The first encounter between Nagato and Jiraiya was at the end of the Second Ninja War.
At that time, Jiraiya had just been given the title of "Sannin" by Hanzo the Sanshouyu, and Yahiko and the other three were just street children stealing food.
Time flies, and both sides have undergone great changes in appearance and identity.
The master is still the master, but the wanderer at that time has become the leader of Yuyin Village, and truly has the strength to implement his own beliefs.
"Jiraiya-sensei, we didn't embarrass you, did we?" Yahiko asked with a smile.
Looking at the face that had changed drastically but was still familiar, Jiraiya was filled with emotions. Who would have thought that his unintentional act at the time actually planted a towering tree.
"You have all grown up. Yahiko, you have truly implemented your beliefs. Nagato, you are no longer as shy as you once were. And Konan, you have indeed grown into a beautiful woman." Jiraiya smiled proudly.
"In the past few years, I have been hearing about your deeds, but I didn't expect..."
Listening to the conversation between the four masters and disciples, the two Konoha jounin behind Jiraiya secretly glanced at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Although they had already browsed the relevant information when they came, they were still amazed when they saw it with their own eyes.
It took three years to teach a ninja village leader.
Just thinking about it makes me feel full of legend.
Even if Amegakure Village is weak, it is still a shinobi village built on the basis of one country.
Years of separation have not made the master-disciple relationship estranged. On the contrary, it is like fine wine, getting more and more mellow with age.
Looking at the four masters and apprentices who were becoming more and more harmonious, neither Naruto, who was wearing a mask, nor the Konoha Jonin who followed Jiraiya, interrupted, but just watched quietly.
For Hinata and Tian, they are eager for the four of them to chat for a while. The deeper the relationship between Jiraiya-sama and Yahiko, the better it will be for what they want to talk about next.
Konoha has not stopped infiltrating Amegakure Village since the end of the Second Ninja War.
From a geographical point of view, the Kingdom of Rain is naturally the battlefield of the three major kingdoms of fire, wind, and earth. As a local snake, the Kingdom of Rain usually seems like nothing, but when the battle between the three parties enters an anxious state, the power of Yuyin Village
It seems very important.
Especially for Konoha, which often needs more than a dozen, the demand for this power is far greater than that of the other two major ninja villages.
However, due to the existence of the 'demigod' Sansho Hanzo, Konoha's penetration has never made a breakthrough.
However, sometimes things are so strange.
Who would have thought that Jiraiya-sama's unintentional intervention at that time would actually cause this situation to take an earth-shaking turn.
Even before it happened, no one would have thought that the disciple he had only taught for three years would actually overthrow Sanshouyu Hanzo's rule in Yuyin Village.
After learning about this situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage of Konoha, made an immediate decision and ordered Hokage advisor Shimura Danzo to hand over all matters concerning the Rain Country to Jiraiya.
Although the emotional card is old-fashioned, it is very effective, at least it is more effective than Shimura Danzo's method that cannot be put on the table.
Therefore, the current situation has emerged.
"Yahiko, have you ever thought about concluding an alliance treaty with Konoha?" Although the conversation got aroused, Jiraiya did not forget the mission of himself and others.
After the chat just now, he found that the relationship between the three of them had not changed much compared to when he left.
The strongest person is still Nagato, but the real soul is still the cheerful Yahiko.
"Treaty of alliance..." Yahiko scratched his head. He was not a three-year-old child. After experiencing so many things, he had already made some guesses about the teacher's arrival at the right time.
"It is not the kind of treaty that has a master-slave relationship. Konoha and Amegakure are completely equal." Jiraiya seemed to see his scruples and explained, "If you are worried, you can only conduct some simple intelligence in the early stage.
Sharing, economic exchanges.”
"In addition, Konoha can also help Yugakure to cultivate ninjas."
"What's the quantity?" Yahiko asked quickly.
He has very bad people now.
The cultivation of ninjas in Konoha is well-known in the entire ninja world. In the first and second ninja wars, Konoha's one against four relied not only on the top strong ones, but also on the middle and low-level ninjas whose quality far exceeded that of other ninja villages.
Can not be ignored.
"One hundred genin, ten chunin, and one jounin." Jiraiya chuckled. This was what he had fought for for his disciples, especially the jounin spot.
According to the ideas of those old men, they would rather train a few more chuunin than help Yugakure train a jounin.
"One batch every two years." Jiraiya raised two fingers.
"...Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei." The huge benefits directly knocked Yahiko into confusion. He understood that this was all achieved by Jiraiya-sensei for them.
Otherwise, the current situation of Amegakure Village would not be worth Konoha's expense to sign an equal alliance treaty.
Even the most incompetent merchant would not engage in such a wasteful business.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you." Jiraiya pulled his subordinates to his side and introduced, "He is Hinata Wada, and this is Nara Kyugi. You can find the relevant details of the treaty later and find him later.
Just connect.”
Several people's eyes swept over the two of them, especially the white eyes of Hinata and Wada, which stopped for a long time.
This is an eye-jutsu blood successor that can rival the Uchiha clan!
Although Nagato has the Samsara Eye, he has seen it too much and developed antibodies.
The white eyes are different, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, it’s fresh!
"Konan, you and Elder Yamura should be responsible for this matter." Yahiko looked away and said to Konan beside him.
Xiaonan nodded slightly to express his understanding.
When it comes to killing, both Naruto and Nagato have their own opinions; in management, the only ones who can do it are Yahiko and Konan, who have experience in managing the Akatsuki organization; in managing the Ninja Village...
There is no one that can be beaten directly.
Therefore, considering the actual needs, the elder positions of Yahiko and others were retained.
Compared with Kazuhiko, the biggest advantage of these two people is that they are aware of current affairs and understand their own situation. For such a long time, they have not made a bid to further broaden their official career like Kazuhiko.
How Yu Yin was treated before, so is how they are treated now.
Even because of Kazuhiko's death, the power of the two people who took over part of his work increased instead of falling.
"By the way, are your work over?" Jiraiya asked.
"What's the matter? Mr. Jiraiya." Yahiko turned his head and glanced at the documents on the table, feeling a little confused.
"Teacher, I haven't eaten yet."
Yahiko glanced at the sky and said, "Come on, Teacher Jiraiya, I will take you to taste the characteristics of the Land of Rain!"
Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Naruto raised his sword in front of him and disappeared.
