Chapter 512 Jiraiya's Decision, Farewell to Tarojiro
"That must be right. The reason Nagato was able to control Hanzo's corpse as a puppet is because of the effect of these black rods."
During the Third Battle of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya grasped the extracted black chakra rod and muttered to himself, suddenly realizing the truth.
Although the black rods are not currently receiving Nagato's chakra, he can still sense its ability to transmit chakra.
Only in this way can we explain why the puppet Hanzo could unleash the Rinnegan's ninjutsu. After all, without chakra, even the most powerful abilities are like a rootless plant!
"Jiraiya, now that you know the secret of the Rinnegan, are you still going to Amegakure?" Fukasaku asked solemnly from the side. "Even if you know the secret, it won't be easy to defeat that guy. Especially that ninjutsu he unleashed at the end, it's a move that no human can resist."
Jiraiya's pupils contracted upon hearing this, instantly recalling the ninjutsu Nagato had used at the end, which could absorb all matter from the seal.
"If you insist on going again, should we ask Minato to come with us? With his Flying Thunder God Technique, plus your information and strength, we should be able to defeat that Rinnegan."
Seeing Jiraiya's eyes flicker, Fukasaku couldn't help but suggest calling out.
“Minato?” Jiraiya murmured, then resolutely refused, “No, we can’t let Minato get involved in this for now.”
"He is now the Fourth Hokage of the village, representing Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. If I go to Nagato, I can do so in my master's personal capacity, but if Minato goes, it will inevitably trigger a war!"
“Nagato and his group haven’t done anything outrageous yet. Even if they kill Hanzo and reform Amegakure, it’s still their internal affair.”
"If the Hokage of Konoha were to capture the leader of Amegakure at this time, we would be in the wrong from any perspective."
"Furthermore, we need to gather more information about Nagato, especially about that three-tomoe Sharingan..."
Upon hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Fukasaku nodded repeatedly, but a new problem arose!
If they weren't called the Fourth Hokage, how could they defeat the opponent? And if they didn't defeat Nagato, how could they guide him to fulfill the Great Toad Sage's prophecy?
"It's decided! I'm going to develop even more powerful Sage Art ninjutsu. With a more powerful technique, I'm sure I can defeat Nagato!" Suddenly, Jiraiya slapped his forehead, his voice resounding. "I've already figured out the weakness of that technique!"
"Oh, you've already seen through that technique's weakness?" Fukasaku's eyes lit up with surprise and delight, but then he thought of something and curled his lip in disdain. "I hope you can maintain your enthusiasm this time and not find some excuse to peep at girls bathing halfway through..."
"Ahem, what are you saying, Fukasaku-saku?" Jiraiya's face darkened instantly, and he turned to look at the rising sun on the horizon. "Don't underestimate the determination of the hero Jiraiya! I am one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, the great teacher who guides the chosen ones to change the world!!"
"And I've also made some progress on that magic technique..."
"Is that so? I hope so!" Fukasaku crossed his arms and remained noncommittal, causing Jiraiya to break out in a deep frown, but he could only sigh helplessly!
While it's easy to talk big, actually performing that magic is quite difficult.
After all, that was an S-rank ninjutsu that even Minato couldn't complete—Sage Art: Rasengan with nature transformation added.
On the other side, in Konoha year 62.
"Nohara 'Rin'? Master Tsunade, what are you saying? She's also your disciple, teacher? And my senior sister??" Karin exclaimed in surprise and doubt upon hearing Tsunade's introduction at Konoha Hospital.
Didn't they say that Master Tsunade had never taken on any disciples before her?
Even Sister Jingyin, who had followed him for many years, only received some advanced medical techniques guidance and did not receive any real secret techniques.
"Um, this was actually an accident, I accidentally forgot!" Tsunade hurriedly said with an embarrassed laugh, making Karin roll her eyes.
Keep making things up...
Forgotten? Such a vital disciple, just forgotten like that??
Damn it, this is insulting her intelligence...
“Speaking of which, I feel like I’ve seen ‘Rin’ somewhere before, but I just can’t remember where.” Sakura looked at Nohara Rin with a mixture of envy and suspicion, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar.
That face...it seems like I've seen it somewhere before...
"Oh right, Nohara. I saw her in Kakashi-sensei's class photo. She looks a lot like that senior named Nohara Rin, only a bit older and without the purple face paint."
Suddenly, Sakura realized what was happening, which instantly brought Karin back to her senses.
Yes, that's right. She saw that photo too; it really does look like him, even sharing the same surname and a similar first name.
"Ahem, Rin is a descendant of Rin's clan, so stop making wild guesses!" Tsunade quickly interrupted, afraid that the two would continue to argue about this issue.
"Well, I didn't call you here to say these things, but to announce something important."
Karin and Sakura immediately turned to look at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Seeing this, Tsunade's red lips curled slightly and her gaze shifted. "Sakura, your talent for medical ninjutsu is the best in the special training class, so today, I will officially accept you as my last disciple."
Under Sakura's excited gaze, her breathing quickened and her surprise mixed with delight, Tsunade dropped another bombshell.
"From today onwards, the three of you will receive my ninjutsu inheritance. I will teach you the most powerful medical secrets. Now, let's begin with the S-rank ninjutsu, Yin Seal..."
"Yes, Master Tsunade." The three women called out in unison, including Nohara Rin, who had already begun to master the Yin Seal!
Although the techniques are the same, Tsunade's experience and application of techniques are far superior to those of Tsunade in the Third Shinobi World War.
Meanwhile, at the secret base.
"Taro, Jiro, it's been a long time!" Ishikawa sighed as he looked at his two younger brothers who had rushed back, looking travel-worn.
More than half a year ago, he issued a mission for the two of them to leave the village to find information about Akatsuki members. It has been a long time since they last met!
"Brother, congratulations on your promotion to captain of the Dark Guard." Taro greeted him with a smile, while Jiro beside him nodded vigorously, "Congratulations, brother..."
"Hehe! If that's the case, then I must congratulate you two on becoming the first and second squad leaders of the Anbu." Ishikawa said with a light smile, uttering two titles that were both unexpected and expected by the two men.
Without giving the two a chance to continue their pleasantries, Ishikawa's expression turned serious and he went straight to the point, "I called you back this time because I have an important mission for you. The previous intelligence gathering mission is terminated."
"Mission terminated?" Taro and Jiro exchanged a dumbfounded glance. "But brother, we've already gathered some information on the Akatsuki members. Furthermore, we've basically confirmed the whereabouts of Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, Uchiha Itachi, and his partner, Hoshigaki Kisame."
"What??" Ishikawa turned his head in surprise, not expecting his two underlings, who were empowered by the Byakugan with three tomoe, to be so capable.
So, should he give Sasuke a surprise when he returns?
