"Hey, did anyone see Jiraiya-sama in the camp?"

"If you are a lady of Jiraiya, you should be looking for the group of people who call themselves 'Xiao' today, right?"

"Gone again? Ouch, even if the three main leaders of 'Xiao' are all former disciples, the attitude of Lord Jiraiya towards them must be a little too high, right? If those guys from Iwakure sneak around again......"

"Do you think that the sentient ninjas on our side and the rain caused by 'Akatsuki' are all decorations? Just wait for the adults to come back. ”

In Konoha's camp, the Konoha ninjas who couldn't find Jiraiya were chatting about such topics in twos and threes, but in the temporary camp of "Xiao", Jiraiya faced his three disciples, but his expression was not as relaxed as the ninjas of Konoha expected.

"That's right...... Nagato: In your search for answers, did you meet such a person? ”

"Isn't it, when Nagato just came back from the Vortex Country, he suddenly started to bury his head in developing the ability of the Reincarnation Eye, which scared us all."

Yahiko squinted and glared at his friend, and said angrily:

"I thought Nagato had encountered something strange over there in the country of Vortex, or someone had tricked him into an illusion, but he didn't expect that he was just a little dizzy with words......"

"Yahiko, the one who tried to convince Nagato but was persuaded by him in turn wasn't me?" Xiao Nan put down the half-folded flower in his hand, and gently bumped Yahiko with his shoulder with some amusement, "If Nagato's state at that time was dizzy, then aren't you even dizzy?" ”

"Hello, verbose, I'm just, I'm just happy that Nagato has relieved his inner confusion, so I deliberately cooperated with him, that's all?"

Seeing Yahiko's hard mouth at Konan, Nagato smiled very gratifyingly, then looked at Jiraiya, who was having a contemplative expression, and asked in a calm tone:

"Mr. Jiraiya, do you disagree with the answer I found?"

"No, not to the point of disapproval," Jiraiya shook his head and sighed a little annoyedly:

"I just can't help but think, if Nagato, you really get to the point where you can stop all wars with your own strength, no matter which country the hawks are, they should list 'Akatsuki' as the first target they need to eradicate, right? Wouldn't it be too hard to do that? ”

"How can people who want to change the world be so easy, Mr. Jiraiya?"

Nagato pointed to his reincarnation eyes, his gaze firmly clenched into a fist.

"If the strings of war are tightened all the time, people will not look beyond war, but even if they only maintain a superficial peace, if it lasts long enough, it will be able to give birth to flowers that bloom only in times of peace.

If the war continues, even if there are people in each country who yearn for peace, a protracted war will rob them of their imagination and creativity for peace, and make them become accustomed to war......

Those who have been bound and assimilated by war will not be able to create new policies and institutions that are entirely aimed at peacetime rule, as people who have lived in peace since childhood. ”

"Hawkers, to put it simply, even people like us who grew up with Xiao Nan since childhood, when they see her origami, their first reaction will not be that she is just making a decoration, but that she must be preparing a secret weapon in the shape of a paper flower."

Yahiko clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with some emotion:

"After Nagato told me this, I realized that I had been assimilated by the war, and in order to free more people from the clouds of war as soon as possible, so that they could grow up with the taste of peace from the beginning, I am still willing to do this kind of thing as giving in a little bit of idealism."

"Maybe we and 'Xiao' can only be a bridge on the road to peace, but as long as the fruits of peace can be picked up faster because of our efforts, these things we have paid will have enough meaning."

When the two teenagers were emotionally talking about their ideals, Xiao Nan just silently folded the paper flower with his dexterous hands, and then handed it to Jiraiya, who was full of emotion because of the disciples' speeches.

"I don't have the same lofty ideals as Nagato and Yahiko, but I'll always be there for them and take care of the two of them."

Jiraiya took Xiao Nan's paper flower, looked at the clear creases on it, and then looked at the three disciples who had grown enough to make himself believe in them, and helplessly pinned the paper flower to the pocket of his chest, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"What, I don't know how to work for peace now, isn't I the only one left as a teacher?"

"Sensei can consider becoming the Hokage."

Xiao Nan pointed to Jiraiya's forehead guard and said very seriously:

"If Jiraiya-sensei becomes the Hokage, there will be one more Kage who is willing to stand behind us and support our cause......"

"Haha, Xiao Nan, don't be strong, I'm an old man, why are I embarrassed to grab the position of the Hokage of the Water Gate?"

Jilai also snorted, thinking of introducing his other proud disciple Bo Feng Shuimen to the three of Nagato, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned, and asked with some uncertainty:

"Wait, Xiao Nan...... Didn't you just say, 'There is one more shadow who is willing to support your cause'? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what Xiao Nan said."

Nagato nodded, looking at Jiraiya sincerely, "Although at this moment, whether it is us, Jiraiya Sensei, or that one, we have not really reached the position where we should be, but it shouldn't be too long before that day." ”

"Would you like to join us, Jiraiya-sensei? If you, or that disciple of yours, Bo Feng Shuimon, are willing to support us after becoming Hokage, then we can begin to implement the peace plan sooner. ”

An ominous and cold premonition gripped Jiraiya's heart, and his body tensed involuntarily, like a frog that had collided with a hungry snake in an unsuspecting situation, and was so frightened that he could barely move.

"Can you tell me the name of the other soon-to-be Shadow man, Nagato?"

Looking at the three disciples in front of him with firm eyes and sincere expressions, Jiraiya took a deep breath, tried to suppress his emotions that had become a little stiff due to uneasiness, and slowly asked.

"This, you have to agree to join us, Mr. Jiraiya, before we can give you a clear answer."

Nagato spread his hands a little helplessly, "After all, that guy disappeared silently after making an earth-shattering noise, although I don't think he would die so inexplicably, but ......"

Before the words fell, Nagato stood up from his seat suddenly, first closed his eyes and used the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique to sense the target who broke in, and then as if he had discovered something, his expression suddenly relaxed again.

He turned his head and looked at Jiraiya, who was also on guard, but didn't know who he was guarding against, and said with a smile:

"Jiraiya-sensei? Didn't you just ask me who the other shadow who supported us was? ”

"That guy seems to be nearby, why don't you let him come over and meet you up and have a chat."

"Really?"

It wasn't Jiraiya who asked, but Yahiko, who also looked surprised, "Hey, hey, Nagato, that guy named Kaguya Ren you said, why did he suddenly come to us?" Judging from the troublesome situation that Wuyin is facing now, shouldn't he go back to Wuyin first after he got out of trouble from somewhere? ”

"If I go back directly, I'm going to meet with the third generation of Mu Tu, and I'm afraid that the troublesome things I have to deal with will not be piled up higher than the sky, how can I have the energy to take care of you who are far away in the country of rain?"

A tall, thin figure wearing a loose white robe and waist-length black hair walked briskly through the rain outside the camp and into the room where Nagato and the others were.

"Long time no see, Kaguya."

"Well, long time no see, Nagato."

Kaguya Ren stretched out her hand and shook it with Nagato, who came forward, then turned her head and grinned at Jiraiya, who had bitten her finger and was using psychic techniques to summon the Toad of Myoki Mountain.

"This should be our first meeting, the immortal who was entrusted with the prophecy by the big toad immortal, and the three ninja ...... also come to "

In Kaguya's purple eyes, the snake-like vertical pupils were staring closely at Jiraiya and the figures of the two toads that suddenly appeared on his shoulders.
