Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 268 Jiraiya's Choice
"Teacher Jiraiya, long time no see."

After defeating one of Konan's paper clones, Jiraiya finally met the person he wanted to see.

In front of a tall tower, a man sat on a strange statue.

The statue was like a god, sticking out its tongue, and the man was sitting on the tongue, looking down at him with an indifferent expression.

He wore a black robe with red clouds, had orange hair, eyes with lavender ripples, and his face was covered with black ornaments.

Pain's Six Paths: Heaven's Path.

Considering that the Konoha team has already invaded the Hidden Rain Village, and the front-line troops of the Rain Country have already fought with the Hidden Sand Village, Pain has no plans to talk more with Jiraiya.

Directly choose the strongest of Pain's Six Paths, Deva, to fight Jiraiya.

Of course, if Jiraiya was willing to take the Konoha team and leave the Hidden Rain Village, then Pain would not stop him.

After all, after dealing with things here, he still has to go to the Storm Battlefield to deal with the invading enemies from the Sand Village.

And the Kirigakure troops are about to arrive in the Rain Country.

So, Payne is a bit busy.

"Nagato!"

"No, that's not right, you're not Nagato!"

"You're Yahiko!"

"Why, why did Nagato's Rinnegan appear on your body!"

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, Jiraiya's expression became extremely solemn.

He thought of the prophecy of the big toad immortal.

He would travel around the world and become a novelist, then he would meet the Son of Prophecy and take him as his apprentice.

In this process, he will face a major choice concerning the survival of the ninja world.

Although Sakura had denied it, Nagato was not the disciple she had taken in when she traveled around the world.

but……

If the holder of the Rinnegan is not qualified to become the Child of Prophecy, then who else is qualified?

As the current Fifth Hokage, Sakura is qualified.

Jiraiya subconsciously thought of the familiar pink figure.

But the other party was not his disciple.

Although Jiraiya thought about asking the other party to become his disciple, he was kicked out of the Hokage Building by the pink-haired boy.

Just let it go.

"Teacher Jiraiya, it doesn't matter whether I am Yahiko or Nagato."

"Now I have a new name."

"You can call me, Payne."

"If you leave now, I can let you go."

Pein looked at Jiraiya in front of him with indifference on his face.

"Yes, these are not important."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and looked closely at Pein not far ahead.

"I don't care if you are Yahiko or Nagato, but do you know what you are doing?"

"Provoking a war without authorization!"

"Capture the Kazekage and the Mizukage!"

"Nagato, you are someone who has been affected by the war!"

"You should know the pain better than anyone else!"

"Why!"

"Why are you doing this!"

Jiraiya shouted loudly, excited and unwilling.

He wanted to stop the dangerous behavior of this son of prophecy.

"pain?"

Upon hearing this, Pain did not say anything about the Nagato mentioned by Jiraiya, and acknowledged that he was the Nagato mentioned by the other party.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I originally believed in your philosophy."

“People can understand each other.”

"At that time, my heart was burning and full of hope."

"Yahiko is constantly working hard because of you, Jiraiya-sensei."

"He wants to change the world for the better."

"but."

"he died."

"He died due to conspiracy."

Pain's words made Jiraiya purse his lips. He clenched his fists tightly and thought of the boy in his memory who always had beautiful hope for the future.

"Who killed him?"

Jiraiya spoke like this.

"Hanzo of the Salamander, Danzo of Shimura."

Two names came out of Payne's mouth.

This made Jiraiya's expression change slightly.

Why is it Danzo again?

It’s okay for Hanzo of the Salamander, after all, the Hidden Rain Village is nominally his territory.

But what does this have to do with Danzo Shimura?

"I see. The Salamander Hanzo from the previous ninja alliance is your man."

I had always felt something was wrong with the Salamander Hanzo, and now it seemed that with Nagato's current personality, that demigod of the ninja world might have died long ago.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

"I don't want to kill you."

"Go away. I can pretend I didn't see you today."

Pein did not deny Jiraiya's words.

"Nagato."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and let the heavy rain fall on him.

"You are the child of prophecy that I believe."

