Jiraiya stared, and said very seriously, “If it’s not necessary, don’t fight Hanzou.
More than successfully completing the mission, I hope you can return to Konoha alive!”
After Jiraiya left, for the next three months, Natsuki accompanied Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan in their training.
During these three months, Natsuki not only taught the three Ninjutsu.
He also told them stories about Konoha.
He mainly emphasized that Konoha Ninja would even sacrifice their lives to protect the people of Konoha.
The three longed for Konoha.
But at the same time, they felt a sense of rejection towards Konoha.
Because of Nagato’s childhood experiences, the three had a very bad impression of Konoha.
“Teacher Natsuki, my parents were killed by Konoha Ninja.
Are Konoha Ninja really as good as you say?” Nagato’s expression was dim.
Nagato was born in the Land of Rain.
The Land of Rain is a small country, located between the three great nations of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth, making it a strategically important place.
When Nagato was five years old, the Second Great Ninja War broke out in full.
The Land of Rain became the battlefield for the great nations.
During the war, Nagato’s parents were mistakenly killed by Konoha Ninja who thought they were enemies.
That year, Nagato was five years old.
He witnessed his parents die in front of him.
Although the Konoha Ninja repeatedly apologized to Nagato at that time.
Nagato, however, still went berserk with his Rinnegan in a tremor, killing his enemies on the spot.
So.
Even now, although Nagato’s first teacher, Jiraiya, was a Konoha Ninja, and Nagato’s second teacher, Natsuki, was also a Konoha Ninja, Nagato still couldn’t help but feel a sense of rejection towards Konoha.
Whenever he thought of his parents’ death, Nagato’s heart couldn’t help but fill with sorrow.
“Nagato.”
I was a war orphan when I was very young.”
“Teacher Natsuki, you too…” Nagato suddenly looked up.
He saw Natsuki bending down and looking at him, his face full of a tragic smile.
Natsuki gently hugged Nagato, saying to both Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, “I no longer have blood relatives in this world.”
Natsuki smiled, “But, I’m a thick-skinned person, haha.
I’ll treat those close to me as my family.
Your Teacher Jiraiya is my family, so I also consider you my family!”
Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were stunned.
They looked at Natsuki.
Natsuki’s face still held a smile, but his words were full of sharpness: “From now on, if anyone tries to harm you, I will kill them!”
A warm current surged through the hearts of Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Since the three became war orphans, this long-lost warmth had only been felt from Teacher Jiraiya and Teacher Natsuki.
Would there really be many Ninja in that Village called Konoha who were as warm as Teacher Natsuki and Teacher Jiraiya?
Nagato’s heart wavered for the first time.
Night.
In the small wooden house.
Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were already asleep.
Natsuki was outside the small wooden house, and a full moon in the sky cast his shadow.
He checked the progress of the current mission, [Make Up for Jiraiya’s Regret].
It had already reached 23%.
This indicated that saving Nawaki could indeed keep Orochimaru’s original mindset.
As long as Orochimaru’s original intention remained unchanged, his Will of Fire would not waver.
In the future, he wouldn’t seek the secret of eternal life, nor would he conduct live experiments on Konoha Ninja, eventually becoming a Rogue Ninja. You are reading on NovelPing, the official source.
At this moment.
Natsuki was thinking about how to prevent Nagato from becoming an enemy of Konoha in the future.
“Trying to persuade Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan to join Konoha seems unrealistic.”
Are there any other feasible methods?
Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan are currently war orphans and do not belong to any country.
The three have extremely high combat talent.
Their current demonstrated strength is already at the level of Chunin elites.
If Nagato could control his Rinnegan, his displayed strength would even be comparable to a Kage-level Ninja.
So.
It wouldn’t be difficult for Konoha to accept Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
It also wouldn’t be difficult for Yahiko and Konan to join Konoha.
After all, Konan and Yahiko have no enmity with Konoha.
The difficulty lies in how to make Nagato accept Konoha.
After thinking all night, Natsuki still couldn’t come up with a suitable solution.
Until the next morning, when Natsuki returned from Hidden Rain Village and saw the three in the small wooden house, gathered around the table, excitedly discussing something.
“Teacher Natsuki, you’re back!”
Yahiko excitedly showed Natsuki the newly drawn design.
On the paper, there was a symbol of a red cloud.
“This is?” Natsuki understood in his heart.
“Teacher Natsuki, didn’t we tell you before that we wanted to establish an organization?” Yahiko said with high spirits.
Nagato’s gaze was thoughtful: “Making people understand the pain of war doesn’t necessarily have to be through force.
Perhaps mutual understanding can be achieved through peaceful means.
As long as everyone understands each other, the day the war stops might come very quickly.”
Konan smiled, “The name of the organization we’re creating is ‘Akatsuki.’ Teacher Natsuki, what do you think of this idea?”
It really helps the fic grow!
