"I know! I know! Stop yelling!" Jiraiya clapped his hands, ready to launch a Ninjutsu.

Deva Path instinctively stretched his hand toward the fleeing Jiraiya and Naruto, suddenly activating Bansho Ten'in.

Both Jiraiya and Naruto felt themselves being pulled uncontrollably toward Deva Path's hand, their feet digging into the ground as they struggled to resist. Fortunately, Fukasaku and Shima, though unable to fight physically, could still use their voices.

"Fukasaku-sama! Shima-sama! Please, we're counting on you!"

"Leave it to us."

"Still doing this kind of thing at your age... it's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?"

"Ma, now is not the time to be willful!"

The two Toad Sages opened their mouths at the same time, and a chorus of frog croaking suddenly sounded. This was Jiraiya's greatest weakness, Genjutsu! But the Fukasaku and Shima’s Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant perfectly compensated for this shortcoming.

The strongest Genjutsu performed through the harmonic duet of the two Sages. Anyone who hears the demonic melody would instantly fall into a Genjutsu. The victim's mind would be bound, dragged into a different dimension.

As the demonic melody filled the air, Naruto quickly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared in an instant, returning to the downstairs of Ajisa’s house. Hearing explosions in the distance, Naruto glanced back before rushing toward the scene.

In the distance, Asura Path, Deva Path, Konan, and a group of Chunin from Amegakure who followed were all frozen. Konan opened her eyes wide in shock and realized that everyone was trapped.

They were sealed within a large, rectangular water barrier formed by four giant toads dressed as immovable guardians holding swords, unable to move a muscle.

Both Deva Path and Asura Path were killed by Jiraiya with Stone Swords. He also took care of the Chunin, leaving only Konan alive.

In fact, Jiraiya knew well that these so-called Pains were merely puppets, and only by destroying these puppets could he see the mastermind behind the scenes. Yahiko and Konan had already appeared, so it was now clear who was hiding behind the scenes.

When Naruto excitedly returned to the battlefield, Jiraiya, who was no longer in Sage Mode, was standing over Konan, holding Stone Sword with a fatherly look of melancholy on his face.

Fukasaku and Shima stood on the side without saying anything, not knowing what to say. The once-young Jiraiya had grown old, just like them.

Life isn't always as smooth as one would hope, especially after living for so long like Jiraiya. Troubles are inevitable, whether it's rebellious students or the challenges they face. In the end, people can only figure things out on their own.

From the distance, an excited cheer echoed through the battlefield.

"Pervy Sage! I knew you could do it!" Naruto’s loud voice rang out, full of gleeful excitement and a hint of schadenfreude, "You wiped them all out... oh, wait, there’s still one left."

Upon hearing this, Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. It was as if they were saying, ‘Well, it seems there's still one troublesome student left.’

"Jiraiya-chan, Ma and I are leaving first."

After saying that, with a bang, the two Toad Sages took the initiative to cancel the summoning, vanishing into a cloud of white smoke.

"You’ve got to be kidding me! You guys are just going to leave like that?!" Jiraiya snapped back to reality, sheathing the Stone Sword before turning around. Gritting his teeth, he yelled at Naruto, "You’re setting me up!"

"What are you talking about? Human potential is limitless." Naruto replied without a hint of guilt, "Pervy Sage, you should be proud of breaking through your limits in this fight."

"Break through my limits? I nearly died, of course I broke through!" Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood foam, feeling utterly exasperated. He couldn’t believe he had been tricked like this, especially at his age.

He had originally thought of bringing Deva Path over to Naruto, allowing him to train with the battle. If things got out of hand, Jiraiya could still intervene from the sidelines.

But who would’ve thought Naruto had the same idea? He hadn’t even considered standing by as backup, and instead, he found a way to run off right away.

Looking at Naruto, who had run away but returned just to enjoy the show, Jiraiya felt a surge of frustration.

Though Naruto had gotten there very quickly, and in case of trouble, he might have even been able to ambush from behind, the fact remained: Naruto was a schemer who rarely did anything straight. Always causing trouble.

The bad news? His disciple was a manipulative schemer, leaving Jiraiya to face the struggles while pushing him to improve. The good news? The kid had no shame and would probably live a long life, and his luck might even outlast Jiraiya's.

With this thought in mind, Jiraiya felt even more melancholic, and even wanted to have a cigarette. Every student he took in seemed more exceptional than the last. Suddenly, he found himself missing Minato.

Any outstanding Shinobi would pale in comparison to Minato. After all, Minato was the perfect Shinobi… unless, of course, the person in question was his son. But even then, how could Minato have such a ridiculously talented son?

Naruto, however, was undeterred by Jiraiya’s thoughts. He pointed to the slowly awakening Konan, and asked even though he knew the answer, "Not gonna kill her?"

"What do you think?" Jiraiya responded, too tired to deal with him.

In the heat of life-or-death combat, Jiraiya had indeed unlocked a new surge of potential. Despite his age, he had been forced to reignite his fighting spirit.

Konan woke up to find both Jiraiya and Naruto staring at her. Not far away lay the broken bodies of Deva Path and Asura Path, their bodies completely destroyed.

The Chunins who had come to support them had their arms shattered, with some bodies twisted and necks bent at unnatural angles.

"Jiraiya-sensei…" Konan’s voice trembled, as the beliefs she once held so firmly were beginning to crumble. All their ideals, about bringing pain to the Shinobi World, about reshaping it, seemed futile now.

How could a fifty-year-old Shinobi have shattered everything they stood for? The Six Paths of Pain were destroyed, and without her assistance, Nagato wouldn’t be able to find new bodies anytime soon.

Even if she managed to escape Jiraiya’s grasp, what meaning was there in rebuilding Pain?

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the rain suddenly stopped.

The sky began to clear after the downpour, a ray of light breaking through the clouds. Naruto stood with one foot on Yahiko’s puppet body, pulling out the black Chakra rods embedded within it with one hand, his face lit up like someone who had just looted some valuable gear.

These black rods, left behind by Madara, could conduct the user's Chakra and, when inserted into an enemy, could disrupt their Chakra flow.

Compared to Kakashi’s broken sword that can conduct Chakra, Naruto immediately realized the potential of these rods, feeling pleased, ‘Uchiha Madara sure left behind some good stuff.’

Meanwhile, atop a distant tower, Nagato’s emaciated frame shivered as he panted heavily. On his back, the iron rods extending from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path pierced his body.

With the help of these iron rods, Nagato, who was on the high tower, was able to use the power of the Rinnegan to control Six Paths of Pain at the same time, and share their vision

But now, everything had been destroyed by Jiraiya.