"As your teacher, I have the power to pull you back on track when you go astray."

Jiraiya's eyes were firm and calm, as if he was telling a very ordinary fact.

"Child of prophecy?"

There was a hint of surprise in Payne's eyes.

He had never heard such a statement from Jiraiya before.

But it doesn't matter.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

"You made a mistake."

“It was wrong from the beginning.”

"I am, God."

Payne slowly stood up from the statue, his eyes cold as he told a fact that was true to him.

"god?"

“The world doesn’t need God.”

Jiraiya shook his head, denying Pein's statement.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I'll say this one last time."

"Let's go back."

"I don't want to kill you."

Payne spoke again, for the third time.

Things can happen once or twice, but not three times.

This was the limit of what Payne could endure.

"You mean you can kill me at any time?"

Jiraiya looked at the man in front of him with a serious look.

He had made up his mind to deal with the other party right here.

A ninja's life is not determined by how he survives, but by what he does before he dies.

Jiraiya's eyes were determined, and he formed seals with both hands:

"Psychic art!"

His life was full of failures, he was always rejected by Tsunade and failed to stop his best friend from leaving.

He couldn't even protect his disciples. Compared with the achievements of previous Hokages.

His life is full of failure.

What we do every day is boring.

but……

Even if you fail, you must move forward and walk on the road called courage!
And here it is!

Facing his apprentice, his son of prophecy.

Jiraiya decided to stop him.

Jiraiya believes that this is the moment in the prophecy where he faces a major choice!
Huge white smoke rose up, and a huge monster several dozen meters high appeared in front of Payne!

One of the three gangsters of Myoboku Mountain, Gamaken!

Payne looked calmly at the huge monster in front of him, unmoved.

A sigh flashed across those calm eyes of Samsara.

In that case...

"Toad Jian, buy me some time. I want to summon two great immortals!"

Jiraiya quickly smeared the blood in his hand on his face, preparing to summon Fukasaku and Shima from Myoboku Mountain to fight.

The opponent has the Rinnegan and is an absolute master.

He must give his 100% strength!

"Um... Jiraiya, the two great sages have something to do today and may not be able to come."

Jiraiya's face froze at Gamaken's words.

what's the situation?
The two great immortals who usually spend their days idle in Myoboku Mountain are unable to come at this moment?

"I don't know the details, but it seems like he went to look for someone in the prophecy."

Toad Jian scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly.

!!!

what!
Jiraiya's eyes suddenly narrowed at this moment, and he remembered the latest prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

Jiraiya identified the pink figure in the prophecy as Sakura, the current Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

However, Sakura and the Great Toad Sage's meeting ended in a bad mood.

The Great Toad Sage asked her to bring Sakura's sister, Haruno Mirai, to see him.

Although he agreed verbally, he did not take any action.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Big Toad Immortal actually asked the two immortals to personally look for the future who was no more than three years old!
If Sakura knew this...

With the other party's temper, I'm afraid he's going to turn Myoboku Mountain upside down!

Do not!
Sakura will definitely know afterwards!
It will definitely be liquidated!

and……

A sense of pain rose in Jiraiya's heart.

Why is this so!

Why is it so? !
This not only represents the consequence of the Big Toad Immortal asking the two immortals to find the future, but also represents one thing!
I am being monitored.

Being monitored by Myobokusan.

Jiraiya was in great pain.

He has already regarded Myoboku Mountain as his second home.

why why.

Am I so untrustworthy?
He only showed a hint of hesitation when facing the question from the Great Toad Immortal...

"It seems that your unexpectedness is still quite high as before, teacher."

Pain looked calmly at Jiraiya, whose face was frozen, and knew that the other party had some trump card that he couldn't use at the moment.

"Nagato."

Jiraiya silently put down his hand; the magic technique could no longer be used.

But even so...

You only get one chance.

Jiraiya would never be willing to give up just like that.

But when he thought of Sakura's sister, the little girl who was only three years old, and Sakura herself, Jiraiya felt it necessary to return to Konoha immediately to stop the two immortals from seeking death.

