Jiraiya grabbed the mischievous Naruto and slapped his face in annoyance. It was really a big trouble to let this guy be his apprentice...

But, thinking of his previous disciples, whether it was Nagato or Minato, some of them were missing, some had died in battle, and this brat was troublesome and had no talent, and he was totally no match for his previous disciples.

A smile appeared on Jiraiya's lips, but he still believed very much that the child in front of him was the chosen one that the Toad Sage mentioned. As long as he looked at Naruto's inexplicable drive and never-give-up spirit, he was so convinced that he would be the chosen one.

Jiraiya was lost in thought unconsciously, and Naruto beside him kept waving at Jiraiya's eyes.

"Hey, hey...lecherous immortal..."

Jiraiya came back to his senses after hearing Naruto's shout, and he unconsciously touched the back of his head with one hand.

"Of course, your master is very powerful."

Under Naruto's admiring gaze, Jiraiya continued:

"It's just that Naruto, this video must be from the future, because in my memory, I have never experienced these."

Since the video would be played, there was no point in continuing to hide it, so Jiraiya decided to confess everything to Naruto.

Naruto's mouth opened even wider when he heard Jiraiya's words. It seemed that he didn't know that the video could come from the future.

After the two knew that the video came from the future, they decided to watch it carefully. Since they went to the Hidden Rain Village to look for clues, they could get information by watching the video now without any threat to their lives. Isn't that great?

But in Jiraiya's heart, he always felt something was wrong.

Inside the antique coffee shop.

The three of them looked at the man in front of them and felt strange.

"It seems that there is war in this world."

The store manager Fangcun spoke first. Through observing the video and their conversation, he knew that since there were camps, it meant that this was a cruel and war-filled world.

Moreover, Manager Yoshimura guessed in his heart that this kind of war was definitely not like the secret fight between ghouls and humans in their world, nor was it like the battle between humans and monsters in the previous video.

This kind of battle is the most realistic battle between human nature and human nature.

"It looks like this is an intelligence war. How far can an intelligence war go?"

Nishio raised his glasses, his eyes full of disdain.

This battle is definitely ranked high, and it is definitely not exciting.

"You're wrong, Nishio."

Manager Fangcun patted the two people standing in front of him with a kind face.

"The level of intelligence is even more important than the war itself. With intelligence, you can uncover the enemy's true colors. On the other hand, the party without intelligence can only rely on human wave tactics and chance."

The Fangcun store manager paused deliberately and looked up at the man in the video in front of him.

"This man is definitely not weak."

...............................

The sound of the pedal was particularly crisp, and the man approached the water pipe step by step.

Since the enemy is on the highest tower, if you want to go up, you can only climb up slowly through this sewer.

Just as Jiraiya was about to move forward, countless pieces of paper floated out of the pipe, and the pieces of paper turned into a pair of huge wings, forming a beautiful woman in the air.

"It seems that you have grown into a very nice woman, Xiaonan."

Jiraiya held the lower sword in one hand and looked at Konan in front of him:

"I thought you were dead, but it turns out you turned into a piece of light paper. So, you must be the angel they are talking about. Then who is Payne?"

Facing Jiraiya's endless chatter, Konan never opened her eyes.

"Sensei Jiraiya...Pein's order is to kill you."

The moment Konan opened her eyes, Jiraiya put away his nonchalant smile.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had taken a step back.

In an instant, countless pieces of paper flew from Konan's body to Jiraiya, but Jiraiya did not underestimate the enemy.

"Fire Style: Flame Bullet."

The huge fireball collided with the paper and caused an explosion, splashing all the water in the sewer.

The water poured down on the two of them like rain.

The two men stood there staring at each other, the battle... was about to begin, and the people outside the video were also looking forward to this battle.

What kind of matchup is this? Who is the winner? At this moment, everyone's attention is fixed on the video.

Chapter 6: Pain's Appearance

"Xiao Nan!"

Jiraiya looked at the superior woman in front of him without a trace of emotion, just like a killer.

Konan glanced at Jiraiya coldly, and then pieces of paper flew towards Jiraiya like feathers.

Jiraiya formed seals with his hands again and flames spurted out.

..................

Although the fire burned the paper, Konan's paper pieces kept extinguishing Jiraiya. Jiraiya rolled sideways, and although he barely avoided it, a big hole was still smashed into the ground. Jiraiya couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Xiao Nan, you don't care about the relationship between master and disciple and you hit me so hard, so don't blame me."

Jiraiya jumped towards Konan like a toad, with a smile on his face:

"Toad oil bomb."

Toad oil spurted out of Jiraiya's mouth, splashing all over Konan's body. The sticky oil spread all over Konan's body, and as the oil that was most effective against paper, it was enough to make it difficult for her to move.

"In that case, Konan, you won't be able to disperse once you've got the oil on you."

Jiraiya clasped his hands together, and his hair grew longer and wrapped around Konan.

The scene reached a stalemate again.

....................

"Xiao Nan, you are the most gentle among those children."

