Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 276 Jiraiya-sensei, why are you opposing me?

Orochimaru's guess makes a lot of sense.

Even Jiraiya was surprised by Orochimaru's guess!

In a sense, Nagato was indeed more deserving of the title of Chosen One than Naruto Uzumaki, and he was indeed bringing about change to the ninja world.

but…

What about Naruto's child?

When he was gathering materials, he met Naruto Uzumaki and took him in as a disciple. Was it so that Nagato would sacrifice himself to extract the tailed beasts from his body and allow Nagato to gather all the tailed beasts to revive the weapon of war?

This…

the truth…

Is that right?

After having this suspicion in his mind, an even greater fear enveloped Jiraiya. After taking Naruto Uzumaki as his disciple, because of Naruto's identity and personality, Jiraiya always treated that child like his own son, and devoted a lot of energy to him...

Now it seems...

Was all of this to teach Naruto Uzumaki to sacrifice?

"Let's save Nagato first."

Fukasaku understood Jiraiya's feelings and could only sigh, "At least we must first stop Kagura from obtaining the Rinnegan..."

"yes!"

Master Shima agreed with Master Fukasaku, nodding and saying, "Whatever we want to do, stopping that little brat Kagura from obtaining the Rinnegan is something we must do!"

This is something they have to do.

Regardless of who the chosen one is, and regardless of what the truth of the future is, it is definitely the right thing to do now to stop Akihara Kagura from obtaining the Rinnegan and to prevent the Sage's Eye and Sage's Body from merging into one!

"Yes, we must stop Kagura first..."

Jiraiya accepted the two sages' advice.

"..."

Orochimaru's expression was subtle.

Where do Jiraiya and the two toad sages get their confidence from?

Even when everyone ganged up on Pain, they were nearly killed; Akihara Kagura single-handedly defeated Pain in ten seconds; how could they possibly stop Akihara Kagura?

How do I play?

Go ahead and hit me with your head!

Orochimaru…

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru.

"I have to go."

Orochimaru interrupted Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, this is truly the last time."

Jiraiya stopped Orochimaru, who was about to leave, and said, "Help me rescue Nagato, just like we used to. I will do everything in my power to cover your and Nagato's escape..."

"What you said..."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and could only nod heavily: "This is the last time. Since you're about to die here, I'll help you one last time."

After saying that, Orochimaru suddenly smiled again: "If it really comes to an absolute last resort, I can help you take the Rinnegan first..."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Jiraiya looked displeased and muttered, "At a time like this, are you still going to take advantage of the chaos?"

"idiot…"

Orochimaru shook his head and ignored Jiraiya.

On the battlefield.

The once magnificent Buddha statue with thousands of hands has degenerated into a forest.

The demonic statue was still roaring menacingly, but its limbs had been torn off, leaving only a bald body lying on the ground, posing no threat whatsoever to Akihara Kagura.

Nagato raised the black rod, about to plunge it into his eye, when a bolt of lightning struck his arm, knocking the rod from his hand!

"Senior Brother Nagato."

Akihara Kagura slowly floated down to his side and gently advised, "Why be so extreme? I just want your eyes..."

"Shinra Tensei!"

Nagato's chakra suddenly erupted!

As always, the moment the repulsive force struck Akihara Kagura, it bounced back towards Nagato's body, sending Nagato flying backward!

Konan quickly unfolded the origami sheets, trying to block Akihara Kagura's view. She knew what Nagato was going to do, but she would only support Nagato's decision.

If Nagato insists on destroying those eyes...

Konan believed that his choice was definitely right, so she followed Nagato's idea and helped Nagato stop Akihara Kagura before Nagato destroyed his eyes!

"Wind Release: Cyclone!"

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and unleashed a hurricane that sent Konan flying!

next moment!

Akihara Kagura's figure transformed into a golden light, chasing straight after Nagato's figure. He raised his finger, about to gouge out Nagato's eyes!

A long tongue suddenly grabbed Akihara Kagura's body and pulled her back, narrowly saving Nagato!

It is none other than the Hermit Shima!

The moment the toad sage saved Nagato, he quickly retracted his tongue. However, he didn't notice that the moment his tongue touched Akihara Kagura, a Flying Thunder God mark appeared on it!

"Disband the psychic stunts!"

Orochimaru understood Akihara Kagura better than anyone else, and with a furious rage, he ordered Jiraiya to immediately disband Shima Sage's summoning!

