Chapter 664: Xu Feng: I'm just a stinking transmigrator, what do I know about peace?

~7 min read 1,373 words

After the transition page ended.

The camera cut to two Amegakure ninjas.

The two, who were rushing through the rain, found a tavern by the roadside and entered with the idea of taking a break.

But they didn't expect this kind of tavern to be disguised by Jiraiya using the internal organs of a toad.

Through these two Amegakure ninjas, Jiraiya immediately learned the first piece of information that shocked him—during the Second Shinobi World War, the leader of Amegakure village, 【Hanzo of the Salamander】, whom he, Tsunade, and Orochimaru could not defeat even when they joined forces, was dead!

And the person who killed him was the new ruler of Amegakure village, known as "Pain."

At this moment, Jiraiya realized once again how powerful the opponent he was about to face was.

But even so, he didn't have the idea of leaving.

Jiraiya had just prepared to leave to investigate the mysterious existence called 【Pain】, suspected to be the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

However, the moment one foot stepped out of the door, the sky full of white paper seemed to have self-awareness, rolled up, and turned into sharp paper airplane shapes, shooting toward Jiraiya.

"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"

The sky full of flames blocked the incoming white paper for the time being, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while.

And from the smoke emitted by the Fire Style, a beautiful figure slowly walked out.

"I didn't expect the first one to come and greet me to be you... your ninjutsu has improved, and you've also become a beauty, Konan."

Jiraiya said with a smile, calling out the character name played by Da Meiyuan.

The next second, Jiraiya restrained the smile on his face, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Konan, who exactly is Pain?"

"Sensei, this has nothing to do with you."

Konan responded coldly, and the sky full of white paper occupied this space completely.

And her own body also seemed like a paper doll, overlapping page by page, with a pair of huge paper wings unfolding behind her.

Cold, beautiful, and carrying a trace of holiness.

More paper hands descended from the sky, and Jiraiya, seeing this, opened his mouth and spat out oil, sticking Konan's paper into a ball.

Jiraiya hesitated but still didn't use Fire Style, instead using Needle Jizo to extend the white hair on the back of his head, wrapping Konan's body in it, temporarily unable to move.

"You, who used to like origami, were the gentlest one among them." Jiraiya's expression was unbearable, and after a few seconds, he secretly gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Pain, which one of them is it?"

Konan didn't answer, but responded with an indifferent expression: "You're thinking, if you had followed Orochimaru's words back then, it wouldn't have turned out like this, right?"

"I haven't thought about such things, I just feel very sad." Jiraiya said, showing a look of grief.

"I taught you the ability to survive in troubled times; I am undoubtedly your master, but now you attack me without even saying hello... it's truly chilling." For a time, both were silent. After a few seconds, Jiraiya spoke again: "Pain... is that child, right?" At this moment, the screen entered the flashback arc.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who had just been given the title 【Legendary Sannin】 by Hanzo of the Salamander, were preparing to withdraw from Amegakure village. But they met three children.

Orochimaru thought that giving them a quick end at this time was the correct decision.

But Jiraiya chose to stay and take care of these three children, letting them at least survive in this cruel era.

Subsequently, Jiraiya also saw the Rinnegan, known as the "head of the three great dojutsu," on a boy named "Nagato"!

After spending 3 years with the three disciples, Jiraiya left the Land of Rain, while Yahiko and the others stayed here, deciding to rebuild their country.

The flashback ended here.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and said again: "In the years after that, I also heard your names, but you died not long after..." Konan's expression became increasingly cold, "Sensei doesn't know what we experienced at all."

"I really don't know, that what 【Akatsuki】 did is wrong." Jiraiya retorted in a low voice.

"This is our own choice, Jiraiya-sensei."

Another cold voice rang out, and a man with a ponytail and iron nails stuck all over his face landed on the other side of the barrier and spoke. "Although the appearance has changed a lot, those eyes are still the same... Nagato."

The first episode of this week's update ended here.

And the audience also realized that this master-disciple battle was on the verge of breaking out!

【Damn, it feels like Xu Feng's show always likes to play with symmetry, the symmetry of Naruto and Gaara's childhood, the symmetry of Obito and Kakashi's relationship, Naruto and Sasuke, now this battle is considered symmetry to Orochimaru killing his master in the first part, right?】

【Orochimaru kills the Third Hokage, Sasuke kills Orochimaru, now it's this Pain killing Jiraiya, it's a traditional skill.】

【I'm a bit afraid to click on the next episode, can Jiraiya still survive?】

【This character Pain is pretentious enough, calling himself a god every other sentence, I want to see what he's capable of.】

【Jiraiya, please don't die, he's the character I like the most in this show.】

Seeing these barrages, Xu Feng also felt a bit emotional for a moment.

It must be said that Jiraiya is definitely one of the few characters in "Naruto" without any flaws.

Whether it's the Third Hokage, Asuma, or Kakashi, or even Minato Namikaze.

They all have more or less flaws.

There's no need to mention the Third Hokage; the conspiracy theories prevalent in his past life almost turned him into the eternal sinner of Konoha.

Kakashi clearly stayed in the village all along, but ignored Naruto, who was bullied for the first twelve years; this point also made many readers quite critical.

Although Minato Namikaze was selfless, he still sealed the Nine-Tails into his son's body, which is one of his few flaws.

These characters, who look great and upright at first glance, can all find some defects more or less.

But Jiraiya really doesn't have any.

As for liking to peep at women, does that count as a flaw? Who doesn't like it? Anyway, Xu Feng said he quite likes it.

The only one who can be compared with Jiraiya is probably Iruka.

It's a pity that Iruka's presence is really not high.

Even many authors writing Naruto fanfiction, no matter how ruthless they depict the protagonist, killing no matter how many people, didn't have the heart to kill Jiraiya.

Isn't it because he really doesn't have any flaws?

Countless audience members, with anxious hearts, clicked on the second episode updated this week.

The battle officially began, and the long-haired ponytail Animal Path took the lead with the Summoning Jutsu.

At the same time, he began to explain to Jiraiya and the audience his purpose for collecting the Tailed Beasts—to create a weapon that could destroy a great country in an instant, and through such extreme fear, make people, countries, and even the whole world feel pain.

Using this method to curb human desires, in this way, war would end and lead to true peace. "Crazy!"

Hearing Pain's rhetoric, many audience members cursed the same three words in their hearts.

Extreme suppression will only lead to extreme resistance.

In the end, Nagato and Obito are the same type. Borrowing Danzo's words to Sasuke in the original work—you just want to vent your hatred.

Just as Xu Feng said during the roadshow promotion of "Fate/Zero."

"It's fine if you want to pursue justice and sacrifice yourself, but don't think about sacrificing others."

And this sentence is the same when applied to Nagato and Obito, and even Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Madara. "It's fine if you want to pursue peace and sacrifice yourself, but don't think about sacrificing others."

And whether it's Nagato's Tailed Beast weapon, Uchiha Itachi's slaughter of the entire clan in the original work, or Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi.
