Shinki was stunned when he saw Nagato's face clearly.

This guy not only had sunken eyes and a sallow complexion, but he also looked like a dried-up corpse that had been sucked dry by a vampire...

More importantly, this guy's eye sockets are empty!

Those Sage eyes, representing supreme power, were somehow gouged out by someone else.

"No wonder."

Shinki seemed to understand something, and murmured to himself.

I am not as good as you.

Nagato.

"But it's just about strength."

My thinking is far superior to yours.

Upon hearing Nagato's stubborn statement, Shinki's expression turned strange.

How advanced are your thoughts?

"You even killed your own master, you have no morals, you have no conscience whatsoever."

Shinki had no intention of saying anything more to this guy. He raised his hand and thrust his sword forward!

"Pfft!!"

Nagato died.

Meanwhile, in a secret room.

The Masked Man looked at the pair of Rinnegan in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"That boy is ridiculously strong; he can actually utilize Shisui's eyes to such a terrifying degree."

"Moreover, his Chakra seems inexhaustible; Susanoo Complete Form for so long and unleash terrifyingly powerful Ninjutsu without any burden."

"If this guy doesn't die, the Eye of the Moon Plan will be very difficult to implement..."

"The problem is, how do we kill him...?"

"Not only is the Three-Tails Fox sealed within him, but also an unknown Moryo..."

"This is really a headache!!"

On the other side, in Amegakure.

After killing Nagato, Shinki immediately exhausted his spiritual power to search for Jiraiya.

Finally, in a Laboratory, Master Jiraiya's frozen body was discovered.

"Is Nagato planning to use Master Jiraiya as Chakra vessel as well?"

Shinki said through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, thanks to Nagato's actions, Master Jiraiya's body was preserved intact.

Although the cells in the body have lost their activity, this is not a major problem for Shinki, who focuses on cell engineering research.

Afterwards, Shinki began preparing the Reincarnation Ritual to revive Jiraiya.

After adding several layers of protective Sealing Jutsu, Shinki summoned Naruto and his group to protect him.

After that, he sat on the ground and began to form hand seals.

After completing more than two hundred hand seals, Shinki called out softly.

"Sage Art: Hellish Snatching Technique!"

The phantom of Death God reappeared, this time staring intently at the Shinki located within the Sealing Formation.

The expression in his eyes was complex, containing anger, resentment, and a hint of helplessness.

The saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

Goodbye, Death God. Shinki was no longer as nervous as before.

After noticing that the other person was looking at him, he greeted them warmly.

Hi~

(O´Д`o)ノ

Death God: (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)

If it weren't for the incredibly thick seal added by the Shinki, Death God would have wanted to take this kid down with him!

Soon, Jiraiya, who was lying on the operating table, began to breathe evenly.

Then, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at Shinki and Naruto beside him.

A deep look of confusion crossed his eyes. "Hey, Shinki, and Naruto, what are you two doing down here? (¬‸¬)?"

Shinki smiled and replied, "It wasn't us who went down, it was you who came up. ( ˙º˙)╯︎"

Jiraiya:(๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!!

"I've been resurrected?!"

"Yes." Shinki nodded.

"I'm already in the ground, why risk reviving me?" Jiraiya lectured.

"Birth, aging, illness, and death are a natural cycle; when you die, you die, so don't disrupt the laws of nature."

Shinki scoffed, "If you don't want to live, I can still send you down there. (* ̄3 ̄)"

Jiraiya: "..."

You're such a filial son!

"Oh well, being alive isn't so bad. ( *ˊᵕˋ)"

He then asked, "Where's Nagato?"

"Dead." Shinki replied expressionlessly.

"Did you do this?" Jiraiya asked.

Shinki nodded. "I did it."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. "How did they do that? That kid has two Rinnegan, he's ridiculously strong."

Shinki shrugged. "It didn't take too much trouble, first this... then that... and he died. ┐(´-`)┌"

Jiraiya: "..."

Knowing that he couldn't figure out the Shinki's method, Jiraiya didn't ask any further questions.

Shinki said, "Alright, hurry back now, Master Tsunade is waiting for you."

Konoha.

Ninja Academy.

Because the Shinki summoned Susanoo in the Hokage's Office, it broke through the ceiling of the Hokage's Office, and it is currently under repair.

Therefore, as Hokage Tsunade, Tsunade had no choice but to move her office to the Ninja Academy.

After finishing her official duties, she walked onto the Ninja Academy's playground, looking blankly at the children playing in twos and threes.

Konohamaru appeared behind Tsunade without her noticing and called out, "Fifth Hokage- sama!"

"Konohamaru? No missions today?" Tsunade asked.

"No, I'm off today."

Konohamaru said this as he walked to Tsunade's side.

"Lady Tsunade, are you saddened by what happened to Lord Jiraiya?" Konohamaru asked.

Tsunade: "Children shouldn't pretend to know what they don't."

Konohamaru: "..."

"Who says I don't understand?"

"I was much more heartbroken than you were when Grandpa passed away recently."

"But no matter what, I'm already a seasoned Ninja in the village."

"Although I still think about him often, I believe he is watching over me from heaven."

"I will carry on my grandfather's legacy and grow into an outstanding Ninja!"

Tsunade smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

Is this kid trying to comfort himself?

"Don't worry, I'm the Hokage. My heart is much stronger than a little brat like you."

She said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya will definitely be watching over you from heaven," Konohamaru said.

However, the next moment...

Not far away, Jiraiya's cheerful voice rang out. "Hey kid, you're the Third Hokage's grandson, right? Why are you spreading rumors that I'm dead?! (* ̄3 ̄)"

Konohamaru turns his head: (⊙o⊙)

"Huh? Lord Jiraiya isn't dead after all!"

Then, he noticed Naruto and Shinki standing next to Jiraiya and went over to them!

"Shinki! Long time no see!"

Jiraiya walked up to Tsunade's side.

Their eyes met, and tears welled up in Tsunade's eyes!

Tsunade: "You... if you're not dead, why did it take you so long to come back...?"

You have no idea how worried I was about you.

"I have lost too many important people in my life."

"When news of your death reached the village, I kept regretting letting you leave..."

"Alright, alright, I'm back now..."

Jiraiya casually put his arm around Tsunade, not forgetting to give a thumbs-up towards the location of the Shinki (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)b.

Good apprentice, you've been a great help!

Naruto and Shinki exchanged a glance and smiled.

Indeed, nothing is more beautiful than the glow of the setting sun!

Konohamaru then sidled up to Shinki, pouting, and said, "Lady Tsunade just said he's much stronger than me."

"Now she's crying too. (๑‾ ꇴ ‾๑)"
