At the top of the water tower, Tobi, the last remaining member of the Akatsuki, stood quietly, silently watching everything that was happening on the land of the Rain Country.

The battle between Hidan and Pain was incredibly powerful, so powerful that it shook the heavens and the earth, as if the whole world was trembling.

Even in the midst of such a fierce battle, even if he was in the toilet, he would still cut off the toilet rack to see what was going on.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

A crisp sound came from behind Ah Fei; it was the sound of the iron ladder being stepped on.

He turned his head at the sound and saw White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, their heads covered by pitcher plants, panting as they climbed up the iron ladder.

"You're really something else! You always choose places where you can't use your mayfly technique to sneak around. What are you thinking?"

White Zetsu was panting heavily, looking as if he might collapse from exhaustion at any moment.

"You know, this water tower is over a hundred meters tall!"

Bai Jue gasped for breath and shouted in despair.

"Why are you yelling at me? I didn't choose this place."

Afei was so angry that he kept waving his arms and legs, and his unique quack voice was croaking loudly.

"If it's not you, then who is it?" Bai Jue stared intently at A Fei with a skeptical look in his eyes.

Just then, Ah Fei suddenly spoke.

This time, however, it was no longer that quirky, hoarse voice, but instead a deep and resonant one.

"Next time, let's go somewhere else. First, tell me how the intelligence gathering is going?"

"Huh?" Bai Jue was startled by A Fei's sudden change.

This guy's transformation is too fast! Could he have a split personality?

Black Zetsu pondered for a moment, then slowly replied:

"The situation is not good."

"Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, has attacked."

"Jiraiya? What's he doing here?" Tobi's brows furrowed tightly beneath his mask.

You know, this guy is no pushover.

"Probably to gather intelligence on the Akatsuki organization."

"The Akatsuki organization has become a target of everyone in the ninja world, so it's not surprising that it has attracted the attention of Konoha."

Ah Fei nodded slightly, then continued to ask:

So what exactly is the current situation?

"Nagato has been defeated, and all Six Paths of Pain have been wiped out!"

Black Zetsu's voice was incredibly heavy, as if it were carrying a thousand-pound burden.

"Huh? Jiraiya is that strong?!"

Afei was extremely surprised. In his understanding, even if he wanted to deal with Nagato, it would take a lot of time.

But how long has it been?

Five minutes?

"It wasn't Jiraiya, it was Hidan who did it."

"If I'm not mistaken, today isn't April Fool's Day."

Ah Fei said meaningfully.

You should know that Hidan died a long time ago and was buried deep underground. Without any nutrition, even if he had an immortal body, he would probably be a lifeless corpse by now.

"It may sound unbelievable, but Hidan is indeed still alive and has joined Konoha."

"I noticed that his attire is somewhat similar to Might Guy from Konoha, and he can also use the forbidden Eight Gates technique!"

"Eight Gates Formation?"

Detailed information about this forbidden technique immediately flashed through Afei's mind.

It is a forbidden technique that can remove physical limitations in a short period of time, thereby gaining immense power.

This forbidden technique is terrifying. Even an ordinary genin can easily defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who are famous throughout the ninja world, after using it.

However, Afei's voice remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever:

"It doesn't matter. No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't hit anyone."

"But he also has the Rinnegan."

"What?!" Black Zetsu's next words stunned A-Fei.

He abruptly turned to look at Black Zetsu, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

Black Zetsu's voice was also filled with doubt:

"As far as I know, there is only one pair of Rinnegan in this world. I don't know where the pair on his body came from."

"Ha-hoo-hoo!"

Afei took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

"Take me to see this!"

After a moment, Afei said in a serious tone.

Black Zetsu pointed in a direction and then turned to climb down the iron ladder from the water tower.

"Stop climbing, I'll teleport there."

Suddenly, Afei reached out and grabbed Black Zetsu's shoulder.

Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Afei unleashed his divine power, and a mysterious spatial vortex instantly appeared, about to pull them into it.

Just then, Afei suddenly made a questioning nasal sound.

"What's wrong?" Black Zetsu turned his head and asked.

"It feels like something is watching me."

"It's probably just a mosquito, ignore it."

Afei's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "This mosquito is really good at catching peeves."

It's important to know that when Kamui is activated, he is in a physical state, but only for a moment. If he can get bitten by a mosquito during that time, then this mosquito is really quite powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kamui sucked the two of them in. Only a tiny, almost imperceptible mosquito remained, buzzing around inside.

After circling around a few times and realizing that the other party had indeed left, the little mosquito turned around and flew away.

..........................................

"Haha, it's perfectly normal for an apprentice to be unable to beat his master."

Jiraiya laughed heartily and gently patted Nagato on the shoulder.

The hearty laughter echoed in the air, as if it could dispel all the gloom.

But Nagato looked at Jiraiya calmly and said slowly, "Jiraiya-sensei, you've traveled all the way from Konoha to the Land of Rain, surely you're not just here to catch up with me?"

"Now that you've won, name your terms."

His voice was low and weak, as if he had given up completely and his heart was dead.

“Nagato…” Konan called out Nagato’s name softly, her voice full of concern.

"Konan, you made the right decision to join Konoha. Staying in Akatsuki... there really is no future for you."

Nagato looked at Konan, his eyes filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

Seeing Nagato's dejected state, Jiraiya could no longer sit still.

He stepped forward, grabbed the other person's neck, shook them with obvious displeasure, and then said:

"Hey, hey, hey, Nagato, why do you make me sound like a villain!"

"Is that how you perceive me, Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya's actions were full of intimacy and casualness, as if there had never been any distance between them.

Chapter 217 Recovery

Feeling his mentor's effortless movements, Nagato couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.

His mind involuntarily drifted back to the wonderful times he had spent with Jiraiya-sensei during his youth—those were the happiest three years of his life.

During those days, they studied and grew together, filled with laughter and warmth.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Nagato's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed, "I'm sorry... Jiraiya-sensei."

Nagato's tone was filled with guilt and self-blame; he knew that his past actions had disappointed Jiraiya-sensei.

Seeing that Nagato had calmed down, Konan quickly spoke up:

"Nagato, Jiraiya-sensei has come here this time to help and change us."

She then quickly explained Jiraiya's plan.

When Nagato heard Konan say that Jiraiya could revive Yahiko, he was completely stunned.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. After a long while, he slightly raised his head and spoke in a heavy voice:

"Resurrection...?"

"But this doesn't help..."

"Changing the world cannot be achieved by resurrecting someone. Only power can accomplish this!"

Over the years, Nagato had witnessed too much suffering and injustice, and had long been convinced of the idea of ​​collecting the Tailed Beasts to intimidate the ninja world with force, and then bringing peace.
