Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

Jiraiya still managed to survive.

In a subtle way.

The one being patted on the head was Tsunade, and the one doing the action was Jiraiya.

"It's alright now, Tsunade."

"have a finger in the pie."

Having said that, Jiraiya is still alive and well.

"It will kill you."

Jiraiya was thrown into a corner of the room by Tsunade with "extreme tenderness", and even if she pretended to care about him, it was only for Orochimaru.

"I've already told you that Tsunade and I aren't in that kind of relationship."

"This is not something that only lovers would do."

He just did what he thought Tsunade needed.

In fact, Tsunade looked like she really needed it.

The fact that he can still breathe here is the best evidence.

What can be called "emotion" between people is not just love.

But Orochimaru will never understand this kind of thing until he dies.

A cold-blooded animal that has long since merged with snakes.

"So you won't kill me."

But Jiraiya thinks it's good for Orochimaru to maintain the status of a cold-blooded animal.

The man got up from the ground, shook off the dust, and now it was time to get down to business.

Although Tsunade puts Tobirama's wish first, now is obviously not the time to take him away casually.

Even if Nora went with them, what would happen after that?

The war is still in its white-hot stage. Once this mission is completed, we will move on to the next one.

What to do with three children?

Jiraiya's eyes moved up and landed on Neji lying on the bed.

He wasn't dressed well, just the same coarse cloth bathrobe that you could find anywhere.

Wearing a yukata in this weather is exclusive to the "poor" in war.

I don't know which corpse it was taken from and put on.

The edges and corners were roughened in many places, with threads flying around wantonly, revealing the owner's fair skin.

But both the children and the nora were dressed neatly.

The beggar-style clothes were made to look like those of a commoner - but when worn by Nora, it added a sense of incongruity to the life of a young master.

It's not a state, but a disharmony in every gesture.

Just because he is not a young master doesn't mean he has never seen a young master.

He has seen types like Tsunade who grew up in a wild way, and he has also seen types like Uchiha and Hyuga who had strict and almost harsh family education.

There is no doubt that Nora is the child taught by Hinata.

Sticks and sugar will irrigate the depths of the soul, and no matter how much time has passed, its traces cannot be diluted.

Children's emotions come and go quickly.

In less than half an hour, the three children were sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, with their backs straight and their hands placed properly.

You can tell at a glance who taught it.

Jiraiya could see that Tsunade was in a bad mood, so he took a step forward to the left and spoke first.

"So, what's your answer?"

"Will you come back to Konoha with us, or stay here?"

He thought he would see confusion, choice, and hesitation in Nora's eyes - after all, when Nora first learned that Lord Tobirama was dying, he was so shaken.

But he didn't.

The pure white eyes were calm and expressionless; the owner had already made his choice.

"At least now, I can't go with you."

At least for now?

So what happens afterwards?

One day? One year? Or a certain point in time when Master Tobirama had already passed away?

Jiraiya put his hands on his waist, and since the other party had given him an answer, he no longer forced it.

"But you have to know..."

This is not an argument, it's just a well-intentioned advice.

"It's hard to say when the old man will die."

It could be today, or it could be tomorrow.

The longer the time is, the more uncontrollable it becomes.

What's more, the three of them will not stay here forever. Once the front line sends information, they will set off immediately.

Once you miss it, it can't be simply explained by the word "regret".

There was no way Nora didn't know.

The only thing that can make Nora make a decision now is something that Nora knows but they don’t know.

The so-called information gap is also an unbridgeable gap between mutual understanding between people.

Understanding is not a universal solution. Even if information is everywhere, they still meet and still move forward with their companions.

Now, Jiraiya wanted to hear Nora's opinion.

He saw the young man look up, with some sadness in his eyes.

"Even if I can't see..."

"It's just that we are not destined to be together."

Not necessarily.

But it's just destiny.

The wind blew open the curtains, and the soft fabric wrapped around the boy leaning on the bed.

The air after the rain, mixed with the smell of grass juice, filled the entire room.

Neji spoke again, but his eyes were already turned to the door.

"At least now, both you and we have something we have to do."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the room.

There are two rooms, and one of them is bound to be empty.

This time, it was Orochimaru who opened the door.

The person standing outside the door was not a male ninja.

The dusty female ninja was holding an iron sign.

That is the keepsake of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Lord Hokage will stay in Konoha to handle matters remotely and will not directly participate in the war in the short term.

The one that came in place of Sarutobi Hiruzen was his brand.

