Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Upon hearing this, Konan's face was filled with disbelief. Her eyes widened as she anxiously asked, "Why would Jiraiya-sensei bring other people to deal with us?"

He used to be our teacher and took good care of us for three years. In Xiao Nan's heart, he was indeed a really good person.

Obito shrugged, looking indifferent, and said, "Because of Danzo, you and Konoha have formed a deep-seated hatred. They are afraid that once you grow up, you will launch a direct attack on Konoha, and then Konoha will be in grave danger."

"Moreover, if it weren't for the Rinnegan, even if you stayed by his side for another three years, you wouldn't learn any real skills."

In his eyes, you children aren't that valuable; you're just passersby in his life.

Upon hearing this, Nagato and Konan both fell silent, and the secret room became deathly quiet.

Just as Obito said, Nagato desperately wanted Jiraiya to teach him ninjutsu, but Jiraiya always refused, making excuses for not doing so.

In the end, it was only when Nagato unleashed the power of the Rinnegan in a desperate situation that Jiraiya changed his mind, recognized him as the savior, and then taught him ninjutsu.

"Should we leave here? That's up to you," Obito said slowly.

"Our organization's purpose is to protect the Eye of the Moon Project, allowing you to use the power of the Rinnegan to achieve peace. This has always been our mission."

Hearing Obito's words, the White Zetsu muttered to himself that Obito was starting to resemble Madara in his behavior.

During the genjutsu, Madara must have taught Obito how to deceive people, otherwise Obito wouldn't have been able to speak so eloquently.

"I'm staying. This is where I can realize my dreams. If I run away, it's like giving up my dreams and letting that weirdo help me!"

At this moment, Nagato's gratitude towards Jiraiya was overwhelmed by hatred.

In his view, he had already let Jiraiya off the hook last time, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him again.

Jiraiya still brought a bunch of Konoha ninja to capture him and take him back to Konoha, which made him extremely angry.

"Get that weirdo from last time to help you?"

"Ah, how rude of me. I also have a name. Please call me White Zetsu." At this moment, White Zetsu, who had been hiding behind the stone pillar, couldn't help but come out.

He is not one of those ordinary White Zetsu clones, but the most advanced White Zetsu with self-awareness and the need to defecate.

Obito glanced at him and said, "Go ahead and use it!"

"However, before Jiraiya finds you, you should try your best to replenish all six clones. The more clones you have, the stronger you will be, and you will have more protection when the time comes."

The six clones are actually six specially treated corpses.

Each of these clones possesses a portion of the powerful and mysterious abilities of the Rinnegan.

They rely on slender black rods to transmit their chakra, thus maintaining their movement.

The black rods resembled black blood vessels, continuously transmitting the main body's power to the clone.

If all six ninja clones were present and worked together, their combined power would be enough to make it difficult for the Konoha ninjas to pose a real threat, even if they were to launch a full-scale attack.

----------Konoha-------

Hiruko held Nohara Rin's hand tightly and happily led her to the Konoha amusement park.

As soon as you enter, a colorful carousel comes into view, and cheerful music drifts in.

Hiruko turned her head and looked at Nohara Rin gently, her eyes full of smiles: "Nohara Rin, do you want to ride the carousel? You'll look as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale riding it."

Rin Nohara's cheeks flushed slightly as she softly replied, "Okay, whatever you say."

The two chose a beautiful white wooden horse. Hiruko carefully helped Nohara Rin sit on it, and then sat down behind her.

The carousel slowly began to turn, and a gentle breeze caused Rin Nohara's hair to flutter softly.

Hiruko couldn't help but reach out and gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, whispering, "You look stunning today."

Rin Nohara's heart raced, and she lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help but smile.

As I got off the carousel, screams came from not far away; it turned out that a roller coaster was rushing by.

Hiruko's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Nohara Rin's hand: "Rin! I'll go with you."

Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment, but seeing the expectant look in Hiruko's eyes, she nodded: "Okay, with you here, I'm not afraid."

Sitting on the roller coaster, as the car sped forward, plunged, and turned, Nohara Rin couldn't help but scream loudly.

Hiruko held her hand tightly and shouted in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

After getting off the roller coaster, Nohara Rin's legs were still a little weak. Hiruko pulled her into his arms and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Were you scared?"

Rin Nohara nestled in his arms, feeling his warmth, and whispered, "It's okay!"

While the two were having fun, Obito was working hard on his career!

After the outing, dusk was falling on the horizon, and Hiruko offered to take Nohara Rin home.

This suggestion stirred a slight ripple in Nohara Rin's heart, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that night.

The same scene, except that back then the stars were shining brightly, but now it's almost the end of the day.

She thought to herself that it had been quite a long time since she had seen Kakashi.

His voice and appearance in my memory seem to be shrouded in a thin mist, becoming less clear.

Nohara Rin understood that this was the subtlety of human memory: the distance of time could make the familiar become strange, while the warmth of reunion could bring the strange back to the familiar.

