The man standing at the top of the ninja world

The three of them walked to Uzumaki Mito's room and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, Uzumaki Mito's voice came out.

"come in."

The three of them walked into the room and saw Mito Uzumaki sitting on the bedside, looking at them with a smile.

Yesterday, when Nagato came for the first and second time, she was always sitting quietly on the bedside like this, and this time was no exception, as if she would always sit here.

"Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, you are here." Uzumaki Mito looked at the three of them seriously, and then said softly: "Looking at you, you are much more energetic than last night. It seems that you should sleep. Have a good sleep."

Xiaonan was slightly shy, "Sorry, Grandma Mito, the three of us overslept, got up so late, and made you wait for so long."

Uzumaki Mito smiled and shook his head, "Don't say that. You guys worked so hard along the way. It's beyond my expectation to wake up so early. If it were me, I might have to sleep until noon before getting up."

Yahiko's character was the most impatient among the three of them, and he asked directly: "Grandma Mito, you asked us to wake up yesterday and come to see you. What's the matter?"

"Haha, don't worry about this first. Let's go to the lobby first. Although it's almost noon now, it's better for you three to have something to eat."

Mito Uzumaki took the three of them to the hall and asked the servant responsible for taking care of her to make them something to eat.

There are quite a lot of servants here. In addition to those responsible for cooking, there are also some who are responsible for other tasks, such as cleaning the room.

The members of the Senju Clan have died, but the houses are still there. As the actual person in charge of the Senju Clan, Uzumaki Mito cannot let these houses be abandoned, but it is impossible for her to clean them herself. The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is not It was used to do this, not to mention there were so many houses that she couldn't even finish cleaning even if she was exhausted.

In addition, Uzumaki Mito is already very old. In addition to the ANBU ninjas who are secretly responsible for protecting her, she also needs other people to take care of her in her daily life. Tsunade is the only one left in the Senju clan. He was busy participating in the war, so he naturally had no time to take care of her.

And Tsunade is not very good at doing these trivial things. Let alone taking care of others, she can't even take care of herself. When she goes to the ninja world in the future, she will have to rely on Shizune, who is only a teenager, to take care of her when she is in her 30s.

These servants, like the ANBU ninjas, were sent by the Third Hokage.

While waiting, Uzumaki Mito said something to the three Nagatos. Specifically, she asked about some of their situations, and once again told them to regard this place as their home from now on, without saying the purpose of her asking them to come.

It wasn't until the three of them finished eating what was no longer breakfast that she said, "Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, I asked you three to come here because I want to ask you what your plans are for the future."

Xiao Nan wondered: "Future plans"

"Well." Uzumaki Mito explained: "To put it simply, what kind of job do you want to do in the future."

During the Warring States Period, the average lifespan of a ninja was less than 30 years old, so children as young as four or five years old had to go to the battlefield. Although it is not that exaggerated now, it is not much better. Kakashi is a typical example. He graduated from ninja school at the age of five. graduated.

This is not only true for ninjas, but also for other walks of life. Whatever profession you want to become, you need to start learning related things from a very young age.

It turns out that Nagato learned medical skills under the guidance of his father Ise. If that incident had not happened, he would probably have become an ordinary doctor like his father when he grew up.

Although the Third Hokage was ready to let Nagato enter the ninja school, for the sake of being conservative, he decided to ask Nagato about his intention first. If he was willing to become a ninja, that would be the best, but if Nagato was not willing... ...

Well, there is no such option, Nagato must be willing, and if he is not willing to become a ninja, then find a way to make him willing.

The Third Hokage still hopes that Nagato will become the new protector of Konoha when he grows up. Even if he is killed, he will not agree to let Nagato do other things.

Although Yahiko had already told the Sannin that the three of them wanted to become ninjas, the Third Hokage did not know about it. The letter written by Orochimaru mentioned Yahiko and Konan in one sentence, let alone what the two of them said. Neither of their names were written down. The Third Hokage only learned the names of Yahiko and Konan from Jiraiya.

Happiness came so suddenly that Nagato didn't react for a while. He was still thinking about when he could enter the ninja school last night. He thought that the Third Hokage might inspect the three of them for a while. Unexpectedly, Uzumaki Mito would ask about it today. This matter, so anxious, Konoha is simply more eager to make him stronger than himself.

Nagato and Yahiko Konan looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "Grandma Mito, we want to become ninjas."

"Become a ninja?" Uzumaki Mito nodded, and this answer was within her expectation.

The current ninja world is in troubled times, and the more chaotic the era, the more important force is. The three Nagatos are war orphans. They must have been bullied a lot during their wanderings. It is normal for them to desire powerful power.

"However, becoming a ninja means that one day you will enter the battlefield. This is very dangerous. Have you really thought about it?" Uzumaki Mito looked at them and said slowly: "You know, no matter it is In both the First Ninja War and the Second Ninja War, there were many casualties among ninjas from all over the world."

"On the battlefield, no matter who you are, there is a possibility of being killed by the enemy. My grandson Qianju Noshu died on the battlefield. He was only 12 years old at the time, only five years older than you are now. That’s all.”

"If you choose to become a ninja, you may die on the battlefield before you grow up like the rope tree in the future, ending your precious life. But if you choose other professions, you will not be so dangerous and you can be safe. Live your life happily."

After saying this, Uzumaki Mito's expression became very serious, "Have you three really thought about all this clearly?"

Nagato looked at her silently, thoughts swirling deep in his heart.

Yes, you are right. Being a ninja is such a dangerous thing. Not to mention your grandson died on the battlefield. I don’t know how many Five Shadows died on the battlefield in the past. Even one of the Twelve Xiaoqiang died. , if possible, I don’t want to be a ninja, let alone go to the battlefield to kill people. I never even killed a chicken in my previous life.

If possible, I also want to live an ordinary life peacefully and happily.

But, I have no choice.
