Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 174: Jiraiya’s Failure as a Teacher

Jiraiya was dazed, and before he could react, Fukasaku and Shima were sealed into the sky together.

"Yuta! Quickly release them!"

While feeling frightened and angry, Jiraiya suddenly charged towards Yuta.

The torn boulders on the ground flew toward the sphere in the sky, squeezing the sphere to become denser.

It was hard to say whether the sages were still alive.

Under such pressing force, even the strongest flesh would be easily crushed into paste.

Yuta scoffed, "With your puny strength, you dare to challenge me?"

With a disdainful expression, Yuta swept his leg and kicked Jiraiya away.

In the original story, after resurrection, Madara had easily defeated Naruto in Kurama Chakra Mode, and even Sasuke with Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Back then, Naruto and Sasuke had just teamed up to defeat Six Paths Obito.

In terms of strength, Jiraiya was far inferior to Naruto and Sasuke at that time and Yuta was even stronger than Madara at his peak.

Although Jiraiya was in Sage Mode, his power barely reached the peak of Kage-level.

To Yuta, he was nothing more than an easy kill.

Bang!

Jiraiya crashed into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.

Jiraiya's thoughts wandered around.

Had he just been swept away like that?

Even without Fukasaku and Shima, he was still in Sage Mode.

How could he be overpowered so easily?!

Hadn't Yuta just fought the Great Toad Sage?

How could he still be this strong?!

"Damn it!"

Jiraiya, who was still in Sage Mode was uninjured. He quickly got up, his face filled with anger.

"This is boring."

Yuta's expression remained indifferent.

"Bansho Ten'in!"

He raised his hand, instantly dragging Jiraiya toward him.

Despite Sage Mode enhancing his strength, Jiraiya couldn't resist this overwhelming force.

Schlick!

Yuta slammed Jiraiya into the ground and threw several black receivers, pinning Jiraiya's limbs.

"Mastering Sage Mode might make you strong, but that's all there is to it."

"You know nothing about true power."

Yuta looked down at Jiraiya coldly.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and struggled, trying to break free, but the black receivers completely drained his chakra.

Even his Senjutsu chakra was sealed.

Although he was unable to move, Jiraiya still glared at Yuta defiantly and said, "My strength may not be the greatest, but someone like you, who abuses power for control, will never be truly recognized! You'll never attain real strength."

"You may force others to submit, but one day, someone will rise against you!"

Yuta raised an eyebrow, feeling amused.

He said, "I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?"

"You claim that someone will resist me one day. Then why haven't you tried to stop me before?"

"Is your entire plan just training Naruto, the so-called Son of Prophecy, and waiting for him to defeat me in the future?"

Jiraiya's expression changed instantly.

Yuta had hit the mark.

Jiraiya was too weak to change anything himself.

His only hope was to guide Naruto, the Son of Prophecy foretold by the Great Toad Sage on the right path.

Now, because of Yuta's influence, Konoha's ninja school had banned the teaching of the Will of Fire.

It was up to Jiraiya to teach Naruto himself.

Naruto was Minato's son, the son of the Fourth Hokage.

If even he failed to uphold Konoha's Will of Fire, it would be ridiculous.

"What are you planning? Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage." Jiraiya warned.

Yuta sneered, "Relax. I have no interest in harming that little brat Naruto."

"But forcing a child to accept your ideology, and making him believe in your so-called 'Will of Fire'! Is that really the right thing to do?"

"You claim you want peace but you do nothing but travel aimlessly. You waste your time writing books, while leaving the responsibility of 'changing the world' to a child who isn't even ten years old."

"It's ridiculous! You are the real failure here!"

Jiraiya's face flushed with embarrassment, but he had no rebuttal.

Naruto was the Son of Prophecy, as foretold by the Great Toad Sage.

And Minato had sealed the Nine Tails inside Naruto for a reason. He had high hopes for his son.

Jiraiya firmly said, "Even without my guidance, Naruto would never approve of a tyrant like you."

Naruto was different.

He would never follow someone like Yuta, who destroyed anything that stood in his way.

Naruto, the Son of Prophecy, would stand against Yuta one day.

"Conviction? How laughable!"

Yuta chuckled coldly.

"Yahiko, your former student, died because of his naive belief in your ideals."

"Nagato and Konan? They abandoned you a long time ago."

Jiraiya's eyes widened and he said, "What do you mean? Weren't all three of them killed?!"

"How do you know this?!"

It was Mount Myōboku's messenger frog, who had told him that all three of his students were dead.

But now Yuta was saying that Nagato and Konan were still alive?!

What had really happened back then?

If they were still alive, why had they never contacted him again?

Jiraiya had recently learned that Orochimaru had joined a mysterious mercenary organization.

And that organization had actually been founded by Nagato?!

Not only that, Nagato had defeated Hanzo and seized control of Amegakure.

Yuta smirked and said, "Nagato's ideals align more with mine than with yours."

Jiraiya's mind spun as memories flooded in.

Yahiko was killed because of Danzo and Hanzo's schemes?!

So only Yahiko had died back then?!

Then why did the messenger frog claim that all three were dead?

And why had Nagato and Konan never reached out to him again?

He had taught them about peace, about understanding between people.

But instead of following his ideals, they had chosen the same path as Yuta.

They had turned to absolute power to establish order.

Meanwhile, their so-called teacher, the one who had preached peace was the one they abandoned.

"Why?"

"The messenger frog clearly told me they were dead."

"Why did they choose this path?"

Jiraiya wanted to believe that Yuta had brainwashed them.

But deep down, he knew the truth. Nagato and Konan had already formed their organization before Yuta had ever appeared.

They had already set their sights on gathering the tailed beasts.

Their goal had always been to dominate the world through force.

Jiraiya clenched his fists.

Had he failed that badly as a teacher?

Nagato and Konan had completely rejected everything he had taught them.
