Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 743 A final lesson learned at the cost of one's life!
"Is this the bond between the three legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

Judging from my womanly intuition, if Jiraiya manages to return alive this time, he'll probably win the heart of his beloved.

Hearing Mei Terumi mutter softly beside him, Seiya watched Jiraiya's departing figure and silently mourned for him for a few more seconds.

With the flags of two lifelong single female ninjas in Naruto hanging over his shoulders, Jiraiya probably has no chance of survival this time...

"What's with that strange look on your face? Don't you trust my intuition about women?"

Seeing Seiya's complicated expression, Terumi Mei thought that Seiya didn't trust her intuition as a woman.

"No, no, no, your intuition is definitely correct. It's just that if I ever have to fight someone to the death in the future, please don't say anything strange to me."

"What strange things are you saying?"

"It's phrases like 'We'll get married when you come back' or 'As long as I come back alive, I'll XXXX'."

Mei Terumi: "(*｀へ*), Seiya, what do you mean by this bastard?"
These aren't some strange or unusual words; they're clearly beautiful vows and blessings!

Seiya: "(_;) In short, if you don't want to be a widow in the future, then stop saying these things."

To be fair, after Seiya revealed all of Pain's Six Paths' abilities and weaknesses, Jiraiya in Sage Mode should have a much higher chance of winning than in the original storyline, and it's not impossible for him to come back alive.

However, as everyone knows, Tsunade's promises and flags are a deadly curse in the Naruto world.

From Nawaki to Kato Dan, and then to Jiraiya, players whose fates aren't strong enough really can't withstand the added debuffs.

A mind that transcends the alphabet is something to aspire to, but not everyone can grasp it.

No one present knew exactly how far Jiraiya and Pain fought, because when they left Konoha, they had already shaken off the pursuing Anbu ninjas.

However, just as Seiya and Mei Terumi were assisting Konoha in rescuing the wounded and digging all the dead out of the ruins, streaks of green light streaked across the sky like shooting stars.

When a green glow, like fireflies, enveloped the entire village of Konoha, the ninjas and villagers who should have been lifeless miraculously revived under its light.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village also shook off its previous state of despondency and instead fell into a jubilant atmosphere.

A village can be rebuilt if it's gone, as long as the people are still alive.

Although the scene before them was extremely unbelievable, the Konoha ninja present were undoubtedly overjoyed to see their deceased relatives and friends come back to life.

Seeing the Konoha ninjas and villagers miraculously revived, Tsunade, who was already exhausted, should have been happy about it.

But for some reason, just a moment ago, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and as if sensing something, he looked in a certain direction and murmured absentmindedly, "Jiraiya..."

Seeing the large number of dead in Konoha come back to life, Mei Terumi looked at Seiya beside her with a surprised expression.

Mei Terumi had only ever seen the technique of resurrecting the dead on Seiya so far, and now that a large number of dead Konoha ninjas had been resurrected, Mei Terumi's first instinct was to guess that this was Seiya's doing.

"The Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique is a forbidden technique that uses one's own life and chakra as a price to revive the dead."

"The one who used this forbidden technique to revive these Konoha ninjas was Nagato, the one who previously possessed the Rinnegan." Seiya didn't suppress his voice, so when they heard what he said, not only Mei Terumi but also the other Konoha ninjas looked at him in surprise.

"But wasn't Nagato the leader of Akatsuki? Why would he sacrifice his own life to revive himself...?"

Mei Terumi was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate. But clearly, not only her, but everyone else present was also wondering why she had done this.

"In the battle between Jiraiya and Nagato, Jiraiya should have narrowly won."

However, Jiraiya ultimately chose to pay the price with his life, which made Nagato realize his mistake.

Repentance and remorse over this led Nagato to ultimately choose to use the "Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique" to atone for everything he had done.

Choosing to sacrifice his life to awaken his disciple's true nature was a teacher's way of fulfilling his duty to his student. Nagato, on the other hand, used his life to revive the dead, which was his way of fulfilling his duty to Konoha on behalf of his mentor…

After Seiya's words, everyone present fell silent, and they realized that they had not been resurrected for no reason, but that everything had been exchanged for by the man Jiraiya with his own life.

"Where did they fight?"

Upon hearing the news of Jiraiya's death, Tsunade was visibly agitated. She even grabbed Seiya by the collar and asked him where Jiraiya and Nagato had fought their final battle.

Previously, with Jiraiya and Nagato's strength, everyone else in Konoha who tried to follow them were easily left behind, but Seiya's clone was clearly not among them.

Seiya watched almost the entire battle between Jiraiya and Nagato, and when Jiraiya made his final decision, Seiya did not intervene.

This was a choice made by the hero Jiraiya himself, so he respected the other party's decision and had no right to interfere.

Just like how Konan, despite seeing Nagato as everything, ultimately respected his choice and did not stop him from using the Rinne Rebirth technique.

"The battle is over, and there's no point in going now. Konan has taken away the bodies of Nagato, Yahiko, and Jiraiya."

Before leaving, Konan told me the location of the Gedo Mazo and said that it would take some time for the Gedo Mazo to extract the tailed beast's chakra.

Jiraiya's last words were that Naruto was the true "Child of Prophecy," and that he had staked everything on his future.

Nagato ultimately chose to use the Rinne Rebirth technique because he trusted Jiraiya's words, thus placing all his hopes on Naruto.

After learning that Jiraiya's last wish was to rescue Naruto, Tsunade understood that now was not the time to be sad or sentimental, so she immediately prepared to assemble an elite team to go to Amegakure to rescue Naruto.

At the same moment, Gaara and the others who arrived in Konoha from Sunagakure were also shocked when they saw the devastation in Konoha.

Especially when he learned that his best friend Naruto had been kidnapped by the Akatsuki, the Calabash Brothers were furious and even disregarded their status as Kazekage, intending to join the rescue operation.

When he was kidnapped by the Akatsuki, Konoha provided strong support. Now that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha has been kidnapped, the Sand Village will naturally not stand idly by!

After some discussion, the rescue team was formed by elite ninjas from three villages: Seiya, Kakashi, Might Guy, Hinata, and Temari, and went to the rescue.

Mei Terumi, Tsunade, and Gaara will jointly invite Kumogakure and Iwagakure to hold a Five Kage Summit!
