The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Uchiha Itachi sat in the corner, lowering his head to carve seriously, occasionally taking out the wine bottle to take a few sips, and occasionally coughing as if he was choking.

With the Hokage's permission, Jiraiya immediately left the tent with a high-spirited look on his face.

In Jiraiya's opinion, although the road was bumpy, the disciples finally got on the right track.

It's wonderful that my disciples are willing to lay down their weapons, stop being terrorists, and become the protectors of the Rain Country.

At this moment, he really wanted to go back to Yugakure and take Konan and Nagato to reminisce about the past in their old cottage.

Everything returns to the beginning, it's the best ending

Jiraiya arrived at the Hidden Rain Village.

Arriving at the ruins of the central tower, the sight before him froze his smile on his face.

The rain has become much lighter.

Konan was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling, with Nagato's body covered with white cloth in front of her.

A little further away were the silent Konoha elites.

Kakashi walked closer to Jiraiya and whispered, "It's Obito..."

Chapter 103 This operation is not very good.

"Later, the mist and rain all dissipated, and I walked alone, no one holding an umbrella."

Inside the tent, the lights flickered, illuminating Jiraiya's tired and sad face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his most proud disciple, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, and finally he just patted him on the shoulder lightly and remained silent.

Nagato finally came to his senses, but he didn't expect to be killed by the murderer Obito.

It is really a pity.

Jiraiya vented his anger and told the whole story in one breath, and at the end he kept saying: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had released the Heavenly Path at that time and let Nagato reconnect..."

There wouldn't have been all these twists and turns, but as a teacher at the time, I didn't trust Nagato's sincerity enough.

The Rinnegan is very powerful and has a complex mechanism, so it is difficult for the Toad's singing to take effect a second time.

Under the responsibility, I am extremely cautious in my heart.

"If I trusted them enough... if I had gone to Amegakure at that time..." Jiraiya's voice became low, as if something was choking his throat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, the sparks in his pipe flickering.

Regret? Of course I do.

Pain's Six Paths were destroyed by the three masters of Konoha. This is the first reason.

After Nagato planned to clear his name, his sword became dull. Otherwise, he would have killed Kumogakure earlier, or ruthlessly abandoned the residents of Amegakure, without revealing such a big flaw. This is the second reason.

Obito is insidious, cunning, despicable and shameless. This is the third reason.

Nagato was clearly already sufficiently wary of Uchiha Obito and was ready to take him down at any time.

I guess he's still in a wheelchair even though his legs are healed, just to give Obito a chance to fish. Under normal circumstances, if Obito dares to show up and attack, he'll be covered by firepower and suppressed by summoned beasts for more than 5 minutes, and then the strongest sealing technique will kill him instantly as soon as he shows up.

But the boat was capsized by a big stupid fish.

It is true that supernatural powers cannot defeat fate.

On the other hand, was this disciple, whom he had never met, innocent? No, his hands were stained with blood. If the coalition hadn't found his weak spot this time, it would be difficult for him to give up his plan to bring suffering to the whole world.

But it's still a pity. He was clearly on the verge of redemption thanks to his own strength, but he collapsed at the last moment. With his strength and the talent under his command, the Hidden Rain Village would surely surpass Hanzo's in prestige, and he might even become the Rain Shadow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Jiraiya, "But it's not your fault. Although they may not be bad at heart, they are all villains after all. We must take adequate precautions."

"This is a responsibility to Konoha and myself."

After a pause, the Third Hokage continued, "You've shown enough mercy."

The Hokage himself showed no mercy and arranged Kakashi's team not as a peace team, but as a decapitation team.

The cunning Hokage's plan also includes a plan for bullying the disabled.

But things went more smoothly than expected. I don’t know what unknown changes happened to Nagato, but his mentality changed from the leader of a terrorist organization to a protector and ruler of Amegakure.

The first words when the Heavenly Dao descended upon us were: Let’s talk after the fight.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, that battle was not for destruction, but for gaining greater voice?

However, everything is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject: "Jiraiya, let Konan represent Amegakure. You are their teacher, help them realize their dreams."

Jiraiya looked up at the Hokage and nodded slowly, "I understand. After this, I will stay for a while."

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally agreed. Jiraiya was already so sad, so this request would definitely be met. With the Akatsuki organization disbanded, it was unlikely that there would be another war in the ninja world in the short term, and the village was not short of high-end combat power for the time being.

Let Jiraiya do his best for his disciples and make up for the regrets.

After Jiraiya left, only the Hokage and Konoha Hina were left in the tent.

The Hokage smoked his pipe and asked Uchiha Itachi, "Itachi, there's news from Konoha that Sasuke has come into contact with Whitebeard."

The war is about to end, the Five-Nation Alliance will soon disband, and Konoha will also return to the capital.

In Konoha, Sasuke had already come into contact with Whitebeard, so it was only a matter of time before he knew about Itachi.

I'm afraid Uchiha Itachi will have to face Sasuke when he returns this time.

The hand that carved the wooden statue trembled slightly, then quickly stabilized. Itachi coughed a few times and said, "It's okay. I will give Sasuke an explanation."

Then came an even more violent cough, and Uchiha Itachi had to cover his mouth to suppress it.

