Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Xiao Nan coldly stared at her former teacher.

Even though his heart was not at peace, he remained unmoved on the surface.

At this moment,

The two had already silently completed a psychological battle, and both understood the other's resolute and unwavering will.

The battle commenced in an instant.

Do you think this will turn you into an angel?

Jiraiya's face was filled with anger.

"This is God's command, and I have no choice but to kill you."

Xiao Nan was equally unwilling to be outdone.

Although there was no direct answer, the implied meaning and implications were crystal clear.

In this hopeless world, in this country where all we do is weep.

Whether something is right or wrong is no longer important to her.

All she needed, and all the Land of Rain needed, was a path to walk on.

Countless paper shurikens swarmed forward, colliding violently with the scorching flames in an instant.

A huge plume of smoke immediately erupted from the scene.

After the battle ended in a draw, Jiraiya used a strategy of retreat to advance, dispelling the flames and dodging the paper shuriken using only his Body Flicker Technique.

A toad-shaped oil bomb was sprayed accurately at Xiao Nan.

The Toad Oil Bullet is not a complete ninjutsu; it is only one component of the Toad Oil Flame Bullet technique.

However, after confirming that Konan's Paper Release already possesses fire resistance, it would be wiser not to add flames.

However, he soon discovered that,

Konan's Paper Release technique is not only able to resist fire attributes, but it can also no longer be soaked or damaged by water attributes.

Having no other choice, he used his hair-stripping ninjutsu to seize the opportunity and bind Konan to the spot.

Attempting to use words to deceive:

"You, who love origami, are the gentlest of all the children."

They attacked me without even warning; it's truly chilling.

I taught you how to survive in chaotic times; without a doubt, you are my disciples.

When Jiraiya said this...

Xiao Nan's voice was noticeably lower, revealing a rare hint of sadness.

But his expression remained resolute, and his determination did not waver.

"It's too late."

We have already begun to act according to his will and ideas.

"Xiao's actions were wrong."

Jiraiya angrily rebuked the disciple, attempting to bring him back to the right path.

However, at this time, the Six Paths of Pain also began to arrive.

The animal path continued in response:

"That's the answer we arrived at ourselves, Jiraiya-sensei."

Hearing a strange ninja address him as "teacher"

Jiraiya looked up in surprise, only to see a pair of eyes he had never expected.

What was in the other person's eye sockets was none other than the Rinnegan that Nagato once possessed.

A surge of immense doubt and anger welled up within Jiraiya at the same time.

"What did you do to Nagato?"

however,

The other party, however, did not seem to be in the mood to answer the question.

He put his hands together and summoned a giant crab.

The spirit communication techniques used by the Animal Realm are quite peculiar.

It requires no blood as a medium, and even the commanding rune array can appear anywhere, not just under one's feet.

The crab appeared in mid-air and immediately sprayed out a large amount of foam, washing away the oil stains on Xiao Nan's body.

This also forced Jiraiya to retract his hair in order to deal with the crabs hiding in the bubbles and trying to launch an attack.

Shortly after,

After he finished preparing this crab, which wasn't even an appetizer,

The Rinnegan standing opposite had now multiplied into three pairs.

"All three of them have the Rinnegan?"

In an instant, Jiraiya's doubts multiplied.

But it also confirmed another thing: Nagato must still be alive.

As for these, they might be his clones.

At that time, it was confirmed that Konan and Nagato were safe.

Jiraiya's complexion also improved considerably.

His voice, no longer filled with anger, asked calmly:

"Nagato, I want to ask you a few questions. How is Yahiko?"

Chapter 134 Nagato's Peace Declaration Brings Pain to the World

"Nagato, I have a few questions for you. How is Yahiko?"

Jiraiya stared intently at the three avatars of Pain, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Of the former trio,

Xiao Nan is the strategist; she can only offer advice or provide assistance.

Nagato represents the spearhead and power, but in another sense, he can also be seen as a henchman.

Only Yahiko possesses the potential to become a leader.

Because his faith, his will, and his ideals were all incredibly clear and unwavering.

Ideas are the guiding light.

Without ideological guidance, excessive action can lead to detours or even astray.

The Akatsuki organization is now on the wrong path.

Jiraiya secretly hoped that if Yahiko were still alive, he might be able to change the mindset of the Akatsuki.

Given the relationship between the three of them, if Yahiko can be persuaded, the other two will surely follow suit.

However, faced with his hopes,

Nagato, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned.

"Yes, there was indeed such a person."

But that kind of guy is probably dead by now, who knows.

"Nagato...you..."

Looking at that indifferent expression, those cold eyes that showed no emotion whatsoever.

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At that moment, an air bubble suddenly appeared above Jiraiya's head on the scroll.

He revealed the memories in his mind to everyone.

In the pouring rain.

Even as a child, Nagato, who was very thin and frail, looked at Jiraiya with a determined expression and said:

"I just want to protect the two of them, no matter how much pain I have to endure."

The determination at that time

The indifference at this moment

The stark contrast was instantly created, the difference was incredibly striking.

Jiraiya asked in shock:

"In the end what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just went through some battles. Too many people died here. It was that kind of pain that forced me to grow up."

"What do you mean?"

Even the most ignorant and foolish child grows up by experiencing pain; both his words and thoughts will grow along with it.

"So you think that abandoning your feelings for your friends means you've grown up?"

“Teacher, you are still just an ordinary person, but I have grown to a higher level in the process of experiencing endless pain.”

That's right, I transformed from a human into a god.

God sees things that were unseen when He was still human, and He can do things that humans cannot do.

For example, to bring an end to this war-torn world.

Nagato's voice remained as indifferent as ever.

There was no grief, no anger, not even a hint of emotion; it was as if he were stating something utterly ordinary.
