****************
The next day, Colt found Jiraiya's contact toad in the village early in the morning.
Soon after, Jiraiya returned to the village through reverse summoning and met with him.
"Ready to go now?" Colt asked, feeling a bit embarrassed, assuming Jiraiya must have been anxious from waiting so long.
However, Jiraiya waved his hand dismissively.
"No need to rush. I've suffered long enough on Mount Myōboku with Naruto. Let's take it easy for now."
Colt asked curiously when he heard that.
"Has Naruto's Sage Mode training been successful?"
Considering the time, Naruto had been there for almost a month, and Colt wondered about the results.
Jiraiya sighed, looking both pained and slightly relieved.
"He's made good progress, but the duration is still short, and he needs to use toad oil to absorb natural energy. But it won't be long before he masters it completely."
Jiraiya felt a mix of shame and pride that his disciple was learning so quickly.
'Minato, your son has finally grown up,' he thought to himself.
As Ashura's reincarnation and the possessor of the Sage Body, Naruto's affinity for natural energies grew stronger with age. His power was increasing faster and faster.
Compared to Indra's reincarnations, Ashura's were late bloomers.
Kind, but slow to develop—except for the outlier, Hashirama, who had been rivaling Madara since childhood.
Since Jiraiya wasn't in a hurry, Colt didn't press to leave immediately.
They agreed to set off early in the morning three days later.
Three days later, Colt found himself staring at Jiraiya lying on a hospital bed, the corners of his mouth twitching. Jiraiya was covered in bandages, with even one of his eyes patched up.
It looked as if he had just escaped from the Hidden Rain Village instead of going to it.
"Shizune, what on earth happened here?" Colt asked helplessly, turning to the woman who had brought him there.
Shizune glanced at Jiraiya in disgust before explaining the whole story to Colt.
It turned out that upon returning to the "flower world" of Konoha from the ascetic environment of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya's perverted heart had started beating wildly again.
After drinking heavily, he decided to "gather research material" at a women's hot spring.
Unfortunately for him, he happened to encounter Tsunade and Shizune, who were there to relax after work.
Tsunade's first thought upon seeing Jiraiya was that the old lecher had come to peep on her.
And then...
"Stop, I get the picture," Colt interrupted, not wanting to hear the tragic details.
He looked at Jiraiya speechlessly.
"Can't you change this nasty habit? Aren't there enough women in the red-light district for you?"
"Ouch!" Jiraiya struggled and waved his arm, but the movement pulled at his wounds, causing him to wince in pain.
"Colt, Tsunade-sama specifically instructed you not to treat Master Jiraiya today, to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget," Shizune reminded from the side.
Colt waved his hand.
"We can't delay any longer. The Akatsuki's activities are becoming more frequent, and if we wait, they might come knocking at our door. As for Jiraiya's punishment, we'll deal with that when he returns."
"Well..." Shizune hesitated, then nodded.
"I'll go back and inform Tsunade-sama."
Half an hour later, Colt and Jiraiya walked out of Konoha's gate, with Izumo and Kotetsu waving goodbye.
"Your medical ninjutsu is truly extraordinary," Jiraiya remarked, looking at his now-intact face.
"It has surpassed Tsunade's." There were no traces of injuries left on his body.
Colt rolled his eyes.
"Flattery won't get you anywhere. When you get back, you'll be joining Naruto on Mount Myōboku to eat the bugs."
Jiraiya laughed heartily, not bothered at all.
He was used to eating bugs by now.
The two didn't use the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to travel, as Jiraiya had a habit of gathering intelligence along the way.
When not indulging in his vices, he was indeed quite reliable.
After three days of intermittent travel, they reached the outskirts of the Hidden Rain Village.
"I hope this time we can find the mastermind behind the Akatsuki," Jiraiya said, his expression complex.
He had been tracing the organization's information ever since Orochimaru had joined it.
But now, the Akatsuki had evolved into the root of all evil in the ninja world.
Colt remained silent.
