The house was fully furnished, but there was no one, because the owner of the house had long since fled to where he had fled because of the effects of the war.
As a result, the room was unceremoniously requisitioned by Jiraiya.
"Let's sit down, we're going to live together in the future, let's have a good chat!"
Five people sat down around a round table.
"Don't be nervous! Everyone introduce themselves, I'll come first! My name is Jiraiya, and my hobby is a woman with a good figure and a beautiful face... Ahem, you kids probably don't understand... Well, I love to write books, and my dream is to write a super popular novel, and in the coming days, I will be with you, and we will live happily together! Well, you can call me big handsome guy... You can also call me Teacher... But you must not call me uncle, although I have gray hair, I am really young!"
Jiraiya is really a very friendly man, after saying this, Xiao Nan and Yahiko smiled slightly, and even Nagato was a little more relaxed.
"Jiraiya-sensei," Yahiko muttered softly.
"Actually, I prefer the title of handsome guy... Ha ha... Well, the teacher is the teacher! Boy, you can also introduce yourself!"
"My name is Yahiko, my interest is to learn ninjutsu, and my dream is to learn ninjutsu, go to the top, no longer have to suffer, what do I want, change everything that makes me unhappy, and protect everything I want to protect!"
Yahiko said passionately.
Jiraiya smiled and nodded: "It's a big dream, and it's very imposing, Yahiko, you have the potential to become a big shot!"
"Why... Hehe..."Being praised like this, Yahiko was so happy that he couldn't touch the north.
"What about you, red-haired boy?"
"I..."
Nagato secretly glanced at Jiraiya, who was smiling, and then immediately lowered his head, his expression hidden in his long bangs, and said weakly.
"My name is Nagato, interested... The interest is to be with everyone. Dream... Well, there is no war, always with everyone. β
"What a kind boy!"
Hearing Jiraiya's compliment, Nagato lowered his head.
"And what about you, the little blue-haired girl of kawaii?"
Even if she was praised by such an old pervert as Jiraiya, she would not be happy to say it.
Xiao Nan's face flushed slightly, and he introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Nan, my interest is origami, and my dream is to be happy with everyone all the time." β
Konan has been obsessed with origami since he was untied by Sakaki that night, and he doesn't mind revealing the secret that his body can be turned into paper in front of Nagato and Yahiko.
Sure enough, after Yahiko and Nagato saw that Xiao Nan's body could be turned into paper, not only were they not afraid, but they were full of surprise and envy for Xiao Nan's ability!
"Origami??It's a good interest.,It's a good match for a kawaii girl like Xiaonan.,Can you give the teacher a piece of work?"
Jiraiya's affinity is extremely strong, Xiao Nan is very willing to give Jiraiya an origami, but she is a little knotted about showing her ability in front of outsiders, and can't help but look at Yahiko and them, after getting the other party's nod and encouragement, Xiao Nan rubbed his face, conjured up a blank paper, and then began to fold it.
Zilai was also slightly surprised: this is the blood inheritance limit!
"For you!"
Zilai also carefully took the roses folded by Xiao Nan and praised: "What a beautiful rose, your origami skills are excellent!"
"Thank you~ This is what Sakaki taught me to fold!"
"Sakaki taught you... Do you like a boy who likes origami? Such a boy is usually very delicate in his heart. β
Jiraiya took the opportunity to look at Sakaki and said with a smile.
"If coarse equals stupidity, then you can say the same!" Sakaki smiled back, and then introduced himself very succinctly, "Sakaki, his current interest is to learn ninjutsu knowledge, and the target is a woman!"
"A woman?"
If it was an adult who said this, then the lustful fairy would have cooperated with a lewd smile, but it was a child who said this.
"Mother, sister, relatives?"
"Don't guess, it's just a stinky woman who makes me feel very uncomfortable when I think about it!
"Ninjutsu knowledge... Don't worry, let's get along for a while!
"Let's wait until you teach me ninjutsu knowledge!"
It took many days.
Jiraiya's affinity is really extraordinary, and his smile is completely different from Sakaki's kind of smile that makes people confused and full of distance, and it is very, very contagious, and people can't help but smile.
In a short period of time, Yahiko and Konan began to get very close to Jiraiya, and really regarded him as a teacher, and seemed very relaxed around him, laughing and laughing.
Because his parents were killed by the Konoha ninja, Nagato naturally had a bad feeling for the Konoha ninja. But even though he hated Jiraiya at first, after a period of time together, he slowly distinguished Jiraiya from the hateful Konoha ninjas in his mind, and even slowly accepted and approached Jiraiya from his heart.
Only Sakaki should eat, drink, and do whatever it should do, and it is still the same appearance that is smiling all the time and difficult to guess.
With Jiraiya's help, Yahiko and the others naturally don't need to rely on stealing to survive.
Of course, the so-called help from Zilai is not to give them a sum of money, so that they can spend it vigorously, buy delicious and fun food, and live a 'happy' life from now on, which is inevitably too low.
How to catch small beasts... How to identify edible wild vegetables... How to make a fishing rod... Which kind of bait is better for fishing, etc., etc.
Zilai is also sincerely teaching a few people the ability to stand on their own feet, and teaching them in fun, so that they can enjoy it.
The only problem is that Jiraiya doesn't mean to teach them ninjutsu at all.
Another night.
Today I caught a big fish, and the four of us were excited to eat.
"As long as you use the fire, you can eat grilled fish in one go... Hahaha... Sakaki you can't eat delicious grilled fish, it's a shame!"
Jiraiya grinned, after so many days of getting along, it was impossible for him to think about some things about Sakaki.
"Don't worry about Sakaki, this guy's non-hungry physique has made me envious for a long time, and now it's time for this guy to watch me eat grilled fish with envy!"
Yahiko said happily, took a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it deliciously.
"Teacher, I have memorized the trick of fishing, and I will be in charge of fishing in the future, and I will catch big and delicious fish for everyone. β
"Oh, I'm very confident, then I'll leave the fishing matter to Yahiko, you'll be in charge!"
Woo... Woo......
A slight sobbing sound sounded at the table that was shrouded in laughter, and it was Nagato who was crying again, and the scene in front of him reminded him of his family, and if his family was still there, he must have been laughing and laughing with them sitting around the table.
"Nagato, what's wrong?"
"I think of my family, so I ......"
Syllable!
Yahiko slapped the table heavily, interrupting Nagato's words and scolding.
"Nagato, don't cry, you're a man! That's why the men of the Land of Rain are considered weak and incompetent, and the country has fallen to such a miserable state!"
"The three major countries that surround the Land of Rain are also in a bad situation right now, so this war probably won't last long. β
A gloom full of guilt appeared on Jiraiya's face, and he smiled hopefully.
"When you grow up, there will be mutual understanding between nations and even between people, and there will be peace here......
"That's just wishful thinking!"
Yahiko interrupted Jiraiya's words heavily, the bad experience he had been hauling had accumulated a lot of negative emotions, and when he heard Jiraiya's 'naΓ―ve' words at this moment, the accumulated negative emotions suddenly burst out, and he said sharply.
"Our families have all been killed, and if we want to understand each other, we must at least let each other taste the same pain. Only by sharing pain in this way can we understand each other!"
"However, I knew that it was impossible, so the war could not be stopped!"
The original sharp momentum on Yahiko's face faded, revealing a firmness that truly came from his heart.
"I hate the rain, this country cries all the time, it's a coward, I want to change this country and protect everyone. So Jiraiya-sensei, please let us practice ninjutsu!"
However, Jiraiya did not respond to Yahiko's request to learn ninjutsu.
