Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 163 That place clashes with you

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Minato was startled when he saw Jiraiya covered in tree branches.

Jiraiya forced a smile. "You guys came just in time! Otherwise, I would have been done for."

"Minato, you take Jiraiya and your junior brothers and sisters back to Konoha to find Tsunade. I'll handle things here."

Jiraiya's situation is terrible and cannot be delayed any longer.

Minato, of course, understood as well, and immediately led Jiraiya, Nagato, and the others back to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Tsunade was already prepared and immediately pushed Jiraiya into the operating room.

Shikatoki then turned to look at Uchiha Shinka.

"It seems I can't keep you around!"

Lu Shi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Uchiha Shinka struggled to his feet. Shikatoko glanced at him and then rushed off in another direction.

The Uchiha Shinnosuke in front of me is a White Zetsu in disguise.

The main purpose should be to buy time.

Shikatoki was incredibly fast; even the heavily injured Uchiha Shinka couldn't outrun him. "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Pang Fu's Fire Release instantly enveloped Uchiha Shinnosuke.

A black sealing spell suddenly appeared.

Shika paused, realizing he was quite familiar with this technique. It was the same technique that had sent him and Minato to the Divine Tree by Black Zetsu.

As expected, the Uchiha Flame disappeared.

Lu was somewhat speechless.

You might say Black Zetsu is cautious, but he always tolerates Uchiha Shinnosuke provoking him.

You might say Blackie is extremely cautious, but he also has plenty of ways to protect himself.

"Never mind, let's go back first."

Shika returned to Konoha, while Jiraiya was still undergoing emergency treatment.

Nagato and the others, however, have already been taken to the hospital.

Lu Shi pushed open the door and went in.

"Brother Lu Shi."

"How are you guys?" Lu Shi asked with concern.

"The injuries are alright, it's just that Yahiko and Nagato are a bit—"

Konan, whose injuries were the least severe, was busy taking care of Yahiko and Nagato.

Both of them are now somewhat withdrawn.

One of his eyes was gouged out, and his left arm was broken, but fortunately Tsunade was a miracle worker.

Nagato's eyes were replaced with new ones, and Yahiko's left arm was reattached, though it will take time to recover.

"Lord Shikatoki, is it possible to get my Rinnegan back?" Nagato suddenly asked.

Lu Shi sighed, "There were some things I wasn't planning to tell you, but you're not young anymore, and you should know some of the truth by now."

As they were talking, Shuimen walked in.

"What's the truth?"

"Hokage-sama!" Konan immediately stood up. "How is Jiraiya-sensei?"

These words made Nagato and Yahiko look at Minato nervously.

Jiraiya was so badly injured to protect them. If something happened to Jiraiya, they would never forgive themselves.

"Tsunade said it's nothing serious, just a long recovery period ahead."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright."

"Where is that person?" Minato asked.

They ran away.

Minato was somewhat surprised. "Really? He can escape from you?"

"The guy behind that kid isn't very strong, but he's an expert at escaping. He went to the Divine Tree."

Minato didn't seem too concerned. "They've run away, so be it. I'll remind the Konoha ninja to be careful when they're on missions."

"Um.

""

"By the way, what truth did you just mention?"

"The truth about the Rinnegan."

These words left the group somewhat puzzled. "What's the truth behind the Rinnegan?"

"Nagato's Rinnegan belongs to Madara Uchiha." Shikatoki dropped a bombshell right off the bat.

"What?"

Nagato stared at the deer in disbelief. "But I've had the Rinnegan since I was a child!"

"The essence of the Rinnegan is to possess the chakra of both Indra and Ashura. Madara Uchiha was the reincarnation of Indra, and with the addition of Hashirama Senju's flesh and blood, he evolved the Rinnegan from his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The reason it's only on Nagato is because the Uzumaki clan has strong vitality, which can nurture the Rinnegan. As the owner of the Rinnegan, you should know very well that it's very difficult for you to use, and you even have to consume your life force at the drop of a hat."

Nagato was stunned.

Because what Lu Shi said is right.

He knew that the Rinnegan was in his possession, and that short-term use of it wouldn't cause any problems.

