"Let's go together." Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "And he should have sensed us." The Rinnegan should not be underestimated, even though
"Let's go together."
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "And he should have sensed us."
The Rinnegan should not be underestimated, even though it is not the original one.
But now that Nagato has Hashirama's cells, it means that he has most likely reached a cooperation with Uchiha Madara.
In other words, because of his appearance, Uchiha Madara's plan for Obito was not perfect, so he replaced him with Nagato, missing a link?
Hoshita Shuichi was not sure yet, and everything would have to wait until he met Nagato.
"All right!"
Jiraiya nodded and smiled, "It seems like you don't trust me very much!"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "That's not the case."
"But it's too dangerous for you to be alone. That's the Rinnegan."
Jiraiya seemed to remember something and his smile faded: "That's true."
"Then let's go."
Pulling the straps that bound the scroll, Jiraiya stepped into the rain, followed by Hoshita Shuichi.
…
In a tall tower, Nagato walked out of the darkness and came to Konan who was staring at the rain in a daze: "Jiraiya-sensei is here!"
konan was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression: "Did you come here because you heard the news of Yahiko's death?"
Nagato did not answer, but looked out at the rain: "There is another person whose chakra is even more powerful than Sensei Jiraiya's."
Konan's eyes narrowed, "There aren't many people like this in Konoha. It seems that this is the person named Hoshita Shuichi in the information given by White Zetsu."
"In fact, they are our fellow disciples."
"So, our cooperation with Uchiha Madara has been known?"
Nagato reached out his hand to catch a stream of rainwater and said, "We'll know later."
Konan looked at Nagato, who had no expression on his face, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Get ready for a fight, Konan."
After saying this, Nagato turned and disappeared into the darkness.
There was sadness in Konan's eyes, but she quickly became determined and turned around to follow Nagato.
At the bottom of the tower, Hoshita Shuichi and Jiraiya entered through an entrance.
This tall tower seems to be built of countless thick pipes. The architectural style is greatly related to the climate of the Rain Country with year-round rain.
After walking through a pipe, Hoshita Shuichi and his companion arrived at the second floor and then stopped.
"Nagato!"
Jiraiya smiled, then looked at Konan who was walking out from behind: "The little girl back then has grown up to be so beautiful now!"
Konan looked at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, you are still the same as before."
Jiraiya smiled proudly and said, "Of course, I am the Toad Sage!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but stop smiling: "Yahiko didn't come, it seems the information was correct."
Nagato said, "So, Jiraiya-sensei, are you here to confirm Yahiko's death?"
Jiraiya fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "Nagato, you are a little different from before."
Nagato said calmly: "Of course, after all, people grow up."
"Besides, this is also thanks to Konoha."
"I heard that Danzo is dead. What a pity."
Jiraiya sighed after hearing this: "It turns out that counseling people is not a very easy job, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Nagato interrupted him and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, if you are here to explain that matter today, then you don't have to."
"If you are here to see the three of us, we welcome you very much."
Jiraiya frowned slightly: "Of course I'm not here to explain that matter, but I don't want you and Konan to choose the wrong path."
Nagato's originally calm voice suddenly rose: "Jiraiya-sensei, we have grown up, experienced a lot, learned a lot, and have our own path."
"We have taken the path that you, Jiraiya-sensei, advocated before, but the result is obvious. Yahiko paid with his life for it, we were betrayed, and only Konan and I survived from the Akatsuki organization."
"So, now we choose to go another way."
"That was the path Yahiko had envisioned."
"So please don't stop us, Jiraiya-sensei."
Jiraiya's heart sank as he listened to this. Apparently, words alone were no longer enough to make Nagato and Konan change their minds.
Hoshita Shuichi, who had been watching, interrupted and said, "I agree with this statement very much. Everyone has his own path and his own choice."
"It is indeed somewhat irresponsible to leave the path you choose to others."
Jiraiya's face fell when he heard this. This guy Shuichi actually ruined his plan!
Hoshita Shuichi continued: "We are not here to persuade or explain anything this time."
