Chapter 585: Is My Life Really That Worthless?
"Ah!"
Jiraiya let out a strange cry as memories of his death flooded back.
Only then did he realize that his time in the bathhouse was merely a beautiful dream.
The real him had died during a mission infiltrating Amegakure to gather intel on Akatsuki.
And he was killed by Six Paths Pain—his own disciple...
From Nagato’s perspective, he had been very courteous to Jiraiya.
He first sent Konan to persuade him to retreat. When talks failed, he only sent Animal Path’s summons to attack, trying to force Jiraiya to back off.
After that, he escalated the pressure layer by layer, always aiming to drive Jiraiya away, not kill him.
He even deliberately revealed much information to let Jiraiya complete his mission and report back.
Throughout the battle, the choice to stay or leave was always Jiraiya’s, and he had plenty of chances to escape until he uncovered Six Paths Pain’s greatest secret.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya’s stubborn nature made him prioritize intel and the village over his own life.
