Chapter 256 Past Events
Jiraiya returned to the dilapidated wooden house and felt a lot of emotion.
The layout and furnishings in the house were all bought up bit by bit by the four people back then. A table, a chair, you can find corresponding stories and bits and pieces of life in them. Always thinking about the prophecy of the big toad sage, Jiraiya was like a prodigal son, running from east to west, from south to north all his life. It was a rare thing for him to be able to stay in this wooden house for three years.
This wooden house carried many of his hopes and expectations. Later, when he heard that Nagato and the other two were dead, he was sad for a long time.
The wooden house is just a stop in his life, but in Xiaonan's heart, it is the warmest and most comfortable home in troubled times.
The scene inside the house became more lively as the two entered, and four human-shaped phantoms wearing green toad dolls appeared before their eyes.
There are one big one and three small ones. The big one is naturally Jiraiya, the teacher, and the small ones are Yahiko, Nagato and Konan.
The three of them had childish faces, while Jiraiya was an older young man with a somewhat funny temperament, who was currently explaining something with an awkward expression.
Ino got involved in this matter because she naturally wanted to see the Rinnegan.
Her eyes turned to Nagato, who was standing with Konan and Yahiko, a younger version of Nagato.
Even if this Rinnegan is just a projection, it doesn’t matter.
Xiaonan looks at this pair of eyes every day, but she cannot see them at night. After all, she has been looking at them for so many years. Relying on her memory, she can catch a hint of the charm of the Rinnegan.
This is the true Eye of the Sage, the result of Madara-sama's seventy years of being single, based on Indra's Chakra, integrated with Ashura's Chakra, and nurtured for most of his life.
There is only one such store, no other branches.
With Uchiha Madara's talent and talent, and the fact that he was the genuine reincarnation of Indra at the time, he spent so many years trying to integrate all things in the universe. It is conceivable how difficult this path was.
The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. The Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan are actually still confined to the mortal world. They are the eyes of mortals. The Rinnegan is different. It is the eye of an immortal.
How big is the gap between mortals and immortals? I can only say that it is bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.
Just from the little bit of the Rinnegan spirit that Ino reflected from Konan's memory, she knew that the gap between Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and Madara's was too huge.
This is not simply accumulating pupil power, nor is it something that can be gathered by fusing Indra Chakra and Asura Chakra. It also involves more and more complex changes.
Ino was thinking secretly, while the four phantoms wearing toad doll clothes in the wooden house were still performing a warm and joyful scene.
It can be seen that even with the Rinnegan, Yahiko is the leader in the three-person team, and Konan and Nagato are both Yahiko's assistants.
This memory has nothing to do with Ino. Forcibly reading it will definitely arouse hostility in Konan's subconscious mind. From her perspective, she cannot hear what the four human-shaped phantoms say.
Jiraiya felt that Ino didn't know about these past events, so he explained them now.
He pointed to the names under the wooden sign and said, "The three of them were once my disciples. I taught them ninjutsu at that time, and then we lived together in this house for about three years.
I told them at the time that the environment in the Rain Country was chaotic and that if they wanted to survive for a long time, they had to have enough survival ability. This wooden sign was the code we agreed on. Just like we had to register when entering and leaving the gate of Konoha, this was the same. The front of the small wooden sign was red, which meant that I was at home, and the back was a small frog pattern on a white background, which meant that I had left.
Jiraiya pointed to the west side of the wall, where there was a lonely little wooden sign: "That one is mine. The little frog over there is me, representing that I have left this wooden house."
His voice trailed off. “I let them down. After I left, I never came back.”
His heart was filled with sadness. At this time, the small wooden sign representing Yahiko in the house had turned over to the red side, which meant that in Konan's heart, Yahiko had returned here, while Nagato and Konan's wooden signs were still out.
Jiraiya guessed this and said to himself: ".This must be Konan's memory, which means Yahiko is dead, or betrayed? It's impossible that Yahiko would not betray them."
He was fully aware of the depth of the bond between Yahiko, Nagato and Konan. They would live and die together and would not betray each other. This was much purer than the friendship between the three ninjas, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade.
"Yahiko is a very ambitious child, and is also good at water escape. And you, Ino-chan? Ino-chan, what are you doing!?"
Jiraiya turned around and found that during the time he was immersed in past memories, Ino had already fought with Konan, who was wearing a black coat with red clouds! This Konan had no face, and only some depressions could be seen where her facial features were. The skin not covered by the black coat with red clouds was covered with fine scales. Her fingernails became quite sharp, and a long tongue sprang out from the middle finger wearing the white tiger ring. There was a circle of barbs of varying lengths inside the tongue, and there was an evil aura all over her body.
Dramatic changes also took place inside the cabin.
The sunlight shining through the hole in the roof became dim, and the surrounding walls were covered with dark green vines. Jiraiya had originally prepared a tunnel leading to the outside for the three of them. Now the tunnel seemed to come alive, like the stomach of a giant insect, bottomless. The entrance of the tunnel turned into a huge mouth, and several rows of sharp teeth like washing machines rotated back and forth and cut inside.
The whole wooden house suddenly became gloomy.
What's going on? How did a nostalgic film suddenly become a thriller?
Jiraiya was able to cooperate with the two great sages of Mount Myoboku to use the Toad Chanting. He himself was skilled in illusion and knew a little bit about Yin Dun, but when it came to mind invasion, he was far less professional than Ino.
At this time, Ino's spirit had not changed much, but Xiaonan might have come into contact with the Outer Path Demon Statue, so the haze in her body carried the resentment from the Ten-Tails, and the quality of this resentment was very high. Fortunately, Ino's Yin Dun level was very high. She squeezed the blackened Xiaonan against the wall, pressed her knees against her lower abdomen, and used her left hand to claw, using the Black Tiger Heart-Digging Move to continuously take out balls of black air like cotton wool from her chest.
Seeing Ino and Konan talking to each other, Jiraiya didn't know what to do: "Um, is that Konan?"
Really? Ino wasn't sure. She guessed that Jiraiya was just reminiscing about the good old days, and this thing rushed in and started fighting with her. She really didn't have time to figure out its true identity.
