Chapter 183 Nagato Returns
Three more days passed, and in the Land of Fire, Konoha Village, a ninja with white hair hurriedly arrived here.

"Master Jiraiya, you...what's wrong with you?"

The Konoha ninja stationed at the door looked at Jiraiya who walked in and asked in surprise. Jiraiya's white hair had lost its luster, his eyes were dark, his skin was pale, and he looked as if he was ten years older.

Not only that, his clothes were torn in many places, and there were some bloodstains that had long since dried. Through the torn clothes, one could see some hastily bandaged wounds.

Why do you look at Jiraiya now? He always looks so miserable, as if he was beaten up?

Considering the identity of this Konoha Sannin, the guards stationed at the gate of Konoha couldn't help but start to wonder, who on earth could have hurt a big man like Jiraiya? Could it be that something big is going to happen in the ninja world again?
"Is this Izumo? Please contact Tsunade for me. I have important intelligence to report... Never mind. I'll go over there myself."

Jiraiya was teleported out of Myoboku Mountain by the Sage Fukasaku through the reverse summoning technique, but he did not return to the Ninja World directly, but appeared at the border of the Land of Wind.

After that, Jiraiya tried to use the summoning technique to summon the toads of Mount Myoboku. As a result, except for a few small frogs and tadpoles summoned at the beginning, the remaining toads of Mount Myoboku could not be summoned.

At that time, Jiraiya was very clear that Uchiha Feiyu had killed all the toads in Mount Myoboku. In this situation, Jiraiya could only suppress his grief and take the few remaining toad tadpoles in Mount Myoboku to an oasis on the border of the Wind Country to settle them down, and then hurried to Konoha.

Along the way, Jiraiya didn't even have time to fully treat his injuries. He just bandaged them roughly and put all his attention on hurrying on his way.

The strength displayed by Uchiha Hiha was so terrifying that Jiraiya had to let the Konoha Village prepare early. And because he didn't know about the Six Paths Sage's cheating for Nagato, in Jiraiya's eyes, Nagato was killed by Uchiha Hiha. I'm afraid that no one in the entire ninja world can withstand Uchiha Hiha's power.

Jiraiya would of course report this important information to Tsunade, and then see how to solve it. If necessary, he would use ninjutsu such as the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, the Shikigami Fuujin, the Four Elements Technique, and the Impure World Reincarnation.

The ninja guarding the gate of Konoha did not stop Jiraiya, but just reported directly to the inside. At this moment, Uchiha Feiyu, who had been waiting in the Hokage's office, immediately smiled:
"As expected... Jiraiya came to Konoha as soon as possible!"

When the entire Myoboku Mountain was destroyed, Uchiha Touha actually did not notice whether Jiraiya was dead or not. It was later when he was counting the souls he had captured using the Soul Conquest that he discovered that Jiraiya's soul was missing.

After that, he checked the soul memories of those toads and obtained information from them, knowing that Jiraiya had escaped from Myoboku Mountain.

However, the reverse summoning technique that was hastily performed at that time could not directly summon Jiraiya back to Konoha, and it would most likely take some time.

After Uchiha Feiyu returned to the Ninja World, he first spent half a day killing all the tailed beasts. Then, he spent the next three days dealing with Konan and turning her into Dinglu who would obey his orders.

As for what happened afterwards, Uchiha Feiyu planned to let Konan go undercover in Nagato, using the excuse that Konan was reverse summoned and thus escaped.

Jiraiya also had some understanding of the battle situation at the time, so he might be able to detect some flaws. Although Nagato certainly trusted Konan very much, with the power of the more advanced Rinnegan, as long as he had the slightest suspicion, he could use hypnosis to ask questions and discover Konan's identity.

"Tsunade, I'll leave Jiraiya to you when the time comes."

Uchiha Feiyu turned his head to look at Tsunade and said something. After hearing this, Tsunade nodded with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Although she didn't want to attack her old friend, she had no ability to refuse Uchiha Feiyu's request.

