Chapter 550： Reunion

Chapter 550 Reunion

“Six Paths City.”

Looking at the big stone standing beside the road in front of him, Jiraiya showed an interesting expression.

Since Nagato is now a Ninja ninja, Jiraiya learned about Ninja in detail, and then he became very interested in Ninja and Soyousuke.

In this era of frequent wars, there are actually top ninjas who can put aside their prejudices and give lectures to all ninjas, and have also established a ninja organization with the responsibility of maintaining peace. How could Jiraiya not be curious about this.

“It’s a good emerging town.” After entering Liudou City, Jiraiya subconsciously started walking around in Liudou City.

The Youth Martial Arts Tournament is over, and Liudao City is no longer as lively as before, but it has not become deserted either, it has just returned to normal.

Due to the strength shown by the Ninja Sect and the influence of public opinion, many people purchased properties in Liudao City.

In addition, Liudao City also received many refugees resulting from the war.

So Liudao City is essentially constantly expanding.

"There is not so much time to waste now." After walking a third of the way, Jiraiya stopped and began to inquire about Nagato.

Although his time was not so tight that he could not visit a small town, Jiraiya still wanted to spend his time communicating with the three Nagatos and understanding the Ninja Sect.

Jiraiya's way of getting information is very simple, just go to a rain ninja and ask.

After all, he came openly and openly, so there was no need to hide him.

But Yu Ninja did not directly answer Jiraiya's words. How could he answer a question asked by a random passerby to a person related to the Ninja Sect?

Then the Ninja ninja looked at Jiraiya and felt a little familiar.

"Konoha Sannin?" The Ninja ninja thought of something.

“Hmph, yes, I am one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama, a handsome man who can shut up even a crying child!” Jiraiya introduced himself politely.

"It turns out to be Jiraiya-sama. Please wait a moment. I don't know this either. I have to ask first." The Ninja ninja said with respect.

The ninja world respects the strong. As a well-known and powerful person in the ninja world today, the Sannin must maintain respect even if they are from different forces.

Jiraiya nodded and said there was no problem.

He is somewhat conscious about this.

As a well-known strong man in Konoha, he suddenly came to the Ninja sect's power quietly, so it was understandable that the other party wanted to report it.

After a while, the Ninja ninja came back and brought Jiraiya to the internal training ground of the Ninja sect station.

"Hey, why is it Teacher Jiraiya? Am I dreaming now?" Yahiko, who was practicing, noticed Jiraiya's arrival and was a little unbelievable.

He had not seen Jiraiya for a long time, or in other words, except for the three years when Jiraiya took care of them, Yahiko had never seen Jiraiya at any other time.

Not only Nagato misses the time he spent with Jiraiya, but Yahiko too.

After all, they were all lonely war orphans at that time. Compared with the life of wandering around and surviving by stealing, the three years they spent with Jiraiya were so happy.

“Hahaha, it’s really annoying to be so good. Do you miss me so much?”

Jiraiya laughed proudly and walked forward and patted Yahiko on the shoulder, carefully looking at the three Yahikos who were practicing.

Although Jiraiya didn't have the identification technique, it had been too long since he had been away from the three of them, and the height and appearance of Yahiko and the three were quite different from what he remembered.

"It turns out it was not a dream." Feeling the strength on his shoulders and Jiraiya's thick and wide palms, Yahiko's expression became excited.

“Jiraiya-sensei, I really miss you.” Yahiko said bluntly.

“Actually, me too.” Jiraiya laughed.

"Jiraiya-sensei, here it is." Konan quickly used a secret technique to make a paper flower and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya watched Konan hand him paper flowers with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but recall the scene when they first met.

At that time, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and the others had just finished fighting Hanzo, and happened to meet the Yahiko trio during the break.

Jiraiya remembers clearly that at that time, Konan and Nagato were more afraid of them and did not dare to look in the dark. Only Yahiko, who was more courageous, walked directly in front of them and asked for food.

As a return gift of food, Xiaonan folded the paper wrapped in biscuits into flowers and gave them to them as a return gift.

"Xonan, not only are you more beautiful, but your origami technology has also made great progress." Jiraiya praised without hesitation.

It was Konan's actions that made Jiraiya feel compassion. Instead of returning to Konoha with his teammates, he stayed in the Land of Rain to take care of Yahiko and his three war orphans.

