Chapter 232 Payne: I am God!
Jiraiya deduced a great deal from just a few small clues and conversations.
When it comes to intelligence gathering, few people in the entire ninja world are more skilled than Jiraiya.
"But what's with this Rinnegan? Why are there so many bodies with the Rinnegan?"
Jiraiya couldn't help but think of it.
His previous speculation was that there was a family with the Rinnegan, given the precedents of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, so it was reasonable for there to be a family with the Rinnegan.
Otherwise, it's hard to say why so many Rinnegan would appear at the same time.
However, he has now overturned his previous judgment, and it seems that this is not some kind of Rinnegan family.
The Rinnegan still belongs to Nagato, but the reason why these bodies all have the Rinnegan is mostly due to some kind of technique that he doesn't know about.
Jiraiya had spent a lot of time with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, so he knew their personalities best and was able to deduce a lot from them.
Others knew very little about it, and some didn't even know that the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain actually originated from Jiraiya's side.
Jiraiya also took on disciples outside of Konoha.
At this moment, the person controlled by Jiraiya in the video sneaked in, and in just a moment, countless pieces of paper directly engulfed him: a package.
Xiao Nan's figure also appeared, and countless pieces of paper transformed into a long spear, ready to plunge down fiercely.
But then, Jiraiya sprang out from the shadows below, unleashing a fire-style attack.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
The fire-style technique forced Konan back, and only then did Jiraiya break free from the strange shadow form.
Konan wasn't surprised by this and said directly, "The Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique?"
She had clearly seen Jiraiya use it before.
"It was originally bait to lure Pain, but I didn't expect you to take the bait."
Jiraiya remarked with a sigh.
"Your casting techniques have become even more powerful, and you've also become quite a woman, Konan."
"I thought you were dead, but you've turned into a limp paper doll," Jiraiya asked. "Who exactly is Pain?"
"This has nothing to do with the teacher."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan slowly floated up into the sky, with countless pieces of paper forming a pair of wings behind her, making her look like an angel in the real world.
"Do you think this will turn you into an angel? What are the benefits of taking this form?"
Jiraiya said, puzzled.
"This is God's command; I am going to kill you."
After saying that, Konan's paper wings transformed into countless sharp swords that swept towards Jiraiya.
Faced with this situation, Jiraiya simply sprayed her with oil, making it impossible for them to separate.
"You, who love origami, are the gentlest among those children. What about the other two, Nagato and Yahiko? The rumors of their deaths are false, aren't they?" Jiraiya said directly, seeing Konan's distressed expression. "I knew it. Which one of them was Pain?"
"Now that things have come to this, why are you appearing before us?" Xiao Nan didn't answer directly, but instead asked in return.
"There wasn't any special plan. If you weren't members of Akatsuki, I heard you were all dead. I never expected it to turn out like this," Jiraiya said.
"Back then, you thought it would have been better to do as Orochimaru said, right? But you ended up helping us, and it's too late now."
""
Konan brought up the time when Orochimaru planned to kill them outright.
However, Jiraiya stopped him at the time.
"We have already begun to act according to his ideas."
"If only I had killed you, I would never have thought of such a thing. I just feel very sad. I taught you how to survive in this chaotic world. You are undoubtedly my disciples. Even in this difficult time, you attacked me without warning. It really breaks my heart."
Jiraiya was not led astray by Konan.
"Years after I left you, I would occasionally hear your names again. You became famous in a few conflicts, and then I heard that you were dead."
Hearing this, Xiao Nan's expression finally changed, and she said, "The teacher has no idea what happened to us after that."
""
"I don't know, but can that be a reason for you to become members of Akatsuki? Akatsuki's actions are wrong."
Jiraiya continued.
At that very moment, the animal realm finally arrived.
"That's the answer we arrived at ourselves, Jiraiya-sensei!"
Upon seeing the person appear above, Jiraiya's expression finally turned serious.
"Although his appearance has changed a lot, those eyes..." Jiraiya's expression was extremely solemn.
He remembered the owner of those eyes; it was none other than Nagato.
"So you really are Pain, Nagato? It seems you're not heading in the right direction. What exactly happened?"
Upon hearing this, the Beast Daoist coldly replied, "You don't need to know, after all, you're an outsider."
