"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The moment Jiraiya finished speaking, the Six Paths of Pain swiftly moved to surround him and Hawking.
The Human Path, Animal Path Pain, and Preta Path sealed off three directions, while the Deva Path flew into the air to block off the sky.
The remaining Naraka Path immediately formed hand seals and summoned this world's incarnation of King Yama. It swallowed the Asura Path that Hawking had damaged, chewed it for a moment, and then the Asura Path reappeared completely restored.
"Teacher Jiraiya, I'm afraid I can't let you escape."
The Deva Path looked down at Jiraiya and Hawking, speaking with an indifferent expression.
Seeing the damaged Asura Path repaired so easily, and seeing that Deva Path Pain could fly through the air, Jiraiya's expression changed.
He struggled to his feet and stood back-to-back with Hawking, speaking in a very low voice.
"Hawking, don't rush to attack yet. Stall for time while I tell you all the intelligence.
"If we can't break out later, then when you can come back tomorrow, tell Tsunade all this intelligence.
"Tsunade will give you the Flying Thunder God Technique as promised!"
His body was already holding on through severe injuries. No matter how strong Hawking was, the odds of escaping from the cautious Six Paths of Pain while carrying him were not high.
But he knew that in less than forty minutes, Hawking's time in this world would end.
Nagato did not know this secret, so Jiraiya could tell Hawking everything he had learned. After Hawking left and was summoned by Naruto tomorrow, he could pass that intelligence on to Tsunade.
With his intelligence, Tsunade could convene the Five Kage Summit and destroy Nagato's scheme together.
As for himself, he had long been prepared to die.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
