Chapter 162 Jiraiya's Second Choice

"Eat it. This guy is a very good person. He helps take care of another disciple of the teacher."

Jiraiya patted Konan on the head, took an apple and put it in her hand, giving her enough encouragement.

Xiaonan then smiled and happily took a bite of the apple.

Seeing this, Yahiko couldn't help himself and picked up an apple to eat. Only Nagato stood behind embarrassedly, worried that his eyes would be discovered.

In the end, it was Jiraiya who helped him get the fruit.

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei."

Looking at the grateful Nagato, it is hard to believe that this little guy who is so grateful to Jiraiya will run to Konoha to carry rice in the future. Konoha was almost destroyed by this little guy.

If Naruto's mouth-to-mouth skills weren't powerful enough, no one could predict what would happen in the end.

It’s all Danzo’s fault!

If it weren't for Danzo, the evildoer, who went to the Rain Country to stir up trouble and forced Yahiko to death, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't have taken the extreme path. Even if it had, Nagato wouldn't have hated Konoha so much without this incident.

All the kindnesses were gone when Yahiko was forced to death.

Noticing that Shizuichi was observing him, Nagato quickly lowered his head.

Could it be that Jingyi discovered it?

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat, because he didn't know what Shizuichi would do to Nagato after he discovered the Rinnegan.

"Jingyi, did you come to the Rain Country to look for me?"

Jiraiya quickly changed the subject and slowly moved his body to completely block Nagato behind him. Yahiko and Konan, who noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, also became nervous.

They were not sure whether Jingyi was a friend or an enemy.

While eating the fish, Jing Yi said disdainfully: "How dare you be so shameless?"

"........"

Depend on!

Do you have to be so blunt!!!

Jiraiya's forced smile collapsed.

Looking at his depressed face, Jingyi smiled and explained:

"The Rain Country is too chaotic. The Daimyo of the Rain Country is worried about his own safety, so he came to the village for help. So the protection mission was handed over to the Anbu. I came here with the Anbu people. After cleaning up the Daimyo's mansion in the Rain Country, I came to find you."

"Ahahaha....that's right, you wouldn't take the initiative to look for me."

Jiraiya was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

"Um, Rope Tree..."

"That's good. I almost forgot about your teacher. I guess he will chase you and beat you up when you return to the village."

Jiraiya: “….”

"By the way, your teacher asked me to bring a message to you. He said that the village needs you and hopes that you can return to Konoha as soon as possible."

After saying that, Jingyi continued eating and no longer cared about Jiraiya. As for what Jiraiya thought, that was Jiraiya's own business.

Teacher, are you going to leave us?

Jingyi's words made the three members of Akatsuki panic. They couldn't imagine how they would live without their teacher Jiraiya.

Today, the Rain Kingdom is a place where people eat each other.

Seeing the three children's worries, Jiraiya laughed: "Don't worry, the teacher will not leave you. I will always be with you until you grow up."

"Teacher, is it true?"

Xiaonan looked at him in surprise.

"of course it's true."

Jiraiya smiled and picked up the little girl, placing her on his lap.

After comforting the three children, Jiraiya raised his head in embarrassment: "Jingyi, I......"

"You don't need to tell me anything. I'm just a messenger. I won't force you to return to the village."

Jingyi was too lazy to persuade Jiraiya. Whether he stayed or was willing to return to the village had nothing to do with him directly.

He is just a messenger.

After hearing Jingyi's words, Jiraiya felt inexplicably relieved.

He could ignore the Third Hokage's urging, but he couldn't ignore Jingyi, after all, Jingyi was sitting in front of him.

What worries Jiraiya the most is that he cannot defeat Shizuichi. If Shizuichi really wants to take him away, there are too many ways for him to do so.

Not to mention arresting him directly, even threatening him with the three little ones would force him to compromise.

Jiraiya would not leave, and Shizuichi would not try to persuade him or use force.

The atmosphere in the cabin became lively again.

Not to mention Yahiko and Konan, even the extremely introverted Nagato smiled, but his eyes were covered by his bangs and could not be seen clearly.

The meal was finished quickly.

Jiraiya sent the three children into their room to rest.

After the three children left, Jiraiya and Shizuka were the only ones left in the living room of the cabin.

Jiraiya made a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Jingyi, and considerately pushed the tea in front of him.

Jingyi raised the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "If you have to fart, just fart."

"hey-hey........"

Jiraiya smiled sheepishly: "The things in the scroll......"

Jiraiya was not short of money. Even if most of the money was contributed to Nawaki, he still had a lot left. However, the Rain Country was too chaotic, and he needed to hide from the people sent by the Third Hokage, so Jiraiya had no way to leave to purchase supplies.

Giving Jiraiya a look that said "I'm convinced" Shizue took out the scroll and threw it on the table.

Jiraiya chuckled foolishly and put the scroll away as quickly as possible, fearing that Jing would regret it later.

Jingyi drank her tea slowly, too lazy to look at him. How shameful!

Soon after finishing a cup of tea, Jingyi rubbed his palms and said, "I will return to the village soon. Do you have anything to say to me?"

"what?"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"No, have a good trip. By the way, don't tell the old man that I'm here."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"you sure?"

"I do... uh."

Facing Jingyi's playful eyes, I'm sure Jiraiya swallowed half of what he said, and swallowed the rest back by himself.

Because he was not sure whether Jingyi had noticed that something was wrong with Nagato.

The reason why Jiraiya hid in this valley was not only because he was afraid that the Third Hokage would send someone to find him and persuade him to return to the village, but also because he was worried that Nagato's eyes would be discovered.

Once the news of the legendary Immortal's Eye spreads, it will definitely attract countless people's attention.

Jiraiya shuddered at the thought of countless people staring at Nagato, mainly from the five major ninja villages.

It's so dangerous.

No, I have to find a secluded place to hide. This small valley is not safe anymore. It would be better to build an underground base or something.

Jingyi didn't know how many weird things Jiraiya had imagined.
