If possible, Mizuki still hopes to save Jiraiya's life as much as possible.

It's such a shame that such a powerful force had to retire before the Fourth Ninja War.

It’s not just “Shadow” level combat power.

When facing the Rinnegan, Yin-Yang Release and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, apart from the power of the Six Paths, only physical techniques and senjutsu can produce any effect.

Every strong person who can enter the Sage Mode is precious.

He could no longer care about the impact this would have on Nagato and Naruto.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya was determined to make the trip.

We have to think of something, we can't just let it die.

Even with the detailed information about the Rinnegan provided by Mizuki, Jiraiya still couldn't kill Nagato. What's more, Jiraiya didn't seem to have any intention of killing Nagato.

With Jiraiya's level of awareness, there was no way he could defeat Nagato who possessed the Rinnegan.

Some things are really not easy for outsiders to interfere in.

Just like Uchiha Sasuke's revenge would not be accomplished by other people's hands, Jiraiya must also have a sense of mission to save his former disciple.

Shuimu doesn't hate people like this, but sometimes the actions of these guys really make it difficult for a rational person like Shuimu.

With Jiraiya's strength, none of the Six Paths of Pain, except Deva, may be able to defeat Jiraiya.

The power that Shima Sage and Fukasaku Sage can use after joining forces with Jiraiya is too strong. As long as Jiraiya understands the details of Pain's Six Paths, he will not be defeated easily.

But Tiandao is too troublesome. Even if he does not use Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei that consume vitality, Yin-Yang Release is likely to make Jiraiya suffer.

The combined combat power of the Rinnegan Pain's Six Paths far exceeds the sum of the strength of a single Pain. Even if Mizuki and Jiraiya join forces, they may not be able to gain any advantage in the enemy's base, the Land of Rain.

The owner of the Rinnegan is not afraid of rotation battles or group fights, so there is little hope of wearing Nagato out.

No matter how he thought about it, Mizuki felt that it was not a good idea to provoke Nagato in the Rain Country at this time.

"You don't think highly of me? Young man, you underestimate me too much..."

"You're joking. I just think the hope of success is too small!"

Even though he was deceived, no matter what, Nagato's current values ​​and actions are the result of careful consideration. How could they be changed so easily?

"No matter how small the hope is, it's still possible. We should always try! Let's not talk about this anymore..."

Jiraiya pulled out a scroll and handed it to Mizuki.

“Look at this!”

"What's this?"

Shuimu flipped through it casually, and after a moment, his original indifferent attitude disappeared.

"Combined Transformation Technique?"

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

“This is too expensive!”

Mizuki was somewhat shocked by Jiraiya's generosity. This thing was no simple stuff. Compared to the fairy technique that Mizuki did not obtain - the White Stimulus Technique, the thing in the scroll in his hand was more suitable for him.

"Anyway, I've already given you the previous part. With your aptitude, you will understand the key to it sooner or later!"

Mizuki hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Three years ago, when Mizuki was still an insignificant Chunin, he had met Jiraiya a few times and even made a deal with him.

Jiraiya asked Mizuki for a batch of universal potions. I don't know how much he has used so far, but there should be quite a lot left.

At the same time, Mizuki was given a scroll in exchange.

The combined transformation technique is the core content of the scroll.

Shuimu didn't think much about it at the time.

Although I have seen this technique a long time ago, I have never found a good way to use it.

I understand where it is going, but there are so many things that require my attention that I don’t have time to study it in detail.

Although this technique did not help Shuimu much, it gave Shuimu a lot of inspiration and reference later on.

At that time, Jiraiya said that this technique was acquired accidentally during his travels, and Mizuki later realized that it was not simple.

Now, what Jiraiya handed over to Mizuki was the essence of his research over the past few decades, combining fairy techniques, summoning techniques, and joint transformation techniques.

The combined transformation technique is a very broad concept. In the "Konoha Collapse Plan", Gamabunta provided chakra and Uzumaki Naruto formed hand seals to transform into a giant nine-tailed demon fox. Then he took this opportunity to wake up Raito and won.

This example is very typical, but this technique actually has many branches. The most famous one is the Inuzuka family's beast-mimicking ninjutsu.

Inuzuka Kiba's special moves - Two-headed Wave and Three-headed Wolf, are both reused joint transformation techniques.

No matter how useless a technique is, as long as it can be used in a variety of ways, its power will definitely be strong.

The essence of the joint transformation technique is very simple, which is to concentrate the power, produce a qualitative change, and then give full play to the advantages of multiple individuals and become extremely powerful.

Shuimu also studied it briefly, but unfortunately, without a powerful fighting partner such as a summoned beast, this technique could not be fully effective.

As for later, after the Sage Mode was created, the more convenient method of Sage Chakra alienation was mastered, and the combined transformation technique was completely abandoned.

Mizuki had also borrowed some ideas from this technique. Otherwise, using the fairy chakra to transform and generate the characteristics of the summoned beast, or even to ensure the combat power of the tailed beast, would never be so smooth.

In fact, the potential of this technique is definitely more than just this. If there is time, Shuimu still wants to develop it in this area.

The joint transformation technique can be used not only between ninjas and summoned beasts, but also between intelligent beings. It all depends on the level of tacit understanding between the two.

Shuimu had seen many examples of this before.

Orochimaru's subordinates, Sakon and Ukon, are able to split and combine themselves, which is an application of the joint transformation technique. Of course, this may be their bloodline limit, but the general category is definitely not wrong.

In addition, there is a joint transformation combat method that is much more advanced than Sakon and Ukon, that is, Sage Shima and Sage Fukasaku cooperate with Jiraiya to use the Sage Mode, combining the three sages' super powerful combat form.

Although he looked a bit ugly, he was able to be surrounded and beaten by the Six Paths of Pain in an extremely unfavorable environment with no information, and not only killed one of them, but also rescued a body.

In the end, if he hadn't insisted on checking out Payne's true strength, he should have been able to escape successfully.

Mizuki had no reference before, and it was a waste of time to start researching based on the basic version given to him by Jiraiya. It would be better to do something more meaningful.

But having ready-made templates is another matter.

How many people in the ninja world can compare to Mizuki in terms of taking advantage of numbers and coordinating operations?

Thinking of this, Shuimu couldn't help but stroke the cover of the scroll in his hand...
