A light drizzle
Just as the Konoha visiting team set off...
Outside the barrier of Amegakure, a group of six people in red robes and black clouds all wore the same indifferent expressions!
The Naraka Path possesses the ability to resurrect!
The Preta Path possesses excellent defensive capabilities and can directly absorb the Preta Path of Chakra!
The Human Path is agile and capable of directly extracting the soul of its opponents!
It can summon a large number of summoning beasts empowered by the Rinnegan, sharing vision with them and launching group attacks on enemies from the Animal Path!
Forged from mechanical armor, its arms can split open to fire projectiles and lasers— Asura Path!
The Human Path that can manipulate repulsive and attractive forces!
To capture the strongest Tailed Beast!
Six Paths of Pain launch a full-scale attack, heading straight for Konoha!
At the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Waves, in front of the Rich Man Bridge.
Obito, determined to infiltrate Kirigakure, was stopped by Black and White Zetsu!
" Nagato has taken the Six Paths of Pain to Konoha!"
Obito frowned. "Didn't we discuss this in the last meeting? Is there something wrong?"
Black Zetsu frowned. " Konoha has made a high-profile announcement that a team led by the Hokage himself will visit Kirigakure."
" The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is among them; Nagato and the others will likely find nothing."
Access Kirigakure?
Obito frowned in thought, then looked up and said, "Go and inform Nagato about the whereabouts of Konoha and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"There might not be enough time." Black Zetsu looked up and replied, "By the time Nagato arrives, Konoha's forces might already be inside Kirigakure."
Obito sneered, "Isn't Nagato curious about who that person is? Let him see for himself!"
" The Nine-Tails has appeared, along with the Six Paths of Pain!"
" With the Kirigakure in chaos, our intelligence gathering and the capture of the Three-Tails will be much easier!"
Given Nagato's current attitude towards me and Black Zetsu, it's better to let Nagato cause a ruckus than to try to persuade me and risk being suspected!
The more chaotic the situation, the better he can take advantage of the confusion.
" The Rinnegan is an indispensable part of controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Black Zetsu asked, puzzled, "What if Nagato is killed and his eyes are taken..."
Black Zetsu, who was determined to save his mother, would rather delay for another hundred years than have his Rinnegan taken away by that mysterious person!
It's important to know that Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Mangekyou Sharingan, evolved such eyes only after fusing with Hashirama Cells!
The importance of the Rinnegan even surpasses that of the Tailed Beast!
Obito shook his head. " Nagato's main body will definitely choose a safe place to hide; it will only be those six puppets that make a move."
"What if Six Paths of Pain are defeated, Nagato's true form is discovered..."
Obito chuckled softly, "Then I'll appear at the last moment as his savior."
Black Zetsu nodded.
Last time in Kirigakure, Obito used a space-time Dōjutsu to escape with Black Zetsu.
If we locate Nagato's main body beforehand, we should be able to save those eyes!
Even if he fails, Obito can still use Izanagi to save his life.
This plan...
It should be feasible.
Black Zetsu didn't ask any more questions and went straight underground to take care of his business.
Unfortunately, these two didn't consider that Haruma had deliberately let them go in the first place.
I may have considered it, but I still can't believe it!
Four days later,
Despite being under the watchful eyes of several factions, Kirigakure continues its daily routine without a care in the world.
Busy making money...
A letter from Konoha, and a notification from Kakuzu...
Knowing that the village was about to become the center of a vortex, Kirigakure Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage and nominal leader of Kirigakure, showed no concern whatsoever.
Instead, she leisurely spent her time in the office getting ready and choosing outfits.
She handed the documents that needed processing to her secretary, Qing...
And then there's this perverted boss on top of that...
Women's innate love of beauty doesn't need to be hidden.
With only a few hundred million people arriving, the Kirigakure won't cause any chaos.
We've already left the Land of Land of Fire; not far away is the Rich Man Bridge connecting the two countries.
The Konoha delegation, having halted its journey, is now resting in place.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya seized the opportunity to summon Naruto and a group of Genin, preparing to summon Fukasaku- sama to protect him!
" Summoning Technique!"
As the white smoke dissipated, Jiraiya smiled at the couple who had appeared on his shoulders, "Long time no see, boss, big sister."
Tsunade, who was standing to the side, also nodded and greeted them.
" Little Jiraiya, it's been a long time."
Fukasaku perched on Jiraiya's shoulder, a hint of emotion in his expression.
It has been many years since I was summoned to breathe the air of the Shinobi World.
Especially when faced with those noisy kids in the holy land, being able to steal a few minutes of peace is already a blessing!
Ever since the contract signed by the immortal was distributed to all the Toad...
Those outrageous contract terms almost caused a rebellion these past two days!
"Boss, Big Sister."
Jiraiya scratched his head sheepishly and said, "This time, I'll have to trouble you two to be my bodyguards and take care of these children."
"If they encounter any danger, please take these little ones to Mount Myōboku for safety."
"Well..."
Fukasaku's lips twitched, and he stared at Jiraiya speechlessly for a long time...
"Boss, what's wrong with you...?"
Jiraiya looked at Fukasaku with a puzzled expression. Surely such a small matter shouldn't be enough to warrant a refusal?
She knew her husband was in a dilemma, after all, he hadn't seen Little Jiraiya for several years. And yet, over such a small matter, he still had to... you know.
It's normal to feel embarrassed to speak up.
Shima patted Jiraiya on the shoulder. "Kid, let me explain."
"Uh, please go ahead, boss."
Jiraiya tilted his head, looking puzzled.
"Cough cough..."
"Recently, Mount Myōboku has added a few more rules..."
"Anything involving summoning spirit beasts for battle or getting things done requires paying a small service fee..."
Jiraiya: "???"
Tsunade nearby. "???"
All the Genin: "???"
"Hey, you Pervy Sage, where did you find this clown?!"
"Are they really from Mount Myōboku, the parents of Gamabunta?!"
Naruto retorted, speechless!
Despite having been warned about his attitude by Granny Tsunade and Jiraiya beforehand.
But upon hearing the old Toad's words, Naruto simply couldn't hold back any longer!
Now even connecting with spirit beasts requires payment, what am I, a penniless wretch, supposed to do?!
"Bang!"
Naruto, who was complaining, was punched in the head!
Only its dazed head remained above the soil.
" Naruto, watch your attitude!"
Tsunade withdrew her fist and glared at Naruto with hostility!
In any case, our safety along the way depended on these two.
Naruto's attitude might displease the couple, making them unwilling to help, which would be a real problem!
Fukasaku lowered his head, looking at the golden, spiky hair. "This little guy, he must be Little Jiraiya's apprentice."
" Tsunade, you don't need to do that."
"We ourselves feel that this rule is very unreasonable."
"Then what fee are you referring to, Immortal?" Tsunade looked at Fukasaku with confusion.
"Why..."
Fukasaku sighed and recounted the current situation of Mount Myōboku, as well as the contract signed between the Toad Sage and the mysterious person.
Upon hearing the details of the incident, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others were utterly shocked!
Jiraiya's eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss, you mean someone attacked Mount Myōboku and forced the sages to sign an unfair contract?!"
PS: First of all, Sister Shark would like to thank everyone for their love and support.
The data for this book is dismal; writing for five hours a day only earns ten yuan...
While it won't end abruptly, the plot will be slightly sped up.
I'm already preparing the outline for another book; I hope you all understand.
This book will have a proper ending, so those of you who have followed it this far don't need to worry.
