Even with his father's advice, Sasuke couldn't let go of his grudge.
However, seeing the sad silence of Lao Li's blind brother, Sasuke still felt a pain in his heart. This pain lasted for a long time.
It took so long that both Nagato and Obito felt something was wrong.
"strangeness!"
In the High Tower of the Kingdom of Rain, Nagato, who was making six puppets, felt a little uneasy, so he sent a certain number of people to Konoha to find out the news.
Although the combination of Itachi and Kisame has always been more reliable than other combinations, but somehow, my instinct always felt that they would encounter some risks on this trip.
Nagato's subordinates are not only the Akatsuki organization, he also has a huge Rain Country. After all, he is also a person who can speak both black and white and make use of power.
After dispatching the ninjas, Konan, the angel from the Land of Rain, came to Nagato.
"What happened, Nagato? Do you think Itachi and Kisame may be in danger, so you want me to send someone to investigate?"
"That's right."
Looking at the worried Konan, Nagato sighed and continued.
"Recently, I always feel like something is wrong, and my eyes occasionally hurt.
In the past few days, Jue rarely provided us with information. The amount of information he gave was about 20% less than in the past, but he didn't seem to feel it.
On the other hand, Konoha was originally the largest ninja village in the ninja world. Even if they are now out of business, and even if they have just suffered a surprise attack from Orochimaru, they may not be in despair.
Although Itachi and Kisame are not weak in strength, if they encounter Jiraiya-sensei, it may be difficult for them to escape intact.
In short, I am God. When I feel uneasy, I will send someone to take a look.
If there is an accident, we have to say that we may have to start our actions in advance!"
"But my detonating talisman is not ready yet, Uchiha Madara..."
"That must not be Uchiha Madara, don't mention that name.
He thought I couldn't see it, but wasn't his pretentious look exactly the same as ours back then?
I'm afraid that man is younger than us. He is just pretending to be serious. Looking at him, I think of myself who just lost Yahiko. The reason why I am willing to cooperate with him is because he is also a person with sadness and hatred.
, just like us!
Preparing for him is necessary, but not mandatory. Continue to prepare the detonating talisman, but don't take it as the main thing.
Organize the Rain Kingdom and protect your own safety is the top priority.
Xiaonan, you have lost weight over the years..."
"I've just grown up, otherwise I would still have baby fat, Nagato.
Don’t always think of you as your brother, I also thought that I was your sister!”
"Oh, indeed, this is really good.
When the world is completely peaceful, I will call you sister again, Xiaonan.
As for now, do what you need to do now..., wait!"
Suddenly, Nagato's brows twitched sharply.
There is always rain falling from the sky in the Land of Rain, which is mixed with the Rain Tiger Free Technique developed by Nagato, and Nagato also uses this method to monitor the entire Land of Rain at all times.
Now, Nagato feels that someone has invaded the Land of Rain.
The intruders were two people, each of them had very large chakra, and most importantly, each of them had a familiar feeling!
One of them, I can feel, is my teacher back then, Jiraiya!
And the other….
The other person I shouldn't be familiar with, but I just feel that his chakra is just like my own?!
etc!
Suddenly, Nagato's heart beat heavily.
This feeling is not that his chakra is like his, but that his chakra is like him!!!
…
At the same time, on the paths around the Kingdom of Rain.
Madara and Jiraiya walked towards the Land of Rain in silence despite the rain.
When they vaguely saw the buildings of the Rain Country through the forest, Jiraiya finally couldn't help but speak.
"Madara-senpai!"
he said sadly.
"If Lord Gawain hadn't given me the information, I really wouldn't have known that one of the disciples I accepted in the Land of Rain was actually your... dark child left in the ninja world!
Fortunately, I thought I had the same eyes as the Six Paths Immortal, but it turned out to be your eyes!
You are really... hiding everything!"
"snort!"
Faced with Jiraiya's dissatisfied ridicule, Madara ignored him with disdain.
