Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Shinra Tensei!"

The immense repulsive force instantly sent the three flying, one of whom was injured.

At that moment, Fukasaku called out, "Lord Jiraiya!"

"Senfa·Dayama Rasengan!!"

The Giant Rasengan was a commonly used technique of Jiraiya, dating back to when Nagato himself first appeared.

He and the two immortals had already entered immortal mode and were ready for battle.

The "Tongue-Binding" technique is also one of Shima's signature moves.

Shima's tongue, perched on Jiraiya's shoulder, moved nimbly, coiling and extending outwards.

If Nagato uses that attack that can absorb ninjutsu, its tongue will quickly wrap around Nagato.

At the same time, countless senbon needles, like clouds of mist, were unleashed upon Nagato.

These three attacks work in close coordination, precisely timing the intervals between the opponent's skill releases.

With a deafening roar, the Rasengan struck the ground with tremendous force, instantly creating a massive cloud of dust.

Jiraiya immediately sensed that the attack had missed its target. Without hesitation, he leaped backward several times while shouting, "Who goes there?"

"Just a moment ago, a strange chakra suddenly appeared next to Nagato!"

"As expected of a Konoha ninja, you even noticed this." The space distorted for a moment, and the next second, Obito and Nagato appeared in front of the Konoha people.

Obito smirked, a hint of provocation in his voice, and said, "You won't be able to take Nagato away today. We've been fighting for so long, it's time for us to leave."

"Yahiko's body is still in their hands!"

However, after a moment of silence, Obito turned to Nagato and said, "Calculate how much chakra you have left. If you continue fighting, it will be extremely dangerous."

"Moreover, the White Zetsu's time limit has been reached. Its pressure on your body is too great. Time is running out, and we cannot afford to continue this entanglement."

Obito knew that they couldn't defeat Jiraiya and his group of ninjas in a short time. Moreover, Jiraiya had just sent out a distress signal, and many Konoha ninjas were already rushing towards them.

"He's not as important as you. Konoha's reinforcements will arrive soon. If you stay..."

Before Obito could finish speaking, Nagato fell silent and allowed Obito to suck him into the Kamui dimension.

"Don't even think about running away!" Seeing that Obito was about to escape with Nagato, Fukasaku, the sage beside Jiraiya, took the initiative to act.

With her hands quickly forming hand seals, she shouted, "Big Sister, use the Sage Art of Wind Release and Fire Release—Goemon! A triple combination of wind, fire, and oil, give it your all!"

In an instant, an immense Sage Technique fiercely attacked Uchiha Obito's direction.

However, this incredibly powerful sage technique failed to hit Obito at all.

In just a moment, Obito Uchiha unleashed Kamui and entered the Kamui dimension.

Immediately afterwards, a raging fire swept across, completely igniting the plain in front of them. The fire was fierce, exploding like a sea of ​​fire.

"boom!"

The ground was quickly burned and crystals appeared!

Chapter 147 Kami!

But when the fire subsided slightly, everyone looked closely and found that the enemy had already disappeared without a trace.

"Lord Jiraiya, the enemy has escaped!"

"Quickly treat the wound!" Jiraiya hurriedly ordered the person beside him.

Then, the two toad sages on his shoulders leaped down.

After they left, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

Just now, Jiraiya's facial features and limbs faintly showed the characteristics of a toad.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode fusion lasted quite a long time this time, if not for the opponent's intention to retreat and stop fighting.

If this drags on any longer, he might be completely consumed by the characteristics of a toad, and might even lose his self-awareness.

The toad sage Fukasaku, standing nearby, earnestly warned, "Jiraiya, Sage Mode is powerful, but you absolutely cannot use it for too long!"

Although the two of them can help Jiraiya absorb and balance the natural energy in his body, the longer they are combined, the more obvious the toad-like features on his body will become.

At this moment, another toad sage, Shima, spoke up and asked, "Jiraiya, why are you fighting that brat Nagato?"

"Isn't he your disciple? And the savior you chose?"

Previously, Jiraiya had gone to Mount Myōboku specifically to show off his disciple Nagato to others.

He even believed that Nagato was very likely his chosen savior, and even wrote a book specifically for Nagato.

Although the book uses the name Naruto, the character is based entirely on Nagato, and it has been officially published.

"Speaking of this matter, it is indeed somewhat complicated," Jiraiya said with an ambiguous expression.

Now, this disciple may become an enemy of Konoha.

Danzo of Konoha killed Nagato's friend, who was also another of Jiraiya's students.

Jiraiya harbored a burning rage within him, hating Danzo to the core and wishing he could kill him outright.

If Danzo hadn't gotten involved with the higher-ups of Amegakure, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

In this light, Nagato doesn't seem to be the chosen one that the master described.

