I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Kitahara Kaede and Jiraiya chatted slowly as they returned to Konoha.

Both of them were masters of physical skills, so they were very fast.

Kakashi and Might Guy were already waiting at the gates of Konoha.

"I saw it!"

"The Chunin, Kotetsu, who was in charge of guarding the gate, quickly said."

"It's the Fifth Hokage, and Jiraiya-sama!"

Izumo, who was next to Kotetsu, also quickly stood up.

They were all ninjas of similar age to Kakashi. Although they were Chunin, their strength was already close to that of Jonin. During the Third Hokage's time, he had approached them and offered to upgrade them.

However, this plan fell through due to the abdication of the third generation.

However... they were still very enthusiastic towards Kitahara Kaede.

It's not that the Fifth Hokage was very young, but that he was very strong and... brought absolute glory to Konoha.

During the Third Hokage's era, the ninjas of Konoha had to keep a low profile. When the Cloud Ninja invaded Konoha, they could only treat it as peace.

It was incredibly frustrating.

However, things changed after Kitahara Kaede took office. The Hidden Cloud Village was gone, and all the prisoners had arrived in Konoha.

Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha who had left the village in the past, returned to the village several times.

Looking at it now, the probability of them staying in the village is quite high.

Not to mention the village's strength rapidly increased after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Izumo's father died protecting his children when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, so they were all very happy to be able to return to the world.

In particular, his father said that in the afterlife, he was all alone, having met no one and unable to go anywhere.

So... isn't it just torture?

For the sake of the village, for the sake of the children, they ended up in a place where they could neither move forward nor backward.

Therefore, Izumo was very grateful to Kitahara Kaede for bringing his father back to life through Edo Tensei.

Therefore, compared to their own small gains, the two still greatly admire Kitahara Kaede.

after all……

They were merely guarding the gates of Konoha, but when Shukaku appeared, the two were powerless, only to find that Kitahara Kaede had quickly defeated Shukaku in just one minute.

And this is the true way to protect Konoha.

"Finally, we've been waiting for you!" Kakashi and Might Guy breathed a sigh of relief.

“Lord Jiraiya!” Kakashi said. “Please identify Pain’s appearance; we have obtained his features.”

While waiting for Kitahara Kaede to return to the village, the two had already drawn up the blueprints of Pain that they had seen in the small group chat.

"..." Jiraiya.

Jiraiya watched as Kakashi handed him the drawing.

"This person...I remember him."

"Is that so?" Kakashi was overjoyed.

So...Pain really was Nagato after all.

“This is Yahiko,” Jiraiya said. “Judging from his appearance, he might be Yahiko grown up, but… wasn’t he dead?”

“Perhaps he’s not dead,” Kakashi quickly said. “The leader of Akatsuki, Pain, possesses the Rinnegan, and we suspect he is Nagato.”

“No,” Jiraiya quickly said. “What you say makes sense, but this is Yahiko’s appearance.”

"Could it be... that Nagato's eyes were given to Yahiko?"

"But you can't just install the Rinnegan anytime, right? After all, even the Sharingan is very difficult to obtain..." Jiraiya was not confident.

Because he is somewhat disoriented right now.

If a former disciple becomes someone who wants to destroy Konoha... then... did his mentor do something wrong?

Or perhaps... Nagato was actually the chosen one?

“Why not consider that Yahiko died and then Nagato controlled him?” Kitahara Kaede said from the side.

A single word awakened the person from their dream.

“Why not consider that Yahiko died and then Nagato controlled him?” Kitahara Kaede said from the side.

One word awakens the dreamer.

After Kitahara Kaede pointed it out, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, but the thoughts of Tobirama and Minato in the group were confirmed.

Looking back, we can see that when the First Hokage was alive, the five great ninja villages were not in chaos, but after the First Hokage died, the First Shinobi World War began.

With the death of the Second Hokage, the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars began.

It can be said that Konoha, to some extent, determines whether the ninja world is in chaos or not.

And now, the new Pain, is he just someone who jumped out of the stone?

Therefore, what is more acceptable is that Pain's Rinnegan is the same Rinnegan possessed by Jiraiya's brother, Nagato.

If he possessed the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, would Nagato have died so easily?

so.

Kitahara Kaede's suggestion that Yahiko died and was then turned into Pain by Nagato to be controlled makes a lot of sense.

Judging from Jiraiya's behavior, he is quite reliable. He was saddened by the deaths of Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko, and became withdrawn because he was unable to protect Minato from dying.

Therefore, he is still trustworthy.

So……

What kind of disciples did he train?

As the second disciple, Minato Namikaze performed very well.

