Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 52, Part 2: Death on a Rainy Night

Jiraiya looked at the six monsters.

This is his disciple? He's turned into this, a demon who wants to destroy the world?

Why...?

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

"Why did it turn out like this...?"

"Nagato! Yahiko! Konan!"

"Tell me! What happened?!"

No one answered him, and the battle broke out immediately.

Jiraiya activated Sage Mode, with two great sages standing on his shoulders.

"Jiraiya, that's the Rinnegan!" Fukasaku exclaimed in surprise. "Those are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!"

"I know."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth.

"That's my apprentice, I'm going to beat him awake!"

"Sage Art: Goemon!"

A massive oil-fire projectile erupted, but it was easily absorbed by the Hungry Ghost Realm.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain raised his hand and used a repulsive force to blast Jiraiya away, sending him crashing into the wall of the tower.

The real world, the illusory training ground.

The cockpit door opened, and Jiraiya, who had been blasted away, finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat up.

He stared blankly ahead, his face covered in tears.

The feeling of heartbreak is more intense than any physical pain.

Yahiko is dead, and Nagato has gone mad.

Xiao Nan... probably became an accomplice as well.

Is this the fate of the prophesied child? Or is it the disciple he taught?

Why...?

Jiraiya covered his face, his voice choked with emotion.

"What did I do wrong...?"

"If only I hadn't left back then..."

Roy stood behind the counter, watching the distraught man, offering no words of comfort.

"Regret is useless."

Roy said calmly.

"Do you want to know how Yahiko died? What happened to Nagato?"

A new copy option appeared on the screen.

[Instance Title: Death on a Rainy Night - Part 2: Hanzo's Conspiracy and Danzo's Backstabbing.]

Danzo, it's Danzo again. Jiraiya's eyes turned fierce.

"Danzo? Is this related to Danzo too?"

"Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Roy smiled.

"After reading this, you'll understand that this world is truly rotten."

"And your disciples simply made the choices they believed were right."

Jiraiya wiped away his tears and lay back down.

"Let's begin."

"Let me see just how many more sins that old man has committed."

Jiraiya opened his eyes again; he was standing on the edge of a cliff.

Below us was a bottomless canyon.

This is the land of rain, a graveyard where countless dreams have been buried.

He looked down and saw three people standing at the bottom of the canyon.

It's Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan when they were young.

They were wearing Akatsuki uniforms.

At that time, Akatsuki members were just wearing ordinary ninja attire.

Their eyes were filled with hope, because they were about to negotiate with Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, and were working hard for peace. Finally, there was something to look forward to.

"Lord Hanzo has agreed!" Yahiko exclaimed excitedly. "If we cooperate, we can end this war!"

Although Nagato and Konan were a little worried, they also smiled.

Jiraiya stood on high ground, his heart breaking.

"Don't go..."

He shouted it out loud, but this was just a copy.

"This is a trap, a dead end!"

He was merely a ghost from the future, forced to watch helplessly as these three children walked step by step into the abyss.

Jiraiya shifted his gaze to the other side of the canyon, where a large number of Rain Ninja were lying in ambush.

Among these Rain Ninja stood several masked ninjas.

Jiraiya recognized them all too well; those people were from Konoha's Root organization. So they were indeed related to Danzo?

"Lord Hanzo."

A voice rang out.

Jiraiya turned around and saw a young figure standing behind Hanzo.

With half his face wrapped in bandages, this man was a young Danzo Shimura.

"As long as we eliminate these three Akatsuki leaders, the internal strife in the Land of Rain can be quelled."

Danzo's words seemed to possess a bewitching power.

"Those children are too dangerous; their promotion of peace will shake your rule."

"Just kill them."

"Konoha will fully support you. We will provide supplies and intelligence, and even help you consolidate your position in the Land of Rain."

Hanzo hesitated for a moment. After all, it was really not easy for Amegakure to find a few promising young people. He really didn't want to touch them unless absolutely necessary.

He once admired these three children, but the allure of power was too great.

"it is good."

Hanzo nodded.

"For the stability of the Rain Kingdom."

"kill."

This single word sealed Yahiko's fate and hastened Nagato's downfall.

Jiraiya's eyes widened in horror; so this was the truth.

What drove these three children who longed for peace to become demons was not only Hanzo's suspicion, but also Danzo's encouragement!

Danzo, who keeps claiming to be working for Konoha!

For the sake of Konoha's so-called interests, they not only tried to win over Hanzo, but also personally handed him a knife!

He ruined these three children's dreams with dirty political deals!

"Danzo!!!"

Jiraiya roared, but no one could hear him.

The following tragedy occurred.

Hanzo grabbed Konan and held a kunai to her throat.

"Kill Yahiko."

Hanzo threw a kunai to Nagato.

"Kill the leader, and I'll spare this woman. Otherwise, you'll all die."

Nagato held a kunai, but how could he bring himself to do it?

"Nagato! Kill me!" Yahiko shouted.

"For everyone's dreams! For Konan! Kill me!"

Nagato was still hesitating, but Yahiko did not hesitate; he directly rammed into the kunai in Nagato's hand.

