The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Early the next morning, the three of them headed towards the town.

While walking on the road, Xiaonan looked at Yahiko's dark circles and asked with some confusion: "Yahiko, didn't you sleep well last night? The circles under your eyes are so dark, like, like..."

Konan thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to describe Yahiko's dark circles. There was no way, I don't know if there were any in the ninja world, but at least there was definitely no such animal as a panda in the Land of Rain.

"Oh, anyway, the circles under your eyes are very dark,"

"Really?" Yahiko reached out and touched his eye sockets, saying with some uncertainty.

Xiaonan was right. He did not sleep well yesterday. No, rather than not sleeping well, it is better to say that he barely slept. After talking about his dreams with his two companions, his spirit was extremely high and his mind was full of thoughts. Thinking about the matter of becoming a ninja as his disciple, he didn't feel sleepy at all all night, and he tossed and turned looking forward to the next day.

When it was dawn, I couldn't wait to wake up Konan and Nagato, and they even complained a few times about this.

Until now, even after not sleeping all night, he was still full of energy and not tired at all.

Xiaonan nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true."

"Oh, don't worry about these little things." Yahiko waved his hand and changed the subject: "Let's quickly think about asking for news about ninjas."

"Let's do this. After we enter the town, we will divide our troops into three groups. Everyone will go to a place to inquire. At noon, no matter whether we have inquired about the news or not, we will all gather at the same place. How about" Nagato After thinking about it, he suggested to Yahiko and Xiaonan that the old place he mentioned was exactly where they used to meet after stealing food.

"Yes."

"I agree too."

Neither of them had any objections and the matter was decided.

"Ah, I really want to quickly find a powerful master to teach us Ninjutsu." After making the decision, Yahiko looked up at the rainy sky as he walked, his eyes full of longing.

"Well, it's decided. After I learn powerful ninjutsu and become a powerful ninja, I must first beat up this old bastard Hanzo."

Nagato smiled and said, "Yahiko, we haven't even found the shadow of the ninja yet, so you should first think about what will happen after you leave the army. Don't you think you are thinking too much?"

"What does it matter? My dream is to conquer the world. Compared with this, beating up Hanzo is nothing."

"You..." Nagato shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a kunai with a paper talisman tied to it in the sky on one side, heading towards him quickly. Smashed over.

That's...the detonator

Nagato's expression changed drastically, and before he could say anything else, the kunai had already landed beside the three of them, a white light lit up, and then his whole body was blown away.

With a plop, Nagato's body fell heavily to the ground. He felt that his whole body was filled with intense pain, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

But at this moment, Nagato's focus was not on himself. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

The little boy's thin body was lying on his side on the ground, one leg was twitching slightly, and blood was pouring out of his mouth.

After a few seconds, its eyes lost their luster, and its twitching body became motionless.

The little one is dead.

When the explosion occurred, it was not the three of them who were closest to the detonating talisman, but the little one following them. The detonating talisman was extremely powerful, equivalent to the advanced fire escape ninjutsu released by a jounin, even if it was ordinary A ninja who is unprepared and hit by a detonating talisman is likely to be killed, let alone a puppy.

The three of them were not killed by the detonating talisman, just because they were lucky enough to be far away.

Looking at the little one's body, Nagato felt that his mind went blank. In addition to the grief caused by the little one's death, deep down in his heart was a kind of fear.

Fear of fate.

If I remember correctly, the little one in the original book was killed by a detonating talisman.

However, he obviously should have changed the trajectory of the original work. Whether it is in the original work of Naruto or the additional plot in the animation, there is absolutely no scene where the three of them go to the town to inquire about the ninja. This is what he, as a time traveler, did. What drives and initiates is something that the original work would never have had.

In this case, how could the little one be blown up to death by a detonating talisman like in the original work?

"Nagato, are you okay?"

The voices of Konan and Yahiko rang in his ears, interrupting Nagato's thoughts. He raised his head blankly and saw the two people standing next to him, looking at him with worried faces.

Yahiko and Konan were standing with Nagato just now, so they fell next to Nagato after being blown away. When they stood up, they happened to see the scene where the little one died, but compared with the little one, they were still more worried about Nagato. door condition.

"fine."

Hearing these words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then helped Nagato up from the ground one by one.

After standing up, Nagato saw that although Yahiko and Konan had many rain stains on their bodies, like him, they did not suffer any real damage.

"Just now, what happened just now?" Xiaonan patted her chest and asked with lingering fear.

"I think it should be a prop called a detonating charm used by ninjas." Nagato was silent for a few seconds and explained in a low tone.

"Damn it." Yahiko punched the stone wall next to him and growled angrily: "This is obviously a safe area, how come there are ninjas fighting here."

The three of them set out early in the morning and were now very close to the town. Generally speaking, ninjas would not fight in places where a large number of ordinary people gathered.

"Okay, don't talk about this." Nagato shook his head, "The detonating talisman flew over from there, let's go there and take a look."

There was one last bit of confusion in his mind that needed to be verified.

The three of them were now standing on a mountain range. They walked towards the direction from which the detonating talisman flew, and found that in the valley on the other side of the mountain, four people were in a confrontation.

