Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 286 Immortal Mode Beyond the Three Holy Lands?
Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Hyuga Kumokawa lowered his eyelids, seemingly deep in thought.

"I just feel that my vision has become clearer, my range of perception has expanded a lot, and my control over chakra has become several times more refined."

He frowned anxiously, pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "But, apart from that, it seems, there's nothing else?"

"This..." Jiraiya was almost frantic, scratching his hair hard. "Haven't you mastered the power of these eyes yet?"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders, trying to get answers from the two knowledgeable immortals.

However, Fukasaku and Shima, who were on his shoulders, looked into Hyuga Kumokawa's eyes. Although they could feel the power contained within them, even they had never heard of such eyes before.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can actually evolve like the Sharingan?
and also……

Fukasaku's horizontal pupils stared at the mark on Hinata Kumokawa's face, a faint, unpredictable light flickering in his eyes.

He didn't know if the "child of prophecy" the old man was talking about was the human in front of him.

But regardless of who the "Child of Prophecy" is, Jiraiya should bear the responsibility and destiny of teaching the "Child of Prophecy," which is also a way for Mount Myōboku to continue its legacy.

But now...

"How did this human from the Hyuga clan master 'Sage Mode', which is outside the three major holy land systems?" Fukasaku pondered to himself.

It could sense the Sage Chakra within Hyuga Kumokawa's body, and it could also sense the affinity between the other party and the energy of nature.

Without a doubt, these are all characteristics of "Sage Mode".

However, Fukasaku was certain that he had never seen such a "sage mode" before, and this was definitely not the "sage mode" of the three holy lands.

Could it be...

"A Sage Body?" Fukasaku's white eyebrows furrowed as he stared intently at Hyuga Kumokawa. "A Sage Body like Hashirama Senju's?"

Is this human from the Hyuga clan truly the child of prophecy?

Just as Fukasaku's mind was in turmoil, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Bang!
From the ruins below, a muffled sound, not loud but unusually abrupt, suddenly came from the feet of Pain!
A figure burst forth from the ground without warning, having been lying in wait for a long time, and suddenly launched a deadly attack that had been waiting for a long time!
It was a shadow clone that Jiraiya had been hiding for a long time!

He used natural energy to conceal himself, which allowed him to evade Pain's perception and quietly infiltrate to such close range.

The timing and angle at which this shadow clone appeared were extremely tricky.

It was precisely at this moment, when Pain was fully focused on maintaining Planetary Devastation, his mind and chakra highly concentrated in the air, that he was most vulnerable to his own defenses.

"Otama Rasengan!"

The moment the shadow clone leaped out, a giant Rasengan that had been condensing for a long time instantly took shape and slammed down towards Pain's head!
"When?"

Pain's Rinnegan narrowed slightly, clearly showing that this completely unexpected attack had caused him a brief moment of surprise.

Was it hidden long before the original body appeared?

While he was thinking this, his reaction speed was very fast. Almost the instant the shadow clone burst out of the ground, his hand holding a black rod had already pierced through the shadow clone's chest!

puff!

The pitch-black rod passed right through his body without any obstruction!

However, just as the black rod pierced through the shadow clone, the giant Rasengan also struck Pain's head squarely.

boom! !

The Sage Chakra exploded instantly, and a terrifying shockwave swept wildly in all directions, clearing away the rubble and dust on the ground in an instant!
With a clear, teeth-grinding sound of bones shattering, Pain was sent flying backward completely out of control, crashing into a pile of broken walls in the distance!
Pain lay amidst the ruins, his limbs twisted and broken, his black robe with red clouds tattered and mangled.

His head was a complete mess, half of his cheek was smashed open. Jiraiya's shadow clone also turned into a cloud of white smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Success!?"

In the air, Jiraiya stared intently at Pain's "corpse," then suddenly looked up at Chibaku Tensei, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest!

If the caster is severely injured or even destroyed, the spell should be dispelled, right?
However, the glimmer of hope that had just appeared on the faces of Jiraiya and the Konoha people who were holding onto hope froze completely!

Because the enormous rock sphere in the sky, which had become so large that it blotted out the sun, did not collapse or stop operating as expected.

At this moment, it was still frantically devouring everything, and a huge, terrifying crater appeared on the ground of the entire Hidden Leaf Village, with the earth trembling as if it were howling in agony.

Countless houses, broken beams, shattered objects, and even entire trees uprooted were irresistibly thrown into the air.

Many Konoha ninjas who were unable to dodge or whose chakra was exhausted and unable to resist, as well as a large number of men, women, the elderly, and children who were completely powerless to resist the power of heaven and earth...

They were easily swept up like fallen leaves in a storm, emitting shrill screams and terrified cries, mixed with desperate howls, echoing heart-wrenchingly in the wind!

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"Lord Third Generation! Save us!!"

"Lord Jiraiya!!"

"mom!"

"Grab me! Grab me now!"

They waved their arms in vain, trying to grab onto something, but could only watch helplessly as they drifted further and further away from the ground, getting closer and closer to the ever-accumulating and expanding death!
Their gazes pierced through the chaotic smoke and dust, landing on the distant figures of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade—these were the lifelines they instinctively clung to!

However, their pleas and cries were quickly drowned out and covered by more boulders and building debris being sucked up!
Rumble!
Countless rocks relentlessly collided, squeezed, and piled up, abruptly silencing the desperate cries and pleas for help.

Instead, there was the chilling sound of bones cracking, and a faint whimper before being completely buried.

Blood flowed and dripped from the cracks, burying lives alive and becoming part of that giant stone sphere.

"how so?!"

Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others' expressions changed as they looked down at Pain's "corpse."

Suddenly, the neglected Hell Path Pain appeared beside the broken and twisted Deva Path Pain "corpse," his hands forming a hand seal, and a huge, ferocious head emerged behind him!

It is none other than Pain's "King of Hell" from the Hell Path!
The "King of Hell" opened its massive mouth, and a thick, purplish-black tongue emerged from it, snatching up the mangled "corpse" on the ground and dragging it into its own maw!
Kaka!

The "King of Hell" seemed to be chewing on something, and a clear and dense series of crisp sounds came from the depths of its giant mouth before it opened its mouth.

Jiraiya and the others could not see "Prison King," but they saw Pain's "corpse" suddenly disappear, and then Pain, completely unharmed, suddenly stepped out of thin air!

He was completely unharmed, not even his clothes were torn. He raised his Rinnegan and swept it over Jiraiya, who was in a daze.

His face was expressionless, only cold and indifferent, before he and Hell Path disappeared from the spot.

Clearly, this was not intended to give the Konoha ninjas a chance to attack the caster.

"Are you kidding me?" Kakashi's voice was hoarse. "It's another guy? Is that guy's ability resurrection?"

The last chance is gone.

Jiraiya could only turn his gaze away and look at the Chibaku Tensei in the sky.

Now, there's only one option left.