Jiraiya paused, looking at the condescending Konan's cold expression, he was speechless for a moment.

"What about the other two? Since you're still alive, then the rumors about their deaths must be false."

Konan still said nothing, just staring at Jiraiya in front of her quietly.

"So the so-called Pein is one of them, right? Which one is it, Konan?"

Jiraiya looked at Konan again, and Konan suddenly burst into laughter:

"Now that things have come to this, why do you appear in front of us?"

"Are you members of Akatsuki?"

Looking at the smooth-talking, grinning Jiraiya in front of him, he suddenly became angry.

The man in front of them was only good at talking. When they were in the most difficult and desperate times, their master was not by their side. That's why Yahiko died and Nagato became what he is now.

Jiraiya...he hadn't done his part.

Those words we said about creating a peaceful world together were just lies to children...

And now, when they want to build a new peaceful world, it is standing in their way.

Xiaonan's face became increasingly cold, no emotion visible on it anymore.

"At that time... it would have been better if Orochimaru had killed us as he said. You must be thinking the same thing now."

Jiraiya was drawn back into the memories of the past by Konan's words...

It was a gray, overcast day, with heavy rain washing away the bloodstains left by the war....

Jiraiya brought the three war orphans back to his homemade hut and spent a happy childhood with them. Perhaps that was their happiest time.

"It's too late, Jiraiya-sensei."

What Konan didn't know was that this was also Jiraiya's happiest time.

Konan launched another attack, and the sharp pieces of paper pulled Jiraiya out of his memories.

Jiraiya quickly retreated, leaving Konan's attack range.

Jiraiya snorted coldly:

"Even so, as your master, I taught you how to survive in troubled times. I feel very chilled that you attacked me without even saying hello."

Jiraiya left Konan in silence.

"Jiraiya-sensei...Akatsuki, that is our answer."

At this time, a person with a yellow braid walked out slowly, his face was full of countless black sticks, and he had a pair of eyes that Jiraiya was most familiar with.

"Although the appearance has changed a lot, but..."

"You're taking a wrong turn, Nagato!"

The equally cold Nagato in front of Jiraiya felt very unfamiliar, but the pattern, the thing he could not forget, was the pair of Rinnegan.

Since it is illegal to communicate through language, let's use force.

Pain put his hands together and used summoning jutsu first, and almost instantly, the crab broke through the wall and spit out thick foam at Jiraiya, catching Jiraiya off guard.

The foam washed the toad oil off Konan's body like a stream of water, and the foam quickly covered the entire ground, forcing Jiraiya into a desperate situation.

But Jiraiya was no pushover after all. After he reacted, he did two backward rolls and firmly fixed himself on the wall.

"As expected of my student, you know how to attack my weaknesses."

Jiraiya's expression kept changing, from dismay at his student to relief, to determination to become his enemy.

Jiraiya secretly praised Nagato for having mastered many fighting skills, but no master would want his disciples to attack him. This feeling was like a dog that he had raised with great effort, but it turned around and bit him when it grew up. It was really painful.

The people outside the video couldn't help but feel terrified. If their own disciples treated them like this, what a huge shadow it would cast. Moreover, from what we heard in the video, these three disciples rebelled together. No matter what the reason was, they teamed up to deal with the master who once took care of them. No matter what was said, it was hard to accept.

At this time, Saitama looked at Genos beside him and watched quietly...

But from Genos's point of view, it looked like he was staring at...

"What's wrong, teacher? Did I do something wrong?"

Looking at Genos' innocent expression, Saitama fell into deep thought.

I wonder if this B-boy will kill me later...

Before Saitama could think about it, Genos discovered that something was wrong with Saitama and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"I'll be your teacher for life. If I betray you, I'll die a miserable death and be struck by lightning."

Although Genos is very rigid, once he realizes something is wrong he will immediately admit his mistakes... and he is very sincere! This really puts Saitama in a difficult position.

Saitama had no other choice. He had never experienced such a thing before, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Regarding Genos, Saitama never agreed to be his teacher, but they fought side by side many times, so it was impossible to say that there was no feeling between them.

In ancient times, there was an old saying that goes, if you keep a stone by your side for a few months, even the stone will have feelings for it, let alone a partner who fights side by side with you. This also made Saitama feel for the first time his feelings for Genos.

In the past, I never considered Genos as an apprentice, but now, although I still don’t, I seem to understand something when watching the video in front of me.

"Bond...?"

Perhaps, it is because of the Genos in front of him that Saitama can understand the feelings of the person in the video who looks like a white hedgehog.

At this moment, Saitama took a deep look at Genos who was watching the video on the side.

Perhaps at this moment, Saitama recognized his disciple.

Chapter 7 Becoming a Man of God

At this moment in the train, Tanjiro and Zenitsu fell into silence.

Seeing the battle between master and disciple in the video, they couldn't help but think of their own masters.

When love runs deep, it becomes deeper. If your master saw you become like this one day, how heartbroken would he be?

Zenitsu's master, Jigoro Kuwashima.
