Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Recently, it seems that he also intends to respond to Yahiko's call and return to the Land of Rain.

Kagura can actually understand this.

After all, Nagato's father was a native of the Land of Rain.

If we really consider the details, the Land of Rain is Nagato's true homeland.

Although Nagato had attended Konoha's Ninja Academy, as far as Kagura knew, he did not become a member of Konoha's genin.

Perhaps because of his experience in Uzumaki Fusō, Nagato didn't seem too keen on becoming a ninja in Konoha.

So in the end, he did not choose to graduate from school, but dropped out halfway through.

Therefore, even if he were to return to the Land of Rain and join Amegakure, it wouldn't be considered an act of betrayal.

only...

Thinking of this, Kagura couldn't help but smile wryly.

The wheel of history turns so relentlessly, it's truly unstoppable.

Even though he changed Nagato's early life, it seems that the three of them will eventually come together again.

Perhaps this is fate...

Chapter 93 Graduation Gift

However, after a moment's hesitation, Kagura kindly reminded Jiraiya:

"You should be careful this time you go, after all..."

My status is somewhat different now.

Jiraiya instantly understood Kagura's meaning and nodded silently.

No matter what, Jiraiya was a ninja from Konoha.

Although he was Yahiko's master, Yahiko's status is different now than before.

If Konoha were to establish diplomatic relations with them, then it would be a relationship between nations.

If Jiraiya were to become too close to Yahiko and the others at this time, some people with ulterior motives might use it against him to attack Konoha.

Although the world is still primarily driven by strength, it's best to avoid unnecessary diplomatic troubles whenever possible.

Jiraiya wasn't stupid; after Kagura reminded him, he instantly understood what she meant.

So after nodding, he smiled easily and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just going there to take a look."

I also want to see what kind of state that boy from back then can restore to that wasteland.

How much of the goals they set back then can they achieve now?

I won't show myself in public; I'll just go take a look and leave immediately.

Although Jiraiya is usually a bit unreliable, Kagura still has faith in him when it comes to important matters like this.

As the two chatted idly, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Looking at the familiar school gate, Kagura and Jiraiya couldn't help but recall many memories.

As they thought about it, the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, and after exchanging a smile, they slowly walked inside.

They found their goal without spending too much time.

A small boy with silver hair and a black mask was nestled next to his mother, holding a headband and excitedly talking about something.

It wasn't until Kagura and the other person walked up to them that Kakashi realized what was happening and turned to look at them.

"Uncle Kagura, Uncle Jiraiya."

Kakashi quickly bowed politely to the two of them, and his mother beside him also nodded in greeting.

As friends of Sakumo Hatake, Kakashi's family was naturally familiar with the two.

In fact, aside from Jiraiya, who is rarely in the village, and Orochimaru, who spends all his time buried in the laboratory.

The Kagura family and the Hatake Sakumo family have frequent interactions, and the two families even occasionally dine together.

Seeing that only Kakashi's mother was present, Kagura asked in confusion:

"Um?

Where is your father?

"What, he's not here today?"

"Shuomao had a mission outside the village and couldn't make it back in time for today's ceremony."

The one who answered Kagura was Kakashi's mother.

Hearing this, Kagura nodded in deep agreement.

Once you become a ninja, you're destined to have very little opportunity to decide your own time.

Sometimes, when faced with tricky tasks, it's common to disappear for a month.

If Kakashi's mother hadn't been an ordinary person, it's very likely that not even one parent would have been able to come today.

This is why, after becoming a mother, Tsunade insisted on becoming a doctor, reducing the number of times she went to the front lines to perform missions.

This is somewhat like starting as a soldier and gradually transitioning into a clerk.

All of this was because Tsunade wanted to spend more time with her children.

But to everyone's surprise, Tsunade became even busier after becoming a doctor...

Back at the scene, Kagura turned to look at Kakashi, the protagonist of the day, and said to him with a smile:

"Speaking of which, you seem to have broken the record for the youngest genin in Konoha?"

"Not bad, it seems you're even more outstanding than your father."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, showing a rare look of embarrassment.

After thinking for a moment, Kagura reached into her robes, took out an item, handed it over, and said:

"Speaking of which, now that you've graduated, I, as your elder, should also give you some gifts."

This is what I picked out for you. Do you like it?

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

No matter how talented he is, it can't hide the fact that he's still a 5-year-old child.

How could a 5-year-old not like receiving gifts?

After politely bowing and expressing his gratitude, he accepted Kagura's gift and looked over at her.

The next second, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

It was only because Kagura handed over what appeared to be an ordinary strip of black cloth.

Seeing the confusion in Kakashi's eyes, Kagura appropriately said:

"Oh, this is a mask that I specially had made for you."

Don't let its ordinary appearance fool you; it's made with special fabric.

Even in battle, it's very difficult to damage.

Upon hearing Kagura's explanation, a flicker of excitement returned to Kakashi's eyes.

He happily thanked Kagura:

"Thank you, Uncle Kagura! I really like this gift!"

Seeing his reaction, Kagura nodded in satisfaction.

Kagura wasn't lying to Kakashi. Although he didn't know it was Kakashi's graduation day, this gift was indeed something Kagura had prepared for him a long time ago.

After much thought, Kagura remembered his ever-present mask and commissioned someone to make this special mask.

Seeing Kakashi's excited expression, Kagura knew she had made the right choice with the gift.

At that moment, Jiraiya cast a resentful glance at Kagura.

Didn't you know he was graduating today? And when we walked over together just now, I didn't see you buy a gift.

As an elder, since Kagura had given a gift, Jiraiya couldn't very well not reciprocate.

He had only just returned to the village today and hadn't made any preparations.

or...

Should we snatch the toy that was just given to Yamato and give it away?

Realizing Jiraiya's unfriendly gaze, Yamato instinctively hugged the toy in his arms tighter, pursed his lips, and looked at Jiraiya with a nervous expression.

Seeing this, Jiraiya had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Besides, giving that toy to Kakashi seems a bit inappropriate.

With that in mind, Jiraiya began to grope his body repeatedly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pulled a book from his person, handed it to Kakashi, and said:

"Uncle, I also want to give you a gift as a graduation present."

This is a book I wrote. Be sure to read it carefully when you get back!

Upon hearing this, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the book.

After glancing at the book cover, he still politely thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Jiraiya!"

What no one noticed was that Kagura had a strange expression on her face when she saw the book.

Because when Kakashi put the book away, he clearly saw the four big characters "Icha Icha Paradise" written on the cover.
