And that black rod looks like one of Pain's attack methods; it's incredibly sharp and can disrupt chakra.
This ability is troublesome; if it gets hit, it will probably cripple you on the spot.
He had no time to grieve over Jiraiya's death; he silently organized all the intelligence he had gathered during the battle.
It might come in handy in the future. Even if he doesn't ultimately choose to assassinate Nagato, he can still pass the information to Konoha.
This time, Jiraiya won't need to risk his life to find out this information. Perhaps in the future, Sasuke will also need it.
In conclusion, this diary entry was undoubtedly extremely beneficial for Itachi Uchiha.
It solved many of his previous mysteries, such as the origin of the Akatsuki organization, why the Akatsuki organization developed into what it is today, and just how strong that mysterious leader was.
He could only vaguely sense that Pain was very strong, and the power of the Rinnegan in his eye socket was above that of his Mangekyou Sharingan, and even above that of Sasuke, who later displayed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Those who possess eye techniques and bloodline limits naturally have their own set of standards for judging the strength of their eye power.
A lot of additional information has now been added.
"Ah, Jiraiya."
Itachi Uchiha sighed.
The dangers of the future are already evident at this point.
"Lord Jiraiya."
Kakashi Hatake sighed, silently tightening his grip on the short sword in his hand.
He watched as Jiraiya ultimately chose to sacrifice himself for righteousness, willingly facing death to understand that Pain's final enemy had died at Pain's hands.
If it were him, would he do that?
Will do!
He would do that too!
Although in their youth, he and Jiraiya were completely different styles of ninjas.
However, without a doubt, they were all educated in the same Will of Fire of Konoha, so they would ultimately only have the same choice, with no other possibilities.
If that day really comes, he will have no choice!
He could only grip his long sword and strike, just like Jiraiya. He would take down one enemy at a time, leaving the rest to his comrades and students. He would do his best as a person of his generation.
"teacher!"
As he read in the diary, the teacher, in his final moments before losing his life, entrusted his last hope to Naruto, and his expression turned somewhat somber.
Although he already knew this would be the ending, and although his own death occurred before his teacher's, he was still very upset.
"Minato, what's wrong?"
At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki's voice came from outside the door.
Minato wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "It's alright, Kushina. I'll leave after I finish these documents."
"Okay, don't stay up too late."
Kushina didn't ask any more questions, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
"That idiot!"
Tsunade slammed her fist on the table, furious.
At the same time, tears streamed down her face. Even though Jiraiya in their world was not dead, she could not control her tears from flowing down her cheeks.
"Is that little bit of information really that important? Even if I don't know who Nagato is, is it that important?"
Tsunade growled in a low voice.
"You want me to stay and be Hokage while you go off to the Pure Land to enjoy yourself, huh?"
She was angry, but also terrified. Luckily, she had Kitahara Kaede's diary; otherwise, she might have followed the same old path and sent Jiraiya to the battlefield for just a little bit of information.
Fortunately, it's not too late!
"Pain, right! Nagato, right!"
Tsunade said through gritted teeth.
However, she didn't have any good solutions. Even now that she knew about the Akatsuki, there was nothing she could do. There were too many powerful members in the Akatsuki. Just from the information that could be obtained on the surface, there were nine members, including Orochimaru. If each of them was considered a Kage-level ninja, no single ninja village could face them alone.
Unless a ninja world war is launched.
Even if we organize a large-scale surprise attack, it's uncertain whether we can win. If the enemy simply changes their base, we'll be completely helpless.
With so many Kage-level experts gathered together, if they want to escape, who can stop them?
Therefore, there is very little they can do against the Akatsuki, an organization full of Kage-level experts; experts can only respond by being experts themselves.
Since she is destined to become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade must be prepared to deal with it. She and Jiraiya only have two Kage-level ninjas in total, so she can bring the old man along, even though the old man's strength is not what it used to be and he no longer has the imposing presence of the ninja hero he once was.
Back in his prime, the Third Generation was a powerhouse comparable to the demigod Hanzo.
Even though they've declined drastically, they still have at least the strength of a Kage-level goalkeeper.
As for his teammates, Danzo's strength did not decline significantly due to human modification, and he remained at the Kage level. Although he might only be at the level of a Kage gatekeeper, he was very difficult to deal with.
The other two have basically degenerated to the level of ordinary Jonin or elite Jonin.