If used for a long time and at high intensity, the Rinnegan will devour his life force, and he thought that this was because he was too weak.

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat silent, Shika said with a smile, "Alright, don't be sad. The Rinnegan is both a help and a curse. Even without the Rinnegan, you still have the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. After you've rested, I'll take you to the Uzumaki clan for some further training."

"Yahiko too, I'm only helping you stabilize the situation in Amegakure and the Land of Rain temporarily. If you continue to isolate yourself like this, who will take care of the Land of Rain!"

Shika's words gradually drew Yahiko's attention.

After exchanging a few more words, Shika and Minato left the ward.

"What do you say?" Lu Shi looked at Shui Men.

"I still have work to do, so I'll head back to my office now."

"Okay, then I'll go check on Jiraiya." Shikatoki said and headed straight for Jiraiya's hospital room.

Pushing open the door, I saw Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Hiruko.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing! You can't even beat an Uchiha brat." Tsunade's tone was full of disdain.

Jiraiya lay immobile in his hospital bed, his voice trembling with agitation, "No, even if you went, you might not be able to beat him. That kid's ninjutsu is incredibly strange; I still haven't figured out what's going on!"

"Come on! You're just making excuses."

"This is not an excuse."

""

Jiraiya panicked and turned to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, believe me, that Uchiha's ninjutsu is really strange. I couldn't even react before he appeared."

Orochimaru: "Heh, I believe you."

"You don't believe me at all! Hiruko! You believe me."

I believe you.

Hiruko truly believed in Jiraiya.

In order to study bloodline limits, he also studied the Sharingan. Once it evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan, all sorts of bizarre ninjutsu will emerge.

"It seems Jiraiya-senpai is in good spirits! That puts my mind at ease."

Lu Shi walked in with a smile.

Jiraiya, as if seeing a lifeline, said, "Shikatoki, tell me, isn't that guy's ninjutsu quite bizarre?"

"Didn't you check the Konoha intelligence?"

"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

"That Uchiha is Uchiha Shinno, who went missing before. I submitted his information to Minato last time, and Minato has already put it into storage. His Mangekyou Sharingan ability is to control time."

Shika said helplessly that he had been compiling information for Minato ever since he clashed with Uchiha Shinka in Kirigakure.

It's just that Jiraiya is rarely in Konoha and doesn't care about this kind of information.

"what?"

Jiraiya was taken aback at first, then immediately said, "See? I told you it wasn't my fault! Time management! Who can withstand this?!"

"I know, I know, you should just focus on recovering!" Tsunade waved her hand impatiently. "Starting today, you have to stay in bed for a month."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

"I'm a doctor, and you're a doctor?" Tsunade's words were absolute.

Jiraiya could only send out his plea for help to Orochimaru and Hiruko.

Orochimaru turned his head with a smile, and Hiruko said directly, "Jiraiya, just behave yourself. I was shocked when I first saw your injuries."

"Lu Shi, can't you control your wife?!"

Since Orochimaru and Hiruko were unreliable, Jiraiya could only seek help from Shikatoki.

Lu Shi smiled slightly, "Don't look at me, I'm henpecked, you know that."

Tsunade smiled smugly upon hearing this.

Jiraiya could only accept his fate.

"I need to rest now, you guys should leave!"

As everyone departed, Shikatoki casually remarked before leaving, "Jiraiya, I should avoid going to the Land of Rain so often from now on."

"Is there any explanation?"

"I feel like that place is incompatible with you."

After saying that, Shika turned and left, leaving Jiraiya with a puzzled look on his face.

This isn't just something Lu Shi said randomly.

In the original story, Jiraiya went to the Land of Rain to investigate the Akatsuki organization and was killed by Nagato.

Yahiko is still alive, and Nagato hasn't turned evil.

As a result, Jiraiya went to the Land of Rain and almost died there.

Isn't this a clash?

During Jiraiya's hospitalization, many people came to visit him.

The Uchiha clan was the most active among them.

After all, it was a rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan who injured Jiraiya, so the Uchiha had to make a statement. Moreover, Fugaku's expression was particularly complicated after learning that Uchiha Shinka had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The children who go out into the world are all talented, while those in the village are all disappointing.