At that time, Jiraiya didn’t know that Nagato had the Rinnegan, and he just regarded Nagato as an ordinary war orphan.

"Jiraiya-sensei is as handsome as ever." Konan replied with a smile.

Although we haven't seen him for a long time, Jiraiya doesn't seem to have changed much. He is almost the same as the Jiraiya in Konan's memory, but he looks more mature.

"Haha, of course." Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and smiled triumphantly, accepting Konan's compliment.

“Jiraiya-sensei.”

Nagato did not show Yahiko's blazing enthusiasm, nor did he give out gifts like Konan did. He just walked up to Jiraiya silently and called him "teacher" like before.

Jiraiya looked at Nagato, his eyes that were exactly the same as those of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

"Nagato, you are excellent and have already embarked on the path to surpass me." Jiraiya put his hand on Nagato's shoulder and showed a pleased smile.

Although Nagato is not as enthusiastic as Yahiko, nor does he pay attention to details as much as Konan, Jiraiya knows that it is not that Nagato has no feelings for him, but that it is due to Nagato's personality.

If Nagato was as enthusiastic and cheerful as Yahiko, Jiraiya would have to wonder if he had met a fake Nagato.

"I'm not as good as you said, I'm just following you." Nagato shook his head and said modestly.

"Now you are recognized by many people as the number one genius in the ninja world. Excessive modesty is not a good thing." Jiraiya asked Nagato to be more confident.

If Jiraiya could have had the momentum of Nagato, not to mention other things, he would have defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi three times a day.

"It's just a bit of a false reputation, there is still a lot to work on." Nagato did not expect that what Jiraiya was talking about was the recent rumors circulating in the ninja world.

Nagato thought that the road Jiraiya mentioned was the road to world peace.

On this path, Nagato has really just started, and is still trying to absorb the knowledge Muyue taught him.

“It’s good to be ranked first and be praised.” Yahiko sighed deliberately.

“Unlike you and me, Xiaonan, Teacher Jiraiya probably doesn’t even know that we are participating in the competition.”

 Konan saw the hint in Yahiko's eyes, but she was not good at lying and could only nod her head with a serious look, "Uh, um."

Jiraiya showed an embarrassed expression. Although he collected information and knew the rankings of Konan and Yahiko, his initial decision to return to the Land of Rain was indeed because of Nagato.

"Ahem, I actually know that Yahiko was eliminated in the first round of the knockout round, and Konan was eliminated in the second round of the knockout round." Jiraiya explained a little. "After all, this is a youth martial arts club where geniuses gather. It is normal to be eliminated early if you are unlucky. However, you have all entered the knockout round. This is still a good result worthy of celebration. Today I am treating you to a feast!"

In order to make up for the three disciples whom he had not seen for a long time, Jiraiya decided to treat them to a day of fun.

"Hey, Mr. Jiraiya, I'm just joking. Of course I know you are not that kind of person. You don't need to treat me. Now that we can make money independently, let us treat you." Yahiko said with a smile.

Jiraiya is his guide on the road of ninja. Without Jiraiya, Yahiko might have died somewhere in the chaotic rain country.

Even if you are alive, there is a high probability that you will be a mediocre ordinary person, unable to realize your ambitions.

So Yahiko was very grateful to Jiraiya, and of course he was not willing to let the teacher who had not seen him for a long time treat him as a treat.

"Let's invite Jiraiya-sensei once." Konan agreed with Yahiko's suggestion.

Jiraiya had taken care of them for three years before, so it was their turn to take care of him this time.

“How about we do it ourselves?” Nagato suggested after thinking about it.

Although treating guests was a good choice, Nagato thought it would be better to cook together.

It’s not that Nagato is too frugal, but that Nagato feels that this is more in line with the previous atmosphere.

“Nagato, you are such a genius, let’s go fishing together, like before!” Yahiko said excitedly, hugging Nagato’s neck.

After entering the Ninja Sect, Yahiko was busy studying and practicing, and was busy with various affairs of the Ninja Sect.

Yahiko thought about it carefully and realized that it had been a long time since he fished and had barbecue with Nagato and the others.

Jiraiya arrived, and it just so happened that the Ninja sect had not had many things to do recently and was relatively free. Yahiko found that today was really a perfect opportunity to go fishing.

