Chapter 85 Main Quest 6: Jiraiya is urged to update
After the real body of Shingon took Itachi and Sasuke to visit relatives on the moon, the shadow clone left behind landed on the forum.
The latest comic content first uses two pictures to explain the tit-for-tat confrontation between the temporary worker and the black shadow, and then the verbal confrontation between the two leads to the real battle between Itachi and Sasuke.
The battle between Itachi and Sasuke ended with two pictures.
One is Sasuke pointing his sword at Itachi's forehead and saying: [It's over.]
The other was Sasuke leaning on Uchiha Cangaki in a daze.
[There is a feeling that there is something unfinished. What is the truth behind the extinction of the Uchiha clan?]
[Looking at Itachi's expression, I feel there is something else behind the extermination of the clan]
[I feel the same way, want to see the next update]
[I find it very strange. In the previous Night of the Extinction, Black Shadow and Itachi should have known each other. Why did Black Shadow stand on Sasuke's side when they met this time?]
[Knowing each other doesn’t mean we are partners]
[Looking at the argument between the black shadow and the leader, the two must have a grudge against each other]
[Because of hatred, each of them trained an Uchiha and let the two Uchiha duel?]
[Uchiha Guo Jing and Uchiha Yang Kang (dog head.jpg)]
[I laughed so hard, it felt like I was on the set of Ninja Heroes]
[Although it's a bit funny, I think it's true. In order to make Itachi and Sasuke turn against each other, they planned to destroy the clan.]
[Fuck, if that's true, then was the extinction of the clan planned by Black Shadow or the leader?]
[I guess it was the shadow, after all, the shadow was there at the time]
[The leader is also a possibility. The shadow may have been plotted by the leader.]
[I think it was a conspiracy between the two of them to exterminate the clan]
[So both of them are evil people]
The comic reader's ability to fill in the blanks with his imagination is like the comic writer's ability to capture the angles, which is always beyond the manga's expectations.
This time everyone's attention has shifted away from the CP, but his two prototypes have become evil people who are in cahoots with each other...
Shadow clone Mana did not explain online, but left the forum because he, like the original, believed that facts speak louder than words.
Konoha has already begun investigating Danzo Shimura, and the Uchiha clan extermination incident will surely be involved. Shinon believes that it won't be long before the truth is revealed.
...
On the other side, on the moon far away from the Ninja Realm, Itachi and Sasuke reunited with their families, heard about Otsutsuki Kaguya, and also learned what Shingon wanted to do.
Itachi has always believed in the truth, and this time is no exception. Itachi still believes in the truth's choice.
But this time, Itachi couldn't support the truth with action because Itachi decided to stay on the moon.
Shingon was very surprised because he didn't want Itachi to stay on the moon this time. Although the mission required it, Shingon felt that as long as Itachi stopped participating in the actions of the Akatsuki organization and avoided appearing in the main storyline, there shouldn't be much deviation rate left.
Itachi didn't explain much, just said simply: "I want to stay in the family."
Once between the family and the village, Itachi chose the village. This time he wanted to stay as a member of the Uchiha clan and do something for the family.
"Itachi..." Zhenyan heard the unfinished meaning in Itachi's words. He looked at Itachi and remembered that they were only seven years old when they first met.
Since the age of seven, Itachi has been the Uchiha Itachi of the village, the Uchiha Itachi of the younger brother, and now he wants to be the Uchiha Itachi of the family.
At this moment, Shinyan wanted to tell Itachi to "be yourself", but his words were drowned out by Itachi's calm eyes. Shinyan looked into Itachi's eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Itachi, practice table tennis well, the future championship of our family depends on you."
Itachi: “…………”
There were three of us when we came, but only two of us left.
Originally, Sasuke also wanted to stay on the moon, but neither Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku, nor Mikoto wanted Sasuke to be tied down by his family. They hoped that Sasuke could spread his wings and soar in a wider world.
So Sasuke finally returned to the ninja world with Shingon.
After returning to the Ninja World, the two first used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Orochimaru's base.
When Hakuzetsu, who stayed in Orochimaru's base, heard that Shingon had returned, he immediately came to inform Shingon that something had happened in the Akatsuki organization. Jiraiya, who was investigating in the Akatsuki organization, ran into Pain, and the two sides started fighting.
"Where is the shadow clone?" Zhenyan asked first. He left the shadow clone behind before leaving.
"The shadow clone is now under surveillance by the Xiao Organization." Bai Jue reported, "But the shadow clone said that the fight between the two sides was very intense, and he was afraid that he would be accidentally injured and exploded, so he wanted you to go as well."
