The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Not only Nagato, but Konan and Yahiko also heard these footsteps. The three of them opened their eyes almost indiscriminately, and then they saw three figures standing in the open space directly in front of them.

Nagato was slightly startled, "Jiraiya-sama, Orochimaru-sama, Tsunade-sama, it's you."

"Nagato-kun, Yahiko-kun, Nan-kun." Orochimaru looked at the three of them with interest and said in his unique hoarse voice: "It seems that the three of us have disturbed your practice. I'm really sorry."

Orochimaru had a very good attitude towards Nagato before, but this time, his attitude towards Konan and Yahiko was also much better.

As the current number one genius among the younger generation of ninjas in Konoha Village, Orochimaru has always been a very simple person.

As long as you are a genius like him, he will treat you differently and treat you well, even to a level that most people cannot imagine.

Many things that happened in the original work prove this.

When he first met the ten-year-old Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru offered to train him to become a ninja. Later, he even violated Danzo's order to silence him and secretly protected Kabuto Yakushi.

And several of Orochimaru's subordinates, such as the three sound ninjas, the four sound ninjas, Kimimaro, Suigetsu, Jugo, Koryosu and others also have talents beyond ordinary ninjas in all aspects.

Of course, the best proof of this is his attitude towards Uchiha Sasuke. From the beginning when Sasuke defected to Konoha to join him, he has always been very accommodating to Sasuke. After his resurrection after the Ninja World War, he completely changed The male nanny who had married two pillars was almost closer to Sasuke than his biological father.

Orochimaru was the first person to discover that Nagato had the Rinnegan, so there was no need to hide some things about Nagato from him. He had already learned from Tsunade how the three of Nagato refined chakra for the first time. situations and their properties.

Among them, there is no need to mention the situation of Nagato, and Konan and Yahiko are also considered to be talented, so his attitude towards them has also improved a lot.

Nagato shook his head, "Lord Orochimaru, it doesn't matter, we are almost finished refining it."

"By the way, Lord Orochimaru, are you here to see Grandma Mito for anything?"

Orochimaru denied, "No, we are not visiting Mito-sama, but you."

"Find us"

"That's right, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan." Jiraiya on the side answered, "We'll talk about refining chakra later. You three probably haven't eaten yet. Come on, I'll take you to eat. thing."

"Ah" the three of them were stunned.

The three ninjas came all the way here just to treat the three of them to dinner?

A moment later, the six of them walked into one of the most famous barbecue restaurants in Konoha Village.

After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Tsunade picked up the menu and ordered a large amount of meat one after another without blinking. It was conservatively estimated that it should be enough for at least ten people.

She wanted to vent all her anger on the barbecue.

While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Yahiko asked Jiraiya half bored and half curious: "Jiraiya-sama, why do you suddenly want to invite us to dinner?"

"Yahiko, that's it." Jiraiya smiled slightly and replied: "I'm going to leave Konoha Village for a while. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time in the future, so before I leave, I want to When I see you again, let’s treat it as your farewell to me.”

"Ah, Lord Jiraiya, you are leaving Konoha" Jiraiya's words shocked Yahiko, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do?"

As soon as the words came out, Yahiko's expression changed instantly and he waved his hand quickly, "I'm sorry, did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?"

Ninjas have many secret missions that cannot be told to others. As soon as Yahiko finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Jiraiya was not going to perform any secret mission.

"Haha." Jiraiya laughed at Yahiko's exaggerated reaction, "Yahiko, don't worry, it's not as complicated as you think, and you actually know it."

"Didn't I tell you before that my creation of the Strong and Perseverance Ninjaden has hit a bottleneck, and there is no way to break through if I am always bored at home. So this time I left Konoha, just to have a good tour of the ninja world. , so as to inspire my creativity.”

"That's it." Yahiko breathed a long sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but said: "Jiraiya-sama, when you write the follow-up content of the Strong and Perseverance Nindenden, you must tell us as soon as possible, I am I can’t wait to know what Naruto’s experience will be like later.”

Jiraiya promised: "Don't worry, you and Konan are my most important book fans, I will definitely show it to you first."

Well, actually, you two are not the most important book fans, but the only book fans, and no one wants to read it except you.

Orochimaru looked at Yahiko and asked: "Yahiko-kun, do you like reading Jiraiya's novels?"

"That's right." Yahiko nodded and replied excitedly: "Master Orochimaru, Master Jiraiya's story of strong and persevering Ninja is really good, especially the protagonist Naruto, I really like it."

"Really?" Orochimaru smiled and said nothing more.

Jiraiya was leaving Konoha for the novel. Nagato, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly.

