Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the Rain Ninja and Root, Yahiko sacrificed himself, hoping to exchange his life for the lives of his comrades.

However, it is easy to imagine that Hanzo of the Salamander, who had already developed a murderous intent towards Akatsuki, would not let Akatsuki off so easily. After Yahiko committed suicide, Hanzo of the Salamander ordered the complete annihilation of Akatsuki's members.

Yahiko's death spurred Nagato, and the power of the Rinnegan was finally fully unleashed at that moment. As Nagato summoned the Gedo Mazo, killing a large number of Amegakure and Root ninjas, Hanzo of the Salamander and Danzo both chose to retreat.

After that, Nagato took Konan and the other survivors and went into hiding.

As Nagato became more proficient in using the Rinnegan, and with the Six Paths of Pain officially created, Nagato quickly used Pain to assassinate the Salamander. After that, Pain became the leader of the country, and Nagato began to join forces with Obito Uchiha in order to obtain eternal "peace".

Nagato's account was very detailed, and Jiraiya stood in front of Nagato listening quietly. When Nagato mentioned that Hanzo the Salamander had "gone bad" and that Yahiko had died, Jiraiya felt a pang of heartache, and his breathing became rapid.

As Nagato recounted his story, Jiraiya gradually understood why Nagato had become the way he was.

The power of the Gedo Mazo has been draining Nagato's life force; perhaps this is the price of using the Rinnegan...

When he heard Nagato say that he had killed Hanzo of the Salamander and successfully avenged Yahiko, for some reason, he did not feel happy. Instead, he felt sorry for the man who was once called a demigod.

Demigod—

Their title of "Three Ninjas" was actually "bestowed" upon them by the other side.

Hearing that such a guy had died so silently, Jiraiya could only feel the fragility of humanity.

Hanzo's experience with the Salamander reminded Jiraiya of Danzo and his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Perhaps... it's not just Hanzo the salamander that's gone bad, who knows?

At that moment, Jiraiya understood Nagato's hatred.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Did Yahiko do something wrong?

Did Xiao do something wrong?

"Or...did I do something wrong?"

After saying that, Nagato stared intently at Jiraiya and suddenly questioned him.

Yahiko's death was related to Konoha, and Jiraiya also knew that Nagato's parents were even killed by Konoha ninjas by mistake. From any perspective, Jiraiya seemed to have lost the right to blame Nagato.

When faced with Nagato's questioning, Jiraiya lowered his head, looking dazed.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

At that very moment, the machine "under" Nagato suddenly made several loud noises, and several black rods shot out from the machine and directly pierced into Jiraiya's body.

The black rods pierced Jiraiya's right chest, thigh, and forearm, causing him to wince in pain as blood flowed from the wounds.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's sensory abilities and defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced. Although he was unable to dodge the opponent's attack due to distraction, the depth to which the black rod pierced did not affect Jiraiya's combat power.

Feeling the pain in his body, Jiraiya finally regained some consciousness.

"Nagato..."

"As your teacher, I am sorry that I was not there for you when you needed help the most."

"but..."

"Nagato, do not dwell on hatred. The dead are dead, and the living must go on."

"Yahiko probably wouldn't want to see you like this either."

"Wouldn't it be better to give up hatred and live a good life?"

"Wouldn't it be better to carry on Yahiko's will and use your power to make more people live a better life?"

Physical pain meant nothing to Jiraiya; it was the pain in his heart that caused him the most suffering.

Looking at Nagato, whose image was etched with hatred, Jiraiya felt immense regret.

In the end... he became a "preacher," hoping to persuade Nagato to give up his hatred.

"Give up hatred?"

"Ha! Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing such naive words, Nagato suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Perhaps the laughter aggravated her weakened body, for Nagato's laughter suddenly stopped, replaced by a violent cough.

Catching his breath, Nagato finally raised his head slowly, looking intently at Jiraiya, and said in a deep voice:

"Let me give up my hatred..."

"Then I'll wait until I've killed half the world's population, made everyone feel the pain, and then persuade the survivors... to give up their hatred and live a good life!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, since you enjoy persuading people to give up hatred, you'll be very busy!"

Nagato spoke in a low voice, and his chakra flowed into Jiraiya's body through the black rods.

Unlike Naruto, Jiraiya didn't have the immense chakra of the Nine-Tails to help him resist Nagato's chakra invasion. Even in Sage Mode, at this moment, Jiraiya clearly felt that his body was out of his control.