"Stop talking nonsense, I did have my own plans in the past, but those plans have been proven to be a piece of rubbish mixed with conspiracy and deception!
In short, for Gawain's sake, I will try my best to give you some face and spare your disciple's life.
But no matter what, I must get my eyes back. Only my real eyes can make me truly harmonious!"
"cut!"
Listening to Uchiha Madara's words, Jiraiya made a sound of disdain.
Who is he? He is Jiraiya!
Even if he is facing the famous and powerful Uchiha Madara, as long as he is dissatisfied, he will not have any respectful attitude!
If it were the first and second generation Hokage, Jiraiya would of course remain respectful, but no matter what, Madara is still a rebellious ninja!
And most importantly….
There is no respect at all in Madara's words. The people he framed and deceived a long time ago are his disciples after all!
For the sake of his disciples, even if Jiraiya died in Madara's hands, how could he be unwilling at all?
"After all, you are doing things that hurt my disciples, senior!
Since as a perpetrator, no matter what the reasons are, you should not consider causing greater harm to the victim!"
While talking, Jiraiya was worried that Madara would not listen to his suggestions because he was a soft-spoken person.
So he lowered his eyebrows and continued.
"You know, Lord Gawain and I introduced my disciples. After putting aside their own answers that were temporarily inconsistent with Konoha, they all have talents that Lord Gawain can appreciate!
I have recommended them in front of Lord Gawain. No matter what, they should become my new force in Konoha!
So, Madara-senpai!
I hope you can remember Lord Gawain’s order, focus on absorbing talents, and retrieve eyes as a supplement, and be sure not to harm them!”
"snort!"
Madara frowned in displeasure.
"Master Gawain is one mouthful. This is the descendant that Konoha Village can look forward to. He is the good disciple of the evil Tobirama. He is also the so-called shameful brat who was rated as a Sannin after being defeated by the enemy!
Never question my decision, junior!"
Madara spoke dissatisfiedly, and at the same time, he reached out and pointed at his eyes.
I saw him pressing his fingers on his eyelids and saying.
"Don't you always talk about Gawain? Well, I must remind you!
Nowadays, Hashirama and I are the most powerful talents under Gawain!
And when I get my eyes back, I will surpass Hashirama and become Gawain's most important talent!
Your disciple only uses my eyes to have the power he has now. What do you think is the difference between him and me, and what is the difference between his and my status in Gawain's eyes?
As for the most important thing... it is..."
Having said this, Madara suddenly felt a little ashamed, but that was indeed a fact. Jue had already proved a lot of things to himself, and the ancestors of the three great immortal lands that had existed a thousand years ago had also stood up and proved it.
Anyway, I saw him continue talking.
"The most important thing is that after all, I am the grandson of that ancestor, my own grandson!
Even if I am reincarnated, my soul will still be imbued with the aura of the Gao family, and my chakra will also contain the inheritance of my ancestors!
With such a difference, do you think Gawain would be more interested in your disciples?
Even this is not actually the most important thing. The most important thing is that I have no intention of killing them again!
The question now is, what attitude will they take when facing the arrival of me and you?
If they just stubbornly resist, I may take action to suppress them, but if they are so talented that I have to use all my strength to deal with them, then you'd better pray that they can survive in front of my full strength!
After all, if you hit me to a certain extent, I won’t be able to hold back!”
After the words fell, Madara glared at Jiraiya fiercely.
Jiraiya pushed back without hesitation.
I have missed those three disciples for a long, long time. Now that my life has been perfected, I just want to give them what I should give them.
Back then, I suffered a major blow in the Land of Rain. I, Tsunade, and thousands of Konoha ninjas led by Orochimaru. In the end, only myself, Tsunade, and Jiraiya survived, and they were even killed by the damned
The enemy gave him the shameful name of Sannin.
At that time, facing the appeals of the three disciples Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, I had no face to respond!
What are the three disciples pursuing?
Although I only taught them for a year and a half, I laid the most basic theories for them.
But how could he not know that although the three of them were not big, they were devoted to the pursuit of freeing the Land of Rain from Hanzo's control.