Did I overuse my Mangekyō in the last battle with Pain? Is it that serious?

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but said worriedly: "Itachi, why don't you take a team back to Konoha in advance and let Tsunade treat him again."

Uchiha Itachi refused, shaking his head and saying, "No need. Besides, things here should be almost over. I can go home after the last mission, cough."

Yes, the last meeting of the Five-Nation Alliance was adjourned.

This time, with the advice of Konoha's Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cub, and relying on the shared ties among the five ninja villages, Konoha wiped out Akatsuki with almost no losses.

Although I didn't get the hidden ending, I still got the normal ending.

Although it is a bit regrettable...if Nagato surrendered, Konoha would have one more God Lu Bu.

What a pity, what a pity, this operation is still a bit lacking.

Then give these mercenaries some money and promise them a few things, and then it's time to go back to Konoha.

See you next time, maybe we will be enemies.

Emperor Huowu was thinking.

……

The mysterious subspace.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shared his recent experiences with his group friends.

"Alas, what a pity. It's so easy to take down bad guys once they've cleared their names."

Ace commented, "It's a big mistake to be soft-hearted when you're a villain. The Kumogakure gang aren't good people either. Why did Nagato suddenly show mercy?"

The Land of Rain, located at the junction of wind, fire, and earth, is a war zone. However, it is separated from the Hidden Cloud Village by Konoha.

In other words, even though Kumogakure is evil, it is still the only ninja village that has not harmed Amegakure. However, Kumogakure was destroyed by Nagato himself. Facing the Avengers is probably like looking in the mirror.

"Well, that's a possibility. But if you ask me, it's still the Hokage's fault."

No, why did you suddenly start attacking my brothers?

"Compared to the ocean, your ninja world is so small. Your first generation should have unified it. Establish a ninja world government or something. That way there would be no more wars."

Oh, it wasn't me who was attacked. Ace is right. If that were the case, I wouldn't be the Sandaime Hokage, but the real Hokage.

If I could go back to the past, I would definitely want to learn from you.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly commented: "When people are killed, they die."

Have you gone to Type-Moon for further studies?

"Even the strongest can die unexpectedly. Also, I think you and Ace are getting a little carried away after all that cheating, Naruto. You're expecting too much of a perfect ending!"

"Nagato is the super villain who caused my mentor Jiraiya to perish at sea! I really want to kill the inherently evil Pain with my own hands."

Have you watched Naruto recently?

"Ah, yes."

Oh, it turns out that I have seen Jiraiya falling into the toad.

Chapter 104 This person is Konoha Phoenix

The rain stopped.

The damp soil smelled freshly turned, and Jiraiya's shovel fell for the last time, making a dull sound.

He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the two new graves standing side by side in front of him - Nagato's on the left and Yahiko's on the right.

It's a bit ridiculous that as a teacher, I am actually digging graves for my students.

"Really?" Jiraiya smiled bitterly and shook his head, water droplets falling from his white hair. "How can this be called a farewell ceremony for the young?"

The self-deprecating words made his originally heavy sadness pause.

Xiaonan knelt before the grave, her slender fingers gently stroking the rough wooden tombstone. She folded two paper flowers and placed them on each grave.

Jiraiya stood silently behind her, the water on the leaves dripping and hitting his forehead protector, making a slight sound.

"Yahiko is always at the forefront. He always knows where to go." Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid to wake something. "Nagato... until the very end, he was thinking about how to realize Yahiko's ideals."

"Sorry." Jiraiya's voice was a little hoarse. "I'm late."

Perhaps bringing them back to Konoha was the right choice.

Perhaps choosing to inherit the position of Hokage was the right choice at the time.

After wasting years trying to fulfill his prophecy, he unexpectedly discovered that the person chosen by fate was the old man next to him.

He wanted to denounce Obito's madness, resent Danzo's conspiracy, and even blame his teacher's calculations, but in the end all the spearheads were directed at himself.

For the first time, the hero Jiraiya truly felt the absurd joke of fate.

"Xiao Nan, what are you going to do next?"

Revenge? Jiraiya wanted to ask this, but couldn't say it.

Silence stretched in the air. After a long pause, Konan spoke softly, "I don't have the leadership of Yahiko, nor the power of Nagato. In front of them, I am always a mediocre follower."

She slowly raised her head, and the first ray of sunlight after the rain penetrated the clouds and fell on her pale face.

"But now Nagato is gone. I am the only one left to carry on their shared ideals."

Among the three of them, Xiaonan was the one with the least opinion.

Now she has to carry the dreams of three people alone.

Jiraiya took a step forward, placed his hand firmly on her thin shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I will help you."

Xiaonan was stunned.

Jiraiya continued, "I have already spoken to my teacher, and Konoha will help you as well."

Jiraiya was thinking: If he had had this kind of say in Konoha, would Shimura Danzo have had the chance to harm his disciples? And Nagato wouldn't have gone astray after Yahiko's death.

No. I already had it, but I evaded this right and responsibility.

Jiraiya said again, "I can now represent Konoha."

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei."

The sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the two new graves.

……

The Five-Nation Allied Forces Camp.

The leader of the alliance, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat on the main seat, and beside him was the Konoha's Phoenix Hatchling, Uchiha Itachi.