"I understand." After saying this, Zhenyan launched the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Ever since he knew about the master-disciple relationship between Jiraiya and Nagato, Shingon had a premonition that such a day would come. He was not too worried before because of Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya joined forces. Even if the two of them clashed with the Akatsuki organization and could not defeat them, Minato Namikaze could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Jiraiya away.
However, this accident happened suddenly, and Minato Namikaze was not in the Hidden Rain Village at that time.
In order to track down the Akatsuki organization, Minato Namikaze needs to travel around the ninja world frequently, and most of the investigation of alien ruins is handed over to Kushina. After so many years of interpreting the runes of various ruins, Kushina has mastered a lot of information.
Not long ago, Kushina found the remaining roots of a sacred tree based on the runes she deciphered.
Because of this discovery, Minato Namikaze temporarily left the Hidden Rain Village to investigate the matter of the sacred tree.
So now Jiraiya is the only one in the Akatsuki organization.
The battle between Jiraiya and Pain is part of the main storyline. Shingon cannot directly intervene in the battle between the two sides, but he can go to see Nagato, who controls the Six Paths Pain behind the scenes.
Convincing Nagato was the method Shingon came up with in order to both save Jiraiya and complete the mission.
Shingon directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport. Since Itachi stayed on the moon, this time he was tracking the mark on Obito's body.
After teleporting over, Zhenyan blinked first. He looked at the shirtless man in front of him and asked subconsciously, "Who are you?"
The person he was questioning had no idea that the truth would suddenly come out, and was completely confused.
Zhenyan looked the man in front of him up and down, and then looked next to him. Next to him was a pile of clothes. The clothes were the uniforms of the Akatsuki organization, and on top of them was an orange vortex mask...
Seeing the mask, Shingon finally realized that the person in front of him was Obito who had taken off the mask...
Zhenyan hurried to figure out the identity of the person in front of him. He waved his hand as a greeting and turned to walk towards the door.
But when he walked to the door, Shingon couldn't help but look back. He looked at Obito's face and said with a smile, "Brother Obito, you are very handsome." After that, he lowered his eyes and looked at Obito's abdominal muscles, and said, "You have a great body too."
"Uchiha Shingon!" Obito, who reacted belatedly, gritted his teeth, but Shingon had already left.
Shingon came to see Nagato, but was stopped by Konan.
"Sister Konan." Zhenyan said, "Please let me meet Brother Nagato."
"Teacher Jiraiya cannot agree with the peace organized by Akatsuki." Konan said.
The last time Shingon came to see Nagato, he persuaded Nagato not to take action against Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze for the time being, and agreed that the two of them should stay in the Hidden Rain Village.
But just a while ago, Jiraiya ran into Tendo Pain and recognized Yahiko. After the two sides talked, Jiraiya learned what Nagato was going to do and he could not agree with it.
Because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya once taught Nagato as the son of the prophecy. Now that he sees his disciple going astray, Jiraiya cannot just sit there and do nothing.
The two sides are fighting this time because of their different concepts of peace.
Jiraiya and Nagato are fighting for their own ideals of peace. In the current situation, unless one side can be persuaded to give up its ideals, the fight will not stop. Even if they are persuaded this time, there will be a next time.
"Then let me take Uncle Laiye away." Zhenyan said.
The situations of Jiraiya and Itachi are different. Shingon was able to convince Itachi not to get involved in the affairs of the Akatsuki organization, thus avoiding him from appearing in the main storyline later.
But Jiraiya is obviously not someone who will listen to advice. If Shingon wants to complete the main mission this time, he can only take Jiraiya away first.
"Where are you taking Teacher Jiraiya?" Konan asked consciously.
"Let me see Nagato-san first." Shingen said. He was afraid that if it was any later, the battle between Jiraiya and Pain would be over.
Xiaonan looked at Zhenyan, and the two looked at each other in the narrow passage. The light in the building was a little dim, but Xiaonan still saw the sincerity in Zhenyan's eyes.
Xiaonan had seen Zhenyan take action before, and she knew that she could not stop Zhenyan, but Zhenyan still stopped in front of her. Xiaonan knew what this meant, that Zhenyan was expressing his trust with his actions.
Zhenyan believes that she will make way...
Xiaonan couldn't help but smile bitterly. She really couldn't stop people. Whether in behavior or in thought, she couldn't stop the truth...