The concept of a "mastermind" still made him uneasy in this world.
He remembered the online debates about the final boss when watching the series...
At first, everyone thought the kind-looking Third Hokage was the big boss.
Then Orochimaru appeared with his cold demeanor and strange jutsus, seeming to fit the bill.
When the shadowy leader of the Akatsuki was revealed, various speculations arose.
The most outrageous theory was that the Fourth Hokage had founded Akatsuki and was its leader.
Later, when Pain appeared, his overwhelming presence made him seem like the true boss.
Then the masked man, Tobi, dropped his act, killed Konan, and stole the Rinnegan.
He claimed to be Uchiha Madara's puppet...
And Madara, with his unparalleled aura and lofty, if unrealistic, ideals, became the perfect villain.
But shortly after his resurrection, Black Zetsu tore out his heart.
Sighing, Colt looked at Jiraiya.
"What's your plan?"
Jiraiya's expression turned solemn.
"The Hidden Rain Village has a well-developed drainage system, and there's a lake nearby connected to their pipes. You've left your [Flying Thunder God] mark on me, so wait until I activate it for you to enter."
Colt nodded, placing his hand on Jiraiya's body to reinforce the mark.
"Be careful," he warned.
Jiraiya gave a thumbs up, flashing his shiny teeth to reassure Colt.
"[Summoning Jutsu]!" Jiraiya called forth a toad and climbed into its stomach.
It seemed he had learned a few tricks from his old friend Orochimaru.
Inside the Hidden Rain Village, a manhole cover suddenly popped open.
A toad leaped out, its mouth wide open as Jiraiya emerged.
Looking at the surrounding towers, the gloomy weather, and the perpetual rain, Jiraiya frowned slightly.
The oppressive atmosphere made him feel a bit suffocated.
He still preferred Konoha's warm winters and cool summers.
Without delay, Jiraiya made his way to an alley. Seeing no one around, he activated the [Flying Thunder God] mark.
In an instant, Colt appeared before him.

****************
"What a convenient jutsu!" Jiraiya exclaimed with a hint of envy in his voice.
He wondered why he couldn't learn such a technique.
With it, the world would be his oyster. Every time he saw this brat use it, he couldn't help but want it.
Colt didn't respond.
He was keenly aware of the chakra infused in the rain.
[Rain Tiger at Will Technique], a large-scale sensory jutsu that used chakra-infused rainwater to detect intruders.
This meant that Pain had likely discovered them the moment they appeared.
He raised his head, looking towards the highest point of the Hidden Rain Village.
Despite the numerous obstacles, Colt could sense Pain's gaze upon him.
The Tower of God—that's what Pain had named the building.
He stood at its peak, with Konan by his side.
"It seems our guests have noticed us," Pain said impassively, his Rinnegan appearing with a blank gaze.
"Should I deal with them?" Paper wings began to form behind Konan.
At Pain's nod, she would immediately eliminate the intruders.
It had always been that way, how they operated.
Unexpectedly, Pain shook his head gently.
"Our guests are rather special this time—Jiraiya and Kamiyo Colt."
Konan's breath caught in her throat.
Jiraiya-sama...
She would never forget the days when she, Yahiko, and Nagato gathered around Jiraiya to learn ninjutsu.
But now… it was too late.
"Are you going to confront them?" she asked.
Pain hummed softly but didn't move immediately.
"I heard Madara sent Uchiha Sasuke with Kisame to capture the Eight-Tails?"
Obito had allowed Sasuke to join the Akatsuki without Pain's consent.
Naturally, Pain was displeased with this behavior.
However, the capture of the Tailed Beasts had reached a critical stage. Only the Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails remained.
The others had already been sealed within the Gedo Statue.
Letting Uchiha Sasuke temporarily serve as a tool to help capture the Eight-Tails wasn't a major issue. The only one he had to be wary of was Madara.
Pain silently considered his next move, then suddenly asked, "Any news about the Seven-Tails?"
