"I know!" Nagato lowered his eyes, "I knew it from the moment he entered Land of Rain!"
At this time, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
On the one hand, he was grateful for Jiraiya's previous teachings. On the other hand, he was worried that Jiraiya would become an obstacle to their plans.
Obito frowned slightly, "What are you going to do? After all, he is Sannin, he is very strong!"
If a fight really breaks out, two against one, Uchiha Obito is confident that Jiraiya will be dead.
But if Nagato showed mercy to Jiraiya and deliberately let him go, it might cause unnecessary trouble and affect their plans.
Of course Nagato didn't know what Uchiha Obito was thinking. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
"What must be faced must be faced."
"If he is just here to reminisce about old times, I can talk to him for the sake of our past friendship. But if he wants to stop our plan..."
A trace of determination flashed in Nagato's eyes, and he said coldly, "Then I won't show mercy."
Uchiha Obito narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Nagato, and nodded slightly.
"It better be so!"
"You remember, our purpose is to create a peaceful world, and any obstacles must be removed."
Uchiha Obito's words revealed a coldness.
In order to achieve his goal, complete Eye of the Moon Plan and resurrect Lin in a new world, he will do whatever it takes.
Then he got into Kamui Dimension and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, on the streets of Amegakure, Jiraiya quickly shuttled through the rain.
At this time, his heart was full of doubts and worries, and he was very eager to see Yahiko, find out the whereabouts of Nagato and Konan, and the truth behind all this.
The rain falling on his body made him feel a little chilly.
He recalled the days he spent with Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, when they were full of hopes and dreams.
However, now they have taken a different path.
Jiraiya didn't know if he could still save them, he only knew that he had to give it a try.
Time passed slowly, and his figure gradually approached the tall tower in the center.
At this time, an extremely large chakra appeared from the top of the tower and soared into the sky. In an instant, the dark clouds over Land of Rain dispersed, revealing the blue sky and sunlight scattered down.
"God!"
"God!"
"God!"
"..."
Waves of cheers filled with fanaticism and reverence came from all directions.
The faces of the people around were filled with joy and piety, as if they saw hope and the future in this light.
They worshiped in the direction of the tower and kept shouting words of praise to the "god". The sound echoed on the land of Land of Rain for a long time.
Jiraiya was very shocked to see the scene in front of him, and his mouth opened slightly unconsciously.
The rumors turned out to be true.
So to what extent is Yahiko's strength now able to dispel the dark clouds hanging over the entire Land of Rain.
At the same time, I became more determined to meet Yahiko.
After all, a single thought by a strong person can very likely lead to extremely serious consequences, and may even lead to corpses littering the fields.
He must nip this dangerous sign in advance without any hesitation or slack.
However, just as Jiraiya was about to continue heading towards the Amegakure tower, a figure suddenly flew out and soon came to him.
At this moment, Pain was wearing a black robe with red clouds, his face was covered with steel nails, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, standing above Jiraiya, looking down at him.
"Yahiko, it's really you!"
Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and he didn't know how to speak.
The sunlight was scattered, but it couldn't bring him any warmth.
"Teacher Jiraiya!" Pain looked at Jiraiya expressionlessly, "Long time no see!"
Jiraiya raised his head slightly and said with a hint of helplessness and regret, "Yahiko, no, you are Pain now."
"How did you become like this? Where is Nagato? And where is Konan?"
Pain was still standing quietly in the air, his black robe with red clouds fluttering slightly in the wind, and he answered the wrong question.
"Teacher Jiraiya, what are you doing here Amegakure this time?"
Jiraiya said with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Let's see you!"
At this time, Amegakure, a blue-haired woman also wearing a black robe with red clouds suddenly flew out.
After seeing Pain in mid-air and the person on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Teacher Jiraiya, why are you here?"
Then he quickly landed on the ground and came to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya turned around and saw a sincere smile on the face of the beautiful figure.
"Konan!"