Really them.

Nagato looked at the four people in the valley below, his pupils tightened, and his hands clenched subconsciously.

The four people facing each other in the valley were none other than Hanzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

Although there are some differences between the real world and the animation, the distinctive features of the four of them still allowed Nagato to recognize their identities at a glance.

This scene completely shattered the last trace of luck in Nagato's heart. The death of the little boy by the detonating talisman was indeed not a coincidence, but the result of the original work.

But this only made Nagato feel irritable.

You know, the reason why he talked about dreams with Konan and Yahiko last night was because he had been here for several months but had never met the Sannin. He couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to take the initiative Attack.

His original preparation was to tell Konan and Yahiko that he had found out information about three very powerful Konoha ninjas and that he could go to them to become apprentices.

But what does it matter now?

Why did he obviously make changes, but the ending was still exactly the same as the original work? The little one was still killed by the detonating talisman, and the three of them still met Hanzo and Sannin.

Has everything he done been in vain?

Does this mean that even if there are some changes in the process, the ending of the original work is irreversible.

In other words, no matter how hard he tries, he will inevitably die tragically like the original.

Nagato's heart was in chaos, with all kinds of thoughts pouring out in random directions.

Yahiko didn't notice anything unusual about Nagato next to him. He lay on the mountain range, stuck out his head, looked at the four people in the valley carefully, and then whispered: "That person... is Hanzo."

Hanzo has been ruling the Kingdom of Rain for more than ten years. Everyone in the Kingdom of Rain, from ninjas to ordinary people, are very aware of his appearance, and he is still stepping on his iconic psychic beast Sanshouyu. , so Yahiko recognized it at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, Yahiko whispered again: "Three Konoha ninjas are fighting Hanzo. It's incredible that there are only three of them, and they can actually fight against Hanzo."

Although Yahiko was unable to recognize the specific identities of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya like Nagato, the Konoha forehead protectors worn by the three of them were still easy to identify.

After a while, Nagato shook his head and suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart.

He lowered his head and glanced at the four people who were still in the fierce battle, and said: "Okay, let's leave quickly. Their battle is not over yet. Maybe it will affect us like it just did. By then we may not be able to Such good luck.”

Although he has found the Sannin now, it is not a good opportunity to go find them. The three of them are still in a fierce battle. If they go out rashly, they are likely to be attacked as sneak attackers, and he is currently thinking It's very confusing. You need to calm down and think carefully.

"Nagato, Konan, I went to the place where I was just now and took a look. Hanzo and the three Konoha ninjas all disappeared. It seems that the three Konoha ninjas did not die at the hands of Hanzo."

Yahiko walked in from outside the cave and spoke to Konan to Nagato who was sitting by the fire.

Now, several hours have passed since the three of them saw the battle between Hanzo and the Sannin. At dusk, Yahiko couldn't bear it and proposed to check the result of the battle, while Nagato was greatly disturbed. The reason for the shock was that he did not go with Yahiko, but stayed in the cave to rest.

Xiaonan was worried about Nagato's condition, so she stayed to take care of him.

Of course, in the eyes of Konan and Yahiko, Nagato was in a daze because of the little one's death. After all, he was the little one's master.

After getting closer, Yahiko sighed: "I didn't expect those three Konoha ninjas to be so powerful. Just three people can fight against Hanzo. It's really amazing."

Although he hates Hanzo, he also knows very well that Hanzo is really strong and will never be lower than the Kage of the Five Great Nations. Otherwise, the latter would not dare to have the ambition to become the Sixth Kage. Therefore, he does not care about the three Kage. The young Konoha ninja was very surprised that Hanzo was not killed.

Nagato heard the song and knew the meaning, heard his meaning, and said: "Yahiko, you want to find them to teach us ninjutsu, right?"

"That's right." Yahiko nodded, "Originally we were going to inquire about powerful ninjas. Now that there are such powerful ninjas in front of us, of course we can't miss it."

"The three of them are indeed very powerful, but." Xiaonan said with some worry on his face, "The three of them are ninjas of Konoha, and the three of us are from the Kingdom of Rain. Even if we really find them, Will they really agree to teach us ninjutsu?"

"Never mind this." Yahiko said with a firm gaze, "This is our only hope. No matter whether they can teach us or not, we should find them first."

Nagato stood up, looked at his two companions, and said, "In this case, let's set off."

After these few hours of rest, Nagato had calmed down and regained his fighting spirit.

Regardless of whether Tiny's death is due to the self-correcting power of the plot, he will never give in, let alone wait to die.

He didn't believe it anymore. He had such a huge advantage of foresight and the strongest blood stain like the Samsara Eye. He couldn't overcome the inertia of a mere plot.

After making the decision, the three of them didn't hesitate any longer. They first buried the little one's body, and then began to sort out the items in the cave.

There was still a lot of food left in the cave, but after various considerations, they finally brought only some food that was easier to carry and could be stored for a long time.

The remaining food was not left in the cave, but was delivered at night to the boss whose fish was stolen by the three of them before, just like in the original work, and asked him to return these things to the other stall owners. .

After doing this, the three of them resolutely embarked on a journey to find the Sannin.
