To be honest, ever since Yahiko was killed by the people of Konoha Village, Konan and Nagato no longer believed in Jiraiya. He kept saying that people should understand each other, but Nagato's parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and Yahiko was also killed by Konoha people. If Konan and Nagato continued to believe in Jiraiya, they might have died by now.

They no longer believe in any ninja from a big country, even Jiraiya. If he dared to step into the Hidden Rain Village again, they would also swing their swords at him.

They used to want to believe in others, but all the people in the family's household register had died, and now there were only the last two pages of Nagato and Konan on it. They really didn't have the confidence and capital to believe in anyone anymore.

Although Jiraiya came back, he came to commemorate them. If Nagato was here, he might have the heart to start a war, but Konan still couldn't do it.

So, she used the Shikigami no Mai to reshape her clothes, and changed the black-bottomed auspicious cloud robe of the Akatsuki organization into an ordinary black robe to face Jiraiya and the strange yellow-haired Konoha.

"...Teacher, long time no see." She raised her hand and greeted him awkwardly.

How should she face Jiraiya today? Is he a mentor or an enemy?

Chapter 142 Danzo again?

"Konan, you have grown up." Jiraiya's eyes showed a fatherly tenderness.

Konan's mood was very complicated because she didn't know how to face Jiraiya. She wanted to regard him as an enemy, but his actions really made her unable to bear to do so.

"Where are Nagato and Yahiko? Why are they not with you?" Jiraiya looked at the lonely Konan, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Konan took a deep breath and said sadly, "They...are all dead. I am so useless that I hurt them..."

"No wonder..." Jiraiya's last doubt disappeared. No wonder he received the news of their death that year. It seems that Nagato and Yahiko tried their best to save Konan's life before they died.

He didn't doubt that the two apprentices would do this, because the three of them were as close as blood-related family members. No, even most of the biological siblings were not as close and trusting as they were.

As long as there was a chance, any one of them would be willing to sacrifice himself for the other two, and would protect each other with all his life while he was still alive.

"Konan...don't blame yourself. If you were in their position, you would definitely do the same. Nagato and Yahiko sacrificed their lives for you, not to see you looking so sad now." Jiraiya took two steps forward and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her as he did before.

But Xiaonan subconsciously took two steps back, and this small action made Jiraiya feel a pang in his heart.

More than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye. During these years, many unexpected things must have happened to them. The original master-disciple relationship may have been erased in time.

Xiaonan also realized that there was something wrong with his subconscious action, and said apologetically: "Sorry... Teacher. The night when Yahiko was killed by Hanzo, people from Konoha were also present."

"What?" Jiraiya's kind expression just disappeared in an instant, replaced by anger: "Who is it?"

He was angry not only because his apprentice was killed, but this was not even the biggest reason. Jiraiya was most angry because someone had defiled the most sacred and inviolable Konoha Village in his mind.

The amount of information contained in Xiaonan's words just now was very large. When Hanzo killed Yahiko, people from Konoha were also there, which meant that people from Konoha were secretly having an affair with the Hidden Rain Village.

Jiraiya believed that he had a thorough grasp of intelligence from all over the world over the years, and he was basically aware of major events within Konoha, but he had never heard of any form of communication and cooperation between Konoha and Yuyin.

Who was that person? When did he get involved with a dangerous person like Hanzo? What was his purpose?

Hanzo was considered a top ninja in a certain period of time. Someone in Konoha secretly communicated with him, and he must have a big plan.

Jiraiya's angry look made Xiaonan briefly feel the warmth when the master and apprentice were together, so she explained: "It's Danzo from Konoha Village. We don't know why he wants to cooperate with Hanzo, but it probably won't be a good thing. I only know that he is in a high position in Konoha Village, and his actions, I have regarded as the actions of Konoha Village."

"Danzo... Danzo again!" After a long time, Jiraiya still felt angry when he heard this name again.

During the reign of his teacher, the Third Hokage, Danzo had caused trouble for his teacher. His desire for power had reached a pathological level. He was nominally a Hokage advisor, but his involvement in various affairs had long exceeded the scope of an advisor.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, something happened that almost caused civil strife in Konoha.

Danzo established his own armed organization "Root" under the pretext of training the Anbu. All the people in this organization were his trusted followers, no, they should be called death warriors.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Fourth Hokage died in battle, and the Third Hokage returned to power. Danzo was dissatisfied with the Third Hokage's continued rule, and actually sent a team of ten people to assassinate the Third Hokage.

