Born with a great love for the Uchiha

Konan's heart was pierced by the [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi].

They definitely wouldn't survive.

But it wouldn't necessarily lead to immediate death.

Nagato died on the spot.

He was vertically cut in two by the space that was "opened".

Let alone ninjas.

Even an earthworm would die if cut vertically like that!

The moment Nagato split in two, his consciousness vanished, and his soul returned to heaven.

"Ho ho-"

Xiao Nan reached out and covered her chest, and bright red blood kept seeping from between her fingers, staining her clothes red.

She could feel the strength slowly draining from her body.

Jiraiya moved closer to Konan, wanting to reach out and support his disciple, but he was afraid that his movements would be too forceful and worsen Konan's injuries.

This moment.

Jiraiya deeply regretted that his medical ninjutsu skills were too low.

But he also knew.

Even if Tsunade were here, she couldn't save Konan, whose heart had been pierced.

“Nagato…Yahiko…”

Xiao Nan murmured to herself, her voice extremely faint.

Even Jiraiya, who was right next to her, couldn't hear what she was saying.

next moment.

Xiao Nan collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

On her deathbed, she was still thinking of her two close friends from the Akatsuki organization.

"Xiao Nan!"

Jiraiya's expression grew even more sorrowful.

Gen Uchiha withdrew his gaze and then looked at Nagato's corpse beside him.

Although the Space Slash cut Nagato's body in half.

However, thanks to Gen Uchiha's precise manipulation, Nagato's eyes were not damaged.

Gen Uchiha bent down, extended his right hand, and reached into Nagato's eye socket.

puff-

Two strange sounds rang out.

Instantly, a pair of deep purple onion eyes stained with blood appeared in Uchiha Gen's hands.

The Rinnegan is mine!

The "Great Love" skill was activated simultaneously, rapidly analyzing the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

Gen Uchiha took out a special container from his ninja tool bag and filled it with the Rinnegan.

He then looked at Jiraiya and said in a calm tone.

"Lord Jiraiya, there's no need to be so sad."

"Death is not the end for a ninja."

Chapter 273 Killing someone first, then reviving them? Never before has a Kage been so devoted to ninja tradition!

Logically speaking...

A ninja who has seen death many times should not be so emotional about the passing of a loved one.

Especially mature men like Jiraiya who are experienced and knowledgeable.

It was like the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

Minato Namikaze, though a step too late, managed to save Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara from being surrounded by Iwagakure ninjas. However, he ultimately missed Obito Uchiha.

At the time, Minato Namikaze remained remarkably calm upon hearing the news of Obito Uchiha's "death."

It was as if the death of a disciple had no effect on him whatsoever.

This is what a ninja is like.

But how should I put it...

"Received news of the death afterward" and "witnessed the student's tragic death on the spot".

The impact of these two situations on the parties involved is worlds apart!

Jiraiya belongs to the latter category.

Although the time he spent teaching Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan was not very long.

Even since their parting in the Land of Rain years ago, he has only now met Yahiko and the other two again.

But he had just witnessed firsthand the entire process of Uchiha Gen killing three students!

Despite standing on Konoha's side.

Nagato and Konan, the two leaders and members of the Akatsuki organization, truly deserved to die.

The leader of a rogue ninja organization who dared to attack the Five Kage Summit, should we not kill him, or should we keep him around for the New Year?

But none of this affected Jiraiya's current emotional state, which was filled with sadness.

The Fifth Hokage was kind-hearted and understanding of the old widower, which is why he offered words of comfort.

But what Uchiha Gen said is also true.

Death is indeed not the end for a ninja.

'That's easy to say! It wasn't your student who died!'

Jiraiya was still immersed in sadness, and he almost blurted out those words.

But as soon as he was about to speak, the little toad sage's rationality kicked in and successfully overcame his emotional impulses.

Blaming the Fifth Hokage for upholding justice because of three dangerous individuals...

That's incredibly inconsiderate!

As soon as Jiraiya looked up, he saw the special container that Uchiha Gen was holding.

Inside a translucent container filled with a special solution, a pair of deep purple onion eyes floated silently.

If it's not the Rinnegan, then what is it?

The origin of these Rinnegan eyes is self-evident.

'You comforted me while gouging out Nagato's eyes?'

Jiraiya's eye twitched violently twice.

He took several deep breaths to calm his restless emotions.

"…The Godaime."

Jiraiya spoke in a deep voice, trying to fathom Uchiha Gen's thoughts.

"You don't mean you want to... use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique again to revive Yahiko and the others, do you?"

After seeing the fully resurrected Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, among others.

Jiraiya knew that Gen Uchiha's "resurrection techniques" were not limited to the Impure World Reincarnation.

The Fifth Hokage definitely possessed a resurrection technique that was even less costly and more effective!

Even Jiraiya, the teacher, dared not imagine that Gen Uchiha would use his "Perfect Resurrection Technique" to completely revive Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

When faced with Jiraiya's question, Gen Uchiha answered frankly.

"I do intend to revive Yahiko and the other two."

'Just as I thought!'

Jiraiya's eye twitched twice more.

First kill Yahiko and the others, then revive them...

Is this something a normal person could do?

Even though the ninja world has a long-standing tradition of "treating ninjas as tools".

But Jiraiya had never seen anyone who carried out the ninja traditions so thoroughly as Uchiha Gen!

They don't even spare the dead!

have to say.

The Fifth Hokage was more "Uchiha" than any other Uchiha Jiraiya had ever seen!

This person is terrifying!

Why does your gaze seem a little impolite?

Gen Uchiha noticed the change in Jiraiya's expression and was a little puzzled, but he still continued the conversation.

"It's not just the Impure World Reincarnation Technique; I can also use the Resurrection of the Dead on Yahiko and the others—the resurrection technique I used to revive the Second and Fourth Hokage."

"...It can't be that bad!"

Jiraiya endured it all, but finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fifth Hokage, even if the Akatsuki organization is guilty of heinous crimes, Yahiko and the others are not guilty of such a crime!"
