"Jiraiya-sensei, the power of a god is beyond your ability to resist." Nagato declared through the mouth of Deva Path, his words dripping with his usual dramatic flair.

As the wielder of the Rinnegan, Nagato could clearly sense the formidable nature of his former teacher. The killing intent Jiraiya exuded was even more intense than the Natural Energy surrounding him, showing that Jiraiya was fighting with the intent to kill.

No one could afford to underestimate one of the legendary Sannin, not even in his old age.

Nagato was confident in his Rinnegan, controlling the Deva Path and Preta Path, while Animal Path had already been destroyed in the earlier skirmish.

In the dimly lit, complex network of sewers, a thick stream of fire pierced through the darkness, forcing the moisture in the air to evaporate instantly.

The blazing Fire Release technique streaked toward the Deva Path Pain, but the Path intervened, confidently raising a hand to absorb the incoming attack.

With a deafening roar, the torrent of flames engulfed Preta Path. He calmly began absorbing the Fire Release Ninjutsu, with a smug expression on his face.

But soon, Preta Path realized something was wrong. This wasn’t a regular Fire Release Ninjutsu, and an overwhelming surge of Natural Energy was flooding into his body.

The unstable Natural Energy instantly made Preta Path’s cheeks puff up, and in the next second, his clothes burst at the seams.

His eyes transformed into large toad-like eyes, his feet swelling into toad’s claws, with toad skin covering his entire body. But the Natural Energy continued to flow into Preta Path’s body, and as his body absorbed too much Natural Energy, and Preta Path eventually turned into a stone toad.

Another one of Pains was defeated.

At this moment, the only Pains that Nagato can control are Deva Path and the heavily armed Asura Path. At this time, Asura Path is pursuing Naruto in the rain alongside Konan.

Nagato still believed the situation was under his control. He was indeed surprised that the yellow-haired brat could destroy two of his Pains.

However, he didn’t think it was due solely to Naruto’s strength. He assumed Naruto had relied heavily on the intel provided by Jiraiya to launch sneak attacks.

‘He was indeed extremely cunning.’ Once Asura Path took care of Naruto, Nagato was confident he could turn back and deal with Jiraiya.

His confidence stemmed from his Rinnegan and the vast reserves of Chakra within his body. Even though his physical condition was deteriorating like a candle in the wind, given some time, he could still recreate the Six Paths of Pain.

Back in the sewer system, Jiraiya detonated dozens of Super Explosive Tags he had swiped from Naruto in an effort to keep Deva Path from making any moves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire Amegakure felt the tremors from the explosion. Golden flames erupted, instantly destroying a quarter of the sewer system beneath the village.

The explosion resembled a lava beast rising from underground, breaking through the rain. The residents and Amegakure’s Shinobi were startled by the tremors, and quickly rushed to their windows, staring at the distant horizon.

A small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, the golden beams of light mixed with fire evoking a deep sense of dread.

"What is that?!"

The nearby Amegakure’s Shinobi all rushed in that direction, while some curious villagers even dared to stand on rooftops, gazing out at the scene through the rain.

“It’s Kami-sama!” (T/N: Kami means God.)

"Tenshi-sama!! Tenshi-sama and Kami-sama heading that way!"

"What’s that thing running ahead of Tenshi-sama? Is it an intruder or something else? Oh my god, how can it be that fast?!"

"Intruders! There are two of them! Forget about that blonde brat! He’s too fast to catch! There’s also an old man with white hair over there!"

The dark sky above resembled an overturned bowl, with rain blurring the vision in all directions.

A foot slammed into a muddy puddle, sending droplets flying as it splashed onto the runner's back. The owner of the foot was completely unaware and ran on the empty street.

The young man’s speed was so fast that he almost left a faint white trail behind as he moved through the rain, his agile figure resembling a silver dragon. The air seemed to crackle and rumble as it was displaced by his speed.

