Chapter 480
Looking at Painâs three corpses, Jiraiya made a little complicated expression. Eventually, he sighed and turned away.
It wasnât long before Jiraiya heard Painâs voice, âJiraiya-sensei, it is you who shouldnât take your opponent lightly at any time!â
Jiraiyaâs expression changed greatly, and in an instant, his hand was cut off by ShuradÅ.
(Ps: Jiraiya was severed by the ShuradÅ sneak attack scene and was criticized by many fans. It is well known that Sage Mode users have a strong sense ability. There was no way Jiraiya couldnât sense ShuradÅâs attack. Even if Jiraiya cannot sense it, the two Sennin should be able to. But because none of the three couldnât sense it, many fans think that Jiraiya was forcefully killed by Kishimoto regardless of the setting.)
Jiraiya resisted the Pain and rushed out of the pipeline, while JigokudÅ took the opportunity to resurrect Painâs three bodies.
A moment later, Painâs RikudÅ, the six pairs of Rinnegan plus the three bodies that were killed, were resurrected.
It left Jiraiya and the two Sennin a huge impact.
â¦â¦..
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, at Hokageâs Office, Tsunade stood in front of the window while gazing at Amegakure.
âTsunade-sama, are you worried about Jiraiya-sama again? You can rest assured, Jiraiya-sama will return safely.â Shizune reassured.
âThat guy isnât coming back!â Tsunade said to Shizune, âI said this when I bet with him. After all, I always lose on a bet!â
Shizune laughed and said nothing, while Tsunade remembered the scenes that day, and she remembered every word of Jiraiya clearly.
âThis guy, he knows how to play it cool, and itâs time for him to stop from playing cool when he comes back,â Tsunade murmured, the smile on her face reflected on the glass.
â¦â¦â¦
Amegakure.
Fukasaku Sennin looked at Painâs RikudÅ and said with alertness in his voice, âThere are six people! What exactly is Pain?!â
Jiraiya shivered after seeing the man that led the Pain RikudÅ, âYou ⦠you are Yahiko! What the hell is going on! Isnât Yahiko dead?â
Tendo answered indifferently, âYahiko is indeed dead. It is Pain who is standing here! Pain is God!â
After speaking, Pain RikudÅ attacked at the same time and surrounded Jiraiya. Jiraiya ignored the other bodies and rushed directly to Tendo, trying to look closely at the person in front of him.
Tendo snorted coldly and rushed toward Jiraiya. Behind Tendo, ShuradÅ followed closely while firing numerous missiles from his hand.
Jiraiya climbed to the wall, avoiding ShuradÅâs missiles. Tendo immediately destroyed the wall, and Jiraiya fell into the sea.
Jiraiya, who dived into the sea, summoned a toad and then quietly swam under Pain.
..â¦..
Fukasaku looked for the target, and at the same time, Shima Sennin stuck out her tongue and pulled ChikushÅdÅ into the stomach of Toad underwater.
With just ChikushÅdÅ Pain alone in the Toadâs stomach, Jiraiya can defeat him easily. Jiraiya hid in the dark, and when he saw the timing, he unleashed Rasengan on ChikushÅdÅâs stomach. ChikushÅdÅ immediately vomited blood and fell into the stomach acid.
âDad, do you think he died?â
âWell, being hit directly by Jiraiyaâs Rasengan should leave his internal organs in shambles and destroy it. He was already dead before he fell into stomach acid.â
Jiraiya seemed to think the same way. He slowly approached the stomach acid to fish out the corpse of ChikushÅdÅ. After all, Ninjaâs corpse often contains a lot of information.
What surprised them was that ChikushÅdÅ actually crawled out of the stomach acid and pierced Jiraiyaâs chest directly with a black iron rod.
Fukasaku Sennin helped Jiraiya pull out the iron rod and asked, âJiraiya, are you all right?â
Jiraiya shook his head.
Shima Sennin looked at Pain and said, âWho in the world is he⦠For him to be left unscathed after being soaked in stomach acid for so long and can still move.â
As Shima Sennin said with quite a tone, ChikushÅdÅâs headband fell off due to the erosion of stomach acid, exposing the scar on his forehead.
When Jiraiya looked at ChikushÅdÅâs forehead, the memory of the past begins flowing out. He remembered the fight he had with ChikushÅdÅ.
âI think I understand his real identity, but I need to go back and verify it first. Big sister, please leave first! Leave it to me and the boss!â
âJiraiya, are you crazy?! You will die if I go back. We have got one of Painâs bodies, we should retreat for now.â Shima Sennin immediately objected.
âDonât complain. Just go back first! Iâll go with Jiraiya.â
âButâ¦â
âItâll be fine. You know his character, right?â
Shima Sennin was silent for a moment, then sighed and disappeared from Jiraiyaâs shoulder.
âBoss, if you feel you are in danger, please also â¦.â
âYou can relax, I wonât be joking about my life.â
Jiraiya nodded and left Toadâs stomach with Fukasaku Sennin and returned to the sea.
â¦â¦.
Jiraiya looked at the rest of Painâs five bodies, instantly affirming his guess. These people are all their opponents; they are all dead people. In other words, the so-called Pain was nothing but Puppet. None of these people are the main body of Pain.
After Shurado found Jiraiya, he immediately launched an attack because Jiraiya knew Painâs secrets. Unfortunately, Jiraiya was too late. He was no match for Painâs Rikudo.
In the end, just like in the original work, Jiraiya left a dying message on the back of Fukasaku Sennin, and Jiraiya then sank into the sea.
But what Pain didnât know was that Yamanaka Ryo, hiding in-between time and space, rescued Jiraiya.
Jiraiya suffered a severe injury, and Yamanaka Ryo teleported back immediately to Orochimaruâs laboratory. Orochimaru saw heavily wounded Jiraiya engulfed in anger, something that Yamanaka Ryo had never seen.
Orochimaru needed to rescue Jiraiya right now, so Yamanaka Ryo quickly calmed him down, âUncle Snake, calm down. Now the most important thing is to rescue Uncle Jiraiya.â
âOf course I know that!â
Orochimaru took a deep breath and soon calmed down. The two immediately put themselves into the intense rescue operation.
â¦â¦
At the same time, in an unknown cave, White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said to Obito, âPain has done it, Jiraiya is dead.â
Obitoâs expression changed greatly under the mask. From Namikaze Minatoâs story, Obito had a very good impression of Jiraiya, and he respected his attitude.
White Zetsu felt something strange. Konoha had lost a lot of its battle strength, yet Obito didnât seem to be happy. White Zetsu whispered, âIs something wrong, Obito?â
âItâs nothing, just remembering something about Jiraiya. What about Sasuke? Howâs it going?â
âHis injury has been healed. He should wake up soon.â