After a while, Jiraiya hurried to the Hokage's office, and looking at Tsunade who was calm and composed, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems that Uchiha Feiyu hasn't taken any action yet? I came back in time."

"What exactly happened, Jiraiya? And what about Uchiha Feiyu you mentioned? What on earth is he going to do? Didn't you go to the Wind Country to get information about him?"

As soon as Jiraiya relaxed, he felt pain all over his body. He sat on a bench in the Hokage's office and sighed:
"Yes, I went to the Kingdom of Wind to get some information. I still don't know what this guy wants to do, but I know that Uchiha Feiyu does have a conspiracy, and his strength is far beyond my imagination."

"Looking at your state, that guy must have beaten you up!"

"They didn't beat me up... To be precise, I was just hurt by the aftermath of the battle..."

Jiraiya's face showed a mixture of bitterness, fear, anger, and even despair. After a moment, he lowered his head:
"Myoboku Mountain has been completely destroyed by that Uchiha Touha!"

"All the toads in the entire Myoboku Mountain have been wiped out. Only a few palm-sized toads and tadpoles were left. I summoned them and they escaped!"

Although she already knew this situation, Tsunade still pretended to be surprised and looked at Jiraiya:
"Jiraiya, what happened? Is that Uchiha Toba so strong?"

"It will be stronger than you think. It took Uchiha Feiyu less than one or two minutes to destroy the entire Myoboku Mountain... I'm afraid that if he wants to destroy the Konoha Village, it will take him only this much time at most!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya coughed twice again, and blood began to seep out of the dark brown bandages on his wounds.

"Don't say so much for now, Jiraiya, let me treat you first!"

Tsunade's hand glowed green as she approached Jiraiya, who took a breath and spoke:
"Thank you so much, Tsunade...eh?!"

As the green light from Tsunade's hand touched Jiraiya, Jiraiya suddenly felt that the chakra in his body stopped flowing, and then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

At this time, Uchiha Feiyu, who was standing behind Tsunade, took off the mask on his face and said with a chuckle:

"I didn't expect to take him down so easily. It seems that Zilai still trusts you."

As he spoke, Uchiha Feiyu directly used Kamui and sucked Jiraiya in. Then, he spit out a female ninja with blue-purple hair and a cold face from the Kamui space. It was his former captive Xiaonan.

"Master Feiyu, have you caught the teacher?"

"Yes, the one who was just sent into the Kamui Space was Jiraiya."

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Xiaonan and answered directly: "Now that Jiraiya's hidden danger has been eliminated, you can go find Nagato then."

As he spoke, Uchiha Feiyu took out a few black earrings. These were the signal marks created by Nagato using the Yin-Yang escape technique. They had been worn on Konan's ears. In theory, as long as Konan inputted chakra, Nagato would receive the signal.

Fortunately, at the beginning Konan thought that Nagato was dead, and later he was taken into the Kamui space by Uchiha Feiyu. In that strange space, Nagato could not receive Konan's signal.

Later, Uchiha Feiyu entered the Kamui space and turned Konan into a cauldron, while also taking back her earrings. Through these two earrings, Uchiha Feiyu could also feel how far Nagato was from here.

"According to my intuition, Nagato will be able to enter the Ninja World in about two days. Before that, you can use this earring to contact him."

Xiaonan silently reached out her hand and took the earring, then raised her head and looked at Uchiha Feiyu:
"Then how can I contact you, Master Feiyu, in the future?"

"Well... in that case, I'll leave you a mark!"

Uchiha Feiyu stretched out his hand, entered the collar, and left a Flying Thunder God Mark on the valley between the two peaks of Xiaonan.

The blood-red three-magatama mark flashed twice on the fair skin, and then gradually disappeared. Uchiha Feiyu smiled and nodded:
"I also used the power of Yin-Yang Escape in this Flying Thunder God Seal. In this way, as long as you input chakra, you can contact me. You can also use this positioning to let me appear next to you, or directly summon you back."