Compared to him, the falling rain seemed to slow down, almost as if it were in slow motion. Even if there was Amegakure’s Shinobi standing in front of him, trying to stop him, Naruto showed no intention of slowing down.

Behind him, Konan flew low in pursuit, while Asura Path relentlessly launched homing missiles at him. How could Naruto afford to stop?

The Amegakure’s Shinobi had clearly underestimated Naruto’s speed. Before one of them could even throw a kunai, Naruto was upon him, pressing a single hand to his chest. With what seemed like a light touch, the man’s chest caved in with a resounding crash.

That light touch was followed by the sickening sound of bones cracking, leaving a series of horrified groans in its wake. Several Amegakure’s Shinobi were sent flying, gravely injured.

The remaining Amegakure’s Shinobi who had intended to block Naruto's path were left wide-eyed and slack-jawed, their battle cries and momentum instantly evaporating. Watching their comrades being flung away like ragdolls, they froze in terror.

Those people are Amegakure’s Chunin, and Naruto had just taken them down with a light touch, so of course it was terrifying, even beyond belief. They wondered what kind of monster was he?

‘It wasn’t just his speed that was fearsome, his combat power was equally terrifying. If a simple touch could be fatal, what would happen if he landed a full punch? Won’t our bodies explode from the impact?’

The hearts of Amegakure’s Shinobi sank instantly, their hot blood ran cold, and even the kunai they had reached for in their pouches suddenly felt ice-cold and unbearable.

Naruto continued sprinting through the rain, relentlessly pursued by Asura Path and Konan, who are both long-range attackers. Their constant bombardment with explosive attacks made it impossible to shake them off.

Naruto didn't want to engage head-on, so he decisively turned around and bolted, intending to create some commotion to lure Jiraiya over, so that he spit some essential oil sap on Konan.

On the other side, Jiraiya was also sprinting through the rain. Deva Path was too difficult to deal with, so Jiraiya planned to lure Naruto, the sneaky little brat, into the fight.

The commotion caused by the sewer explosion just now was loud enough, as those dozens of enhanced Explosive Tags almost took him out, even in Sage Mode.

Although he deeply suspected that Naruto had given him those Explosive Tags on purpose and even pretended to remind him that the Explosive Tags was quite powerful, Jiraiya couldn’t shake the feeling that Naruto had set him up.

‘So young, yet already so devious.’

With a loud bang, Deva Path had already rushed out of the rubble. He began pursuing Jiraiya like he had eyes from thousands of meters away, tracking him unerringly.

"Damn it!" Jiraiya glanced back and his face suddenly turned grim. He gritted his teeth and sped up.

With the boost from Sage Mode, his speed almost reached terrifying levels. The majestic Natural Energy in Jiraiya's body burned crazily, and was replenished like a tide with the blessing of the two Toad Sages on his shoulders.

Jiraiya dashed through the rain, his clothes flapping as they cut through the air, and a faint white line formed in his wake. The force of his movements generated a gust of wind, radiating immense power as he sped through the downpour.

At a smooth corner, the two white trails running through the rain finally intersected. Both Jiraiya and Naruto were momentarily confused as they brushed past each other, but they quickly realized their shared goal.

Jiraiya saw the homing missiles heading toward him, while Naruto turned the corner to find the oppressing Deva Path preparing to unleash Bansho Ten'in, and they both cursed at the same time:

"You shameless old thief!"

"You shameless brat!”

In perfect sync, Naruto and Jiraiya turned and started running in the same direction. The two rain-soaked lines that had once crossed became parallel as they sprinted side by side, the rain whipping against their faces.

"Pervy Sage! You're trying to get me killed!"

"You traitorous disciple! Always looking to screw over your master!"

"Stop shouting and think of something! Aren't you supposed to be a Sage? Take care of them already!" Naruto gritted his teeth and sped up, "Quit holding back, use your best technique now!"

The two Toad Sages on Jiraiya's shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima, exchanged weary glances, ‘Clearly, like master, like student… Neither of these two were any good.’
