Chapter 426
‘Do these people think too highly of me?’ Jiraiya looked at the sky with a smile on his face.
He admitted that he did have a dream of peace in the ninja world, but this dream must include Konoha!
If Konoha must be sacrificed for the sake of peace in the ninja world, then even Jiraiya would never accept it. Even peace that requires sacrificing any ninja village is something Jiraiya does not want to see.
This approach was never within Jiraiya's consideration from the beginning to the end, because that kind of peace is not true peace.
【"Once you get hurt, you will feel hatred. If you hurt others, they will hate you and you will feel guilty. But it is because you know the pain that you know how to treat others gently. This is what human beings are like." Jiraiya taught him earnestly. The young Nagato didn't understand these principles very well, so Jiraiya gave a more straightforward answer: "It means you have grown up."】
【"Growth...what does it mean?"】
【"It means you can judge right and wrong for yourself."】
【Jiraiya's teaching triggered Nagato's thinking and made him say what was in his heart: "Yahiko helped Konan and me when we were hungry and crying, and even stole other people's food...I just wanted to protect them both, no matter how much pain I felt."】
【"Obviously Jiraiya's teaching is quite normal, but in connection with Nagato's behavior later, it feels like the meaning has become that as long as we hurt each other, , after understanding this pain, we can understand each other. ”]
[“Such a correct guidance can be misinterpreted. This incident teaches us that it is better to make things clearer in the future.”]
[“In fact, after saying so much, it is because of Yahiko’s death that Nagato’s temperament changed drastically. After all, Nagato has made it clear that he just wants to protect the two of them, but what if one of the protected objects dies? Everyone’s temperament will change drastically. ”]
[“If this important person was killed by someone, it goes without saying. Just refer to Sasuke who was blackened by revenge. ”]
[“If he was really killed by someone, then there is no need to think too much about who the perpetrator is. With the character of Hanzo, how could he let an uncontrolled force appear under his nose?”]
This speculation hit the scars of Nagato and Konan, and they both sank their faces at the same time.
Thinking about it now, it seems that their behavior became so extreme from that time.
[Nagato's words inspired Jiraiya, and the "Solid Ninja Legend" was soon completed by Jiraiya. At the same time, Yahiko and the other two's ninjutsu training was getting better and better, and then on this day they worked together to defeat Jiraiya's shadow clone. 】
【"You can already defeat my shadow clone..." Jiraiya smiled slightly: "Then I can go back to the village with peace of mind."】
【Looking at the stunned expressions of the three people, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and grinned: "The next step is to rely on you. You have worked really hard in the past three years."】
【"Okay, don't cry, Yahiko, you will be regarded as a coward... Konan, you should become a beauty, let's meet again when you grow up."】
【Jiraiya turned around and took a step without hesitation, and at the same time gave the final education to the disciples behind him: "This country is still very poor, and there may be many sad things in the future. However, in the future, you will rely on your own strength to change this country."】
【"Nagato, you have grown up, right."】
【The three did not speak to keep him, and watched Jiraiya leave with firm eyes, and thanked him softly for his efforts. ]
["I actually stayed in the Hidden Rain Village for three whole years, and Konoha didn't care."]
["At that time, the war had just ended, and there was indeed no major event that Jiraiya had to deal with personally, and there were conditions for him to stay in the Hidden Rain Village."]
["Three years, uh... I remember that the Third World War started a few years after the Second World War."]
["It seems that Jiraiya went directly to the battlefield after he returned."]
["That's right. The three ninjas did become famous in the Third World War, and the other one was the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."]
["Alas, after this separation, we will be enemies when we meet again. No wonder Jiraiya said he felt disappointed."]
[Not long after Jiraiya returned to the village, in just a few years, peace was exhausted again, and the Third Ninja World War broke out. ]
[Jiraiya had no choice but to end his journey that had not yet begun, and once again plunged into the war. It was also in this war that the legendary name of the Three Ninjas of Konoha was established.. 】
【"How long will this war last, and how can it end?" Looking at the devastated battlefield, Tsunade asked in distress, and Orochimaru beside her laughed contemptuously: "This is impossible, who said that hatred can only breed hatred."】
【"Although I don't know how to do it, I can finally grasp peace. As long as someone believes, hope will exist." Jiraiya gave his answer with a gloomy face, and Orochimaru was too lazy to refute. 】
["Hey! During the Third World War, all five major countries participated! Konoha seemed to be attacked by the other four major countries at the same time. How could the three ninjas appear on the same battlefield? I clearly remember that they led the war in different battlefields."]
["This was in the early stage of the war. At that time, some countries did not participate in the war, and Konoha's manpower was not yet stretched to the point of being stretched, so the three ninjas appeared on the same battlefield."]
["Jiraiya's answers have always been so ambiguous. First, assume that peace must exist, and then as long as you don't give up, one day you will be able to fight. It will definitely come true, it feels super shameless. ”]
[“Although Nagato’s plan is ridiculous, at least he has come up with a specific action plan. No wonder Jiraiya can’t convince him, because he can only stay at verbal level here.”]
[“I don’t know what answer Naruto will give later. I want to see how he convinces Nagato.”]
[“Since Jiraiya has entrusted the future, Naruto needs to shoulder this responsibility. However, so many talented people in the past couldn’t come up with the answer. Is it really okay to rely on Naruto?”]
Naruto scratched his head in distress.
It is natural to take over Jiraiya’s mantle, but can he really answer this kind of question?
Don’t talk about others, even Naruto himself doesn’t have much confidence.
