The man standing at the top of the ninja world

What Jiraiya didn't know was that while he was melancholy, Konan and Yahiko actually felt the same way as him.

Just like Jiraiya had a crush on them, Yahiko and Konan also felt that Jiraiya was much more pleasing to the eye than Tsunade and Orochimaru.

The latter two always had a very indifferent attitude towards them. Orochimaru once had the idea of ​​killing them. Although he changed his attitude after learning that Nagato's surname was Uzumaki, he only became more caring about Nagato and less interested in them. The two of them still didn't care, while Tsunade was too lazy to care about anyone. Only Jiraiya was very enthusiastic towards any of them.

Back in the Land of Rain, only Jiraiya was willing to give them food. Tsunade gave them bread because of Jiraiya, and Jiraiya was willing to stay and take care of them, so they naturally felt that Jiraiya was the most important. kind.

After Jiraiya finished reading The Legend of Strong Perseverance to them, because they liked this book very much, the two of them had a slight admiration for Jiraiya, the author of this work.

When the Third Hokage said he would take them to live somewhere else, Yahiko and Konan were still a little reluctant to leave Jiraiya.

But let's not say that as outsiders, they have no right to refuse the Hokage's arrangement. Even if they could refuse, they would not do so, because if they did not go to live with Uzumaki Mito, it would mean separation from Nagato.

Although the two of them felt that it was very pleasant to stay with Jiraiya, if they had to choose between Jiraiya and Nagato, they would certainly choose to be with Nagato without hesitation, and they would struggle to survive together. In comparison, his good impression of Jiraiya was nothing at all.

If Nagato could know the thoughts of the three of them, he would be very surprised. If it weren't for the fact that he chose a completely different path from the original work, then Jiraiya and the three of them should already have a master-disciple relationship.

But even if he knew it, he would not regret it. In the original work, he and Jiraiya lived happily together for three years in the Land of Rain, but in the end, no one was spared. They continued to follow the original route, and finally The result of defeat is still inevitable. Only by changing this can we have a chance to change their tragic fate.

As for whether the three of them will interact with Jiraiya in the future and whether they will become Jiraiya's disciples, Nagato himself does not know this.

......

On the way to the Senju Clan's camp, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not idle either. He took the initiative to chat with Yahiko Konan and asked the two of them some questions.

After learning that both of their parents died at the hands of the ninjas of Iwa Ninja Village, and that both of them hated Sansho Hanzo, although he didn't change much on the surface, he was more satisfied with them in his heart.

Iwa Ninja Village has always been Konoha's enemy, and Hanzo is the leader of the Rain Country. He hates Iwa Ninja Village and Hanzo. This is a good thing for Konoha, because it means that the two of them can quickly integrate into Konoha.

Of course, at this moment Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine that although Yahiko hated Hanzo, he did not hate the country of rain. On the contrary, he was an out-and-out patriot. Before the three of them came to Konoha, Yahiko had already I decided to wait until I grow up and learn ninjutsu to become a ninja, then return to the Country of Rain to fight for my motherland, so that the Country of Rain will never be invaded by other countries in the future.

Although Yahiko is still young, he is not a fool. He will not be stupid enough to tell the leader of Konoha that he wants to leave Konoha when he grows up. The Country of Rain is an enemy country of Konoha. Doesn't that make it clear to the Third Hokage that they are? Are you raising tigers for trouble?

Moreover, Yahiko does not feel that it is ungrateful for him to leave Konoha in the future. He will, like Nagato said, wait until he repays the debt he owes Konoha twice before leaving Konoha, rather than leaving immediately after he grows up.

By the time the group of them returned to the Senju Clan's camp, it was completely dark. Uzumaki Mito had already packed up three rooms, all of which were connected to her own house, and had prepared all the necessary daily necessities. .

Yahiko and Konan were a little uneasy about coming to live here in Uzumaki Mito. After all, they had never met Uzumaki Mito and didn't know what kind of person she would be. They only heard a few mentions from Nagato.

Although Nagato said that she was a very kind old man, what they heard was false and what they saw was believing. It was not that they suspected that Nagato would lie to them, but that Uzumaki Mito being kind to Nagato did not mean that he would be kind to them. After all, Nagato They were members of her tribe, not the two of them.

But to their surprise, after meeting, Uzumaki Mito's attitude towards the two of them was much better than they had expected. Not only did he greet them with greetings, but he also asked them to call her the same as Nagato. Grandma, tell the two of them that this will be their future home.

As Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen had many things to deal with every day and didn't have much time to stay here, so he left after sending them there, leaving the three of them to stay with Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito knew that they hadn't eaten all day, so he said a few words to the three of them, and then took them to the hall, where a table full of dishes was already placed.

I don't know if these dishes were made by Uzumaki Mito himself, but they taste very good. The three of Nagato wandered in the Land of Rain for so long and basically didn't have enough to eat every day. Later, after meeting the Sannin, they had enough food. The food was bouncing back and forth along the way, so they only ate a little bit at a time because if they ate too much they would vomit it all out.

Although Yahiko and Konan had just eaten some ramen at Jiraiya's place, it was still far from filling them up, and Nagato really hadn't eaten anything all day long.

So facing these delicacies, the three of them seemed to have not eaten for three days and three nights, and swept away the dishes on the table like a whirlwind. Even the girl Xiaonan was no exception, which made Mito Uzumaki who was watching a little bit. Their appetite was frightened, and I kept telling them to eat slowly.

The three of them came from the Land of Rain and had a lot of troubles along the way. Uzumaki Mito also knew this, so after finishing the meal, he didn't say anything more to them and let them take a bath each. They took each person to his or her own room and told them to get some early rest for the day.

After some simple cleaning, Nagato lay on the bed.

The room was dark. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head, thinking about what happened today. Overall, it went more smoothly than he expected.

He did not expect to live here in Uzumaki Mito, but this was not a bad thing, and was actually very beneficial to him.
