Chapter 425
[“Ha! The first time the power of the Rinnegan was displayed was to attack the Iwagakure ninja. I am dying of laughter!”]
[“I remember that during World War II, the Iwagakure didn’t seem to do anything serious. They just joined in the fun. How could a Chunin be so poor as to rob civilians of food and money in the Raingakure?”]
[“In that messy environment, who knows if this Iwagakure ninja is real or fake? Maybe he is a wandering ninja.”]
[Jiraiya looked stunned, and subconsciously searched for the legend about the Six Paths Sage in his memory: ‘The Six Paths Sage is regarded as the ancestor of ninjas. It is said that all the current ninjutsu was created by the Sage with the Rinnegan.’]
[‘He is the creator god who gave birth to everything with his hands when the world fell into chaos. He is also the destroyer god who can reset everything. I thought it was just a myth, but I didn’t expect that people with the Rinnegan really exist. ’】
【Looking at Nagato walking by with Konan’s support, Jiraiya suddenly remembered the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage: ‘Could it be that Nagato is the reformer...’】
【The corners of his mouth lifted up involuntarily, and Jiraiya made a decision: ‘This may be a fateful encounter. ’】
[“I’m a little curious. When the Six Paths Sage was regarded as a legend in the past, how did the saying of the Three Eye Techniques come down?”]
[“After all, it really existed.”]
[“Although the saying of the Three Eye Techniques has been circulating, it is mentioned less and less. If it weren’t for the real example of Nagato, perhaps in a few decades, this saying would not exist.”]
[“In Jiraiya’s eyes, the Six Paths Sage is also a figure in myth and legend. It seems that even Konoha does not have accurate information about the Six Paths Sage. Everything was buried in history along with the extermination of the Uchiha clan.”]
[“Maybe the Six Paths Sage really existed, but he can’t be completely equated with the description in the legend. For example, the saying “all ninjutsu were created by him” is obviously a description that was added by later generations. After all, you can’t say that Naruto’s Rasenshuriken is also a move that the Six Paths Sage used who knows how long ago. ”]
[“Although it is not a technique he created, I think that people of that level should be able to use the same moves after just a few glances and a little understanding. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has mastered all ninjutsu.”]
[“I don’t know how much of the creation myth is artistic processing. Judging from Nagato’s current performance, he is indeed very strong, but there is still a big gap compared to the legend of the Six Paths Sage.”]
[“Every choice has a reason. If it weren’t for the prophecy, Jiraiya might have dealt with Nagato in other ways.”]
[“I still hold the same view. Even if there is no prophecy, Jiraiya saw the legendary Samsara Eye, so he had to bring him back to Konoha. What on earth is the reason for leaving him outside to grow on his own, and even with Yahiko, who has expressed malice towards other countries, accompanying him.”]
[“I have decided to teach you ninjutsu. "Jiraiya said to the three children, explaining the reason amid Yahiko's cheers: "Because things like before that could endanger your lives could happen at any time, I want to teach you ninjutsu to protect yourself."]
[However, Nagato was not very interested in this, but Yahiko, who was in an excited state, did not notice that his mood was wrong, and just kept emphasizing how to protect the two people around him after becoming stronger.]
[One night, a low sob woke Jiraiya up. Finding that Nagato was not in his bed, Jiraiya followed the crying and came outside. He saw Nagato sitting at the door, burying his face in his knees and sobbing.]
["If there was no Samsara Eye, perhaps Jiraiya would only take care of them until they were able to be independent, and whether to teach them ninjutsu was another matter. ”]
[“That’s why Jiraiya fought with Pein until the very end. After all, it was all his fault. Whether it was that his disciples didn’t follow the right path or that Akatsuki, a terrorist organization that endangered the ninja world, emerged, he had no choice but to take responsibility as a teacher.”]
[“In fact, Jiraiya has been responsible enough. After all, they are just orphans from three neighboring countries. It’s good enough for him to do this.”]
[Jiraiya sat down next to Nagato, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered, “What’s wrong with you? Tell me.”]
[“Teacher...”]
[“...Are you still thinking about what happened before?”]
[Nagato wiped his tears and answered with a tearful voice, “At that time, Yahiko was injured, and I was very angry. After that,My mind went blank, and then I knew nothing... When I came to my senses, the other person had already fallen... After that, I was very scared, because I was lost in hatred and killed the other person... I did something wrong! In fact, there should be a better way..."]
["Nagato, I don't know if this is right or wrong, but because of you, Yahiko was saved, you protected your friends, so what you did should be right, and no one will blame you." Jiraiya gently stroked Nagato's back and comforted him.]
["Tsk tsk, you actually feel guilty for killing someone by mistake. Who would have thought that this kid would come up with a plan to massacre the ninja world later."]
["You can't bear to kill one person yourself, but you don't care about using forbidden weapons to kill hundreds of millions of people, right?"]
["So you don't understand, this is a change in thinking after growing into a god, you mortals just need to accept it obediently. (laugh)"]
["At this time, Nagato should have learned nothing, because the Samsara Eye awakened, he directly killed a Chunin in seconds? ”]
[“Who knows what moves he used? After all, he is Pein's real body, so it's not surprising that anything happened.”]
[“Jiraiya is really amazing. He completely disregarded Konoha's position for the sake of peace in the ninja world! "Whatever you do to protect your friends is the right thing to do." What if Konoha and his friends are in opposition one day? ”]
[“I originally thought that Jiraiya's character was half ideal and half realistic, but now it seems that the ideal side accounts for a larger proportion. I feel that if there is a chance to really make peace in the ninja world, he will pay any sacrifice. ”]
[“Tsk tsk tsk, although I don't quite agree, if someone can really do this, I will still admire him. ”]