They want to completely defeat the ninja demigod!
As a master, I have no strength to help my disciples. I and my classmates, the Sannin, were beaten to the point of collapse by Hanzo.
In front of the squad leader's skillful water and fire escape technique, the teleportation technique that far surpasses Shunshen Shisui, the katana Iai sword technique that can rival or even surpass Sakumo, and especially Hanzo's fearsome poison technique, the three of them and
Hanzo's fight was just like fighting with Minato, Sakumo, and Chiyo from Suna Ninja Village, there was no way around it!
Can the three ninjas work together to beat the training of Minato, Sakumo and Chiyo?
If they were in their prime, then the three of them would definitely win. After all, both Minato and Sakumo died before they reached their peak, and Chiyo's peak was nothing more than that, an ordinary Kage level.
But at that age of the Sannin, if the three of them fought against Minato and Sakumo, they would definitely lose miserably, because Minato and Sakumo's fighting style was not a traditional ninja at all.
Minato and Sakumo both rely on their super high mobility to fight ninjas. Rather than saying that they are proficient in ninjutsu, in fact, they are not mainly ninjutsu in their bones.
Sakumo is proficient in chakra swordsmanship and is good at using his fierce speed to control sword fighting.
As for Minato, his main ninjutsu is the instant Muji ninjutsu Rasengan developed to match his super fast movement speed.
And Rasengan.
Rather than saying it is a ninjutsu, it is better to say it is a palm technique. You can win by pushing your palm and slapping it.
When a traditional ninja like the Sannin encounters this type of ninja, it will definitely be difficult to fight, because the extremely high speed and aggressiveness essentially restrain a large number of relatively slow-acting seal ninjutsu...
At that time, none of the three ninjas had the series of secret techniques that they later mastered.
At that time, Jiraiya didn't even know senjutsu.
Back then, Jiraiya was unable to give his disciples the future they wanted, so he left humbly, never daring to face his disciples again.
But you see, even Yahiko, who did not have the Rinnegan, later became a ninja at least at the elite jounin level at a very young age. Konan even developed his own paper escape ninjutsu, and these were all things Jiraiya did for him back then.
The foundation they laid brought results.
Jiraiya was a person who was very good at educating, but he was just... delayed in his life by the words of the Great Toad Sage.
Otherwise, if he becomes Hokage, and is not hindered by the number of disciples, and does not feel that he must be cautious in accepting disciples, they are very likely to change the world.
Then Jiraiya, who is willing to accept even three children from the Rain Ninja Village, will definitely educate more outstanding disciples than the third and second generations, especially commoner disciples.
Jiraiya never knew that he was really the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage.
Because of the words of the Great Toad Sage, he felt that his disciple Hui was more worthy of that position than himself, so he never thought about himself again in his life.
Not to mention the melancholy in Jiraiya's heart, while the two were talking, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiraiya.
Jiraiya actually learned about the Akatsuki organization very early. After all, Yahiko and the others took the name of the Akatsuki organization very early back then. Jiraiya also heard about the fact that the Akatsuki organization was annihilated by Hanzo, and he was in great pain.
The reason why Jiraiya, an expert in intelligence, had not figured out the situation of the Akatsuki organization until he died in Shippuden.
It was precisely because he had been deceiving himself to avoid speculation and accusations about the three disciples when he was investigating the Akatsuki organization.
And until he decided to do that, he actually had a sense of destiny that he would never return to.
That feeling was just like when he was facing the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Look at the man's black robe with red clouds and his orange hair.
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.
"Long time no see, Yahiko, but you... were supposed to be dead, weren't you?
This is a puppet, right, so is it Nagato or Konan who is standing in front of me at this moment?"
"Oh, Mr. Jiraiya, it's been such a long time.
Especially after Danzo and Hanzo teamed up to kill Yahiko, we... never saw him again.
As for my identity, I am Nagato. Please forgive me for not appearing as myself. I just want you to take a good look at Yahiko.