Fresh blood gushed out.

"Yahiko!!!"

Nagato and Konan's cries shook the heavens.

Jiraiya knelt on the cliff, watching Yahiko fall, while Nagato went berserk.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was summoned, and its terrifying power swept away everything.

Hanzo escaped, and Danzo also quietly withdrew with the Root group, a sneer of triumph on his face.

At that moment, Jiraiya's heart died.

The ninjutsu he taught his children became tools for killing.

In this world full of scheming and betrayal, kindness is the original sin.

Only by making the world feel the power of pain can truth be found.

The screen shattered, and the scene changed instantly.

The tower in Amegakure Village many years later.

Jiraiya continued his previous duel, still standing at the top of the tower.

But he was no longer a bystander; he was an active participant, and he was about to die.

The scene freezes on the most tragic moment.

Five black chakra rods pierced through Jiraiya's body simultaneously, piercing his throat and rendering him unable to form hand seals or speak.

His left arm was broken and bleeding profusely, and to make matters worse, there were six Paynes standing in front of him.

Pain, the leader, looked at him coldly.

"teacher."

Payne spoke.

"This is the peace that Konoha, which you protected, brought us."

"Danzo's conspiracy, Hanzo's betrayal, and your absence."

"That is the God who made us who we are today."

"Now."

Payne raised his hand.

"It's Konoha's turn to feel the pain."

"Shinra Tensei!"

A tremendous repulsive force erupted.

Jiraiya's body was blasted away and fell backward.

Below lay a bottomless sea, and Jiraiya's consciousness began to blur.

In his final moments, he had only one thought in his mind.

remorse.

"I absolutely cannot die here..."

"We absolutely cannot let Nagato continue down this wrong path..."

"That prophecy...has not yet come true..."

"Naruto..."

Water splashed up, and the darkness of the deep sea swallowed everything.

The hero Jiraiya has officially left the game.

The real world, the illusory training ground.

The cockpit door popped open, and Jiraiya sat up, panting heavily.

My clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

This feeling is so real.

It was so real that he couldn't tell where reality ended and where the dream began.

He subconsciously touched his throat; thankfully, there was no hole.

I touched my left arm; it wasn't broken.

"Alive..."

"I'm alive."

He slowly climbed out of the cockpit, his legs a little weak, but he still straightened his back.

Jiraiya looked at the transparent prison cell in the center of the plaza outside the door.

There were two people locked up inside. One of them, who had lost an arm and was blind, was Danzo.

Jiraiya looked at him, his eyes filled with no anger, only endless indifference.

In the past, he might have rushed out and shattered the glass room with a single Rasengan, killing Danzo to avenge Yahiko.

But now, there's no need.

Danzo is already ruined, disgraced, and living a life worse than death, which is more painful for him than killing him.

Besides, killing this kind of trash will only dirty your hands.

The real threat isn't in this cell.

In Amegakure, on the masked man.

As long as the Akatsuki organization exists and the distorted concept of peace still finds a market, then the tragedy will repeat itself endlessly.

"Thanks."

Jiraiya spoke to Roy behind the counter.

"Thank you for letting me see this."

"If it weren't for you, I might have really been a fool and died on that rainy night, sinking into the sea with regret and remorse."

Roy put down his soda, stared at the hero who had finally awakened, and smiled.

"You're welcome."

"This is VIP service."

"But now that you can see the future clearly, what do you plan to do?"

"Continue to run away? Continue writing your 'Intimate Paradise'?"

"still……"

Roy pointed to the door.

"What can I do?"

Jiraiya walked to the window and looked at Naruto, who was undergoing special training outside.

The boy with golden-red hair was practicing ninjutsu tirelessly, proving himself to be even more stubborn than Nagato.

The son of Shuimen, also the son of prophecy.

"I'm not leaving."

Jiraiya spoke up.

"I want to stay in Konoha and personally teach Naruto."

"I was wrong before. I thought that as long as we found the Child of Prophecy and guided him, the world would be at peace."

"But I neglected the process, and I neglected the companionship."

"Nagato went astray because I left too early; I didn't teach him how to face pain."

Jiraiya blamed himself.

"This time, I won't make the same mistake again."

"I want to train Naruto to be a true savior, not a vengeful person like Nagato."

"And certainly not a victim like Minato."

Roy listened to these bold words without laughing.

He took a new bottle of soda from under the counter and threw it over.

"then."

Jiraiya caught the bottle, and the cool touch invigorated him.

"A wise choice."

Roy said calmly.

"Only by living can we change the outcome. Only the strong have the right to talk about peace."

"and……"

Roy thought of Naruto.

"Your future apprentice is a big problem."

"His ambitions now surpass even Nagato's."

"You think you can get him back on track? It won't be that easy."

Jiraiya unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip himself.

Cool.

"Trouble is good."

Jiraiya was quite carefree and easygoing, even flashing his signature big laugh.

"If it's not troublesome, how can it be called 'Tales of Heroes'?"

"Since the script is already ruined, let's tear it up and rewrite it."

"Starting today."

"The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant, Part 2"

"Officially launched!"
