Tsukasa met up with Tenten, Hinata, and Hanabi at a local park. The sun was shining and there was a cool breeze blowing. They decided to spend the day together, just hanging out and having fun.

Tenten brought some weapons to practice with, and Tsukasa showed them some of his own techniques with his Ketsuryūgan. Hinata and Hanabi were fascinated by his abilities, and they asked him to show them some more.

Tsukasa happily obliged, demonstrating his skills with weapons and taijutsu. Tenten joined in, showing them some of her own impressive skills with weapons. The four of them spent hours practicing and training, each learning from one another.

Afterwards, they decided to grab some food from a nearby restaurant. They talked and laughed over their meal, enjoying each other's company. Tsukasa was grateful for their friendship and felt happy to have such kind and supportive friends.

As the sun began to set, they said their goodbyes and parted ways. Tsukasa walked home, feeling content and happy after spending such a fun and enjoyable day with his friends.

As Tsukasa was walking around Konoha, he noticed Shizune struggling to carry a large box. "Do you need help with that?" he asked, approaching her.

Shizune was grateful for Tsukasa's offer and handed the box over to him. "Thank you so much, Tsukasa. Lady Tsunade will be pleased that this arrived on time," she said.

Tsukasa smiled and nodded. "No problem, happy to help," he replied.

As they arrived at Lady Tsunade's office, Tsukasa handed over the box to Shizune, who then brought it inside. Tsunade noticed Tsukasa and called him over.

"Tsukasa, good to see you," she said, patting him on the head. "You're always willing to lend a helping hand, just like your father."

Tsukasa smiled, feeling a warmth in his chest from her words. "Thank you, Lady Tsunade. It means a lot coming from you."

Shizune also gave Tsukasa a pat on the head and thanked him for his assistance. Tsukasa felt grateful for their appreciation.

After a short conversation with Tsunade and Shizune, they could see that Tsukasa was still dealing with the aftermath of his loss. They gave him some advice on how to cope with his feelings and told him that he was not alone. Tsunade hugged Tsukasa and Shizune followed suit, both showing their support for him.

Tsukasa felt a sense of comfort from their embrace and knew that he could always turn to them for help. As he left Lady Tsunade's office, he felt grateful for the two women who had shown him kindness and understanding.

As Takashi and the Phantom Division received their new mission from Pain, they swiftly moved to carry it out. They knew the traitors, Ken and Lucas, needed to be eliminated for the sake of the organization. They located the two men quickly and engaged them in battle.

The Phantom Division fought Ken and Lucas with all their might. They were quick and efficient in their movements, their skills honed from their years of training. Ken and Lucas were no match for them, and they soon found themselves being tied up and unable to move.

Takashi approached them with a calm and collected demeanor, his crystal release kekkai gekkei already active. He knew that this would be the end for Ken and Lucas, and he would not let them get away with their treachery.

Without a moment's hesitation, Takashi struck them with his kekkai gekkei. The two traitors were instantly immobilized, their bodies encased in a crystalline structure that left them unable to move or even breathe. Takashi's attack had ended their lives quickly and efficiently.

The Phantom Division moved out of the way, leaving Takashi to complete his task. With a swift motion, he shattered the crystalline structure, and Ken and Lucas were no more. The mission had been carried out, and Pain's orders had been fulfilled.

Takashi turned to his team, nodding his approval at their performance. He knew that they had all played a crucial role in completing the mission, and he was proud of them. He gave the signal to move out, and they vanished into the shadows, ready for their next task.

The scene opens with Jiraiya standing in front of the six paths of Pain, preparing for battle. Pain speaks, his voice echoing through the battlefield.

Pain: "Jiraiya, you are a powerful ninja. But you are no match for the six paths of Pain."

Jiraiya: "We'll see about that."