Although the crisis was resolved in time and no irreversible consequences were caused, Danzo's ambition was already obvious. In order to become Hokage, he even killed his long-time friend, the Third Hokage who also trusted him greatly.

"I will find a chance to deal with him sooner or later!"

For Jiraiya, nothing is more important than the village.

He is an emotional person. He will fall in love with Tsunade because of the love between men and women, save Konan and the other two out of compassion, enjoy the master-disciple relationship with the three, and love everyone in the village.

However, all emotions must stand aside in front of the village.

If Tsunade wants to harm the village, he can be cruel enough to kill Tsunade. If Konan and the others want to harm the village, he will not be soft-hearted.

Even if it is the Fourth Hokage and Naruto, as long as they clearly want to harm the village and it is irreversible, Jiraiya can still kill them without hesitation.

In Jiraiya's eyes, Danzo has become a dangerous person who may endanger the village at any time, because he can even assassinate the Hokage for power.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, in such a turbulent period, if Danzo really killed the Third Hokage who enjoyed great prestige in the village and the ninja world, it would inevitably cause very serious and even irreparable losses to the village, but he still did it, which is enough to prove that Danzo really cares not about the village, but about his position as Hokage.

The information provided by Konan is enough to show that Danzo had colluded with Hanzo many years ago, and it is very likely that he hoped to use the power of the other party to facilitate his ascension to the position of Hokage.

For his own rights, he did not hesitate to let the wolf into the house. This guy is simply unforgivable.

"Konan, I will help you avenge Nagato and Yahiko. Even if I fail, your junior brother will definitely inherit my will and kill that guy." Jiraiya gently pushed Naruto and introduced him to Konan.

"This child is..."

When she first saw Naruto, Xiaonan was dazed for a moment, because Naruto looked very much like Yahiko when he was a child, especially the firm and unquestionable look in his eyes, which was exactly the same.

"His name is Uzumaki Naruto, my new apprentice, and he is your junior brother after more than ten years. Don't underestimate him, he is very powerful."

Naruto also cooperated and walked forward, nodding slightly to her: "Hello, senior sister."

"Senior sister...it makes people feel itchy." Xiaonan no longer had any hostility in her heart at this moment, because Jiraiya did not harm the Hidden Rain Village, and expressed enough care for their three apprentices. In addition, this child reminded her of Yahiko, Xiaonan's heart softened, her fingers moved slightly, and she pinched a paper flower out of thin air and sent it to Naruto.

"Junior brother...the ninja world is a very cruel place, you have to live well." She sent the paper flower to Naruto, as if she was instructing a junior brother she met for the first time, and as if she was confessing some regrets in her heart.

Chapter 143 Let Pein feel the pain

"Senior sister, I will definitely help you avenge your hatred. But before that... do you have some friends lying in ambush around?" Naruto pointed to the small lake next to him.

If he hadn't been able to sense the air, he wouldn't have noticed that a group of ninjas had approached the bottom of the lake at some point, and they all seemed to be quite powerful, probably ranging from Chunin to ordinary Jonin.

"It's the enemy." After being reminded by Naruto, Konan reacted instantly, and with a wave of her hand, dozens of white papers turned into detonating talismans and poured into the bottom of the lake.

As one of the actual controllers of the Hidden Rain Village, she knew the city defense arrangements of the Hidden Rain Village very well, and it was absolutely impossible for a ninja unit to be ambushed here that she didn't even know about.

The only ones who could possibly appear here were the remnants of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Since Nagato killed Hanzo of the Salamander with an overwhelming advantage a few years ago, although he had carried out a purge equivalent to the level of slaughtering nine clans, the prestige and power he had painstakingly built up over the years were too great.

To this day, there are still many of his remnants who sneak into the Hidden Rain Village from time to time, trying to assassinate Nagato and Konan.

"Ninjutsu: Paper Explosion Talisman Technique!" Konan simply made a seal, and the detonating talisman that had just been shot into the water exploded instantly, forcing the ninjas hidden under the water out.

After the other party showed his true face, Konan confirmed his identity. It was indeed the remnant of Hanzo of the Salamander, because they all wore the same gas masks as Hanzo of the Salamander.

Hanzo's attack method is mainly poison attack, so his men often wear special gas masks to prevent accidental injuries, which has become a symbol of them.

