Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"The Godaime."

Jiraiya remained silent for a long while before speaking again.

"I want to go to Amegakure to gather information about the Akatsuki organization."

Regardless of whether that "Pain" is Nagato, Yahiko, or Yahiko controlled by Nagato.

Whenever Jiraiya went to Amegakure, he was always able to dig out information about them!

Gen Uchiha looked at Jiraiya with a strange expression.

isn't it...

Are you going to send it again?

Chapter 211 People are coming! Take Jiraiya to prison!

What will happen to Jiraiya when he goes to Amegakure to investigate Pain?

In short—

The frog at the bottom of the well will perish in the sea.

Although Uchiha Gen didn't know how the Land of Rain, an inland country, was able to possess the sea.

But he was certain of one thing.

Jiraiya went to Amegakure.

That's absolutely throwing good money after bad.

There was no return.

"unnecessary."

Gen Uchiha shook his head, directly rejecting Jiraiya's request for an intelligence gathering mission.

If Jiraiya hadn't revealed what happened to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

Then Uchiha Gen wouldn't have been so decisive in stopping the other party's actions.

But since Jiraiya has already spoken about the matter concerning Nagato and the others, he has taken the initiative to show his stance.

So, Uchiha Gen, who was the Fifth Hokage, naturally couldn't just stand by and watch this top fighter from his own village go to Amegakure to die in vain!

That's right.

In Uchiha Gen's mind, he believed that Jiraiya's trip to Amegakure was just a pointless death!

no doubt.

Jiraiya was no match for Pain.

Judging from the ability mechanics demonstrated by the Six Paths of Pain.

Unless it's a standard mechanic monster.

Otherwise.

There is absolutely no way to defeat this "Kami (God)" who possesses the [Rinnegan].

Especially for "traditional ninjas" like Jiraiya, it would be even less likely that they could defeat Pain.

What is a "traditional ninja"?

They are ninjas who primarily fight using ninjutsu!

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi still has a Monkey King and a big club to support his physical combat system.

Even Orochimaru possessed an incredibly sharp Kusanagi sword.

Jiraiya's "output" relied almost entirely on ninjutsu.

As is widely known.

All conventional types of ninjutsu are ineffective against the Rinnegan.

This is also the fundamental reason why Gen Uchiha believed that Jiraiya could not defeat Pain.

Even when Jiraiya enters [Sage Mode], and summons two sages (Fukasaku and Shima) to assist in the battle, he enters a [Sage Mode] with long-lasting power.

Gen Uchiha also did not believe that Jiraiya could defeat Pain.

The Sage Mode created by Mount Myōboku is indeed not within the range of the Rinnegan's ability to counter it.

Even when the Hungry Ghost Path (Pain's clone with the ability to absorb chakra) absorbs Sage Chakra, it causes itself to mutate.

But Pain isn't just limited to the Hungry Ghost Realm!

The real "Kami" is the Six Paths of Pain, not just the Deva Path of Pain.

Jiraiya might be able to defeat several Pain.

However, if all six Paths of Pain attacked at once, Jiraiya would almost certainly face certain death.

It's even a certain death sentence!

In comparison.

Gen Uchiha, on the other hand, felt that Minato Namikaze, who was standing to the side, had a higher chance of winning against Pain.

Leaving aside the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Everything that Jiraiya could do, Minato Namikaze could do almost all of.

From this perspective, Eternal Sister is also a "traditional ninja".

However, once Minato Namikaze uses the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Then he's a true mechanics freak!

Pain of the Six Paths is indeed very strong.

However, Minato Namikaze's "mechanics" are superior to those of Pain.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is still too powerful.

Space-time ninjutsu is still too powerful...

But then again.

It's impossible for Gen Uchiha to send Minato Namikaze to Amegakure to gather intelligence.

Why would he need to gather additional intelligence on Payne's abilities?

Aside from the color of the underwear.

What aspect of Pain's ability mechanism could possibly be hidden from Gen Uchiha?

Jiraiya frowned, thinking that the young Hokage did not believe him, one of the Sannin of the old era.

"Fifth Hokage, don't underestimate my intelligence-gathering abilities..."

"It's not that we're underestimating it, it's that we really don't need it."

Gen Uchiha looked at Jiraiya and explained earnestly.

"Lord Jiraiya, you must have heard about my upcoming 'Five Kage Summit', right?"

I've heard a little about it.

Jiraiya nodded.

"Then you should know why I convened the Five Shadows Summit, right?"

"...It seems to be because of the Tailed Beasts."

"To be precise, it's because the Akatsuki are capturing the Tailed Beasts."

Really? I don't believe it...

Jiraiya's words had just reached his lips when he swallowed them back down.

In terms of the number of tailed beasts collected, how many did the Akatsuki collect compared to the Fifth Hokage?

The seven tailed beasts distributed by the First Hokage.

The fifth generation has already captured five!

The Akatsuki organization only managed to capture one of the Seven-Tails!

That so-called "Five Shadows Summit".

This is practically the stage where you, Fifth Hokage, declare your identity as the "God of Shinobi in the New Era" to the ninja world.

Gen Uchiha, unaware of Jiraiya's complex inner thoughts, continued.

"The Akatsuki's actions have threatened the safety of all the ninja villages."

"Take Takigakure for example, this small ninja village that once possessed the Seven-Tails has disappeared into history."

"Therefore, I will invite the Kage of the other four major villages to convene a meeting of the Five Kage."

"The main topic of this Five Kage Summit is how to deal with the Akatsuki!"

When Uchiha Gen got to this point, he further elaborated on his plan.

"After the Five Kage Summit, I will personally go to Amegakure and wipe out the Akatsuki."

Because the Fifth Hokage will personally take action.

Therefore, Jiraiya did not need to gather intelligence in advance.

Jiraiya's brow twitched slightly as he looked at the confident Fifth Hokage, a hint of hesitation in his heart.

Is it really a good idea to infiltrate Amegakure alone without intelligence support?

Jiraiya didn't mind venturing into Amegakure alone.

Because he was used to doing intelligence gathering work.

However, the Fifth Hokage was still too young.
