In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Lord Jiraiya? Is that you? Hurry to the office, the village is in big trouble!"

An ANBU member happened to be passing by and saw Jiraiya standing at the door. Without hesitation, he led him directly into the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya did not refuse; he also wanted to figure out what was going on in the village.

"Minato, what exactly happened? What's going on in the village?"

Jiraiya didn't even knock; he simply pushed the door open and entered, then looked at Minato Namikaze sitting in a chair and asked him a question.

"Teacher? You're back?"

At this point, Minato Namikaze had long lost the energy and spirit he had when Tengo left.

Being the Hokage should have been a happy thing.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi left him a mess, and his wife mysteriously disappeared.

This left Minato Namikaze completely lacking in energy and spirit.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out throughout the office, and Minato Namikaze tilted his head, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Jiraiya withdrew his hand and looked calmly at Minato Namikaze.

"Remember this, you are now the Hokage. No matter what happens, the village's affairs must come first!"

When Jiraiya got to this point, his eyes became indifferent.

It was precisely because he lacked this awareness that Jiraiya left the village in the first place.

Minato Namikaze was his apprentice, and he originally had the highest hopes for Minato Namikaze.

Who would have thought that Minato Namikaze would turn out like this? This has greatly disappointed Jiraiya.

"Understood, Master."

Upon hearing these words, Minato Namikaze's eyes regained their light, and he looked at Jiraiya with unwavering determination.

That's right, I am now the Hokage, although I don't know how my wife is doing.

But if he continues down this path of despair, he might never find his wife again!

With that thought in mind, Minato Namikaze's eyes regained their brightness, and he continued with the task at hand.

"Minato, there's nothing I can do to help you, but I'll stay in the village until things stabilize."

Jiraiya sighed helplessly and then left the office.

Minato Namikaze did not answer Jiraiya's question and focused intently on his work.

"Mmm, this is delicious! Xiao Nan, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

By this time, the three children had returned home. Konan brought out a bowl of beef soup, and Yahiko's eyes nearly popped out when he saw it.

"loquacious."

Although Xiao Nan said that, a smile appeared on her face.

After all, no girl would refuse such praise, and Xiao Nan was no exception.

"Alright, let's eat. Congratulations on completing our first mission!"

Just as Nagato was about to raise his glass in celebration, he suddenly stood up and looked out the door.

"Nagato, what's wrong?"

Seeing Nagato's unusual behavior, Konan quickly assumed a fighting stance.

"Come out, who's outside? Why aren't you coming in?"

"Mmm, it smells so good! I'm just passing by, and I haven't eaten for days. I wonder if I could have a bite?"

The door was gently pushed open, and a young man was standing outside.

This person is Tianyu, who is hiding outside.

Tianyu originally didn't want to be exposed so early.

But Xiao Nan's cooking was just too delicious.

This also made Tianyu abandon his plan to hide himself and come directly to them to make a living.

I haven't had a hot meal in a long time.

Chapter 598 My whole body is repelling

"No, please leave. We don't have enough to eat!"

Nagato rejected Tengo without hesitation, even though he only sensed about the level of a Chunin from Tengo.

However, his subconscious told him that this person was dangerous.

Unless absolutely necessary, never associate with this kind of person!

Tianyu, however, smiled and showed no intention of leaving.

Yahiko also stood up at this moment.

"Yeah, we worked so hard to earn this money, and you just eat it like that? Wouldn't we lose face?"

"........"

Nagato didn't know what to say, even though the two of them had finally reached an agreement.

But isn't this a bit too obvious?

"Alright, judging from his appearance, he probably hasn't eaten for many days. We've made plenty, one more person won't make a difference."

Xiao Nan finally couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted their conversation.

Anyway, they weren't short of money; they even bought extra beef this time.

Even if another person came, they might not be able to finish eating.

"Tch, since Xiao Nan has already said so, then do as you please."

Yahiko couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, then returned to his seat and began to eat seriously.

"Leave after you finish eating."

Nagato didn't say anything more; if she refused again, she would seem petty.

If this person is only eating one meal, then of course it's fine.

Tianyu seemed oblivious to their malice towards him, acting as if he were in his own home, and served himself a large bowl of rice.

"You guys are really young and promising. You can live on your own at such a young age. That's impressive."

While eating, Tianyu didn't forget to praise them.

It's as if Tenyu himself was just a passing ninja, and his strength was that of a complete novice.

At this point, apart from Nagato, the other two children had lowered their guard against Tenyu.

Chatting with Tianyu, it seemed as if Tianyu was truly in no danger.

But Nagato didn't think so, because he always felt that there was a sense of mountains of corpses and seas of blood on Tenyu.

This was the intuition the Rinnegan gave him, and he had great confidence in the Rinnegan.

This man must have come here for no good reason; we need to find a way to get him to leave!

"Sir, we've eaten enough. Are you full? If so, may we leave?"

Nagato no longer cares about manners or politeness.

The most perfect thing would be to get this terrifying guy out of here as soon as possible!

"Well, it seems your friends really dislike me. In that case, I'll have to leave."

At this moment, Tianyu seemed very sad. He sighed and then prepared to get up and leave.

"Sir, please sit down. This guy is like this, don't leave."

"I see you don't have a place to stay tonight. We happen to have some empty space here. Would you like to come along?"

At this moment, Yahiko glared at Nagato, then looked at Tenyu with a smile.

For some reason, Yahiko suddenly felt a sense of closeness to having a Chunin by his side.

After all, his strength was the weakest among the three.

Now that someone who is on par with me has finally arrived, I naturally want to keep him here!

"Yahiko!"

Nagato was getting anxious. She absolutely couldn't let this man stay, she absolutely couldn't!

"Alright, Nagato, you're acting a bit strange today. Are you sick?"

"Yahiko is right. Sir, why don't you stay here tonight? It's getting late, and it's not safe to go out!"

Konan scolded Nagato, then started clearing away the dishes.

As Tenyu smiled at Nagato, Nagato felt as if he had fallen into the deepest hell, his whole body devoid of any warmth!

"hehe."

At this moment, Ten's laughter struck straight to the heart, as if by some kind of magic, making Nagato's face turn pale.

"Xiao Nan, I don't have anything to do either, let me help you wash the dishes."

Seeing that his intimidating effect had been largely achieved, Tianyu withdrew his imposing aura and went to help in the kitchen.

Upon seeing this, Yahiko quickly followed, leaving Nagato alone in the bedroom.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At this moment, Nagato sat on the ground, panting heavily. Just as he had expected, the other party was not a simple person at all.

Could it be that the Akatsuki organization really holds a grudge against them and sent a core member to eliminate them?

At this moment, Nagato was terrified, unsure whether what she was doing was right.
