"You've worked hard!" Jiraiya said to Gamaken was standing to the side.

"I didn't expect that even if the caster wanted to attack him, he couldn't because he was invisible. Gamaken, don't you think something's strange about that?"

"I... I'm utterly useless, so I don't understand." Gamaken remained as humble as ever.

Jiraiya didn't understand why his disciple had changed so drastically in appearance, but Jiraiya was convinced that the Rinnegan belonged to Nagato.

At this moment, Nagato summoned the newly appeared yak spirit beast.

"That's enough, Gamaken. Leave the rest to me, you can go back now," Jiraiya said to Gamaken.

Gamaken, seeing the increasingly bright white light emanating from Jiraiya, knew his mission was complete. "I understand. Sorry."

At this moment, the yak charged straight at Jiraiya, but Jiraiya had already completed Sage Mode and was not afraid of the summoning beast in front of him.

With a loud "bang," the yak spirit beast was sent flying.

[Minato Namikaze: Is this the teacher's Sage Mode?!]

[Yahiko: Kokuichi, teacher is so handsome! Keep it up, teacher!]

[Nagato: Yahiko, it looks like the teacher hit me.]

"Um, Nagato, don't mind me, I was just saying it casually," Yahiko said to Nagato with an embarrassed look.

Two aged voices echoed through the tunnel created by the yak's head, accompanied by footsteps. "Boy, why do you always summon us in such noisy places? Of course, Gamabunta will be angry."

"Don't say that, Mom. Jiraiya had his reasons, right?"

"The child's father shouldn't be so protective of him, really."

"It's been so long, I'm so sorry to have troubled you all like this, boss, big sister."

Jiraiya emerged from the smoke of the explosion, with Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima appearing on Jiraiya shoulders.

"But kid, didn't you say that this wouldn't attract girls, which is why you didn't want to change your body to this state?"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, after all, our opponent has the Rinnegan."

Sage Shima: "The Six Paths Eyes?"

The Sage Fukasaku exclaimed in surprise, "That thing really exists!"

The two sages Jiraiya and Fukasaku Shima, appeared before everyone.

Of course, unlike Naruto's Sage Mode, Jiraiya's red Sage Mode mask covers a wider area, encompassing from his nose to his temples and most of his cheeks. His eyes are no longer orange but remain black, and his face shows some Toad -like features.

Naruto's Sage Mode is definitely cooler than Jiraiya's; Jiraiya's Sage Mode just looks more imposing.

However, Jiraiya didn't use Sage Mode often, largely because he looked rather unattractive in it. After all, he was going to pursue Tsunade, and if he ruined his image in her Tsunade, it wouldn't be good. Jiraiya was indeed quite handsome in his youth.

[At this moment, Nagato was hiding, secretly observed Jiraiya's figure. In his opinion, Jiraiya would not suddenly summon two Toads.]

"After going through so much trouble just to summon those two Toads, even the teacher himself has changed. Hmph, whether it's Orochimaru or Jiraiya, the Sannin are all very skilled at using special powers." Nagato observed Jiraiya's current appearance.

He is very different now than he was before.

At this time, Sage Fukasaku was also constantly observing his surroundings, but because Nagato was invisible Sage Fukasaku had not found any enemies.

"Then, where is that Six Paths Eyes?" Sage Fukasaku asked curiously.

"Are your eyesight failing you with age?" Sage Shima was clearly speaking to Jiraiya, believing that Jiraiya had mistaken the Rinnegan else.

"No, he hid his presence inside the transparent summoned creature." That was the only explanation Jiraiya could offer at this point.

At this moment, Sage Fukasaku also sensed the presence of other people besides Jiraiya.

"It's an ability similar to a chameleon," Sage Fukasaku suddenly realized.

Although Jiraiya cast the Heavenly Canopy Barrier, it still took him some time to sense Nagato's location.

But Sage Shima was clearly getting impatient. "How long are we going to wait at this rate? Let's use bio-detection to force it to reveal its true form in one go."

"Mom, don't worry. This will cause wrinkles."

"Shut up, you husband!"

Jiraiya recalled the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, "In my dream, I only knew that you, who were only interested in women, became a great Shinobi, and you will have a disciple who can stand on his own. That disciple will become Shinobi who brings great changes to the Shinobi World in the future."

"Change?"

"The change will bring either unprecedented peace or annihilation to the world; it is one of these two possibilities."

Sage Shima: "The Child of Prophecy?! Then why are you fighting?"

At this point, Sage Shima was confused by their relationship. Since they were Jiraiya's disciples, why were they fighting here?

"It seems he's not developing in the right direction, and I've always believed he wasn't the Child of Prophecy since I heard he was dead."

"In any case, if he hasn't turned to the right path, the only option is to kill him," said the Sage Fukasaku.

Compared to Sage Shima and Jiraiya, Sage Fukasaku was more decisive. Since he was the Child of Prophecy would bring destruction to this world, there was no need to show mercy.

Sage Fukasaku never considered the possibility that the group might be no match for Nagato, after all, neither of the two sages had ever encountered an enemy of Nagato's caliber.

As someone who could easily overpower Hanzō, Sage Fukasaku clearly underestimated Nagato's strength.

[Yahiko: By the way, Nagato, could you beat Jiraiya in this state?]

Looking at Jiraiya in Sage Mode on the screen, Nagato shook his head. How could that be? The Nagato in the screen might be able to, but he himself was no match for Jiraiya- sensei in the present.

At this moment, Obito was Lord Jiraiya calculating the probability of him succeeding in fighting Jiraiya. He had the Kamui Mangekyō, which could dodge most of Jiraiya's Ninjutsu, and the Uchiha Gunbai could also reflect the Five Nature Transformations. Under normal circumstances, he was not afraid of Lord Jiraiya.

However, even in Sage Mode, Obito couldn't guarantee that the Uchiha Gunbai could deflect Senjutsu; it was highly likely it couldn't.

Although Obito's explanation was simple, Jiraiya other areas than Obito. Sometimes it's not just about who knows more Ninjutsu; other factors also need to be considered.

Of course, if it's Six Paths Obito, that's a different story. After all, in that state, bringing a Kage Level ninja would be like sending them to their doom. Only the Six Paths can subdue the Six Paths. For the Six Paths level, there's no difference between Kage Level and Jonin.
