Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

Nagato withdrew his gaze and thought: This guy really puts himself into the role thoroughly. Well, as a fellow actor, I will play this scene with you to the end.

Payne strikes three times, leaps in pursuit!

Jiraiya ran at full speed!

"The free conversion of gravity and repulsion... I never thought that Yahiko's power would be so terrifying in actual combat!"

"To be honest, both of you... even if the other two Pains weren't here, I might not have a chance of winning in a one-on-one!"

"Please...get off my shoulders right now!"

Not getting a response, Jiraiya looked over his shoulder and saw... the two great immortals put their palms together, their cheeks bulging, and they were planning something!

"You two, are you planning to...!?"

"Little Jiraiya, you are not the only one who can judge the situation. We know better than you how difficult the enemy we are facing is!"

"Ahh, at such an old age...are we still going to perform a duet in front of people? It's really embarrassing to think about it."

"You two..."

"Jiraiya-chan, shut up first, we need to concentrate!"

"Ah..." Jiraiya couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

You two, I really, really cannot thank you enough!!!

This scene... was of course faithfully accepted by the Telescope Technique.

Obito said in a deep voice: "The two toads on Jiraiya's shoulders seem to be brewing some kind of technique. You are his disciple, do you know the details of that technique?"

Nagato said: "I don't know. Jiraiya has never mentioned in detail the number of families in Myoboku Mountain. But what is certain is that no matter what technique he uses, he can't do anything to Pein..."

Chapter 85 Toad is singing!

Jiraiya ran in a circuitous manner between the buildings, paying close attention to the figures behind him and adjusting his running route.

Payne said three times, always chasing like flying a kite, not too far away but not too close.

Tendou Yahiko smiled: "The teacher deliberately avoided the residential area. Should we say he is gentle or naive?"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Jiraiya moved back and forth between the striped steel pipes of the building and asked urgently, "Are you ready, both of you?"

"When Toad sings, the other party needs to hear a specific melody in order to successfully fall into the illusion, so the sound reception effect of the environment is also very important!"

"Little Jiraiya, go into the pipe, but you have to let him see you so that you can successfully lure him over!"

"I understand!" After Jiraiya jumped down from the roof, he aimed at an oval-shaped pipe entrance, slowed down his pace, and when three figures appeared behind him, he leaped into the pipe!

At first, Jiraiya was still worried that the other party would think he was cheating and would not follow him, but it was not until he heard the "dong dong dong" sound of metallic footsteps behind him that he finally felt relieved.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "That's right. Up to this point in the battle, except for the end of the 1v1 battle, I gained some advantages. The rest of the time I was almost passively beaten... So, he didn't take me too seriously."

"But it is this contempt that brings me the opportunity to turn things around!"

"Little Jiraiya, we are ready and can start singing at any time!"

"Please be patient, both of you. To be on the safe side, let's sort out the current situation!"

"Pain has six bodies, each with independent abilities. The Pain who absorbed chakra attacked me before I summoned the two of you, but for some reason, he suddenly disappeared..."

"Now that I think back to the previous scene, the phenomenon when he disappeared was 'psychic'!"

"Psychic?"

"That's right. According to Minato, among the enemies, oh, that is, among the Pain, there is a being that can summon spirits! It should be the Pain who absorbed the power of the Pain General and summoned him temporarily for some reason!"

"Some reason?"

"I don't know the details... And according to the intelligence, Pain, who can summon mechanical armor, did not appear in the battle with us."

"Plus, Yahiko said before... no other Pain will appear."

Jiraiya's eyes were full of insight: "I will boldly associate it! The three Peins who couldn't show up must have encountered other emergencies and couldn't be transferred here!!"

"Huh?? Now that you put it that way, Jiraiya-chan, it seems to make sense!!!"

"But, that's just speculation after all, right? What if that guy is just talking nonsense, hoping that we will underestimate the enemy and launch a surprise attack? Wouldn't that be exactly what we want?"

