Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#356 - Paper Escape Xiaonan

The following scenario unfolded almost exactly as it did in the original storyline.

Perhaps due to long-term isolation and a stable life, the ordinary ninja in Amegakure, apart from the Akatsuki, had been living in comfort, and their vigilance had greatly diminished.

Even the sudden appearance of such a large tavern in the streets and alleys didn't raise any suspicion.

After about fifteen minutes, two ninja who had just finished their shift were easily attracted by the promotional sign at the tavern's entrance.

Then, the two who dove headfirst into the toad's stomach were naturally captured by Jiraiya.

The space inside the tavern also reverted to its fleshy appearance.

Immediately afterward, Liang Yue sensed that the toad outside, which had transformed into a tavern, had returned to its normal size and leaped into the stream by the roadside.

"It's really quite magical. This talent can be considered a strange beast that has comprehended spatial abilities, right?"

...

Inside the toad's dimension, Jiraiya took out a feather and began interrogating the two Amegakure ninja, while Liang Yue watched from the sidelines.

Soon, the night passed like this.

When the two returned to Amegakure, the thick clouds that had been hanging in the sky had quietly dissipated, and the rain had stopped.

"Act according to the previous plan, and be careful not to expose yourselves."

After Jiraiya and Liang Yue exchanged a look, Jiraiya led one of the Amegakure prisoners away along the alley in front of them.

On the other hand, Liang Yue couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Because at this moment, after seeing a paper butterfly fluttering there beside him, he knew that he had been exposed again.

The plan that Jiraiya had made with him before was very simple: Jiraiya would be responsible for opening the way ahead, and he would also be responsible if they encountered the Rinnegan.

Liang Yue only needed to observe the situation from the side...

"Who are you? What are you doing in Amegakure?"

Not long after arriving on the roof, a paper clone made up of hundreds of palm-sized sheets of paper suddenly appeared in front of Liang Yue.

The image of this paper clone was that of a young girl with a calm face and indifferent expression.

Her body floated lightly in the air, without legs, and a light purple paper flower was pinned to her blue-purple hair.

All the characteristics indicated that this person should be one of the founders of the Akatsuki, Konan.

At the same time, Jiraiya, who had just walked out of the alley and arrived at a fork in the road, seemed to have been blocked as well.

However, unlike Liang Yue's situation, Jiraiya was facing Konan's real body.

The master and disciple had only just met and hadn't even exchanged a few words before they started fighting.

...

"Your Akatsuki's activities in the ninja world have been very frequent recently, so I naturally have to come and collect some information about the Rinnegan before even greater disasters occur."

Looking at Konan's paper clone in front of him, Liang Yue simply took off the sunglasses on his nose.

With a flick of his sleeve, the sunglasses were returned to the storage space, and what appeared next was a camera brought from Konoha.

This camera's function was a bit advanced. Photos could be taken and retrieved instantly, and it could also perform long-distance focusing...

"Click~"

"Hyuga Shunjū, give me a reason not to kill you."

Looking at Liang Yue, who was taking pictures of her, Konan's clone remained unchanged, still indifferent.

"How about we exchange some information? I happen to know something about the Rinnegan as well."

As he spoke, Liang Yue looked at Konan's clone in front of him, who still had no expression but hadn't made any further moves, so he smiled at her and continued.

"I think the Rinnegan shouldn't have been born on Nagato's face, because the Rinnegan, in the final analysis, is the ultimate evolved form of the Sharingan.

It's impossible for a member of the Uzumaki clan to possess it unless someone transplanted it into his body and used Nagato's Sage Body to nourish it."

Speaking of this, Liang Yue came directly above the battlefield below, holding the camera and began taking pictures of the people fighting below.

Konan's paper clone followed him like a shadow behind him.

"So, you should have been used by someone. Someone is using you as pawns behind the scenes and wants to achieve some ulterior motive, but regarding what you are doing now.

I can guess some of it. You just want to collect the Tailed Beasts and then do the same thing as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to a certain extent, to promote a terrifying peace in the ninja world."

Speaking, Liang Yue looked at Konan's clone behind him again.

"But have you ever thought about it? What you are doing now and the goals that the person behind you wants to achieve may be the same to some extent.

Both are to collect all the Tailed Beasts, but afterward, you may become enemies again."

"What else do you know?"

Konan's clone narrowed her eyes, looking at him.

"Not a member of the Uchiha clan, but possessing the Rinnegan that requires extremely high realm and chakra quality, Nagato in this situation.

Even with his natural Sage Body, plus the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, may soon be unsustainable, right? At that time, the person behind the scenes will definitely come up with the idea of the Rinnegan again.

If you guys are~"

"Bang~"

Before Liang Yue could finish speaking, Konan's clone behind him suddenly turned into a sky full of paper, flying in all directions.

It seemed that she was satisfied with the information he provided~

Afterward, Liang Yue cast Stealth Jutsu and Invisibility Jutsu on himself, while minimizing his aura as much as possible, holding the camera and standing on the various floors, photographing the battlefield below from a high position.

The various ninjutsu and skills displayed by the Deva Path, Asura Path, Animal Path, Human Path, Preta Path, and Naraka Path, and even a bunch of summoned beasts summoned by the Animal Path, were all recorded in the pictures.

In a short while, Liang Yue had a stack of photos in his hand.

Compared with the original storyline, Jiraiya at this time has undoubtedly become even more powerful.

Originally, using that half-baked "Sage Mode" required spending a lot of extra time to gather natural energy, but now he is always in the "Sage" state.

Just after a few moves, the Preta Path, Animal Path, and Asura Path below had already been defeated by Jiraiya on the spot.

At this time, Liang Yue felt that he had collected almost enough "information", so he jumped lightly and jumped into the battlefield.

Who knew that just before he landed on the scene, the people fighting below instantly moved the battlefield.

Seeing this, Liang Yue had no choice but to follow closely behind.

In a short while, the two sides fighting had fought all the way from the heart of Amegakure to the surface of the water outside the ninja village.

The development of the whole process was the same as in the original storyline. Jiraiya, because he was a little careless, was cut off an arm by the resurrected Asura Path puppet man in one careless move.

So embarrassing...

However, afterward, this arm was picked up by Liang Yue, who was walking behind, and thrown into the storage space~
