After ending the conversation with Sanshoyu Hanzo, because of this meeting, it was only a verbal alliance. In order to ensure the reliability of the alliance, it was necessary to find another time to formally sign the alliance, so Yahiko and Sanshoyu Hanzo led their men to part ways and return to their respective stations.

"Whew, I'm finally back, I'm really scared to death today......"

And after returning to the base and letting the members of the Akatsuki organization disband on the spot for free activities, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato walked down the winding stairs to the room that belonged to the three of them unhurriedly. Even Yahiko, who was alone with his partner and no longer had to deliberately maintain the serious image of the leader, was like a deflated ball, and while deliberately walking forward weakly, he complained to his partner next to him in that pitiful tone.

"I really want to get back to my room and sleep comfortably——!"

"Less, in your heart at this time, most of you are very happy because Sanshoyu Hanzo can no longer ignore the existence of our organization and take the initiative to propose an alliance, right?"

At the same time, seeing that no matter how many events his best friend has experienced, in front of himself and Xiao Nan, he will always be the most familiar image in his impression, which makes the smile on the corner of Nagato's mouth more and more obvious. Immediately, while making an angry joke and piercing Yahiko's exaggerated acting skills, he stretched out his hand and handed the kettle full of water to Yahiko's eyes.

"In this state, you haven't been in the heavy rain, running downstairs for several laps, it's already very good, where can you still sleep?"

"Hey, hey, I can't hide it from you...... Thanks, Nagato! ”

Yahiko, who is used to getting along with Nagato, naturally doesn't care about the ridicule of his best friend's heart. Even unceremoniously took Nagato's kettle, and poured it into his mouth in a big gulp, relieving the discomfort of dry mouth caused by a long conversation, Yahiko bent his eyes and laughed, revealing the playful appearance that gradually changed to instinctual habits after meeting Naruto and Jiraiya as a child. With his free other hand, he counted the words that came out of his mouth.

"Hmph, with Sanshoyu Hanzo as a guarantor, we can visit the three major countries as a neutral force for a legitimate reason! When the time comes, I don't say whether I can succeed or not, but at least I have a chance, I can see Jiraiya-sensei again, and maybe even meet Naruto's brother and them in Konoha Village...... In other words, we are a big step forward from our dreams! How can you not be happy! ”

"That's true, but don't you know how to control it?"

Maybe it was when he was a child, influenced by Naruto's party. Or the frog squad trio, which is another "seventh class" in a similar situation but with a different ending, makes the way Nagato and Yahiko get along with each other, and unconsciously, gradually approaching the state of Naruto and Sasuke. And when he saw that Yahiko still had the strength to gesture his hands and fantasize about reuniting with Jiraiya and others with anticipation, Nagato, who was sure that his best friend still had the strength to recover quickly, was secretly relieved and teased in a serious way.

"Look at the way you smirk...... Let the teachers see it, I'm afraid it's not to be misunderstood, you haven't grown at all in the past few years~"

"Who...... Who said I didn't grow! You see, the Xiao organization that we created together, and even Sanshoyu Hanzo has to be polite, isn't it the best proof of growth! ”

At the same time, although he knew that his best friend was joking, because he had already guessed that Naruto and his party were mostly special beings who had traveled through time, which meant that Yahiko, who could appear next to him anytime and anywhere, was like a frightened rabbit, and while retorting with dissatisfaction, he hurriedly moved his gaze and looked around to determine whether the scene he had just been too angry about was seen by Naruto and his party. Immediately, after confirming that Naruto and his party did not reappear again as usual, and their eyes were slightly dimmed with disappointment, his tone slowly returned to a serious appearance, and he seriously thought about the next course of action.

"What's more, I didn't really go to Konoha Ninja Village first just to see Jiraiya and teach them again...... As you know, although there are inevitably some scum, the overall reputation of Konoha Ninja Village is that among the three major ninja villages, it is more of a gentle and friendly type. ”

"Therefore, if you want to convince the three major powers to give up the idea of war, starting with the Konoha Ninja Village and starting with simplicity is undoubtedly the most reasonable choice...... After all, we may indeed have a certain right to speak in Yuyin Village, but for the three major powers, it is still too small. Under this premise, if we want to achieve the ideal of a peaceful end to war without the use of force, we must have the support of a reliable ally as soon as possible, right? ”

It's just that as soon as Yahiko's words fell, before Yahiko could add anything, or Nagato echoed it, Xiao Nan, who watched the daily bickering between the two helplessly, took over the conversation and confided what Yahiko thought in a concise and concise manner. Immediately, he crossed his hands on his waist and faced Xiao Nan, who was robbed of his lines by Xiao Nan, and didn't know what to say, Nagato and Yahiko, who were staring at Xiao Nan with embarrassed eyes, only paused slightly, and continued to joke angrily.

"I don't know how many times this topic has been discussed, aren't you tired of it? Anyway, there is still some preparation time before the official departure, so you two, let's use your smart brains to think about what we will eat for dinner today. ”

"Hah...... Hahaha......"

"Say...... And that's ......."

Of course, as the only woman in the three-person team, Xiao Nan not only showed no signs of being inferior to either Yahiko or Nagato in terms of aura. Even because Xiao Nan is in charge of managing housekeeping—to put it more colloquially, he is in charge of the "power" of the kitchen—so that when they get along privately on weekdays, no matter how fiercely Yahiko and Nagato argue with each other, as long as Xiao Nan speaks, he has to obediently admit to relent.

After all, for Yahiko and Nagato, who are not good at cooking, offending Xiaonan is tantamount to finding guilt for their stomachs! And then under the truth that people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal and get hungry, Yahiko and Nagato, who have never quarreled in a real sense since the day they met, are naturally driven by a full desire to survive, even if they don't confirm each other's eyes, they can decisively bow their heads at the same time, and obediently choose to listen to Xiaonan's arrangement.

"Ahem, in short, this kind of meaningless conversation, let's stop here, Nagato ......" 202 eBook

"Anyway, I want to eat grilled crabs tonight, what about you?"
