Chapter 268: Even Given Wings, You Couldn’t Fly (Idiom)
It was raining heavily all year round inside Amegakure.
There were a lot of water pipes in the village, which could ensure that the village would not be submerged at any time. These pipes were so many that ordinary Ame Ninja could hardly remember where each pipe led to.
However, to avoid the enemy sneaking into Amegakure through the water pipes, these pipes would eventually be classified as several main water pipes. Most of them have Ame Ninja stationed.
Except for one of the passages.
Because this passage was connected to the tall tower where Nagato lived and the lake near the base of Akatsuki, this was the secret route of Nagato and Tendo Pain.
It was not a coincidence that Jiraiya chose the route to leave Amegakure.
Tendo Pain led a group of Pain to follow closely in the passage. Shurado(Asura Path) Pain turned on the radar that could track chakra and closely chased after the position of Jiraiya!
Tendo Pain chased after Jiraiya while thinking about the current situation.
Jiraiya no longer had any thoughts of fighting head-on. He definitely just wanted to send back the information he got from Amegakure.
If Jiraiya escaped, it would be very troublesome. Maybe it would hinder Akatsuki’s plan to capture Kyuubi from Konoha.
Mainly, it might expose Uehara’s true identity.
Fortunately, Jiraiya was now seriously injured and probably had internal organs damaged. In Shurado(Asura Path) Pain’s investigation, Jiraiya’s speed was getting slower and slower.
Soon, they would be able to catch up.
Even if Jiraiya played some tricks in the middle of the journey and escaped from Amegakure, he would discover that he had fled to a large lake.
And that lake.
It was the place that Akatsuki’s other members liked to go to most.
At the same time.
Uehara was also using his Destiny to spy on the location of Tendo Pain and Jiraiya. He couldn’t help but frown, “Why do I feel that something is wrong? Looking at the situation, does Jiraiya want to escape from Amegakure to Akatsuki’s base? “
The situation was indeed a little strange.
In the underground pipeline.
Jiraiya’s speed was sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
The speed of Tendo Pain leading a group of Pain was very constant.
Only occasionally, when Shurado(Asura Path) was ready to launch missiles, Jiraiya seemed to have sensed it and would ignore his injuries and speed up to escape!
“This is really troublesome… Jiraiya-sensei!”
Tendo Pain frowned and said in a low voice, “However, you can’t escape from Pain’s pursuit without caring about your physical strength… Moreover, your luck is terrible. You chose the wrong direction to escape!”
Once Jiraiya thought that he had escaped from Amegakure, he would soon realize that he approached the enemy’s other camp.
Just as Uehara and Tendo Pain were speculating about Jiraiya, Jiraiya’s face was painted with oil paint. He closed his palm and counted the numbers in a low voice.
“Five…”
“Four…”
“Three…”
“Two…”
“One…”
“Kochiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)! Sage mode, activate!”
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jiraiya’s body. The oil paint on his face turned red, and two short toads suddenly appeared on his shoulders!
The next moment, Jiraiya took off his boots without hesitation. His legs and hands turned into frogs like flippers and continued to run in the distance!
At this moment, Jiraiya’s speed increased a lot!
“Hey, Little Jiraiya, what is going on?”
“There’s no time to explain!”
Jiraiya landed on all fours and fled quickly in the underground passage. He said in a low voice, “Fukasaku-sama, Shima-sama, sense the road ahead by yourself and the pursuers behind us on the other side. We need to escape from here first!”
Even in Sage mode, he could not turn back to fight.
Because Jiraiya was very clear that Uehara in Amegakure could steal other people’s technique and had once forcibly cracked his Sage mode.
Therefore, Sage’s mode was not used to fight but to make it easier to escape!
“Ah… Okay, Okay, Okay!”
Fukasaku and Shima nodded in a hurry.
After doing their assigned task, Fukasaku still had some strength left. He opened his mouths to use water ninjutsu to stop Pain from chasing them. This way, they could at least delay their pursuit.
Even if it were just Gakidō(Preta Path) Pain who jumped out to help absorb the ninjutsu, it would still make all six of them stop for a while.
The distance gap with Jiraiya gradually widens up!
Shima was responsible for observing the road and sensing the chakra around them. When she saw the light in front of them, she was excited and said, “Wait, we will soon arrive at the exit of this tunnel!”
Fukasaku looked at Jiraiya and said, “I really didn’t expect that one day someone would use Sage mode to run for their lives!”
The Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku had always been used for fighting.
Sage Chakra could provide an extremely high increase in the power of Ninjutsu. It had always been a trump card when facing a powerful enemy. He didn’t expect Jiraiya to use it to run for his life today.
“Ahahaha…”
A bright smile appeared on Jiraiya’s face as he said, “After all, I have obtained too much information from Amegakure this time. This information is more important than my dignity!”
“Amegakure?”
Fukasaku raised his head in surprise and said, “Eh? Amegakure? Isn’t this village where that kid called Uehara is?”
Shima also said with some surprise, “Isn’t that the kid who cracked our Sage mode last time?”
“That’s right!”
Jiraiya nodded. His expression was extremely ugly as he said, “Let’s leave this place first and talk about it. The relationship between that kid and us isn’t shallow either!”
Jiraiya’s speed in Sage Mode was indeed very fast.
