Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn

"Let's go back!"

Looking back, Jiraiya led Kisame towards a simple building hidden behind this high ground.

It's a building, but it's just a temporary camp.

Several scattered tents seem to blend into the surrounding environment. From a distance, it looks no different from the surrounding forest.

A slightly larger curtain in the middle was opened, and you could see a circle of ninjas in different clothes, sitting cross-legged in a circle, discussing something.

"Jiraiya-sama..."

Seeing the visitor, the ninjas from all over the world nodded to Jiraiya.

"Haha! Don't be so formal. Although we are from different ninja villages, we can still be considered colleagues."

Nodding to the ninjas of all countries, Jiraiya sat down cross-legged.

His eyes swept over everyone.

Loess, Todai, Maki, and Kisame, these people all come from different villages.

Because of the proposal of Dongshilang Trade Zone, we gathered together with the purpose of protecting trade and handling trade disputes at the same time.

At the beginning, there were only two or three big cats and kittens. But as time went by, trade volume skyrocketed.

There are more and more problems, big and small.

Especially in various villages, the number of guard tasks has increased significantly, and after collecting a considerable amount of 'protection fees' in this trading area.

With this income, coupled with the skyrocketing workload in the village, everyone realized the benefits of strengthening trade and sent more manpower.

There are many people, especially these people are from different ninja villages. In this organization composed of the five major countries, there are really undercurrents and constant internal strife.

There are various obstacles, hindrances, and combinations between each other. Don't make it too ugly.

As a result, they even forgot about their own jobs, causing several tragedies, resulting in the death and injury of a large number of businessmen. Only then did Toshiro send Jiraiya, the 'sinner' here.

"I'm going back to Konoha next, and I'll have to work hard on you guys~"

The old man wrote a letter saying that there was something extremely important and he had to go back to Konoha no matter what.

Although I don't take the old man's words seriously, it's not a bad idea to take the opportunity to give myself a holiday.

In the past few years, he has been responsible for protecting the security of border trade zones of various countries and handling various messy disputes at the same time. It can be said that he does not have a day to spare.

How many times have I passed by those hot spring hotels and flower streets and willow lanes, and I can only take a quick glance at them, without having time to go in and collect information.

This kind of life is really not how people live.

"..."

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"…you guys~"

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Jiraiya was speechless.

Although these people didn't speak, each of them made eye contact, so it really shouldn't be too obvious.

Tudai gave Maki a look that said, "You know." Huangtu and Kisame also looked at each other, and both sides understood each other tacitly.

Then Kisame's small eyes glanced at Tudai next to him calmly, and Huangtu also looked at Maki and smiled.

A silent exchange, just in the blink of an eye, has been completed several times.

"I don't know, Lord Jiraiya, who do you plan to let take charge of the overall situation here~"

As if he had received some promise, Marky couldn't wait to ask about Jiraiya's arrangements.

Jiraiya is powerful, humorous, and fair in dealing with things.

Everyone present, and the village behind them, could find nothing wrong with them.

But... his eyes swept over these 'colleagues' beside him.

These people may not necessarily be better than themselves. Even if they are stronger than themselves, their strength is limited, and their conduct in life may not necessarily be better than theirs.

Especially now that the volume of trade is getting bigger and bigger, as long as the person in charge is slightly biased, the losses, or gains, will not be huge.

"This time away, it can be as short as one week or as long as two months~"

After looking around, Jiraiya thought about it for a moment, but his eyes did not fall on Maki.

Ma Ji's strength was too weak and he couldn't suppress the other people at all. As for Kisame, his strength was enough, but he was too young and couldn't convince these people.

Their organization now has more than 500 people. It is considered a considerable force that more than one young person can subdue.

"Loess, Tutai, the rest of the matter will be handled by you and Tutai. I will leave the communication frog. If you have any undecided matters, you can send me a message."

His eyes fell on Loess and Dodai, and Jiraiya made a decision.

Not only with their own strength, but also with the village behind them, the two of them are unavoidable candidates.

"yes!"

They looked at each other, loess and earth platform, without any hesitation, nodded slightly, and said no more.

And Jiraiya, after explaining these things, did not stay in the trade area and went directly to Konoha.

…

"Nagato, please think about it again!"

On the high tower of Yuyin Village, two figures stood side by side, letting the rain fall on them.

"The current ninja world has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"Something is starting to get better slowly. We don't need to carry out such a dangerous plan again~"

Xiaonan, who was wearing a red cloud robe, looked away from the village and looked at the red-haired man next to her.

"Now, because of the Hokage's trade agreement, the village has slowly begun to liven up, and people's lives have also improved."

In the village, there are many hotels and warehouses, the faint smiles on people's faces, and the figures of children playing in the rain, which are all evidence.

"Would you like to think about it again?"

A large amount of trade was carried out, and the country that benefited the most was the Country of Rain.

Even if they don't eat meat, a large amount of goods will still leave some oil and water after passing through their country of rain.

People's lives are getting better visibly.

"These...are just temporary~"

Nagato's words were somewhat hesitant, and it seemed that he was also a little shaken.

What Xiaonan said, how could he not know, but...all man-made systems will inevitably collapse.

How long can such good days last?

10 years? 20 years? Or longer...

When conflicts between these countries continue to accumulate and they gain too few benefits, they will invest exponentially in the war.

At that time, the whole world will fall into that kind of desperate war again. No, the war will definitely become more cruel by then.

Taking a step forward, Nagato's expression remained unchanged and he continued:

"Xiaonan, this short period of peace and prosperity is just like the sky in the Land of Rain. Overcast clouds and heavy rain are commonplace, and the clear sky and sunshine are just a glimpse!"

Nagato is different now. The black rod like an antenna on his back has been removed with Zetsu's help.

Both legs, which had no feeling at all, were healed in a unique way. And after he was cured, he felt that some changes had taken place in his body.

My body, which was originally overwhelmed, began to improve IM Anman. The sunken, pale cheeks slowly swelled and gained some color.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Obito and Zetsu have realized that there is no way for the original Nagato to defeat Naruto.

Without a wave of reinforcements from Nagato, there was no way their plan could be implemented.

"Nagato, you are too extreme!"

Nagato's answer was not unexpected.

"Jiraiya-sensei, you have been waiting for news about us at the border of the Land of Rain, don't you plan to go over and see us?"

"Xiaonan, promise to let those goods and ninjas pass through the Land of Rain. This is the limit of what I can do."

"As for going to see him, there is absolutely no need!"

Jiraiya-sensei's philosophy is nothing more than a naive fantasy.

"The reason why these merchants and goods can pass through the Kingdom of Rain is to see that you can return safely."

Seeing Nagato being so stubborn, Konan's expression turned a little gloomy. His gloomy eyes swept over a strange building nearby.

That was Obito and Zetsu's stronghold in Amegakure Village.

"Jiraiya-sensei's ideals are naive, and Uchiha Obito's plan is even more absurd?"

"At least Mr. Jiraiya is a person worthy of our trust. A guy who hides his head and shows his tail is simply unkind."

"He just wants to use the power of the Samsara Eye!"

Uchiha Obito's identity had been exposed in the last battle with Naruto, and they also checked this person's information afterwards.

Ridiculous 1

Knowing that the opponent was an Uchiha who died in the last battle to save his teammates, he didn't expect that he would survive in the end and pretend to be Uchiha Madara to 'guide' Nagato.

"Although he is not trustworthy, my experiences over the years have made me realize that what he said is the truth."

"And after the other party's identity is exposed, there is no need for us to be afraid of the other party."

Last time, not only the opponent's identity was exposed, but his abilities were also exposed. After breaking through the mysterious veil, he was just an ordinary Uchiha clansman with a space ninjutsu.

In this way, he doesn't need to be too defensive about the other party and can execute the plan wholeheartedly.

"The only obstacle to the plan is Uchiha Toshiro. He is the only obstacle to me."

After experiencing the last failure, Nagato realized how difficult Toshiro was. You also know that dispersing the power of the Samsara Eye may cause trouble to the opponent, but it cannot truly defeat the opponent.

And his body is slowly recovering. When the time comes to gather the power of the Six Paths, he may not be able to fight the Hokage.

"Don't worry, Xiaonan, I will definitely make Yahiko's dream become a reality in this world!"

Looking around at the rain that seemed to be falling without stopping, Nagato murmured to himself.

Yahiko's death is a thorn in his heart that cannot be removed. All he can do now is to fulfill his dream for him.

What Obito said, the darkness in the ninja world, and Yahiko's dream were the reasons why he had to carry out the plan.
