The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

"This Kurozeki is way too enthusiastic about our plan to collect the tailed beasts, and way too suspicious."

Recalling what Deidara said at the Slideshow Meeting before they fell out, Konan agreed and said, "Indeed, that guy has always been mysterious. Even his origins are unknown. Maybe he is the hidden conspirator."

Tendo Pain beside him nodded slightly and continued: "No matter what, we must have a stronger power to protect Yugakure. Konan, I plan to absorb some of the tailed beast's chakra to heal the body."

"That's great, Nagato. You finally figured it out."

Konan immediately showed a surprised expression and changed her address from Pain to Nagato.

Nagato has always lived in the shadow of Yahiko's death, and has been ruling Amegakure and Akatsuki in the guise of Yahiko, and is preparing to bring about nuclear peace with Yahiko's body.

As I said, Nagato's ideals were also borrowed. When his current ideals conflicted with Yahiko's ideals, the priorities began to change.

But now, under the pressure of protecting Yugakure, he finally cheered up. His hidden body must be strengthened and cannot become Pain's weakness.

Because Pain cannot lose. If he loses, everything Yahiko left behind will be in vain.

"We must protect Yuyin first."

……

Hokage's office.

"I disagree!"

Jiraiya slammed his palm on the Hokage's desk, causing a few drops of tea in the cup to splash out, and yelled at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was on the other side of the desk.

The moment he received the plan to encircle the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya immediately ran to the Hokage's office to protest.

If Nagato and his men really attacked Konoha, Jiraiya might be able to do what he said and kill them.

But when Jiraiya had to lead a large army to encircle and suppress the Hidden Rain Village, his aversion to war came to the fore - and his opponents were Nagato and Konan.

"Let me talk to Nagato again! There must be a way to solve this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless for a moment. You, the Jiraiya, must want to die by falling into a toad, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to press the button on his desk, and one wall of the office turned upside down, revealing a huge LED screen.

The screen showed the ruins of the Hidden Cloud Village, a tragic scene.

"Jiraiya, look at these photos. Wake up, they are no longer the children you remember."

Although Jiraiya had known for a long time that Kumogakure was destroyed by the Akatsuki organization, he still couldn't feel the reality without seeing it with his own eyes.

Seeing these scenes now, Jiraiya fell silent for a moment.

Everything that was originally in Kumogakure was destroyed, and there were heavy casualties. Not only were all the combat-capable ninjas killed or injured, but there were not many civilian survivors.

If this scene happened in Konoha... Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but shudder.

How could this happen? Jiraiya couldn't help but ask in his heart, and then he blamed himself, blaming himself for not teaching well enough.

Chapter 77 Do You Know Reincarnation?

Putting aside Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, the current top master in Konoha is Jiraiya.

Although Uchiha Itachi and Might Guy have extreme combat power, their fighting style is not advisable.

And although Jiraiya is naive by nature, he has extremely rich battlefield experience in war.

Therefore, the chief general of Konoha designated by the Hokage this time is naturally Jiraiya.

At this point, Jiraiya could no longer refuse this mission. The bond between them as master and disciple had to be severed with his own hands.

Jiraiya looked at the photo on the screen and said sadly, "Teacher... is there really no room for maneuver?"

Seeing that Jiraiya had accepted the reality, Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed the switch on the desk and the LED screen turned off.

Jiraiya closed his eyes and thought, speechless for a moment.

Then Jiraiya thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Teacher, don't you still have reinforcements from another world? If you have enough combat power, there is still a chance to capture Nagato alive."

"Look, Orochimaru can turn back, Nagato and the others were just bewitched by the treacherous people... and..."

It seems that Zilai is still racking his brains to find a way out.

Look, when asking for help, he doesn’t even call the old man.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe and looked like he was thinking. Jiraiya approached attentively and lit the tobacco.

Although it seems that Jiraiya is a little confused now, but... how can Sarutobi Hiruzen have the right to criticize him.

On the contrary, I like this disciple Zilaiya even more. There is no other reason, it’s just that this kid is like me.

The relationship between master and apprentice in the orthodox lineage of Hokage has always been like that between father and son - even Minato, when he saw Obito on the battlefield, all he wanted to say was "If you are still alive, I hope you become Hokage."

Didn't the Third Hokage also fail to kill Orochimaru back then? I can understand Jiraiya's feelings very well.

Even though it is understandable, we still have to do what we should do.

"It's different, Jiraiya. Nagato is much stronger than Orochimaru."

"Our allies in the other world also have their own enemies to deal with."

"And on the battlefield of Rain Village, no one is sure of defeating Nagato, let alone capturing him alive."

"If we don't hold onto the determination to kill him, we might be the ones to fail."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's words became more and more ruthless, Jiraiya had to accept this reality - facing Nagato, he had no right to show mercy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said, "Jiraiya, you have to accept reality."

Hearing this, Jiraiya sighed and said, "If it's impossible, I won't show mercy."

Hearing Jiraiya's statement, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "As long as they threaten Konoha, no matter if it's my best friend or my..."

Before the slogan was finished, Jiraiya raised his hands in surrender: "I understand, I understand. Even if it is a disciple, as long as they threaten Konoha, you will not show mercy."

Then his expression straightened and he said seriously, "Me too. The tragedy of Kumogakure will never happen in Konoha."

