Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at her hands, and felt a little regretful that she hadn't been able to deliver a fatal blow.

"Konan, come back." Konan, who had returned to human form in the distance, looked at Skadi with lingering fear.

Just as she was considering how to stop Skadi, a voice rang out.

"it is good."

After giving Skadi a deep look, Konan flapped her paper wings and flew away from the spot.

She can't beat Skadi, but if she fights hard, she can stop her from advancing.

Although she couldn't hold him off for long, she was willing to sacrifice herself to create an opportunity for Payne.

However, Payne clearly had no intention of letting her sacrifice herself, and instead called her back directly.

"Instead of protecting Payne, she's shooting herself... Has Payne already made his move?"

Upon landing, Hai Si's figure slowly disappeared.

Skadi looked ahead, her senses amplified, and she also captured some information.

"Jiraiya".

She "saw" Jiraiya fighting Pain, already locked in a fierce battle. If she arrived too late, Pain would...

They were killed too.

"No."

Skadi instantly understood why Pain had sent Konan back; he was already capable of dealing with Jiraiya.

At this distance, he concluded that he was completely unable to provide support.

The reason for sending Konan back was to ensure that she would not be disturbed at the last moment, making it easier for him to kill Jiraiya.

"Haijir."

Without the staff to amplify her abilities, Skadi wastes a lot of energy when casting spells.

But she couldn't worry about that now; she had to stop Pain from killing Jiraiya.

"Boom!" An explosion came from beneath her feet as she summoned Hai Si.

Xiao Nan, who had already left, activated the detonating tag that had just been left behind using a special method.

The noise from the detonation tag didn't harm her, but it stopped her from moving.

"You can't stop me."

Skadi didn't care when her hat was blown off. She jumped onto the sea, landed at a high point, raised her hand, and slightly parted her red lips.

"Heh~~heh~~" A long chant rang out, and Skadi's companion, Haiji, vanished into the void and instantly appeared behind Jiraiya.

"This is... the summoning beast of the girl Tsunade brought back?"

The moment Jiraiya saw Haishi, he knew who had arrived.

After all, that beautiful girl named Skadi was really, really beautiful, so beautiful that his eyes were practically glued to her.

He was originally planning to find an opportunity to give her a physical examination or peek while she was showering, but Tsunade discovered him instantly and beat him up.

They had a meal.

That's why he was so impressed with Skadi.

He had thought he was going to be killed by Payne, but Skadi's appearance gave him hope.

Although he didn't know what Skadi's abilities were, her appearance meant that he had reinforcements.

A Song of Different Paths Leading to the Same Destination

This is Skadi's ability; relying on the Sea Child, she can extend her abilities to extremely far places.

This ability allows one to instantly recover from their own injuries and heal the injuries of those around them.

Furthermore, while casting this skill, she can absorb damage taken by individuals within a specific range or designated target area.

50%.

Her endurance will also increase to nearly 300% of what it is before she uses this ability.

The moment Hai Si appeared, Skadi, who had already unleashed "The Song of Different Paths," directly shielded Jiraiya from a fatal blow.

"Hurry, Lord Jiraiya." Skadi's voice came from Haishi. Blood was trickling from Jiraiya's lips, but his injuries were gradually healing.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to leave for the time being and wait for a suitable opportunity to find Payne's weaknesses later.

But Payne absolutely could not allow such an outcome.

In an instant, Pain, who had been hiding and had not yet made a move, attacked.

Chapter Six: Let Uncle check if your development is normal

Shinra Tensei

Pain, suspended in mid-air, unleashed "Shinra Tensei" centered on Jiraiya.

"boom

An incredibly powerful repulsive force swept over them, and even Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, had no way to resist such a force of nature.

His body was blasted away, and Shinra Tensei spread outwards, chasing after him, seemingly trying to completely engulf him.

Hai Si escaped into the void, not only avoiding the attack of Shinra Tensei, but also continuously healing Jiraiya's injuries.

"This girl is amazing."

Despite the dangerous situation, Jiraiya was full of praise for Skadi.

He wasn't worried about his life at all, since his injuries had already healed.

The wounds inflicted by "Shinra Tensei" have healed, giving him great confidence in his upcoming battle against Pain.

He didn't even want to retreat anymore; he just wanted to take care of Pain now and destroy the Akatsuki organization.

However, while he was able to hold on, Skadi was having some difficulty.

"Lord Jiraiya, if you don't retreat soon, I won't be able to hold on any longer."

Her voice became very weak, with a pitiful quality.

Upon hearing her voice and looking at his "summoning beast" Kaiji, who had been following him, Jiraiya seemed to understand something.

"I'll step back first."

Jiraiya temporarily abandoned his idea of ​​directly killing the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and with a single ninjutsu, he disappeared from the spot.

He had tried every method before, but had failed to kill the opponent, and had not even been able to find out the most important information.

Now, to prevent himself from escaping, the other party has revealed another piece of information.

This information allowed him to fairly determine the other party's capabilities.

That's enough. If we continue to be stubborn, we'll only drag down the people who came to our rescue.

He still has many things to do; he can't die here now.

"All Things Guided by Heaven"

Seeing that Jiraiya was also running away, Pain raised his hand, about to unleash his ability to forcibly pull the opponent to his side from a distance.

However, just as he was about to make a move, another strange song rang out, interrupting his actions.

"They escaped."

Jiraiya's information disappeared completely after only a brief moment of confusion.

"Konoha Village".

Looking in the direction Jiraiya fled, or rather, in the place where Skadi was.

Payne's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a low voice, seemingly having made up his mind.

"Konan, have everyone do everything in their power to stop Skadi and Jiraiya from returning to Konoha."

"Let's go and destroy Konoha."

"The original plan has to be brought forward," Nagato, hidden in the shadows, looked at Konan and gave the order.

"Yes..." A hint of hesitation flashed in Konan's eyes, but she still accepted Nagato's plan.

This is something that must be done so that there will be no more conflict or war in the world.

“Skadi…”

He learned about this "Konoha rogue ninja" as soon as he arrived in the Land of Rain.

Through the information gathering efforts of the Akatsuki organization, the identity of the other party was quickly confirmed.

I thought that having Xiao Nan stop them would be enough, but I didn't expect the other side to defeat Xiao Nan so easily.

Even though Xiao Nan didn't use her full strength, her opponent still caught his attention.

But given the distance, he judged that Skadi absolutely could not save Jiraiya, which is why he sent Konan back to avoid any problems.

To his complete surprise, the woman actually used a summoning beast to rescue Jiraiya.

This unexpected turn of events forced him to abandon his original plan—to destroy Konoha.

"Phew." Skadi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiraiya had escaped.

She wasn't really at her breaking point, but she had to say that in order to get Jiraiya to give up the idea of ​​fighting.

It seems that Jiraiya remained clear-headed even after receiving important information.

"Hey, Skadi, you saved me! How about I buy you a drink and we take a bath together?"

"Let me, your uncle, examine your body and see if your development is normal."

While she was waiting, Jiraiya suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pounced on her, seemingly to hug her.

Skadi turned to the side, and the shrunken Kaiji appeared where she had just been, being kissed and hugged by Jiraiya.