Nagato had no objection and nodded.

"Let me check if you have forgotten the fishing skills I taught you." Jiraiya thought Yahiko's idea was a good one.

 Konan looked at Jiraiya who was laughing and Yahiko who was quickly gathering fishing equipment, and felt that everything was coming back.

“Jiraiya-sensei, don’t underestimate me, my fishing skills are now very good!” Yahiko said with pride.

Yahiko is really not bragging. During the Akatsuki Organization period, the fish Yahiko caught helped the Akatsuki Organization save a lot of money on food.

He is really experienced in fishing.

“Then let’s compete and see who can catch more fish.” Jiraiya felt an inexplicable feeling of comparison in his heart.

So the four of them found a nearby river and started fishing.

I do n’t know if it ’s a long time that I have n’t been fishing for a long time, or I’ m not as lucky today. I really can only look at Tyyan.

"A great teacher is one who teaches disciples who are better than himself." Looking at the few small fish in his bucket, Jiraiya comforted himself.

But when Jiraiya saw what Nagato and Konan caught, he immediately became happy.

At least he still had fish to bite. There were only some strange items for Konan and Nagato, and there were even shoes.

"It's okay, it's better than catching nothing at all." Jiraiya comforted him by forcing down the raised corners of his mouth.

“All things are led by heaven!”

Nagato focused his eyes on a fish in the river. He used his left hand to release the suction force to attract the fish. Then he held the fishing rod with his right hand and accurately threw the hook into the mouth of the controlled fish.

Finally, Nagato let the fish rush into the water, then he raised the rod to collect the fish, and said calmly: "I also caught one."

“Not bad.” Jiraiya gave Nagato a thumbs up.

Of course, I am not praising Nagato’s fishing skills, but praising Nagato’s control.

"In that case, I'll catch one too." Xiao Nan folded out a paper fish and held it in his hand, then used chakra to disguise it, making it look like a real fish.

“You can do it too, Xiaonan.” Jiraiya also praised.

Although they are not as good as Nagato, Konan and Yahiko are actually outstanding beings among their peers.

“Nagato and the others have changed a lot.” Jiraiya sighed inwardly after walking around.

Although he still doesn’t talk much, Nagato is actually much more cheerful than before.

If it were Nagato from before, even if he couldn't catch a fish, he wouldn't use his ninja ability to forcefully catch a fish and joke that he caught it.

Although Konan is not as obvious as Nagato, he still gives Jiraiya a more generous and optimistic feeling than before.

“I really want to know their experiences along the way.” Jiraiya felt a little regretful.

The disciple has become so outstanding, but he, the teacher, doesn’t even know why the disciple has changed.

In the end, Yahiko won the fishing competition with an overwhelming advantage.

 Nagato was just using the Wanxiang Tenyin to make a joke, and he would not really use the Wanxiang Tenyin to catch fish as fishing.

“I can only say that it’s barely okay, but there are no big fish. It’s probably because there are no big fish in this river.” Yahiko looked regretful, as if he regretted that he couldn’t eat big fish at this moment of reunion.

Hearing Yahiko's words, Nagato swept the river and then stretched out his hand to a certain place.

“All things are led by heaven!”

A fat fish that could fill a large bucket was sucked to the shore by Nagato.

Yahiko stared at this scene with wide eyes and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why is this **** fat fish eating so fat?

“The fish obtained this way has no soul!” Yahiko declared.

After the whole fish feast…

“As expected, the fish has to be big enough to be eaten vigorously. Jiraiya-sensei, your craftsmanship is still so good!” Yahiko picked up one chopstick after another, as if he couldn’t stop.

Jiraiya smiled.

He often travels around and often has no place to spend money, so he is not bad at cooking.

Of course, it’s nothing compared to Mu Yue. After eating Mu Yue’s cooking, as long as Mu Yue is within the perceptible range, Jiraiya can’t even think of cooking and just wants to eat with Mu Yue.

"Can you tell me about your experiences after I left? Maybe it will be written into a best-selling novel." Jiraiya said with a smile.

He was really curious about what Yahiko and the others did after he left, how they spent their time, and why they joined the Ninja Sect.

"Of course, you don't need to say everything, just say what you want to say." Jiraiya added.

There will inevitably be some unspeakable things in life.