Xiaonan stretched out her hand and gently touched the mark on the skin, then slowly moved closer to Uchiha Feiyu, her clothes half undone, revealing a fair complexion:
"Master Feiyu, didn't you say that there are still two days before Nagato enters the ninja world?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to meet you for a long time in the future, so don't waste these two days..."

Uchiha Feiyu naturally accepted such good things, and did not care that this was the Hokage's office. He directly pulled Konan and Tsunade together and started practicing the Hehuan Book.

Two days later, a dusty figure flew in the sky of the Kingdom of Wind.

"Finally I'm back to the ninja world... According to Master Jiraiya, the Kingdom of Wind is the headquarters of Uchiha Touha. I wonder if he's staying here too?"

Nagato was flying in the sky, with no joy or sadness in his eyes, and his whole face was cold and hard, like a stone statue.

Having lost all his companions and his teacher, and witnessed the destruction of Mount Myoboku, the only thought in Nagato's mind now is to seek revenge on Uchiha Toba.

The perception of the Sage Mode spread out, extending dozens of kilometers in an instant. Nagato sensed all the way as he flew, but unfortunately he only sensed some ordinary ninja chakra and did not find Uchiha Feiyu.

Nagato gritted his teeth. The Kingdom of Wind is vast, and although his perception range is wide, it can only cover a small part of the country.

It would take at least one or two months to thoroughly scan the entire Kingdom of Wind using perception capabilities.

Not to mention that this kind of perception may have large omissions, it is impossible for the other party to stand in one place and not move. What's more, if the other party is not in the Wind Country, he can't scan the entire ninja world!

"How about... going to the Sand Village? That should be Uchiha Toba's base!"

After searching for a while, Nagato changed his mind to no avail and began to wonder if he could force the Sand Ninja to hand over Uchiha Toba.

Although Uchiha Feiyu's personality probably wouldn't care about the Sand Ninja, but now Nagato has no other choice, right? He can only try this trick first.

However, at this moment, Nagato suddenly felt a strange signal that was constantly contacting him. His face changed and he showed surprise. He quickly transferred his thoughts in the direction of the signal.

"Konan!! Are you okay? That's great!"

As the waves of longing spread, Nagato soon saw Konan who was constantly sending him signals, and immediately shouted out in surprise.

Then he turned around and no longer thought about the Sand Village or Uchiha Feiyu. He directly located Konan's signal and performed the summoning technique.

With a bang and a puff of white smoke, Konan appeared in front of Nagato. Nagato looked at his only companion with excitement and found that although Konan looked a little haggard and tired, her face was ruddy, her skin was healthy and plump, and she had not suffered any injuries.

"I'm fine, Nagato... I used the Divine Paperwork Technique to dodge that guy's Shinra Tensei, and was later fortunately sent out by the Toad Sage using the Reverse Summoning Technique."

"At that time, I was also sent directly to the Kingdom of Wind. During this time, I recovered from my injuries and gathered some information from the Sand Village."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaonan!"

Nagato looked at Konan and smiled with relief. Even the anger that had been burning in his heart since he left Myoboku Mountain had subsided a lot without him noticing.

Konan lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little guilty in her heart, but Uchiha Feiyu's control ability had already penetrated into her mind long ago. When she thought of Uchiha Feiyu's order, this trace of guilt was quickly forgotten by her.

"Nagato, there is an important situation that I need to tell you. In the few days before you came back, Uchiha Feiyu had already attacked all the tailed beasts!"

"Take action against the tailed beasts?!"

Nagato's expression changed slightly. After meeting the Six Paths Sage in the Pure Land, he now knew the ins and outs of the chakra evolution of the entire ninja world, and naturally he also knew what those tailed beasts represented.

Even after the Six Paths Sage taught him his skills, he once told him that if he still couldn't defeat Uchiha Feiyu, then he should continue to seek the power of the tailed beasts, which was the source of chakra that was closest to the original sacred tree.
