the whole time.

Obito was an observer during both the battles between Jiraiya and Nagato, and between Nagato and Orochimaru. After all, with his power, he was not qualified to interfere in the battles between sages.

So he waited patiently until the time was right, and finally couldn't hold back any longer and showed himself.

"Madara misjudged Nagato. He shouldn't have transplanted his Rinnegan to Nagato. Nagato's ambition is too great and has become out of control. It's impossible to count on him to help us achieve the Eye of the Moon Plan, let alone revive Uchiha Madara."

"Obito said in a deep voice."

"So, according to you, what should we do?" Black Zetsu asked, his eyes flashing.

"Retrieve the Rinnegan and find a new vessel." After saying this, Obito strode towards Nagato.

"If only it were that easy."

Black Zetsu watched Obito's retreating figure and shook his head. Back then, Madara Uchiha had also gone to great lengths to find the young Nagato, who possessed the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

Only Nagato could withstand the power of the Rinnegan, relying on the vast amount of chakra within his body to nourish those eyes.

But now it seems there is no other way.

Da da da.

As Obito approached Nagato, a glass bottle filled with a clear solution appeared in his hand, which he intended to use to store the Rinnegan he had extracted.

However, at that moment...

Swish.

Nagato, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and stared coldly at Obito.

He had already woken up when Obito appeared, but he continued to pretend to be asleep to see what Obito was planning to do.

As a result, he overheard an incredibly shocking piece of information.

Nagato never imagined that his Rinnegan was not his own, but transplanted from someone else.

Moreover, that person's name is Uchiha Madara.

He was a legendary ninja who once stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, on par with the legendary ninja god Hashirama Senju.

As Nagato was in utter shock and his mind was racing, Obito walked over.

You want to take my eyes? Dream on!

Nagato's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he bit his finger, drew a blood pact on the ground with his blood, and cast a summoning jutsu.

"Oh!"

After a puff of white smoke dissipated, a large white phosphorescent serpent with orange hair and yellow eyes appeared. Its body was coiled and twisted, roughly estimated to be a hundred meters long. It had a red luminous pearl on its head, a bull horn-shaped ornament on its forehead, a green cat's eye necklace on its chest, and two golden rings on its tail.

An aura of elegance and nobility wafted over me.

Along with it came terrifying energy fluctuations within its body, so powerful they seemed unlike any other creature on this planet.

White Snake Immortal.

Nagato actually managed to summon it.

The moment Obito saw the White Snake Sage, his pupils contracted, realizing just how terrifying the opponent was. Without hesitation, he activated Kamui, entered the Kamui dimension, and fled far away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Black and White Duo also sank into the ground and fled frantically.

Meanwhile, in mid-air.

Kisame had been waiting for the illusion barrier created by Toad's Song to dissipate, but unexpectedly, while the barrier did dissipate, an even more troublesome situation arose.

When he saw the White Snake Sage, he knew that there was no chance to take the Rinnegan this time.

With that thought in mind, Kisame no longer hesitated, flapped his wings and flew towards the horizon, quickly disappearing into the sky.

On the streets at ground level.

"Nagato, what's going on? I was sleeping soundly when you suddenly summoned me to this place. Do you really think I'm your summoning beast?"

The White Snake Sage coiled up, looked down at Nagato, hissed, and his gaze was full of displeasure.

It seems that if Nagato's answer doesn't satisfy it, it might eat him whole.

188. Sand Concealment and Demise

Faced with the White Snake Immortal's questioning.

"I apologize. The situation was critical just now, and I had no choice but to summon you. White Snake Immortal, please forgive my rude and offensive behavior."

Nagato immediately knelt on one knee and begged for forgiveness from the White Snake Immortal.

"Never mind, never mind."

Seeing Nagato's respectful attitude, the White Snake Immortal's anger subsided considerably. After all, Nagato was its favored successor, so how could it possibly eat him?

"So, what exactly happened?" It looked around and saw the dilapidated streets, with traces of the great battle everywhere.

"I've fought Jiraiya and Kisame Hoshigaki."

Nagato truthfully told the White Snake Sage what had happened.

After listening to this, the White Snake Sage immediately gave Nagato a serious lecture:

"Nagato, you underestimate your opponent. Kisame Hoshigaki is about your age, yet he's already a demigod in the ninja world and mastered Sage Mode earlier than you. This is enough to show that his talent is no less than yours, and perhaps even stronger, than yours, even with the Rinnegan. Furthermore, Jiraiya is not to be underestimated either. He received the complete instruction of those toads from Mount Myōboku, and he has many tricks up his sleeve."

In its view, Kisame and Jiraiya were, after all, people who had gained the approval of Katsuyu and Gamamaru respectively, so how could they be defeated so easily?