He had captured the Six-Tails long ago, but the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki had mysteriously vanished from Takigakure.
This originally simple target had become a hindrance.
Konan shook her head.
"I've searched extensively, however, not only have we failed to find it, but many of our subordinates have also disappeared without explanation."
Pain frowned.
This was becoming increasingly troublesome.
How could they fail to locate even the weakest Jinchūriki?
Meanwhile, Colt and Jiraiya had separated, searching in different directions.
Colt headed straight for Pain's location without hesitation.
This was the strongest enemy he had encountered in the ninja world so far.
While not quite at the Six Paths level, Pain had reached the pinnacle of Kage-level strength. Colt looked forward to seeing what surprises Pain might bring.
As he thought about this, Colt sighed.
Why hadn't his Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan yet? It had only enhanced his ocular powers so far.
The streets grew emptier, and even the patrolling ninjas were disappearing.
This was Pain's doing.
Colt passed through an iron gate into a vast, empty square.
"It's been raining for so long. Aren't you tired of it?" he called out.
As he spoke, his hands formed seals. Chakra erupted, and airwaves rose into the sky, dispersing the rain clouds.
"This would be much easier if Yakumo was here," he mused, thinking of his maid's more refined techniques.
"Kamiyo Colt." A solemn voice echoed from high above, reverberating through the empty square with an almost sacred quality.
Colt wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he could swear he heard background music playing in his mind.
After several leaps, Colt found himself opposite Pain.
Beside the Deva Path stood the Asura Path and the Animal Path.
Konan had disappeared.
Pain didn't rush to attack.
"Kamiyo Colt, I've long heard of your name."
He had stood in the way of the Akatsuki multiple times and was in the possession of two fearsome Kekkei Genkais—Wood Release and the Sharingan.
Naturally, that had caught Pain's attention.
Colt laughed.
"I've never heard of you in the ninja world. You're as obscure as a mouse."
Pain wasn't offended by the taunt.
His voice remained flat.
"My name is Pain. Remember it as the last name you'll know before you die."
As he spoke, the Asura Path's arm unfolded and deformed, launching several small missiles towards Colt. Simultaneously, the Animal Path slammed its hands on the ground, summoning a giant crab and a three-headed dog.
Colt leaped to avoid the missiles and conjured an earth wall, but before he could steady himself, the three-headed dog lunged at him.
BOOM!
The wall crumbled as the three-headed dog collided with it.
But Colt had already scattered his Flying Thunder God feathers and instantly appeared beside the Asura Path, his fist raised to strike.
"[Flying Thunder God Technique]?" Pain's Deva Path quickly analyzed the situation.
"It seems every weapon of his bears his Flying Thunder God mark."
Thanks to their shared vision, the Asura Path anticipated Colt's trajectory and reached out to grab his fist.
However, this punch, empowered by Colt's immense physical strength, was not so easily countered.
BOOM! CRACK!
The unexpected force smashed the Asura Path into the ground, scattering weapon parts everywhere.
With just one blow, the Asura Path was completely destroyed.
Even the Deva Path Pain furrowed his brow.
He had expected Colt to be formidable, but primarily in ninjutsu.
He hadn't anticipated such overwhelming physical strength.
The summoned crab, having located Colt's position, spewed forth a torrent of foam, covering the surrounding Flying Thunder God feathers.
This way, no matter where Colt teleported, he would be vulnerable to an attack.
"Trying to restrict my movement? Then I won't move," Colt declared.
His 3-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, forming the intricate pattern of the Mangekyō.
The giant [Susanoo] materialized around him, its samurai form easily deflecting the crab's water-style attacks.
Colt turned to look at the Deva Path Pain, who had yet to move.
"Still gathering information on me?"
He smiled confidently. "Then I'll give you more to collect."
"[Yasaka Magatama]!"
A series of magatama projectiles shot forth, and finally, the Deva Path Pain made his move as he couldn't keep watching.
"[Shinra Tensei]!"
