Blood... flowed down their foreheads, which were pressed together, making it impossible to tell whose blood was whose!

"Damn it!!!" Shiki cursed, his eyes bloodshot.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Jiraiya slammed his head against the wall again and again... blood splattered everywhere.

Isshiki gritted his teeth and asked in bewilderment, "If my chakra is suppressed, where did this power come from?!"

Rustle... The Vajra Lockdown is loosening!

Whoosh! Chakra was released, spun, and compressed in Jiraiya's right hand.

"The power of a ninja does not come from chakra, but from unwavering faith! Jiraiya - The Tale of the Strong-Willed Ninja. You, who love human culture and are well-read, probably haven't read my not-so-sell-out debut work!"

——Rasengan! ! ! ! !

The Rasengan, imbued with unwavering resolve, pierces through the abdomen of the user!

"Ugh...!!" Isshiki mustered his last remaining chakra and fought back with all his might. Crack! Crack! Crack! The Adamantine Seal that had emerged from his back shattered one by one.

"Awoooo ...

Jiraiya spun his palm with all his might.

"Ughh ...

Finally... accompanied by a shrill scream, a kite, like one with a broken string, flew away in a flash of white light.

boom!!

The Rasengan exploded, unleashing a howling storm...

After the dust settled, Jiraiya staggered to Isshiki, who was covered in wounds and unable to move, and gave him a complicated look.

Whoosh! A ball of light appeared in his palm. He squatted down and placed his hand on Isshiki's forehead, letting the ball of light enter. Then Jiraiya raised two fingers to form a hand seal.

The time is ripe; he is going to awaken Ananda's personality!

Zizizi!

The features that originally belonged to Ananda's body and to Isshiki Otsutsuki... began to fade.

"Jiraiya, keep proving yourself to me..."

Finally, Yishiki suddenly said something cryptic.

"..." Jiraiya paused, his one eye darkening slightly: "I will."

Whoosh! All of Yishi's characteristics vanished... Ananda was transformed back into Ananda!

A few seconds later, the 'wedge' that had disappeared due to the Reincarnation Technique reappeared in Ananda's left palm... His destiny was still not over.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Jiraiya breathed heavily, looking at the unconscious Ananda, his eyes filled with indescribable guilt, and... love!

After six years of living and working together day and night, Ananda had long been both a disciple and a son to him...

*Snap!* He pulled the black rod embedded in his right eye and tossed it aside.

Jiraiya's broad back stood up, carrying Ananda's small body on his shoulder, and he looked up at the space-time vortex that had been opened specifically for him.

"Go home, go with your teacher..."

Chapter 772 Kaguya the Violent God, Long-Awaited

Jiraiya landed and returned from within the Kamui vortex. After nodding to Yu, he handed Ananda to the latter.

Because of the damaged laser, Ananda lost a right arm that could not regenerate, but this was not a problem.

Nowadays, the medical technology in the Ninja Kingdom is advanced. Wearing prosthetics made with bionics will not only not affect their lives, but will also give them powerful combat abilities.

The problem is... on Ananda's left palm, there is a 'wedge' that belongs to the first form.

Jiraiya's appearance drew attention, with people's gazes ranging from surprise and shock to curiosity and confusion.

Jiraiya took a step toward a certain place, and people made way for him.

"Ji, Jiraiya-sensei..." Kushina excitedly stepped forward, Minato placed his hand on her shoulder, gently shook his head, and then looked at his teacher with a complicated expression as he walked past her.

Jiraiya knelt heavily before Hashirama and Mito... People were astonished.

Hashirama rushed forward to help him up, asking in confusion, "Jiji, what are you doing?"

Jiraiya bowed and said, "I must apologize to both of you! It was I who took Ananda away on that night six years ago!"

Swish!

The entire room fell silent.

Among those present were many high-ranking officials from the ninja kingdom, many of whom knew about Anan's disappearance and even that Anan had fallen into the hands of Otsutsuki Isshiki and was being used as a tool for reincarnation.

But more details remain unknown!

"Watergate..."

Many people, including Kushina, turned their attention to Minato Namikaze, because he was the one who looked after Ananda that night. After Ananda was taken away, Minato was depressed for a long time. After he cheered up, he and Yu went to the Kara organization's headquarters to rescue Ananda, but they failed.

Minato recalled the scene when he met Yu after returning from the Shell organization's base that day.

