The Toad Oil immediately enveloped Konan, binding all the scattered paper together, rendering Konan unable to use Ninjutsu for a moment.

Jiraiya's appearance was perfectly timed, as Pain and Konan's attention was completely drawn to Naruto. Just when they were itching to chop him up and feed him to the dogs, Jiraiya descended from the sky.

In a split second, Gama Bunta drew his sword and smashed the Hell Path Pain to pieces. The surprise attack was a success, and together with Naruto, they killed the Human Path Pain who was collecting souls and the Naraka Path Pain who was reviving other Pain.

The moment the battle Tayuya, Tayuya turned and ran without hesitation. She knew that staying there would only be a burden, so she glanced at Naruto briefly before running away.

In an instant, Naruto shifted positions and unleashed his Lava Release technique. Kakkō rapidly boiled in the rain, molten lava burning and drying up the heavy rain falling beside him.

Using the invisible Flying Thunder God technique, his movements were as elusive as a ghost. He appeared beside Asura Path, but Asura Path dodged him with a strange posture.

At that moment, the missile inside Asura Path's body was released at point-blank range. The thick Kakkō of the explosion pierced through the rain, illuminating a corner of Amegakure.

The villagers of Amegakure looked towards that corner of the village, where a dazzling display of Kakkō shot into the sky.

With the remaining four Pain sharing a perspective, the loss of two Pain meant that Nagato could control them more easily. Naruto, unable to succeed again, could only retreat quickly.

Deva Path Pain had broken through Jiraiya's attack, and the Animal Path summoned three enormous Summoning Beast: Chameleon, Yata Mirror, and Dividing Dog.

The chameleon can Pain invisible after swallowing him, the Dividing Dog keep splitting and are impossible to kill, Yata Mirror throws down exploding eggs from a high place.

The Preta Path ninja grinned maliciously as he approached Naruto and Jiraiya, waiting to fight them. Jiraiya, did not use Ninjutsu, but instead fought alongside Naruto, dodging and weaving.

Taking down two Pain in a sneak attack was already a pleasant surprise; Naruto didn't want to risk his life. Pain weren't without weaknesses, but they were still exceptionally difficult to deal with.

The shared perspective of the four is somewhat troublesome no matter how you deal with it. What's more, Pain's Chakra is currently at its peak, so it's not worthwhile to try to overpower him.

Naruto turned around, his figure disappearing continuously as he maneuvered among the four Pain. Jiraiya dodged Jiraiya the Asura Path's attacks, but when the homing bullets became unavoidable, he used a Toad Oil Fire Release technique to forcefully block them.

After dragging things out for quite some time, having essentially exchanged blows with Pain and gaining some understanding of the situation, they exchanged a glance. A loud explosion rang out, sending white smoke billowing into the air.

Taking advantage of the gaps in the smoke and heavy rain, the two used their respective methods to escape.

Jiraiya used Ninjutsu to enter the Toad's body and went directly into a building. Strangely, the Toad was wearing a small raincoat, which it threw away the moment it jumped into the building.

Pain's Rain Tiger Justu infuses his Chakra into the rain, allowing him to detect anything that comes into contact with the rain. However, it's not without its limitations; with proper precautions, this deadly detection can be effectively blocked.

Naruto was even more decisive. Taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped into a building and threw his clothes out. Instantly, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, using the Flying Thunder God Mark he had previously left on the Hydrangea.

The next moment, Naruto, who was only wearing his underwear, suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, in the bathroom of the Hydrangea family.

With a splash, Naruto appeared out of thin air in the laundry basket next to the bathtub. And with lightning speed, just as Hydrangea in the bathtub was about to cry out, he reached out and covered her mouth.

"Shut up, or I'll throw you naked out into the street."

The Hydrangea struggled violently, whimpering, but was immediately terrified by this threat, which was even more vicious than the three hundred times it had been threatened. It thought about how it had been beaten that day and then inexplicably released.

It turned out to be nothing like surviving a disaster. After finally reporting the intruders, all I wanted to do when I got home was drag my tired and aching body into a hot bath.

Who knew he wouldn't let me go! He's a monster! Waaaaah!! I don't want to live anymore, it's too unfair, what kind of person is he torturing a low -Genin like me!

Tears of humiliation streamed down Hydrangea's face and spilled from between Naruto's fingers.

