Master and Disciples Reunite

[The captain of the Amegakure) forces has changed from Shigure to Nagato.]

Jiraiya learned about the origins of the Akatsuki when he saw the Root files at the Konoha Military Police Force.

Based on the intelligence already gathered, the Akatsuki and Amegakure have an intricate connection, which Jiraiya suspected, suggesting that Nagato and Konan might not be dead.

Now that he saw Nagato's name, Jiraiya's thoughts were no longer on the Allied Forces.

After numerous attempts, Jiraiya realized that stopping the Allied Forces' operation was impossible unless they were killed by force.

Regardless of whether Jiraiya or not, he couldn't bring Jiraiya to kill another group of people for the sake of the Land of Earth.

When Jiraiya saw Nagato's name appear, Jiraiya felt like he was back in action.

Jiraiya believed that the First chosen one was Nagato, while the Second Hokage was Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya, who once thought the First and Second Hokage were dead, now sees the chosen one, the First Hokage, reappear.

Jiraiya felt that the Great Toad Sage's prophecy of being the chosen one and the prophecy of the ninja's disappearance might be able to be combined into one.

What was originally a catastrophe that would have led to the complete extinction of ninjas was transformed into a revolution that swept through the Shinobi World, ushering in a new era for the ninja world, thanks to the efforts of the chosen one.

Yes, a perfect happy ending!

Having found the key factor, Jiraiya retrieved the seal and walked outside.

"Commander-in-Chief, there are still documents that haven't been signed!"

As Jiraiya stepped out of his tent, a ninja suddenly approached Jiraiya and offered some advice.

At this point, Jiraiya would never go back to being a mere stamp-stamping tool.

"Do what you did back then, and do it again now!"

Jiraiya scoffed in response, "Before, when Jiraiya refused to sign any documents, the command center kept sending out all sorts of documents. Now you're making me seem like I'm very important."

But the ninja persisted, staying right next to Jiraiya.

"Commander-in-Chief, you cannot desert your post!"

Jiraiya has wanted to quit more than once or twice.

In a great mood, Jiraiya offered a few extra explanations, which was unusual for him.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. I'm going to the Amegakure camp. You can come with me!"

Knowing that the guy behind him had a mission, Jiraiya didn't make things difficult for him.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

The location of the Amegakure base.

Konan had just incorporated the troops that had departed from Konoha into the troops she had brought with her.

The troops that came out of Kumogakure this time were personally led by Nagato.

Since recovering his health, Nagato has stopped hiding himself and has become involved in the management of Amegakure.

Nagato simply always stood behind Pain.

At the same time, Nagato also cut his long hair short, leaving only thick bangs on his forehead to cover the Rinnegan.

Nagato learned of the Iwagakure attack on Konoha through Amegakure's intelligence channels.

After learning the details, Nagato realized that Iwagakure and the Land of Earth were just scapegoats, and that Zetsu and Madara were the ones who actually took action.

Nagato didn't care that Zetsu and Madara, who were never on his side, acted on their own without informing him.

On the contrary, they took the Shinobi Alliance proposed by Ren very seriously.

Last time, he was first defeated by Ren, shattering Nagato's arrogance in calling himself a god, and then Ren completely negated his pursuit of peace with just a few words.

From that moment on, Nagato fell into a state of confusion.

This sudden discovery of Ren's proposed Shinobi Alliance plan, and its aim being peace in the Shinobi World, has led to this realization.

Nagato immediately became interested.

Ren's deception last time was clearly successful; at least in Nagato's mind, Ren is portrayed as a peace-loving person.

What is recorded on paper can never compare to actual experience.

Having regained his peak strength and made great Nagato, Nagato is lost and decides to come and see for himself the peace that Ren wants to create.

As for the Shinobi Alliance's first operation, they planned to dismantle the Land of Earth and the Iwagakure.

Nagato didn't see anything wrong with it; the Nagato of the past even wanted the world to feel pain.

In comparison, Nagato felt that Ren's method was exceptionally gentle.

Whether Ren's method would succeed, Nagato didn't know; he just wanted to experience it firsthand and find his own direction.

Therefore, Nagato personally led his troops to join the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Konan, who is inseparable from Nagato, naturally came out with him.

Just after the two forces merged, they received a report that the Allied Commander-in-Chief was already entering the camp and heading straight for them.

Although Jiraiya was essentially a tool, he still possessed certain powers.

For example, you can enter any ninja village's camp without permission; you can just walk in.

Otherwise, if the coalition commander-in-chief is so low-level that he needs permission for such things, he might as well not set up a command post at all.

"Nagato, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces seems to be Jiraiya- sensei."

Konan looked at Nagato and said, her tone somewhat panicked. Clearly, Konan didn't know how to face her former mentor.

"Don't worry, Konan, you just need to stand behind me!"

With just one sentence, Nagato understood Konan's thoughts and chose to step forward.

Just as Nagato finished speaking, a deep and surprised voice reached their ears.

"Nagato, Konan, it really is you!"
