Chapter 239 All Ninja Clan Deserves to Die
Jiraiya's Rasengan vanished instantly, and his body plummeted heavily from mid-air.
In mid-air, he forced himself to turn his head and saw another familiar impure body being smashed to pieces by the ninjutsu of the two toad sages.
The face that was exactly the same as the Hokage Rock was being reassembled amidst the flying paper scraps. Just like the First Hokage, his eyes were blank and expressionless.
"Tobirama-sama————"
Jiraiya muttered something and then fell heavily to the ground. His already narrow wound was torn open, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Little Jiraiya!"
The two toad immortals hurriedly and frantically tried to cover his wounds and use their magic to heal him.
However, the Sage Art of Mount Myōboku is not as focused on healing as that of Shikkotsu Forest, and it is completely unable to repair Jiraiya's shattered heart. At most, it can only temporarily keep him alive for a while.
"Hahaha—" Mizuki on the other side burst into laughter, "Lord Jiraiya, this method of completely controlling the reanimated body means that one person can only control one object at a time."
"But you don't actually think I'm the only one who can be resurrected through Edo Tensei, do you?"
"Lord Kazuma has already said that we should normalize forbidden techniques in the future, and of course, the more people who know them, the better!"
"However, since it is also a form of impure world resurrection, those of us who have Lord Ma's trust can naturally control stronger targets."
"Such a powerful ninja as the First Hokage was naturally controlled by Lord Kazuma himself. What I'm actually controlling is the Second Hokage, Tobirama!"
"We branded the Flying Thunder God technique on Lord Hashirama's reanimated body beforehand, and then had Lord Hashirama stand in front of you."
"When you passed through Lord Hashirama's body, I controlled Lord Tobirama to come over and trick you."
"Lord Tobirama truly lives up to his title as the Second Hokage. That strike was both steady and precise, killing in one blow."
"How about it? Not bad, right?"
"I came up with this myself!"
"Hahahaha—I never expected that the famous Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, would die at the hands of an unknown nobody like me, Mizuki!"
"I'm so honored!"
Shui Mu was extremely excited at this moment, and his whole body became excited. His usually kind face was now twisted and twitched, and he looked crazy.
He turned to look at Kazuma and the others in the distance, making sure they were far enough away that they couldn't possibly hear their conversation, before lowering his voice and saying menacingly, "Back in the day, when I graduated from the Ninja Academy, I only knew a handful of common ninjutsu."
"Those despicable ninja clans tightly control the resources of ninjutsu, and they won't let us lowly commoner ninjas learn it easily."
"If I want to learn some advanced ninjutsu, I need to complete missions and earn merits before I can exchange them for them in the village."
"But some people can learn whatever they want just because they were born into a ninja clan. They are already standing on the finish line that is far beyond my reach from the moment they are born."
"Do you know how envious I was back then?"
"Thank goodness!"
"An accident happened; the village was destroyed."
"We lowly trash finally have the chance to acquire more powerful ninjutsu by risking our lives."
"But I'm not reconciled. Why should I?"
"Why should I risk my life for those heartless ninja clans and the village's upper echelons?"
"Just for a few mere B-rank and A-rank ninjutsu?"
"Therefore, I've chosen the right person!"
"Look, now I have everything!"
"I can learn S-rank ninjutsu whenever I want!"
"I can look at the Book of Seals whenever I want!"
"I don't need to do any missions; the title of Jonin naturally falls to me."
"Power, fame, status—I have everything now!"
"Even you, the legendary Sannin of Konoha who once seemed unattainable to me," now the Fifth Hokage, will die by my hand!
"Hahahaha—this is so exciting!"
Jiraiya fell to the ground, feeling his life force continuously gushing out along with the wound on his chest.
He stared in astonishment at Shui Mu, who was acting erratically in front of him, and sensed something chilling in Shui Mu's words.
"You...you hate those ninja clans and the village's upper echelons—"
"That's right, of course I hate them." Mizuki didn't hide anything, and said with a low, sinister laugh, "Konoha Village was ruined by these guys, and my family was killed by them."
"All ninja clans deserve to die!"
"All the high-ranking officials deserve to die!"
"Jiraiya, to be honest, you're a good person. If you had become Hokage years ago, I wouldn't be like this now."
"But unfortunately, it's no use saying anything now."
"Konoha Village is completely rotten and beyond saving."
"Anyone who wants to save Konoha will only end up like you, dying a gruesome death."
After a few dejected sighs, Mizuki reverted to his usual hypocritical demeanor, smiling as he said, "Lord Jiraiya, don't worry, I'll send those ninja clans down to keep you company soon."
"Don't expect these toads to tip you off. I'm Lord Xu Gu's confidant. Do you think those people will believe me, or you and a few toads?"
"They'll most likely think these toads are trying to avenge you and are deliberately slandering me."
"Besides, even if they find out the truth, I don't care."
"As long as I cling to Lord Xu Gu's powerful backing, what can they do even if they find out the truth?"
Looking at Mizuki, whose face was full of smugness and whose words were full of contempt for the ninja clan, Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine.
"You, you can't—" Jiraiya coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and could no longer speak clearly.
But for the sake of the village he was meant to protect, he still struggled to lift his head and cast a pleading look at Mizuki.
"Please—the village—"
"Heh heh—" Mizuki chuckled coldly, slowly turning around. "Just look at yourselves and you'll know that Konoha's fate was sealed. It was all their own choice; they have no one else to blame but themselves."
Seeing his beloved village reduced to this state, Jiraiya was heartbroken. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and finally succumbed to his injuries, falling into a state of near death.
The whole world began to fade.
He vaguely heard the mournful cries of the two toad immortals, and also heard Shui Mu's triumphant laughter.
In a daze, he seemed to see his deceased relatives and companions waving to him.
Hiruzen-sensei, Tsunade, Minato, Dan —
In his final moments before plunging into eternal darkness, Jiraiya remembered the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
"What a pity, I haven't found the prophesied child who will save the world yet!"
The thought vanished in an instant.
Jiraiya has left the stage!