Jiraiya lowered his eyes, his tone becoming heavy: "I regret to tell you two, if this is the case, even if you two successfully activate the Toad Singing, it will probably be useless. We simply don't have the slightest chance of winning, and even your lives will be in danger..."

"So, this will be a gamble, and the risk is huge. So, after weighing the pros and cons, it is the wisest choice for you two to leave my shoulders at this moment..."

"Hahaha, little Jiraiya, you're the only one who can say something to discourage us from attacking when we've already prepared our ultimate moves!"

"Actually, you're overthinking it! Even if there are still three enemies lying dormant, it will take time to get them into battle! The kid's father and I will sing a song to our heart's content first, and knock down the three enemies behind us. It won't be too late to decide whether to advance or retreat then!"

"Yeah, yeah~ what the kid's mother said makes sense, let's do it!!"

"You two..."

"Don't be so thankful#!! I have to keep singing while talking, but it's really awkward!!!"

"Great! Thank you so much!!"

When he was about to run to the exit of the pipe, Jiraiya stopped and turned around, listening to the sound of footsteps approaching in the pipe! !

"Only Yahiko... His ability requires special caution! Activate at this distance!!"

"Gu Gua~!? Gu Gua~!?" On Jiraiya's shoulders, the cheeks of the two great immortals puffed up, and the frog croaked with great penetrating power, rising and falling rhythmically and floating forward!

Hearing the croaking of frogs, Yahiko Tendō ran with his eyes downcast: Is the final killer move of the teacher's Sage Mode here? Well, I should be hit by it. Not only to accompany Obito in this scene, but I am also really curious about what kind of feeling it would be after being hit by the strongest auditory illusion that Nagato had been fed up with.

Payne Sandao, ignoring the frog sounds, ran towards them! !

Jiraiya and the other two were excited at the same time: Great! He didn't notice anything unusual and just rushed over! God help us! Let's make him fall into the illusion in one go!

“Gu Gua~?” “Gu Gua~~!?”

In front of Payne's eyes, a blurry rainbow of colors began to appear...

"Is this feeling coming? Okay, let's pretend for the last time!!!"

Tendou Yahiko accelerated and rushed into Jiraiya's sight, reaching out his hand through the air! !

"Teacher! This way..."

"Buzz!!" Suddenly... his Rinnegan began to rotate irregularly in his pupils!

"What……!?"

His outstretched palm froze in mid-air, and he fell in front of Jiraiya with a thud.

Following closely behind him were Renjiandao Youjie and Jiaopei, who also followed in his footsteps!

"Ugh ahh ...

This is not fake, this is real!!

Payne's sight was shared with him, just like the view from a security camera.

At this moment... three of the images were like rotten seafood entrails, flying around in his eyes!

Not only that... he could even smell the rotten smell coming from the depths of his soul!

"Damn it... I've been tricked. This move can even have a certain effect on my body."

"Nagato, are you okay?" Obito asked with concern, walking over and about to pat him on the back.

Nagato pushed his hand away imperceptibly and stood up.

"It's okay. I didn't expect Jiraiya to have this trick. All three Peins have been hit. It looks like they are in big trouble..."

Obito asked, "Where are the other three Pains?"

Nagato said calmly, "Except for the Animal Path, all of them were destroyed in the battle with Hanzo, and have not been replenished yet."

Obito groaned for a moment and said, "Oh, the animal path... That is, the masked woman I saw in Konoha before? Where is she?"

Chapter 86: Namikaze Minato, come on!

Nagato said casually: "I'm shopping with Xiaonan. Why, you want to meet her? How about I summon her now?"

Looking at the picture on the crystal ball, Obito's eyes darkened. "That's not necessary. You really don't have any sense of urgency. If you had let her join the battle with Jiraiya earlier, maybe the situation would not have been reversed by Jiraiya."

At this moment, in the world presented by the illusion, toad warriors holding knives stood on all sides, with their frog palms facing each other. The dark purple liquid barrier in the gap imprisoned the spirits of the three Pains!

"Wow...!!!"