She shook her head slightly, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips. Perhaps this is just the norm in human relationships.

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin unconsciously looked up at Hiruko beside her.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his profile, outlining a resolute and handsome profile. It was a mature and steady charm, different from Kakashi's youthful innocence, with its own indescribable allure.

Rin Nohara's heart raced inexplicably, as if something was quietly sprouting within her.

"Lord Hiruko, please come in and have a cup of tea before you leave~" Nohara Rin was startled as soon as she said it.

She had just eaten dinner and was neither thirsty nor hungry, so the intentions behind this invitation were something even she couldn't quite put her finger on.

A young girl's thoughts are like a flower just beginning to bloom in spring, shy yet carrying an indescribable sweetness.

Upon hearing this, Hiruko's gaze gently swept over Nohara Rin, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through the little secrets in her heart.

He smiled slightly, a smile that held a hint of doting and understanding. "Okay."

He agreed softly, his tone carrying an undeniable tenderness.

The two walked into the house side by side. The soft, warm light in the entryway added a touch of romance to the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

Rin Nohara's heart pounded like a drum. She secretly told herself that this was just the confusion unique to adolescence, a result of hormones, and not true love.

But she also knew that if this feeling continued to grow, it might one day become an inseparable emotion.

I guess I'm just like Obito!

Hiruko was increasingly looking forward to the scene where he would face Obito in person.

Obito looked at Nohara Rin, who was nestled in his arms, gazing at him with a loving expression.

I wonder what his expression will be.

Meanwhile, at the border of the Land of Rain, a group of Konoha ninjas were slowly advancing.

In the group, a ninja from the Hyuga branch family slightly raised his head and cautiously asked through his rain-soaked headband, "Lord Jiraiya, we have entered the Land of Rain. Where should we search next?"

His squad was the only search squad among all the teams.

The team comprised ninjas from the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans, each possessing unique skills, and should have been a formidable exploration squad.

However, in the Land of Rain, a place with a harsh environment where it rains all day long, the abilities of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans were greatly limited.

The Inuzuka clan's ninja dogs' sense of smell was greatly diminished by the rain, and the Aburame clan's parasitic insects also struggled to exert their full strength in the damp environment. Unless the rain stopped, they could hardly fight as flexibly as they could in a dry environment.

"I know a few small towns that are probably frequented by Akatsuki members."

"We're now divided into four teams, each no more than two kilometers apart. If we spot anything, we'll signal immediately," Jiraiya said gravely.

Although he did not want to fight his disciple to the death, he was acting under orders and had no choice but to harden his heart and take down Nagato for the safety of Konoha.

After the arrangements were made, all the squad leaders received their orders and immediately began to take action.

The Akatsuki organization has always been a large and mysterious organization, and it's impossible for them to be completely without clues.

Besides, they came with a mission this time, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to use illusion magic on civilians to obtain information.

Unlike last time, Jiraiya restrained himself solely by his own moral principles, disguised himself, and entered the town cautiously to gather intelligence.

After some careful inquiries, Jiraiya and his group quickly obtained some information about the Akatsuki organization.

They not only found some civilians funded by Akatsuki, but also captured a ninja who had recently left Akatsuki.

Just as Jiraiya was about to contact the Yamanaka clan ninjas for interrogation in order to obtain more crucial information, he suddenly heard a deafening explosion in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a huge signal flare exploded in the sky, its dazzling light instantly illuminating the gloomy sky.

"Found something!" Jiraiya and the other three squads of Konoha ninja felt a chill and rushed toward the direction from which the signal flare had been launched.

Their steps were hurried, their eyes revealed tension, and they all knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

However, when Jiraiya was the first to rush to the scene, the sight before him stunned him.

Standing before him was none other than Yahiko.

The similar face and familiar attire filled Jiraiya with an indescribable shock.

"Yahiko...it's you?" Jiraiya looked shocked, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Then he asked, "Why are you still alive, and why do you possess the same Rinnegan as us? What's going on?"

"How long-winded, Jiraiya-sensei," Tendo said coldly, his eyes devoid of their former respect, replaced only by icy indifference.

"I already told you last time, don't come looking for me again."

"What Konoha has done has completely disappointed me."

After saying that, Nagato slowly raised his hand, his palm trembling slightly, as if gathering tremendous power.

To Jiraiya's astonishment, he shouted, "Shinra Tensei!"

The powerful repulsive force erupted like a nuclear explosion, instantly blasting away the surrounding Konoha ninja.

The repulsive force spread outwards with overwhelming force, uprooting trees and stirring up a thick layer of soil wherever it went.

A deep, enormous crater appeared in the earth, with traces of the impact of the repulsive force still remaining at its edges.

This time, Nagato held back almost no effort. The enormous repulsive force sent the people flying hundreds of meters away. The Konoha ninjas tumbled through the air, screaming in agony.

Nagato's body is not as weak as it would be decades later. After this period of training and with the assistance of White Zetsu, his strength has significantly improved.