"Flying Thunder God..."

Jiraiya suddenly understood something and glared at Shima: "Shima, dispel the summoning immediately!"

Orochimaru was a step faster, swiftly kicking Shima Sage away, fearing that Shima Sage would attract Akihara Kagura's attention!

"What the hell..."

Master Shima voluntarily dispelled the summoning and vanished in a wisp of smoke!

However, after Shima the Sage dispelled the summoning and left, Jiraiya suddenly remembered something and cautiously said, "By the way, there's something I might have to mention. Kagura should also have the Flying Thunder God mark on me..."

When I took Akihara Kagura as my disciple, we had a very good relationship, so she must have been marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique...

"!!!"

Orochimaru's eyes twitched, and he glared at Jiraiya, that scoundrel, through gritted teeth!

Jiraiya has Kagura's Flying Thunder God mark on him, so he can be dealt with in an instant. How can I help him?

"You're going to stay here and die!"

Orochimaru angrily cursed Jiraiya!

"Okay, okay..."

Jiraiya could only nod with a forced smile.

however…

Seeing Akihara Kagura charging towards Nagato again in the distance, Fukasaku hurriedly shouted, "Jiraiya, it'll be too late if we don't save him now!"

"Sage Art: Water Slash!"

As Fukasaku spoke, he unleashed a high-pressure water wave at Akihara Kagura, which slashed at her like a water blade!

"..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the waves rushing towards him from behind. His Sage Mode hadn't faded yet, and he immediately raised his palm!

"Sage Art: Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

An even more powerful, high-pressure water wave swept across!

The two high-pressure water waves slashed together in a cross shape. Fukasaku's water slash was clearly not strong enough and was instantly cut off!

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Jiraiya formed hand seals and released a city wall!

Boom!

The city wall was split in two in an instant!

Jiraiya stared in horror at the high-pressure water wave that was falling diagonally beside him, which cut a deep trench in the ground!

Orochimaru took a deep breath, also realizing the terrifying nature of fighting Akihara Kagura: "Now do you know how dangerous it is to fight your disciple? That guy could kill us all with a single water-style ninjutsu he used casually..."

"We must save Nagato!"

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and sped towards Akihara Kagura, his white hair instantly growing back: "Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"

The suddenly elongated white hair, like a densely packed rope, wrapped directly around Akihara Kagura's body!

However, Jiraiya, as the caster, knew very well that he could only hold on for as long as possible with his technique. He shouted loudly, "Nagato, run!"

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Nagato looked at Jiraiya, who had saved him, with some surprise.

Just moments before, they were fighting, and he had even nearly killed the teacher. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the teacher was desperately trying to save him…

"First, escape towards the lake..."

Konan immediately grabbed Nagato and whispered, "I've set up a trap by the lake; it should stop his pursuit, and maybe even kill him..."

"Don't destroy the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru's figure rapidly approached Konan and Nagato, coldly reminding them, "Your eyes are now the hope for saving the ninja world..."

"..."

Nagato frowned, still somewhat confused.

His Rinnegan could have been the root of the ninja world's destruction, but how come it's suddenly becoming the hope for saving the ninja world?

"Run away quickly."

Orochimaru glanced at Nagato and Konan, not having time to explain further, and continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, Jiraiya shouldn't be able to hold Kagura off for long, but he will cover your escape with his life. Don't let that idiot's sacrifice be in vain..."

On the other side of the battlefield.

Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura once again faced off in a master-disciple showdown.

Akihara Kagura raised her palm and slapped it onto Jiraiya's long hair. A bolt of lightning instantly spread from the hair toward Jiraiya!

Jiraiya's body suddenly trembled violently from the electric shock, and he collapsed to the ground, even exhaling a puff of blue smoke.

The tall, white-haired man got up again, a helpless, bitter smile on his face, perhaps lamenting his fate: "It's really funny, really. I was almost killed by one disciple, and now I'm about to be killed by another..."

"Isn't it unnecessary to say something like that?"

Akihara Kagura frowned, seemingly a little confused: "Jiraiya-sensei, if I remember correctly, I was the one who saved you just now..."

"..."

Jiraiya's momentum faltered instantly.

However, he already had grounds for rebuttal. He slowly shook his head, a sigh appearing on his face: "Kagura, you want to take Nagato's Rinnegan, and you want to use the power of the Rinnegan to destroy the ninja world. This is something I cannot stand by and watch..."

