Chapter 550 Reunion

"Six Paths City."

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

Because Nagato is now a ninja of the Shinobi Sect, Jiraiya learned about the Shinobi Sect in detail, and then became very interested in the Shinobi Sect and Sosuke.

In this age of frequent wars, there are actually top ninjas who can put aside their prejudices and give lectures to all ninjas, and even establish a ninja organization whose mission is to maintain peace. How can Jiraiya not be curious?

"It's a nice new town." After entering Six Paths Castle, Jiraiya subconsciously began to stroll around the city.

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

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

In addition, Liudao City also accepted a large number of refugees and displaced persons resulting from the war.

So Liudao City is actually constantly expanding.

"We don't have that much time to waste now." After walking a third of the way, Jiraiya focused and started to inquire about Nagato's news.

Although his time was not so tight that he could not visit the entire town, Jiraiya still wanted to spend his time communicating with Nagato and the other two, and learning about the Ninja Clan.

Jiraiya's method of getting information was very simple, he just went to ask a Rain Ninja directly.

After all, he came here openly, so there is no need to hide anything.

But the Rain Ninja did not directly answer Jiraiya's questions. How could he answer a random passerby asking a question to a person related to the Ninja Clan?

Then the Shinobi looked at Jiraiya and felt inexplicably familiar.

"The Three Ninjas of Konoha?" The Ninja of the Shinobi Clan remembered something.

"Hehe, that's right. I am Lord Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas, a handsome man who can even make a crying child shut up!" Jiraiya introduced himself without hesitation.

"It's Lord Jiraiya. Please wait a moment. I don't know about this. I have to ask first." The Shinobi said with respect.

In the ninja world, the strong are respected. As the three well-known strong men in the ninja world today, even those from different forces must show respect to them.

Jiraiya nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

He was somewhat aware of this.

As a well-known strong man in Konoha, he suddenly came to the Ninja Clan's forces without making any noise, so it was understandable that the other party had to inform them.

After a while, the Shinobi clan ninja came back and took Jiraiya to the internal training ground of the Shinobi clan headquarters.

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

He hadn't seen Jiraiya for a long time, or rather, except for the three years when Jiraiya took care of them, Yahiko had never seen Jiraiya at any other time.

Not only Nagato but Yahiko also missed the time he spent with Jiraiya.

After all, they were all helpless war orphans at the time. Compared to wandering around and surviving by stealing and picking up things, the three years they spent with Jiraiya were much happier.

"Hahaha, being too good really is a troublesome thing. Do you miss me that much?"

Jiraiya laughed triumphantly and walked up to pat Yahiko on the shoulder, carefully looking at Yahiko and the other two who were training.

Although Jiraiya did not have the ability to identify, it had been too long since he left the three people. The height and appearance of Yahiko and the other two were quite different from what he remembered.

"It turns out that this was not a dream." Feeling the strength on his shoulder and Jiraiya's thick and broad palm, Yahiko's expression became excited.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I really miss you." Yahiko said bluntly.

"Me too, actually." Jiraiya laughed.

"Teacher Jiraiya, here you go." Konan quickly used a secret technique to make a paper flower and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked at Konan handing him a paper flower with a smile on her face, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting.

At that time, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and others had just finished fighting with Hanzo, and happened to meet Yahiko and his three companions during their break.

Jiraiya remembered it very clearly. At that time, Konan and Nagato were both afraid of them and stayed in the dark, not daring to watch. Only the brave Yahiko walked directly up to them and asked for food.

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

"Konan, not only have you become more beautiful, but your origami skills have also improved greatly." Jiraiya praised her generously.

It was Konan's actions that moved Jiraiya to sympathize with them. He did not return to Konoha with his teammates, but stayed in the Land of Rain to take care of Yahiko and the other three war orphans.

At that time, Jiraiya didn't know that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, and he just treated Nagato as an ordinary war orphan.

"Teacher Jiraiya is as handsome as ever." Konan praised in return with a smile.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Jiraiya doesn't seem to have changed much. He is almost the same as the Jiraiya in Konan's memory, just that he looks a little more mature.

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

"Jiraiya-sensei."

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

Jiraiya looked at Nagato, at the pair of eyes that were exactly the same as the legendary Six Paths Sage's.

"Nagato, you are excellent and have already embarked on the path of surpassing me." Jiraiya put his hand on Nagato's shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Although Nagato is not as enthusiastic as Yahiko, nor does he pay attention to details like Konan, Jiraiya knows that it is not that Nagato has no feelings for him, but that it is 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 say. I'm just following behind you." Nagato shook his head modestly.

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

If Jiraiya had the same reputation as Nagato, he would have confronted Sarutobi Hiruzen three times a day, not to mention anything else.

"It's just some false reputation. There is still a lot to work on." Nagato didn't expect that Jiraiya was talking about the rumors circulating in the ninja world recently.

Nagato thought that the path Jiraiya was talking about was the path to world peace.

On this path, Nagato has indeed just started out and is still trying to absorb the knowledge that Mu Yue is teaching him.

"It's good to get first place. I can be praised." Yahiko deliberately sighed.

