Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to argue with Kumogakure's ninjas, Jiraiya stood up resolutely.
"Sarutobi-sensei, take care of Tsunade."
Jiraiya picked up a Konoha forehead protector and tied it to his arm: "Leave Nagato to me to delay him. He is the disciple I taught, so let me guide him to the right path. .”
Then, he looked at Kumogakure's ninja.
"Everyone, those who just took action were the Second Hokage and the Third Raikage who were resurrected by forbidden techniques. I think you should have some idea of the strength of those two seniors. Even if we all go there, there are only a few people who can delay them. .”
"Support Kumogakure, it's enough for me to go by myself."
"There are also our Kumogakure ninjas." Dodai said, "We will also go to support. Even if we are not that strong, we can still play a containment role."
Jiraiya nodded.
He was already determined to die. When he came to the Ninja Alliance, he was not cooperating with Konoha's ninjas to attack the Kingdom of Rain.
Instead, he tried to save his disciples after Nagato and others fell into despair.
But he really didn't expect it.
In just such a short time, Nagato's strength has expanded to such an extent.
He knew that if he tried to stop Nagato this time, he would die or not.
So I don’t want to bring other ninjas with me.
But since Kumogakure's ninja was willing to die with him, he had no reason to refuse.
After all, this operation is actually to save Kumogakure's shinobi.
In fact, most of the powerful Kumogakure ninjas, including the two Jinchuuriki, are stationed in Kumogakure.
This was the main reason why the Kumogakure ninja who came to help this time was so anxious.
They couldn't afford the loss of two jinchūriki.
Thinking of the scene where Nagato broke Tsunade's limbs without caring, Jiraiya no longer hesitated.
Make a seal with your hands.
"Psychic art!"
A giant toad holding a sword and shield appeared in front of everyone.
Jiraiya stood on it and said to the purple-red toad: "Toad Takeru, please take me to the place where Kumogakure is stationed. I want to condense the natural energy on this road."
Facing the powerful Nagato, he was ready to do his best.
And his strongest state is the sage mode that few people in the ninja world have mastered.
Only by entering this state can he be confident that he can persist under Nagato for a period of time.
But every time you use the immortal mode, you need a lot of time to condense the natural energy.
If it were during the battle, with the speed of the Second Hokage and the Third Raikage, he would have no chance to condense the natural energy. The time he was heading to Kumogakure's station was a good time for him to take advantage of it.
A moment later, Jiraiya and his party had approached the Kumogakure ninja's station.
And Jiraiya happened to have gathered enough natural energy.
Two human-sized toads sat on Jiraiya's shoulders, and a facial makeup representing the sage mode appeared on his face.
It is the Miaomushan Sage mode.
If he turned on the sage mode alone, Jiraiya could only last a few minutes. Now that he has the cooperation of two toads, Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin, to absorb natural energy, he can keep fighting.
Until the physical and mental energy in his body is completely exhausted.
Jiraiya changed his usual careless attitude and said to the two Toad Sages in a calm tone: "Fukasaku Sage, Shima Sage, the enemy we need to deal with this time is Nagato who has the Samsara Eye. He even resurrected the five shadows of his ancestors. As puppets, we are likely to suffer a disastrous defeat this time, so...if necessary, you can lift the psychic spell and return to Miaomu Mountain."
"A boy with reincarnation eyes?"
The two Miaomu Mountain Toad Immortals were silent for a moment.
Afterwards, Fukasaku Sage said to Jiraiya: "Little Jiraiya, in fact, Toad Sage's prophecy has undergone great changes not long ago... The so-called son of prophecy is no longer a simple person, but two routes. , the boy with the Samsara Eye should be the practitioner of one of the paths, and that path is actually very likely to belong to the correct 'son of prophecy'. That boy may lead a new order in the ninja world, are you sure it is true? Do you want to stop him?"
"Yeah?"
Jiraiya smiled proudly.
"To put it this way, it actually made sense for me to stay in the Land of Rain and teach Nagato."
He shook his hair: "The protagonists in the novel need to go through many hardships and defeat many villains. Let me, a remnant of the old era, serve as an insignificant villain to weigh the qualifications of the new order of the Nagato ninja world. .”
During the conversation, Jiraiya had already entered the interior of Kumogakure's base.