"Kagura, you are my most outstanding disciple."

Jiraiya looked at Akihara Kagura and said softly, "In all my years of traveling the ninja world, I have never seen anyone with such great talent as you..."

This is a fact.

The world of ninjas is vast and full of wonders.

Jiraiya had traveled to many places and seen many different kinds of ninjas, but he still believed that Akihara Kagura was the most talented ninja in front of him, and that he had even realized his potential.

Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, Dust Release Kekkei Tota – these three Kekkei Genkai already surpassed everyone else in the ninja world. In addition, he was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, and also mastered space-time techniques, Sage Mode, and forbidden techniques…

even…

This disciple also diligently honed his physical skills.

Thinking this through, Jiraiya felt that perhaps no one in the future would be as powerful as Akihara Kagura, and no one in the ninja world could rival him.

This is what's most frightening.

A terrifying genius with no blind spots or weaknesses.

If it weren't for Nagato's Rinnegan and that weapon of war formed from the gathered tailed beasts, no one in the ninja world could have stopped Akihara Kagura from destroying the ninja world...

"Your talent shouldn't be used for killing..."

Jiraiya looked at Akihara Kagura and said softly, "Danzo had a huge influence on you. You should know now that he wasn't a good person. A ninja's life..."

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Akihara Kagura picked at her ear, seemingly a little impatient: "You're not good at lecturing, so why don't you stop lecturing here? Lord Danzo certainly had some flaws, but he also possessed admirable qualities worth learning from..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Jiraiya and continued slowly, "I have always remembered Danzo's teachings: if you find a goal, you must never waver in your will, no matter what others say or try to stop you, you must insist that you are doing the right thing..."

"Now…"

"I did the right thing."

"The source of chakra is incorrect..."

"The emergence of ninjas was a mistake, the ninja village system was a mistake, which is why there are so many wars in the ninja world. Even temporary peace cannot resolve conflicts between people. To avoid more people suffering from the pain of war in the future..."

"I've been thinking about this..."

"Finally, I got an answer."

"The first answer must be destruction."

Akihara Kagura slowly closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again: "Destroy everyone in this ninja world, make everyone who knows about war and conflict disappear..."

"A world that is completely silent is meaningless..."

Jiraiya shook his head. He absolutely did not believe that Akihara Kagura was right, and that no one could possibly be right.

"I know…"

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow and posed a question that made Jiraiya ponder: "I have a question: How were humans born?"

"Ninja..."

"And how did you come into this world?"

"..."

Jiraiya couldn't answer the first question, but he knew a lot about the second: "A thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths created the Ninja Cult, and from then on, ninjas existed. Ninjas of that era could understand each other through chakra, and there was no conflict among them..."

"yes…"

"Ninjas were created by the Sage of Six Paths..."

Seeing that her teacher had finally gotten to the point, Akihara Kagura smiled and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I am your student, and I have heard your stories countless times, so I have thought of a second answer..."

"create."

"Since ninjas can be created by the Sage of Six Paths, why not just kill everyone and create new ninjas?"

"Those ninjas created will be like newborn babies, as innocent and naive as the ninjas created by the Sage of Six Paths a thousand years ago..."

As Akihara Kagura spoke of this, she seemed to be lost in thought about her future creation story: "I will destroy this dilapidated world. The ninjas of this era are foolish and ignorant, willing to fight each other for a little gain, which is why Nagato-senpai was born..."

"However, he believed that the combined power of the nine tailed beasts could destroy the ninja world, but the power of destruction often means that it can also be used to create."

"I knew the truth about the Tailed Beasts and the Gedo Mazo before you did. Even when I mastered the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, I knew part of the truth about this ninja world. I also knew why this world is full of war, and I also knew how to create a world without war where ninjas understand each other..."

"That is to recreate a world where ninjas are born, just like the Sage of Six Paths did a thousand years ago..."

"That new world..."

"No war, no sorrow, no despair."

"The ninjas of the new world will understand each other, just like the Ninja Clan you spoke of..."

When Akihara Kagura got to this point, her face even showed a hint of sadness: "Jiraiya-sensei, I've always followed your teachings, so why are you opposing me?"

Let me add some more...

Here's a quick update from yesterday, and also some clarification on Kagura's logic loop.
