Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 199

"To be precise, I am no different from Jiraiya."

"They're just different souls."

He heard the sound of crabs moving below, and Guoxin Jushi clasped his hands together:

"The art of unleashing the lion's mane."

huh, huh, huh-

The scattered white hair transformed into ropes, which wrapped around the limbs of the giant deep-sea crab with a slight pull.

Snap, thud—

If the summoned beast is severely injured or dies, the contract is automatically terminated.

Upon seeing this, the Animal Path of Pain asked again, "What do you mean by that?"

"no other meaning."

"It's just that Jiraiya and I are the same person, only our fates are different!"

His hair moved again, this time bumping into the Animal Path of Pain and grabbing him.

Tell me, where is Yahiko?

Elsewhere, within the territory of the Thousand Hands, the slime clone felt its life was miserable, having to perform the work of projection.

Its eyes emitted a beam of colorful light, which was reflected in the room with the curtains drawn and the windows closed, reflecting everything the toad in the corner was seeing.

Of course, this toad was also created using the slime transformation technique.

At the same time, it borrowed a certain characteristic of the dragon vein chakra to transmit signals, turning it into real-time image transmission.

"What exactly is this?"

When the real Jiraiya entered the house and saw Konan and 'Nagato', his face was filled with shock.

"Jiraiya-senpai, Shirahoshi-nii said he'll go on your behalf and find out about Danzo's life while he's at it."

"After all, your future goal should also be Amegakure, right?"

"..."

Nawaki's words silenced Jiraiya.

And judging from the ninjutsu techniques of the person in front of him, they were indeed exactly the same as his.

"But where is Shirahoshi? Could she be the person next to Danzo?"

"And who was that person who used my ninjutsu? Why did they imitate me...?"

"Jiraiya, watch it first before you speak."

"I specifically asked you to come here, not to ask questions," Tsunade said. "Use your eyes to find the answers."

#

"You know Yahiko?"

Animal Path Pain was somewhat shocked. "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be Jiraiya-sensei."

"But your ninjutsu reminds me of Jiraiya-sensei."

His gaze swept over Shimura Danzo, who 'knew everything' and was now brimming with confidence:

"Then, Elder Danzo of Konoha."

Do you know the answer?

Danzo sneered: "Of course. But why should I tell you, you brat?"

"It's a real shame I didn't kill you and take your Rinnegan back then!"

Elsewhere, a teacher's fist hardened.

"Oh? Our organization doesn't know much about this matter. Could you tell us about it, Danzo?"

Koshin Koji deliberately said these things here to get Danzo or Nagato to reveal the truth, so he could then start a fight and fulfill his dream of cosplay.

"Although this information is not important."

"But it's still better to record it..."

"Alright. I didn't expect your organization to be so well-informed that you didn't even know about this."

Danzo's eyes flashed with the meaning of the Emperor:

"Your organization must have been established after World War III, right?"

"..."

Seeing Koshin Koji remain silent, Danzo thought he had guessed everything:

"Alright. Let me tell you the truth."

Danzo is now full of confidence. With the powerful Star Platinum, he can run and fight at any time, and he doesn't care about information leaks at all.

Anyway, he's a rogue ninja from Konoha.

Next.

Danzo revealed his initial scheme, explaining that he had only encountered Akatsuki by chance and discovered the Rinnegan. He intended to eliminate them to try and obtain the eyes, but he hadn't expected the red-haired brat to suddenly unleash his power...

-

"Danzo!!!"

Jiraiya was going crazy. He never expected Danzo to be so ruthless, continuing the war in order to make him Hokage, and even harming his disciple in the process!

—The root files don't contain that much information, so Jiraiya only believed that Danzo's encounter with the Rinnegan triggered some conflict...

"What's with the name Jiraiya? Keep watching." Tsunade remained relatively calm, after all, the deed was already done.

"How ugly!" commented Xi Ri Liu Yun.

-

"I see."

Animal Path Pain finally understood why he had encountered such a thing in the past, and he sighed slowly:

"No wonder Hanzo suddenly changed his opinion of our Akatsuki organization; it turns out it was your actions."

"Yahiko was killed because of this."

"How ridiculous!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Nagato has gone a bit mad. Their belief in peace was just a casual act by Danzo halfway through his ugly desire to become Hokage.

"Is the Hokage really that good, Danzo?" Kashin Koji couldn't help but interject when he saw Pain going a bit crazy.

"Well, this has always been my dream." Danzo showed no sign of repentance, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes: "But now, I can't go back."

Fortunately, the situation isn't too bad right now.

"You deserve to die!!"

"Psychic art!"

bang——

In an instant, several sharp marks appeared on Guoxin Jushi's white hair.

Immediately afterwards, Animal Path Pain appeared on the other side as a substitute wooden figure.

"Here you are, Danzo."

Riding atop the chameleon lizard, the Beast Path of Pain formed hand seals once more:

"Feel the pain, experience the pain."

"Hmph! Don't forget, I still have Star Platinum!!"

"Go, Star Platinum!!!"

Danzo gestured for Star Platinum to release him, and Star Platinum nodded in response.

Upon seeing Pain summon the brown-furred hellhound, he grabbed Danzo and swung him forward:

"superior!!"

Danzo: "???"

Danzo was dumbfounded. All the wonderful future he had imagined over the past few days shattered completely at this moment.

"Why...why is this happening?!"

Danzo let out a painful howl. Pain was puzzled, but still had his hellhound bite Danzo as he flew towards him.

Sharp teeth pierced through Danzo's body.

Danzo now feels like his soul has died.

"Why...am I not the chosen one?"

"Guoxin Jushi!! You bastard, you actually lied to me!!!"

"From the very beginning, I've only been using you. Don't get me wrong, Danzo."

Seeing that Platinum Star was standing next to Koshin Koji, Danzo was completely heartbroken.

"Eat him." Without saying a word, Pain, the Beast Path, ordered his hellhound to swallow Danzo.

At this moment, Danzo had already used up the Inner Four Symbols Seal within his body, and simply transformed into a small piece of jerky from a summoning dog, which was then swallowed by the hellhound in a few gulps.

At this moment, the Animal Path of Pain noticed that the Platinum Star in front of him had transformed into a handsome young man.

This time he finally saw it clearly!

"What an enormous and powerful chakra!"

In her line of sight, Shirahoshi's chakra was no less than that of any tailed beast, and perhaps even stronger.

Before transmigrating, Bai Xing had already removed the seals and restraints on her body.

At this moment, Nagato became wary, wondering why such a powerful person would bring Danzo, who was inexplicably disabled, here... Also, who was the person next to him whom Danzo referred to as Kashin Koji?
