Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The Fourth Raikage tried to break free, but four mechanical arms emerged from behind the Asura Path again, binding him.

"boom!!!"

As the laser cannon fired, in a split second of deviation, the Fourth Raikage unleashed a burst of lightning from his entire body.

The Fourth Raikage, who was sent flying a hundred meters away, was covered in mud, with a charred patch on his chest near his shoulder, and a large section of it was even sunken in.

All things guide the heavens!

Pain stretched out his hand, and the Fourth Raikage, who was still in mid-air, paused and then rushed towards him.

Gravity stopped, and several black rods pierced the Fourth Raikage's body before falling to the ground.

"Shh!"

"boom!"

One of the kunai that was heading towards the Fourth Raikage's heart was knocked away by the kunai crackling with lightning.

Pain turned his head and looked at Kakashi, who had just made his move.

"Copy Ninja Kakashi, you should know that the Fourth Raikage has always been on the opposite side of Konoha."

"Even this time, bringing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha and using Konoha as a battlefield, this is his plan."

Kakashi, panting heavily, replied, "Regardless, you are the enemy of the entire ninja world. If we continue to cling to old hatred at a time like this, then the entire ninja world will have no chance of winning!"

Pain stared directly into Kakashi's eyes, while Nagato, standing behind him, tried to get a clear look at the Konoha ninja in front of him.

"is it?"

"boom!"

With a burst of repulsive force, several black rods attacked, reaching Kakashi in an instant.

"Boom."

A plume of smoke rose, and the Heavenly Dao paused, momentarily stunned.

However, the next moment, the instant the repulsive force stopped, a blue figure descended from the sky.

"boom!!!"

As Susanoo's long sword slashed down, Sai, who was controlling a giant ink-wash bird in the sky, flew away.

Not far away, the Hungry Ghost Path was smashed down by Kai's punch, but it was rushing towards this side at high speed.

"Om..."

Kakashi's three tomoe transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan, his eye power exploding as he focused his gaze on the Preta Path rushing towards him from afar.

The next moment, a vortex appeared in the space. The Hungry Ghost Path dodged in time, but its upper body was still torn apart.

The ground cracked open, and the circular crater that had been compressed by the Super Shinra Tensei was now cleaved open with a fissure.

Pain's twisted body lay motionless inside.

After unleashing his Kamui eye technique, Kakashi collapsed to the ground, his Mangekyou Sharingan reverting to three tomoe.

Is it over?

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and saw that his long sword was heading towards the Human Path. The Preta Path had been destroyed, and now Susanoo could act without restraint.

It's been almost four years, but we still work together seamlessly.

……

Meanwhile, in the forest surrounding Konoha.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya, with his extraordinary sensory abilities, has already arrived here.

The giant tree in front of him was not much different from ordinary trees, but Jiraiya could tell that it was formed by combining pieces of paper.

Xiao Nan...

With a furrowed brow, Jiraiya looked at the giant tree in front of him, and the image of those three brats from back then floated into his mind.

When he left, Yahiko cried bitterly, Konan held up a bouquet of origami flowers, and Nagato was there too...

After letting out a breath, Jiraiya spoke up: "Konan, Nagato, we've arrived. Won't you say goodbye?"

After he finished speaking, there was silence.

After a while, the origami shook, and an exit appeared before Jiraiya's eyes.

In the pitch-black tree hollow, the toad on his shoulder said, "In this situation, there might be a trap if we go in."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly, then lifted his leg and walked straight inside.

In the dark, hollow tree trunk, Jiraiya saw Nagato, who had become skin and bones, with tubes seemingly sustaining his life behind him.

"So, as expected of Jiraiya-sensei, he discovered the secret of Pain's Six Paths so quickly."

Jiraiya looked at Nagato's miserable appearance: "You've been through a lot, haven't you? Even Yahiko didn't survive."

Nagato shook his head slightly: "But his will has been passed down, in the name of God, and his will will eventually be fulfilled."

