Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation!)
In the midst of a torrential downpour, a gigantic stone sphere appeared in the sky, stained red with the blood of countless marine creatures. The sphere continuously pressed downwards, and blood-red seawater rained down from the sky.
As the suction force dissipated, a sudden deluge of blood-red rain, filled with a pungent smell of blood, poured down.
This area of the sea turned blood-red, and at this moment, Nagato on the sea surface was breathing heavily. Supported by Tendo Pain slowly opened his eyes with the infusion of chakra, regaining consciousness.
"Nagato!"
From a distance, Konan hurried over, shocked at the sight of the terrifying stone sphere: "This is Planetary Devastation! The Nine-Tails' power is still increasing, not good! It's about to break free!"
Boom!
Instantly, the huge stone sphere in the sky exploded, and a fearsome head of the Nine-Tails emerged, looking grotesque.
It appeared as if it had been skinned, the Nine-Tails looked hideous, but its terrifying chakra was undeniable.
In its Eight-Tails state, it almost revealed its true form. Now, with an angry roar, it was frantically struggling to break free from the stone sphere sealing it.
Meanwhile, Naruto had entered the spiritual world. As the Nine-Tails struggled, he encountered the blond-haired Fourth Hokage, Minato.
"Damn it, it's about to break free!"
At this moment, an exhausted Nagato looked up stubbornly at the Nine-Tails struggling in the sky, seemingly determined to enhance the power of this terrifying ninjutsu.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails, struggling furiously inside the black sphere in the sky, suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, its chakra vanished without a trace.
"Not good!"
As the sphere seemed to lose its power, it began to crumble and fall into the sea from space. Meanwhile, Naruto's figure continuously leaped among the falling rocks.
Boom!
Just awakened, Naruto had no time to react when a massive suction force pulled him, flinging him far away.
Bansho Ten'in (Universal Pull)
Nagato, using Universal Pull, drew Naruto towards him, only to be met with a heavy punch from Naruto.
Boom~
The two engaged in a fierce battle on the water's surface, gradually exhausting their chakra.
Nagato was eventually slammed into a reef. Konan rushed to help but was stopped by Nagato.
"Konan, step back!"
Nagato, wiping the blood from his mouth, slowly stood up, his Rinnegan fixed on his opponent.
The two looked at each other, out of breath, the atmosphere heavy.
"Peace really comes unexpectedly!"
"Do you hate me? Your enemy is right in front of you!" Nagato said coldly to Naruto.
Naruto's purpose in coming to the Rain Village was clear: to avenge his master, Jiraiya. So, Nagato sneered, wanting to expose Naruto's false façade.
"This is pain! So, your so-called mutual understanding leads to peace? Ridiculous. I killed your teacher Jiraiya, can you forgive me? Obito killed your parents, can you forgive him? Even Obito unleashed the Nine-Tails, causing the deaths of so many Konoha ninjas, can you make them forgive him?"
Under Nagato's mockery, a smile slowly formed on his lips at this moment.
"Teacher Jiraiya, it looks like this time I can help you straighten out this troublesome disciple."
Naruto showed a painful and struggling expression, staring intensely at Nagato, while Konan coldly said, "You want to kill Nagato to complete your revenge, right? Do you still think your unrealistic ideas are useful now?"
"This ninja world can only be peaceful under absolute power. After a century, the hatred of the previous generation is buried in the dust of history. Only then might your understanding have value."
However, the next moment Naruto surprised Nagato.
"I came here to talk to you! But there are also other things I want to confirm."
Instantly, Nagato was stunned, and Konan showed a look of astonishment.
At this moment, Naruto's face was somber, as if he was enduring great pain.
"The thing you said you wanted to confirm?"
Nagato had a bad feeling for some reason, recalling Teacher Jiraiya's instructions, his expression became serious.
Naruto, however, spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "I want to confirm my own heart. If my enemy is right in front of me, what exactly would I do? Because even I don't know."
"I really can't forgive you! My body is still trembling, I want to kill you right now!"
Suddenly, Naruto roared in anger, but just as his fist was about to fall, he abruptly stopped.
