Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

"The so-called Myoboku Mountain turns out to be the territory of that old toad. Humph, he encouraged those two traitors to betray their mother."

"When we revive our mother, you will all die!"

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly.

He had always thought that the old toad was dead, and that the so-called Myoboku Mountain might have been created by its descendants. Unexpectedly...

Old but not dead!
Until now, this guy is still alive!

Black Zetsu quietly lurked underground, searching for Nagato's location, and soon he sensed Nagato's location.

That rascal--

???

Why is this guy everywhere?
Black Zetsu was startled and immediately shrank several dozen meters underground, not daring to observe the situation around him anymore.

That boy is evil!
Although he was very confident in his Yin-Yang Release, even ninjas of the level of Madara and Senju Hashirama could not accurately detect his existence.

but……

What if?
Black Zetsu would rather wait a few more decades until this era is over than take the chance that Kyōhiko will not be able to seal him.

above.

Nagato is working hard to practice Sage Mode, fusing his chakra with natural energy at a faster rate.

He has not yet been able to speed up his ability to sense natural energy, so...

This is the only option.

Beside him, Jingyan examined Nagato's body and quietly observed the situation around Nagato with his own perception.

At this moment, he sensed a chakra fluctuation.

Spiritism?
What happened to Mr. Jiraiya?
He disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next second, Jingyan instantly appeared next to the toad that had returned through summoning magic.

The toad was a little confused at the moment.

It didn't feel very good. Just now, it seemed to be stained by something strange.

ghost?
The toad croaked and shook its whole body. Then it looked up and saw Jing Yan appear in front of it in an instant. It trembled all over.

"Quack! Why are you here?!"

"Just arrived. Is there anything going on with Jiraiya-sensei?"

"how do you know?"

The communication toad was very surprised, but still spit out the scroll hidden in its mouth as instructed.

"Jiraiya asked me to give this to you."

"it is good."

Jingyan picked up the scroll.

After opening it, there are some of Jiraiya’s thoughts on it.

Protect the Land of Grass and the Land of Water Trap.

this is necessary.

Even if Jiraiya didn't suggest it, he would send people to support the Land of Grass and the Land of Water Trap. Currently, Kakashi has led a combat team to the north -

The reason why it is not passed through the Flying Thunder Array is because there are currently very limited ninjas who master the Flying Thunder Array.

For emergency purposes, the Flying Thunder Array technique cannot be used frequently in the short term.

He put away the scroll and quickly wrote his transfer on a piece of paper, asking the communication toad to take it back to Jiraiya.

Originally, this was a perfect opportunity for Black Zetsu to leave.

He already knew the information he wanted to know and roughly determined the location of Mount Myoboku.

and so.

There's no point in staying here any longer.

but.

He didn't dare to show his head.

Jingyan's perception is too strong, and he can always give him some "surprises" every time, so Black Zetsu has to speculate about Jingyan to a higher level.

Must be avoided!

Do everything possible to avoid Jingyan's detection, and ensure that Nagato is controlled under this premise, or -

It's okay to just get the eyes!

Black Zetsu's thoughts raced as he considered possible strategies.

He only has his original body now, without the help of White Zetsu, and is very lacking in practical ability.

Even if he takes control of Nagato's body, Black Zetsu has to ensure that Nagato can escape, or get rid of the eye in some way!

It thought quickly and soon came up with a strategy in its mind.

Psychic!

The eyes of the Rinnegan can summon some special spirit beasts.

This is the power of the animal realm.

These psychic beasts are very special. Through them, I can complete my plan of seizing the eyes and escaping!
The premise is——

There must be enough opportunities and time.

Ryomine Kyouhiko is too powerful.

Even though Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu was not confident that he could defeat Ryomine Kyohiko after controlling Nagato.

otherwise.

He wouldn't have to worry about it so much.

After thinking for a long time, Black Zetsu followed in a lurking manner, secretly spying from deep underground.

anyway--

During this period, he has to keep calm.

We have made preparations for both situations and should be starting soon.

Everything comes in time!
……

Jingyan frowned.

The toad’s reaction just now made him feel very strange.

It is not a rare visitor to Mount Myoboku, nor is it something worth scaring. Why is it so emotional?
Could it be the influence of some kind of ninjutsu?
He couldn't be sure.

When Flying Thunder God came over, he didn't sense any special aura or chakra influence, so he could rule out the possibility of illusion.

Could it be Black Zetsu?
Not sure.

but.

