Chapter 505 Narrow Dreams
When Jiraiya blended into the shadow of the person who was ready in the house, the person's eyes, which were originally closed, slowly opened, and then he skillfully picked up the umbrella in the corner, opened it, and went out.
Toad Shadow Control Jutsu: After infusing the opponent's shadow with chakra, the caster's own body becomes extremely thin and merges with the opponent's shadow, controlling the opponent's mind and body for a period of time, and even controlling the opponent to communicate. The caster must hold their breath during the jutsu. Once they breathe, the jutsu automatically dissolves and the caster's body returns to its original form.
This is Jiraiya's stealth skill. Under normal circumstances, Jiraiya's trick cannot be hidden from the Animal Path Pain. After all, no matter what, this is the Rinnegan, even if it is just a reflection of the pupil power.
But here I have to say a but
However, what Jiraiya is performing now is not the ordinary Toad Shadow Control Technique, but the Senjutsu - Toad Shadow Control Technique!
Sage Mode is composed of natural energy, and integrating into nature is a very basic ability of Sage Mode, but few people use it.
At this time, Jiraiya strengthened his ability in this area, making the concealment ability of the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique even better, so that it could deceive the Animal Path Pain who passed over his head.
“Huh~”
And when the Animal Path passed above the puppet controlled by Jiraiya, he and the two sages keenly discovered the faint chakra on the black stick on its body!
'Little Jiraiya!'
"Yes, I sensed it. Let's go. The enemy is at the end. Let me tell you their intelligence first. These are Pains. They are all corpses."
In this way, Jiraiya shared information with the two great sages while sneaking towards where Nagato was. Along the way, he secretly changed more than a dozen Rain Ninjas without revealing any suspicious points.
One can imagine how they sneak around!
However, Nagato and his companions had used similar methods to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village and assassinate Hanzo, so they would naturally take precautions against this.
The closer you get to the center of the village, the fewer people there are.
In the face of this situation, no matter how high Jiraiya's stealth skills were, he could not avoid being exposed in the end. So when Jiraiya turned a corner with a rain ninja, he could not help but stop.
At this moment, in front of him, seven figures were standing quietly, namely Six Paths of Pain led by Hanzo and Konan.
"Teacher Jiraiya, long time no see."
After a pause, Jiraiya emerged from the shadows. "Yeah, long time no see, Konan, can you tell me what happened? How did you..."
Looking at Jiraiya who stopped talking halfway, Xiaonan shook her head. She knew what Jiraiya wanted to say, which was nothing more than why it became like this and where Yahiko was.
"Tick-tick-tick~"
"Let me tell you, Jiraiya-sensei"
"Tell me what, Nagato." Looking at the young man who was slowly walking out of the shadows in front of him, Jiraiya's pupils shrank under his eye shadow. With this kind of aura, even his Sage Mode might not be able to defeat him!
"Why did we become like this, and what were we doing? That's what I want to tell Jiraiya-sensei. As for Yahiko, I'm sorry to disappoint you. He didn't go on any mission. He died."
Looking at the calm young man before him, a sense of sadness began to spread in Jiraiya's heart. What on earth had Nagato experienced to be able to say this so calmly?
Looking at Jiraiya's expression, Nagato knew what he was thinking and shook his head gently: "Teacher Jiraiya, don't blame yourself. Our experience has nothing to do with you. After all, you are just one person and cannot fight against the whole world."
Although he was sad, Jiraiya was not a sentimental person. He quickly suppressed his sadness and looked at Nagato seriously and asked:
"Then why did you do this? I don't think Yahiko founded Akatsuki just to let you do this!"
"That kind of thing? Jiraiya-sensei, I don't really understand. I'm just fulfilling Yahiko's dream."
"Don't be ridiculous, Yahiko's dream isn't something built on the suffering of others!"
"Oh? Looks like Jiraiya-sensei knows our plan."
"You are merely relying on your immense power to intimidate the nations. Nagato, your approach is unacceptable. Hatred will ultimately breed nothing but hatred!"
Looking at Jiraiya, who was scolding him at the top of his lungs, Nagato sighed, a glimmer in his eyes, and his body slowly rose into the air.
"You are wrong, Jiraiya-sensei. As long as I am strong enough, I can kill all hatred! Only after people have tasted enough pain will they cherish the hard-earned peace!"
As he said this, Nagato laughed sarcastically, "Besides, Jiraiya-sensei, who do you think is responsible for the current situation?"
Suddenly, Nagato's expression turned stern: "It's you, Konoha! If your first Hokage had directly led the Land of Fire to dominate the ninja world instead of implementing the one-country-one-village system, then none of this would have happened!
If you had forcefully counterattacked the four major nations in the previous battle instead of signing any peace treaty, everything in the Akatsuki organization would now belong to you, Konoha!
Therefore, if it weren't for your inaction in Konoha, the Ninja World would never be like this!!!"
Looking up at Nagato in the sky, Jiraiya sighed: "Nagato, many things are not what you think."
"So let's do as I say! Goodbye, Jiraiya-sensei."
"Ah~Bang!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Nagato, Jiraiya exerted his strength and destroyed Hell Path Pain first. Then Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Konan: "Konan, turn back! There are a lot of things here, and there are still many things you don't understand! Don't make any more mistakes!"
"Crash~"
Xiaonan lowered his eyes, and the whole person turned into a sky full of papers and retreated: "Then there is no need to understand."
"you."
"Little Jiraiya, don't be distracted, defeat them first!"
Just when Jiraiya was about to continue persuading them, Fukasaku Sage interrupted him and said, Nagato's goodbye does not mean evacuation!
The loss of just one Hell Realm will not have much impact on their combat effectiveness.
After hearing Sennin Fukasaku's reminder, Jiraiya glanced at the situation around him, sighed again, and refocused his attention on the battle.
The words he just said were not fabricated to persuade Nagato and the others to turn back.
Indeed, what Nagato said was right. Konoha had several opportunities to pacify the ninja world in one fell swoop and completely end the situation of war among multiple countries, but that was by no means easy.
Maybe in the era of the first generation, he and Madara could conquer the whole world, but what about after that?
Without fighting, there would be no need for ninjas to exist. What would happen to the countless ninja clans?
It's very simple. Hashirama and Madara will die eventually, and then the situation will return to the Warring States period, unless Hashirama and his men kill all the ninjas, but this is impossible.
The situations in the three previous wars were similar. If Konoha had fought hard, it would have certainly been able to wipe out the ninja world, but at that time, Konoha was not far from destruction.
Nagato didn't realize that what is more important than conquering the world is to keep the world!
However, defending the world is by no means an easy task, and he is not very clear about the specific operations. But just looking at the series of plans formulated by Minato and the daimyo, he is completely overwhelmed. Many things in them are simply beyond the ninja's understanding.
This is just the preparation for defending the world. The real defense of the world must wait until the world is conquered and slowly prepared. This is still a long way to go in Shilang and his team's plan.
