After the explanation from Jiraiya the Wanderer, Pain the Wanderer felt that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, out of trust in Jiraiya the Wanderer, he explained his plan to Naruto and Sasuke again.
After all, his plan was to find a stranger who could save the world, and now he had found two people who met the requirements—buy one get one free.
Jiraiya the Wanderer Pain the Wanderer never expected that the guy Pain was talking about who would save the world would actually be Naruto, and of course, Sasuke standing to the side. Making two kids save the world? Isn't that ridiculous?
Jiraiya the Wanderer initially trusted Pain the Wanderer's assessment, as he possessed almost all of his memories from his previous life. He also knew that Pain the Wanderer's eyes were the Rinnegan, the Eye of God, eyes that existed only in legends. He had already seen them twice, so he wasn't surprised that Pain the Wanderer could see the future with those eyes.
But the Child of Destiny to save the world are Naruto and Sasuke. Jiraiya the Wanderer still finds it hard to believe, because in his eyes, Naruto and Sasuke are just two immature brats. How could the burden of saving the world be forced onto their shoulders?
He pulled Pain the Wanderer aside and asked him in a low voice, while also glancing at Naruto and Sasuke, who were playfully fighting each other.
"Hey kid, are you sure you're not seeing things? These two brats are really the Child of Destiny to save the world?"
Jiraiya the Wanderer's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He pointed to the two brothers, Naruto and Sasuke, who were standing not far away, seriously picking their Naruto. With Naruto and Sasuke looking so unreliable, it's no wonder Jiraiya the Wanderer lacked confidence. Anyone would have thought these two were unreliable.
Although somewhat puzzled, Pain the Wanderer still answered Jiraiya the Wanderer's question seriously.
" Jiraiya- sensei, trust my eyes, I absolutely cannot be mistaken."
"Sigh, okay."
Seeing the look of Pain the Wanderer, Jiraiya the Wanderer could only resign himself to his fate, sighing helplessly and accepting the reality.
However, he also became curious about the person Naruto and Sasuke were chasing. Considering what Pain the Wanderer had said, that this world was ultimately saved by people from another world, could the one who started the conflict also be someone from another world, the guy Naruto was chasing?
"Hiss," Jiraiya thought, finding the idea of wandering increasingly absurd Jiraiya the Wanderer, and quickly stopped himself from having those dangerous thoughts.
" Naruto, tell me the truth, who exactly is that guy you're chasing?"
Jiraiya the Wanderer, looked at Naruto with a serious expression, wanting to know who the person Naruto about was.
Seeing this, Naruto's expression also turned serious. Combining what the Pain the Wanderer had said, Naruto was certain that Obito had likely already met with the Obito the Wanderer of this world. He just didn't know if the two would combine into a two-star Obito after meeting, or if they would share common memories.
"That guy is Obito Uchiha."
"What? Obito Uchiha? Didn't that child die on the battlefield?"
Now it was Jiraiya the Wanderer's turn to be bewildered. His big eyes were filled with confusion, his expression as if he were asking Naruto, "You don't think I'm too old and are just trying to fool me, do you?"
But Naruto's next words nearly drove Jiraiya the Wanderer into a rage. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently, showing just how angry he was. He wanted nothing more than to find Obito right now and tear him to pieces.
"You bastard!"
Jiraiya the Wanderer, punched a tree nearby, breaking the massive tree—a tree so large it would take two people to encircle it—into a stump.
Jiraiya the Wanderer's actions naturally caught the attention of Pain the Wanderer. It was the first time he had ever seen his teacher so angry. His anger had reached a tangible level, and his surging Chakra was incredibly violent. Even though Pain the Wanderer and Sasuke were far apart, they could feel the oppressive aura, which made their chests feel tight.
But seeing that his teacher was still listening to Naruto despite his anger, the wandering Pain the Wanderer simply stayed put.
"So, are you absolutely certain that that guy also came to this world?"
"Yes, he must have come to this world, because this isn't the first time he's taken us to other worlds."
Upon Jiraiya the Wanderer, unusually, stopped his outburst of anger, stroking his chin as if deep in thought.
What, you still don't believe me?
Jiraiya, the Jiraiya the Wanderer, was not angry at Naruto's teasing. Instead, he asked Naruto a question that surprised him. He asked the question calmly, as if he were not the same person who had been so irritable just moments before.
"So, in that other world, I wasn't able to notice you in time, right?"
Naruto was visibly taken aback when he heard the question, but quickly regained his composure.
"Tch, stop being so wishy-washy, hurry up and find that Obito guy, I want to get back as soon as possible."
Seeing Jiraiya the Wanderer Naruto didn't want to answer his question, Jiraiya could only sigh helplessly. At the same time, he made a firm resolution in his heart: he must find a way to make amends to this child. He had suffered so much these past years, and as an elder, he hadn't been able to offer him the care he needed...
"Hey, Sasuko, is this really okay?"
Looking at Naruto walking ahead and Jiraiya the Wanderer chasing behind, Pain the Wanderer felt his mind was in a mess. With his incomplete memory, he couldn't understand what was wrong with these people.
"It's alright, don't worry about it."
Compared to the Pain the Wanderer, Sasuke, who was in the know, appeared much calmer.
Finally, the group decided to first find the Konan the Wanderer, so they could better understand the current situation of the Akatsuki and what that Obito the Wanderer was planning to do.
As for Obito the Wanderer, whom they were discussing, he was currently holding a meeting with his subordinates.
"Next, you need to go to the various tribes, instigate wars, and create chaos. This will allow our plan to proceed more effectively. Go and carry out your missions."
After finishing his speech, Obito the Wanderer vanished into the void, leaving the few people present looking at each other in bewilderment.
Until a discordant sound rang out.
"Why are you all staring at this old man? Go and do your own work."
The gaze shifted, and the person who spoke had bandages wrapped around their face, and the one eye that was exposed emitted an eerie red light. Their cold gaze swept over the people present, and their tone was casual, as if they were dismissing some servant.
