Chapter 176 Jiraiya's choice! I will never forgive myself!

In Konoha Village, it was raining heavily. Tsunade was looking in the direction of Sound Village, as if waiting for Danzo's return, but she was more looking forward to Jiraiya's safe return.

At this moment, a drizzle of rain was falling, soaking all the streets of Konoha Village.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was staring out the window in a daze.

"The annoying rain keeps falling." Tsunade said softly.

"I'm sure everything will be fine if it's Jiraiya-sama."

"That sir is quite..." Shizune was about to offer comfort when she was interrupted by Tsunade.

"That guy isn't coming back."

Shizune was stunned, but was rewarded with a mischievous smile from Tsunade, "That's what I bet on."

"Because I always lose when I gamble..."

"So this is what you mean..." Shizune smiled awkwardly and left the Hokage's office.

Tsunade was left alone in the office, looking at the rain.

Tsunade recalled what Jiraiya had said that evening.

"Men become strong after they are dumped."

"If you don't have the fortitude to make a joke about being dumped, you're not a man."

"And happiness is not something men pursue."

Thinking of this, Tsunade raised the corner of her mouth slightly:

"Just trying to be cool."

"After he comes back, it's about time he stopped playing it cool."

Yuyin Village.

Jiraiya, who has entered the Sage Mode, is assisted by two toads, one is Lord Fukasaku and the other is Granny Shima.

The two men leaned on Jiraiya's left and right shoulders. Behind Jiraiya were several Pains' corpses.

After casting the magic frog croak

"This way I have made my choice."

Jiraiya, who was walking forward, looked slightly stunned.

Behind him, Shurado appeared behind Jiraiya.

"Don't take it lightly, you're the one who taught me that, Teacher Jiraiya." Pain's voice was heard, and just as Jiraiya was about to turn his head, a horrible explosion occurred.

Jiraiya was smashed away and his left hand was cut off by Shurado.

"Boy, your left hand is..." Granny Shima hurriedly reminded Jiraiya.

"I know!" Jiraiya gritted his teeth, and Lord Fukasaku was also confused at this time.

"How is this going?"

"It's different from the faces of the three people just now."

"I'm afraid this was also summoned by the summoning technique before!" Jiraiya explained with a frown.

In the distance, Payne's voice came.

"So..."

Suddenly, six figures emerged and stood in front of Jiraiya.

"The Six Paths of Pain, here to pay your respects!" Tiandao, who was standing in the middle, said lightly.

"Six people, there are actually six people?!" Fukasaku was shocked.

Granny Shima seemed to know what it was at this point.

"Hey, look, the three people we just dealt with are here too!"

"Maybe the newly summoned guys resurrected them in some way."

"How is it possible that there is a ninjutsu that can revive three completely dead people..."

"Are these guys really human?"

Listening to the conversation between Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders, Jiraiya finally spoke: "Pein, who are you..."

Tian Dao, who was standing in the middle, spoke up: "Pain refers to the unified name of the six of us."

"Why..."

"Six people all have the Rinnegan!" Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank as he said this, because the appearance of Tendou in front of him was very familiar to him.

"Is it Yahiko?"

"What the hell is going on! Isn't Yahiko dead? And those eyes!"

Listening to Jiraiya's question, Pein said calmly: "Do you see the shadow of Yahiko in me?"

"As expected of my former teacher."

"But Yahiko is already dead, and the one standing here is Pein."

Jiraiya was furious.

"I've heard enough of that crap! Why do you have the Rinnegan?"

Fukasaku beside him asked in confusion; "What's going on, little Jiraiya?"

"One of my former disciples was among them."

"It's just that the child doesn't have those eyes."

Listening to Jiraiya's words, Granny Shima was also confused: "What's going on? There are actually two children of prophecy among them."

"No...that's not right!" Jiraiya began to think about what happened in this battle.

At this time Jiraiya finally realized that because of the existence of the Rinnegan, he had preconceived that the original animal realm was Nagato.

But upon closer inspection, he saw that there was no chakra that he was familiar with, and none of the six people looked like Nagato.

But there is also someone among them who looks like Yahiko and possesses Nagato's Rinnegan.

Is it Yahiko or Nagato? This question echoed in Jiraiya's mind.

"What the hell is going on with you!" Jiraiya shouted loudly.

"We are Pain, we are God." It was Tendou who responded to Jiraiya.

Immediately, the six Pains rushed towards Jiraiya together.

"Little Jiraiya! Retreat!"

The six people attacked Jiraiya, but Jiraiya had only one target, and that was Tendou who looked very much like Yahiko!

"Yahiko, why do you have Nagato's eyes!?"

"Even if you know this, you can't defeat us." Tiandao's faint voice came out, cold and full of murderous intent.

