Chapter 52: Chapter ? Do you have the strength to do this?

Chapter 52 Dialogue? Do you have the ability?

Inside the cave, the bonfire was bright.

After reminiscing about the past, both of them felt much calmer.

Jiraiya, Yahiko and Konan were eating barbecue and chatting while eating.

"Teacher, the situation in Rain Country is similar to that in Wave Country. Can peace be achieved by doing something similar to what you did in Wave Country?"

"Um……"

Jiraiya didn't answer immediately.

The situation in the Land of Waves is definitely different from that in the Land of Rain.

There is no ninja village in the Wave Country now. Everyone can reach a neutral and win-win agreement at the national and ninja village levels to meet the requirements of all parties except the Water Country that needs to expand at sea.

It is for this reason that this plan was successfully implemented and the current state of peace was achieved.

The Land of Rain has the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo, so it is destined to be impossible to copy them. As for achieving peace for everyone through dialogue and mutual understanding...

It’s probably difficult!
Jiraiya's face was burning.

A big reason why Yahiko has his current thoughts is that he was influenced by him.

His current thinking is slightly different from the past, so he can think of the flaws in his past thinking, but when it comes to specifically solving the problems of the Rain Country, he has no answer in his heart.

Jiraiya glanced towards Kyouhiko.

Need help?

hateful!

Who is the apprentice?

Jiraiya, ah Jiraiya, you are so outrageous!

"Kyohiko, what do you think?"

"what?"

Jingyan was at a loss.

Aren't you here to test the effects of ninjutsu?

Why is it my business too?
Not only was he stunned, Yahiko and Konan were also dumbfounded. They looked at Jiraiya in astonishment, and for a moment they couldn't understand what Jiraiya meant -

This is a big thing, the teacher asked a child...

No matter how talented or capable Jing Yan is, does he still know the meaning of peace and war?
Maybe a test?

They looked at Jiraiya, then at Kyouhiko.

"The Rain Country is not quite the same as the Wave Country."

Jing Yan pondered for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.

Yahiko felt amused, but he still pretended to be serious and replied seriously, "What do you mean?"

"The conflict in Wave Country can be resolved peacefully, provided that the only one who suffers is the Water Country. At that time, the enemies that my teacher and I encountered in Wave Country were mostly from the Water Country."

Jingyan answered.

Yahiko originally had some intention of helping with the questions, but soon, he no longer had such thoughts and listened to Kyohiko attentively.

After he finished speaking, he still felt unsatisfied.

"What about our Rain Country?"

"I don't know about the Rain Country, but your national strength is definitely stronger than the Wave Country, and you are directly sandwiched between three major countries. If you want peace..."

difficult!
Kyohiko looked at Jiraiya.

"Teacher, I'm young and don't know what to do. Do you have an answer?"

"..."

I have a hammer answer.

Jiraiya complained inwardly.

If he wants an answer, he doesn't have to remain silent until now.

"The situation in the Rain Country is indeed different from that in the Wave Country. I have been thinking hard for the past two or three years but have not found any answer, so... Sorry, I have embarrassed you, teacher."

Yahiko sighed, realizing that Jiraiya had no good solution.

Come to think of it, Jiraiya must have a way. He would have reached the Rain Country long ago without them coming to him.

They believe in teachers.

"But, Senior Yahiko, there is something I am not sure if I should say."

Jingyan hesitated for a moment and decided to take advantage of it.

Yahiko turned his head and swore solemnly: "Please believe me and the teacher that today's conversation will not be heard by anyone except Nagato, otherwise I will be cut into pieces!"

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, but finally held his words back.

He has no desires and is not afraid of slander or rumors.

Where is Jingyan?
The child is only eight years old, extremely talented and has a bright future. If he is caught by Danzo's men because he is not keeping things secret, he will be doomed to death.

"I don't know the situation in your Rain Country, but I think you need to consider one thing..."

Jingyan asked, "Do you have the ability to talk to Hanzo?"

Hanzo?

With Hanzo... Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Yes!

Yahiko and his companions are developing their own power in the Land of Rain, which is equivalent to a ninja organization outside of the family form secretly developing in the Land of Fire.

It would be fine if they didn't know, but once it was known, would Konoha give up?
Never will.

His expression was serious.

"Yes, Yahiko, only by surviving first can there be a future. Are you qualified now to let Hanzo and Heqi sit down and talk?"

Why did the Wave Country thing succeed?

Because the interest groups centered on Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village are enough to deter the Water Kingdom.

The basis of dialogue is strength.

The current Yahiko obviously does not have the ability to compete with Hanzo, so the survival and continuation of the organization depends on Hanzo's mood.

"The ability to talk to Hanzo..."

Yahiko muttered to himself, and then a look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.

He understood what Kyouhiko and Jiraiya meant.

but.

That’s why Yahiko was shocked—

The teacher was initially misled by him and kept thinking about how to achieve peace, until the child in front of him hit the nail on the head, and then he realized the crisis they were facing.

No wonder the teacher brought him here...

Yahiko is very smart.

He quickly realized that a person's thinking and ideas would not change suddenly. The teacher must have had many changes in his ideas and behavior patterns after meeting Jingyan.

otherwise.

Why didn’t the teacher take any action before this year?
This child is the key!

Yahiko's eyes were eager, but then they became dark again.

It's a pity that he is from Konoha.

He bit his lip in thought, scratching his hair in distress.

"At present, Master Hanzo has not shown any unusual attitude, and the reason we are together is to help the Rain Country. If we leave the Rain Country..."

Nothing can be accomplished without unity of mind.

Yahiko knew that if the philosophy of a team collapsed, it would not be far from destruction.

"There is a place that is still in chaos and blankness."

Jingyan reminded.

Yahiko said: "Kawa no Kuni?!"

The Kingdom of Rivers, located south of the Kingdom of Rain, is currently a country without any ninja villages. It is full of wandering samurai and wandering ninjas. It is a no-man's land.

however.

It is also a country caught in the middle.

Once the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire go to war, the ninja organization in the Kingdom of Rivers may be targeted and may even face the risk of being wiped out.

of course.

If you are strong enough, you will have the opportunity to become a mercenary...

Jingyan didn't explain it very clearly, but Jiraiya was very familiar with this. As long as he took the lead, Jiraiya would quickly sort out the situation.

Yahiko's face switched between confusion, excitement and worry.

Going to the River Country?
Xiaonan thought for a while and said worriedly: "If we want to go to the Kingdom of Rivers, we should go south, right? Otherwise, we will be easily attacked from both sides."

"Ah."

Yahiko nodded.

Although it is jumping from one quagmire to another, at least there is no ninja village in River Country at present.

In the short term, they can develop in secret and safely.

"No matter what you choose, only by becoming strong enough can you have a say and truly influence a country. Before that, you must survive carefully, especially Nagato."

Jiraiya didn't elaborate on Nagato's matter.

But he believed that Yahiko and Konan could understand.

Yahiko and Konan bowed deeply to Jiraiya and Kyouhiko.

Then, Yahiko said, "Teacher, Kyohiko, thank you! I am no longer confused now."

"I hope we won't meet on the battlefield."

There were some things that were inappropriate for Jiraiya to say, but Kyōhiko still had to say them.

He doesn't want to "aid the enemy".

Yahiko said solemnly: "Definitely not. Our goal is peace. I will convey any possible news to you as soon as possible."