Jiraiya charges forward, launching a flurry of attacks at the six paths of Pain. But Pain easily deflects each blow, moving with lightning-fast speed. Jiraiya realizes that he is in trouble and tries to retreat, but the six paths of Pain move even faster, surrounding him on all sides.

Jiraiya: "This isn't good. I need to take them out one at a time."

Jiraiya begins to fight back with all his might, using his most powerful jutsu against the six paths of Pain. But they keep coming, relentless and unyielding. Finally, Jiraiya is overwhelmed and falls to the ground, exhausted and defeated.

Pain: "It is over. You fought bravely, but in the end, you were no match for us."

As the six paths of Pain turn to leave, Jiraiya uses the last of his strength to write a message in code on a scrap of paper. He entrusts it to one of the sage toads, instructing it to deliver the message to Tsunade and the others.

Jiraiya: "Take this to the hidden leaf village. They need to know about the leader of the akatsuki."

The sage toads quickly make their retreat, leaving the battlefield and heading back to the hidden leaf village with Jiraiya's message.

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was tense as the sage toads delivered the news of Jiraiya's death to Tsunade, Kakashi, Tsukasa, Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura. Tsunade's eyes welled up with tears as she tried to process the loss of her dear friend.

Kakashi stood silently, his face showing the pain he felt inside. Tsukasa's face was also solemn, but he remained composed. Naruto, on the other hand, was visibly upset. His fists clenched tightly as he struggled to hold back his tears.

"Why did he have to die like that?" Naruto asked, his voice trembling with emotion. "Why couldn't I have been there to save him?"

Tsukasa placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "Naruto, Jiraiya was a great shinobi. He knew the risks of his mission and he chose to go anyway. We should honor his sacrifice."

Naruto's eyes were filled with tears, but he nodded silently, understanding what Tsukasa was saying. The memory of Jiraiya's teachings and his time with him flooded Naruto's mind, and he couldn't hold back the tears any longer.

Tsunade spoke up, "We have to focus on the mission Jiraiya gave his life for. We need to find out who the leader of the Akatsuki is and put a stop to their plans. We owe it to Jiraiya."

Kakashi nodded in agreement, "Yes, we can't let Jiraiya's sacrifice be in vain. We need to act quickly and decisively."

The group exchanged a solemn nod, and they left the office, each lost in their own thoughts and emotions. The memory of Jiraiya would linger with them for a long time to come.

After receiving the news about Jiraiya's death, Tsunade, Kakashi, Tsukasa, Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura decided to make a plan to take down Pain and the Akatsuki. Tsukasa suggested that they investigate the origins of Pain and the Akatsuki, and see if they could find any weaknesses.

They split up to gather information and prepare for the upcoming battle. Tsukasa went to his family's old home in the abandoned village, hoping to find some clues about his clan's past and any connections they might have had to the Akatsuki. There, he discovered a hidden underground laboratory that his ancestors had used for research on their kekkei genkai.

While searching through the laboratory, Tsukasa found a secret room with an ancient scroll that contained a forbidden jutsu. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to take the scroll with him, hoping that he could use its power to help his friends in the battle against Pain.

Meanwhile, Naruto, with the help of his sage mode, discovered Pain's location and gathered his allies to confront him. They engaged in a brutal battle with the Six Paths of Pain, during which Tsukasa used the forbidden jutsu from the scroll to unleash a powerful attack that severely weakened Pain's defenses.

In the end, Naruto and the others were able to defeat Pain, and Tsukasa's forbidden jutsu proved to be a crucial factor in their victory. However, the battle had taken a toll on everyone, and they mourned the loss of Jiraiya and the other casualties of the war.

After the battle, Tsukasa decided to stay in the Hidden Leaf Village and use his knowledge to help his friends and protect the village. He was welcomed as a hero by the people and became an important figure in the rebuilding process after the war.

As for the Akatsuki, their plan was thwarted, and their remaining members went into hiding. However, Tsukasa suspected that they would be back, and he continued to train and prepare for the next inevitable battle.
