Upon sensing it, Nagato immediately leaped into the air, then turned midair to discover Teacher Jiraiya attacking him with a hair ninjutsu.
"Almighty Push!"
The immense repulsive force reappeared, and even the iron-like hair was blasted away by this strong force.
'Hmm? The hair in front and the swampy ground were both blown away? And from the looks of it, it's spherical, pushing away from Nagato in all directions? And without any sealing...'
Jiraiya wasn't disappointed that this move didn't work; he managed to gather some intel from that last move.
'Both close and distant attacks can be deflected, then let's try something else!'
"Fire Release: Giant Flame Bomb!"
A blazing flame, mixed with toad oil, surged towards Nagato. This Fire Release was different from ordinary ones because it contained toad oil, making it hard to extinguish even with Water Release.
"Heavenly Attraction."
Nagato reached out towards the ground, and under suction's effect, a mud dragon from the Swamp of the Netherworld was instantly pulled up, dousing Jiraiya's Giant Flame Bomb.
"So it has such a move too?"
Jiraiya looked surprised; just now, unlike the repulsive force, it seemed the swamp's mud was drawn upwards.
But there was no time for surprise as he quickly saw Nagato's body transform, his arm detached, revealing missiles spewing flames, attacking him instantly.
"Is this also the Rinnegan's ability!?"
Seeing the missiles, Jiraiya was shocked. He quickly dodged and even used Needle Jizo to withstand one; the explosion made his chest hurt. As if missiles weren't bad enough, they were tracking missiles...
As soon as he released Needle Jizo, Jiraiya realized Nagato was right in front of him.
"Not good..."
"Almighty Push!"
Bam!
The powerful repulsive force pushed in all directions, even compressing the hard ground into a spherical crater tens of meters wide, and Jiraiya was blasted away by this unstoppable force.
He rolled for a while after hitting the ground, then fell silent.
"Heavenly Attraction."
Nagato raised his hand towards Jiraiya again, using the Rinnegan's Pupil Technique, pulling Jiraiya over.
Feigning unconsciousness, Jiraiya felt the suction, immediately trying to use ninjutsu to block it.
However, it was too late; he was soon pulled to Nagato's side, who then grabbed his neck and slammed him onto the ground.
Boom!
Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood; the slam felt like it was going to break him into pieces.
Possessed by Tobi, Nagato's chakra and strength were greatly enhanced; that last attack was almost at monster strength level.
The next moment, a black rod emerged from Nagato's left hand, but a hint of hesitation flashed across his face; lying on the ground, Jiraiya opened his eyes slightly and slowly said, "Nagato...."
Bang!
Nagato gripped the black rod and thrust it into the ground next to Jiraiya, took a deep breath, and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, don't come looking for us again; this is the last of our teacher-student ties..."
After saying that, Nagato turned and left; after this battle, he was no longer connected to Jiraiya.
Once Nagato left, Jiraiya, lying on the ground, lost consciousness from the two Almighty Pushes, a missile, and finally being slammed with near-monster strength, leaving his internal organs injured and his body almost falling apart.
After Nagato left, Obito appeared from the Divine Power Space, and White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground.
"The Rinnegan's abilities are truly powerful; to have one of the Sannin beaten like this in such a short time...."
Obito calmly said, "Besides, those are the Sage's eyes..."
Sealless Instantaneous Ninjutsu, the mechanical strength transformation of the body, and the amplification Tobi brought to Nagato, as well as the intelligence issues; Obito himself had been possessed by Tobi, knowing how much strength Tobi could grant to the possessed.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised to see Jiraiya being beaten like this, and that was still considering that Nagato hadn't fully mastered the Rinnegan, or else he could have defeated Jiraiya even faster.
White Zetsu asked, "What about Jiraiya? Do we kill him?"
"No need, he definitely won't give up on Nagato, so leave him be."
Looking at Jiraiya, Obito wasn't sure if he was thinking about Nagato or himself.
"When Nagato kills Jiraiya, then he will be fully committed to our side...."
After speaking, Obito left using Kamui.
"Patricide, huh, Obito, you probably think the same way."
After White Zetsu and Black Zetsu spoke, they also dove underground.
After a while, the sky began to rain heavily, and the pouring rain revived the unconscious Jiraiya.
After waking up, he realized he was alone, Nagato had left long ago, and a black rod was thrust into the ground nearby.
"That bastard Nagato, to use such force against his teacher...."
Jiraiya gritted his teeth, feeling several of his bones were broken, making walking difficult; he quickly gathered a little chakra, smeared some blood, and performed the Summoning Jutsu.
Bam!
A puff of smoke appeared, and Jiraiya stood atop a large purple-red toad.
This toad was holding a shield and spear, looking around and seeing no enemies, asked, "Jiraiya, where's the enemy?"
Jiraiya said, "Sorry, Gama Ken, the enemy has left. I'm badly hurt, can you take me back to Konoha?"
"In that case, no problem, get inside my mouth for now..."
Gama Ken said, knowing Jiraiya was badly hurt, standing on top was not an option, and Jiraiya didn't object; thus, Gama Ken placed Jiraiya gently into his mouth and jumped toward Konoha.
Now, returning to Konoha for treatment was the best choice, even though going to Mount Myoboku to recuperate was an option, there were no Medical Ninja there, and he'd have to eat bugs.

"You did well, Rin."
Uchiha Yoichi, realizing his vision was blocked, praised without hesitation, "Learning an A-Class illusion technique in a few days speaks to your talent, how about taking a break."
"I'm fine, but is Teacher Yoichi tired?"
After releasing the illusion technique, Nohara Rin approached Uchiha Yoichi with a sweet, youthful smile; these days of dedicated guidance and gentle counseling had greatly increased her favorability toward Teacher Yoichi.
"Let's take a break; there's no rush in training. By the way, Rin, the ninja game I brought is newly developed; you can try it when you're bored and give me feedback."
"Yes, Teacher Yoichi."
Nohara Rin nodded, obediently standing by Uchiha Yoichi's side, then asked, "Teacher Yoichi, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well..."
Uchiha Yoichi thought for a moment, then seriously used his ability to listen to Nohara Rin's thoughts.
'I really want to do something for Teacher Yoichi; he's so kind and has helped me so much, I'd feel too guilty if I didn't do something....'
"In that case, Rin, could you give me a massage?"
"A m-massage?"
Nohara Rin was briefly taken aback, but as a Medical Ninja, she quickly accepted it.
She nodded and said, "Okay, Teacher Yoichi."
Saying that, Nohara Rin moved her youthful body closer.
But Uchiha Yoichi suddenly received a memory from his Wood Clone, making him chuckle; he then stroked Nohara Rin's reddish-brown hair and said apologetically,
"Rin, I've suddenly got something to attend to, let the clone keep you company with alchemy, the massage can wait."
"Oh, alright, Teacher Yoichi."
Nohara Rin felt a bit disappointed, but upon hearing that Teacher Yoichi's clone would stay with her, she smiled happily.
Leaving a Wood Clone in the Alchemy Room, Uchiha Yoichi departed, heading to the Hokage Building.