Jiraiya's gaze was complicated: "Infinite Tsukuyomi? Such a giant illusion would only allow everyone to do whatever they want in the dream, and in the end, they would all die."

After he finished speaking, the tree hollow remained silent for a long time.

Until Nagato asked, "What is Infinite Tsukuyomi...?"

For a moment, Jiraiya was stunned.

He wasn't surprised that Nagato didn't know about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but rather that Itachi Uchiha knew so much, while Nagato, as the leader of Akatsuki, seemed to be completely different from that masked man.

Is it because of the inscription on the stone tablet beneath the Uchiha Naga Shrine, or because...?

Because of what?

Jiraiya suddenly understood, so it was Itachi who had seen the contents of that stone tablet with his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Yes, that's it.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Nagato raised his head: "The existence of the Five Great Ninja Villages has made it impossible for this world to have true peace. From the Warring States period to the present, there has been no communication between people, only hatred and war."

“These eyes…you once told me that these were the eyes that the Sage of Six Paths once possessed. This is a power that only gods can be born with, and only gods can bring peace to this world!”

As Sage Mode dissipated, Jiraiya frowned.

"They've all grown up... but maybe they've grown up a little unconventionally."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Konan and said, "That little girl from back then has become more and more beautiful."

Konan bowed slightly: "Jiraiya-sensei, Nagato's will is my will. Hand over the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Konoha will be safe."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "As a teacher, when a disciple goes astray, it is my responsibility to straighten him out of his way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fukasaku and Shima toads on his shoulders had absorbed enough natural energy, and then Sage Mode was activated again.

"Shhhhh..."

Countless origami paper transformed into shuriken, hurtling towards Jiraiya.

However, the flames ignited, the origami was burned to ashes, and Jiraiya was able to rush in through the smoke.

"Why do you think...you can stop me, teacher?"

"We should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?"

After saying that, three black rods were thrown out, directly shattering the entrance to the tree hole.

"Om..."

The massive influx of chakra caused the Rasengan to expand instantly.

But the next second, Nagato reached out and absorbed the Giant Rasengan completely!

"Little Jiraiya, the opponent can use the abilities of all six puppets! Ninjutsu will be absorbed, so it's meaningless."

Shimura Gama reminded him.

Jiraiya nodded and instantly withdrew behind him.

However, the next moment, a suction force suddenly appeared, and Jiraiya was also sucked in.

"Shh!"

Several black rods were flung out, and Fukasaku Toad pushed them out with a palm, thus preventing Jiraiya from being hit.

But the next moment, pieces of paper swept down and formed four small pieces of paper, which then rushed towards Jiraiya.

As soon as they got close, their entire bodies burst into flames.

"It's an explosive tag! Run!"

Amidst Fukasaku's exclamation, Jiraiya was already surrounded by paper clones.

With his hands moving swiftly, he formed hand seals, and his long white hair swept over Jiraiya, enveloping him completely.

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosive tag shattered, and strands of white hair fell to the ground.

Jiraiya clicked his tongue, realizing that she had indeed become a very powerful female ninja.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya dodged a paper shuriken and realized that the opponent's will could never be changed.

……

On the battlefield, all six paths of Pain had been destroyed, and the Konoha Jonin team and the Hokage's direct ANBU suffered heavy losses.

The Deva Path was destroyed by Susanoo, and the Preta Path was torn apart by Kakashi's eye technique; now only a head remains.

Before one's strength reaches another level, intelligence is of paramount importance to a ninja.

Even without the information brought back by Jiraiya, Pain alone could have overwhelmed Konoha without giving them a chance to fight back.

However, once Konoha, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, has obtained information about the enemy, it is able to formulate targeted strategies.

"Finally... it's over."

Kakashi felt completely drained; he might not even be able to use his Lightning Release clones anymore.

Sasuke, who was standing next to him, was looking into the distance.