Atop the High Tower, Pain and Konan gazed upon the panoramic view of Amegakure.

The rain continued to fall heavily, and below stood a group of Genin and Chunin from Amegakure, their expressions serious as they stood in the rain.

"Jiraiya and that person have disappeared. They seem to have been prepared all along," Nagato said through Pain's mouth, his expression cold.

"I understand. As expected of Jiraiya- sensei, he probably learned about us from somewhere." Konan's tone was cool as she glanced at the rain.

"Yes, Jiraiya has become even stronger over the years," Pain said. "This time, we must keep them here and kill them."

Konan with Toad Oil Jiraiya appeared, and Gamabunta, the summoned Gama Bunta, killed Hell Path Pain with a swift and clean attack.

In contrast Six Paths of Pain and Konan seemed to have maintained control of the situation for a moment, but in reality, they were being led by the nose. The enemy clearly had a plan and carried out a targeted sneak attack.

Furthermore, the fact that they were able to calmly discard their rain-soaked clothes while fleeing makes it hard to believe that they weren't prepared.

A densely packed set of techniques rendered Pain, who claimed to be a god, and Konan, who claimed to be an angel, unable to lift their heads in an instant.

This immediately made Nagato and Konan abandon their initial contempt, realizing that experience truly does matter. After so many years, Jiraiya's strength remained unfathomable.

If they had continued fighting Pain, Nagato Konan Pain n't have panicked so much. But Jiraiya and the other person had such a clear objective: to fight and then run.

The two left no trace whatsoever, like fish entering the sea or birds entering the forest, leaving only a deathly silence, without the slightest echo.

This, in turn, forced Pain and Konan to reconsider Naruto's words. It seemed that their strength was not truly invincible, and they might not even be able to surpass their former teacher.

After secretly developing his skills for over a decade, his plan was exposed in a single moment by his own teacher, who utterly crushed him as if instructing a student on their homework. Without uttering a word, the teacher finished the attack and ran.

And the matter was far from over; they had to remain highly vigilant from then on, both to find them and to prevent a sneak attack.

This sudden reversal of cat and mouse identities made them feel uncomfortable, even humiliated and resentful.

The Chunin and Genin of Amegakure received orders from God and the Angels to conduct a thorough search for any trace of the intruders, leaving no corner unchecked.

The group was ordered to retreat, scattering in all directions through the rain.

Jiraiya hid in an underground pipe and carefully changed into clean clothes. With his skills and the intelligence he possessed, he was more than capable of dealing with Pain if he used his true abilities.

If Naruto had been there to support them, they would most likely have won the battle.

But Naruto's words before the plan began woke him up: if you can win the battle at a lower cost, why risk your life? Besides, even if he defeated all his former students, it wouldn't necessarily change their minds.

Naruto's Talk no Jutsu to Pain and Konan wasn't entirely about stalling for time. Jiraiya, hiding in the shadows, overheard their conversation clearly, and a chill ran through him.

He didn't know what had happened that allowed his students, who were supposed to be "dead," to survive by sheer luck, or how they had ended up in this state.

However, their actions were intolerable to Jiraiya's morality, as they contradicted the principles he had taught them.

Both morally and logically, Jiraiya had to stop his disciples from continuing to do evil.

Naruto's solution was simple: the best way to pull the delusional teenager out of his delusion was to shatter his confidence and subdue him from every angle.

Let them know that the so-called gods are just delusions, and that they are still human. Face reality, end their ideals with your own hands, and make them understand that the idea of making the world suffer is not feasible.

One teacher alone could beat them to a pulp, let alone the others. The methods were direct and cruel, but they sounded incredibly effective.

The two chose to split up and secretly look for an opportunity. Amegakure is a small village; once a fight breaks out, they can roughly determine each other's activity areas.

As for Naruto, he comfortably took a hot shower in the Hydrangea family's bathroom. He even made himself a cup of coffee and lay comfortably on the sofa.

Hydrangea was tied to the side, a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, kneeling resentfully on the carpet, looking at Naruto. That guy not only used her bathroom, but he even ate her food.

Waaaaah, those were lucky snacks she bought to bring good luck!

Naruto had taken over the nest, was quite relaxed. He glanced at the Hydrangea and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the hospitality. I feel right at home."

"Waaaaah!!! Waaaah!" The Hydrangea struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.

