Chapter 226

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood burst from his lips!

The five Pains, led by Yahiko, appeared before them without a trace of expression and slowly closed in.

"Jiraiya-sensei! It's over! A god cannot be defeated. Goodbye!"

"But first, I'll deal with you two toads who don't know when to quit!"

Deva Yahiko's face turned cold. He spread his right hand, about to use a Rinnegan ability, when a powerful hand clamped around it like an iron vise.

A familiar face had appeared before him at some point.

"Do me a favor and let them go, would you?"

His gentle tone and smiling face sent a flicker of fear through Pain's impassive eyes.

"You said you were only visiting the Land of Rain and wouldn't interfere in its affairs!"

"I didn't want to! But I couldn't stand by and watch an old friend die in front of me." Liuyun spread his hands helplessly.

"Besides, Tsunade would make me kneel on a washboard!"

Deva Yahiko glanced at Jiraiya, then at the smiling Liuyun before him. His voice was flat.

"So this was why you came to the Land of Rain."

Liuyun released his hand. Deva Yahiko turned away without looking back. "I hope you leave the Land of Rain soon. You aren't exactly welcome here."

With that, the five figures vanished in streaks of light.

"Whew! I'm saved! Never thought I'd be lucky enough to run into you here!"

Lying on the ground, Jiraiya wore the expression of a man who had narrowly escaped death.

Liuyun shook his head and held out a hand. Emerald light spread over the man and two toads.

Their wounds visibly closed, scabbed over, then disappeared, leaving skin that looked brand-new.
