However.
That young man seems to have never given up.
The young man just buried all his thoughts in his heart, he is realizing them step by step according to his own ideas, he has always wanted to slaughter the entire Ninja World!
"This world is too boring..."
Akihara Kagura sighed, seemingly like a murder maniac: "Lord Danzo taught me how to use Wood Release to kill in the Root division. To satisfy him, I've been practicing killing diligently, finally becoming a qualified killing tool..."
"I've killed a lot of people..."
"Feels like it's still not enough..."
Akihara Kagura raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, seeming somewhat wistful: "I used Lord Orochimaru's threat to officially resurrect the previous Hokages, I manipulated them to force the newly appointed and unsteady Lady Tsunade to start a war, I thought maybe killing on the battlefield might be fun..."
"!!!"
Jiraiya felt a chill down his spine!
This...
Konoha's previous Hokages...
Have always been under Akihara Kagura's control?
Jiraiya always thought that Tsunade initiated the war because she was coerced by the Second Hokage, even believed Akihara Kagura helped settle the war, feeling fortunate his student was strong enough to single-handedly resolve the war without causing casualties...
Wait... no...
Konoha has been implementing the Five Kage governance meetings all along...
Jiraiya's mind raced, unable to imagine how much Akihara Kagura has done secretly while controlling the former Hokages, keeping it hidden from Konoha!
Akihara Kagura sighed softly: "I personally settled Konoha's war against The Hidden Sand Village and The Hidden Mist Village, yet found your dreaded war still too dull, war cannot excite anyone..."
"The power of Wood Release is too strong..."
"But in my view, it seems so small..."
"I can easily destroy a village, yet I cannot annihilate a nation."
"But..."
"The gathered power of the nine Tailed Beasts is enough..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Nagato, speaking softly: "Let the others in the Ninja World shake in fear under the threat of war weapons, they will only live a lifetime of fear..."
"Rather than letting them worry about when they will be destroyed by war weapons as a deterrent for stopping wars, it's better to let me control the war weapons to give them a swift end, let me try out what it's like to destroy the Ninja World..."
"..."
The people present didn't know what to say.
"This child..."
Sage Shima looked at Akihara Kagura, who was nonchalantly talking about destroying the Ninja World, and shivered involuntarily: "Little Jiraiya, is this the kid with the rather extreme personality you and Wen Tai talked about?"
"It's not just a little extreme..."
Sage Fukasaku looked at Akihara Kagura, the Toad Sage who lived for hundreds of years has seen many people but never someone like Akihara Kagura...
"Is it that Danzo's fault again..."
Jiraiya could only shake his head, sighing heavily: "Even after ten years, your thoughts are still so extreme, Kagura..."
Originally, Jiraiya was very displeased with Nagato's plan, even though Nagato's plan was somewhat extreme too, but compared to Akihara Kagura's approach, it seemed relatively mild...
"Alright..."
"Enough talk."
Akihara Kagura flexed his fingers, slowly forming a hand seal: "Brother Nagato, hand over the Rinnegan now, it wasn't yours to begin with, just temporarily entrusted to your care..."
Boom!
The ground suddenly cracked open!
A huge vine directly grabbed at Nagato!
"Almighty Push!"
Nagato raised his hand, releasing a repulsive force!
The vine was instantly turned into countless pieces by the impact of the repulsive force!
"Boring."
Akihara Kagura raised his fingers, vines once again sprouted from the ground around Nagato: "Brother Nagato, it's impossible for you, who finds it hard to even move, to withstand the power of Wood Release."
"Don't underestimate people!"
Konan's figure soared swiftly, her paper wings behind her suddenly shot out countless paper shurikens, like blades rushing towards Akihara Kagura!
"Nagato, run!"
Konan blocked Akihara Kagura while loudly urging Nagato to use gravity to escape: "I'll hold this guy off!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
Akihara Kagura opened his mouth, spewing a ball of flame towards Konan!
The range of this flame is even more terrifying than when Jiraiya used Immortal Techniques, the flame immediately clashed with the paper, and in an instant, burned through Konan's paper shurikens, almost set to burn Konan's body!
Konan had no choice but to swiftly fly to the side, avoiding the flames, swooping toward Akihara Kagura's position, countless sheets of paper fluttered from her body, falling toward Akihara Kagura's area!
Many of the papers had black runes on them; clearly, these papers were explosive tags prepared in advance by Konan, she aimed to engulf Akihara Kagura with explosive tags!
"Hell Path: Summoning Jutsu!"
Not only did Nagato not escape, he directly summoned a large-mouthed King Yama, the King Yama opened its mouth, extending a long tongue to swallow the fallen puppets of Pain Six Paths, starting to chew!
"Faster... faster..."
Sweat poured down Nagato's face; he stared firmly at the Yama King's mouth, hoping the chewing could speed up!
This is the Hell Path's ability.
As long as the puppets of Pain Six Paths are intact, regardless of damage severity, they can be revived through King Yama for a quick reengagement!
Nagato was well aware of his shortcomings.
Only by using Pain Six Paths in conjunction with himself, would there be a chance to battle Akihara Kagura, his main body moving with difficulty, in the face of such a terrifying enemy as Akihara Kagura, would become a live target only to be beaten!
On the other side.
Konan continued to scatter explosive tags towards Akihara Kagura.
Akihara Kagura raised his head watching the falling explosive tags, raised his palm, slowly forming a hand seal.
"Chidori Style!"
Bolts of lightning suddenly flew up from around Akihara Kagura!
Compared to the Chidori Style used by Uchiha Sasuke, Akihara Kagura's Chidori Style covered nearly a hundred meters of area, bolts of electricity constantly traversing within hundreds of meters around him, the lightning instantly shattering the runes on the explosive tags, turning sheets of paper into useless scraps!
"No hope."
Jiraiya watched the figure standing quietly amidst the lightning.
His gaze shifted to Konan still flying in the sky, dropping explosive tags, then to Nagato still desperately waiting for Yama King to resurrect Pain Six Paths.
"Kagura's talent is too strong."
Jiraiya sighed deeply, mixed feelings in his heart: "Or perhaps his thoughts are deep, I've never seen him use Lightning Release, yet such a level of Lightning Release Jutsu, even more terrifying than the Raikage of The Hidden Cloud Village..."
"First recover the Chakra..."
Sage Fukasaku sat down leisurely, quietly reminding: "Little Jiraiya, someone wants to destroy the Ninja World, now's not the time to be stunned!"
"Kids' dad is right!"
Sage Shima also quickly sat down, recovering from internal wounds.
"I know..."
Jiraiya sat down, reached into his pocket for a Soldier Pill, gazed at the pill nostalgically: "If Tsunade were here, at least my injuries could recover quickly..."
"By the way..."
"Where's Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya couldn't help but turn and look in the direction Orochimaru fled, seemingly regretfully patting his thigh: "Should have let that guy stick around, at least relay the news of Kagura wanting to steal the Rinnegan back..."
"Don't be too reckless, Jiraiya..."
A voice appeared beside Jiraiya.
