Chapter 162

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said in a low tone!

Once upon a time, Yakushi Kabuto had also killed the person most important to him; that was exactly how he felt back then!

"Master Jiraiya, I think you should find a time to visit the Rain Hidden Village. What do you think?"

Yakushi Kabuto's words made Minato ponder for a moment, then he looked up at Jiraiya and asked.

"Better not for now. After all, the relations between the two countries are so tense. It's better to wait until the matter with Hanzo settles down before I go over!"

Jiraiya was somewhat tempted by Minato's suggestion, but he wasn't an impulsive man. After thinking it over, he spoke.

"That's fine too. I hope Nagato and Konan can come to terms with it soon!"

Minato also knew that this wasn't the best time to visit the Rain Hidden Village. Seeing that his teacher's thoughts aligned with his own, Minato said nothing more.

"If it were that simple to come to terms with, then their emotions would be too cheap!"

At this moment, Uchiha Obito, who had been standing to the side without speaking, suddenly stepped forward.

If one were to ask who among those present could best understand Nagato's feelings right now, that person would undoubtedly be Obito.

Both had struggled their entire lives for the peace they envisioned, sacrificing their own lives for it!

Both had seen their paths go astray after experiencing the death of a teammate!

Both had killed their own teacher after their paths went astray!

And both, after meeting someone, had rediscovered the path they had once abandoned!

It could be said that the lives of Obito and Nagato had far too many similarities!

Precisely because of this, Obito understood Nagato's feelings very well at this moment.

"Hmph, it is precisely because of the pain experienced during those losses that people cherish things all the more when they regain them!

I think you can leave them be. If they can't even work through this small bit of pain, then you are underestimating the founder of the Akatsuki!"

Orochimaru, who had been watching the show from the side, suddenly spoke, his tone revealing his usual indifference!

For someone like Orochimaru who had relied on himself all the way, he had no need for comfort or anything of the sort!

If he was hurt, he would find a place to hide and lick his wounds, and when the day came for them to heal, he would stand up and fight alone! That was why he particularly detested those who were overly sentimental.

"I also agree with Orochimaru! If Nagato and the others want to change the Rain Hidden Village, they must move past this incident as quickly as possible!

So I think we should put this matter aside for now!"

Nara Shikaku, the strategist of Konoha, spoke up.

"But having said that, Master Jiraiya, the time it takes for you to enter Sage Mode is a bit too long!

The enemies we will face in the future are a hundred times stronger than Pain!

If you have time, you might want to think of a way to improve it!"

"Indeed! I've been trying to find a way to improve it recently, but I haven't had any leads!"

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

He had indeed been having a headache over this recently, especially after seeing the growth of younger generations like Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi; this thought had become even more urgent!

"You could consider increasing your own chakra reserves for this suggestion!"

As a fellow practitioner of Sage Art from Mount Myoboku, Nagato could naturally see the flaws in Jiraiya's Sage Art!

The power of Sage Art is closely related to one's own chakra reserves; that is precisely why the First Hokage's Sage Art was unrivaled!

"Then, would you consider implanting the First Hokage's cells?

That way, you could significantly increase your chakra storage capacity!"

Yakushi Kabuto suggested from the side.

"Let me think about it! I'll see if there are any other methods first. If there really aren't any, then I'll consider that."

Jiraiya was still somewhat resistant to the idea of implanting cells. This was the difference between him and the two of them, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto!

For those two, as long as it could enhance their strength, they would stop at nothing, but Jiraiya would not!

Deep down, Jiraiya still hoped to achieve strength through his own efforts!

In terms of the current combat power in the Ninja World, Jiraiya's strength was undoubtedly among the top tier!

But such combat power couldn't cause any real damage to the Otsutsuki!

Everyone in the Ninja World was very clear about this! Jiraiya was naturally no exception!

"Excuse me, can we learn Sage Art too?"

Just as Jiraiya was thinking about how to become stronger, Darui from the Cloud Village suddenly asked.

It is well known that the three great sacred places for practicing Sage Art are Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsurin!

But apart from people from Konoha, no one from other villages had ever been to these three places, let alone practiced Sage Art!

Having experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War, no one dared to underestimate the power of Sage Art!

Previously, they hadn't had the opportunity to consult Konoha about Sage Art!

But tonight, with Jiraiya's video being broadcast, they wanted to take this opportunity to raise the questions in their hearts!
