The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Nagato could no longer hear clearly what Jiraiya said later. All his attention was focused on the first two words, which were constantly swirling in his mind.

Naruto Naruto Naruto Naruto Naruto Naruto.

God knows how much these two words shocked his mind.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi, these two words were just two ordinary words. He might not even be aware that they were a person's name, but to Nagato, these two words were like thunder. , exploded suddenly in his ears.

At this moment, countless questions arose in Nagato's heart.

How is it possible, Naruto, that someone could actually pronounce this name?

His first reaction was that he had heard wrongly, but he killed this thought as soon as it arose.

No, it was impossible. Apart from the very beginning, the word Naruto also appeared many times in succession. It was impossible for me to hear them all correctly. However, at this point in time, how could anyone know who Naruto was?

Nagato's mind was in a mess, and in his daze, he didn't notice a small stone on the ground in front of him at all, and kicked it straight up.

With a "snap" sound, Nagato's right foot was caught by the stone without any reason. His feet staggered, and his body fell towards the ground uncontrollably.

This incident brought Nagato back to his senses, but at this time he had no time to adjust his body, he let out a exclamation, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The pain he imagined did not come. Nagato opened his eyes and found that his face was very close to the ground, but his body did not fall, but hung in mid-air, with a hand firmly grasping it from behind. It caught his back collar and prevented him from falling.

Then, with a little force, the hand pulled Nagato up.

"Nagato, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Nagato worriedly.

The owner of the hand holding Nagato's clothes at the critical moment was Sarutobi Hiruzen. When Nagato of the Senju clan collided with Uzumaki Kushina, he intentionally failed to stop it, rather than being unable to stop it. This time the two Standing so close to each other, if he can still let Nagato fall under his nose, he can retire early to live in retirement.

Nagato stood firm and shook his head, "No. It's okay, Hokage-sama. I was just a little tired, so I didn't notice a stone under my feet just now, and I tripped."

"That's right." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to express his understanding. Nagato, a seven-year-old child, traveled all the way from the Land of Rain, and after arriving, he followed him around Konoha for a long time. Even the Uzumaki clan It will be too much.

He said apologetically: "It's no wonder you are tired. It's also my fault. I didn't take your physical strength into consideration. You are still a child and your physical strength is not comparable to that of an adult. You just came to Konoha from the Land of Rain and you haven't given up yet." You have a good rest, and then you follow me around and visit the whole village, I'm sorry."

"No, it's nothing. Hokage-sama, you don't need to apologize to me." Nagato waved his hand hurriedly. Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards him was so good, but it made him a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Jiraiya in the house also heard the movement in the yard. He walked out of the house and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nagato standing in the yard with a surprised expression.

"Teacher, and Nagato, aren't you going to Uzumaki Mito-sama? Why are you here at my house?"

Nagato was not a ninja, and Hiruzen Sarutobi did not deliberately hide his footsteps. Although Jiraiya was not very vigilant because he was at his own home, he did not notice anything at such a close distance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with a smile: "That's right, Jiraiya, we have already been to Mito-sama's place, and now we are here to see the two children from the Land of Rain."

"They should still be at your house now."

Jiraiya walked up to them and said clearly: "I see, I know, the two of them are inside now."

"In that case, let's go in quickly."

The three of them walked into the house. Nagato felt a little nervous thinking about what he heard about Naruto just now, so he walked at the front.

After entering, he saw Konan and Yahiko sitting on a sofa, and there were two bowls of ramen on the table in front of them, and they were eating happily.

"You..." Nagato was a little speechless. He was originally a little worried that the two children, Konan and Yahiko, would feel unfamiliar and scared when they suddenly came to a new environment. But now, looking at their appearance, they didn't look scared at all. None, I was worried for nothing.

Sure enough, in this world where a seven-year-old child can have the mind of a Hokage, they should not be treated according to the common sense of the earth.

"Nagato, you're back." Yahiko and Konan raised their heads when they heard the voice, looking at Nagato in surprise and joy.

After Nagato was taken away, the two of them were wondering how long he would have to go, and Jiraiya just came back and told them that the two third-generation Hokages were going to take Nagato to meet a senior of the Uzumaki clan. Next, they might Didn't see each other for a long time.

The two of them had been mentally prepared, but they didn't expect Nagato to come back so soon.

"Are you two okay here?"

"Yes." Xiaonan nodded lightly, "Jiraiya-sama is a very kind person. Not only did he cook ramen for us, but he also told us nice stories."

Very nice story

Nagato was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that in addition to two bowls of ramen, there was also a book on the table with several large characters written on it.

Rooted in tolerance.

"Genshin Nindenden." Nagato read out these words subconsciously. He was still a little unfamiliar at first, but after reading it, he realized it. Isn't this the fact that Jiraiya was inspired by Nagato in the original work? The book I will write in the future?

However, compared to the name Genxing Renzhuan, he is more familiar with the title of the book translated into Chinese, Strong Perseverance Renzhuan.

In the original book, it can be said that this book played a key role in the reason why Naruto was able to deceive Nagato and was willing to die in order to resurrect everyone in Konoha.

At the same time, Nagato also realized why he heard the name Naruto before.

Because Naruto's name comes from this book. After reading this book, Namikaze Minato liked the protagonist of this book very much, so he gave his unborn child the same name. This paragraph He remembers important plots very deeply.

"Huh." After thinking about this, Nagato let out a sigh of relief, and his tense mood suddenly relaxed.
