Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

"That's impossible. My three disciples, including Nagato...are all dead. They died in the Hidden Rain Village nearly half a year ago!"

Jiraiya stood up excitedly. When he saw Minato's stunned expression, he was stunned at first, then he sighed and slowly sat down.

He whispered, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Minato regained his usual calmness and said rationally, "Teacher, I understand your feelings. But is it possible that Nagato actually escaped death?"

Jiraiya clenched his palms and lowered his eyes: "Maybe so, but I can't think of...the reason why Nagato would attack Konoha."

Minato deduced reasonably: "They are all war orphans during the Second Shinobi World War. At that time, Amegakure was the main battlefield of the three major countries. Is it possible... that they lost their homes because of this?"

Although he expressed it very tactfully, Jiraiya understood what he meant.

He clasped his fingers together, rubbing his thumbs nervously. "Nagato never mentioned the death of his parents, and I never asked. It was a topic that we, the master and the disciple, tacitly avoided... Perhaps it was because Konoha had lost its parents."

Jiraiya's mind flashed through scenes of him interacting with his three former disciples, especially with Nagato.

The moment they parted, he touched Nagato's head and the latter had a bright smile on his face. (Photo attached)

Jiraiya stopped his restless hand movements, raised his eyes to meet Minato's, and said firmly.

"Even if that's the case, I still believe that my disciple won't be such a narrow-minded person. There must be something else going on here!"

"I think that either there is another person who has opened the Rinnegan, or Nagato's Rinnegan has fallen into the hands of someone, and the other party used the power of that eye to take action against Konoha."

Always choose... to believe in the disciples you have high hopes for?

It is precisely because I am also a disciple of the teacher and have my own disciples who I have high hopes for that I can fully understand the teacher's feelings.

Minato nodded and said, "Indeed, if the attacker behind the scenes is not Nagato, then it can only be what the teacher said!"

Jiraiya said, "Minato, can you tell me all the information about the attacker's abilities that you have analyzed so far?"

"Of course, I knew that the teacher would definitely care, so I'm ready." Minato took out the 'scroll' he had prepared in advance.

Jiraiya took the scroll, put it in his arms, stood up and said with a smile: "Minato, I will take my leave first, you should go and accompany Kushina and get some rest."

"Eh?" Minato was a little taken aback and said, "Teacher, aren't you going to stay overnight before leaving? I wanted to have a candlelight chat with you and ask you some questions about private matters!"

"Oh?" Jiraiya's expression became intriguing: "Is it a woman's secret? Minato, as my number one disciple, you really know the way~!"

He leaned close to Minato and whispered, "Well, wait until Kushina falls asleep tonight, and you use the Flying Thunder God to go to the back mountain. I will take you to appreciate the scenery that even the Hokage cannot experience~!"

"Eh?" For a moment, Minato was a little excited, but suddenly, he felt a murderous aura coming from the other side of the door behind him!

He immediately said with shame: "Teacher, you don't want to take me to peep, do you? Please forgive me! I can't do anything to let Kushina down!"

When he finished speaking, he clearly felt that the murderous aura behind the door disappeared.

“Hahahahahaha, pouring eggs on them~ (Just kidding~).”

After Jiraiya laughed heartily, he patted Minato on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Master, I know that what you want to ask is about fairy arts, right?"

Minato scratched his fluffy blond hair and smiled, "Yes! The attack on the village made me realize that I am still immature as a Hokage, so I want to find an opportunity to perfect the senjutsu that I am not good at!"

Jiraiya smiled helplessly and said, "I really can't help you with this matter, because... I am even worse at immortal arts than you are. Although your immortal mode cannot last long, at least you can enter it alone."

Minato said shyly: "Teacher, you are too modest! At least your own chakra can channel the two great sages! And I can only channel Mr. Bunta!"

Let’s get back to the topic, Jiraiya said earnestly.

"Minato, I believe that with your understanding of the technique and your creativity in developing the Rasengan, you will definitely find your own Sage Mode!"

"Don't be bound by existing common sense, give full play to your inspiration! Well, inspiration sometimes depends on the pleasure and relaxation of the body and mind. In this regard, I can give you some help and guidance..."

As he said this, Jiraiya reached into his arms and handed Minato another book.

"'Intimate Paradise', is this also the teacher's work?"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Well, my new work has not been officially released yet. As my number one disciple, this is a special treatment for you!"

Minato was overjoyed: "Oh my god, after Sensei's "Strong Willpower Ninja Transformation", another masterpiece, what an honor!!!"

"I think the teacher's personal experience as a great ninja, and the ninjutsu that was precipitated from that experience, must have been sublimated in this work with his mature and experienced writing style! Teacher!! I will definitely read it with Kushina!!!"

"Hahahaha." Jiraiya laughed intriguingly, "It's perfect for a couple to read together, but, during this special period, you must not imitate the dangerous actions in it~!"

Minato said excitedly, "Oh!! Are you referring to the high-difficulty moves in the battles between ninjas, which are as fast as wind, thunder and lightning, and are so dazzling! I didn't expect that the fighting scenes in the new work have also been improved and strengthened! Then I must experience the true meaning of the words word by word... and try to apply them in the actual combat of protecting the village!"

After saying goodbye to Minato, Jiraiya came to the woods at the entrance of Konoha Village and slowly unfolded the information scroll that Minato gave him.

As he read the information about the capabilities of the invaders that night, his eyes grew increasingly serious, and his hand that was pulling open the scroll also became a little sluggish.

Intelligence, above.

Along with the signature of the intelligence text, a kunai engraved with "Sword of Ninja Love" came into Jiraiya's sight.

That is...Minato's 'Flying Thunder God Kunai'.

Jiraiya held the kunai in his hand.

At the end of the scroll, where Ben was pressed by the kunai, Minato's parting words were written.

Teacher, I understand very well that when I mentioned the Rinnegan and your former disciple Nagato, you would definitely find ways to find out the truth.

From where I stand, there is no way to stop you.

So, please bring my Flying Thunder God Kunai with you. If anything happens, I will drop everything and rush to your side in an instant!

"Minato, you are such a gentle and caring child."

Jiraiya smiled and took the kunai into his arms.

He turned around and galloped towards the western border of the Fire Nation!

"Are Nagato and the other three still alive? Was his Samsara Eye stolen by an enemy of Konoha who is suspected to be Orochimaru, and used to avenge Konoha? To figure out all this, the starting point must be the Hidden Rain Village where Nagato and the others died!"
