Chapter 30: Jiraiya and Nagato Meet as Master and Disciple

Su Han narrowed his eyes, neither confirming nor denying it.

After finishing Naruto, Nagato Uzumaki should have realized that the Rinnegan actually belonged to Madara Uchiha.

Keeping it with him was merely a way to nurture it, hoping that in the future he could use Samsara Life Rebirth to revive Madara Uchiha.

Upon realizing this, Nagato Uzumaki felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

He no longer arrogantly regarded himself as a god.

The reason he had once considered himself a god stemmed ultimately from the Rinnegan's immense power—the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths—which he ironically used to label himself divine.

Now that the Rinnegan was given to him by someone else, how could he still have the audacity to claim that?

Su Xiao: "Earlier I saw Whitebeard kill Blackbeard and directly gained quite a few points. Logically speaking, you two should also gain points after finishing Naruto and meeting in person for the first time? If not, why not try streaming it?"

Fourth Hokage: "..."

Fourth Hokage: "Now that you mention it, that does sound somewhat reasonable."

Minato Namikaze fell into deep thought. Though he had confidence in his own talent, the image of gods walking the earth during the late Hokage era still filled him with immense pressure.

At that time, without a bloodline limit related to the Ōtsutsuki clan, merely participating in battle would be extremely difficult.

No matter how much faith he had in himself, Minato had to prepare thoroughly. After all, he never intended to leave everything behind for his son alone.

And clearly, the guild might just be the turning point capable of changing fate. Thus, earning points was equally critical.

"Ding! The Fourth Hokage has started a live broadcast."

"Ding! Altering history—Fourth Hokage gains 500 points! 'Let the world taste pain' gains 500 points."

Meanwhile, Su Han's brows slightly lifted.

He also received a notification—the points had increased by another 1,000.

"As expected."

A faint smile tugged at Su Han’s lips, his eyes glinting subtly. He realized he seemed to have discovered yet another way to farm points.

Black Cat Clan Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel: "So altering historical events can earn points? But is live broadcasting absolutely necessary?"

Shishiko Kasumi: "It might not be necessary! However, from this perspective, changing history is essential... In other words. @Su Xiao. Lord Guild Leader, could you extract memory copies of our worlds?"

Time-Controlling Shirou Homura: "Extracting memory copies—count me in!"

Great Lady Sister: "Extracting memory copies—count me in too!"

Jackie Chan Doesn't Want Archaeology: "Can we extract memory copies? Add 10086!"

I Am Marquis: "@Jackie Chan Doesn't Want Archaeology. What are you, a grown man, shouting about? Didn’t you hear what Guild Leader said earlier? Obtaining a memory copy is simple—just hand over the twelve talismans to Lord Guild Leader!"

Jackie Chan Doesn't Want Archaeology: "???"

Jackie Chan suffered severe psychological trauma; the *Jackie Chan* ship officially sank.

Su Xiao: "@Great Lady Sister. @Time-Controlling Shirou Homura. You both make valid points. Perhaps I really should upload the memory copies of your respective worlds."

Both girls were stunned. Why did the Guild Leader seem so agreeable this time?

Su Xiao: "But whether or not you actually want to see them—that decision must be yours alone."

Great Lady Sister: "???"

Great Lady Sister: "Lord Guild Leader, what are you talking about? What do you mean we have to decide for ourselves?"

Shirou Homura didn’t understand—did watching her own future require some kind of preparation?

Su Xiao: "Your worlds are far darker than they appear on the surface! @Time-Controlling Shirou Homura! I'm not sure where exactly your story has progressed to, but your tale is far from a happy one..."

Su Xiao: "@Great Lady Sister. Likewise, Academy City is far less bright than its surface suggests. Or rather, quite the opposite—the brighter the surface, the deeper the darkness lurking beneath."

Su Xiao: "Especially since many affairs in Academy City involve those espers."

Su Han stared at the guild chat interface.

In truth, he had already made up his mind—whether Shirou Homura or Shirou Homura agreed or not, he would upload the memory copies of these two worlds regardless.

Still, he felt obligated to say something beforehand—at least let them know what to expect.

One's own world is never as beautiful as it appears on the surface.

Great Lady Sister: "I see... Does it involve Great Sister? Then there's no choice! Lord Guild Leader, please absolutely upload the memory copies. If it truly concerns Great Sister, I swear on my life—I won’t let go, no matter how dark the future may be."

When it came to espers, Shirou Homura understood immediately.

Time-Controlling Shirou Homura: "Hmm... Back when I first became a magical girl, I knew nothing at all! If there truly are great calamities ahead... then if possible, Lord Guild Leader, please tell us. At least give me some mental preparation."

"Ding! Su Xiao has uploaded memory copies: *A Certain Scientific Railgun*, *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*."

Su Xiao: "Brace yourselves."

A brief silence followed. Great Lady Sister and Time-Controlling Shirou Homura stopped speaking entirely—clearly absorbed in viewing the two memory copies.

Meanwhile.

Naruto World.

Minato Namikaze was holding a meeting with Nagato Uzumaki at Ichiraku Ramen.

"Sensei, even you couldn't have imagined we'd meet again under such circumstances, could you?"

Minato looked at Jiraiya beside him, whose expression was complex, then at Nagato Uzumaki, emotionless as he sat in a wheelchair.

Nagato Uzumaki sat in a wheelchair, pushed forward by the Deva Path of Pain—the Tendō puppet created using弥勒's body.

Jiraiya gazed at Nagato Uzumaki's severed legs, then at the impassive face of the Deva Path, opened his mouth, but no words came out. After a long while, he finally lowered his head in utter despair.

"How did it come to this... Everything was fine back then."

The reason Jiraiya appeared here was because Minato summoned him via a toad messenger, claiming an urgent matter.

Considering Minato wouldn't joke about something like this, Jiraiya immediately abandoned his research and rushed back to Konoha.

Though he had mentally prepared himself—if Minato told him right now that the Fourth Shinobi World War was about to begin, he wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest.

But he truly hadn't expected—to see his long-lost disciple again within the village of Konoha.

And...

Jiraiya looked at the red-clouded black cloak worn by the Deva Path, his voice trembling slightly.

"I never imagined... the Akatsuki organization I've been chasing all along... would include you."