He did not hesitate to use his greatest malice to speculate about Black Zetsu——

Because, for Madara and Black Zetsu, the most important thing at the moment is to obtain the Rinnegan!
and so.

He didn't think any more about it, but flew away like the Thunder God and returned to Nagato.

Nagato opened his eyes. The skin at the corners of his eyes had some signs of frog-like changes, but they were very slight and almost invisible to the naked eye.

This is very close to Naruto's state.

Almost perfect Sage Mode!
"what happened?"

Nagato looked at Kyouhiko.

"The ninja world is going to be in chaos. Madara has collected most of the tailed beasts. His next targets may be the One-Tail and the Nine-Tail."

Kyouhiko informed Nagato, who had moved to Mt. Myoboku, about the current situation in the ninja world.

Nagato listened quietly.

After a few seconds, a look of deep suspicion appeared on his face.

Ruining eyes?

Even if it was Yahiko who brought up this matter, it would be hard for him to really believe it directly, let alone Kyohiko.

Although the other party has some relationship with them, he has also helped them a lot over the years.

but.

After all, the two sides are not from the same ninja village.

In Nagato's heart, he had a great deal of resistance and wariness towards Kyouhiko.

Even now, it is still the same.

and so.

When Jing Yan explained everything, he didn't believe it, and even thought that Jing Yan was deceiving him and wanted to take his eyes away.

This is not uncommon.

No matter how kind Jingyan is, he is still a ninja of Konoha and needs to consider Konoha.

Nagato remained silent, revealing a hint of hidden hostility.

Jingyan knew that this was inevitable.

He was about to speak.

In the distance, a huge toad quickly jumped over here.

Bang!
With one jump, it landed on the open space in front.

Wen Tai lowered his body.

Above, Sennin Fukasaku and Sennin Shima quickly jumped down.

"Kyohiko, Nagato, the master has woken up, and I want you to come with me."

"what?"

Jingyan was just thinking about how to convince Nagato to go with him to Konoha for a full body check-up when he suddenly heard the news that the "big master" had woken up. He was a little confused for a moment.

Why is the old toad calling them?

Could it be that there is another prophecy?
Jing Yan pondered for a moment and nodded gently: "Let's go there first, and then we can talk in detail. If you don't trust us in Konoha, you can have a full body check in the Hidden Rain Village."

Nagato nodded slightly upon hearing this.

If it was the Hidden Rain Village, he could accept it.

after all--

In principle, he was willing to trust Jingyan's guesses and judgments.

Konoha's intelligence network is definitely more powerful than their Bird Village and Rain Village.

Besides, the other party rarely makes mistakes.

just.

No matter what, Nagato couldn't believe that the eyes he had awakened to that night could actually belong to someone else.

and.

He might even have the control spell from Madara on him.

Although it was just a guess, the mere thought made him feel suffocated.

If the truth is what Jingyan said, then...what is his life?
This was one of the reasons why Nagato resisted, and the second was the hatred between Konoha and him.

In short.

Nagato is currently in a very conflicted state.

Jingyan didn't want to break up with Nagato.

Currently, Konoha, Amegakure, and Sunagakure are cooperating closely, and the three parties have formed a community of interests. In the future, such a bond will only become stronger.

By then, "unification" will be achieved through a simple order without going through too many wars.

and so.

He needs to find an intermediate node between the two.

of course.

It really doesn't work...

It is also possible to act first and report later.

There was a sharp gleam in Jingyan's eyes.

He brought Nagato to Myoboku Mountain, the palace where the giant toad sage lived.

rear.

boom!
Bunta jumped and followed quickly.

Above, the sages Fukasaku and Shima jumped down and quickly entered the palace.

"Master, Jingyan and Nagato are here."

Fukasaku Sennin whispered.

The big toad above opened its eyes and looked at Jingyan and Nagato with difficulty.

Obviously.

It didn't sleep long enough, and now it's still a little tired and has difficulty speaking.

"I saw a darkness covering the ninja world."

"The terrible end has come!"

"The key lies in you two and Minato. I saw you fighting against a terrible enemy..."

As it spoke, its tone gradually became low.

The big toad immortal fell into deep sleep again.

Fukasaku Sennin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kyohiko and Nagato below, as well as Shima Sennin and Bunta not far away.

Although it was only a brief narration, it was obvious that the matter was serious!

Jingyan frowned.

He wasn't Jiraiya after all.

If Jiraiya heard this, he would definitely believe it, but he would doubt and think -

Is it possible that the big toad immortal was interpreting it blindly?

but.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to say this here.

