"I decided to teach you ninjutsu!"

A few days later, when Yahiko and Nagato recovered, Jirai announced the news to them.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko immediately showed a surprise expression: "Really?"

"Um!"

Jiraiya nodded and gave her own reasons.

"Just before, I don't know when your life will be in danger, so I want to teach you ninjutsu that can protect yourself!"

"marvelous!"

Yahiko jumped up happily, but Nagato, who was standing beside him, was in a bad mood and had no expression on his face.

At this time, Yahiko suddenly turned around and spread her hands towards him with a smile.

"Thank you for saving me last time, Nagato, it's wrong for me to say you are a coward. If something happens in the future, it's my turn to protect you!"

"Thank you... Thank you, Yahiko!" Nagato lowered his head as he said.

But Konan, who was standing beside him, smiled: "Hey? But compared to Yahiko, Nagato seems to be stronger!"

"Well……"

Yahiko, who was demolished, couldn't hold back her face and she clenched her fists to defend herself.

"I will become stronger through cultivation later. Xiaonan has too much nonsense!"

"I think Xiaonan is right!"

The oily girl Zhigao sat aside and gently pushed her sunglasses with her middle finger.

"Even if Konoha is a talented person like Nagato and Konan, even if he is a talented person, he can be called a genius. As for Yahiko, you..."

Speaking of this, he immediately reached out and pointed at Yahiko.

"Your way of doing this is called the tail of a crane. Don't think about surpassing the genius. When you encounter danger, just hide and shout 'Namen, Konan, help', and that's fine!"

"Puff!"

Hearing the words of the oil girl Shigao, Konan couldn't help laughing out loud, and Nagato, who was beside him, couldn't help but shake his shoulders a few times.

Seeing that Yahiko's face was a little uneasy, Jiraiya quickly interrupted them.

"Okay, Shigao, don't tease Yahiko, we should start practicing, so first, start making chakra practice!"

"Yes, teacher!" Yahiko and Konan responded in unison.

...

Night soon fell.

After a day of practice and after dinner, Yahiko and Konan soon fell asleep.

The oil girl Zhigao is not too sleepy because she has been sleeping during the day and has not participated in their practice.

Suddenly he heard a slight sound coming from beside him. He opened his eyes slightly and found that it was Yahiko who had climbed up from the bed and walked out the door.

Soon, a slight sob came from outside the door, mixed with the sound of rain, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't hear it at all.

The oil girl raised her eyebrows tall, then got up from the bed, put on a coat and went out.

When I got outside, I found that Nagato was indeed sitting at the door crying.

At this moment, it is difficult for Nagato to connect him with the emotionless Payne in the original plot.

"I wish this guy could have been so simple!"

The oil girl Shigao said something secretly in her heart, then walked to Nagato and sat down, and reached out to his shoulders.

"Nakato, tell me what sad things are there to listen to. I'm very worried about you like this!"

"Zhigao..."

When Nagato heard the careful words of the oil girl Shigao, he felt a little moved, and then he rubbed his eyes while opening his mouth.

"At that time... Yahiko was injured, I was very angry, my mind was blank, and I entered a state of selflessness. When I came to my senses, the other party had already fallen..."

Speaking of this, he sobbed again.

"After that, I felt very scared because of hatred, myself who lost myself gave the other person...I did something wrong, right? Actually, there should be a better way..."

"No, Nagato, I don't think you did anything wrong!"

Looking at Nagato who became a little excited, Yuuki Shigao directly spoke and interrupted him.

After saying that, he turned to look at the heavy rain outside and spoke in a helpless tone.

"How can I have any better way? In a chaotic world, I can't help myself. I either fight or escape. If you didn't do that at that time, I'm afraid Yahiko would have left us forever!"

Speaking of this, he smiled and patted Nagato on the shoulder.

"Good job, Nagato, you saved Yahiko and protected your friends!"

"Shitaka..." Nagato looked at the oily girl Shitaka in a daze, and finally only spit out two words, "Thank you!"

The oil girl Zhigao grinned and said, "Hehe, no thanks!"

At this time, a chuckle sounded behind the two of them.

"Haha, Zhigao is getting more and more comfortable. Well, he finally looks like a senior brother, very good!"

"Well……"

The oil girl Zhigao looked up and found that it was Jiraiya, so she quickly called out: "Teacher!"

"Um!"

Jiraiya nodded, then walked to Yahiko's side to sit down, and gently placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Zhikao is right. Because you Yahiko is saved, so what you did is right and no one will blame you!"

Speaking of this, Jiraiya slowly restrained his smile and felt a little more emotion on his face.

"This person will hate him once he is hurt. On the contrary, after he hurts others, he will be hated by others and feel guilty in his heart. However, it is precisely because of knowing the pain that he knows to be gentle and this is human beings!"

He spoke a little profoundly, and Nagato didn't understand very well, so he asked, "What does this mean?"

"It means you have grown up!" Jiraiya smiled.

"What does growth... mean?" Nagato asked in confusion.

"It's just that you can judge right and wrong by yourself!" Jiraiya answered patiently.

Hearing this, Nagato buried his head in his knees again and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Yahiko helped us when Konan and I were crying hungry, and even went to steal other people's food. I just wanted to protect them, even if I felt any pain."

After saying that, Nagato asked Jiraiya again: "Teacher... what have the teacher been thinking about?"

Jiraiya immediately answered him.

"This world is full of war and hatred everywhere. I want to change this situation. What is the so-called peace? I also want to find the answer!"

After listening to Jiraiya's answer, Nagato turned his head toward the oil girl Shitaka on the other side.

"Where is Zhigao? What are you thinking about?"

“I was wondering how to live.”

The oil girl shrugged her shoulders.

"I am not the protagonist of this world and cannot change this world, so I just want to live well, and it is best to let the people I care about survive. When peace comes, at least I will not be too lonely."

"But will peace really come?" Nagato asked in confusion.

"meeting!"

The oil girl Zhigao nodded seriously.

"Maybe we were all old at that time, our hair was white and our skin wrinkled, but I firmly believe that true peace will come!"

“…”

Seeing the oil girl Shigao's unsuspecting appearance, Nagato was suddenly moved.

However, just as he was about to say something, he found that the oil girl Zhigao took out a pair of scissors from somewhere and laughed at him.

"Hehe, Nagato, I feel that your hair seems a bit long, which is too blocking your vision. Come on, let me help you design a trendy hairstyle. Don't move while you sit!"
