"What, I've never heard you mention this before? So, does that mean this guy is also a candidate for the Child of Prophecy?"
Fukasaku said in shock, with a tone of reproach towards Jiraiya, blaming him for not informing him of such an important matter immediately.
"And I heard he was already dead, so I always thought he wasn't the Child of Prophecy."
"Anyway, if he hasn't taken the right path, we can only kill him."
Fukasaku said seriously. The Child of Prophecy is someone who can lead the world to change, and they absolutely cannot allow the world's change to go in a bad direction.
"But that prophecy is just the ramblings of a confused old man, don't take it to heart. Let's get started."
Shima said.
At the same time, the toad Gamakichi appeared in front of Minato again.
In an instant, she attracted the attention of Tsunade and Hatake Satoru.
"Gamakichi, has something happened again?"
Minato quickly asked.
"Yes."
Shima nodded solemnly.
"Gamaken returned to Mount Myoboku seriously injured."
"What?"
Before Gamakichi could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted.
"Minato, what are you waiting for, go save Jiraiya now."
Tsunade was somewhat familiar with Gamaken, after all, Jiraiya summoned Gamaken more often than Gamabunta, so she knew what Gamaken's strength was like.
And now that he was seriously injured, it meant that Jiraiya's condition wouldn't be much better, at least that's what Tsunade thought.
"Let me finish, Tsunade-sama."
Gamakichi raised her voice a bit.
"When Gamaken returned to Mount Myoboku, the two Sages were also summoned by Jiraiya, so Jiraiya must have entered Sage Mode by now."
"Sage Mode? It seems that the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain, is indeed not a simple character."
Minato thought to himself. Jiraiya in his normal state already had strong Kage-level strength, and in Sage Mode, Jiraiya could be said to be at the peak of Kage-level.
"However, since Jiraiya has entered Sage Mode, he should be safe for a while, right?" Hatake Satoru said.
In Sage Mode, Jiraiya can easily handle three or four Pains, but if all six Pains attack together, Jiraiya's only outcome is death.
"Now you can rest assured, Tsunade-sama. You should be well aware of how powerful Jiraiya-sensei is in Sage Mode," Minato said to Tsunade.
Tsunade bit her lower lip. She admitted that Jiraiya in Sage Mode was indeed very strong, at least stronger than she was. But for some reason, she still felt uneasy.
"Ten minutes, give Jiraiya-sensei ten more minutes," Minato said, seeing Tsunade's state.
Hearing Minato's words, Tsunade raised her head and looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression.
"If within these ten minutes, whether Jiraiya-sensei asks for help or not, after ten minutes, whether he has figured out Pain's identity or not, I will bring Jiraiya-sensei back,"
Minato said firmly. He knew his teacher was in a very dangerous situation, and his heart was also in torment. So these ten minutes were a limit Minato set for himself.
"Okay," Tsunade nodded. She thought Jiraiya in Sage Mode should be able to hold on for ten minutes.
"Gamakichi, you go back first. If anything happens, notify me immediately."
"Yes, Minato"
Gamakichi said and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya in Sage Mode also made a move. To be precise, it was the Shima on his shoulder who made a move.
She extended her tongue, which had eyes, a nose, and a mouth on it, and it stretched forward like a long snake.
"Found it,"
Shima said, then wrapped her tongue around a spot. Green blood appeared from the void and flowed onto her tongue.
Then, the invisible Summoned Beast revealed itself.
"Fukasaku" Shima shouted. Fukasaku opened his mouth, and sharp water streams shot out like water knives, cutting everything in their path in half, including the now visible Summoned Beast.
After the Summoned Beast disappeared, Animal Path Pain appeared in front of Jiraiya and the two toads.
"Is that the Rinnegan? It really looks exactly like the legendary eyes," Shima said seriously.
"The ominous eyes, I didn't expect this guy to be the Child of Prophecy," Fukasaku added. After all, they had subconsciously regarded anyone with the Rinnegan as the Child of Prophecy.
"Summoning Jutsu."
With a clap of his hands, Animal Path Pain summoned two more people around him.
"Are these human-shaped Summoned Beasts this time?" Jiraiya asked.
However, the other side didn't answer Jiraiya's question. But when the other two raised their heads, Jiraiya's eyes went blank.
"Three people? What's going on? There are actually three people with the Rinnegan? Is it that guy's Ninjutsu? There must be some trick to it, right?"
Jiraiya seemed to be talking to himself, or asking the two toad sages, or even asking Pain in front of him.
But even in the face of three people with the Rinnegan, Jiraiya's expression showed no fear, and neither did the two sages. They even wanted to finish the battle quickly and go back to prepare dinner.
At this moment, one of the Pains suddenly rushed towards Jiraiya, but Jiraiya reacted quickly and kicked the opponent in the face, sending him flying.
"Well done," Animal Path Pain praised.
"Let's quickly take care of these guys."
"Shima, you use oil, Fukasaku, you use Wind Release."
"Got it."
Jiraiya clapped his hands.
"Sage Art: Goemon."
Wind Release, oil, and Fire Release were sprayed from the mouths of the two toads and Jiraiya, greatly enhancing the power of the Fire Release.
At this moment, the fat Pain suddenly stepped forward and extended his hands towards the massive wave of fiery oil.
