Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit

Nagato sighed and packed his things with a disappointed look on his face.

Although he became the minister of the Ministry of Construction, he took office mostly because the previous minister didn't want to do it anymore.

Nagato didn't know why at first, but now he seems to understand.

I'm afraid no matter what proposal is submitted here, the reply above will always be wait.

Of course, it is not without consent, but those newly built buildings or new residential areas, renovation of real estate, expansion of business circles and other proposals that are related to the development of the country but not that relevant were passed.

Nagato remembered that the previous minister once proposed that the Uzumaki Country build a temple to worship the past Hokages and kings of the Uzumaki Country, but it was naturally rejected.

Building a temple, and even refusing to let you worship together, what’s the point of doing this in this position? ! Can't you just say that I am a stamping machine? !

If you notify me, I can pass it, and I can't even refuse. If you don't notify me, I won't even dare to let out a fart.

What else is there to say? I’m quitting this bad guy!

Nagato sighed.

Sometimes being smart is not good either.

What it took his previous minister more than twenty years to figure out, he now understands.

Or...

Nagato sorted out the information and walked towards his house.

While walking on the road, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Oh! You are Nagato, right?"

Nagato was stunned, this name looked so familiar...

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man and woman walking towards him.

The middle-aged man's white hedgehog hair was pushed back and tied into a hedgehog braid.

The middle-aged woman was looking at him gently with a soft smile on her face. Her long, silky hair was tilted to one side. This kind of hair style was not something ordinary people could manage.

"Are you... Teacher Jiraiya?!" Nagato looked at the middle-aged couple in front of him in surprise.

Jiraiya looked at Nagato and touched the back of his head and laughed: "That's right! Look, I said Nagato won't forget me."

With that said, Jiraiya gestured to Nagato: "This is Himiko, your master's wife. Please call her master's wife."

Nagato quickly bent down and bowed: "Hello, Master!"

Himihu's eyes became softer.

Jiraiya laughed, then pointed to the hot pot restaurant nearby and said to Nagato: "Let's go, your master will treat you to hot pot today~"

Nagato thought for a moment and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but was involuntarily taken into the hot pot restaurant by Jiraiya.

Entering the hot pot restaurant, Jiraiya ordered a lot of things.

Nagato was horrified to see that today's meal would cost him one-tenth of his monthly salary.

Although the teacher pays...

"By the way, I see you looking worried today. Did something happen?"

Jiraiya looked at Nagato and asked casually.

Nagato looked at Jiraiya, thought for a moment and said, "Jiraiya-sensei... is from the Leaf Village, right..."

"You kid, have you forgotten all this? Your master, of course I am..." Jiraiya was just about to teach Nagato a lesson, but when he saw Nagato's expression turned ugly, Jiraiya suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Isn't that right? Did someone from Konoha Village bully you?"

But after thinking about it, Jiraiya shook his head and said: "That shouldn't be the case. I went to see Mito Monobu before. He said that the soldiers stationed in the Country of Whirlpool would not do anything outrageous... …”

Nagato pursed his lips and raised his head to look at Jiraiya and said: "Today... I told Lord Hokage of Konoha Village my request. I want to ask Lord Hokage to build a university in the Country of Whirlpool..."

Jiraiya blinked, and then said: "It's a good thing, um, so the Hokage refused? Maybe, he has his own considerations?"

Nagato looked at Jiraiya and asked: "Jiraiya-sensei, does he know what is the most important thing for a village?"

Jiraiya looked at Nagato in confusion: "What is it?"

Nagato took a deep breath and slowly raised his head: "It's history, it's culture, it's...education."

Jiraiya looked confused.

Himihu on the side lowered his head and fell into thought.

Nagato sighed, stood up and bowed to Jiraiya: "Thank you...for everything you have done for me..."

Then, Nagato left the hot pot restaurant.

Jiraiya was stunned for a minute, and then he said to Himiko in confusion: "My treat...he hasn't eaten yet?!"

Himiko chuckled and covered his mouth, then fed the cooked meat slices to Jiraiya...

Next day:

Nagato held a stack of notebooks in his hand and headed towards the government building of the Country of Whirlpool.

Here are the contents of the books he copied word for word with a pen on the fourth floor of the Konoha Library and brought back.

He knew that all his problems could be solved in the books he copied.

but……

He felt that he had reached a fork in the road.

He didn't know which way to go next.

Sighing, Nagato was not in a hurry, he still had a lot of time...

"Yo, Nagato."

A voice made Nagato look away.

Jiraiya held a two-lot popsicle in his hand, smiled and said to Nagato: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, how about we chat?"

Nagato pursed his lips, walked over, and took the popsicle Jiraiya handed him.

"Yesterday your wife told me that you, a child, should be hiding a lot of things in your heart."

Nagato took a bite of the popsicle and was about to speak when Jiraiya continued to add: "Of course, your master's wife also asked me to comfort you, but...

Your teacher, I never listen to your master's wife~"

Jiraiya grinned, then waved his hand and said to Nagato: "Today, your teacher, I will take you to a fun place!"

Nagato narrowed his eyes: "Teacher, you are married, don't go to that kind of place."

Jiraiya's body froze, and then he slapped Nagato's head gently: "What are you thinking about? Your teacher said I would take you to the game hall!"

Nagato looked confused: "I have been to the game hall many times, and I don't think it's fun."

Jiraiya pushed Nagato: "Let's go, let's go, your teacher, I will treat you."

But I was relieved in my heart. Damn it, if Nagato knew that I was really going to take him to that kind of place at the beginning, wouldn't my image as a master be completely ruined?

"..."

That day, Jiraiya and Nagato didn't talk about work, and Nagato didn't receive any punishment for being absent from work for a day. After all... in his position, it doesn't matter whether he is there or not.

What's more, it was Jiraiya who took Nagato away.

This guy...

Although he is married and has children now, he still behaves like a playboy.

Nagato actually had a lot of fun all day today.

As long as he doesn't think about work, or in other words, as long as he doesn't think about the country of whirlpools, Nagato feels that he can be happy forever, but...

How can he not think about it...

Sighing, Nagato was about to take a shower when his cell phone rang...

He answered the call and was a little surprised:

"Yahiko? Why is it you?"