No, this is impossible, he shook his head inwardly.

It is very clear in the original book of Naruto that Jiraiya is a person who implements the will of fire just like the third generation of Hokage. For Konoha, he can even kill his favorite woman, Tsunade. Now the war in Konoha is not over yet, he There was no way he was leaving the village at a time like this for a novel.

So, if not for the novel, for what reason?

It didn't take long for Nagato to come up with a possibility.

Could it be said that Jiraiya is going to find the Child of Destiny?

At first glance, this idea seemed ridiculous, but the more Nagato thought about it, the more he realized that this was the truth of the matter.

Unlike the original work, the reason why Jiraiya regarded Nagato as the child of destiny was because he saw Nagato's reincarnation eye.

And now the first person to discover that he has the Samsara Eye is not Jiraiya, but Orochimaru. He was brought back to Konoha. He didn't have much actual contact with Jiraiya. He lived with him like in the original book. The situation was even more different, so Jiraiya didn't think about him in the direction of the Destiny Child at all.

After all, the Great Toad Sage's prediction was that Jiraiya could only meet the Son of Destiny after traveling through the ninja world. This would cause a misunderstanding. Moreover, the Child of Destiny predicted by the Great Toad Sage was not Nagato, but Naruto. Since Laiya did not meet Naruto until he returned to Konoha after traveling around the ninja world.

Jiraiya believed that three people were the children of destiny, the first was Nagato, the second was Namikaze Minato, and the third was Naruto.

So without thinking that Nagato is the child of destiny, he must think that the child of destiny is still waiting for him somewhere in the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Nagato shook his head again. Unfortunately, Jiraiya was destined to be in vain. The person he first recognized as the child of destiny had already come to Konoha, but the real child of destiny was not born. This trip is destined to return in vain.

Of course, although Nagato felt a pity, he could only let Jiraiya leave Konoha and could not stop him, because he could not explain why he knew this, let alone why he knew the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

For Nagato, the most important thing is himself, and everything must be done to protect himself, so he can only say sorry in his heart.

Not long after, the barbecue was brought up, and everyone started eating. Tsunade was like a wind and a cloud, at least half of the food was swallowed by her.

After having their fill of wine and food, the six of them walked out of the barbecue restaurant and slowly walked towards the gate of Konoha Village.

"Jiraiya-sama." Standing in front of the gate, Yahiko looked at Jiraiya with some reluctance, "How long will it take you to come back this time?"

"Almost three years." Jiraiya smiled slightly, "I think three years have allowed me to finish writing the biography of strong perseverance."

Of course, the Third Hokage cannot let Jiraiya wander around the ninja world indefinitely. The time limit he set for Jiraiya is three years. During these three years, Jiraiya can go wherever he likes, as long as he does not surrender to the enemy. It doesn't matter, but after three years, he must return to Konoha to shoulder his responsibilities as a Konoha ninja.

If he has not come back for more than three years, he will be regarded as a traitor and ninjas will be sent to hunt him down.

"Three years? It's a long time." Yahiko felt a little depressed when he heard this. In his heart, besides Uzumaki Mito, Jiraiya was the best to them in Konoha Village. He also liked staying with Jiraiya very much. Together.

Jiraiya smiled, reached out and touched Yahiko's head, "Haha, Yahiko, you don't have to be like this. I don't have to come back after three years. Maybe I will have inspiration as soon as I leave Konoha. That won't happen." I'll be back in a few days."

"By the way, I almost forgot about that."

Jiraiya seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He reached out and took out a book from his arms, handed it to Yahiko, and said, "Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, this is for you."

"Jiraiya-sama, what is this?" Yahiko took the book and took a look. He found that there was nothing on the cover and immediately looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

Jiraiya explained: "This book records some basic ninjutsu, which is very suitable for novice ninjas to learn. Don't you want to become an excellent ninja? To become an excellent ninja, you don't need to know ninjutsu."

"I have already made a selection. These are all ninjutsu that match your chakra attributes. You can try to learn them when your chakra level increases."

"Jiraiya-sama." The three of them looked at Jiraiya with emotion. Everyone knew how important ninjutsu was, especially for civilian ninjas.

Xiaonan is a girl, more emotional, and her eyes have already gathered a layer of mist.

Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this, it's just a small thing, there's no need to be like this."

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, goodbye." Jiraiya nodded to Tsunade and Orochimaru, then looked down at the three of them, and said with a smile: "Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, I will be back soon, I hope that By then, you three have become qualified ninjas."

After saying that, he turned around and left with long strides without looking back.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Jiraiya's back gradually turned into a small black dot, and finally disappeared completely.
