Jiraiya: There Is Only One Truth

"Well!"

The Great Toad Sage sighed softly, his gaze slightly complicated. Most memories from a thousand years ago have faded, but some things cannot be erased by time.

"The story begins about two years ago..."

As the Great Toad Sage slowly recounted his story, Jiraiya and Fukasaku's expressions changed repeatedly, their eyes filled with a hint of shock.

With the Genjutsu left behind by Indra now appearing in the world, Jiraiya having been investigating the history of a thousand years ago for many years, there are some things the Great Toad Sage naturally no longer needs to hide.

However, the history told by the Great Toad Sage is slightly different from the history in Indra's Genjutsu.

According to the Great Toad Sage, the Sage of Six Paths is naturally on the side of justice, while Kaguya Otsutsuki, who created White Zetsu from human bodies, is on the side of evil.

And that is indeed the case.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's creation of the White Zetsu army is something that cannot be whitewashed no matter what.

Jiraiya listened to the Great Toad Sage's explanation, he continuously analyzed the situation in his mind:

"Create White Zetsu?"

"Isn't White Zetsu a member of Akatsuki? How is he connected to Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

"Based on the information revealed by the Great Toad Sage and what was seen in the Genjutsu, did Kaguya Otsutsuki create White Zetsu to fight against the Otsutsuki clan?"

"What changes have occurred to this clan?"

Countless questions flooded Jiraiya's mind. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that the Great Toad Sage, who had said a few words, had fallen asleep again. Jiraiya tried to wake him up several times but to no avail.

Fukasaku looked up at Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, I'll arrange for you to return to Konoha right away!"

"Okay," Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

Konoha, this seemingly peaceful village, is protected by tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas, and the fighting and wars outside seem to have nothing to do with this village.

Having been summoned to Konoha by Toad, Jiraiya rushed to Tsunade's office without stopping...

'Bang!'

Jiraiya burst through the door. "Tsunade! I have important information to report to you immediately..."

"Well..."

Jiraiya stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, his face first showing surprise, then a hint of excitement on his face. His nose started bleeding profusely, and he clapped his hands in a thumbs-up, shouting, "This is huge..."

"Jiraiya!!!"

Tsunade was also taken aback when she saw Jiraiya, then her face turned red and she said angrily, "Didn't anyone tell you that you should knock before entering a room?"

Let's go back to a minute ago...

While handling official business, Tsunade, who was not paying attention, was lost in thought. Sometimes she was worried about the situation in the village, sometimes she was annoyed by the chaos in the Shinobi World, sometimes she thought about her childhood, and sometimes she was saddened by the deaths of her younger brother and lover.

Before she knew it, Jiraiya's lewd face appeared in Tsunade's memory.

In her Tsunade knocked over a teacup on the desk, soaking her clothes in the tea.

While he was changing his clothes, Jiraiya rushed in and saw something big and white.

"Tsunade, I didn't see anything!"

"No, Tsunade, don't worry, I, Jiraiya, Jiraiya a real man, I will definitely take responsibility for you!"

In his panic, Jiraiya blurted out something inappropriate, which made Tsunade want to kill him. She clenched her fists, ready to kill him to silence him. Jiraiya had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, "Tsunade, I really have important information to report to you!"

"Um?"

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya. If this information about Jiraiya wasn't important, Tsunade would swear that from this day forward, the 'Legendary Sannin' would become 'Ninin'.

Jiraiya's expression was serious. "I just returned from Mount Myōboku and encountered an enemy from beyond this world!"

"What?"

Tsunade's expression changed drastically, and she said in a deep voice, "They've already arrived!"

"Mount Myōboku... their target should be the Nine-Tails inside Naruto..."

Thinking of this, Tsunade glared at Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, how could you leave Naruto alone on Mount Myōboku and come back by yourself?"

"Well..."

Jiraiya was taken aback. He had only thought that Mount Myōboku was safe, and in his haste to report to Tsunade, he hadn't thought much about it.

However, this 'Otsutsuki' is not a person, but a clan, and who knows how many people they sent to the Ninja World.

"It was my oversight!" Jiraiya said.

Tsunade: "Tell me the specifics first!"

"Good!"

Jiraiya considered for a moment before speaking, "The situation is pretty much as we guessed before. This clan is not from the Ninja World, but comes from another world."

"According to that person, their purpose in coming to the Ninja World was to plant the God Tree and obtain powerful strength through it!"

"According to the Great Toad Sage, Kaguya Otsutsuki created something called 'White Zetsu.' And based on what I saw in the Indra's Illusion Realm, this White Zetsu should be a weapon to resist the Otsutsuki clan!"

"..."

Jiraiya explained all the information he knew and his analysis to Tsunade.

"Tsunade, the Otsutsuki clan possesses the Byakugan, and the Byakugan can evolve into the Rinnegan..."

Jiraiya's expression turned serious. "Hinata... could she have already awakened her Sharingan?"

Tsunade frowned slightly. "It's not impossible!"

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade guessed, "The Hyuga Clan has always kept a low profile and is limited to Taijutsu. Although the clan is quite strong, it is difficult for them to produce any powerful members."

"The fact that the Hyuga Clan dares to take action proves that they have the confidence to do so."

"Hinata's power has reached this level, it seems she has already awakened the Rinnegan!"

After a pause, Tsunade and said, "Let's put that aside for now. What about the strength of that Otsutsuki clan?"

Jiraiya explained, "The ability is troublesome, but... the opponent doesn't seem to have much combat experience. If this clan gains power by consuming the God Tree Fruit, then it means their power increased from weak to strong in an instant..."

"I fought them, but..."

Tsunade asked in a low voice, "But what?"

"Growth potential!"

Jiraiya said seriously, "This clan already possesses immense power. If they were to master Ninjutsu..."

Tsunade frowned. Jiraiya said was exactly what she was worried about: the Otsutsuki clan had a strong foundation and could easily learn all Ninjutsu.

Once combat styles become diverse, the strength will undergo a dramatic change.

"What about Xiao?"

Tsunade tentatively asked, "Is the Akatsuki's purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts to rule the world, or to fight against these people?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "According to the Great Toad Sage, White Zetsu is not from this era!"

"As for Nagato... he may have already been used by someone!"

Jiraiya's eyes turned serious as he recalled his conversation with Yahiko during the Three-Tails Incident.

Perhaps the Akatsuki is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