Jiraiya now has the urge to run away.

However, Pain had asked Jiraiya to leave three times before, and he did not say anything at this moment.

In his opinion, even though Jiraiya is prone to unexpected events, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily.

So, Pain has already pointed his palm at Jiraiya who is on Gamaken's head.

"All things are guided by heaven."

Calm words came out of Payne's mouth.

At this moment, Jiraiya's figure flew towards Pain at a high speed uncontrollably!
"what!"

Faced with such a sudden change, Jiraiya's mind changed. Just as he was about to make a counterattack, Gamaken swung the huge harpoon in his hand and smashed it straight at Pain!
A giant harpoon that is tens of meters long can cause quite terrifying destructive power when swung at will. This is why all ninjas in the ninja world are so keen on the huge summoning beasts.

but……

A huge body is of no use to a being of Pain's level.

On the contrary, because his body was so huge, Pain could inflict heavy damage on his opponent even with his eyes closed.

Payne stretched out another hand and aimed it at the Toad Warrior.

"Shenra Tianzheng."

The invisible force was released to the surroundings with Pain as the center.

In just a moment, Jiraiya and the Toad Warrior he summoned flew backwards!

And Toad Jian crashed heavily into a tall steel tower!

If the steel tower was not made entirely of fine steel, this strike would have probably destroyed many buildings.

But even so, the steel tower was hit and was on the verge of collapse.

"What kind of technique is that?"

Jiraiya was also within the attack range of Shinra Tensei, and because of the previous attack of Banko Tenin, the injuries he suffered were far more serious than those of Gamaken.

At this moment, Jiraiya felt that all of his internal organs had shifted a little.

"I don't know."

Toad Jian panted and climbed up again, trying to grab the harpoon that fell to the ground.

However, the huge harpoon that was supposed to fall to the ground suddenly moved and flew at a high speed above Payne.

Jiraiya also noticed this scene, and his eyes were fixed on Pain.

And Payne used the All-Seeing Attraction with one hand to control the harpoon and smashed it heavily towards Gamaken!

Is it some kind of technique to manipulate objects?

And it looks like it's quite powerful.

Jiraiya stared closely at the huge harpoon flying towards Gamaken and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Having just experienced the Wanxiang Tianyin personally, I have a pretty accurate analysis of the situation when faced with it again.

Seeing that the huge harpoon was about to hit Toad Jian heavily, Toad Jian quickly took out the shield behind him which was like a giant bowl and blocked the attack of the harpoon!

However, Payne still had an indifferent expression. He used the Wanxiang Tianyin to control the harpoon with one hand, and then suddenly clenched it. The shaky steel building that had just been hit by Toad Jian was actually pulled up by the roots and flew high into the sky!

This scene made Jiraiya's mind slightly confused.

Where is the limit of this technique?
It's actually possible to achieve this level!

"Sensei Jiraiya, feel the pain."

Pain looked at Jiraiya indifferently. As Jiraiya's disciple, he naturally knew what significance the toad from Mount Myoboku held to Jiraiya.

Killing the toads of Myoboku Mountain here is the best way to make Jiraiya feel pain.

Just like a god stretching out his fingers to manipulate everything in the world, the steel tower controlled by Pain smashed down heavily towards Gamaken!

The high tower made of fine steel, with the blessing of Wanxiang Tianyin, is enough to make 99% of the ninjas in the ninja world unable to withstand it with just one blow!
"Toadjian!"

Jiraiya was extremely anxious when he saw this.

Quickly form seals with both hands!
"The art of summoning spirits: the art of crushing the toad across the board!"

Another summoning technique was used, and a huge green-skinned toad fell from the sky and smashed towards Pain who was controlling the steel tower.

However, Payne just looked up calmly.

The Wanxiang Tianyin in his hand still did not stop.

Five seconds have passed.

"Shenra Tianzheng."

The invisible force erupted again, and Toad Ken, who was calm and composed with his hands on his chest, was repelled by an invisible force and his huge body flew backwards out of the Hidden Rain Village!

At this moment, the steel tower fell...

Blood stained Jiraiya's vision...