"Isn't this Hanzo's men?" Jiraiya had dealt with Hanzo of the Salamander in his early years. His title of Sannin was given by Hanzo, and he was very familiar with Hanzo and his men.

"Hanzo sees us as a thorn in his side, and this is not the first or second time he wants to get rid of us!" Konan lied to Jiraiya, making Jiraiya mistakenly believe that Hanzo was still alive, and that the group of people in front of him were sent by Hanzo to hunt Konan down.

In fact, Hanzo had long been killed by Nagato's Six Paths Pain, and these were just the remnants of the forces that came for revenge.

But this truth cannot be known to Jiraiya, because if he knew this, he would understand that the Hidden Rain Village was the base of the Akatsuki organization, and Nagato and Konan were the core figures of the Akatsuki organization.

If Jiraiya knew about this, today would not end in a happy atmosphere.

It can even be said that once this matter is exposed, only one of her and Jiraiya can survive today.

She knew that as a member of the Akatsuki organization, it was only a matter of time before she became an enemy of Jiraiya. Although the atmosphere just now seemed a little touching, they would definitely fight each other one day in the future.

However, there was still a soft spot in Xiaonan's heart, thinking about the three years of master-disciple relationship, and wanted to delay the arrival of this day as much as possible.

So, she rushed up with unprecedented momentum, and immediately fought with Hanzo's men in a fierce battle, not wanting to give them any chance to speak, lest they expose this matter.

"Paper Shuriken Technique!" Countless snow-white papers flew out of Xiaonan's body, folded in the air and turned into paper shurikens, constantly cutting the opponent's body.

While she was fighting, she heard Nagato's voice: "Konan, is there a fight going on there? I'll send Pein over there!"

"No!" Konan sternly rejected Nagato: "Nagato, just this once, it's my request, please don't show up for the time being!"

"Why?" Nagato realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Just think of it as me being crazy... I don't want to fight with Jiraiya today."

"Jiraiya? He was the one who just came to the Hidden Rain Village?!" Nagato suddenly had a murderous intention in his heart.

When he changed the Akatsuki organization from an organization dedicated to bringing peace through negotiations to a terrorist organization that accommodated rebellious ninjas, he knew that he had embarked on a path that Jiraiya could not tolerate.

Even if they were good master and apprentice, they could only draw their swords and cut each other, because Nagato was destined to bring pain to Konoha, and Jiraiya would kill all those who endangered Konoha.

Nagato had already figured this out, so in his heart, the day he and Jiraiya met again would be a day of life and death.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so soon?

What he couldn't understand even more was why Xiaonan insisted on stopping him? She had obviously been prepared for this.

While fighting, Konan told Nagato in a choked voice: "Nagato... I just told Jiraiya that you and Yahiko are dead. He was very angry and said he would help us get revenge."

"He came to the Hidden Rain Village this time just to see the place where we were together. He thought we were all dead, so he came here to commemorate us."

"Please, the next time he comes, we will definitely fight to the death, but this time, I really don't want to do it under such circumstances..."

Nagato was silent for a few seconds, and then told her in a somewhat disappointed and weak voice: "I know... But you have to put your own safety first. To me, nothing in this world is more important than you."

Jiraiya can kill anyone and do anything for the village, and so can Nagato. He can kill anyone for Konan, no matter if this person is a master, a friend, or a companion, they are far less important than his last relative.

He said he would not attack, but he had secretly controlled the Six Paths of Pain to go to the scene. If Konan encountered any danger, he would attack regardless of everything, first kill Hanzo's men, and then kill Jiraiya.

The only lucky thing was that the Six Paths of Pain were essentially controlled corpses, pure and thoughtless dead people, so they had no breath, and Naruto did not enter the Sage Mode, so he did not sense their existence.

Konan quickly killed most of Hanzo's remaining forces with a strength that impressed Jiraiya, but just as her battle was going on, her feet suddenly moved, and more than a dozen detonating tags emerged from the ground and wrapped around her feet.

Konan and Jiraiya were very familiar with this ninjutsu, which was to bury the detonating tags underground in a way similar to landmines and trigger the explosion at a critical moment. Back then, Hanzo used this detonating flame formation to injure Nagato's legs, and he also used it on Tsunade during the Ninja World War, but even though Jiraiya defended it, he did not expect that this move was also learned by his men.