Xiaonan looked at Zhenyan's back as he left. She couldn't help but think in her heart: "Nagato, perhaps the Akatsuki organization could choose another path..."
Shingon saw Nagato and said, "Let me take Uncle Raiya away."
Perhaps because he was distracted by controlling Six Paths Pain, Nagato did not respond immediately. He slowly turned his head to look at Shingon. His Rinnegan, covered with circles, always gave people a sense of otherworldly coldness.
After a long while, Nagato spoke up: "Are you on their side?"
Zhenyan shook his head: "I just think that even if mature adults can't sit down and talk calmly, they shouldn't fight all day long."
Nagato: “…………”
Nagato looked at Shingon and spoke slowly, as if the signal was delayed, "Teacher Jiraiya will not give up."
Nagato understood Jiraiya, he knew what kind of person his teacher was. Since Jiraiya could not agree with his concept of peace, he would definitely stop him to the end. And he would not give up his pursuit of peace easily just because the person who stopped him was his former teacher.
So today, they are fighting with the determination to kill each other.
"I won't give up either." Nagato added.
"Yes." Zhenyan nodded, indicating that he already understood. "I didn't ask you to give up. I just said, can we separate?"
Nagato: “…………”
Shingon knew that all ninjas had their own personalities, and each followed a different way of Ninja. He admired every ninja who adhered to his own way of Ninja, but sometimes, conflicts between different ways of Ninja could be quite distressing.
"Can't we all split up and go our separate ways?" Shingon couldn't help but ask. "Teacher Jiraiya won't give up." Nagato probably had to focus on the battle outside, so he simply repeated what he had just said, as a reply to Shingon.
"I will take the person away." Shingon said to Nagato.
"Teacher Jiraiya will not give up." Nagato repeated this sentence for the third time.
"That's why I said to take the person away." Zhenyan repeated.
"Sensei Jiraiya won't give up."
“…………”
Konan, who was standing guard outside the door, couldn't stand listening any longer. She walked in and translated for the two of them: "Nagato meant that Jiraiya-sensei would not give up. Even if he left temporarily, he would come back."
"Ah..." Shingon suddenly realized that Nagato was worried about this. He opened his Sharingan and opened a portal in the room in front of him. Then he said to Nagato, "I will take Uncle Raiya to another space and I will not come back."
Shingon understood Jiraiya's temper. He knew that it would be difficult to get Jiraiya to avoid the main storyline on his own initiative, so he could only arrange Jiraiya to another space before the main storyline ended.
Although the moon is more stable, it is full of Uchiha people, and Jiraiya might have difficulty integrating there. So after consideration, Shingon decided to arrange Jiraiya to the grandmother's starting space.
Seeing the portal opened by Zhenyan, Nagato couldn't help but reveal surprise on his expressionless face. This time he did not repeat what he had just said, but fell silent.
"My shadow clone is outside. Let my shadow clone take the person away." Zhenyan said again.
Nagato's gaze shifted from the portal to Shingo's face. Facing Shingo's frank gaze, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your purpose?"
Zhenyan thought for a moment and said, "Hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine."
Nagato: “…………”
"Nagato." Konan spoke at this time.
Nagato looked at Konan. They grew up together. With just one glance, Nagato understood what Konan meant.
Nagato was not unaware of the changes in the Xiao organization over the years, but he did not expect that Konan was also affected by the truth.
"Nagato." Konan spoke again. She didn't want to see Nagato and Jiraiya continue fighting. They had already lost enough.
Nagato Mubara's eyes suddenly trembled a little, and his gaze fell on the portal opened by Shingon. After a long time, which seemed to be a very short time, he said: "Don't let Jiraiya-sensei destroy the plan of the Akatsuki organization..."
Zhenyan smiled and said, "The Xiao organization's plan will not be destroyed by anyone."
In the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya was already in a very desperate situation under the siege of Six Paths of Pain. Even the Shadow Clone Shingon, who was watching the fight secretly, couldn't help but intervene because he was afraid that if he continued fighting, he would be killed.
Just when the shadow clone was feeling conflicted, Tendo Pain suddenly used Shinra Tensei, using his repulsive force to push Jiraiya into the inner sea of the Hidden Rain Village, preventing Jiraiya from continuing to entangle.
Tendo Pain took one last look at the place where the shadow clone was hiding, then turned around and left with the rest of the Pains without looking back.
The shadow clone understood that it must be the original who convinced Nagato, and he did not hesitate and dived into the sea. After seeing Jiraiya's figure, the shadow clone directly opened a portal on the seabed and transferred Jiraiya to the starting sphere space.