"You've grown so big and become more beautiful!"
Hearing Jiraiya's teasing, Konan pursed his lips slightly, "It's as if I wasn't beautiful before."
Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment, "Beautiful, beautiful, Konan has always been so beautiful."
"Hmph!"
Immediately afterwards, Konan looked up at Pain in mid-air, seemed to have realized something, and slowly took a few steps back.
Countless papers were flying around her, gradually gathering into a pair of wings behind her, and then flew to Pain, saying softly.
"Didn't you reach an agreement with Teacher Jiraiya?"
Pain shook his head slightly, "Leave it to me!"
Konan nodded very obediently, and the wings behind him moved up and down, flapping gently, just like a Angel coming to the world.
Seeing such a big change in Konan's demeanor, Jiraiya's face changed slightly, and he turned to look at Pain standing in mid-air again, speaking directly.
"Yahiko, why did you follow Sunagakure's behavior, massacre the nobles, and send people to the surrounding small countries to plunder supplies? Do you know how many people were killed by such behavior?"
Pain lowered his head slightly and responded indifferently, "Teacher Jiraiya, this world is full of darkness and pain. Only absolute power can bring peace."
His voice was like the cold rain, without any warmth.
Jiraiya frowned and retorted, "Peace is not achieved through violence and fear. What you do will only bring more hatred and pain."
Pain snorted coldly and raised his chin slightly, "But weren't you, Konoha, the ones who started this kind of behavior?"
"Uchiha Yan led seven thousand ninja troops to attack Land of Lightning, killing and injuring an unknown number of people."
"There is also Shisui Uchiha who has also moved in with his ninja army and fully taken over Land of Rice Fields."
"In other words, you Konoha are the culprit for the current turmoil in Ninja World."
"..."
Jiraiya At this time, his mouth was slightly open, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Ninja World The current troubled times were indeed caused by Konoha.
But when Uchiha Yan led people to attack Land of Lightning, it was Cloud Village Delegation who offended him first.
There are also Land of Rice Fields and Otogakure founded by Orochimaru. Now that Orochimaru returns to Konoha, it is very reasonable for Konoha to send someone to take over Otogakure.
He doesn't think there's any problem!
As for Sunagakure, it was completely forced into this by the nobles. It is a special case and cannot be generalized.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya wants to give it one last try.
"But you have to know that true peace requires people to understand, tolerate and care for each other. Conquering the world by force will only cause more people to lose their lives."
Pain remained unmoved, folded his hands on his chest, and said.
"Mutual understanding? That's just a naive fantasy. Only the strong can decide everything in this world. Konoha's recent actions have proven this."
"Teacher Jiraiya, this world is in a state of decay. Only through radical change can true peace be achieved."
"The greed and selfishness of the nobles have made the people live in dire straits. Our actions are to bring a new order to the world."
Konan stood quietly next to Pain, his eyes full of determination. "Teacher Jiraiya, we have no retreat. This world needs us to change."
Jiraiya raised his head and looked at the two disciples standing in mid-air, as if they were gods descending to the world, and sighed softly.
"Yahiko, Konan, you have really changed. Let me ask one last question, where is Nagato!"
Seeing Jiraiya mention this name, Pain's emotions fluctuated for the first time, and his fists clenched slightly.
"Nagato? He is already dead. He died at the end of Third Shinobi World War and was plotted by Konoha Ninja!"
At the same time, he pulled off the cloth covering his eyes, revealing a pair of purple circled eyes.
Rinnegan!
Jiraiya looked at Rinnegan exposed by Pain, and was shocked in his heart.
He never expected that Nagato would die in the hands of Konoha Ninja, and the Yahiko in front of him actually inherited Rinnegan from Nagato.
"How could...Nagato he..." Jiraiya's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of grief.
Recalling the days spent with Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, they had a desire for peace at that time, but now things have changed.
Pain's eyes flashed with complex emotions, as if he was recalling the past.
