Excuse me.
After saying this, he left with Hongdou.
As she passed by, Anko politely nodded to Jiraiya.
Seeing this scene, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh:
After years of hardship, Hongdou has finally returned to her mentor's side...
Since Orochimaru betrayed the village many years ago.
Anko can be considered a student of the Hokage.
Who could have predicted that Orochimaru would become the Fifth Hokage?
Jiraiya received news that Orochimaru had become the Fifth Hokage; it was a letter delivered by Asuka from Konoha.
However, the letter was very short and did not explain what had happened.
Therefore, Jiraiya was still completely clueless about the Third Hokage.
There was nothing new happening at the Minato, so Jiraiya turned his attention to the medical room next door.
He wondered how Nagato was doing.
Karin pushed Nagato into another hidden room.
She then put her arm near his mouth.
Crisply, she said, "Take a bite quickly, your injury is quite serious."
Chapter 254 Wood Release Scroll! Tobi!
Karin was still unaware of Nagato's background.
But when she saw his red hair, she felt an overwhelming surge of affection for him.
She knew that this person, like her, was also a member of the Uzumaki clan.
At this point, although Nagato was blind, he could still sense his surroundings.
"Judging from your chakra, you must be a member of the Uzumaki clan as well."
Xiao Nan said with a hint of worry:
"Nagato, don't speak yet, let's heal your wounds quickly."
Karin responded by saying:
"Yes, my mother is from the Uzumaki clan."
Despite the blood trickling from her eye, Nagato remained calm.
Upon hearing Karin's words, a gentle expression appeared on his face.
"I am a member of the Uzumaki clan, just like you."
My name is Nagato, and hers is Konan.
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together, and his body quickly began to recover.
Karin was extremely surprised to see this.
His healing skills are amazing!
Nagato let out a breath. He hadn't been careful and had a lot of his chakra absorbed by the Rinnegan, which was why he was in such a bad state.
The bones that were previously broken have now been put back in place.
Nagato has now regained some of his chakra.
The wounds on my body are healing much faster now.
"I'm fine, I'll recover on my own."
Konan then remembered that Nagato had mentioned having this ability, but she hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
Relieved, she looked at Karin gratefully and thanked her:
"Thanks to you."

Are you a disciple of Orochimaru?
Karin was only 12 years old at the time, and she and her mother had suffered a lot before meeting Orochimaru.
But after following Orochimaru, her life became much easier.
Having no worries about food and drink, I truly feel very happy with my current life, especially considering I lost my mother at a young age.
Although Orochimaru did not formally accept her as his disciple, Karin became his disciple on her own.
Living with Orochimaru for so many years has changed her personality a lot.
At least Karin is much more obedient and cute now.
"Yes, I am Orochimaru's disciple. My master had already told me this before."
"You don't need to go to him, you can go directly to Lord Kawasaki."
Karin looked at Nagato's eyes, though they were no longer bleeding.
But the empty gaze still looks terrifying.
"Are you sure your eyes are 8170? The teacher has the technology to clone them."
Karin rarely sees people of her own kind, so she naturally cares a lot.
Although Nagato lost his eyes, Karin, as Orochimaru's frequent assistant, was already used to this situation.
Nagato shook his head and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk about the eye problem later."
"Is the teacher still waiting outside?"
Karin nodded and said, "It should still be there, since you don't need to treat your wound anymore."
"Then let's say goodbye here. I need to go back for dinner."
After Karin left, only Nagato and Konan remained in the room.
Konan inquired about Jiraiya's situation, asking, "What do we do next?"
Nagato's expression was calm and relaxed. At this moment, he had let go of all his burdens and could finally live his true self.
"Don't tell Jiraiya anything until Kawasaki agrees."
"And what about Yahiko?"
Konan had previously told Jiraiya about Yahiko's death.
Remembering Kawasaki's earlier reminder, Nagato replied:
"Also, don't mention that Kawasaki has already made arrangements for this matter."
"Alright, then let's meet the teacher."
"Ah."
The two walked out of the room.
Sure enough, Jiraiya was standing outside the door.
"Nagato, Konan!"
Nagato remained calm and smiled, saying, "It's been a long time, teacher."
Xiao Nan then called out, "Teacher."
Jiraiya looked at Nagato with concern and asked, "Nagato, how are you feeling? What happened to Konan? Why did you two clash with Obito?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, Nagato said softly:
"Let's find another place to talk in detail."
Seeing that Nagato was recovering well, Jiraiya agreed and led the two away from the laboratory to his residence in the village. On the way, they noticed that there were far fewer surveillance cameras around them.
Jiraiya brought the group home, where he didn't live often, but someone regularly cleaned and tidied the place.
After sitting down, Nagato spoke:
"Danzo killed Yahiko back then, so I took over the organization."
“I turned Yahiko into a puppet and controlled its actions.”
These events filled Jiraiya with both guilt and shock; he felt guilty for not being able to prevent the tragedy from happening sooner.
The shocking revelation was that the once-powerful leader was merely an illusion.
"Then why did you use your Rinnegan on Yahiko?"
Nagato replied, "The true owner is still myself; that is merely a projection."
"I thought Obito Uchiha was a trustworthy person, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy that he even wanted to steal my treasure."
Jiraiya thought to himself: I did hear him shout things like "the Rinnegan betrayed me" back then, so there must be more to the story.
But instead of asking further questions, she steered the conversation to another topic: "What are your plans for the future?"
The primary task at present is to repair the damaged eyes. The best way is to ask Orochimaru to perform cell culture.
It is said that the eyeballs of the Fugaku father and son have been successfully reproduced using this method, but the performance is only average and has not reached the original level.
For now, it's more important to focus on perfect recovery functionality rather than striving for it.
Kawasaki fell into deep thought.
There were some White Zetsu in Konoha Village, which he didn't find particularly strange, but hearing Nagato say that there were quite a few of them made him feel uneasy.
Kawasaki became alert; he needed to quickly relocate the Uchiha clan to another location.
Kawasaki didn't want to see unnecessary sacrifices.
No matter what Obito and his group are up to, he needs to discuss it with Orochimaru first.