The prophecy of the big toad immortal still represents something.

At least it proved that what he said was right, Madara was indeed very dangerous and was already on the path to resurrecting Kaguya.

This is conducive to your own interpretation direction.

The key to intelligence is how you use it!
He looked at Nagato.

"You also heard that Madara might lead to an apocalypse. Now, what's your answer?"

"It doesn't have to be Madara."

Nagato answered.

Jingyan sighed and said, "It seems that I can't convince you, but Myoboku Mountain is very dangerous now."

"Kyouhiko-chan, why do you say that Myoboku Mountain is dangerous now? Because of the prophecy?"

Fukasaku Immortal was puzzled.

Kyohiko thought for a moment and explained his doubts about the nine tailed beasts and the Rinnegan.

Shima Sennin was extremely shocked.

"So, you suspect Madara wants to obtain the Rinnegan, and then gather the tailed beasts again to gain the power of the Six Paths Sage?"

"Yes."

Jingyan nodded.

Shima Sennin couldn't believe it.

How crazy does one have to be to come up with such a plan?
The nine tailed beasts united as one...

How powerful is that?

No wonder the master woke up and predicted that the ninja world was facing an unprecedented disaster.

If Madara really completes the fusion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be the end of the world.

after all.

In that case, who could defeat Uchiha Madara?

No one can do it.

Including Jingyan.

Shenren Fukasaku was entangled and said, "But, destroying the Samsara Eye directly for this is too alarmist..."

If used properly, this can also be a powerful aid to them.

They obviously still believed in what the master said.

This is a difficult matter.

Kyohiko sighed.

However, the current situation was within his expectations.

Myobokusan is certain that both himself and Nagato may be the "Children of Prophecy", so how could he give up Nagato so easily?

If they were willing to sacrifice Nagato, they would not have allowed Nagato to practice fairy arts at Myoboku Mountain.

not to mention.

Nagato himself would not agree to sacrifice himself for no reason.

He was thinking about it.

Outside, Bunta suddenly disappears into Myoboku Mountain.

Before leaving, I left a sentence——

"Jiraiya is channeling me!"

Sennin Fukasaku and Sennin Shima looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

"Is little Jiraiya in danger?"

In the past, they wouldn't have been so worried.

After all, this was not the first time that Jiraiya had summoned Bunta.

Basically, Wentai can easily handle most battles.

But now.

The two of them were also frightened by what the master and Jingyan said, and thought that the end of the world was really around the corner.

next second.

Bang!
Fukasaku and Shima disappeared at the same time.

"The teacher is in danger!"

Nagato's pupils shrank.

He knew that Master Jiraiya would not easily summon the spirits of two immortals.

Now, even two immortals have been called upon. They must have encountered unimaginable dangers over there and must use the immortal mode.

but.

He had heard from Fukasaku that Jiraiya's Sage Mode had a huge flaw...

Nagato's face was solemn.

"Now is not the time to argue about that, we should be helping teachers."

“Maybe, they were just waiting for this moment.”

Jingyan frowned.

Nagato was stunned for a second, then said, "You mean, they want to force me out?"

"Yes, but it could also be a double-handed preparation. Who knows, that guy might have already followed us!"

Jingyan's face was gloomy.

Black Zetsu can possess any body and penetrate any hole.

The sudden awakening of the Great Toad Sage might be related to Black Zetsu.

that……

Now, Black Zetsu may have arrived at Myoboku Mountain!
Jingyan instantly formed seals with his hands, and the chakra in his body exploded, and two wooden clones carrying powerful chakra separated out.

In order to deal with unexpected events, he needed to make some special preparations to avoid being suddenly brought to Jiraiya by reverse summoning.

but.

Just at this moment.

A black shadow instantly appeared on Nagato's face.

follow closely--

boom!
A huge repulsive force suddenly emerged.

Even Jingyan couldn't keep his balance in the face of the Shinra Tensei that was beyond his limit, not to mention that there was the Giant Toad Sage in the palace at that moment.

The wooden clone he had just created instantly grabbed the Giant Toad Immortal and sent him flying with the Thunder God.

follow closely--

Bang!
He was knocked more than ten steps away by the repulsive force, but he quickly stood firm.

Black Zetsu was very surprised.

This level of repulsive force wasn't enough to make this guy retreat too far.

Do not!
Distance to Jingyan...

Meaningless!

He controlled his body instantly, bit his fingers, and formed seals with his hands.

This is his last chance!

boom!
A spiritual beast appears. (End of this chapter)