At this moment, Naruto was painfully struggling with himself. As if influenced by an unknown force inside him, he was full of struggle.
"The Third Hokage said that we should believe in people and gain their recognition, only then will a world of true mutual understanding arrive."
Suddenly, Nagato's face turned ugly, and he coldly said, "With just a few cheap, beautiful words, you want to erase the hatred and interests between people?"
"Even children are greedy, they like other people's toys. Do you think a few words can make people put down their desires?"
"You disappoint me too much!"
At this moment, Nagato couldn't help shaking his head, unable to understand the situation.
"Got it!"
Just then, suddenly ripples appeared in space, revealing a hand aiming for Nagato's remaining Rinnegan eye.
At this moment, Nagato, Konan, and Naruto were completely unprepared, only able to watch in shock as a hand and half a face of Obito suddenly appeared.
The pale fingers were only a hair's breadth from the bloodshot purple Rinnegan eye, even touching the eyelashes, when suddenly the sea beneath Nagato erupted, revealing a blue sphere.
"The Toad Sage Jiraiya has arrived!"
The robust arm suddenly emerged from the sea, with a rapidly spinning blue chakra in the palm of the hand.
Kamui! At this moment, Obito's pupils shrank. It was too fast. The blue Rasengan had already hit his left arm. With the splashing of white liquid, the Rasengan pierced through in an instant.
At the same time, the unrestrained face of white-haired Jiraiya was revealed. There was also the smirk of Nagato's successful plan and the incredulous, shocked expression of Naruto.
Boom!
The waves churned, and suddenly an arm fell from the sky. Jiraiya, standing in front of Nagato, looked at the severed arm and couldn't help but show a hint of regret.
"What a fast reaction."
At this moment, Jiraiya was solemn. He had clearly hit the opponent with the Rasengan, but in an instant, the opponent entered a state of intangibility. However, the residual force of the Rasengan still managed to sever his arm.
"Haha, Nagato, Naruto, are you guys okay?"
The moment before, Jiraiya was solemn and imposing, but the next second, he burst into a goofy laugh.
"Good! The Pervy Sage!"
At this time, Naruto's eyes were brimming with tears, incredulously looking at Jiraiya, who was smiling. It was like a dream.
Similarly, Jiraiya, with a smile on his face, looked at Naruto. However, his heart was not as happy as Naruto's; instead, it was filled with heaviness.
From the moment Naruto stepped into the Rain Village, Jiraiya had sensed it. Initially, Naruto was full of revenge, but gradually, his vengeful heart faded until it suddenly dissipated.
At this moment, Jiraiya sighed in his heart. The will of Ashura was too strong, and Naruto was deeply influenced by it.
And Nagato, panting heavily, still felt the warmth of Obito's fingers in his right eye.
"Teacher Jiraiya, be careful. The opponent is tough."
"Teacher Jiraiya." At this moment, Konan also hurried over, and Jiraiya burst into laughter upon seeing her.
"Haha, don't worry, I, the Toad Sage, am here."
At this moment, Jiraiya's appearance was somewhat similar to Naruto's earlier image, with his face and hands showing toad-like characteristics.
"The Legendary Sannin Jiraiya! You're not dead!"
In the distance, as space rippled, Obito's figure appeared above the sea. He looked at Jiraiya with an ugly expression, clutching his severed left arm.
If it weren't for his timely reaction, he would have been caught.
"Really a tough pair of teacher and student, even their ninjutsu are exactly the same!"
At this moment, Obito obviously recalled some unpleasant memories. His face was extremely ugly. On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, he had his arm broken by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and now, again.
Damn it!
"It's been a trap from the beginning!"
Obito, coming to his senses, coldly looked at the harmonious master and disciple before him, his eyes filled with even more murderous intent.
The angel Konan sneered: "Obito, you know we have a partnership with Uchiha Yoru. What makes you think we would kill Teacher Jiraiya?"
"Of course, someone like you may not understand."
Faced with Konan's mockery, Obito's Sharingan eyes surveyed the others, and he sneered: "I see."
"You've been plotting from the start. Jiraiya faked his death to fool everyone, even Zetzu. He's hiding in the sea near Rain Village."
