Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

After a puff of white smoke, Jiraiya's figure finally appeared instantly, landing on the Hokage Rock!

"This, this is..."

Looking at the devastated and ravaged Konoha Village, Jiraiya's expression changed instantly!

"Pain—"

"No, is it Nagato?!"

Jiraiya clenched his fist tightly.

"Damn it, they actually invaded the village so directly, willing to do anything to plunder Naruto?!"

"Nagato, you've truly fallen..."

Jiraiya immediately sensed the most powerful figure among the invading enemies.

Exactly...

Payne, the way of heaven!

He swiftly flew down, rushing towards the direction where Tendo and Kakashi were still locked in fierce battle!

"Has Jiraiya arrived yet?"

Using the Shikkotsu Forest secret technique "Slug Healer," Tsunade did her utmost to protect the safety of everyone in the village, but she herself was already unable to fight.

But upon seeing Jiraiya's figure, her tense nerves finally relaxed slightly...

"please……"

"Jiraiya..."

boom!

Jiraiya suddenly descended from the sky, appearing in front of Kakashi Hatake in an instant, and even in Pain's field of vision!

However, the moment he saw the Heavenly Dao, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare in astonishment!

"You...you're not Nagato!"

"You are Yahiko!"

"But why do you have the Rinnegan?!"

"what is going on?!"

Pain looked at his mentor before him, his expression still as cold as ever.

"I see, it's Jiraiya-sensei..."

"Long time no see."

In Longdi Cave.

"Ok?"

Jiraiya's sudden disappearance surprised both Kabuto and Jugo.

"what happened?"

Jugo frowned.

Kabuto quickly calmed down, but a hint of worry appeared on his face.

"It's a reverse spirit communication technique..."

"I'm afraid something has happened to Konoha Village..."

Sasuke, who was training, seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped and walked towards the cave entrance.

"What happened?"

"Where's the master?"

Kabuto was about to speak, but then hesitated, unsure whether he should tell him.

Looking at the complicated expressions on their faces, Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling.

"tell me!"

He involuntarily clenched his fist tightly.

Kabuto sighed, "He disappeared. It must have been a reverse summoning technique, which means..."

Sasuke was startled.

"Has something happened to Konoha Village?"

Kabuto nodded silently.

"Is it the Akatsuki?"

"Will Itachi Uchiha be among them?!"

Kabuto Yakushi gave a wry smile: "I don't know either. We'll only know once we get back to Konoha. But without the Reverse Summoning Technique, it will take us a long time to get back, and we might not even make it in time..."

Sasuke gritted his teeth, feeling both worried and anxious.

"No, there is one person who knows."

Sasuke immediately rushed towards the depths of Ryuchi Cave.

Kabuto and Jugo exchanged a glance and quickly followed suit.

The White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave has the ability to hear everything in all directions; nothing, big or small, happens in the entire ninja world and nothing escapes his ears.

Sasuke was now going to ask him everything.

The White Snake Sage already knew that Sasuke would be coming.

He lay lazily on the huge stone bed, watching Sasuke panting heavily.

"So, have you completed your cultivation?"

Sasuke said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what exactly happened!"

The White Snake Immortal chuckled.

"What an impolite fellow..."

“If it were anyone else, I would have swallowed them whole, but…”

"Since your cultivation is quite good, I can tell you..."

Sasuke immediately became extremely nervous.

The White Snake Immortal, however, did not seem to care and said slowly, "Your guess is correct."

"The leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, invaded Konoha. His target was, of course, Naruto Uzumaki, and also Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. In order to fight Pain, Hokage Tsunade recalled Jiraiya."

"As for Uchiha Itachi, whom you've been longing for..."

"He is currently in Kisame Hoshigaki Village with his buddy Kisame, trying to seize the Three-Tails Jinchuriki."

Sasuke was immediately shocked!

"Is Itachi Uchiha in Kirigakure?!"

His fist was clenched so tightly that his nails dug into it, drawing blood!

"Uchiha Itachi—"

"I must kill you!"

He abruptly turned his back, ready to leave and seek revenge on Itachi Uchiha!

The White Snake Sage coldly said, "Sasuke, your Sage Mode is not complete. If you give up halfway now, it will only waste more time and energy in the future!"

"Furthermore, do you really think you can kill Uchiha Itachi with your half-baked Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique?!"

Jugo couldn't help but dissuade him, saying, "Besides, it takes a long time to get from Ryuchi Cave to Kirigakure. By the time you get there, Itachi Uchiha will probably have already left!"

Sasuke, however, could no longer care about any of that at that moment.

The Sharingan has been ignited with the flames of hatred!

"Itachi Uchiha rarely shows himself."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I must kill him!"

A chilling chakra erupted from his body—a terrifying, malevolent aura emanating from the fusion of Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique and Sharingan power!

The White Snake Immortal's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself.

"It seems that his cultivation of the Dragon Cave Immortal Techniques has greatly affected his mind, making him increasingly extreme and violent..."

"but……"

"It was precisely because of this hatred that his cultivation speed increased significantly..."

"I'd really like to see who's stronger between him and Itachi Uchiha right now."

Then, the White Snake Immortal chuckled.

“Sasuke, I do have a way to get you to Kirigakure quickly.”

Sasuke stopped in his tracks, turned slightly, and his blood-red pupils reflected a cold light.

"any solution?!"

The White Snake Sage smiled slightly: "You've already signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, so naturally you can be summoned by the Reverse Summoning Technique just like Jiraiya. And I, of course, also have my own subordinates in Kirigakure..."

Sasuke was startled, but then felt a surge of joy.

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

The White Snake Immortal extended his forked tongue, hissing, which sounded sinister and ferocious.

"Very well, since you're in such a hurry, I'll just lend you a hand."

He immediately notified his subordinates using the secret techniques of Longdi Cave.

Then...

boom!

With a soft sound, Sasuke vanished from his spot in an instant!

Jugo and Kabuto looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What should we do now?"

Yakushi Kabuto gave a wry smile.

“We came here with Sasuke, and now that Jiraiya and Sasuke have left, we have no reason to stay any longer.”

"Let's go."

"Where to go?"

"Of course we're going back to Konoha Village. Is there anywhere else we can go?"

"……makes sense."

……

at the same time.

In the Wet Bone Forest.

"Ok?"

The slug sage, who was watching Hinata's training, slightly changed his expression.

Hinata's sensory abilities were already exceptional, and now that she has mastered Sage Mode, they have reached their pinnacle.

She immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly opened her eyes to ask.

"What's wrong, Slug Sage?"

"Tsunade summoned my clones, and on an unprecedented scale..."