It's useless in battles between top-tier experts.
Danzo is even more troublesome. He has the strength of a Kage, but he might be a hindrance. His strength will not increase our chances of winning, but will instead become a threat to Konoha.
Besides that, what surprised her the most was Kakashi Hatake, the son of her former friend. He now seemed to have the same demeanor as her friend. According to Kitahara Kaede's diary, Kakashi Hatake seemed to be in seclusion seeking a way to break through to the Kage level.
Although it's unclear why he started seeking a breakthrough in his strength ahead of schedule, it's all a good thing.
With Kakashi Hatake's talent, she believed that if he hadn't given up on himself, he would have reached the Kage level sooner or later, after all, he eventually became the Sixth Hokage.
If we calculate it this way, the Konoha Kage level will increase by one.
The last one is Kitahara Kaede.
Although Kitahara Kaede's diary revealed that he did not have a strong sense of belonging to Konoha, as if he could leave Konoha at any time.
However, it must be said that he is still in the good and lawful camp, and if he can be properly won over, he can stand on Konoha's side.
Even with such a simple calculation, Konoha could produce at least five Kage-level ninjas in the future.
Although it is still far inferior to the Akatsuki, it is still better than the desperate situation he would have faced in the original history.
No, this is not the end, because after three years of hard training, the three students of Class 7 have also broken through to the Kage level.
If we calculate it this way, with careful maneuvering, the players that Konoha can produce are absolutely capable of competing with the Akatsuki.
Forming a group of elite fighters belonging to Konoha, and even having them act in pairs like the Akatsuki, might be a future possibility.
Because she always remembered that Konoha had a hidden enemy, the Kara organization that Kitahara Kaede was very wary of.
According to Kitahara Kaede, it was a terrifying organization that even surpassed the Akatsuki.
It seems that the Shell organization is still operating covertly and has not yet begun its activities.
To be precise, the Akatsuki organization has not yet entered its active period.
After defeating the Akatsuki, we still have to fight the Kara organization.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"Did he finally die? The frog in the well scattered to the sea, that's not a bad ending either."
Jiraiya watched the scene depict his final fate as he fell into the sea.
Ultimately, he didn't have a great life or a great ending like those Naruto characters.
He couldn't bring his friend back to the right path until his death, nor could he confess his feelings to Tsunade. He couldn't protect his teacher when he died, and he couldn't protect his disciple when he died.
"What a failed life. For such a loser, this ending is not bad. At least he brought the intelligence back."
Jiraiya touched his nose, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Especially when he saw the video ending with Naruto Uzumaki leaping through the forest and suddenly feeling someone pat him on the back, which was clearly his own soul, he couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, the chosen one he had been searching for his whole life, through three generations, was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, who was the one he finally found.
But thinking about it, Nagato and the others actually had a chance. The Great Toad Sage believed it depended on how he guided them. If he had taken them away from Amegakure and to Konoha, then the subsequent events wouldn't have happened.
Nagato was originally a very gentle person, as was Konan. Although Yahiko was a bit carefree, he was essentially a sunny, cheerful, and optimistic child.
However, because I was in the midst of the war, I didn't want to take them with me and drag them into the war as well.
But it led to an abyss-like ending.
Every decision a person makes can lead to a completely different future.
He could have done better, but he didn't, which is why he feels like a failure and that his life is a failure.
"But was that really Nagato? So those Six Paths were the same people I had met before." Jiraiya stroked his chin, recalling the Six Paths of Pain he had seen in the video, which matched the ninjas he had encountered in his memory.
He simply didn't know why Nagato would turn the ninjas he encountered into the Six Paths of Pain.
It is obvious that these ninjas are already dead, only their corpses remain, and Nagato is controlling them.
The one in the lead was probably made from Yahiko's corpse.
"Sigh, seeing Yahiko die, both Nagato and Konan must have been very sad."
Jiraiya sighed.
Although he saw that Nagato and Konan both wanted to kill him, he wasn't angry. He had figured out what had led them down the wrong path, and he felt partly responsible.
The story of Jiraiya has come to an end. No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel a pang of sadness. Jiraiya is gone, and Naruto will never find someone to eat popsicles with again. Naruto has had several teachers, but Jiraiya is undoubtedly the most special one.
So no matter how many times I watch it, I always hope for an "what if" scenario, where the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, can save Jiraiya.