"Nagato... what did you do?" Jiraiya's tone was slightly somber, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

However, before Nagato could answer, Jiraiya saw himself suddenly reach out and grab Fukasaku on the shoulder. The immense force caused Fukasaku to cough up blood.

"Jiraiya!"

"Lord Fukasaku!"

"Lady Shima, I can't control my body anymore!"

Finally noticing the abnormality, Shima jumped off Jiraiya's shoulder. Jiraiya let out a worried cry and tried to let go, his will and Nagato's will clashing within Jiraiya's body.

"As expected of Jiraiya-sensei, he can still resist my power at such close range."

In the dark room, Nagato channeled chakra into Jiraiya's body through black rods. However, to his surprise, even though he was so close to Jiraiya, he couldn't easily step on Jiraiya's body. Jiraiya was actually able to fight him for control of his body.

Even though they are now enemies, Nagato still praised Jiraiya's strength.

Hearing Nagato's "praise," Jiraiya's face didn't show any smile. The battle with Pain had already depleted a lot of his chakra, and with Fukasaku being held by "himself" and Shima being removed from his shoulder, Sage Mode was already entering its countdown.

The reason he can still contend with Nagato is because he is still in Sage Mode and has a large enough chakra reserve. However, once Sage Mode fades, he will be unable to withstand Nagato's control.

"hateful!"

Now that he was in trouble, Jiraiya realized that he had underestimated Nagato. He was deceived by Nagato's weak appearance. He thought that Nagato could not pose any threat to him in Sage Mode in this state. However, in fact, even in this state, Nagato, who had the Rinnegan, had the power to change the course of the battle instantly.

As Jiraiya sensed his own power slowly waning, a sense of regret welled up within him.

He wasn't particularly concerned about his own safety; what bothered him was that his mistakes and negligence had put Fukasaku and Shima in a difficult situation. This was the main reason for Jiraiya's regret.

"It seems that there are still too few mediums for transmitting chakra."

Seeing Jiraiya struggling to stay afloat, Nagato's complexion became unusually rosy. As he spoke, he manipulated the mechanism, and several more black rods bypassed Jiraiya's vital points and pierced directly into his body.

At this moment, Jiraiya had no way to dodge Nagato's attack and could only watch helplessly as the black rods came hurtling towards him.

Although Shima was concerned about her husband, she also sensed the attack targeting Jiraiya. Decisively, she immediately went to Jiraiya's side, stuck out her tongue, and swept it directly at the black rod.

Shima's tongue is a powerful "weapon" capable of strangling large summoned beasts, and it is also very fast. Many fleshy worms parasitize her tongue, and these worms can perceive the surrounding environment in her place.

Despite being in darkness, Shima still managed to precisely scan each of the black rods, blocking Nagato's attack.

If Nagato's attack on Jiraiya hadn't been so sudden, this level of attack wouldn't have posed much of a threat to them.

"You've been a great help, Lady Shima!"

Jiraiya saw that the black rods had been swept away by Shima, and he secretly rejoiced. However, before he could be happy, Nagato suddenly reached out from the machine he was in and aimed at Shima.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

A powerful gravitational force suddenly acted on Shima, and only then did Jiraiya and the two other sages realize that Nagato in this state could also use the Rinnegan's abilities.

A smile appeared on Nagato's face as he operated the machine, aiming several black rods at Shima, who was flying towards him.

"Lord Shima, Lord Fukasaku, you should leave now!"

"I'll figure out how to hold out until Shinichi comes to help!"

"Walk!!!"

The situation reversed, and seeing that Shima was about to be pierced by Nagato's black rod, Jiraiya hurriedly and anxiously reminded him.

At the same time, upon hearing this, Shima-sensei did not hesitate at all. He immediately released the summoning jutsu, his body turning into a wisp of white smoke and disappearing instantly.

The black rod passed through the space where Shima Sage was originally located and shot straight towards Jiraiya.

"Don't die! Little Jiraiya..."

Fukasaku was held captive by Jiraiya and couldn't move. Seeing that his old partner had already left, he knew that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to offer Jiraiya any more help. After struggling to open his mouth to remind him, Fukasaku turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared instantly.

At the same time, the black rod was also approaching Jiraiya, about to pierce through his body.

At that very moment, the ground beneath Jiraiya's feet suddenly cracked open, and a giant white python darted out of the hole. The python coiled around Jiraiya's body and enveloped him tightly.

"Clang clang clang!!!"

The black rod struck, sparking as it touched the snake scales before being flung to the ground.

The white python wrapped around Jiraiya, only revealing his head. Just as Nagato and Jiraiya were feeling astonished, the white python suddenly opened its mouth.