After explaining the situation, Minato said, "I'm sorry, but given the circumstances, this was the only choice I could make..."

Yu closed his eyes, clenched his fists behind his back, facing the sky, his mind unable to calm down for a long time: So, Jiraiya was still alive, and he even chose this path; so, Ananda was taken away in place of Kaede...

After a long while, Yu opened his eyes and said, "Only you and I know that Jiraiya is still alive... Let's not let a third person know for now. This is to cover for him and protect him, so that his efforts will not be in vain."

"Then... what about Lord Hashirama and Lord Mito?"

"I'll talk to them when we get back..."

After that, Minato kept his mouth shut and didn't even tell Kushina the truth.

"Let me speak."

In the tense atmosphere, Yu, another person in the know, spoke out.

Back then, Jiraiya encountered trouble after arriving at the masquerade ball headquarters. He was rescued by Isshiki and became a member of the Kara organization. He also cooperated with Amado's plan, serving as a double agent within Kara... carrying out a plan.

That plan concerns the fight against the Otsutsuki clan and the future of the ninja world.

Although his intentions were good... Jiraiya did indeed do things that hurt Hashirama and Mito, and even more so Ananda.

Now that the mission is accomplished, Jiraiya has returned, carrying thorns on his back to apologize!

Everything has come to light.

"..." Hashirama remained silent, looking at Mito beside him.

Mito stepped forward, her hands clasped at her waist, and said with a dignified voice, "Jiraiya, please stand up and speak!"

Jiraiya, do as instructed.

"You are a ninja, as are Hashirama and I. Ananda is the son of a ninja and will become a ninja in the future!"

After this opening statement, Mito looked directly at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, tell me, what is a ninja?"

Jiraiya solemnly declared, "One who endures and moves forward!"

Mito laughed and said, "You did it! You are worthy of the name of a ninja!"

After a pause, Mito said sincerely, "From now on... could I ask you to continue teaching that child? I believe that if it's you, that child will definitely not go astray!"

Hashirama stepped forward and said, "That's what I think too! If I were in your shoes, I might not have been able to endure such humiliation and successfully complete the mission!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Jiraiya's heartfelt words boiled down to one: "Thank you both so much!"

Everyone was overjoyed... Many people present were moved to tears by the scene.

Jiraiya's ninja demeanor is captivating, while Mito and Hashirama's elder-like qualities command respect!

They are all worthy of the name of ninja!

After the emotional moment, Mito changed the subject, saying, "Tsuna and Yumu don't know you're still alive, do they?"

Jiraiya wiped away his tears and said, "Ah, I didn't tell them..."

Tsunade is Mito's granddaughter. In fact, Jiraiya is Mito and Hashirama's grandson-in-law, so he's a legitimate son-in-law!

Tsunade was tasked with rescuing the severely injured ninjas and was not teleported there by Amenominaka, while Yumu remained at Yuu-no-Kō Castle to maintain order.

It's probably for the best...

Jiraiya was not yet psychologically prepared to face his wife and daughter.

Mito said earnestly, "Ji, the people you've truly wronged are that mother and daughter."

Jiraiya said with a complicated expression, "Ah, I understand..."

Mito instructed, "When you get back, explain everything to them clearly, make it up to them, and in the future, never be willful on your own again!"

Jiraiya bowed and said, "I will follow your teachings!"

Yu looked up at the sky, where Kaguya still stood, caught in the cycle of Izanami.

"Uchihaha!!!!"

People looked toward the horizon, following the sound.

Glug glug... There, a mountain of dung wriggled, and on its liquid body, facial features emerged. It was Black Zetsu. It had completely adapted to this 6000-ton dung body, and its chakra strength was not to be underestimated.

Black Zetsu roared hysterically, "What did you do to Mommy?!?!"

"..." Yu Du was too lazy to pay attention to Hei Jue. Would a person argue with someone who was like shit?

At this moment, a white-haired monster said, "Speaking of which, the Heavenly Totem is still inside that guy, isn't it?"

"It looks like he was sucked in by that guy!"

"I can't see any totem inside him even with my glare!"

"That's a full 6000 tons of excrement imbued with chakra; it's normal that it's impossible to see through it..."

"That totem is a huge treasure. If we hadn't had it in the early stages of the battle, we might have been wiped out!"

"So, we absolutely have to get it back..."

The problem is... who should go get it?
