"Self-...... My lord. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" paused, Makoto bowed slightly, and didn't seem surprised by Jiraiya's sudden appearance.

"Excuse me...... Jiraiya waved his hand angrily, and sat down next to the sofa Yahiko with a big grin: "Mizumon asked you instead of coming to see Yahiko in person, just to avoid me, right?" ”

Makoto smiled, not denying it.

"What? Am I wrong? ”

If a young man like Mizuto showed such an expression, Jiraiya would only think that they were young and rich in their own ideas, but when he saw it in Makoto Uchiha, Jiraiya felt unspeakably uneasy.

"No...... Do you mean our actions against Hanzo, or do you mean avoiding you? Makoto is still polite, but what he said made Jiraiya angry for a while.

"You brat...... All of them, of course. ”

"Yes, your guess is not wrong." Makoto readily admitted.

"Wait, what do you mean by 'action against Hanzo'?" Sensing something keenly, Xiao Nan asked with a delicate brow and a somewhat wary tone.

"It's literal, otherwise why do you think I'm rushing to the Land of Rain, and the 'twin stars' of Konoha are out together, this is something that has never happened before."

Jiraiya replied.

"To the 'demigod'? It's really like your style...... But let's put this down for now. Pushing away the arm that Jiraiya put on his shoulder, Yahiko said with a cold face: "I said old pervert, I thought you finally remembered that you still have three poor apprentices in the Land of Rain, so you came to visit them." ”

"You idiot little ghost!" Jiraiya looked angry, but his exaggerated acting skills exposed his weakness: "Is it talking about this time now?" That's Hanzo! The leader of your ninja in the land of rain is a matter of life and death, what do you mean by 'let this go first'! ”

"In fact, what you call the leader of our ninjas in the Land of Rain has always been hostile to us." When Xiao Nan didn't smile, his ice-clear eyes seemed to be spraying cold.

Jiraiya secretly complained, and before he could say anything, he heard Nagato's deep voice behind him: "So, Mr. Jiraiya, you came today to reconcile the relationship between the Ninja Revolution Association and Hanzo?" After all, he has a merciful kindness to you. ”

The white-haired man looked back at the disciple behind him, and suddenly he was a little speechless.

If the changes of Yahiko and Xiao Nan can be regarded as a gratifying growth, the owner of the reincarnation eye behind him, who was the most silent and had the most high hopes for him, now has a strong breathless breath of blood and fire on his body, which has made him feel heartache as a master.

The former Nagato, although his personality is gloomy and silent, but the friendliness on the outside is even a little cowardly, which everyone can see.

And now, he is like a depressed volcano, a beast covered in some skin, gloomy and cold, pregnant with suffocating terrifying power.

"No, Hanzo or something, it has nothing to do with me." Jiraiya said quietly: "All I care about is your growth." ”

He turned his head and looked at Makoto with the same gaze: "Including you, Makoto, you and Watergate, your growth, and the conflict between you, is the reason why I rushed here. ”

Makoto was a little moved for a while.

Although there is no communication between Makoto and Jiraiya, and even the two people's understanding of each other's paths can be said to be very different due to their personalities and positions, but at this time, Jiraiya does regard him as some kind of important existence along with his disciples such as Mizumon, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.

Although Makoto also knows that for Jiraiya, the so-called importance of Makoto and Watergate and others are two different "important".

"Hey," Yahiko pouted: "Don't think that saying two good words will make us forgive you, Xiao Nan's personal cooking has been canceled tonight, if you want to eat the specialty dishes that Xiao Nan has learned in the past few years, it depends on your future performance, right, Xiao Nan." ”

Xiao Nan covered his mouth and nodded with a smile.

The coldness on Nagato's body seemed to have faded a little, but unlike the harmony of the three of them, the air between Jiraiya and Makoto was still stiff as solidified cement.

Jiraiya looked into Makoto's eyes and said earnestly word by word: "Makoto, you just asked, 'Can knowing pain bring peace?'

"Yes, as long as we never give up our efforts, I believe that people understand each other and that an era of peace will surely be brought."

It's a declaration of sunshine and enthusiasm, but sincerity is untouched.

Jiraiya said sincerely: "Makoto, I want to know what you think. ”

After being silent for a while, Makoto looked up at Jiraiya, as well as Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

"Sanshoyu Hanzo, this person, who was buried in the Sansho poison bag when he was a child, had the ambition to devote himself to peace in the ninja world when he was young, and when he reached the prime of life, he became a hero who could calm the side and balance the wrestling power of the five powers."

Although it seemed to be something unrelated to the original topic, several people present listened patiently.

