The Master and Student's Battle Ends

Jiraiya stared in shock at Nagato not far away.

That feeling just now was definitely right; the Chakra within his Rasengan had been absorbed.

"Jiraiya, what just happened?"

"With the two of us helping you, how can you not control Natural Energy?"

Fukasaku and Shima raised their questions at the opportune moment.

Jiraiya already had the answer in his heart.

It's definitely a special ability of the Rinnegan!

Does that mean even Ninjutsu is ineffective?

No, I can't be sure, I need to try again!

Jiraiya did not answer the two immortals' questions, but instead spoke.

"Hey, you two, let's give Sage Art: Goemon a try!"

Jiraiya didn't say much after that and began to Hand Seals. The two immortals on his shoulders followed Jiraiya and Hand Seals Jiraiya made his move.

"When all the preparations are complete, "Jiraiya shouted.

"Nagato, this is my most destructive technique, watch out!"

[Sage Art: Sage Art: Goemon!]

Shima, perched on his left shoulder, spewed forth blazing flames.

Fukasaku on his right shoulder also unleashed a powerful hurricane.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, who was in the middle, spat out a large amount of boiling oil that was brownish-red from his mouth.

This is Jiraiya's signature Ninjutsu, an enhanced version of the Toad Oil Flame Bullet.

The combination of wind and fire Ninjutsu was already incredibly powerful, and when combined with Jiraiya's unique Toad Oil, its power was amplified to another level. Finally, there was the massive boost from Sage Mode.

Jiraiya, who had mastered a large number of unique Ninjutsu, might not have used Sage Art: Goemon frequently, and they weren't particularly useful for him.

But as Jiraiya said, this was the strongest attack he could use.

Nagato watched as the three incoming Ninjutsu merged into one as they approached him, their power multiplied.

With his Rinnegan, Nagato knew very well that this technique alone might be enough to destroy a village.

However, Jiraiya is now facing him, the only ninja with Sage's Eyes since the Sage of Six Paths, so all of this will be meaningless.

[Preta Path - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!]

As Nagato extended his right hand, the Chakra within Sage Art: Goemon: Goemon was directly absorbed without causing Nagato any harm.

Not only Jiraiya's technique, but also Naruto's [Sage Art: Rasenshuriken] in the original work was absorbed by Preta Path Pain without any side effects.

The reason why the Preta Path turned to stone during its battle with Naruto was because it absorbed Natural Energy directly provided by Naruto, not Naruto's techniques.

At the same time, not only Jiraiya, but also Fukasaku and Shima all sensed that the Chakra in the technique was being absorbed.

"How is this possible!"

"The technique's Chakra has been absorbed!"

Shima and Fukasaku exclaimed in surprise one after the other in Jiraiya's ear, Jiraiya was now completely certain that Ninjutsu was completely ineffective against Nagato.

If Ren were here now, he would clearly tell Jiraiya that this is normal, that Nagato has higher privileges than him, and that Nagato is a VIP player!

If Jiraiya knew about the VVIP performance of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he would probably be even more shocked. At that time, he didn't even need to use his abilities; he was completely immune to ordinary Ninjutsu, and only Senjutsu could break through his defenses.

This is why privilege-monitoring devices are hated.

That's so unfair!

When Jiraiya's Ninjutsu, powerful enough to destroy a small ninja village, was reduced to nothing by Preta Path's Nagato ability.

Jiraiya lost the will to continue fighting. He couldn't win with Taijutsu, Ninjutsu was completely ineffective, and he wasn't good at Genjutsu.

However, at this moment, Jiraiya's two leaders stepped forward, Fukasaku asked a question.

"Jiraiya, did you already know beforehand that the Ninjutsu was ineffective?"

"There were some guesses, but nothing was certain; now it's confirmed."

Jiraiya replied in a somewhat somber tone.

"Well, there's no other way then, I'll have to use Genjutsu, but it's a shame about my old voice!"

After hearing their conversation, Sage Shima spoke up.

The Toad Confrontation Chant?

"Old man, are you ready? Don't hold me back!"

"Mind your own business, you old woman!"

Just as the two immortals finished discussing and were about to use their ultimate techniques, Jiraiya spoke up.

"Bosses, let's just call it a day!"

Jiraiya sensed the Senjutsu Chakra within his body; if he insisted on fighting, he could continue for quite some time.

With his extensive combat experience and the help of the two sages, Jiraiya was certain he could cause Nagato considerable trouble.

No matter how many hidden abilities Nagato's Rinnegan still possesses!

However, Nagato was not an enemy that Jiraiya needed to defeat by any means necessary. When his strongest attack was easily neutralized by Nagato, Jiraiya's fighting spirit diminished.

There was disappointment, relief, and above all, a sense of guilt towards Nagato.

"Little Jiraiya, are you going to pass out?"

Seeing that Sage Shima Jiraiya to provoke him.

"Boss Shima, there's no need to try to persuade me!"

After responding to Sage Shima's words, Jiraiya spoke again.

"Thank you both so much for your help this time!"

"Small..."

Thump~ Thump~

Sage Fukasaku had barely begun speaking when Jiraiya dispelled the Summoning Technique and they returned to Mount Myōboku together with Sage Shima.

Looking at Nagato, whose strength alone was enough to make Nagato with anywhere in the Shinobi World.

Jiraiya realized that his approach was still wrong. Nagato was no longer a child, and perhaps he needed to change his way of interacting with him.

Jiraiya gave Nagato a deep look, then his gaze lingered on Konan for a moment Jiraiya and began to leave.

"Haha, I had a great time today! Nagato, Konan, I'll come find you again tomorrow!"

Jiraiya's unrestrained voice reached Nagato and Konan's ears Jiraiya strode away with rather bold steps, as if he were the victor of a battle.

Just as Jiraiya's figure was gradually disappearing into the distance, Nagato spoke.

"Jiraiya- sensei, could you tell me about the Chosen Ones? I'm very interested!"
