Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Hey, has anyone seen Jiraiya-sama in the camp?"

"Jiraiya-sama, you should also be looking for the group of people who call themselves 'Akatsuki' today, right?"

"Are you there again? Oops, even if the three main leaders of Akatsuki are all former disciples, Master Jiraiya's attitude towards them is a little too important, right? What if those guys from Iwagakure sneak around again? if……"

"Do you think the sentient ninjas here and the rain created by Akatsuki are just decorations? Just wait for Lord Jiraiya to come back."

In the camp of Konoha, the Konoha ninjas who could not find Jiraiya were chatting about such topics in twos and threes. However, in the temporary camp of "Akatsuki", Jiraiya faced his three disciples with an expression on his face. It was not as easy as the ninjas of Konoha expected.

"Is that so...Did you meet such a person in the process of searching for answers, Nagato?"

"Isn't that right? When Nagato just came back from the Land of Whirlpool, he suddenly started to focus on developing the ability of the Rinnegan, which shocked us all."

Yahiko glared at his friend sideways and said angrily:

"I thought Nagato had encountered something strange in the Country of Whirlpool, or was under the influence of a genjutsu. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was just deceived by someone's words and became a little dizzy..."

"Yahiko, I'm not the one who tried to convince Nagato but was convinced by him in turn, right?" Konan put down the half-folded flower in her hand, and bumped Yahiko lightly with her shoulder in a funny way, " If Nagato was in a dizzy state at that time, wouldn't you be worse than a dizzy person?"

"Hey, long-winded, I'm just, I'm just happy that Nagato has relieved his inner confusion, so I deliberately cooperate with him, that's all, right?"

Seeing Yahiko's tough mouth towards Konan, Nagato smiled happily, then looked at Jiraiya who had a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked in a calm tone:

"Jiraiya-sensei, don't you agree with the answer I found?"

"No, it's not that I don't agree with it," Jiraiya shook his head and sighed with some annoyance:

"I just can't help but think that if Nagato Gen really goes to the point of using his own power to prevent all wars from breaking out, the hawks in any country will probably list 'Akatsuki' as the first thing they need to eradicate. The goal, right? Wouldn’t it be too hard?”

"How can someone who wants to change the world do so easily, Mr. Jiraiya?"

Nagato pointed at his samsara eyes and clenched his fists with firm eyes.

"If the string called war remains taut, people will not turn their attention to areas other than war. And even if peace is maintained on the surface, as long as it lasts long enough, it can bring about changes within each village. Give birth to flowers that bloom only in peaceful times.

If the war continues, even if there are people in each country who long for peace, the long-term war will take away their imagination and creativity for peace and make them accustomed to war...

People who are bound and assimilated by war cannot create new policies and systems aimed entirely at peacetime rule like people who have lived in peace since childhood. "

"Well, to put it simply, even for people like us who grew up with Xiao Nan, when they see her folding paper, their first reaction is not that she is simply making a decoration, but I think she must be preparing a hidden weapon that looks like a paper flower."

Yahiko crossed his arms over his chest and said with some emotion:

"After Nagato said this to me, I realized that I had been assimilated by the war to a great extent. In order to help more people get relief from the cloud of war as soon as possible, so that they can taste it from the beginning Having grown up with the delicious taste of peace, I am still willing to give in to my ideals a little bit."

"Maybe we and Akatsuki can only be a bridge on the road to peace, but as long as the fruit called peace can be picked faster by people because of our efforts, the things we have paid will also be That’s meaningful enough.”

While the two teenagers were excitedly talking about their ideals, Konan just silently folded the paper flower with her deft hands, and then handed it to Jiraiya, who was deeply moved by the disciples' speeches. .

"I don't have as lofty ideals as Nagato and Yahiko, but I will always be by their side and take good care of these two reckless guys."

Jiraiya took Konan's paper flower, looked at the clear creases on it, then looked at the three disciples who had grown enough for him to trust them, and reluctantly pinned the paper flower to his chest. pocket, and then shook his head mockingly.

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

"Teacher, you can consider becoming Hokage."

Konan pointed to Jiraiya's forehead protector and said seriously:

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

"Haha, Xiaonan, please don't force yourself on others. I'm already so old. Why do I have the nerve to snatch Minato's position as Hokage?"

Jiraiya laughed. He originally wanted to introduce his other favorite disciple Minato Namikaze to Nagato and the three of them, but just when he was about to say it, he suddenly frowned and felt a little uncomfortable. He asked with great certainty:

"Wait a minute, Xiaonan... did you just say, 'There is one more Kage who is willing to support your career'?"

"Yes, Xiaonan did say that."

Nagato nodded and looked at Jiraiya sincerely, "Although at this moment, neither we, nor Jiraiya-sensei, nor that one, have truly reached the place where we should be. position, but it shouldn’t be too long before that day.”

"Want to join us, Jiraiya-sensei? If you, or your disciple Namikaze Minato, are willing to support us after becoming Hokage, then we can start implementing the peace plan faster."

An unknown and cold premonition grabbed Jiraiya's heart, and his body tensed up involuntarily, as if he had collided with a hungry venomous snake without any precautions. Like a frog that was so scared that he could barely move.

"Can you tell me the name of the other person who is about to become a Kage, Nagato?"

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

"This, Jiraiya-sensei, only after you agree to join us can we give you a clear answer."

Nagato spread his hands helplessly, "After all, that guy made some earth-shattering noises and then disappeared without a trace. Although I don't think he would die in such an inexplicable way, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Nagato suddenly stood up from his seat. First, he closed his eyes and used the Yutora Free Technique to sense the intruding target. Then, as if he had discovered something, his expression suddenly became relaxed again. Come down.

He turned his head and looked at Jiraiya who was also on guard, but he didn't know who he was guarding. He smiled and said:

"Jiraiya-sensei? Didn't you just ask me who the other Kage is who supports us?"

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

"real?"

The person who asked the question was not Jiraiya, but Yahiko who also looked surprised, "Hey, hey, Nagato, that guy named Rei Kaguya you mentioned, why did he suddenly come to us? Izumi Considering the troublesome situation Yin is facing, shouldn't he go back to Kirigakure first after escaping from nowhere?"

"If I go back directly, I will have to meet the Sandaime Tuqingdou. I'm afraid the troublesome things I have to deal with will be piled up as high as the sky. How can I still have the energy to take care of you who are far away in the Land of Rain?"

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

"Long time no see, Kaguya Rei."

"Well, long time no see, Nagato."

Kaguya Rei stretched out her hand and shook hands with Nagato who came forward. Then she turned her head and looked at Jiraiya who had bitten his finger and was using the psychic technique to summon the toad of Mt. Myoboku. He grinned. .

"This must be our first meeting. The sage who was entrusted with the prophecy by the great toad sage, the Sannin Jiraiya..."

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