As he said that, Tendou threw Jiraiya away, and then Shuradou instantly connected with the missile.

......

After coming out of the Flower Domain Space, they were already outside the Hidden Rain Village.

"Kane, you just fought with Uchiha Itachi, and you have consumed too much energy. Although your chakra is fine, your eye power has almost reached its limit!" Shinobu's reminder echoed in Kanane's ears.

"So what!" Kanon ran towards the Hidden Rain Village with all her might.

"If I were a step slower because of my body, I would never be able to forgive myself!" Kanon moved very quickly, completely ignoring her gradually blurry eyes and the minor wounds on her body.

Jiraiya was her master and one of the most important people to her. Kanon could not accept that Jiraiya died here.

Jiraiya clearly promised that he would win, but why did Black Zetsu's information say that Jiraiya was about to die?

Impossible, Jiraiya was obviously so strong. Kanon ran faster and faster, as if if she ran any slower, they would be separated forever. There were tears of blood in her eyes, and her white long sleeves with the Uchiha and Ryuchido emblems were already a little torn.

Hanayone was covered in dust, but her face was still so delicate. At the moment, she had no time to care about anything else.

Jiraiya's appearance appeared in her mind. He was like her grandfather, paying attention to her. Thinking of this, Kanon moved faster and her body turned into an afterimage.

A pink lightning seemed to be constantly shuttling through the Hidden Rain Village. It was Kanon's figure. She didn't want to see the person she cherished leave her again.

......

Six Paths of Pain was standing on the water surface, and after the Animal Path was pulled underground, its breath disappeared.

Not even the other Paynes noticed.

The Animal Path underwater fell into the Toad's barrier, and his foothold was about to disappear. Seeing this scene, the Animal Path also leaped up, which happened to be in Jiraiya's trajectory.

Granny Shima lifted Jiraiya up with her tongue, and the Rasengan flew out of his hand.

Jiraiya gasped for breath, he finally killed a Pain.

"Well done, little Jiraiya," Fukasaku called out.

But before Fukasaku could say more, the animal's hand pulled out from the gastric juice, and a long black stick stabbed directly at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya stretched out his hand to block, but the black stick went straight through the right side of Jiraiya's chest.

This was the counterattack of the animal realm, and after this attack, the animal realm collapsed to the ground.

Jiraiya coughed up blood.

"Did we finally kill one person by dragging him into the barrier?"

Jiraiya broke the stick that pierced his hands and chest, but the effect of the Rinnegan came back.

"The chakra in my body is disordered..." Jiraiya groaned in pain.

"Because of this?" Fukasaku said as he pulled the black stick from Jiraiya's shoulder.

But at this moment, Jiraiya had his eyes closed, his mind pondering the information.

"That face, that guy is undoubtedly Yahiko..."

He recalled the battle just now and his thoughts became more and more confused, but the one thing that confused him the most was what happened to Nagato who vowed to protect Konan and Yahiko at all costs.

At this moment, the forehead guard on the Animal Path slipped off, and the wound on it shocked Jiraiya.

Memories of his early years kept running through Jiraiya's mind. Yes, he remembered this person!

Jiraiya had fought with this man in front of him when they were young, and the scar on his forehead was caused by himself!

At this moment, Jiraiya thought of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage again.

"You are the one being guided by the change maker, and one day you will be forced to make a huge choice."

"In your dream, you travel around the world and write books at the same time."

Thinking of this, Jiraiya was suddenly stunned, he seemed to understand Pain's secret.

"I'm going to go in front of those guys again because there's something I need to confirm."

"You two, please go back."

Hearing Jiraiya's decision, Granny Shima was also shocked.

"what?!"

"No, you will definitely be killed if you go this time."

"The number of eyes has increased again, and the barrier trap will make it impossible for the opponent to fall into it again."

"Those guys haven't noticed this place yet. If we want to escape, now is the time!" Fukasaku roared at Jiraiya.

"Although if I go out now, I might really be killed."

"But maybe we can learn the true identity of the enemy."

"If I miss this opportunity, there will probably never be anyone who can get so close to Payne again!"

"Now is your only chance to learn the truth!"

"Now is the time for decision as predicted by the Great Toad Immortal."

"Brother and sister, please take back the information we have about Pain so far, as well as this body of Pain."

"And tell Tsunade..." Fukasaku interrupted Jiraiya before he could finish his words.

"It's enough to leave this matter to the child's mother."

"But..."

Shima seemed to understand what Fukasaku meant. He jumped off Jiraiya's shoulder, sucked Pain's body into the scroll, and left.

"You have to be back before dinner."

"After this is over, I'll go back and eat with little Jiraiya," Fukasaku said with a smile.

Jiraiya nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, both of you..."
