In the country of rain, the rain wets the earth.

A red-haired boy fell powerlessly in the rain. The rain in the sky kept falling down, washing the earth. The red-haired boy looked at the hazy sky and raised his right hand, as if he wanted to hold the entire sky in his hand.

"Nakamen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" A young man with orange hair found something wrong while walking. He turned his head and found that the red-haired boy was lying on the ground, and hurried to Nagamen.

"Yahiko, you said, what is the meaning of our living now."

"I feel so tired and hard in my life every day now. Should we choose to die and get real liberation? It seems that no one stipulates that we must live well."

"Since there are no one in the world that we have to do with, then we can die with peace of mind."

Nagato let the heavy rain wash his face, his eyes looking at the sky with dim eyes.

He couldn't find the meaning of continuing to survive.

"Stop talking stupidly. Since you follow me, we must both live." Yahiko pulled Nagato from the ground, brushed the rain from Nagato's face, looked at the earth in the distance, and whispered, "Actually, Nagato, I don't know what the meaning of our survival is now, but we are two people now. If you don't want to live, then I don't want to live anymore. You always don't want to let me die with you..."

"Of course not." Uzumaki Nagato shook his head quickly, expressing his denial.

"Then let's work hard to continue to live." Yahiko showed a bright smile. He was bigger and more mature than Nagato, and he would not give up.

"As for the meaning of living... I think we will find it sooner or later." Yahiko looked at the sky. Perhaps all the orphans in the war in this world were looking for meaning like them.

Nagato paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yahiko, I believe you. If it were you, you would definitely be able to find the meaning of life. After all, you are different from others."

Yahiko is indeed different from others. She is clearly in the darkest place and suffers from all the bad things, but a strong beam of light will always burst out in her heart. She will share precious food with him whom she has never met before. Nagato has never encountered such a person, so Nagato admires Yahiko very much.

Yahiko smiled and shook her head and said, "There is nothing different. It's just that in order to survive, I've been stubborn and used to it. I've been through so much pain in the past. I'm not willing to give up so easily."

Yahiko looked around, then pointed to a cave to Nagato, "We are short of food now and lack a place to shelter from the rain. Let's take a look in the cave in front."

"Let's go."

Nagato nodded and followed Yahiko toward the cave.

Above the cave, at the top of the mountain, two large and two small figures were silently observed in black-bottomed red cloud robes. These four figures were the demigod Hanzo of the Kingdom of Rain and the three of Bai Ye, Konan, Kushina who had returned to the Kingdom of Rain. As for Tsunade and Nonoyu of the Medicine Buddha, they had separated from Bai Ye when they first left Konoha Village.

"Master, we have been observing them for several days. They have now walked into the cave that Sannin Jiraiya just entered. Should we go down and take a look? I think you care about them very much." Hanzo said.

"No hurry, it should be soon." Bai Ye chuckled.

A few days ago, he left Konoha Village and returned to the Rain Country. He happened to meet Yahiko and Nagato on the way. He was very curious about what the two would become without Konan's existence.

This time I watched it for several days.

As low as a reed, but as strong as a reed. This is the biggest feeling the two of them gave him, especially Yahiko, who was obviously unable to protect himself, but insisted on taking Nagato with him. Such a stubborn personality, as long as he did not die, would achieve a great career like Chiju Hashimara and Uchiha Madara.

Perhaps Yahiko is not as powerful as Chiju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara, but Yahiko's power is too powerful, and he can keep making others willing to be led by him.

Although this time, there was no Konan beside Yahiko, and Nagato's eyes were not the Rinnegan, accordingly, the most powerful disaster on the development path of Akatsuki's organization - the interception of Hanzo and Danzo, is likely to not appear again because of his existence.

Bai Ye wanted to see what level Yahiko could do. In the original work, Yahiko's peak strength was not strong and she could get the bento quickly. Not many people noticed him, but if he gave the soil for his development and the assistance of Nagato with the vortex physique, it was hard to say what level he could reach in the future.

"Kushina, that red-haired boy is the Uzumaki clan like you." Shiratsuya said.

"Ah?" Uzumaki Kushina focused on Nagato because of Bai Ye's words. The same red hair made Kushina feel a natural sense of intimacy, which was that she was really a little thin, "Can I go and see him?"

"The time comes, we will meet naturally. In the next few years, you will stay in the Kingdom of Rain and you will always meet." Shiratsuya said, Kushina Uzumaki nodded and continued to pay attention to the two of them.

"Master, they entered the cave where Jiraiya is. What do you think Jirai will do?" Hanzo asked.

"Perhaps, they will become masters and apprentices." Bai Ye said that Jiraiya's personality has not changed from the original work, and there are some differences between the time and situation of the original work now.

In the original work, Jiraiya and Yahiko and Nagato met several years before the end of World War II, and they were surrounded by Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Now, we meet after the end of World War II, and there are no Tsunade and Orochimaru who are around to persuade him. He will inevitably have a flood of sympathy and accept Yahiko and Nagato as his disciples.

"Master and apprentice? Just like Minato?" Uzumaki Kushina said. Hakufuku Mizumaki was the absolute number one among her peers in her mind, but Bai Ye now said that these two people would become Jiraiya's apprentices. Uzumaki Kushina was a little reluctant to believe it.

"What?" Bai Ye glanced at Kushina, "If they could really become Jiraiya's apprentices, then maybe Jirai would take Minato too, would you not want to?"

Uzumaki Kushina's face turned red all of a sudden and she stopped talking.

Hanzo also frowned, thought for a while, shook his head, "Master, Jiraiya is one of the three ninjas, and the conditions for his admission of disciples should be difficult for these two young men."

"No, it's not difficult for them."

Bai Ye looked below, Yahiko and Nagato had already walked into the cave.

Because Jiraiya's disciples care more about the strength of his strength.

But the strength of the heart.

PS: One update, one update in the last few days.