A ninjutsu that can save the holder's life is sealed within it.

And now, the sign held by the female ninja has been burned by flames - it looks like it has been used.

"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Orochimaru-sama..."

...

The farewell was so hasty that Tsunade didn't even have time to look back at Neji.

The mysterious wandering merchant once again sells miracles.

If he had agreed, the Sannin would never be here now.

And the news about the female ninja will never be delivered immediately.

From here to the main battlefield, measured by a ninja's walking speed, it would only take ten minutes at most.

Is this the right time, right place and right people?

No, Tsunade was running fast among the tree trunks and branches.

This is someone making a sacrifice.

Someone is being sacrificed.

But if Grandpa Tobirama knew this, he would probably make the same decision as Nora.

Sensei Sarutobi always talks about the Will of Fire, but Grandpa Tobirama rarely mentions it.

Even Nora, from the first time they met to this farewell, had never heard the word "Will of Fire" from the other party's mouth once.

It makes sense that Grandpa Tobirama's last wish was to see him.

Tsunade ran in the front, her golden hair fluttering in the wind.

It won't become a matter of destiny, never.

...

There are two rooms, and they are connected.

But no one opened the door and went into the other room.

The children still maintained their original posture, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Neji motionlessly.

This time, it was not Xiaonan who spoke first.

It was Nagato.

"Are you leaving, Nora-nii-nii?"

For the Konoha ninjas, it is too late unless they set off now.

After all, it is hard to say how long Tobirama can hold on.

But for three children, at least one now is enough to make them sad.

But at least you won’t leave now?

So the next time the Konoha ninja comes again and makes the same request, will Nora leave?

Nagato's voice now sounded peculiarly astringent.

Logically speaking, just six days is not enough to create real dependence.

The so-called reluctance will not be real.

At most, it's just a reluctance to give up my current life.

Nagato thought that there should be.

Whether it is dependence or reluctance.

Those are arguments for ordinary people, but this is not an ordinary situation, and they are definitely not ordinary people.

He has it, he must have it.

Even if he is the smallest among the three.

Some questions should be asked by people like him.

Language is magical.

There are always people who have unrealistic imaginations about the power of language.

For example, now

Nagato knew very well what his two companions were planning by not speaking.

As long as you don’t ask, as long as you don’t say, it won’t happen, right?

This is wrong. This is a wrong decision made by people in desperation.

Prayer is positive, so now their choice is the negative opposite of positive prayer.

Then Nagato spoke.

"Are you going to leave us, Nora-nii-nii."

In other words, Nora was not the one who should have stayed here.

"You can't imagine yourself staying here, can you?"

Nagato continued. He had always been a timid child, without any opinions of his own, and rarely made his own decisions.

The moment when I was dominated by "anger" was also a rare abnormality in my life.

But now, it's different.

Nagato felt different, and at this point, he had to speak up.

It can be considered as making up for the wrong thing I did just now.

He heard the sobbing sound of the girl next to him and saw the young man with a white eye wiping away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with his fingertips.

And after the other party hesitated, he slowly nodded.

Neji really couldn't imagine himself staying here.

On the contrary, he will be leaving soon.

Whether the mission succeeds or fails, there is only one ending waiting for Neji.

He does not belong to this world, and he will not stay here for long.

The three children next to them all have their own plans.

Xiaonan is the one who has lived with him the longest and is the closest to a family member.

Among the three, Xiaonan must be the one who finds it hardest to accept separation.

Four years is neither long nor short.

For Xiaonan, who was still a little girl, this could almost summarize her entire life.

But girls always grow up, and when the time comes for them to meet, these four years will be just a fragment.

Although it is a little long, it is just a fragment.

In the future life, Xiaonan will undoubtedly gain many more fragments.

There will definitely be happier and more memorable experiences than these four years.

As for Yahiko, it’s even simpler.

This child should be able to achieve something.

Perhaps even Yahiko himself did not realize that the main reason he was reluctant to leave Neji was because he could not learn ninjutsu and become stronger.

There will be a stronger and better teacher to teach Yahiko ninjutsu in the near future.

Then there was only Nagato left - six days, just six days.

As long as the so-called suspension bridge effect does not continue to develop, nothing will happen after you wake up from a few sleeps.

Lord Jiraiya also came to teach me the Rinnegan.

"We are companions."

Neji whispered to the three children.

"Even if we are separated, we are still companions."

Someone had once told Neji these boring words, but now they were unexpectedly useful.
