Although all the former Akatsuki members were dead, Hanzo's remnants were like rats in the sewers, and the root of Konoha was also wiped out by Uzumaki Sora.

However, among these three remnants, there might be some who know that the previous Akatsuki is still alive...

Nagato closed her eyes slightly and cast those distracting thoughts aside.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Nagato's voice rang out, and then he looked at Jiraiya and said, "Because of Yahiko's death, Konan and I formed a rift in Amegakure. In the end, with the power of these eyes, I won."

"You've already seen the outcome of the Amegakure rebellion. So now... what will you do, teacher?"

Jiraiya knew very well that his answer would determine Nagato's attitude towards him... or rather, towards Konoha.

Fortunately, that old bastard Danzo is dead, so it can be considered that Uzumaki Sora did a good thing.

If that old man hadn't died, the first village that Amegakure, led by Nagato, would probably have targeted Konoha when war broke out.

So... when the old man was Hokage, very few good things happened!

“Nagato… Danzo has been killed by Uzumaki Sora of Akatsuki, and Root has also been destroyed. The only remaining remnants were also imprisoned not long ago.”

Jiraiya looked at the two people in front of him, his gaze finally settling on Nagato.

After Yahiko's death, Nagato's will has taken over among the three disciples, which was already evident earlier.

"So... do you still carry on Yahiko's will, a will centered on peace?"

After speaking, Nagato pretended to ponder for a moment before replying in a deep voice, "As the border of three great nations, the Land of Rain has always been filled with war. And Yahiko... he wants to bring peace to this country, and he also wants to bring peace to the world."

"After venting our hatred, Xiao Nan and I also inherited this will."

Nagato spoke, and for the first time, his face showed an expression.

It sounded like mockery, yet also like helplessness.

"But I am not as great as Yahiko. I cannot and will not interfere with the conflicts of the entire ninja world. Amegakure and the Land of Rain are my peaceful private domain."

"Jiraiya-sensei, now that you know all this, it's time for you to leave."

"Tell the Konoha ninjas not to come anymore. If they are mistaken for Hanzo's remnants, they will be killed. This... is my advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato's gaze narrowed slightly.

All things guide the heavens!

In an instant, a tremendous suction force appeared.

Even if you gather your chakra and hold it tightly to the ground, it will be to no avail.

Jiraiya then did not resist further, and after looking at Nagato and Konan, his gaze softened.

"No matter what, it's really good that you two are still alive."

"puff."

A black rod pierced through Jiraiya's heart.

"boom."

As the smoke dissipated, Jiraiya's shadow clones vanished.

Xiao Nan, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief: "If you hadn't changed it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nagato raised his hand to stop Konan.

His gaze then drifted to a dark corner: "Are you coming out on your own, or do you want to be killed outright?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a small red-skinned toad emerged from the corner, raising its hands.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

This scene stunned Xiao Nan. Even though she had always been calm, a vein bulged at the corner of her eye.

Just now, when Jiraiya's shadow clones were scattered, his emotional last words still echoed in my ears.

As expected of Jiraiya-sensei?

Using the smoke from the shattered shadow clones as cover, they managed to leave behind a toad...

One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, a ninja who experienced two Shinobi World Wars, he really is Jiraiya-sensei!

At that moment, Nagato looked at the toad in front of him and said, "Take this message back with you. This is the last time."

"Shh."

A flash of cold light, and one of the little toad's legs fell to the ground.

It was at this time that the reverse channeling was completed.

"Boom."

As the smoke cleared, the messenger frog disappeared into the tower.

After a long pause, Xiao Nan finally spoke, asking, "Is there anything else?"

Nagato shook his head slightly: "I can understand. Even I was not calm when I saw Jiraiya-sensei."

Xiao Nan replied, "After all, those two years... were probably the happiest two years of our lives. After that, we fell into darkness."

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

After a long pause, Nagato spoke up: "Ever since Jiraiya learned of our existence, it probably won't be a secret for much longer."

"Although Pain's Deva Path did not appear in front of Jiraiya-sensei, and Akatsuki's uniform was put away because of my vigilance, there may still be people who know about the existence of the previous Akatsuki."