"Teacher Jiraiya, there is no hope in this world. We can only create peace in our own way."
Konan gently held Pain's hand, gave him support, and echoed.
"Teacher Jiraiya, we have decided and we will not look back."
Jiraiya Take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down.
"Yahiko, Konan, you are wrong. Such peace is false and will only bring more pain."
Pain shook his head, "Teacher Jiraiya, you don't understand, we have no choice."
Jiraiya looked at them, feeling helpless in his heart.
He knew that he could no longer convince them.
"Yahiko, Konan, I won't let you continue to make mistakes."
A trace of coldness flashed in Pain's eyes, "Teacher Jiraiya, since you are so stubborn, don't blame us for being rude."
After saying that, the chakra in his body surged, and a strong sense of oppression came to his face.
Konan also unfolded the paper wings behind him, ready to fight at any time.
In this land of Land of Rain, the former master and apprentice are now facing each other at war.
Now Jiraiya regrets very much. He regrets why he didn't bring Nagato, Konan, Yahiko back to Konoha
After bringing back Konoha, today's scene would not have happened.
However, just when Jiraiya was about to channel Toad of Mount Myoboku, several very powerful auras suddenly came from all around, causing his Hand Seals hands to stagnate slightly.
"Teacher Jiraiya, leave Land of Rain and don't come back again!" Pain tried to dissuade her again, but her tone was still cold.
And Jiraiya also knew that things were irreversible, so he could only put down his hands, turned around and left lonely, leaving only one sentence.
"Yahiko, you will definitely regret it!"
But things are not always as simple as everyone thinks.
Just when Jiraiya was about to step out of Land of Rain, two extremely powerful chakra fluctuations came from all around, which were completely different from any aura just felt in Amegakure.
Immediately afterwards, two figures wearing black and red robes slowly appeared on both sides of Jiraiya.
One person's face wears Tiger Mask, with only one eye exposed.
The other one is tall and burly, with dark blue skin, a shark-like face, and a strange alien broadsword on his back.
"Are you also from Akatsuki Organization? Were you sent by Yahiko?"
Jiraiya stopped, the chakra in his body continued to flow out of his body, and he was already ready for battle.
In response to Jiraiya's question, Uchiha Obito sneered and ignored it, then turned to Kisame Hoshigaki and said.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, he is your mission target, and he is also your assessment for entering the 'Dawn'. Remember, Akatsuki Organization does not accept the weak."
Kisame Hoshigaki smiled ferociously, silently pulled out Ninja Blade behind him, and rushed towards Jiraiya.
"Water Release·Great Waterfall Technique!"
"..."
"Psychic·Gamabunta!"
"..."
The war breaks out instantly!
Land of Lightning, Kumogakure Outside, the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire battlefield.
A large number of ninjas gathered here, carrying a Uzumaki-shaped Forehead Protector on their bodies, and they were roaring and attacking the nearby ninja village.
The shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth, and the light of ninjutsu flickered one after another on the battlefield.
Not far away, two figures were fighting madly.
One person holds two Black Receiver, with a strong body shape. Every time he swings Black Receiver, there is a sharp wind sound and powerful power fluctuations.
The other man had a knife clamped on various parts of his body and was constantly changing his body shape. The knife in his hand shone coldly in the sun.
Every attack is precise and deadly. The seven knives work together seamlessly, cutting, stabbing, picking or splitting, forming an airtight attack network.
The two collided instantly, and Black Receiver intersected with the knife, making a deafening noise.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the powerful impact made the surrounding air seem to be distorted.
The two sides go back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and every attack contains huge power.
The dust on the battlefield was raised by the aftermath of their battle, forming a hazy smoke.
Around them, the ninja army also fell into a melee.
Konoha Ninjas charged forward like a raging tide, with firm eyes and shouting battle slogans.
Ninjutsu flew among the crowd, and huge fireballs roared towards the enemy, instantly igniting an area.
