Chapter 226 Jiraiya Travels to the Hidden Rain Village

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Even though Jiraiya was wearing a bamboo hat and used transformation techniques to disguise himself.

Nagato had already seen the other person's identity at a glance. It was none other than his teacher, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha.

However, Nagato didn't understand why Teacher Jiraiya had to hide his identity and sneak into the territory of the Rain Country.

When Nagato said Jiraiya's name, the Rain Ninjas behind Nagato all set their eyes on Jiraiya.

The Rain Ninjas were not unfamiliar with the name Jiraiya. Jiraiya was not only one of the three powerful ninjas of Konoha, but also the mentor of many high-ranking people in the village.

After seeing his forgery exposed, Jiraiya simply canceled the transformation technique, scratched his head awkwardly and said: "Nagato, I didn't expect to see you so soon, I thought I had to wait a few more hours." At this point, Jiraiya looked behind Nagato and asked in confusion: "By the way, Nagato, you are carrying out a secret mission with so many ninjas? If the situation is urgent, I won't bother you." Nagato shook his head slightly, and then said: "No, I am leading my subordinates to maintain the roads in the nearby area, and by the way, I am building a flood discharge channel nearby." "So the cement road nearby was built by you?" Jiraiya was surprised, and then said with some envy: "It seems that the name of the Rain Country is a big Good man, actually willing to build expensive roads in the border area. "

"Daimyo?" Nagato frowned and said: "What does building roads have to do with daimyo? The roads in the Rain Country have always been the responsibility of the Hidden Rain Village. "

Hearing this, Jiraiya was slightly stunned, and then said: "Without the authorization and funds of the daimyo, where do you get the money to build roads in the Rain Country? Ninjas must be commissioned to work, right?"

This time, it was Nagato's turn to show a surprised look, and asked in confusion: "Why do ninjas have to be hired by others to work? Can't we do it ourselves?"

"Besides, there is no daimyo in the Rain Country for a long time."

Jiraiya was silent for a few seconds. He realized that the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and the Rain Country might be different from what he imagined.

Konoha and the Daimyo of the Fire Country are in a cooperative relationship, but there is no daimyo in the Rain Country.

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya said, "There is no Daimyo in the Land of Rain. Do you mean that the Daimyo has disappeared, or was he..."

"That's not the case..." Nagato paused, then said, "After Bai Ye went to the Daimyo's mansion, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain seemed to have taken the initiative to abdicate and handed over all power to the Hidden Rain Village."

"However, without the Daimyo and the nobles, the Land of Rain has developed much faster."

After hearing Bai Ye's name, Jiraiya immediately understood everything. The Daimyo must have been threatened by Bai Ye to abdicate.

Similar situations are not uncommon in the ninja world.

However, generally after the Daimyo's position is abolished, a new noble will take over. It is very rare for a place like the Land of Rain to have no nobles at all.

At this time, Nagato seemed to remember something and said to Jiraiya:

"By the way, Jiraiya, you haven't told me the purpose of your visit to the Land of Rain. Is there something important in Konoha that needs to cooperate with the Hidden Rain Village?"

"That's not the case. After the war, I have been traveling in the Ninja World. Recently, I happened to travel to the Land of Rain, so I thought about going to see you. I didn't expect you to find me. I missed a surprise..."

After that, Jiraiya looked at Nagato again, sighing in his heart.

As time went by, Nagato's strength became stronger and stronger. Even when he deliberately disguised himself, he could see through his forgery at a glance.

He is worthy of being the son of prophecy with the Samsara Eye.

Nagato noticed Jiraiya's eyes and said with a smile:

"Since Jiraiya has no urgent business, just act with us. After patrolling the nearby area, we will return to the village together."

Jiraiya nodded. He also wanted to see how Nagato works.

The patrol lasted for most of the day. During this time, Jiraiya saw how Nagato led his subordinates to use ninjutsu to open channels and how to pave roads with cement techniques.

It was not that he had not seen Konoha ninjas perform similar ninjutsu before.

But the area managed by Konoha Ninja Village was limited to Konoha Ninja Village. However, it was almost voluntary to intervene in the affairs of the Land of Fire, and it would not build cement roads to the streets and alleys of the Land of Rain.

A few hours later, Nagato's work was completed and he returned to the Hidden Rain Village with Jiraiya.

The Hidden Rain Village is a city full of steampunk style. Compared with the sunny Konoha Ninja Village, it is more like a huge steel factory.

After entering the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya was surprised to find that all the residents here can basically perform ninjutsu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all ninjas.

After realizing this, Jiraiya frowned.

In the ninja world, it is not difficult to become a ninja. As long as you learn to refine chakra, master the three-body technique and kunai throwing skills, you can become a Genin.

But such a Genin will only become cannon fodder in war, and will not be able to handle professional commissions in peacetime. The increase in the number of ninjas will reduce the income of each ninja, which will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, except for the Rock Ninja, the other ninja villages in the five major ninja villages will control the number of ninjas and keep the number of ninjas within an appropriate range.

The act of letting everyone in the Rain Hidden Village become ninjas made him wonder if the Rain Hidden Village was going to expand. After all, the land of the Country of Rain could not support so many ninjas.

But it should be impossible for someone like Yahiko to start a war.

Not long after, Jiraiya arrived at the Amegakure Village building. Yahiko and Konan personally welcomed Jiraiya to the reception room and treated him like a distinguished guest.

After some pleasantries, Jiraiya expressed his doubts: "Yahiko, why are there so many ninjas in Amegakure Village?"

From Jiraiya's point of view, instead of doubting and guessing in his mind, it would be better to ask Yahiko directly.

Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Jiraiya-sensei, you are talking about the villagers who have mastered one or two ninjutsu. They are not ninjas in the village, they are just ordinary people."

"Ordinary people? Can you be an ordinary person if you master ninjutsu?" Jiraiya frowned.

Yahiko nodded, and then explained: "Of course they are ordinary people. The profession of ninjas is mercenaries, and they are just a group of traders and workers."

"But in the cognition of the ninja world, those who master ninjutsu are ninjas."

After a brief pause, Jiraiya said earnestly: "For these ordinary people, mastering ninjutsu is not necessarily a good thing."
