Shadow Clones?
Had Naraku really said those things to Naruto to hint at a way to solve his Sage Mode problem?
Jiraiya was a little uncertain, but with Naruto so sure, perhaps he had.
The question was how to use Shadow Clones to solve the problem.
At that thought, Jiraiya hurriedly asked, "Did Naraku only tell you that Shadow Clones could solve the problem? Did he say anything else? Like exactly how to do it?"
Naruto shook his head. "No!"
Shadow Clones, Shadow Clones...
Jiraiya and Naruto both began thinking carefully. By then, Fukasaku had also recovered from the news that Shihōin Naraku had mastered Shikkotsu Forest Senjutsu and joined them in thinking of a solution.
Just then, a Messenger Toad rushed up before them.
"B-bad news! Members of the Akatsuki have attacked Konoha, and the fighting has already started!"
"Smoke is rising all over Konoha!"
"Konoha is in complete chaos!"
"What?!"
The Messenger Toad's report clearly frightened Jiraiya and Naruto. Even Sage Fukasaku was shocked by the news.
"So Nagato really did come!" The expression that appeared on Jiraiya's face was difficult to read. Even he could not say what he was feeling at that moment.
The student he had once painstakingly taught and nurtured was now attacking Konoha!
What an absurd drama!
Jiraiya had never imagined that entrusting his ideals of peace to Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, would lead to this!
"I'll go back right away!" Jiraiya set aside the jumbled thoughts in his head and stood up without the slightest hesitation.
Since his student had gone astray, he, as the teacher, should take responsibility for bringing him back onto the right path.
Even if it cost him his life, he would not hesitate!
"I'm coming too!"
Not to be left behind, Naruto also prepared to leave
