The man standing at the top of the ninja world

"What Hokage-sama said is true." Nagato explained to the two of them: "Mito-sama, she is a member of the Uzumaki clan like me. She is a very kind old man."

"When Hokage-sama took me to see her, she said that she was very lonely and asked me if the three of us would like to live with her so that we could spend time with her. I thought about it and agreed."

After saying this, Nagato showed a trace of apology on his face, "I'm sorry, I should have discussed it with you two, but you two were not here at the time and I couldn't ask for your opinions, so I made the decision for you two without authorization. I'm sorry. .”

"It doesn't matter." Yahiko shook his head, "Nagato, you don't need to apologize to us. The three of us are companions. The most basic requirement of companions is to believe in each other. We believe in you."

"And, since you have made such a decision, you must have seriously considered it, so Xiaonan and I support you, right Xiaonan?"

"Yes." Xiaonan nodded quickly when he heard this, looked at the two of them, and said softly: "It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you can be with Nagato and Yahiko."

Being able to trust each other unconditionally, it seems that the relationship between the three of them is much greater than previously expected. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this scene with a calm expression on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart.

These thoughts passed by in a flash. After watching the three people finished speaking, he finally made a decision: "It's getting late. Since Yahiko and Konan have no objections, let's go back to Mito-sama now. She should have put it together by now." Your quarters are all sorted."

No one had any objections. It was already afternoon when Nagato and the six of them returned to Konoha. After running back and forth like this, the sky had already turned dim and the sun was setting. If it dragged on any longer, it would be dark.

They walked out of Jiraiya's house. Jiraiya sent them outside the gate and stopped following them. However, he did not return to the house immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and watched their departure.

"Ugh."

After everyone was out of his sight, Jiraiya sighed softly, with a melancholy look on his face.

He felt a little guilty towards Nagato, the three war orphans, and had decided to stay in the Land of Rain to take care of them. However, this matter took a turn when he discovered that Nagato had the Rinnegan. Under Orochimaru's order, he Together with Orochimaru and Tsunade, they took the three of them back to Konoha.

On the way back to Konoha from the Land of Rain, Jiraiya also got along very well with the three of them. After just finding out that Yahiko and Konan both liked the books he wrote, he felt that they were very destined to him. .

While Jiraiya was telling stories to Konan Yahiko and the other two, he secretly made a decision in his heart.

Nagato belongs to the Uzumaki clan, and he also has the Rinnegan. How he should be placed is a matter for the Hokage and several advisors. It is not his turn to intervene, but Yahiko and Konan are different from Nagato. They are just two ordinary rains. The children of the country are not that important, and the Hokage and advisors will not pay too much attention to them.

So Jiraiya decided to apply to the Third Hokage the next day for him to take care of the two of them.

But Jiraiya didn't expect that before he applied to the Third Hokage, the other party had already thought about how to arrange Yahiko and Konan.

When he learned that the Third Hokage wanted the two of them to live with the Senju clan with Nagato, he had the idea of ​​asking the Third Hokage to change his mind, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered another thing , which made him give up his initial thoughts, and he didn't say anything after all.

What he suddenly remembered was that the Great Toad Immortal of Mt. Myoboku once told him that he had received a prophecy, the content of which was that Jiraiya would one day take on a disciple.

This disciple is the legendary child of prophecy, who will bring about huge changes to the entire world, or allow the ninja world to stabilize from now on, or it may completely destroy the ninja world.

In this, Jiraiya's teachings as a master will play a vital role.

And if Jiraiya wants to make the right choice, he must leave Konoha to travel around the world and become a writer to write and publish books. Only in this way can he get the right answer.

The Second Ninja World War was in full swing. Konoha was one against three and was trapped in the quagmire of war. As a Konoha ninja, whether it was out of intention or obligation, Jiraiya could not leave Konoha at that time. Traveling around the world, he had to write a book first.

But the situation is different now. Konoha has the advantage on all three battlefields. It can be said that the victory in this Ninja World War has been basically established. As long as no accidents occur, a complete victory is a sure thing.

Under such circumstances, his existence is no longer important. If Konoha has more of him, it will not be more, and if Konoha has less of him, it will not be less.

And at this time, he also encountered a bottleneck in writing a book. He couldn't write the follow-up content anyway. Jiraiya guessed that this might be the prophecy coming true bit by bit. He could only get enough inspiration to finish writing this book by traveling around the world. If you stay in Konoha and stay in Konoha, you may never be able to write the follow-up content of the story.

He had already thought about it. After a while, and he was sure that there would be no major accidents in the battle, he would ask the Third Hokage to travel around the world.

When Jiraiya told Yahiko that he had important things to do, he was referring to this matter, and he was not looking for excuses to deceive Yahiko.

This was also the reason why he gave up the idea of ​​letting the Third Hokage change his mind.

If Yahiko and Konan were not arranged by the Third Hokage to go to the Senju Clan with Nagato, then taking care of them would be the best choice for them.

Although Jiraiya will leave Konoha soon, as long as he takes care of them, the two of them can get great help. The two of them can live in Jiraiya's house, and Jiraiya can also send them to Ninja school allows them to learn how to refine chakra, become a real ninja, and realize their wishes.

Otherwise, the two of them will have no choice but to be sent to an orphanage. They are children from other countries. Without external intervention, it is almost impossible for them to become ninjas.

But now that the Third Hokage has decided to let the two of them live with the Senju clan with Nagato, it means that they will focus on training them. Uzumaki Mito is much stronger than Jiraiya, and he will not be as powerful as Jiraiya. You can leave just as quickly as you come, and you can teach them all the time.

In this case, there is no need for him to make requests to take care of Yahiko and Konan, which will only delay them.

Jiraiya looked at the deserted street, shook his head, turned around and walked back to the house. Although he felt a little regretful, there was nothing he could do about it. He sighed in his heart, maybe he and Yahiko Konan were so-called destined but not destined. Bar.