Tendo Pain frowned and found that the distance between them and Jiraiya seemed to have become even further, “He activated Sage Mode just to escape from Amegakure? The Universal Pull attraction distance was not enough…”
After saying that, Tendo Pain continued, “After all, his goal is to steal information and not to kill us. However, in this way, it will be difficult to catch up to him…”
Unfortunately, he went the wrong way.
Tendo Pain slowly stretched out his palm and inserted chakra into his ring. He softly said, “All the members in the base quickly rush to the lake outside the organization base and search for a person!”
The chakra could reflect this sentence in the ring and Nagato’s Rinnegan to any member of Akatsuki who held a ring.
But, the contact channel of Akatsuki’s organization was silent.
Tendo Pain subconsciously frowned. What the hell? Why didn’t any of these members answer?
Tendo Pain’s tone suddenly became cold. He said in a low voice, “What are you doing? Did no one hear my orders?”
“No!”
Deidara’s voice sounded a little doubtful, even mixed with some surprise, “It seems that other than the three of us today, everyone has been here at Lake since morning!”
Tendo Pain, “…”
Was it such a coincidence?
Why were these people gathered at the Lake when they had nothing to do?
The people of Akatsuki’s organization were really not there to idle.
In the early hours of the morning, Mangetsu and the Suigetsu brothers quarreled again. The two of them agreed to fight each other again on the Lake. How could other people miss this good thing?
On the lake.
The two water giants were still tearing at each other.
Kisame waved his Samehada and cut off the Hozuki brothers who were fighting together. He smiled and said, “Alright, don’t fight anymore. The leader sent a mission to us to search the enemy in this area!”
Sasori looked in Amegakure’s direction with some surprise, “Someone who can fight with Pain should not be a simple person, right?”
“No matter who it is, he will die today.”
Sasuke raised his eyebrows, a red light flashing in his eyes. He said coldly, “If it’s a powerful guy, then let me test out my new technique!”
“The enemy will definitely satisfy us.”
Kabuto pushed his eyes, and his pupils flashed with two extraordinary splendor. The chakra within his body was as excited as if he had sensed the prey he wanted.
This feeling… was genuinely unprecedented!
In the underground tunnel.
Under Sage’s Mode, Jiraiya was still desperately running away.
From time to time, Fukasaku would make trouble for Six Paths of Pain, who was chasing behind them. However, its expression was slightly surprised, “Little Jiraiya, it seems that only one enemy is now chasing us? Should we get rid of him?”
“Huh?”
Jiraiya shook his head as he ran, “No, the most important thing now is to send the information back. This time, I got a lot of information, which is shocking enough. But I always have a bad feeling…”
Shima couldn’t help but laugh. She pointed to the light at the exit of the passage and said, “Alright, Little Jiraiya, don’t worry. We are going to escape soon…”
As Shima spoke, her voice suddenly became a bit sharp, “Little Jiraiya, stop! There might be danger ahead. I seem to sense a disgusting smell and several other extremely powerful chakras! “
“What?”
Jiraiya’s palm suddenly grabbed the rock wall at the passage entrance and quickly stopped. He condensed his chakra to sense the passage.
One illusory figure after another appeared in Jiraiya’s sight. These were the perception feedback from natural energy in Sage Mode.
“No wonder there is only one enemy behind chasing after us…”
Fukasaku also sensed the danger at the passage entrance and said in a low voice, “It turns out that the enemy has already set up an ambush at the exit of this passage.”
“We have to rush out!”
Jiraiya gritted his teeth, and his expression became a bit more serious. He said seriously, “If I die here. I will release Summon and send the two Sage back to Mount Myoboku before I die. Please help me bring the information back to Konoha!
Uehara was the future leader of Akatsuki’s organization, and now the leader of Akatsuki’s organization was just a puppet. The one who really controlled Akatsuki was Nagato, who had the Rinnegan!”
“Jiraiya!”
Fukasaku looked at Jiraiya in shock. It was shocking enough whether it was Jiraiya’s pessimistic attitude or the information Jiraiya had brought.
This was because Fukasaku Sage was familiar with the names Uehara and Nagato. They also knew what it meant for them to be the leaders of Akatsuki’s organization!
The entire ninja world would undergo a drastic change!
However, after a while, Fukasaku suddenly shook his head and said, “If it is really the last moment, then let Shima go back!”
After that, Fukasaku suddenly turned to look at Shima and said, “Hey, did you hear that? When the time comes, you must send the information back to Konoha!”
“… Shut up, old man!”
After Shima interrupted Fukasaku, she forced a smile and said, “We haven’t fought yet! How can we give up our lives so easily? Little Jiraiya…”
“Hahahaha… That’s right.”
Jiraiya laughed and nodded. A bright and happy smile appeared on his face again, “I am the famous White Haired Toad Sage of Mount Myuboku! How can I be worse than that little brat Naruto!”
After saying that, he stepped on the rock wall and jumped out, landing on the lake outside!
The next moment, Jiraiya slowly raised his head and sized up the enemies who were waiting for him outside. The smile on his face became even wider, “Hahahahaha… It looks like quite a few enemies are welcoming me!”
There really were quite a few of them.
On the surface of the lake stood a dozen or so Akatsuki members.
Tendo Pain quickly chased after him. Uehara and Konan also flew from Amegakure to this place.
This lineup.
It made people involuntarily feel despair that they would not be able to escape even if they had wings.