"Danger!" Jiraiya was originally admiring the progress of his female apprentice, but he didn't expect to see this trick that was hard to defend against. Seeing that he couldn't save her at this distance, he could only look at Naruto who could use Flying Thunder God.

In front of Flying Thunder God, this speed was nothing.

Naruto's figure flashed, and the next second he picked up Konan and flew into the air, away from the explosion of the detonating flame formation. At the same time, he pointed a finger downward, and the continuous hole waves directly pierced the bodies of several ninjas. Although it was not fatal, it also took away their mobility.

Only one second later, the Pains hiding around were about to take action. Nagato had just regretted why he let Konan fight. Although she had the Shiki Paper Dance, she would be fine even if she was hit by the explosion, but Nagato would not allow her to suffer any possible harm.

However, Nagato was even more shocked by the instant body technique that Naruto had just performed.

That was definitely a time-space ninjutsu-level instant body-flying technique. Only the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze could achieve such a fast speed.

After thinking of the Fourth Hokage, Nagato saw Naruto's almost identical yellow short hair and suddenly had a horrifying thought in his mind.

However, before this idea could be stored in his brain, Naruto shouted in mid-air in order to solve the remaining enemies at once: "Sun Fist!!!!"

Instantly, extremely strong white light directly illuminated the area, and the people of the entire Hidden Rain Village felt that the world suddenly turned white. Hanzo's men at the scene fell on the spot, and Nagato, who was watching the scene with Six Paths of Pain at the same time, closed his eyes directly in the base and enjoyed a baby-like sleep.

Chapter 144 The Kingdom of Wind

The Six Paths of Pain created by Nagato are essentially six puppets controlled by him. Each puppet can share vision and hearing with Nagato. Usually in combat, the six puppets stand in different directions, which is equivalent to having six directions of vision, which is very useful in combat.

When making the puppets, Nagato also kept a careful eye. In addition to the visual and auditory senses that are indispensable in combat, he did not establish a connection with the puppets for perceptions such as pain, because if the pain is shared, the pain of the six puppets being hit by range skills may directly send him away.

At present, there has been no example of using the Sun Fist to perform visual attacks in the ninja world, so Nagato has never thought that there is such an outrageous skill as the Sun Fist in the world.

Six Pains shared the vision at the same time, feeding back six times the Sun Fist to Nagato, causing him to faint on the spot and enjoy a peaceful sleep that he had not had for more than ten years.

Before using the Sun Fist, Naruto threw his senior sister upwards, then gathered his hands on both sides of his head to release the Sun Fist, freeing up his hands and letting his senior sister turn her back to him, avoiding the direct attack of the Sun Fist.

After a move of the Sun Fist made all the ninjas unable to rise again, Naruto hugged his senior sister to the ground in a princess hug, his heart calm.

As Jiraiya said, his senior sister is now a mature and intellectual beauty. If an ordinary person hugs her, he may be intoxicated by the soft and fragrant body and be reluctant to let go.

However, Naruto has long been accustomed to all kinds of beauties. He didn't feel anything when facing No. 18 back then, let alone his senior sister.

He gently put his senior sister Xiaonan down and asked, "Senior sister, are you okay?"

In fact, he may know Xiaonan better than Xiaonan whether she is okay, because he can feel the changes in Xiaonan's Qi through Qi perception. Her Qi is now very smooth and healthy, much healthier than that of office workers who have passed the physical examination. He asked this question just out of politeness.

Xiaonan rolled up her hair and said with a smile, "I'm fine, but you, junior brother... are very powerful."

The instant body technique used by Naruto just now really shocked her. Since Xiaonan has not participated in the Third Ninja World War, and has not seen the yellow flash of Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique, in her concept, there is no instant body technique that can compare with Naruto, even the peak period of the Salamander Hanzo is not as good as him.

Teacher Jiraiya actually accepted such a powerful apprentice again. Konoha Village is indeed full of talents.

However, what made her heart more disturbed was Naruto's mature and calm temperament, which was very similar to Yahiko when he was still alive. His eyes were pure and firm, which made people want to follow him.

If there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world, Xiaonan really believes that Naruto might be the reincarnation of Yahiko.

Of course, she knew in her heart that this was just a self-comforting fantasy. Yahiko was really dead. He died on the night when Konoha and Hanzo of the Salamander jointly plotted. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
