Konoha's strongest bug

Chapter 17 Growth
"I decided to teach you ninjutsu!"

A few days later, when Yahiko and Nagato recovered, Jiraiya announced the news to them.

Hearing this, Yahiko suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Really?"

"Ok!"

Jilai also nodded and gave his reasons.

"Just like before, I don't know when your lives will be in danger, so I want to teach you ninjutsu to protect yourself!"

"awesome!"

Yahiko jumped up happily, but Nagato beside him was not in high spirits and had no expression on his face.

At this time, Yahiko suddenly turned around, smiled and spread his hands towards him.

"Thank you for saving me last time, Nagato, I was wrong to call you a coward. If anything happens again in the future, it will be my turn to protect you!"

"Thank... Thank you, Yahiko!" Nagato said while lowering his head.

On the other hand, Konan laughed: "Eh? But compared to Yahiko, Nagato seems to be stronger!"

"Uh……"

Yahiko, who was dismantled, couldn't help but hold his fists in defense.

"I will become stronger through practice in the future, Xiao Nan talks too much nonsense!"

"I think Xiao Nan is right!"

Younv Zhigao sat aside and gently pushed his sunglasses with his middle finger.

"People like Nagato and Konan can be called geniuses even in Konoha, where there are many talents. As for Yahiko, you..."

Having said that, he immediately pointed at Yahiko.

"You are called the tail of the crane. Don't try to surpass geniuses. When you are in danger, just hide and shout 'Nagato, Xiaonan, help', and that's it!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Yuu Zhigao's words, Xiaonan was the first to burst out laughing, and Nagato couldn't help shaking his shoulders a few times.

Seeing that Yahiko's face was a bit uneasy, Jiraiya interrupted them quickly.

"Okay, Zhigao, don't tease Yahiko anymore, it's time for us to start cultivating, so let's start chakra creation first!"

"Yes, teacher!" Yahiko and Xiaonan responded in unison.

……

Night fell quickly.

After a day of training, after dinner, Yahiko and Xiaonan soon fell asleep.

And Younv Zhigao is not too sleepy because she has been sleeping during the day and has not participated in their cultivation.

Suddenly he heard a slight noise coming from his side, he slightly opened his eyes and found that it was Yahiko who got up from the bed and walked towards the door.

Soon, there was a faint sobbing sound from outside the door, mixed with the sound of rain, if you don't pay attention, you can't hear it at all.

Younv Zhigao raised her eyebrows, then got up from the bed, put on a coat and went out.

When I went outside, I found that Nagato was sitting at the door and crying.

Nagato at this moment, it is difficult to connect him with the emotionless Payne in the original plot.

"If only this guy could always be this simple!"

Yunu Zhigao said something secretly in his heart, then walked to Nagato's side and sat down, at the same time put his arms around his shoulders.

"Nagato, tell me something sad, let me hear it, I'm worried about you when you look like this!"

"Chigo..."

Hearing Aurome Shidaka's words of concern, Nagato was a little moved, then rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"At that time... Yahiko was injured, I was very angry, my mind went blank, and I entered a state of ecstasy. When I recovered, the other party had already collapsed..."

Having said that, he sobbed again.

"After that, I felt very scared. Because of hatred, I lost myself and gave the other party...I didn't do it right? Actually, there should be a better way..."

"No, Nagato, I don't think you did anything wrong!"

Seeing Nagato who became a little emotional, Yume Shigao interrupted him directly.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside, and opened his mouth in a somewhat helpless tone.

"How can there be a better way? People are in troubled times and cannot help themselves. They either fight or flee. If you hadn't done that at that time, Nagato, I'm afraid Yahiko would have left us forever!"

Having said that, he smiled and patted Nagato on the shoulder.

"Good job, Nagato, you saved Yahiko and protected your friend!"

"Zhigao..." Nagato looked at Younv Zhigao in a daze, and finally uttered two words, "Thank you!"

Younv Zhigao grinned: "Hey, no thanks!"

At this time, a burst of light laughter sounded behind the two of them.

"Hehe, Zhigao is more and more able to comfort people, um, finally he looks like a senior brother, very good!"

"Uh……"

Younv Zhigao looked up and found that it was Jiraiya, so she quickly called out: "Teacher!"

"Ok!"

Jiraiya nodded, then walked to Yahiko's side and sat down, and put his hand on his shoulder lightly.

"Zhigao is right, Yahiko was saved because of you, so what you did was correct, and no one will blame you!"

Speaking of this, Zilai also slowly restrained his smile, and a little more emotion appeared on his face.

"This person, once he is hurt, he will have hatred. On the contrary, after hurting others, he will be hated by others, and he will feel guilty in his heart. However, because he knows the pain, he knows how to be gentle with others. It's human!"

He spoke a little profoundly, but Nagato didn't quite understand, so he asked, "What... does this mean?"

"It means you've grown up!" Ji Lai also laughed.

"Growing... what do you mean?" Nagato asked with doubts.

"Just being able to judge right from wrong!" Jiraiya answered patiently.

Hearing this, Nagato buried his head in his knees again, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Yahiko helped Xiaonan and I when we were hungry and crying, and even stole other people's food. I just want to protect the two of them, even if I feel any pain."

After talking about himself, Nagato turned to Jiraiya and asked: "Teacher... what have you been thinking about?"

Zilai also answered him immediately.

"This world is full of wars and hatred everywhere. I want to change this situation. What is the so-called peace? I also want to find the answer!"

After listening to Jiraiya's answer, Nagato turned his head to Yume Shidaka on the other side.

"Where is Zhigao? What are you usually thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how to live."

Younuzhi shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm not the protagonist of this world, and I can't change the world, so I just want to live well, and it's best to let the people I care about survive, so that when peace comes, at least I won't be too lonely."

"But will peace really come?" Nagato asked with some doubts.

"meeting!"

Younv Zhigao nodded seriously.

"Maybe at that time we are all old, our hair is gray and our skin is wrinkled, but I firmly believe that real peace will come!"

"..."

Seeing Yume Zhigao's firm belief, Nagato was a little moved.

However, just when he was about to say something, he found that Younv Zhigao took out a pair of scissors from nowhere and smiled at him.

"Hey, Nagato, I feel like your hair is a bit long, too much to block your vision, come here, let me design a trendy hairstyle for you, please sit still!"

"..."