"Little Jiraiya, you see for yourself. We two old guys support you!"

"Let's go back first. There's no more fighting here. I'm exhausted after fighting for so long. There's still food waiting for me at home," Shima-sensei said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help today, Boss and Big Sister." Jiraiya waved goodbye to the two toad sages on his shoulders.

The two toad sages then dispelled the summoning spell amidst a swirling cloud of mist and returned to Mount Myōboku.

Afterwards, Jiraiya hurriedly went to help handle the post-war matters.

Their casualties in this battle were quite significant.

Jiraiya quickly organized his men to provide basic first aid to the seriously wounded and to arrange for the minorly wounded to evacuate the area in an orderly manner.

After all, such a fierce battle had just taken place here. Once the news spread, it would definitely attract the attention of Amegakure. Hanzo might have already sent people over.

According to statistics, about 30 people died in this battle, and more than a dozen were seriously injured, but they will recover quickly after returning home.

The remaining twenty-odd people were all slightly injured, and most of them had exhausted their chakra.

Their only reward for this trip was Yahiko's corpse.

Jiraiya carefully placed Yahiko's body into a sealing scroll and kept it close to his body, intending to hand it over to the intelligence and medical teams as soon as he returned so that they could analyze and study it carefully.

Jiraiya still felt a deep sense of regret.

If it weren't for the masked man's sudden appearance and disruption, he would have had the opportunity to seriously injure Nagato, or even capture him directly.

In this way, Nagato's identity as Konoha's enemy was completely confirmed.

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. If he had been able to capture Nagato back then, he would have done everything in his power to protect him when he returned to Konoha, even if it meant bowing down to Orochimaru.

If we go and find Tsunade, and with his old friend Hiruzen joining us, and with so many people pleading with the Hokage, we should be able to save Nagato.

Unfortunately... Nagato managed to escape after killing so many Konoha ninjas.

Next, Konoha will definitely designate Nagato as an S-rank dangerous individual and launch a full-scale manhunt to kill him.

Knowing that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, a dojutsu with limitless potential, how could Konoha allow such an enemy to roam freely throughout the ninja world?

Not long after Jiraiya and the others left, Hanzo led a group of Rain Ninja to the battlefield to check on the situation.

The intensity of the battle far exceeded expectations; the area within several kilometers was razed to the ground, and even the nearby forest was completely destroyed.

Hanzo's face darkened horribly upon seeing this scene.

No wonder Konoha suddenly sent an envoy; it turns out they were planning to stall him so that Jiraiya and the others could escape.

The more Hanzo thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He had once been intrigued by the secrets of Nagato and the others, after all, it was the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths.

However, the Gedo Mazo was too intimidating. The elite ninjas under Hanzo of the Salamander, along with the elites sent by Danzo, were all wiped out by the Gedo Mazo in a short time.

Moreover, they have no means to counter the heretical demon statue.

The ninjas of Konoha are really audacious!

Hanzo pondered, "This is Amegakure's territory. If Konoha takes Nagato and the others away, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?"

Once we get back, we must capture all those spy ninjas from Konoha. They absolutely will not release him unless we pay a large ransom.

However, having not obtained enough clues there, Hanzo led his men back.

Upon returning, he did not immediately send the Konoha ninja away, but instead conveyed his request for a deep alliance with Konoha to jointly capture the true leader of the Akatsuki organization.

After all, most of the Akatsuki members were from Amegakure, and theoretically, they were all rogue ninja from Amegakure.

After Jiraiya and the others returned to Konoha, he immediately arranged for the wounded to be sent to Konoha Hospital, and then went to the Hokage Building to report the situation to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already learned of Jiraiya's return, given that there were more than twenty wounded at once.

Moreover, he also had a portion of the Anbu under his command. Before Minato Namikaze could even give him a heads-up, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already arrived.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had been waiting for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, Minato, this mission has failed."

His expression was somewhat grim as he slowly recounted the details of the mission.

They didn't make any mistakes during the entire mission, but they never expected that Nagato had a powerful accomplice, probably the masked ninja who invaded Konoha last time, and most likely his own disciple Obito.

Upon hearing of the heavy casualties, Minato Namikaze's expression darkened.

He had sent out so many ninjas and made thorough preparations, yet he still underestimated the power of the Rinnegan.

And no one expected that the masked ninja would actually team up with Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

Jiraiya nodded and said, "Let's hand over Yahiko's body to the intelligence and medical teams first."

After analyzing the current situation, Jiraiya continued, "I don't really believe we can easily deal with the Rinnegan situation next time."

Minato Namikaze looked at Hiruko and asked, "Hiruko-kun, what are your plans?"

Hiruko thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue searching for their whereabouts."