With the powerful strength and speed of Sage Mode, he punched the Third Raikage hard and saved a Kumogakure ninja who was about to die.
Jiraiya in sage mode was on par with the powerful Third Raikage in terms of speed and strength.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you really came to stop me after all."
The Third Raikage stopped in the filthy land of heaven.
Nagato was extremely confused about controlling this body.
The current Nagato is completely different from the Nagato who controlled Pain's Six Paths in the original work.
In the original work, with the death of Yahiko, the last hope of peacefully saving the Kingdom of Rain passed away. There was only one thing on Nagato's mind - 'buy rice'! Let those big countries that wage war also have a taste of 'a bag of rice'.
Jiraiya's kindness towards them had faded a lot as Yahiko was killed by the roots of Konoha.
Therefore, at that time, Nagato could kill Jiraiya without hesitation.
But now Nagato...
Although he is still very disappointed with the existing order of the ninja world, he has no good impressions of the five hidden villages that invaded the Land of Rain.
But he has yet to experience despair.
So far, most of the kindness they have given to the Kingdom of Rain has been kindly repaid.
In a word, Nagato is not crooked yet.
When facing Jiraiya, who had taught them when they were at their weakest, he really couldn't bring himself to kill him.
"Yeah..." Jiraiya laughed: "Maybe I shouldn't have come, but even if I am tasked with finding the Child of Destiny, I still have selfish motives."
Suddenly, Nagato was stunned for a moment.
It has nothing to do with Jiraiya's words, nor does it have anything to do with the battle situation here.
But over at the Fire Temple, his shadow clone was defeated by Namikaze Minato. A memory returned to Nagato's mind, and he knew the situation of the raiding team.
This made Nagato realize,
The third line of defense that attacked the daimyo was about to be completely defeated by Namikaze Minato's counterattack...
And Namikaze Minato possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In other words, the shadows of the Five Hidden Villages are about to return.
Nagato smiled bitterly in his heart: "The purpose of the raid team to attack the enemy is to mobilize the high-level combat power of the five hidden villages so that they cannot cooperate with the troops... After the Five Shadows were attracted to the Fire Temple by us, they were originally attracted by us. Suppression, even that battle had a chance to destroy the Five Shadows there, but we encountered Namikaze Minato... What a bad luck, on the contrary, our high-level combat power was scattered."
Thinking of this, Nagato's eyes became more determined, and his tone became more murderous: "Jiraiya-sensei, I didn't intend to kill you."
Nagato said calmly: "But Namikaze Minato is too strong, and you are too strong... If you join forces with the Five Kages, even I will most likely fail... And once I fail, the outcome of the Rain Country will be You can imagine it.”
"So, I won't hold anything back later!"
"Then come on..." Jiraiya's eyes were filled with fighting intent.
Nagato closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no hesitation in his eyes.
The second-generation Hokage of the Beast Way used his psychic technique, and five figures gathered together.
Fight Jiraiya in Sage mode with all his strength.
"All things are attracted by heaven!"
The first to take action was the Third Raikage of the Heavenly Path.
The Ten Thousand Elements attracts him, and at the same time, the strongest spear of the Thunder Ninja Taijutsu is aimed at Jiraiya who is being sucked over.
"Did the Third Raikage gain the ability of gravity?" Jiraiya remembered this information.
At the same time, Rasengan condensed in the palm of his hand.
Attack against attack.
"Did you deflect the Ippon hand? There was no clear contact, so it was an attack of natural energy?"
Nagato is also observing the abilities in sage mode.
He had a premonition.
Namikaze Minato may be his biggest enemy this time.
And that fellow disciple also learned senjutsu from Mt. Myoboku. It is very likely that Namikaze Minato can also learn what Jiraiya does.
"You can avoid the Third Raikage's 1st Strike, but this move...this move defeats the Third Raikage of the Evil Land controlled by me."
Nagato only put a small amount of energy on the Third Raikage, letting the Third Raikage pester Jiraiya, and focused most of his energy on the Second Hokage.
Next to the Second Hokage was the Second Tsuchikage.
One of them is preparing to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the other is preparing to activate the Dust Escape!
"It's not a shame to cross the river by touching Namikaze Minato!"
