The sudden attack surprised Nagato and Konan, but as they were skilled and brave, they did not panic.

As Nagato's chakra surged slightly, Shinra Tensei's repulsive force was released, completely shattering the burning paper tree that was emitting high temperature and heat.

In just a glance, the originally powerful Fire Style Ninjutsu disappeared.

When the sparks and paper pieces floating in the sky completely dissipated and the vision was no longer obstructed, I could finally see the person coming from the opposite side.

A familiar white-haired figure appeared in front of Konan and Nagato, but he no longer had the doting smile he had before. Instead, his face was filled with a cold and murderous look.

"It's really you, Konan, Nagato..."

The tone of grief was palpable.

"Why would you do such a thing?"

Although the two had expected the sudden appearance of the figure, they did not expect to meet again in this place.

There was a hint of hesitation on Xiaonan's face, but he remained silent.

Nagato looked at the figure not far away with an expressionless face.

"Long time no see, Jiraiya-sensei."

"How did you become like this? And how did Yahiko die?"

Nagato's face was pale, and he could no longer be described as skinny. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. He relied on mechanical devices to maintain his life and necessary activities.

Fortunately, the ninja world has the convenient supernatural power of chakra.

"The past is no longer important, Jiraiya-sensei. I am now Pain, who has experienced enough pain in the human world and is about to usher in a new god for this world?"

"Pein? God? I don't remember teaching you to be so arrogant?"

"I don't need anyone's approval. I have the eyes of an immortal and I am destined to save the world!"

"Rescue? In this way? How ridiculous! Because of the war, I had to leave early, causing you to suffer so much, but why didn't you come to Konoha to find me and do such a terrible thing?"

"Konoha?"

Nagato rarely showed a sarcastic smile.

"For God, it doesn't matter where you are! Spreading pain to the ninja world and letting people accept the new world is the most important thing. No matter who it is, anyone who stands in the way must be eliminated, even teacher Jiraiya..."

Seeing that words weren't working, Jiraiya had to give up.

"Although I don't know where you heard those rumors and set your sights on the tailed beasts, I can be sure that you will not succeed. Since you don't listen to my advice, I, as your master, will have to teach you a lesson."

"Do you still want to resort to force, make others feel pain, and then accept your ideas? How is it different from what I am doing now?"

The negotiations were completely unsuccessful.

"Jiraiya, hurry up, it seems that the other party has a deep misunderstanding and will not be persuaded to change his mind with just a few words!"

The sages Fukasaku and Shima have given up the idea of ​​turning hostility into friendship.

Jiraiya knew that the situation could not be solved easily, so he had to start to make hand seals and perform ninjutsu to delay time, which was quite disadvantageous to Jiraiya, because not only was the duration of the Sage Mode limited, but even the spiritual communication time of Shima Sage and Fukasaku Sage was not long.

So, Jiraiya didn't have much time to reminisce about the past with Nagato and Konan.

"Senjutsu·Fire Style·Flame Bullet!"

In Sage Mode, he held the oil in his mouth and spit it out while using Fire Style, a Sage Fire Style that was not inferior to his Kekkei Genkai, and shot towards Konan and Nagato with extremely terrifying high temperature.

Now that the action had already begun, Xiaonan raised his hands and countless pieces of paper flew out from under his sleeves, forming a thick barrier blocking the way in front of him.

"You think it's so easy to block the immortal technique?"

Naturally, fairy arts are difficult to resist. Even ordinary escapism techniques mixed with natural energy are not easy to deal with, let alone this kind of mixed escapism technique that has been refined through thousands of trials and tribulations and is performed after adding fairy chakra, which is even more difficult to resist.

However, Xiaonan didn't want to completely resist this magic, he just wanted to buy some time at this time, as he was not the only one on his side.

Sure enough, although paper ninjutsu could not resist fairy techniques, with Nagato's presence and the cooperation of Shinra Tensei, Konan and Nagato were completely unharmed.

"Is this the ninjutsu that can deflect everything? It's really hard to deal with!"

Jiraiya already knew the information about Pain's Six Paths of Ninjutsu. Since the clones could use the Bloodline Limit Technique, there was no reason why the original body couldn't.

After all, Nagato's method of using the power of the Rinnegan using the Six Paths of Pain was just a crooked way of using it to project power over long distances because his original body was too weak.

Modifying human corpses and using them as puppets does not seem like something a normal person would do.

Konan and Nagato's ways of dealing with the situation did not stop there. A huge paper bird took shape, carrying the disabled Nagato and slowly taking off. At the same time, long wings made of paper extended from Konan's back and slowly flapped like an angel.

"God and angel, Nagato, it seems that you are really very sick and are going further and further down the wrong path."

Jiraiya watched the two people's actions in surprise. When they were about to get close, a large piece of paper shuriken shot out from Konan's hand, blocking Jiraiya's progress.

"Immortal Technique - Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya's long white hair instantly hardened and then shot out with force as fast as a storm, dealing a fatal blow to the opponent.

This magic technique is the fastest and has the widest attack range among all of Jiraiya's techniques.

And while releasing the hair needles, the two great sages activated Jiraiya's hair roots, making unlimited continuous shooting possible.

"It's too late, Jiraiya-sensei."

Nagato waved his bony hand with difficulty, the ground cracked, and a thick earth wall was erected between Nagato, Konan and Jiraiya. The thousand needles with extremely strong penetrating power pierced deeply into the earth wall.

The attack was swift, but did not cause any damage to the enemy. Jiraiya could only watch the paper bird carrying Konan and Nagato fly into the sky.

"You are too arrogant, Jiraiya-sensei. You want to challenge the Rinnegan by yourself. You are still as naive as before!"

Even if Jiraiya has thousands of ninjutsu, no matter how comprehensive they are, there is one ability he does not have, and that is flying.

If there were still people who did not pay much attention to this ability in the past, there was Deidara's flying clay puppet in the front and Mizuki who made full use of the advantages of flying in the back, teaching the ninjas a good lesson on how difficult it is to deal with a ninja who has mastered air supremacy.

We can attack or defend, but if there is no ninja who can also fly to support us...

"This is getting bad, Jiraiya!"
