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

"Your ultimate plan also achieves only a temporary peace, which is no different from the current order of the ninja world and the intermittent peace achieved between the various ninja wars!!"

Payne fell silent for the first time.

Because what Jiraiya and Kakashi said made a lot of sense.

However, he had considered these things.

However, he didn't want to admit his true thoughts.

Jiraiya, however, said it for him.

“I know, Nagato, I know you understand the only difference, but you just don’t dare to say it, right?”

"Because once you voice that distinction, you cease to be the self-proclaimed god of peace and become nothing more than a god of war seeking revenge!"

Kakashi Hatake frowned: "Lord Jiraiya, you mean..."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "The only difference between the tailed beast weapons wielded by Pain and those from the Fourth Shinobi World War is..."

"The Ninja World War was initiated by a major power."

"The Tailed Beast weapons are in the hands of the people themselves, that is, the small countries represented by Amegakure."

Kakashi was startled.

I see……

If she is the God of Peace, then the Tailed Beast weapons are indeed of little significance.

But if it is the God of War, then the Tailed Beast weapons are the biggest bargaining chip to counterbalance major powers and keep this ultimate "nuclear deterrence" in his own hands!

However, if that's the case, then saying anything about peace would seem hypocritical.

That's just a small country facing a reverse threat from a large country.

Jiraiya continued, "Nagato, I know the crimes that the great nation committed against Amegakure back then, and I will never deny it!"

"However, it seems that it is you who is denying these things now..."

"Why don't you dare admit that you're seeking revenge against the great nations of the ninja world?!"

Payne remained indifferent.

But Nagato suddenly raised his head from behind!

His face was weak, and he was breathing heavily, with blood even flowing from his nose.

Indeed, no one knows him better than Jiraiya-sensei.

But what's the point of all this?

Pain continued coldly, "Jiraiya-sensei, perhaps you can acknowledge the arrogance and sins of great nations, but unfortunately, the vast majority of people in the ninja world are not Jiraiya-sensei."

"Back then, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure chose to wreak havoc and spread suffering on Amegakure's land simply because of their own conflicts of interest. It was small countries like ours that were ravaged by your war!"

"Would anyone stand up for Amegakure in such a situation?"

"Although Hanzo is the person I hate the most, he declared war on you great nations for the sake of Amegakure. Perhaps it was arrogant or crazy, but he was still a hero of Amegakure!"

"You're right. Perhaps the Tailed Beast weapons and the Fourth Shinobi World War are not so different, but that one difference is also the best difference!"

"The power of war and peace in the ninja world must not be held solely by the five great nations!"

"And I will become the god who rules over all!"

"If I want war, then there will be war!"

"I want peace, and there will be peace!"

Kakashi Hatake looked at the nearly insane Pain, then at the sorrowful Jiraiya.

"It seems there's no point in continuing..."

Jiraiya nodded: "Ah, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. All that's left is to fight."

Just at this moment.

The animal spirit riding the Yatagarasu suddenly descended from the sky.

He stood on the side of Pain's Deva Path.

He then immediately activated his ninjutsu.

"Psychic art!"

Instantly, all the Pain members who were wreaking havoc throughout Konoha Village, including Konan, were summoned to this location.

The Heavenly Path, the Animal Path, the Hell Path, the Human Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Asura Path!

Including Konan, there were a total of seven figures, coldly staring at Jiraiya, standing opposite him from afar.

Jiraiya glanced at it: "So it really is Konan?"

"So many years have passed, and you've grown into a wonderful woman..."

"But does making wings out of origami really make you think you're an angel?"

Xiao Nan's cold voice was equally devoid of emotion.

"Jiraiya-sensei, please don't stop us."

"I don't want to kill you."

Jiraiya laughed loudly: "You think you can kill me?!"

"It seems I, as a teacher, have produced a group of disciples who betray their master and defy morality..."

"Let's thoroughly clean house today!"

Kakashi Hatake, however, looked extremely grim.

Although he and Jiraiya are both top-tier fighters in Konoha, they are still together.

However, facing the Six Paths of Pain plus Konan, a total of seven enemies, each with unique abilities, there was simply no chance of victory!

