Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

She has indeed changed, to a point that even Jiraiya-sensei cannot fully comprehend.

This change made her feel a strange sense of fear and self-blame.

After a moment, she shook her head, her voice slightly hoarse:

"Jiraiya-sensei, you can go now. We're doing very well."

Every syllable of hers contained endless helplessness and sorrow.

"Grilled fish...we don't like eating it anymore."

As soon as Xiao Nan finished speaking, she turned and left.

She had her back to Jiraiya, never turning her head, as if she were deliberately trying to hide something.

Xiao Nan cruelly wanted to sever all ties with the man who had given her a new life.

The Akatsuki organization has long since strayed from its original path, and under their leadership, it has instigated wars and captured tailed beasts everywhere.

These actions made Xiao Nan feel both guilty and pained.

The instant she turned away, a crystal-clear droplet of water silently slid down her smooth cheek.

It fell gently and disappeared into the mud beneath its feet.

Rain or tears, perhaps it makes no difference to her at this moment.

There's no turning back on the path they've already embarked on.

A voice calling from behind suddenly interrupted her.

That was Jiraiya's voice, tinged with surprise, but mostly with concern and reluctance.

"This isn't like you, Xiao Nan. You used to be so warm and generous. Why are you acting like a stranger now?"

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Jiraiya's expression was unusually serious.

“I am your teacher. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can talk to me.”

His tone became more firm, "I can help you solve the problem."

"I am one of the Legendary Sannin, the Gallant Jiraiya! There is nothing I cannot do!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya chuckled and struck a classic pose.

“Teacher…” Xiao Nan’s voice trembled, as if too many emotions were bursting out at this moment.

She tried to explain, but felt that her words were inadequate.

Seeing this strong yet fragile girl standing before him again, her face streaked with tears, Jiraiya's heart softened instantly.

He walked slowly to Xiao Nan's side and gently stroked her damp hair.

"It's okay, you can tell me anything."

Jiraiya gently comforted him.

Those warm and strong hands seemed to dispel all the darkness in the world, giving Xiao Nan immense comfort.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan could no longer contain the torrent of emotions that had been suppressed within her, and she buried her face in her teacher's firm embrace.

"teacher……"

Before she could even finish uttering those two words, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"I am here, and I admit that I neglected to support your growth in the past during my teaching process."

Jiraiya held his disciple tightly and whispered softly:

"But from now on, no matter what happens, your teacher will always be there for you."

Feeling the warmth and strength transmitted from her master, Xiao Nan's tears flowed like a spring.

"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sensei,"

She spoke haltingly:

"We have betrayed the goals and ideals set when Akatsuki was first founded, and now we are deeply mired in sin and have done many wrong things..."

"It's alright. As long as we work together, the best solution is to gradually make up for our mistakes."

Jiraiya firmly stated from the side, "These problems can be overcome sooner or later."

However, when the topic touched on a more somber name—Yahiko.

My previously relatively stable emotions suddenly spiraled out of control:

"And Yahiko... he's gone!"

Xiao Nan felt heartbroken when she heard the name of this person who was once regarded as a spiritual leader.

“That’s a minor matter; I can revive him.”

Xiao Nan looked up in astonishment, her face covered in tears. Did her teacher really have such extraordinary abilities?

Under Konan's surprised gaze, Jiraiya scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Actually...it wasn't me, it was him!"

Jiraiya suddenly pointed to the person who had been doing push-ups ever since he entered the area.

Konan looked in the direction Jiraiya pointed.

A figure dressed in a green bodysuit appeared completely unconcerned about the pouring rain, performing standard push-ups on the ground.

When Jiraiya uttered the name, Konan almost thought she had misheard.

Before she arrived, she already knew that Jiraiya was accompanied by Hidan.

This puzzled both her and Nagato.

But didn't Hidan just go on a mission with Kakuzu?

So ever since she arrived here, she has been searching for that image of someone carrying a large scythe and with slicked-back hair.

However, no trace could be found at all.

To everyone's surprise, the person now called "Hidan" is a strangely dressed individual, which naturally astonished Konan.

"Hidan, stop training. You'll have plenty of time to train later. Come on."

Jiraiya waved and called out in that direction.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan quickly broke free and tidied her appearance.

No matter which version of Hidan stands before her, her subordinates must always maintain the dignity of a leader.

We must never let the other party see us in such a weak state.

Fortunately, the continuous drizzle can easily conceal the tear stains; all I need to do is tighten my expression again.

Hidan slowly got up from the ground, and when he turned around, Konan froze—

That is definitely Hidan!

But what's with this bowl cut hairstyle and this green outfit?

The man waved and greeted him.

"The Rinnegan?!"

Because Hidan's appearance had changed so drastically, Konan only noticed the mysterious Sharingan in his eyes at this moment.

This is no small matter.

"Jiraiya-sensei, what's going on... Why has a second pair of Rinnegan appeared?!"

As he spoke, he gently scratched his cheek with his fingertips, his words mumbled indistinctly:

"Uh...maybe he found it."

Xiao Nan looked on in disbelief: "You...you found it?"

"What do you mean by 'found'? This is a blessing I received from my devout service to the evil god," