The man standing at the top of the ninja world

The residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Nagato and Tsunade walked into the courtyard of the main house together. Looking at the familiar environment, they couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in their hearts.

After a month of confinement, he finally returned home.

Then, Nagato saw Konan, Uzumaki Kushina, and Yahiko sitting in the corridor.

At this time, Konan, Uzumaki Kushina, and Yahiko also discovered Nagato and Tsunade. Their faces showed joy and they ran to the two of them.

Yahiko was the first to speak: "Sister Tsunade, Nagato, why did you two come back? We are all waiting impatiently. If you two don't come back, we will go find you."

Tsunade said: "I'm sorry, I talked to Nagato about something, which delayed me a little bit, so I came back a little late."

Konan looked at Nagato up and down, and then asked worriedly: "Nagato, you have been locked up for so long, are you okay?"

Uzumaki Kushina asked equally worriedly: "Nagato, how are you doing in the solitary confinement place? Nothing went wrong."

Nagato smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Xiaonan, Kushina, although I am locked up, the Hokage has prepared daily necessities for me, the place where I live is very comfortable, and the food provided every day is also very delicious, except Apart from the boring life, everything else is fine and there are no problems at all.”

Xiaonan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "Then I'll be relieved."

"Phew." Uzumaki Kushina took a deep breath and said, "Nagato, it's great that you're okay."

Although Konan and Uzumaki Kushina knew that the Third Hokage would not let Nagato suffer because of how much the Third Hokage valued Nagato, they still couldn't help but worry about Nagato. Now they were completely relieved to see that Nagato was fine.

After Nagato said a few more words to the three of them, he said: "Konan, Kushina, Yahiko, Lord Hokage asked me to go to the Hokage's office to meet him when I come back. I'm going to see Lord Hokage first."

The three of them nodded.

Nagato walked out of the Senju clan station and rushed towards the Hokage's office building with all his strength. A moment later, he arrived at the Hokage's office building.

He walked into the Hokage's office building and finally stopped in front of the Hokage's office door, reaching out and knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

A few seconds later, the voice of the Third Hokage sounded.

"Please come in."

Nagato opened the door and walked into the Hokage's office, where he found the Third Hokage sitting at his desk processing documents as usual.

The Third Hokage raised his head and saw Nagato. He immediately put down the documents in his hands and said with some surprise: "Nagato, you are here."

Nagato replied: "Hokage-sama, Sister Tsunade told me that you asked me to come to see you when I get home, so I came."

The Third Hokage nodded and said: "Yes, Nagato, I have something to tell you. Originally, I wanted to pick you up in person, but Tsunade came to me and said that she had something very important to tell you alone. , I had to ask her to bring you back."

Having said this, the Third Hokage asked curiously: "By the way, Nagato, Tsunade, does she have anything important to ask you for?"

Nagato thought for a while, but Tsunade didn't ask him to keep it a secret, and said, "Hokage-sama, this is it..."

The important thing Tsunade called was not the creation of the art of regeneration, so Nagato did not mention it. He told the Third Hokage that Tsunade was going to marry Kato Dan and wanted him to inherit the Senju clan. .

After listening to Nagato's words, the Third Hokage nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, I didn't expect that Tsunade would marry Kato Dan, and she also wanted you, Nagato, to inherit the Senju clan."

Having said this, the Third Hokage paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "Kato Dan is an outstanding Jonin in the village. Compared with Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, he is only slightly inferior. Tsunade and him They have been dating for several years, and they really should get married."

But after saying this, the Third Hokage had a look of regret on his face.

As the master of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, the Third Hokage certainly knew that Jiraiya liked Tsunade, and he himself was happy to see it happen, but Tsunade still chose Kato Dan in the end. Choosing Jiraiya made the Third Hokage feel a little regretful.

Although Kato Dan is very good, his relationship with him is just that of superior and subordinate, while Jiraiya is his disciple. Of course, he prefers Jiraiya. Although he is Hokage, he also has selfish motives.

The Third Hokage sighed in his heart. He felt that Jiraiya was really unlucky. The woman Jiraiya liked, Tsunade, did not like him, but liked Kato Dan, and she was thought by Jiraiya to be the one predicted by the Great Toad Sage. Nagato, the son of destiny, was not willing to let him become the leading jounin, but chose Tsunade to become the leading jounin.

And although Nagato is not old now, with Nagato's strength, even among Kage-level ninjas, he is a strong one. It is probably impossible for Jiraiya to accept Nagato as his disciple. .

In addition to Tsunade's marriage to Kato Dan, Tsunade's plan to let Nagato inherit the Senju clan also surprised the Third Hokage, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was indeed a way to continue the Senju clan. The best way.

The Third Hokage actually supported Nagato to change his surname to Senju, join the Senju clan, and join Tsunade's lineage, becoming Tsunade's real younger brother.

Because in this way, Nagato becomes the grandson of Senju Hashirama. The third generation Hokage has long been planning to make Nagato the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village after he retires, but Nagato is not Konoha Village after all. They are local people, but come from the Kingdom of Rain.

Although Nagato is a member of the Uzumaki clan, an ally of Konoha Village, the allies are still outsiders after all, not one of their own, and the Kingdom of Rain has also had a war with Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage was worried that if he let Nagato become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, it might cause resistance among some villagers and ninjas in Konoha Village. Although this would not affect the overall situation, it was still a trouble.

If Nagato's identity becomes the grandson of Senju Hashirama, then this problem will not exist. With Senju Hashirama's prestige in Konoha Village, let Senju Hashirama's grandson be the fourth generation of Konoha Village. Hokage, there will definitely be no objection from anyone, but it's a pity that Nagato rejected Tsunade.

However, the Third Hokage was more than a pity, and was more satisfied with Nagato. After all, the reason why Nagato rejected Tsunade was that he did not want to go against Uzumaki Mito's wishes. This shows that Nagato is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and such a person is worthy of him. People who cultivate with all their strength.

If Nagato really agreed to Tsunade, he would be disappointed in Nagato.
