The Amegakure unit captain has been changed from Shigure to Nagato.
Jiraiya, who had learned about the Akatsuki Organization's origins from Root's files in the Military Police Force, had already suspected that Nagato and Konan might not be dead, based on the intelligence he had gathered about the Akatsuki Organization's intricate connection to Amegakure.
Now, seeing Nagato's name, Jiraiya's thoughts were no longer on the Allied Shinobi Forces.
After many attempts, Jiraiya knew that it was impossible to stop the Allied Shinobi Forces' actions unless he used force to kill them.
Leaving aside whether Jiraiya could win, killing one group of people for the sake of the people of the Land of Earth was something Jiraiya could not bring himself to do.
When he saw Nagato's name appear, Jiraiya felt a renewed sense of purpose.
In Jiraiya's heart, the Child of Prophecy, the First Hokage, was Nagato, and the Second Hokage was Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya, who had once believed that the First Hokage and Second Hokage had passed away, now saw the Child of Prophecy, the First Hokage, reappear.
Jiraiya felt that the Great Toad Sage's prophecy of the Child of Prophecy and the prophecy of the Ninja's disappearance might be able to merge into one.
The catastrophe that would have led to the complete demise of the Ninja would, through the efforts of the Child of Prophecy, transform into a revolution sweeping across the Ninja World, ushering the Ninja World into a new era.
Yes, a perfect happy ending!
Jiraiya, believing he had found the key factor, put away his stamp and walked outside.
"General Commander, there are still documents that need to be signed!"
As Jiraiya walked out of the tent, a Ninja suddenly approached him and tried to persuade him.
At this moment, Jiraiya had no intention of going back to be a mere stamp-wielding tool.
"How did you do it before? Keep doing it the same way now!" Jiraiya retorted with a pout. When he had refused to sign any documents before, the command center still issued all sorts of documents continuously. Now, they were acting as if he was very important.
But the Ninja remained persistent, following Jiraiya closely.
"General Commander, you cannot desert us on the battlefield!"
Jiraiya had wanted to quit and abandon his responsibilities more than once or twice.
In high spirits, Jiraiya, for once, explained a few more things.
"Don't worry, I won't run. I'm going to the Amegakure camp. You can follow!"
Knowing that the person behind him had a mission, Jiraiya did not make things difficult for him.
"Yes, General Commander!"
--------
Amegakure unit's location.
Konan had just integrated the unit that departed from Konoha into the unit she brought with her.
This time, the unit from Kumogakure was led personally by Nagato.
Ever since he recovered his health, Nagato no longer concealed himself and became involved in the management of Amegakure.
It was just that Nagato always stood behind Pain.
At the same time, Nagato also cut his long hair, leaving only a thick fringe over his forehead to conceal his Rinnegan.
Nagato learned about Iwagakure's attack on Konoha through Amegakure's intelligence channels.
After learning the details, Nagato knew that Iwagakure and the Land of Earth were just scapegoats; the real perpetrators were Zetsu and Madara.
Nagato did not care that Zetsu and Madara, who had always been at odds with him, acted on their own without informing him.
Instead, he was very interested in Tomoki's proposal for the Shinobi Alliance.
Last time, he was first defeated by Tomoki, shattering Nagato's arrogance of calling himself a god. Then, Tomoki, with a few words, completely negated the path to peace he had been pursuing.
From that moment on, Nagato fell into confusion.
This time, he suddenly discovered Tomoki's Shinobi Alliance proposal, and its goal was also for Ninja World peace.
Nagato immediately became interested.
Tomoki's persuasion last time was clearly successful; at least in Nagato's mind, Tomoki had the persona of someone who loved peace.
What is written on paper is, after all, not as good as actual experience.
Nagato, whose strength had returned to its peak and greatly improved, could not find his direction and decided to personally see the peace Tomoki wanted to create.
As for the Shinobi Alliance's first action, it was to dismember the Land of Earth and Iwagakure.
Nagato did not find anything wrong with that; the former Nagato even wanted the world to experience Pain.
Compared to that, Nagato felt that Tomoki's method was exceptionally gentle.
Nagato did not know if Tomoki's method would succeed; he just wanted to personally participate and experience it to find his own direction.
Therefore, Nagato personally led his unit to join the Allied Shinobi Forces.
And Konan, who was inseparable from Nagato, naturally came along with him.
After the two had just merged their two units, they received a notification that the Allied Shinobi Forces General Commander had already entered the camp and was heading directly towards them.
Although Jiraiya was a tool, he still had some powers.
For example, entering any Ninja village's camp did not require permission; he could enter directly.
Otherwise, if the Allied Shinobi Forces General Commander was so low that he needed permission for such things, it would be better not to set up a command center.
"Nagato, the Allied Shinobi Forces General Commander seems to be Teacher Jiraiya."
Konan said to Nagato, with some panic in her voice, clearly not knowing how to face her former mentor.
"Don't worry, Konan, just stand behind me later!"
With just a single sentence, Nagato understood Konan's thoughts and chose to step forward proactively.
Just as Nagato's words fell, a deep and surprised voice entered their ears.
"Nagato, Konan, it really is you!"