"Unlike you and me, Konan, I guess Jiraiya-sensei probably doesn't even know we're participating in the competition."

Konan noticed the hint in Yahiko's eyes, but she was not good at lying so she could only look serious and nodded, "Uh, yeah."

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

"Ahem, actually I do know. Yahiko, you were eliminated in the first round of the elimination round, and Konan was eliminated in the second round." Jiraiya explained a little. "After all, this is a youth martial arts tournament full of geniuses. It's normal to be eliminated early due to bad luck. But you all made it to the elimination round, which is still a good result worth celebrating. Today I'll treat you all to a good meal!"

In order to compensate the three disciples whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Jiraiya decided to treat them to a good meal for a day.

"Hehe, Teacher Jiraiya, I was just kidding. Of course I know you are not that kind of person. You don't have to treat us. Now that we can make money independently, let us treat you." Yahiko said with a smile.

Jiraiya was his guide on the road to becoming a ninja. Without Jiraiya, Yahiko might have died in some corner of the chaotic Rain Country.

Even if I were alive, I would most likely be an ordinary person who does nothing and would not be able to realize my ambitions.

So Yahiko was very grateful to Jiraiya, and of course he was reluctant to let his long-lost teacher treat him.

"Let's ask Teacher Jiraiya for help this time." Konan agreed with Yahiko's suggestion.

Jiraiya had taken care of them for three years, so this time it should be their turn to take care of Jiraiya.

"How about we do it ourselves?" Nagato suggested after thinking for a moment.

Although treating is a good option, Nagato thinks it would be better to cook together.

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

"Nagato, you are such a genius. Let's go fishing together, like we did before!" Yahiko said excitedly, hugging Nagato's neck.

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

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

Jiraiya arrived, and it happened that there was not much going on in the Ninja Clan recently and it was relatively quiet. Yahiko found that today was a perfect time 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 good.

Konan looked at Jiraiya who was laughing and Yahiko who was quickly collecting all the fishing equipment, and she felt that everything had come back to her.

"Teacher Jiraiya, don't underestimate me. My fishing skills have reached perfection now!" Yahiko said proudly.

Yahiko is not exaggerating. During the Akatsuki period, the fish that Yahiko caught helped Akatsuki save a lot of money on food.

When it comes to fishing, he is really experienced.

"Then let's have a competition to see who can catch more fish." Jiraiya felt an inexplicable desire to compete.

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

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t fished for a long time and my fishing skills have dropped, or if my luck today is not as good as Yahiko’s, but Jiraiya could only watch Yahiko catch one fish after another and finally explode.

"A good teacher is one who can teach students who are better than himself." Jiraiya comforted himself while looking at the few small fish in his bucket.

However, when Jiraiya saw what Nagato and Konan caught, he was immediately happy.

At least he still had some fish on the hook, while Konan and Nagato only had some strange items, even a pair of shoes.

"It's okay, it's better than catching nothing." Jiraiya comforted him, forcing down the corner of his mouth.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Nagato focused his eyes on a fish in the river, released suction with his left hand to attract the fish, then 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 lifted the rod and pulled the fish in, saying calmly, "I caught one, too."

"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." Xiaonan folded a paper fish and held it in his hand, then used chakra to camouflage it so that it looked like a real fish.

"You can do it too, Konan." Jiraiya also praised.

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

"Nagato and the others have changed a lot." Jiraiya sighed after taking a walk around.

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

If it was the previous Nagato, even if he couldn't catch any fish, he wouldn't use his ninja abilities to force a fish out and then jokingly say that he caught one.

Although Konan is not as obvious as Nagato, she gives Jiraiya the impression that she is more generous and optimistic than before.

"I really want to know what they experienced along the way." Jiraiya said with some regret.

The disciple became so outstanding, but he, as his teacher, didn't even know why the disciple changed.

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

Nagato was just using the Wanxiang Tianyin as a joke, he wouldn't really use it to catch fish.

"I can only say it's just barely okay, but there aren't any big fish. I guess there are no big fish in this river." Yahiko made a regretful look, as if he was regretting that he couldn't get a big fish at this moment of reunion.

After hearing what Yahiko said, Nagato glanced at the river and then stretched out his hand towards a certain spot.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

A fat fish big enough to fill a large bucket was sucked ashore by Nagato.

Yahiko stared at the scene with wide eyes and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. This damn fat fish, why did it eat so much to get fat?

"The fish obtained in this way has no soul!" Yahiko declared.

After the fish feast...

"As expected, the fish has to be big enough to be enjoyable to eat. Teacher Jiraiya, your cooking skills are still so good!" Yahiko picked up one piece of fish after another with chopsticks, looking like he couldn't stop.

Jiraiya smiled.

He often travels around and often has no place to spend his money, so he is quite good at cooking.

Of course, there is no comparison with Mu Yue. After eating the food made by Mu Yue, as long as Mu Yue is within the perception range, Jiraiya has no intention of cooking at all. He just wants to find Mu Yue for a free meal.

"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 daily lives, and why they joined the Ninja Clan.

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

There are bound to be some things in life that are difficult to talk about.