After temporarily settling Jiraiya down, the shadow clone released itself.
Zhenyan received the memory of the shadow clone, and he was ready to deal with the follow-up matters, but before leaving he took out "The Legend of Perseverance".
"This is the debut work of Uncle Kuraya," said Shinge. "I really like what the protagonist said in the book - what is more important than methods is the power of faith."
"Brother Nagato, it seems that you value methods more now." Shingon stepped forward and handed the book in his hand to Nagato.
Nagato seemed to have received something weighing a thousand pounds, and he was completely stunned by the book in his hands.
Shingon didn't say anything else and just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
As early as when the roots of the sacred tree were discovered, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze returned to Konoha and reported the situation to Tsuna.
Before leaving Konoha again, Jiraiya met with Tsuna alone. Jiraiya talked about the in-depth investigation of the Akatsuki organization, and his words revealed his concerns about the future.
Tsunade heard it. As the Hokage, she should put the village first. She couldn't say anything that would make Jiraiya give up. As a friend, she understood Jiraiya and knew that Jiraiya would not give up easily. And as herself, her personality also prevented her from saying those hypocritical words to keep him.
So when the sun was setting and his friend was about to leave, the gambling Tsunade made a bet with Jiraiya.
A gambler who always loses will never come back alive.
At this moment, the news of Jiraiya's disappearance came to Konoha along with a rain. The raindrops fell densely, falling on the Hokage Building, on Naruto's shoulders, on the pages of the book in Kakashi's hands, and on every corner of Konoha Village...
Shinon was holding an umbrella with a stack of manuscript paper in his arms. He looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered that it was raining when the Third Hokage died.
Out of curiosity, Shingon once read the Konoha Ninja Code, and he was deeply impressed by Article 25:
Ninjas must not show their emotions under any circumstances, and their mission is the most important thing. They must not cry no matter what. *
Ninjas cannot shed tears, but the ninja world seems to like rain.
Zhenyan retracted his gaze and continued forward.
In the starting space, Jiraiya, who was unconscious due to injuries and spitting water, woke up. His first reaction was that he was dead, but soon the pain in his body brought him back to reality.
Recalling what happened before, Jiraiya sat up suddenly. What appeared before his eyes was a vast space and a black-haired boy wearing an orange vortex mask.
"It's you..." Jiraiya recognized the person in front of him. He and Minato Namikaze had guessed that Shingen was the leader of the Akatsuki organization, but after seeing Pain, he became uncertain again.
Thinking of the figure that swam towards him when he fell into the water, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "You saved me?"
"Who are you?"
Shingon did not answer Jiraiya's question, but put a stack of manuscripts in front of Jiraiya and said, "Your novel is not finished yet, write quickly and don't let the readers wait too long."
Jiraiya: “…………”
Jiraiya glanced at the manuscript paper piled in front of him, then looked at the person in front of him.
Although Shingo was wearing a mask, Jiraiya could tell from his urging tone that he was not joking.
For a moment, Jiraiya suspected that he was kidnapped by a crazy fan...
Jiraiya stared at the mask on Shingon's face for a long time. He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said in his usual lazy and frivolous tone: "I am now injured."
"You can still use your hands, right?" Zhenyan was like a ruthless urging machine. He handed the pen to her and said, "Don't eat until you finish writing."
Jiraiya: “…………”
Jiraiya's eyes moved down to Shin's hand. He looked at Shin's hand and suddenly said, "Your hand... doesn't look like a ninja's hand..."
Ninjas practice shurikens all year round, so there is usually a thin layer of scars on their fingertips, and it is inevitable that they will have some scars from daily battles.
But the hand of Shingen in front of him did not show any trace of ninja.
"I've said it before, I'm an ordinary person." Zhenyan said.
Shingon's words reminded Jiraiya of the first time they met, when Shingon did say that he was an ordinary person.
When Jiraiya heard this for the first time, he didn't believe it at all. But now, Jiraiya recalled that meeting. Shingon had clearly controlled them, but did not stop him from passing on the message. Now it seems that Shingon's behavior was indeed very unkind.
Jiraiya took the pen handed to him by Shingon, turned it around in his hand, and asked Shingon, "Aren't you afraid that I will pass a secret code in the manuscript?"
"Is this the point?" Zhenyan said.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Then what's the point?"
Zhenyan was deeply distressed: "Do you know how much harm it will cause to readers if you stop updating?"
Jiraiya: “…………”!