This is the orthodox Naruto.

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen softened his tone and said, "Jiraiya, as long as you go, there may be a chance of recovery."

If Changmen surrenders with courtesy, he will still retain his title of nobility.

"Old man, I understand."

The matter had been settled, and Jiraiya left. Since he was going to the battle, he needed to make thorough preparations.

At this time, the subspace group sounded.

"Third generation, third generation, I'm going to open the door and send Dad over. Please send Itachi to pick him up. The coordinates are a little off this time."

Whitebeard is coming, so we must give him a good reception.

He is not just a powerful man, but a warlord who controls a vast sea area and possesses countless resources, although he is now about to be respected as the emperor.

"cough."

ANBU A and ANBU Shin appeared.

"Kazuto, go inform Itachi to receive the allies."

"Tell Itachi that Konoha is about to enter a wartime situation. There's no need to tell Whitebeard. Just let him recuperate in Konoha."

"Also, the other party is of an unusual size. Send a team of Anbu to maintain order when he visits Konoha and prevent the villagers from harassing him."

"In short, don't surprise your friends."

"Shin, go inform Tsunade and prepare to receive a big client."

As for myself, I still have to arrange for the expedition personnel, so I don’t even have time to surf these two days.

The temporary arrangement for Konoha to go into battle will be the trio of Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi, and Yamato and Kakashi who volunteered to fight.

Tsunade guards the house, while Orochimaru and the Flying Thunder God Formation are on standby at all times.

As for the entourage, a few teams of elite Anbu will suffice. Since there are fewer experts in other ninja villages, we can just bring more regular combat forces.

Whitebeard is now recuperating in Konoha. Although we never expect him to fight for us, he will surely help if there is a fire in the backyard.

From this point of view, the advantage is largely in my hands.

……

Black Zetsu felt something was not going well. Nagato refused his and Obito's return. He and Konan no longer trusted him and Obito at all.

I had clearly brought him very valuable information, and before I could even begin my story, he ungratefully said, "God is invincible," and "As a price for this information, I'll let you leave alive this time."

It's terrible, the chess pieces are out of control.

In fact, ever since Nagato mastered the Six Paths, this chess piece, which was originally used to nurture the Rinnegan, has gone out of control. It has grown too much and become too strong. Although there is a backup plan left by Madara, he dare not activate it easily.

Obito had no other choice but to pretend to be Uchiha Madara to guide Nagato.

The power of the Rinnegan is simply incredible. If the backup plan fails to kill Nagato and make him wake up, then everything will be over.

It’s all Obito’s fault. He couldn’t even defeat Kakashi, making him completely worthless in Nagato’s eyes.

I have to coax that fool myself. It's so hard for me.

Black Zetsu felt tired.

After returning to the secret base, Black Zetsu told Obito about the situation.

"Hmph, the chess piece is out of control."

Obito in the shadows said coldly: "Then it's time to get back the Samsara Eye. Don't tell me Uchiha Madara didn't put any restrictions on Nagato."

Hey, you're pretty smart today.

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito in surprise and admitted, "Indeed, but Nagato has fully mastered the power of the Rinnegan. Using his backup plan is actually very risky."

"Then let's wait for them and the Konoha coalition to be defeated. There are many masters this time, and even Nagato won't have it easy."

Obito stepped out of the shadows.

"This time, Konoha's main force has gone to the Hidden Rain Village."

Seeing that Obito had another good idea, Black Zetsu asked, "Obito, do you mean that we take advantage of the opportunity?"

Obito showed a sinister smile: "We can't let Konoha continue to develop like this, it's too dangerous, let's have another Nine-Tails Rebellion."

Black Zetsu immediately understood that Obito's plan of hitting here and there had begun again.

But this time he decided to agree with him.

Because Black Zetsu also has a good idea.

"Obito, do you know the Impure World Reincarnation Technique left by the Second Hokage?"

"Isn't that Orochimaru's jutsu?"

Chapter 78 The Uchiha family has been loyal for generations

Ninjutsu High School Classroom

The back row is by the window, Wang’s hometown.

Sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the desks in the last row. Uchiha Sasuke propped his chin on one hand, his other hand intermittently prodding the strange fruit covered in spiral patterns on the desk.

It is a devil fruit, and next to it is an instruction scroll written by teacher Orochimaru, which explains the origin and function of the devil fruit.

This is a magical fruit that can instantly enhance one's strength. Logically speaking, Sasuke should have accepted it instantly.

But this explanation is too suspicious.

What does it mean to say "It tastes worse than shit, just bear with it." Do the people who commented on it know what shit tastes like?

Also, this fruit is an ancient species of the so-called Animal Fruit, which claims to significantly increase physical strength and has several powerful transformation forms. It sounds good. But... what does T2 level mean?

Am I, Uchiha Sasuke, only worthy of eating T2 level fruits?

"What is this, Sasuke? It looks weird."

The companions around him had already noticed Sasuke's situation. Naruto came over and shouted, and the others also noticed the strange fruit on Sasuke's table that they had never seen before.

Sasuke touched his chin and explained, "This is a devil fruit. It is said that because the Uchiha family has been loyal for generations, the Hokage specially gave it to them."

Naruto held it up to the sunlight and looked it over, "That looks weird."

"Huh, this tastes worse than shit." Sakura picked up the instruction scroll and started reading it.