"After all, Yahiko's death is indeed related to that guy Danzo."
"I am here today to make a deal with Akatsuki."
Nagato's eyes fell on Hoshita Shuichi: "Transaction?"
"What deal?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Information!"
"I have done extensive research on Hashirama cells, so I can sense the Hashirama cells in you."
"This feeling is very familiar. I encountered a mysterious enemy before and it was the same situation. He also had the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"He took one of my good friends away, and he implanted a curse symbol in the heart of another good friend."
Konan's face changed when he heard this, but Nagato remained expressionless: "So what do you want to trade?"
Hoshita Shuichi said: "That person's identity!"
Nagato asked, "What can you trade?"
"That won't work."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "It depends on what you need."
"Since we are from the same school, I can try my best to satisfy you."
At this time, konan asked, "I heard that you killed that Danzo?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and admitted: "That's right."
"On the day Yahiko died."
At this moment, he was like a man without any scheming, pouring out information like pouring beans: "My summoning beast was monitoring Danzo in the air at that time, so I also know the situation that day."
As if curious about this, Nagato also asked, "Why did you want to kill him?"
Hoshita Shuichi sighed, "There are too many reasons to kill Danzo."
"It's related to some secrets of the village. Some of them cannot be revealed. Let me tell you my reasons."
"My reason is simple. Danzo threatened me when I was still a student at the Ninja School."
"And his existence threatened the safety of the people I was protecting, so I killed him."
Jiraiya, who was standing by, held his forehead with his hand after hearing this.
Nagato nodded after hearing this: "I see, you are right."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Back then, I swore that I would definitely kill Danzo in the future. I waited until this year, when I had enough strength and the opportunity, so I did it without hesitation."
Nagato said: "That person is Uchiha Madara!"
Jiraiya's heart sank when he heard this: "It is indeed him..."
"It's incredible that people from that era are still alive today."
Nagato looked at Hoshita Shuichi and asked curiously, "You don't seem surprised."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "There are not many people in the Uchiha clan who can open the Mangekyō. At the same time, they are not from the village, and they know the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan. These things are not difficult for people to guess."
"Eliminate the impossible, and then even the most incredible conclusion must be the truth."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "Nagato, Uchiha Madara came to you to hide a huge conspiracy. If you cooperate with him, I'm afraid there will be no good results."
Nagato said calmly: "I don't really agree with what Jiraiya-sensei said."
"I feel it's safer to work with Uchiha Madara than with someone like Hanzo."
Jiraiya could understand the deeper meaning behind this and couldn't refute it.
Compared to Jiraiya, Hoshita Shuichi understood Nagato's thoughts better, so he had no intention of persuading him. He just wanted to find an opportunity to sow discord between them and at the same time find out the situation of Nagato and Uchiha Madara's cooperation.
Now that he knew almost everything, he asked, "So, Nagato, what information do you want to know?"
Nagato said, "I've already asked this question."
"So what are you going to do next, Jiraiya-sensei?"
Jiraiya looked at Nagato and Konan with a serious expression, and the scene of that year appeared in his mind.It's completely different!
War has changed so much!
"Of course, I will lead you back to the right path!"
Jiraiya shouted.
"The right path?"
Nagato asked in return: "What is the right path?"
"Is this what Jiraiya-sensei is practicing?"
"But Konoha has been fighting with other ninja villages, right?"
"We who promote peace have been plotted against by despicable means. The path we are taking now was chosen after careful consideration of life and death."
"Jiraiya-sensei, what exactly is the right path you are talking about?"
"Besides, isn't it already quite late for Jiraiya-sensei to come here at this time?"
"So, if we're not on the right path, what is Jiraiya-sensei going to do? Treat us as enemies and get rid of us?"
Jiraiya frowned: "Nagato, you are too extreme!"
Nagato shook his head: "It's because you, Jiraiya-sensei, can't feel our pain, so you say some very light-hearted words here."
"You want us to understand others, but has anyone ever understood us?"
"Jiraiya-sensei, Danzo is dead, but Hanzo is not. Can you understand the pain and hatred of losing our companions and kill Hanzo?"
