The Light of Hope Hinata Struck Out

Yahiko!

Even after many years, Jiraiya still clearly remembered that name... that orphan from the Land of Rain, a boy who harbored a dream of achieving peace.

What exactly happened to the three of them?

The name Akatsuki was not appearing in the Shinobi World for the first time. Jiraiya heard rumors about the organization as early as the Third Shinobi World War and had also taken note of the three disciples he had carefully taught for three years.

At that time, Xiao had accomplished many great things and was determined to create a peaceful world without relying on extreme force.

However, before the Third Shinobi War ended, the Akatsuki completely disappeared, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan also lost all contact with each other.

When Jiraiya took notice of the Akatsuki again, it was already the time when Orochimaru had joined the organization.

For many years, Jiraiya had been secretly investigating the Akatsuki's movements. It wasn't until last year, when news of the Rinnegan spread throughout the Shinobi World, that Jiraiya truly confirmed that the leader of the Akatsuki was the red-haired boy who possessed the Rinnegan back then.

Only...

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the Akatsuki's style has completely changed.

Jiraiya was heartbroken and glared Deva Path Pain, demanding, "Why! Why have you all become like this? Yahiko! What happened to you?"

"You ask me why?"

Deva Path Pain raised his head slightly, his pale purple Rinnegan devoid of any emotion. "You no longer need to know! In the end, you are just a mortal after all."

"A mortal?" Jiraiya frowned slightly.

Deva Path Pain gazed at Jiraiya and said calmly, "Too many people died in the Land of Rain. Their suffering made me grow. Only by knowing suffering can ignorant and foolish children grow into adults."

"I have grown beyond mortals through endless suffering... transforming from a mortal into a god."

A flash of anger crossed Jiraiya's face. His eyes were fixed on Deva Path Pain, and he asked in a deep voice, "So, as a 'god,' what do you intend to do?"

Pain didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. When he heard Jiraiya's slightly mocking question, Deva Path's tone remained as calm as ice. "I want to put an end to the war in this mortal world. This is God's mission!"

How can war be stopped quickly in a conflict between nations?

"Just use forbidden weapons in the war!"

"Whoever wields this weapon will surely use its power; thousands will die instantly, and anyone would feel fear!"

He paused, a hint of fanaticism flashing in Pain's calm Rinnegan: "In this way, people, nations, and even the whole world will know about suffering. That fear will create a restraining force, and there will be no more wars."

"It can be said that the world is growing towards stability and peace, and pain will help the world grow... just like I used to!"

"If we want this world to grow and our thoughts to progress, we need divine guidance. This world is still just a child. To make it grow, we must let it know what suffering is!"

Jiraiya was furious upon hearing this, but when Jiraiya gaze swept over Pain's fanatical expression, Jiraiya face instantly calmed down. However, beneath Jiraiya's calm expression lay an almost uncontrollable rage.

"You plunder the Tailed Beasts just to use their power to create weapons of war?" Jiraiya coldly questioned.

Deva Path Pain looked directly into Jiraiya's eyes and said coldly, "If you don't understand other people's pain, you can't truly understand them! And even if you can understand, people can't reconcile with each other."

It must be admitted that Pain's theory of nuclear peace, though somewhat extreme, is actually achievable.

Hinata couldn't remember who said it, but people often forgive others' mistakes, but find it hard to forgive others' correctness.

Forgiving others' mistakes makes you appear magnanimous and wise. On the other hand, forgiving others' correct actions proves that you have done something foolish.

Furthermore, Hinata has always felt that the reason why peace was achieved after the Fourth Shinobi World War in the Original Story Hokage manga was not only due to Asura's Chakra influence, but also largely due to Naruto and Sasuke's power and their ability to intimidate the villages.

Ultimately, while Naruto's method of achieving peace wasn't as extreme as Pain's, the means to achieve peace were essentially the same.

Both peace were achieved through force.

If Naruto didn't have power, no matter how nicely he spoke, probably no one would pay attention to him.

Jiraiya said with a grim expression, "It seems we can't reason with them!"

"As a mortal, you can never understand the ideas of God... You just need to obediently obey!"

Pain roared, "My peace is to let the world be reborn from destruction!"

'Bang!'

With a loud bang, the Gamaken in dire straits under the attack of two Animal Path- Summoning Beasts.

"Jiraiya!"

Gamabunta shouted, "Don't waste your breath on them, these beasts are not easy to deal with!"

Jiraiya turned to look at Hinata little face immediately turned serious, and then she nodded slightly to Jiraiya.

Although Hinata didn't know what the deeper meaning of Jiraiya's look was, she knew that as long as she nodded in response, she couldn't go wrong!

Furthermore, Hinata felt that if she wasn't mistaken, that look must mean 'attack'.

Hinata swung her Chakra hand Jiraiya threw Jiraiya away, while Hinata simultaneously unleashed a blue Spiral Chakra Beam that shot straight at Deva Path Pain.

Amidst the raging wind and torrential rain, a beam of golden sunlight, completely different from the surrounding gloomy sky, pierced through the dark clouds and shone down upon the earth.

During the flight, Jiraiya looked up and then shouted to Deva Path Pain, "Yahiko! Do you see that? That's the light of hope! Darkness will not forever shroud this land!"

Deva Path Pain raised his hands and unleashed the full power of Shinra Tensei. At that moment, even his expression twisted in pain. "No! This is the light of Akatsuki!"

Damn it!

Hinata almost fell off the sky after hearing what these two said!

Wasn't that huge hole in the dark clouds in the sky created by the 'Makankosappo' I fired into the sky when I attacked the Animal Path just now?

When did this hole become your beacon of hope?

Moreover, affected by the Three-Tails 'Chakra, that huge hole is slowly healing... Your light of hope is about to disappear, yet you are still fighting.

o(╯□╰)o

'Boom!'

The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei was like a landslide and a tsunami, and the earth rolled outwards like waves under the force of the repulsive force.

However, Hinata's "Makankosappo" is a rotating, extremely concentrated Senjutsu Chakra, whose mass and density are incomparable to this repulsive force.

Hinata used a single point to break through the surface, and the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei only held for a brief moment before being pierced by the Spiral Light Ray, which shot straight towards Deva Path Pain.

Jiraiya, who had just been thrown out by Hinata, was completely bewildered.

Although the repulsive force is invisible, its surging power can be felt even from a great distance.

What's more, this repulsive force is almost touching Jiraiya's face right now!

Am I destined to die here today?
