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

Huge inertial force,

Even though Jiraiya tried his best to reduce it,

It kept falling and bouncing like a skipping stone, repeating this five or six times before finally regaining its balance.

Inside the passage,

The stone swords on the bodies of beings in the animal, human, and hungry ghost realms were removed one by one.

Even as corpses and puppets, they do not lose their fighting ability when their hearts are pierced or their organs are damaged; they are instantly revived with full health.

All six members of Pain's Paths have gathered.

They leaped out one by one through the holes in the wall that Jiraiya had smashed through.

They lined up in a row, some standing, some crouching on the rooftops outside.

Heaven declared in a majestic voice:

"Pain, the Six Paths, pays his respects."

this moment,

Even the two great immortal toads of Mount Myōboku, who had previously taken it very lightly, finally panicked.

"There are six people?"

"Look, the three we just killed are here too."

"Did the new psychic spawn revive them using some kind of magic?"

"A technique that can completely resurrect three dead people? How is that possible? Are these guys even human?"

The two immortals were speaking incoherently.

Jiraiya was no exception, and immediately asked in utter shock:

"Payne, who exactly are you?"

"Payne is the name for all six of us."

Jiraiya, still in a state of extreme shock, wanted to continue asking questions.

However, upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed that one of the Six Paths of Pain looked exactly like his former disciple.

"Why do all six of them have the Rinnegan?"

Wait... is that face... Yahiko?

What exactly happened? Wasn't Yahiko dead? And what about those eyes?

"Do you see a resemblance to Yahiko in me? No wonder you were my former teacher."

However, Yahiko was already dead; it was Pain standing here.

"I've had enough of that nonsense. Why do you have the Rinnegan?"

What... exactly is going on with you guys?

"We are Payne, we are God."

Jiraiya tried to get more information, but Nagato's voice remained as cold and indifferent as ever, as if it were devoid of any emotion.

As soon as the word "God" was uttered, all six Paths of Pain leaped down and swooped down towards Jiraiya.

Upon seeing this, Fukasaku was immediately horrified.

He quickly greeted them:

"Jiraiya, retreat immediately!"

Each of the six individuals possesses extraordinary abilities, and their strength is definitely above the Kage level.

Even with intelligence and at their peak, victory would not be easy.

Moreover, Jiraiya had already lost an arm, greatly reducing his strength.

Of the six opponents, only the abilities of two were known, indicating a complete mismatch in intelligence.

If this continues, the slightest mistake could lead to death.

However, Jiraiya, who came specifically to gather intelligence,

After discovering that the situation was more serious than expected, the urgency to find answers suddenly became even greater.

He rushed forward and started fighting with the group.

A moment later, after his attack was blocked by the Heavenly Dao, he angrily demanded:

"Yahiko, why do you have Nagato's eyes?"

Even if you knew this, you still couldn't defeat us.

Nagato grabbed Jiraiya's only remaining arm and flung him far away.

Beside them, the Asura Path seized the opportunity to fire dozens of missiles.

The violent explosion covered the entire wall, and even in Sage Mode, one could only barely dodge it.

"Kid, give up."

Shima's voice was filled with panic.

Even immortals are not immortal.

Six powerful individuals, each at least at the Kage level, joined forces, each with distinct abilities and skillful teamwork.

This situation is now beyond even her control.

However, Jiraiya's will remained unshaken in the slightest.

"We must find a weakness, even if it means mutual destruction."

Chapter 144 Shocking Discovery

Looking at Jiraiya's resolute expression in the video,

Many spectators from both ninja worlds immediately looked on with great concern.

Especially in the original ninja world, many people knew that he died in this battle.

His eyes were filled with tears.

Unlike ordinary deaths in battle,

Jiraiya clearly had opportunities to retreat this time, and more than one.

even,

Nagato was subtly holding back, not immediately unleashing a deadly attack.

Hopefully, the teacher will leave on his own and we won't force him to make that final decision.

Especially the sneak attack from the Asura Path just now,

To be approached to that extent by a powerhouse at least at the Kage level without any warning or preparation...

If they had attacked his vital points directly, Jiraiya would probably be dead by now.

However, he chose to speak first to warn the teacher before launching his attack, targeting only the teacher's arm.

The implication was so obvious.

However, faced with the choice between life and death, Jiraiya did not hesitate to choose the path of death.

Life is certainly important.

But for some people, there are things more important than life itself.

Ideals, beliefs, things to be protected, and the path to be followed.

Someone suddenly remembered the comparison video of Tsunade from before.

A conversation between Uehara Shinmei and another Jiraiya.

"The so-called enemies you mentioned are nothing more than ordinary enemies who threaten our lives."

The truly terrifying enemy is the enemy of faith, the enemy of obsession, the enemy of ideals, and the enemy of the path one must take and practice.

When a person possesses lofty beliefs, great thoughts, unwavering will, a determination to die for their cause, and a dream they are willing to pursue even at the cost of everything, then they are truly capable of achieving their goals.

Such beings are indomitable and tenacious, and would never regret their actions even if they were to die ten thousand times.

Do you remember the Valley of the End?

Two such people, if they walk in opposite directions, are the most formidable enemies.

Essentially, Jiraiya and Nagato wanted to do the same thing.

They were all burdened by the heavy pain inflicted by this world, which gave rise to similar ideals and goals.

However, the methods used to achieve this are different, and the paths taken are opposite.

They could only fight to the death.

Nagato's decision to let the enemy go was wishful thinking, and Jiraiya's attempts to persuade and salvage the situation were also just wishful thinking.

At this moment, they had both come to understand each other's unwavering commitment and resolute will.

Faced with this situation, we all made the same decision and realized the same thing.

……

While Jiraiya was desperately dodging the Asura Path's missiles...

The Heavenly Path, created from Yahiko's corpse, has made its first move.

He used gravity to forcibly tear apart the wall where Jiraiya was, and then dragged the largest piece of earth and stone to smash it down on Jiraiya.

Amidst the towering waves, Jiraiya seized the opportunity to dive underwater and summon the gourd toad.

The gourd toad, as its name suggests, is shaped like a gourd, with its mouth plugged by a bottle stopper.

It has a barrier space inside its body called the Toad Ladle Prison.

It allows psychics to enter and hide inside, making them undetectable to the outside world, even for Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan.