Suddenly, their eyes widened, their consciousness began to close uncontrollably, and bubbles continued to rise from their mouths.

In reality... Jiraiya used the sword he summoned from the scroll and stabbed them in the body!!

Especially Kakupei... Because Jiraiya determined that he had four hearts, he stabbed him a few more times.

Apart from the left arm carrying the Heart of Wind that was destroyed in the previous battle, he saw the three hearts of Thunder, Fire and Water, all accompanied by masked monsters with black tentacles, pouring out from the blade and stopping beating.

Jiraiya...finally felt relieved.

He walked over to the still-dead Tendo Yahiko, who had a large sword stabbed in his chest, and said with a gloomy expression: "I never thought it would come to this."

Tendou Yahiko said in a hollow voice: "Things often happen suddenly, and the reasons are found afterward...teacher."

Jiraiya gripped the hilt tightly and said in a low voice: "So, what was the reason you found for attacking Konoha afterwards? Tell me about it."

Yahiko Tendou said: "The Konoha ninja killed my parents in the war. Is this reason...sufficient?"

"As expected..." Jiraiya said in a low voice, "You never mentioned this matter during your training with me, and I never asked because I was afraid of the possibility. Now that I think about it, it was a kind of evasive mentality."

"It's also my fault... If I hadn't been so reserved at the time, it would have been better. If I had known that you had hatred towards the Konoha ninjas in your heart, I would have tried to reconcile and resolve it, and it wouldn't have come to this."

"But as a ninja of Konoha, I will not allow others to attack my village, even if they are my former disciples!"

"But before we end this, please allow me to sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry that I failed to detect the darkness hidden in my student's heart. I'm not a qualified teacher!"

"Crack!!!" As the words fell, Jiraiya turned the handle of the knife with his hand, the light in Tendō Yahiko's eyes disappeared, and there was completely no sound.

Fukasaku said in a low voice: "Little Jiraiya, could this Yahiko be the enemy's true form?"

Jiraiya stretched out his hand and touched Yahiko's cheek, his eyes slightly gloomy.

"This kind of cold touch is not what a person who has just died should feel. This means that Yahiko has been a corpse for a long time..."

Jiraiya gently closed Yahiko's eyes.

He stood up and said heavily.

"Then, there is only one possibility, which is also the reality I am most reluctant to face. Pain's true form is indeed... Nagato."

"He must be hiding in the Hidden Rain Village. You two, I will go to Nagato's side..."

“Cough cough cough cough!!!!” At this time, Sennin Fukasaku and Sennin Shima started coughing loudly.

"You two..." Jiraiya was embarrassed.

"This toad's singing is really bad for his throat!"

"Right! The consumption of chakra is also first-rate!"

"The enemy's true capabilities are still unknown. If we approach them in our current state, the risk is too great!"

"Little Jiraiya... this trip is worth it if we can find out the true identity of the enemy!"

"I think... why don't we just stop here! Take the existing information back to the village and formulate corresponding measures!"

Fukasaku and Shima and their husband sang the same tune, with the aim of persuading Jiraiya to retreat.

However, Jiraiya has his own long-term considerations.

"Perhaps. Going back now can be considered a gain. However, it also means that the investigation into him will be shelved."

"After all, Nagato replaced Hanzo as the new leader of the Hidden Rain Village. There is no direct evidence to prove that he was the mastermind behind the attack on Konoha. From a diplomatic perspective, Konoha cannot openly attack him."

"and……"

The second half of the sentence was said by Jiraiya in his heart.

Nagato, was his real intention in attacking Konoha simply to avenge his parents' death? He just wanted to steal the "Book of Seals", but how do you explain his strange behavior towards the Uchiha clan?

If... Nagato tried to get his hands on Uchiha's power, then the hidden story behind this would be earth-shattering.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya raised his eyes and said, "It was already very difficult for us to get here when Nagato was not prepared. I really can't imagine how difficult it would be if he was fully prepared!

"It's no exaggeration to say that no one else can get so close to him!"