After a moment's thought, Konan questioned, "With the power of Uzumaki Sora and his original form, plus yours, Nagato, even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected, he still wouldn't be able to resist. What is he waiting for?"

Nagato walked to the window, looked outside, and replied, "At first, because of the existence of the Rinnegan, I thought I was a god who was about to create peace. But now, I understand that even these eyes can be used as pawns by those guys."

"The information he gave us was what he wanted us to know. But how much more of this world is unknown to us? There is still so much more..."

"Once we find the right path, we will walk it, and peace will eventually be achieved. We are willing to sacrifice everything to realize this will, even if it means facing the dark side of the world from beginning to end."

……

The Land of Rain, a brothel in the town.

"Hahaha...Miss, you have a really great figure!"

"I'm glad you like it, Ninja Master. If you are satisfied with my service, please give me a good review when you pay the bill later."

"Hehehe... Definitely! Your service is absolutely amazing..."

As he spoke, Jiraiya picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, while the bomb-like beauty next to him also moved closer.

However, the next moment, Jiraiya's hand, which had been holding down the wine glass, froze in mid-air.

The information about the shadow clone has been transmitted back.

"boom."

Jiraiya put down his glass, his drunken expression vanishing instantly. He stood up and said, "Sorry, something came up. It seems I'll have to come back another time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya summoned a toad using the Summoning Jutsu.

As the smoke dissipated, the man and the toad vanished from the spot.

The sudden turn of events left the bomb-wielding beauty stunned: "As expected, no man is any good. The promised positive review is gone just like that."

and many more.

This guy didn't seem to have paid the bill yet!

……

Upon seeing the Message Frog at Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya expressed his deepest apologies.

The message from his shadow clone was relayed back, and he understood his shadow clone's thoughts.

Although Nagato said he had told her everything, there were still questions.

The details of how Hanzo and Danzo's Root faction killed Yahiko are not clearly explained. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the five pairs of Rinnegan were human or puppets controlled by Nagato.

I had a feeling of familiarity with those five guys from beginning to end.

"Don't blame yourself too much, Jiraiya. Mount Myōboku has a way to restore his leg."

Fukasaku offered a word of comfort, then asked, "Is the other party an enemy? This is the last time they've issued such a warning, so they must be a very troublesome enemy, right?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Boss, remember what I told you? I once taught three wandering disciples in the Land of Rain, one of whom even had the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths. It was him..."

Fukasaku nodded: "You once suspected that he was the prophesied child the old man spoke of, but it seems that the changes in him now are somewhat beyond your expectations."

Yahiko dies, Hanzo of the Salamander is killed, the rebellion succeeds, and complete control of Amegakure is achieved...

This is quite unexpected!

"Boss, I have to go back to Konoha."

Jiraiya's gaze narrowed slightly: "The Hidden Rain Village, which possesses the Rinnegan, has a history of enmity with the Hidden Leaf Village. Now, the entire ninja world is about to be shaken. This force should not be underestimated."

Fukasaku the toad nodded: "Go ahead and get busy. If you need any help, you can always summon me and the child's mother. You haven't forgotten Sage Mode, have you?"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "How could that be? Don't worry, boss."

……

Meanwhile, in the Naka River of Konoha.

"What's wrong, Yun?"

Uchiha Yun paused for a moment, then looked at Shisui beside him and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something that happened a few years ago, right here too."

Zhi Shui smiled and said, "The words and goals I once spoke of have all been achieved. I am very fortunate, fortunate that I chose to believe back then."

Yun nodded, then walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the river.

More than half a year ago, Jiraiya left the village for information about Amegakure. And this time, he actually saw Konan.

With such a huge commotion in Amegakure, it would be difficult for even a clone like Kongxiang not to know.

However, in this case, it's unclear whether Nagato and Konan have been exposed.

The black uniforms with red clouds were never issued after they were collected, which now seems quite prescient.

Otherwise, we would have no choice but to start the plan ahead of schedule.

There are still three months until the next transaction can begin. If Kakashi is chosen, he can put pressure on Obito.
