Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

This answer made Jiraiya smile.

Has the former disciple already harbored murderous intent?

But I didn't sense any killing intent. So... what exactly happened to them all these years?

There had been rumors that they were dead, but now it seems that the entire Land of Rain is shrouded in a fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

"If Nagato's Rinnegan appears before other people, do you think I would ignore it?"

Jiraiya looked at Konan and asked, "Where is Yahiko? And what about Nagato?"

Konan said in a deep voice, "Is it because of the Rinnegan? The appearance of such power requires even Konoha to investigate. That's truly the style of a great power."

These words made Jiraiya laugh in anger: "Is this how you see me as your teacher, Konan? You think I'm after the power of the Rinnegan?"

Xiao Nan paused for a moment.

In an instant, memories of those two years flooded my mind, and the bouquet of origami flowers kept flashing through my mind.

……

at the same time……

Through the senses transmitted back by the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato also learned who that solitary chakra belonged to.

Nagato closed her eyes slightly.

The right path to peace has been found, and Yahiko's will will eventually be fulfilled.

No obstacles are allowed on this road.

Even Jiraiya-sensei wouldn't do!

and many more……

Under the Rain Tiger Free Technique, Jiraiya's chakra shouldn't be limited to this amount.

This is why I didn't notice anything unusual at first and mistakenly thought it was Rain Ninja.

So……

The current Jiraiya is not his original form!

It was only once that he was able to come up with a way to confuse his senses with ninjutsu.

As expected of Jiraiya-sensei!

……

After a while, Pain of the Human Path appeared behind Jiraiya.

"Minami, bring Jiraiya-sensei to me."

Xiao Nan was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.

Jiraiya turned to look at the Human Path and asked, "Brought here to you? You're not the real body? But you don't seem like a shadow clone with a physical form either. So, are you Nagato? Or Yahiko?"

Human Path said expressionlessly, "Jiraiya-sensei, if you want to know, come find me. I can tell you everything, and then your shadow clone can send the message back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Konan folded her wings, glanced at Jiraiya, and then headed towards the tower with the Human Path.

Jiraiya, who was following behind the two, frowned slightly. Konan's emotions and tone of voice when she answered did not seem to be controlled by any secret technique.

So what exactly happened?

Weren't those five pairs of Rinnegan the original body?

Is the original body Nagato?

Or Yahiko?

All five owners of the Rinnegan have orange hair.

What's the meaning behind having the same hair color as Yahiko?

……

Inside the tower, after arranging a series of beginnings and endings, Nagato waited quietly.

Meanwhile, Pain, including those from the Animal Path, had already left the tower and were beginning to sense Jiraiya's location in the vicinity.

A short while later, Konan and Jiraiya appeared there.

After entering the tower, the Human Path left, as he too needed to find Jiraiya's true form.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Nagato looked at Jiraiya in front of him: "If you want to know anything, you can start asking now."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "I'm glad to see you're alright. I originally thought you were harmed because of those eyes."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Konan and smiled, "We're still missing one. Where's Yahiko? It's been so many years since we last met. Is he shy about this sudden visit from his teacher?"

Jiraiya sat down on the ground without a second thought: "Nagato's perception is already quite strong, and Konan has become a great beauty. Now all that's missing is Yahiko. As your center, that kid's strength shouldn't be bad either, right?"

Nagato stared blankly at Jiraiya, who was joking around, and said in a deep voice, "Yahiko... is already dead."

???

These words startled Jiraiya, but he seemed to understand immediately.

The only thing that could enrage Nagato so much that he was willing to slaughter the entire Hanzo family in revenge was the life-and-death hatred between Yahiko and Konan.

I remember when we left, only Yahiko cried the most.

Is that optimistic boy who once clamored to possess godlike power and bring an end to war in the world no longer here?

For a moment, the tower was completely silent.

After a long while, Jiraiya sighed.

……

Chapter 248: This is the last time

At this moment, Nagato's face was expressionless, and even when he said that Yahiko was dead, he showed no sadness.

All the pain and hatred had already been vented when Yahiko died.

The inherited will can be realized. When the world's trajectory follows the plan and true peace is achieved, those who should not exist will perish...

"Hey……"

At this moment, Jiraiya sighed, "Is it because of Hanzo? I asked around about you before, but the information I received was that you were all dead..."

At this moment, Jiraiya also felt a bit blocked up inside. Among the three disciples, Yahiko, as the center, valued bonds the most.

The two-year term has ended, and the boy who cried like a child before leaving is no longer here...

"Teacher... Yahiko's death wasn't just because of Hanzo!"

Nagato raised his head slightly and looked directly at Jiraiya: "Back then, Konoha also provided some assistance."

Jiraiya was taken aback upon hearing this.

Did Yahiko's Dead Konoha also get involved?

how come?

"How long ago was Yahiko killed?"

Nagato shook his head slightly: "There's no point in talking about this now. Yahiko's death proves that his path was wrong."

road?

Yahiko's path?

That innocent boy once wanted to end the war in the entire ninja world all by himself.

The approach of resolving disputes through conversation is destined to fail in the end.

But what I didn't expect was...

On the road to failure, the price paid is life itself.

So... what role does Konoha play in all of this?

Jiraiya frowned deeply; this was extremely important.

Judging from Nagato's attitude at this moment, there is no change in his emotions. This can be interpreted from another perspective, meaning that he has given up hope.

The appearance of five pairs of Rinnegan signifies that Nagato has now mastered the power of the Rinnegan. This gives Amegakure, led by Nagato, the power to reshape the entire ninja world.

At this moment, Jiraiya thought of the latest information he had obtained from Minato.

The legendary mother of the Sage of Six Paths was referred to as the Goddess of the Rabbit in ancient texts from Mount Myōboku. It is astonishing that the will of such a deity exists in the present day.

Akatsuki: Nearly invincible space-time ninjutsu; Orochimaru seems to have joined that organization as well.

Uzumaki Sora: Possesses the ability to guess and predict the future; his power is comparable to that of the First Hokage of Konoha, almost godlike.

What's even more terrifying is his unique trading ability. To this day, no one knows exactly how much of that ability he has traded.

How much of it was actually utilized?

How many are still in the planning stages?

One after another, all sorts of strange people or demons appear, plus Nagato, who possesses the Sage's Eyes of Six Paths.

The chaos that will engulf the entire ninja world is already foreseeable...

In this chaos, if Nagato's goal is still Konoha, then this force will become a factor that disrupts the balance.

Which bastard is it?

Back then... the Hokage was an old man!

For a moment... Jiraiya felt a headache coming on.

At this moment, a gentle light flashed in Konan's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up: "Yahiko... died fourteen years ago. Hanzo of the Salamander and Danzo, who was known as the Darkness of Konoha, cooperated to obtain Nagato's eyes."

Konan's words caused Nagato's gaze to narrow slightly.

It seems that seeing Jiraiya-sensei did stir up some emotions within her. Although she maintained a composed expression, was she secretly yearning to confide in someone?

It's like a child seeing their parents, all their grievances and emotions bursting out.
