Chapter 143 Instant Kill of the Asura Path (Second Update)

The next day, in Amegakure, dark clouds covered the sky, and it was drizzling as usual.

Except for Sundays, it rains almost every day in Amegakure.

Inside the village, a toad jumped out of the water, and Jiraiya's body was then spat out of the toad's mouth.

"Phew, we finally managed to sneak in!"

Looking around, unlike Konoha, where most buildings are made of wood, Amegakure, with its abundant steel resources, has tower-shaped buildings made primarily of steel, with many drainage pipes visible.

The overall design has a steampunk feel to it.

Donning a raincoat, Jiraiya quietly blended into the crowd on the street.

At this moment, Pain, who was with Konan atop the tower, suddenly spoke:

"I sensed a very familiar and powerful chakra in the village. It must be a ninja from another village who has infiltrated. Go find him after the rain stops."

The torrential rain that covered the entire village was a ninjutsu he created using the power of his Rinnegan.

He could immediately sense if a stranger got wet in the heavy rain.

"Once you find it, just kill it."

Pain formed hand seals, and soon the dark clouds above the entire Rain Village began to dissipate.

"Rain Tiger Freedom Technique!"

"The Art of Paper Cloning!"

Without the interference of the rain, Konan immediately transformed into countless pieces of paper, each of which automatically folded into a butterfly and scattered throughout the Rain Village, beginning her search for Jiraiya's whereabouts.

Half an hour later, Konan found Jiraiya, who was using the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique to control Amegakure genin, in a corner of the village.

The Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique is a ninjutsu that allows a ninja to hide in the enemy's shadow and control their actions, making it difficult for ordinary ninjas to detect.

However, Konan was Jiraiya's student and was familiar with Jiraiya's ninjutsu, so she could naturally detect it quickly.

Jiraiya never expected that the so-called angel he had just learned about from that genin was actually his former apprentice, Konan.

Then he saw Pain, the Beast Path, who had the same Rinnegan as Nagato.

After some conversation, he realized that his former apprentice had gone astray.

Nagato actually claimed to be a god and wanted to collect the tailed beasts to create a super weapon. He planned to use the power of the super weapon to cause a great war between various countries, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Until enough people die, until everyone in the world feels pain and thus fears and dreads war, then peace will finally be achieved.

Furthermore, he had absolutely no feelings for his master and wanted to kill him after their conversation to prevent him from leaking information.

Jiraiya originally thought he had a chance against Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths, since Nagato could summon two toad elders to transform into Sage Mode.

But ever since he learned of Hawking's prediction, he knew that he could not win this battle.

Pain, who possesses Nagato's eyes, should not be limited to summoning beasts for combat as he currently appears, even though these summoning beasts are also very powerful.

You see, when he was guiding Nagato's training, he knew that Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, could learn all the elemental ninjutsu from the very beginning. How could he possibly only know a summoning jutsu now?

So he pretended to fight, but actually seized the opportunity to run away quickly.

However, he still underestimated Nagato's strength.

Realizing that Jiraiya was trying to escape, Nagato immediately dispatched all six Paths of Pain, who eventually intercepted Jiraiya at a lake outside the village and launched a swift attack.

After a fierce battle, even though Jiraiya summoned two frog elders for help and activated Sage Mode, he was still severely injured and suffered a crushing defeat. The two frog elders were also injured and returned to Mount Myōboku.

"Jiraiya-sensei, it's time to send you off. Before the power of the gods, mortals like you are powerless to resist."

The world is like a child; I will teach it pain so that it can grow, just like we once were.

One of the Asura's hands transformed into metal serrations, ready to finish off Jiraiya.

However, Jiraiya sighed at this moment:

"Looks like I'll have to use the Flying Thunder God Technique this time!"

Using up his last bit of chakra, Jiraiya activated the Summoning Jutsu once more.

Meanwhile, Pain's voice was icy cold:

"Jiraiya-sensei, stop struggling. Those toads can't save you."

"But this time, I'm not communicating with a toad!"

Jiraiya shouted, and a young figure appeared in front of him.

"Dare to ambush me? Die!"

As soon as Hawking appeared, he noticed Pain, the Asura Path, wielding a serrated blade aimed at him from behind. He immediately turned around and easily caught the incoming blade with two fingers.

Then came a lightning-fast, heart-piercing kick, piercing through the heart of Pain's Asura Path, creating a gaping hole in his abdomen and instantly killing him.

"Such impressive physical skills!"

Upon seeing this, Nagato, who was hiding atop the village's tower and secretly controlling the Six Paths of Pain, raised an eyebrow.

So easily, he instantly defeated the offensively skilled Asura Pain. The helper that Jiraiya summoned this time is unbelievably strong in taijutsu.

"What's wrong, Nagato? Did Jiraiya-sensei run away?"

Konan, who was guarding Nagato's main body, noticed that Nagato's expression was strange and asked with a complicated look in her eyes.

Having always been gentle by nature, she naturally didn't want to die like her father, Jiraiya. However, all the experiences she had over the years, including Yahiko's death and Nagato's current state, were because of her.

So now, what Nagato wants to do is what she wants to do, even if it means killing Jiraiya.

"It's nothing, just an unexpected incident, it'll be resolved quickly."

Nagato replied in a cold voice.

After Hawking dealt with Pain in the Asura Path, he turned to look at Jiraiya.

"Look, if you had communicated with me sooner, you wouldn't have gotten hurt. Why did you have to?"

Actually, after arranging a time with Jiraiya yesterday, he had already been waiting for Jiraiya to summon him at Mount Myōboku twenty minutes earlier.

However, Jiraiya first summoned Gamaken, then the two toad elders, and only summoned him when he was truly on the verge of death.

"Haha, it's not that I don't want to trouble you. If I can handle it myself, I will."

I just didn't expect Payne to be this strong.

The thick-skinned Jiraiya didn't mind at all, and instantly brought the atmosphere back on track with a loud laugh:

"Hawking, we don't need to fight them head-on. Use your flying ninjutsu to get me away. I've already obtained most of the intelligence, so there's no need to risk fighting him anymore."

In the battle just now, Pain defeated Nagato without using all six of his own abilities. Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, it also shows that Nagato's strength is indeed beyond the normal level.

Furthermore, this place is not far from Amegakure, so if Nagato gives the order, a large number of Amegakure ninjas will come to attack.

So even though he knew that Hawking was no less capable than himself, he decided that the safest course of action was to retreat back to the village to relay intelligence.
