Chapter 35 Aren't you greedy enough?
41 days until the destruction of the ninja world, Amegakure.
Thick, dark clouds shrouded the entire village, and fine rain fell endlessly from the sky, as if the sorrow in this place would never dissipate.
Jiraiya ventured alone into the depths of the village, his face unusually solemn, his heart filled with countless complex emotions.
Today, Amegakure is filled with an atmosphere of unfamiliarity and oppression.
His heart was even more uneasy, because his mission this time was to conduct an in-depth investigation of the mysterious organization Akatsuki.
Jiraiya walked slowly down the deserted street, sensing every faint fluctuation of chakra around him.
His intuition told him that his actions had probably already been noticed by the other party.
Sure enough, inside a cold and damp tower, Nagato gently opened his Rinnegan.
"Minami, Jiraiya-sensei is here..."
Konan, standing beside Nagato, was startled by what she heard.
For both Jiraiya and Nagato, the name Jiraiya undoubtedly represents a warm and loving time in the past.
"Jiraiya-sensei..."
Xiao Nan murmured softly, her eyes becoming even more sorrowful and complicated.
After a moment of silence, Nagato finally spoke slowly, as if he had made up his mind.
"Go, Minami, and ask Jiraiya-sensei to come over."
A moment later, Jiraiya was walking through the pouring rain, pondering his next move, when he suddenly sensed a familiar yet peculiar aura of chakra.
He suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky. Amidst the raindrops, countless white pieces of paper were falling. The paper seemed to have a life of its own, constantly flying and spinning, and finally gathered in front of him to form a familiar figure.
Jiraiya's pupils contracted slightly, and his heartbeat quickened.
He saw the beautiful yet cold woman before him, who was none other than Xiao Nan, one of the orphans he had personally taught.
"Xiao Nan..."
"I really didn't expect that you've grown into such a beautiful young woman after all these years."
Konan stared at Jiraiya in front of her, her face showing no expression.
After a moment of silence, he spoke indifferently, "Jiraiya-sensei, Pain wants to see you."
"Payne?"

But Xiao Nan didn't give him a chance to speak. She simply took a step back, and the paper behind her quickly extended, transforming into a pair of enormous wings that floated lightly in the air: "Come with me."
Seeing that Konan did not immediately show hostility, Jiraiya breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he also knew that this meeting would definitely not be so simple.
After calming myself down, I followed Xiao Nan's guidance and slowly flew towards the tower shrouded in rain.
The rain continued to fall silently from the sky, as if it were about to completely submerge the entire ninja world.
A moment later, Jiraiya finally stopped in front of a tall and gloomy tower.
He looked up and saw a figure faintly appear at the top of the tower.
The figure stood quietly in the rain, exuding an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression.
He was Pain, or more precisely, Pain's Deva Path controlled by Nagato.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.
The cold raindrops fell on his face, as if reminding him that the past and the present had long been separated by a chasm.
Pain slowly turned around, his indifferent Rinnegan staring silently at Jiraiya. After a moment, he finally spoke, "Jiraiya-sensei, it's been a long time."
The tone... was extremely cold...
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"It's time for a complete change in the ninja world."
Nagato's gaze was deep, and his Rinnegan seemed to contain endless compassion and resolute determination...
"I want to use my Rinnegan to guide the ninja world onto the right path."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya felt an overwhelming sense of vigilance and suspicion.
"Are you Nagato or Yahiko?"
"I am Payne..."
To him, Pain's words were undoubtedly full of provocation and arrogance, practically a declaration of war against the entire ninja world.
Jiraiya frowned, his voice low and solemn as he retorted, "Whether you are Nagato or Yahiko, do you really believe that you alone can challenge the entire ninja world?"
However, Nagato simply shook his head upon hearing this.
His expression was calm, tinged with composure and confidence; his voice was clear and firm...
"I am not alone, nor do I intend to conquer everyone by force. I have my own methods that are enough to make those five arrogant nations put down their superior attitude and learn to listen and cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya felt even deeper doubts arise in his mind.
He recalled the information he had heard from Kakashi, and his expression hardened. He questioned in a deep voice...
"Isn't your method to destroy the entire ninja world, forcing everyone to feel pain through disaster and suffering?"
Upon hearing Jiraiya's accusation, Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise and confusion simultaneously appearing in their eyes.
Konan frowned slightly and explained softly, "Jiraiya-sensei, it seems you've misunderstood us. We never intended to destroy the ninja world; on the contrary, what we want to do is save it."
"save?"
Jiraiya wore an extremely strange and surprised expression, completely unexpected that Nagato would give such a shocking answer.
"That's right."
"We have never had the idea of destroying the world. What we want is to use the Akatsuki organization as the core force to guide the major nations of the ninja world to unite and jointly resist the imminent disaster and crisis."
Upon hearing Nagato's explanation, Jiraiya felt a surge of fear...
He had come prepared for a desperate battle, but the reality before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
For a moment, both sides fell into an eerie silence.
Meanwhile, outside Amegakure, a large number of Root members appeared, led by Danzo, who was simply staring at the enormous waterfall before him.
Jiraiya...
They should have already gone to Amegakure and met that brat with the Rinnegan, right?
Danzo, who has been particularly prone to drowsiness lately, gently closed his eyes and had another short dream…
It's about stopping water...
The scene appears to be from many years ago, showing Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Gen having a heated argument...
Shisui stared at the young Uchiha Gen before him: "You're saying I'm a greedy person?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen's calm expression softened into a hint of mockery.
The voice was deep and powerful…
"Giving too much is a form of greed... a greed for benevolence and affection; while giving too much in return is a greed for trust and an obsession with righteousness."
He chuckled softly, turned around, and completely ignored Uchiha Shisui…
"Uchiha Shisui, you claim to be selfless, but in reality, you are insatiably greedy for the sentiments of both sides. Aren't you greedy enough?"
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.
Uchiha Gen's figure grew increasingly chilling in the night...
His words shattered Shisui's long-held self-perception, leaving no room for rebuttal.
"You are a demon..."
Greedy...
Hiruzen was no different...
Danzo, regaining his senses, looked up and saw Kakashi appear...
"Lord Danzo..."
"Kakashi..."
It turns out that Kakashi had already contacted Obito before arriving at Amegakure.
I learned a secret about the Mangekyou Sharingan...
That is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
If this intelligence is handled properly…
However, as they looked at each other, a subtle emotional shift occurred within them…