"If you can't..."
Nagato locked his eyes with Hoshita Shuichi: "Perhaps after I kill your companions, you will understand."
Jiraiya sighed, "It seems that we need to test the results of your training since we separated."
"Shuichi, please step back!"
Hoshita Shuichi did not move: "It is best not to underestimate the power of the Rinnegan."
It is unknown how much power of the Rinnegan Nagato has mastered now, but his legs are fine, and he has extra Hashirama cells, so he cannot be underestimated in any case.
It would be even more troublesome if he had been taught by Uchiha Madara like Uchiha Obito.
Once upon a time, Nagato mastered the six changes of chakra properties in three years under Jiraiya's instruction.
At this time, Nagato raised his hand: "To be honest, I also want to know the strength of Jiraiya-sensei."
This action Hoshita Shuichi flashed and stood in front of Jiraiya.
Chains whizzed out and spread out in all directions, forming a semicircular barrier upside down, covering Hoshita Shuichi himself and Jiraiya .
And then Nagato's ninjutsu burst out.
Shinra Tensei!
A powerful impact force exploded and collided with Hoshita Shuichi's barrier. Accompanied by a roar, a terrible air wave exploded.
He actually blocked it!
Nagato was a little surprised. No wonder he was mentioned so prominently by Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
At this moment, inside the barrier, behind Jiraiya, a masked man in a black robe rose from the ground, and then the distorted time and space enveloped Jiraiya.
"What?"
Jiraiya was surprised, but at this moment he was unable to perform any ninjutsu to resist.
But at this moment, a chakra hand grabbed Jiraiya's shoulder.
The next moment, Hoshita Shuichi and Jiraiya disappeared from the spot.
White Zetsu, who was controlling Uchiha Obito, smiled with a hint of disappointment and said, "What a pity! We almost succeeded!"
Black Zetsu said: "With only one eye, it's still too slow."
"Of course, if we had chosen to open the barrier channel just now, the power of the Rinnegan would be enough to defeat them."
White Zetsu spread his hands and smiled: "You can't blame me for this, it was Nagato who attacked too quickly, there was no time to cooperate!"
…
In a cave outside the town, Hoshita Shuichi appeared, and Jiraiya fell to the ground beside him.
"Shuichi, was that guy just now Uchiha Madara?"
Jiraiya climbed up and asked with a serious look.
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "No."
"It's Obito."
Jiraiya frowned: "Uchiha Obito, that ninjutsu, his Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"What an amazing ability. I didn't even notice you were approaching me."
Hoshita Shuichi took the opportunity to reveal information: "It went straight through my barrier. That kind of fluctuation is undoubtedly a space-time ninjutsu."
"Besides, it looks like Obito is completely controlled by the enemy."
Jiraiya nodded, then smiled casually and said, "This is a dangerous moment!"
"They almost got rid of me."
"But it seems that this trip was not without gain!"
"But judging from the current situation, facing such a combination, it will be very troublesome without Flying Thunder God, who also performs space-time ninjutsu!"
A frontal containment and sneak attack by someone controlling Obito would be something that ordinary ninjas would have no way of dealing with.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "It is indeed very troublesome, especially for Obito's Mangekyō ability, we still don't fully understand it."
"And Nagato's Rinnegan ability."
Jiraiya thought, "The next step is to collect information in this regard."
"Alas...if we become enemies in the future, there is nothing we can do about it."
Hoshita Shuichi reminded: "Collecting intelligence is indeed very important, but it is better not to act alone."
"Well... leave the intelligence to me."
"If I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if I can't defeat them together, it will be easier for me to escape."
In this way, the intelligence will be cleared.
Jiraiya thought about it and nodded, then smiled and said, "It seems that I can't keep up with the times!"
Hoshita Shuichi laughed: "This doesn't seem like the style of Sage Jiraiya, does it?"
Jiraiya laughed, then said seriously: "It seems that you need to practice seriously, otherwise you will be surpassed by the powerful juniors!"
"Thanks To MR. Fancy For the Support!"