"Keep it quiet, I'll be leaving after a while," Naruto said seriously, blowing on his coffee to warm it before taking a slow sip.

He kept his word. Late at night, he heard noises downstairs. Naruto got up from the sofa, untied the ropes from the Hydrangea, and neatly tossed it into the Sealing Space.

The four symbols form a prison, Yugito Nii have gained another cellmate. Air has been injected into the Sealing Space, and with a cellmate, life in the prison won't be too monotonous.

Hydrangea's abilities are unique, and Naruto intended to let her go from the beginning.

The ninjas downstairs slowly made their way upstairs to search, working in pairs, their faces showing exhaustion. As soon as they reached the top, Naruto swiftly grabbed one of their necks and twisted it.

Under the cover of night, he hurriedly went downstairs. His target was Pain outside the Preta Path. Currently, only Jiraiya could deal with the Preta Path; if he encountered him, he would simply run away.

His Flying Thunder God technique has been maxed out by the system, and his marking skills are unparalleled. Be prepared; escaping shouldn't be difficult at all.

He left two invisible Flying Thunder God Kunai on the road, climbed over the building alone, avoided the rain, and nimbly made his way to a few ninjas, snapping his neck with a crack.

After some investigation, he approached the Animal Path Pain, threw out Flying Thunder God Kunai, and quickly switched positions to get closer to the Animal Path Pain.

He violently conjured a Rasengan with one hand, then used the Flying Thunder God to pass through the rain without getting wet, and slammed it heavily onto the Animal Path Pain.

Pain was startled by the sound of the kunai cutting through the air and actually dodged in advance. The Rasengan only managed to tear apart one of his arms before he was sent flying.

Meanwhile, the other three Pain also learned of Naruto's location and were rapidly closing in from other places.

All of Pain's vision is shared, and currently only four of the Six Paths of Pain remain. The Human Path and the Naraka Path have already been destroyed by him and Jiraiya Teuchi, and Nagato doesn't have time to find a puppet yet.

If the Naraka Path had not been destroyed, even if the other Pain were destroyed, they could still be perfectly repaired after being recovered by the Hell Path Pain.

The only thing consumed was probably Chakra, but Nagato, a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, was not short of Chakra. Given some time, his Chakra would recover immediately.

The tricky part about the Six Paths of Pain lies here: the Hell Path Pain perfect endurance, Preta Path Pain has perfect defense. Currently, Pain's endurance has been compromised.

As for destroying the Human Path, it was mainly because Naruto didn't want Jiraiya to face a mental attack. Preta Path could control the Jiraiya Path, while Naruto himself could control the Animal Path.

No matter what kind of Summoning Beast it is, it's all a pushover in front of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu.

Animal Path Pain barely managed to summon a Dividing Dog with one hand, but before the huge Dividing Dog could even bark, Naruto used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to subdue it.

With a burst of energy, Naruto activated the Lava Release technique within him, melting half of Animal Path Pain's body. After defeating Animal Path Pain, he didn't pause, taking off his clothes as he fled into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Deva Path Pain and Preta Path Pain, with their absolute defense, were rushing from the sewers to the location where Animal Path Pain had encountered trouble. At a corner, they were suddenly attacked by Jiraiya, who punched them both away.

Deva Path Pain stopped, and three pairs of eyes lit up in the smoke and dust.

[Sage Technique. Sage Art: Goemon]

Deva Path Pain sensed a surge in Jiraiya's Chakra, his Natural Energy reaching an almost terrifying peak. Footsteps sounded, Jiraiya emerged from the dust.

At this moment Jiraiya had a Toad perched on each of his shoulders, representing the two great hermit couple from Mount Myōboku. His facial makeup also featured Toad- shaped patterns, and his cheeks were puffed out.

The imperfect immortal state seemed even more eerie in the dimly lit sewer. An unsettling Sage Mode, brimming with Natural Energy almost overflowing.

Even Nagato, who considered himself to have surpassed the gods, couldn't help but become cautious; his teacher seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

Without uttering a word, Jiraiya prepared to unleash his true power. His gaze was fixed on the Preta Path Pain, Chakra shifted to his feet, causing him to kick off his shoes.

His feet swelled rapidly like Toad's, pressing firmly to the ground to counter Deva Path Pain's attraction.

A palpable killing intent spread in an instant!