So... what about the senior brothers and sisters in front of the water gate?

The intelligence provided by Itachi Uchiha, a loyal dog of Konoha, indicates that the Akatsuki organization's initial intention and goal were to pursue peace.

and so.

This is very much in the style of Jiraiya's disciples.

So... now it's turned into this twisted form of Pain.

"..."

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's Group (^_-)]

[Minato Namikaze]: Could it be that Nagato's parents were killed by people from Konoha?

These are the words that Pain said when he joined the group.

[Minato Namikaze]: But Jiraiya mentioned that Nagato's team was taken in after they became orphans.

[Tobirama Senju]:: This refers to the time during the Second Shinobi World War, when Jiraiya, Tsuna, and Orochimaru fought against Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: Hanzo was known as a demigod in the ninja world at that time.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Oh? A demigod? Does that mean he's very strong?

[Unmarried Older Single Woman]: Well, saying he's strong is one way to put it. He's known as Hanzo the Salamander, with the salamander being his summoned creature, skilled in using poison.

[Unmarried women in their late 30s and 40s]: They're highly toxic. However, it's wrong to call someone of this caliber a demigod.

[Unmarried women of advanced age who can't get married]: Because he can also use water escape techniques, but not as much as the Second Hokage's sea escape techniques.

[Tobirama Senju]: Is that so?

As a Sea Release... well, as the Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama was quite proud of his Water Release techniques.

[Tobirama Senju]: So that means when the cat's away, the mice will play.

【Tobirama Senju】: So this Hanzo of the Salamander rose to prominence and then disappeared.

[Unmarried women of advanced age who can't get married]: Pretty much. It was after his death that Amegakure became more low-key. I suppose it was around that time that Jiraiya took in Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: They probably want to start from Amegakure and seek world peace, even if it means being in hell themselves, but they don't want everyone else to stay here together.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: From this perspective, the Akatsuki organization is actually quite powerful.

[Minato Namikaze]: Lord Mizukage, how do you know so much?

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: While sorting through the files on Kirigakure, I discovered that the Akatsuki organization once wanted to represent Amegakure in seeking peace with Kirigakure.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So Jiraiya has spread the seeds of peace.

[Tobirama Senju]: But in the end, it failed.

[Unmarried older single woman]: Yes, it failed. It seems that after the Akatsuki was formed, they fought against Hanzo of the Salamander. Afterwards, the leader of Amegakure changed.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: And then they became more low-key.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: It seems that Konoha ninjas were involved in this process, impersonating people from other ninja villages.

[Tobirama Senju]: Then it must be Danzo's fault.

[Big Pillar Silly]: ...

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama, your disciple is really...

[Tobirama Senju]: I'm also having a headache. They're all trying to trip up Konoha.

(bddg) [Minato Namikaze]: How should I put it? It seems that Lord Danzo's approach was to create chaos in other villages in order to ensure the safety of Konoha.

【Tobirama Senju】: But in terms of the result, it was a complete mess.

[Minato Namikaze]; That's true... And then, Naruto too...

When the water gate appeared, everyone fell silent.

Tobirama knew that the Konoha F4 had wronged Minato.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: So, it's possible that Yahiko died while the Akatsuki were dealing with Hanzo of the Salamander.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: So, Yahiko died, and Nagato changed, using the Rinnegan to control Yahiko, right?

[Minato Namikaze]: This analysis makes the most sense. In the end, someone who once yearned for peace chose this method.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: So it must be Uchiha Madara!

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: Madara Uchiha has this kind of personality!

[Tobirama Senju]: Although I know you are very afraid of Madara Uchiha, Onoki.

[Tobirama Senju]: However, I also have reservations about the Rinnegan and the theory that Madara Uchiha faked his death and manipulated things behind the scenes. After all, it's a possibility.

[Kurama]: So, the mastermind behind everything was Uchiha Madara! That despicable guy.

[Shukaku]: You humans are really complicated.

[Eight-Tails]: So, I was extracted because of this. Yahiko died, then Nagato changed, and then he's going to use his power to intimidate the world?

[Yata]: This is the peace he wanted.

[Tobirama Senju]: Who knows, but... even with such a past, it's unacceptable for either Nagato or Pain to attack the village!

Minato Namikaze: Yes.

[Big Pillar, Silly]: As Hokage, we have to protect the village no matter what.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Understood.

Minato Namikaze: Kakashi, you've arrived!

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Yeah, I also brought Jiraiya online.

【Dazhuzi Hanhan】: That's perfect, @Hao-Se Xianren, come and take a look at the group chat history.

[The Lustful Immortal]: Eh...