"Everything, even your return to Rain Village, was to lure me into a trap."
Watching Obito's speculation, Nagato nodded and said coldly: "Exactly, it has been a trap from the beginning. After all, no one would be content being played for so many years."
"I intended to use these Rinnegan eyes and the Gedo Statue to lure you, but you managed to steal one of my Rinnegan eyes and the Gedo Statue."
"But I think you will also take back this one Rinnegan eye. I thought it would draw out the real mastermind, but it turns out it's still you, Obito!"
Nagato's words made Obito's face extremely ugly. "What do you mean!"
"What do I mean?" Nagato sneered mockingly.
"When I discovered that these Rinnegan eyes were transplanted, I started to suspect. You are just a pawn pushed forward by the person behind the scenes. It seems this one Rinnegan eye is still not enough to attract the person behind the scenes."
Nagato's words made Obito somewhat embarrassed and angry, and he angrily opened his left eye, revealing the purple Rinnegan.
"You're worthless, having the Rinnegan means nothing. This world itself is sinful!"
"Uchiha Obito! Who is the person behind you!"
At this moment, Nagato and Jiraiya both glared at Obito, which instead infuriated him.
"Damn it! You look down on me!"
Obito was extremely angry at this point, realizing that all the careful planning by the others was actually targeting the person behind the scenes, not him.
This filled Obito, who had been self-important since Uchiha Madara's death and even prepared to complete the plan alone, with anger.
Humiliation!
"Teacher Jiraiya, based on the timeline, Obito was nobody back then. He was crushed under a boulder due to his lack of strength and couldn't protect his teammate Rin, choosing to die under Kakashi's Chidori in despair."
"What did you say!"
He was called nobody and even looked down upon, which only annoyed him a bit. But mentioning Rin seemed to touch his raw nerve, and in an instant, Uchiha Obito exploded in fury, roaring loudly.
Before the plan was set in motion, Jiraiya faked his death, fearing that the impulsive Naruto might come, so they set up this trap. The idea was to make Naruto fully realize that understanding might be right, but it cannot be the truth and reality.
"Naruto, prepare for Sage Mode."
With Jiraiya in Sage Mode, plus Naruto in Sage Mode, and Rinnegan-wielding Nagato along with the angel Konan.
At this moment, Obito, who lost an arm, looked extremely grim as he stared at the four people in front of him.
"It seems I won't be able to take the Rinnegan today, but do you think you can win?"
Obito was facing unprecedented pressure, not from the four in front of him, but from Uchiha Yoru, which left him feeling incredibly frustrated.
As Nagato said, he really needed someone behind the scenes to make a move. Otherwise, he could handle these four, but what about Uchiha Yoru?
"Naruto, I just witnessed quite a spectacle. You are truly great, worthy of becoming the Hokage."
Although he was praising, the sarcastic smile on Obito's face was evident, even Naruto could see that he was being mocked.
"Naruto, Jiraiya was so good to you, and you could forgive the murderer who killed him. So please, forgive me too. I will create a world with Rin, where the understanding and peace you believe in exist."
"Naruto!" As if realizing something was off with Naruto's mind, Obito said temptingly.
But little did he know how awful Jiraiya looked at the moment. If it were someone else, he wouldn't worry, but with Naruto, his mood was somewhat heavy.
"Naruto! This man has harmed so many people in the village, including your teacher Iruka's parents, and your own parents, Minato and Kushina, were all killed by him."
"This evil brat released the Nine-Tails, let's join forces!"
Under Jiraiya's roar, the expression on Naruto's face became incredibly rich.
He might be hot-blooded, but he's not foolish.
A moment ago, he was talking about mutual understanding, almost forgiving Nagato for killing Jiraiya. Now Obito shows up.
Someone openly says, 'I killed your parents, forgive me, and I will create a world where we understand each other."
"Ah!"
Just then, Obito suddenly screamed in agony, his body erupting in burning black flames.
Amaterasu
A hawk swooped down from the sky, with Uchiha Sasuke standing on it. His pair of hexagonal Mangekyō Sharingan was spinning wildly, especially the left eye, casting the jutsu: Amaterasu.