Facing his former teacher, Animal Path did not hesitate at all. In an instant, he summoned a summoning jutsu, used bubbles to wash away the grease on Konan's body, and at the same time commanded the summoned beast to attack Jiraiya.
However, Jiraiya was no ordinary person. He directly repelled his summoned beast and used the Lion's Mane Technique to capture the Animal Path.
"Nagato, tell me, how is Yahiko?"
Then, the Beast Realm uttered something that sent chills down everyone's spines.
"Ah, there was such a guy, but he's long dead, that kind of guy!"
The gentleness of childhood is gone, replaced by indifference and ruthlessness.
Having experienced war, he was no longer the same person; having felt the impact of war, everything had changed.
Both their thoughts and their words are completely different now.
"That's right. From mortal to god, once you become a god, everything you say and think is considered from a divine perspective. But teacher, you are just a mortal, so it's normal that you don't understand my way of speaking!"
The thoughts revealed by Pain, controlled by Nagato, stunned everyone who read the diary.
Clearly, they never expected that Nagato would regard them as a god.
"Things that mortals cannot understand, I can understand after becoming a god. So, precisely because I am a god, I can realize that I can do things that humans cannot. Simply put, humanity has evolved!"
"It is God's responsibility to put an end to this world filled with war."
Payne's every word shocked everyone.
"If that's the case, then why are you collecting the Tailed Beasts?"
Jiraiya tried to extract as much information as possible.
"Since you're going to die soon anyway, I'll tell you my real purpose: to use the sealed tailed beasts to create a new forbidden technique. Once that technique is used, even a great nation can be destroyed in an instant. It's the most powerful forbidden weapon."
Nagato gave an answer that no one had expected.
He actually wanted to collect all the tailed beasts and then use the terrifying military power that could destroy an entire nation in an instant to achieve peace.
However, Jiraiya did not believe his explanation.
"All nations are at war. How can we end these battles as soon as possible? Jiraiya-sensei, just provide forbidden techniques to the nations that are at war with each other. The nations that possess weapons will definitely use that power. Hundreds of millions of people will die in an instant. Then people will be terrified. People and nations will understand the pain. That fear will curb the war, and the war will disappear. The world is moving towards stability. Pain will make the world grow, just like I did in the past. To make the world grow, think, and move forward, we need the help of God, because the world is still just a child."
"It is the way of the beast," the animal said slowly.
He also revealed his own thoughts, because he believes the world is still a child, so we should teach it about pain and help it grow.
"What an arrogant idea! Does he really think he's a god?"
Uchiha Sasuke was a little dumbfounded. Even at his most arrogant, even when Kitahara Kaede called him the savior, he was never so arrogant as to want to be the god of this world.
Of course, he didn't know that what he did later would be no different from what Payne did.
However, at this moment, he absolutely did not think in that direction, nor did he dare to.
Do they really think they're gods?
After he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, he suffered a lot of losses and was even teased by Kitahara Kaede as "Sunny Helper".
However, through Kitahara Kaede's diary, he also learned how vast and immeasurable this world truly is, and at least he no longer suddenly had those inexplicable arrogant thoughts.
This is the biggest difference between the current Uchiha Sasuke and the future Uchiha Sasuke.
"Nagato has really gone astray. Yahiko's death must have had a huge impact on him." He sighed as he looked at his disciple, who had completely fallen into obsession, in the diary.
The three little ones were so well-behaved back then. Nagato even wanted to use the Rinnegan to protect the other two, but now they've turned out like this.
Konan has become neither human nor ghost, and Yahiko has even become a useless piece of trash in Nagato's eyes. How could Jiraiya accept that he once thought Yahiko was the chosen one who could change the world, as the Great Toad Sage had predicted, had now turned out like this?
In Kitahara Kaede's words, he has completely transformed into a villainous BOSS.
But now that he wants to intervene, it's too late; the die is cast.
If I were to go to Amegakure to find Nagato now, the final outcome would probably be just like in this video—I would die at Nagato's hands.
"Do you really think you can keep the ninja world at peace forever with such a deterrent? That's incredibly naive." Tsunade scoffed at Nagato's idea.
Because some people had already put this naive idea into practice decades ago.
