The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 213 This is the Ninja World, a purgatory, not a fairy tale world!

"Heh, if being big were all that mattered, then humans wouldn't be the dominant species in the ninja world."

An sneered, changed his gesture, raised his hand, and the light gate in front of him disappeared. The chakra prayer beads merged together and gathered in his palm. Golden light shone on the edge of his palm, forming a sword shape, and it continuously contracted and expanded like a supernova.

After a brief moment of preparation, An brought the lightsaber down heavily.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

This move is specifically designed to target large enemies, and it doesn't offer much advantage against smaller creatures.

I don't know why Toneri had to use this move to fight Naruto, and he wasted so much chakra.

If he had used that move to cut down the Nine-Tails, it would have been dead long ago.

Before the attack could even land, the force of the attack had already struck Gamabunta's head.

Bunta's animal instincts kicked in frantically, every bump on his skin trembled, and a sense of crisis that would make even a toad shudder instantly arose in Bunta's heart.

But he still has no intention of backing down.

He is the mighty toad boss of Mount Myoboku, he has seen all kinds of situations, how could he back down in the face of difficulties?

"Drink it!"

He roared, stood on his webbed feet, one in front of the other, gripped the knife above his head, and slashed at the sky with all his might, ready to take the blow head-on.

However, the power of this move far exceeded his expectations. With just a flash of golden light, the light sword easily broke through his defenses, cleaving him in two from head to toe, and embedding itself into the ground.

Time seemed to stand still, and Gamabunta immediately froze on the spot.

Only when the tip of the huge broken sword fell from mid-air and landed on the ground, embedding itself deep into the earth with a dull "thud," did time seem to resume its flow.

"puff----"

A thick jet of blood gushed out from Bunta's body, like a fountain, shooting high into the air before splashing down and spreading over an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius.

Bunta's enormous body slowly parted to the left and right, gradually falling to the sides, revealing Jiraiya protecting him from behind.

Under the influence of blood pressure, Gamabunta's internal organs and flesh suddenly burst out from the wound, and a shower of blood fell from mid-air, drenching Jiraiya and the two toad sages.

"Bunta!"

Jiraiya and the two toad sages cried out in surprise, unable to maintain their previous calm and composed state, and the little bit of natural energy they had gathered immediately dissipated.

Jiraiya's first toad acquaintance was Bunta, and their relationship was arguably the closest.

It can be said that without Gamabunta, there would be no Jiraiya as we know him today.

The two had fought side by side for many years, defeating countless powerful enemies, but who would have thought they would die here today?

Jiraiya's mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there, somewhat numb.

However, Itachi had no connection with Gamabunta, so his emotions were not affected. Instead, taking advantage of the destruction of the Wood Release forest in front of him, he rushed to An in a few steps and threw a heavy punch at An.

Faced with Itachi's attack, An remained calm and composed. He gently floated upwards, like a deity soaring into the heavens, easily dodging the attack.

He hovered high above the clouds, just like Payne in the past, looking down at the masses below.

Perhaps it was because of the distance, but his voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

"Jiraiya!"

"Nagato was right, you really are someone who will never improve!"

"After all these years, you've still been stuck in the same place, making no progress whatsoever."

"Orochimaru has improved, Neji has improved, even Hiruzen Sarutobi has improved, but you're the only one who hasn't!"

"This is the ninja world, a purgatory, not a fairy tale!"

"Everything here must be earned through one's own hands. There is no savior, and no god to trust!"

"It's good to always have hope in your heart, but that hope won't come out of thin air; you have to realize it step by step yourself!"

"If you don't strive for hope yourself, but instead place all your hopes on a vague savior, the end result will be disappointment after disappointment. You will watch helplessly as what you cherish is destroyed bit by bit."

"Your personality, to put it nicely, is called childlike innocence; to put it bluntly, it's called immaturity, naivety, ignorance, escapism, and a refusal to grow up."

"You're simply not suited to be a ninja; a writer who travels around gathering inspiration is a much better fit for your life."

"Leave this place, Jiraiya."

"You should already know what the situation is like in Konoha Village; it's been rotten to the core for a long time."

"A rotten tree cannot bear fresh fruit."

"If you really want to find some kind of savior, then go ahead and look for one. Anyway, that kind of thing definitely won't appear in the current Konoha Village."

"Shut up!" Jiraiya's eyes were bloodshot as he glared murderously at An in mid-air, gritting his teeth as he said, "Stop spouting your arrogant lectures!"

"If abandoning comrades and treating human life like dirt is called progress, then I'd rather there be no progress at all!"

"Look at what you've done all these years!"

"How many innocent people in the village have died because of you?"

"How much turmoil in the ninja world has been caused by you?"

"Is this what you call growing up?"

"You have clearly lost all humanity!"

"Humanity? Hahahaha—" An suddenly burst into laughter, "You're saying I have no humanity?"

"If I were inhuman, I could completely abandon my hatred for the Uchiha clan and stay in Konoha without any guilt."

"Do you think the Third Hokage will treat me with great courtesy and respect, given my current strength?"

"If I had no humanity, I wouldn't need to seek revenge at all. I could have openly inherited the Uchiha clan's legacy and become the head of a powerful clan in the ninja world overnight, with all the money and beauty I could want."

"Will this satisfy you?"

"You'll all genuinely praise me, saying, 'Uchiha An truly possesses the Will of Fire!'"

"He didn't even care that his entire family was wiped out by the village; he's definitely the most loyal lackey of Konoha!"

"I'm human for giving up hatred, but I'm inhuman for seeking revenge for my people? What, is this humanity something you raised?"

"You say someone has it, and they have it; you say someone doesn't, and they don't have it?"

This time, Jiraiya remained silent. He now deeply felt how pale and powerless language was in the face of the bloodshed of reality.
