Reviving the Uchiha Clan: Starting with a Legacy of Many Descendants

"What did you say?"

Jiraiya roared angrily,

"Creating such a technique won't stop wars! It'll only make wars more frequent and even more devastating!"

The Deva Path sneered, "Sensei, you're only seeing the trees and not the forest… Now think carefully: if you want to stop the conflict between nations as quickly as possible, what would be the best method?"

Jiraiya shouted, "Answer my question first! What are you thinking, creating something like that?"

The Deva Path replied coldly, "Hmph… The forbidden jutsu will only need to be placed in aggressive nations…"

"With the use of this weapon, millions of lives will be wiped out in an instant. Governments and their people will experience fear. That fear, born of pain, will act as a deterrent, forcing aggressive and war-mongering nations to behave. Conflict will gradually diminish..."

"This world, on the surface, seems to be moving toward peaceful growth, but it's an illusion. Pain will make this world grow, think, and take new steps forward, just like I did in the past."

"This requires the guidance of a god, for the world is still just a child."

Jiraiya was bewildered. "What nonsense! Letting the world endure pain to help it grow? That's what you call a god's duty?"

The Deva Path replied firmly, "That's right. Because I am a god of pacifism."

"Hahahaha..." Jiraiya laughed bitterly, almost speechless. "I never thought you'd become someone who loves to joke around, Nagato."

"This isn't a joke," the Deva Path said seriously. "This is my ideal. Sensei, in my eyes, you're nothing more than a small, immature child who has yet to grow up."

"Hahahahaha…" Jiraiya laughed even louder, shaking his head. "To think a brat like you would call me a child. Have I really lived all these years for nothing?"

"Hey! What are you laughing at, Jiraiya!" Gamabunta shouted from behind, locked in a fierce battle.

"You left me alone to fight all these summoning beasts! What's wrong with you? Hurry up and summon Gamaken and Gamahiro to help me!"

"Sorry, Bunta, I was just about to do that!"

Jiraiya bit his fingers and slammed his hands onto the ground. Two large summoning seals appeared, and Gamaken and Gamahiro emerged.

"Huff… Huff…"

Jiraiya panted heavily.

"This is the first time I've summoned all three of you at once. My chakra's running low. You handle those beasts for me—I need to summon the two Great Toad Sages."

"What? Summon… them?" Gamaken stammered.

Jiraiya nodded. "Yes! The enemy this time has the Rinnegan. Without the Great Toad Sages, I won't stand a chance!"

"!" Gamaken finally noticed the eye patterns on the six figures before him. He exclaimed in shock,

"Apologies for my ignorance! I didn't think the Rinnegan truly existed in this world."

Without another word, Gamaken and Gamahiro leapt into the battlefield, joining Gamabunta to fight alongside him.

"Haiichi! Tsuchidai! All of you, come here!"

Hearing Jiraiya's command, all members of the Eleventh Squad disengaged from their battles with the summoning beasts and quickly regrouped at Jiraiya's side.

"We'll fight them together!" Jiraiya clasped his hands together. "Give me some time—I need to prepare to activate Sage Mode!"

The mention of "Sage" left everyone momentarily stunned.

Monya grinned excitedly. "The world calls Jiraiya-sama a Sage, but today, I'll finally get to witness his power firsthand!"

Tsuchidai added, "This doesn't happen often. We need to buy Jiraiya as much time as possible!"

Tsume Inuzuka smirked. "Hmph! Leave it to me! No matter what kind of eyes they have, nothing can stand against the combined taijutsu of me and Kuromaru!"