"A few years ago, Sanshoyu Hanzo, as the leader of the rain ninja, was a die-hard representative of the wary of the development of railways, representing the northern forces of the Land of Rain, and opposing the commercial reform of the south, but recently, he has started to contact the village, hoping to join the industrial system of the Land of Fire."

"We have analyzed, Sanshoyu Hanzo's life, is an active or passive, constantly being changed and assimilated by this cruel ninja world, although he has an extremely outstanding strength among ninjas, but because he was born in a small ninja village, and has to change his position and position all the time, in the gap between several big countries to survive."

"As the top powerhouse in the ninja world, his helplessness can be described as the helplessness shared by most ninjas in the ninja world, and he is the most special but typical representative of many ninjas in the ninja world who are constantly changing themselves in order to adapt to the outside world."

"Yes, having their own ideals and needs, but having to constantly change themselves with the changes in the outside world, this is the status quo of most ninjas."

Makoto glanced at Jiraiya, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "To Jiraiya-sama, what kind of person is a ninja?" ”

Not dissatisfied with being a Makoto teaching tool, Jiraiya replied seriously: "In my heart, a true ninja does not mean how powerful he is, but a person who can endure silently no matter what kind of pain and difficulties he encounters, or what kind of 'change' he encounters, and he is a person who has the greatest perseverance and can never give up his efforts." ”

"So, what kind of approach should be taken, and how should we work hard?"

After a pause, Jiraiya replied, "Unfortunately, I don't know, but I believe that only such a ninja can bring about a change in this cruel world." ”

Makoto said calmly:

"'If you can't change the world, just change yourself.'"

Although I am very confused and don't know what to do, I can't go wrong with patience and never give up. ’

It's a warm-sounding chicken soup for the soul, but it's ultimately limited. ”

Perhaps the most respected teacher was criticized, Yahiko couldn't help but ask, "So, Makoto do you know what to do?" ”

"A ninja is a person who is full of perseverance and can endure, and that is a great statement indeed." Ignoring the audience's expressions, Makoto continued, "However, even if you endure the pain a thousand times, there is no point at all, and you can only make a change if you contain it and eat it like an ore. ”

"You say this because you don't know what real pain is!" Nagato gritted his teeth, his perfectly patterned eyes peeking out from under the red hair, and the powerful force that breathed heavally in his seemingly thin body seemed to make the whole room tremble slightly.

Makoto's gaze was still as calm as ever: "Nagato, you are too weak now-you see, you are even afraid of your own strength, so you can't exert your own strength. ”

"Makoto!"

"Nagato."

Jiraiya and Xiao Nan spoke together, the difference was that Jiraiya's tone was stern, while Xiao Nan gently hugged Nagato from behind: "Calm down, Yahiko and I are here." ”

"As I said, the so-called 'change yourself' and 'silent patience' are just chicken soup-like things, if you don't chew the painful bones little by little and swallow them into your stomach, and drink the leftover and filtered soup of others, how can you really grow?"

Yahiko's expression was complicated: "Face the reality, we also understand this truth." ”

"It's not just that," Makoto looked at Yahiko, and his tone was a little lower: "Recognize the reality, analyze the problem, find a way, and make a plan...... There are so many things that need to be done to make a real change, not that you don't need to change yourself and endure hard work, but that you need more than that. ”

Jiraiya was silent, Xiao Nan comforted Nagato, and at this time it was only the time for Yahiko, the leader, to stand up: "Can we really do such a complicated thing?" ”

"That's why Watergate and I established the organization 'Ninja Revolution Association'."

Makoto replied.

"It's time." Makoto glanced out the window, as if judging the time from something, he faced Jiraiya and Yahiko, and bowed lightly but sincerely: "Jiraiya-sama, Yahiko-sama, the Ninja Revolution Association welcomes the two of you to join us at any time and work together to change this cruel world." ”

"Changing oneself does not change the world, and silent patience does not change the world. The only thing that can change the world is the act of 'changing the world' itself. ”

Like an iron weapon, Makoto raised his head and said clearly word by word:

"If, after some thought, the two of you still can't agree with our path."

"Please settle in your place and watch us take concrete actions to bring true peace to this world!"

The Uchiha youth took a step backwards, slammed into the wall behind him, and fell while standing.

In the sound of wind and rain, Yahiko smiled bitterly, and in Konan's worried gaze, Nagato seemed to have returned to that rainy night many years ago.

The memory of his parents' death in front of his eyes has always haunted Nagato like an untouchable festering wound.

Surrounded by several teachers and friends who were not relatives but loved ones, he asked in an imperceptible voice: "Chewing pain, can this kind of thing really be done?" ”

Outside the window, the loud sirens representing the attack on the Rain Ninja Village pierced through the heavy rain curtain, and several people in the house were silent for a while.