But at this point, there was no way to expect other support to arrive quickly.

Pain's Six Paths can summon spirits and instantly teleport to this battlefield.

But the ninjas of Konoha Village could not do that.

Moreover, there were still many summoning beasts wreaking havoc, and the ninjas had to fight against them.

There was no sign of reinforcements within Kakashi's perception range.

It will take at least a few minutes to hold out until they arrive.

However, a few minutes felt like an eternity on this ever-changing battlefield...

I'm afraid that before they arrive, Jiraiya and I will have already fallen!

Even so, Kakashi had no way out.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death!

Jiraiya, a veteran of countless battles, did not hesitate for a moment.

"Kakashi, let's go!"

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"

The two immediately unleashed their chakra and power simultaneously, launching a fierce attack on Pain and Konan.

"Secret Technique! Toad Oil Bomb!"

Jiraiya spotted the weakness in Konan's origami technique and immediately launched a toad oil bomb, attempting to defeat Konan with the sticky toad oil!

however--

The Hungry Ghost Realm had already activated its power instantly, suddenly blocking Xiao Nan's path. With a flick of its hands, it completely devoured all the toad oil!

"Um?!"

"Did it absorb my ninjutsu and chakra?"

"As expected of the Rinnegan, it's quite troublesome..."

At the same time, Kakashi Hatake suddenly unleashed his ranged attack ninjutsu.

"Thunder Release! Thunder Beast Chasing Fang Technique!"

A massive bolt of lightning transformed into a howling thunder wolf, which suddenly charged toward the Six Paths of Pain!

However, before the violent lightning could reach Pain, it suddenly seemed to have struck an invisible wall, scattering violently and disappearing completely!

"Huh? What kind of ability is that?!"

Kakashi was horrified.

In that instant, the Six Paths of Pain launched their counterattack.

"Weird Arm Rocket!"

Shura Path suddenly pulled his wrist, and a series of chakra missiles burst out instantly, chasing after Jiraiya and Kakashi at the same time!

Kakashi Hatake slammed his hand on the ground.

"Earth escape! Earth flow wall!"

A massive earthen wall, carved with a dog's head, burst forth from the ground, rising up to protect Jiraiya and himself behind it.

However, in just a moment, it was blasted apart by the chakra missile, causing the earth to shake and sand and stones to fly everywhere!

Jiraiya and Kakashi Hatake could only retreat temporarily.

But at that moment, a roar suddenly came from behind, and several hellhounds suddenly attacked, tearing at Jiraiya and Kakashi!

Kakashi instantly produced a kunai in his hand, which was even imbued with lightning chakra, and crackled with lightning as he slashed twice!

scoff!

With a loud bang, one of the charging hellhounds was cleaved in two!

"Well done, Kakashi!"

Jiraiya had just uttered a word of praise when he saw the hellhound suddenly split into two, attacking from both sides once again!

"Um?!"

The two were startled at the same time, but before they could react, the Yatagarasu above their heads had already thrown down chakra cannonballs one after another. Instantly, flames shot into the sky, and explosions continued, annihilating the two figures in the process!

"Toad Mouth Binding Technique!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Jiraiya remained calm and composed, unleashing a secret technique from Mount Myōboku to summon the stomach wall of the giant toad, which swallowed the amplified hellhounds whole!

At the same time, Kakashi Hatake suddenly launched a surprise attack on Pain from underground!

It turns out that when the explosion happened, he used Earth Release ninjutsu to escape underground, intending to take advantage of Pain's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack from behind!

This is Kakashi's Earth Release ninjutsu, Fang Piercing Rift!

Moreover, it was combined with its trump card...

"Rachel!"

This attack came out of nowhere from underground and was launched from behind Payne. It was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard!

however--

Pain's Preta Path suddenly turned around again, completely stopping the Lightning Blade's attack and even absorbing all the ninjutsu and chakra!

"how come……"

At the same time, the Asura Path suddenly erupted from one side!

"Jagged attack!"

Sharp serrations grew from his arm, and he slashed fiercely at Kakashi!

Kakashi tried to dodge, but was entangled by the Preta Path, and in an instant—

Chi Chi Chi!
