Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 262 Nagato Appears, Jiraiya Retreats

"Chisuke, let's go!"

Ye Cang stood up unsteadily, his pupils somewhat unfocused, but he still shouted.

He consumed all the remaining chakra in his body, turning it all into fuel for his Scorching Release technique.

Centered on Yekura, the fierce flames instantly spread six or seven hundred meters, forming a burning ocean.

"sucker Punch."

Jiraiya jumped onto Gamahiro's head, only to see that the sand around him had already climbed up to Gamahiro's calves and was still climbing higher.

Not far away, Chisuke stood on a clump of floating sand, controlling the surrounding sand to restrict Hiro's movements, fully cooperating with Yogakure.

The flames were upon him in an instant. Seeing that Gamahiro couldn't dodge, Jiraiya jumped high again and released the summoning jutsu.

The toads vanished, and Chisuke controlled countless sands that struck Jiraiya, who then turned into white smoke.

Shadow clones?!

Chisuke immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of Yekura.

Immortal method·Super large jade spiral pill!

Jiraiya appeared above Pakura's head, a Rasengan comparable to a miniature sun gathering in his hand.

Yekura was already at her limit, barely managing to stay upright and unable to dodge Jiraiya's attack.

Chisuke was too late to help, but he didn't panic because he saw Nagato arrive on the battlefield.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

Nagato stretched out his left hand and pulled Yekura towards him. Pieces of paper floated up from Konan and stuck to Yekura's body.

By the time Yekura landed beside Nagato, she had already transformed into a white pupa.

The white paper that made up the pupa emitted a slight fluctuation of chakra, slowly healing the injuries on Yekura's body.

Upon seeing this, Chisuke immediately controlled the sand beneath his feet and flew to Nagato's side.

Are you Rain Ninja?

Chisuke looked at the three familiar strangers, asked a pointless question, his expression wary, but his eyes revealed a glimmer of hope.

Because of his jaw injury, Chisuke's voice was somewhat muffled, but Yahiko and the other two could still hear it.

Yahiko gave a friendly smile, signaling to Sensuke not to be nervous: "We are Rain Ninja, here specifically to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Chisuke's tense expression relaxed slightly.

A figure landed in front of Yahiko and the other two; it was Jiraiya.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, it's been a long time."

Jiraiya looked at the Rain Ninja headbands on Yahiko and the other two's foreheads, his expression somewhat complicated: "That's right, it's normal for you to join the Rain Ninja in the Land of Rain."

Konan controlled the white cocoon enveloping Yekura to fly behind the three of them, while Yahiko took a step forward, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei, we've finally met you! Over the years, we've been following your news and hearing about your many glorious stories. We admire you very much."

Seeing Yahiko and Jiraiya reminiscing, Sensuke looked surprised and suspicious, controlling the sand beneath his feet to rise slightly, thus widening the distance between himself and the other two.

She tried her best to portray the role of a Sand Ninja who knew nothing.

Jiraiya and Yahiko exchanged a few words, when Shima on his shoulder reminded him, "Little Jiraiya, they came to rescue the Sand Village ninja, and now they are our enemies."

In short, the atmosphere turned cold.

Konan said in a pleading tone, "Jiraiya-sensei, war only brings destruction and suffering. We should work together to bring peace between Sunagakure and Konoha."

Jiraiya scanned the expressions of Yahiko and the other two, and seeing their determined gazes, he laughed arrogantly.

"Hahaha, if you want to teach me how to do things, you'll have to see if you have the ability. Sage Art: Goemon!"

Jiraiya used oil, Fukasaku used wind release, and Shima used fire release. The attacks, imbued with sage chakra, overlapped to create a large-scale flame at a temperature of thousands of degrees.

Nagato stepped forward, shielding Yahiko and Konan behind him, and stretched out his hands to meet the flames.

"This is!"

Hyuga Hizashi, following behind Jiraiya, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

The flames touched Nagato's hands and seemed to be sucked into a bottomless black hole, disappearing quickly.

"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"

The flames had just been absorbed when Jiraiya, using the flames as cover, rushed towards Nagato.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Facing the massive Rasengan that was about to touch his face, Nagato uttered four words softly.

In an instant, Jiraiya was thrown back, sliding dozens of meters across the ground, leaving deep ravines in his wake.

Yahiko and the other two did not pursue, but quietly watched Jiraiya stand up.

"Jiraiya, those eyes...could they be..."

Seeing Nagato's incredible abilities, Fukasaku looked into Nagato's eyes and hesitated.

Jiraiya nodded: "These must be the legendary eyes. The moment I saw Nagato, I knew he was the one I was looking for."

After a long and intense battle, Jiraiya's body is gradually transforming into a frog, indicating that his body has been eroded by natural energy. If he continues to maintain Sage Mode, Jiraiya is in danger of turning into a toad statue.

Reluctantly, Jiraiya deactivated Sage Mode, but his emotions were somewhat agitated.

In just a few years, Nagato has grown to this extent and still pursues peace. Perhaps one day in the future, Nagato will truly be able to change this cruel world.

Although his body could still fight, Jiraiya had lost his will to fight.

"Haha, it seems this mission has failed."

Jiraiya stood up, released Fukasaku and Shima from their summoning jutsu, gave Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan a deep look, and then turned to leave.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Seeing Jiraiya leave so decisively, Yahiko and the other two couldn't help but call out to him, their voices filled with reluctance.

Jiraiya did not stop, and quickly retreated with Hyuga Hizashi, since the two sides were enemies and it would be very awkward to talk.

Jiraiya, thick-skinned and unconcerned, was only worried about putting Yahiko and the others in a difficult position.

"Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, I am so fortunate to have disciples like you. I have nothing left to teach you, and you will have to walk your own path from now on."

Jiraiya muttered to himself, then laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, when it comes to teaching disciples, I far surpass Orochimaru and Tsunade. No wonder I am the handsome Toad Sage! Hahaha!"

Chisuke glanced at Jiraiya's disappearing figure, then at Yahiko and the other two who stood motionless like statues waiting for their husbands, and snorted inwardly.

Fake fight!

It was definitely a fake fight!

Jiraiya had just fought us so fiercely, but when he saw his own disciple, he only symbolically exchanged two blows.

As expected, the ninja world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

Even if they are enemies, they can be treated specially if there is a relationship between them; otherwise, they are killed directly.

Despite thinking this to himself, Chisuke still thanked Yahiko and the other two on the surface.

Konan said, "Yakura's injuries are very serious. She must return to Amegakure as soon as possible to receive proper treatment."

Upon hearing this, Sensuke readily agreed and, along with Yahiko, headed to Amegakure, leaving behind a shadow clone to search for the scroll.

The shadow clone quickly located the scroll's location, only to find an explosion site and scattered Sand Ninja headbands nearby.

"Mi Shou is ruthless, leaving no trace of his body, hehehe."

The shadow clone picked up the headband and chased after Chisuke's main body.

"Oh, poor Maki, she died so tragically. I'm sure Ms. Yekura will be very sad when she finds out."
