The Jade Emperor In Naruto - Chapter 48

“I have time” Naruto said as he sat down next to Jiraiya

“Well since you insist I guess I’ll tell you, it was not to long ago” Jiraiya said as he started to explain what had happened to him

————————————

(Flashback one month ago)

“What do you mean the prophecy is no more?” Jiraiya asked the great toad sage, Gamamaru. Gamamaru was brown in colour, with a white belly, he is very wrinkled and is squinting. He wears a professor’s hat with tassels and an orb on top of it. He also wears a necklace with the toad’s village symbol 油 on it.

“The child of prophecy isn’t the one that will bring a change to the world, it is the powerful emperor. But even so, they will come, beings beyond even the clan of origin” Gamamaru answered

“What does that mean? Who is the emperor? And who is coming” Jiraiya asked, but the answered never came as Gamamaru was sound asleep

“There is no point trying to get him to wake up” Fukasaku said as he sat on Jiraiya’s shoulder

“Don’t you have a mission to do?” Shima replied

“Your right, I’ll worry about this later. First I have I have to get information on the leader of the Akatsuki” Jiraiya said as he stood up and shima did a reverse summoning jutsu and Jiraiya appeared in a forest on his way to the hidden rain village

——————————

(Flashback interrupted)

“Wait, you went after the Akatsuki leader? By yourself? That’s not very intelligent” Naruto said as he was eating his ramen

“I overestimated my stealth skills, I thought I could lurk around without him noticing, but he found out the moment I stepped foot in the rain village” Jiraiya said with a sigh

“You didn’t have to do all that, Nox is about to destroy the Akatsuki pretty soon” Naruto said

“Are you that confident in your abilities?” Jiraiya asked

“Who’s the strongest person you can think of?” Naruto asked

“Hmmm, The strongest? It would have to be the first hokage, Hashirama Senju” Jiraiya answered

“Is that so? Well I’m slightly above him, and Hisui is much stronger than me. So that should give you an estimate of how strong we are” Naruto said

“That’s a bold claim, can you back that up?” Jiraiya asked

“You’ll just have to wait and see” Naruto said with a cheeky smile reminding Jiraiya of Kushina

“I’m truly sorry Naruto, I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you. It seemed as if I was cursed with bad luck, every disciple I’ve had always had something bad happen to them, I didn’t want the same for you” Jiraiya states

“It’s all good you old perv, I have people in my life who are my family, even though you taking care of me like you were supposed to would have been nice in the beginning, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. All is forgiven” Naruto said

“Really? Thank you” Jiraiya said with a bow

“But I do have a question, why the name Naruto?” Naruto asked

“I randomly thought about it while eating ramen” Jiraiya answered

“I respect that” Naruto said

“It’s nothing really” Jiraiya said while rubbing the back of his head

“But honestly, what happened when you fought the leader of the Akatsuki?” Naruto asked

“He calls himself Pain, but he is actually my first student Nagato” Jiraiya said

——————————

(Flashback, during Jiraiya’s fight with pain)

“That face, Is that you Yahiko?” Jiraiya asked as he stared at the six people standing on the structure above him as he was surrounded by water, he was in sage mode with both Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders, he was injured and had lost an arm but was still able to fight.

“Oh, so you can still see Yahiko in me” said the man in the middle, he had orange hair with piercings all over his body, the one thing that stood out, was his strange purple eyes

“How is it possible that you possess the rinnegan? Jiraiya asked

“What is going on Jiraiya-Chan” asked Fukasaku

“Another one of my students is among them, first Konan and know Yahiko who seems to be the leader, but he never possessed the Rinnegan” Jiraiya answered

Fukasaku was asking “Do you think he may have-”

“I don’t know, are you Yahiko or Nagato, JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALREADY ?” Jiraiya asked

“We are pain, we are god” the main Pain said as they all jumped down. Jiraiya threw a punch at the main Pain but it was easily caught

“Yahiko why do you have Nagato’s eyes” Jiraiya asked

“Even if you knew, you could not win” the main Pain replied as he grabbed Jiriaya’s arm and threw him into the wall, Jiraiya landed on the wall instead. One of the Pains pointed their arms and released missiles which Jiraiya was able to dodge and outrun, the main Pain raised his arm and destroyed the structure Jiraiya was standing on. “His presence has disappeared” he said. Then suddenly one of the pains were grabbed from below and was dragged underwater

As the pain carefully landed on a rock, it broke down and he quickly jumped before he could land in whatever the liquid was “gastric fluid?” The pain thought

“RASENGAN” shouted Jiraiya as he appeared and it hit the pain and it fell in the liquid, it wasn’t over though as it jumped up and a rod extended from its arm and stabbed Jiraiya through his arm and into his chest. That’s when that pain truly died

“Are you ok lad?” Shima asked

“Not quite” Jiraiya said, he then broke the rod, and pulled it out of his arm. He suddenly felt as though something was wrong. “My body, my Chakras agitated” he mumbled

“Is it this?” Fukasaku said as he pulled out the rod from Jiraiya’s chest which made him feel much better. Jiraiya looked at the defeated pain as it’s headband fell, which made Jiraiya figure something out.

“That’s right now I remember” Jiraiya said

“What is it?” Fukasaku asked

“This fellow I’ve fought him before, I gave him that scar on his forehead” Jiraiya said as he pointed to the long horizontal scar the pain had on its forehead

“What is he doing here?” Shima asked

“I need to go back out to confirm something” Jiraiya said

“You can’t, you might not survive” Shima said

“Ma’am and boss, I need you guys to bring back the intel I’ve collected and this body” Jiraiya said

“Ma should be enough for that” Fukasaku said

“Be back by dinner time” Shima said

“I will” Fukasaku replied she then collected the body and returned to the village. Jiraiya then started swimming back up to the surface and when he saw a pin he threw a giant shuriken which they easily dodged. When Jiraiya saw the faces of all the pains, he was finally able to figure it out.

“These are all people I’ve encountered, I know Pain’s identity” Jiraiya said that’s when a portal appeared beside him, and he heard someone’s voice in his head

“You won’t survive, go in” the voice said Jiraiya hesitated but he knew that he had enough intel already, so he jumped into the portal head first, but his leg was grabbed by one of the pains. Realizing that he has no choice he cuts his own leg off and goes completely into the portal and he watches as it closes up behind him. When he looks around he realizes that he was back in the Hokage’s office and that he had survived

“JIRAIYA” Tsunade shouted as she ran to him

—————————

(Flashback over)

“And that’s what happened” JIRIAYA said with a sigh

“So you figured out that Pain was actually Nagato and he was controlling the dead bodies of people you have encountered, including Yahiko?” Naruto asked

“Yes, if that voice in my head and that portal hadn’t appeared I would have been dead by now” Jiraiya said with a sigh

“That was Hisui, he must have sensed what was going on and saved you” Naruto said

“If that’s true, then tell him I say thanks” Jiriaya said

‘No problem’ they both heard a voice in their head say

“Can he hear everything that’s going on?” Jiraiya asked fearful of all his darkest secrets getting exposed

‘No, I respect people’s privacy. My senses aren’t always on and neither is the telepathy’ they heard Hisui say

“Good” Jiriaya said

‘And Naruto come back, your gonna want to see this’ Naruto heard Hisui say

“Better be good, see you later Pervy old dude” Naruto said as he teleported to the castle where all Nox members were standing there just waiting for something

“God vs God, who is the true god?” Hisui said as an orange haired man appeared above the village.
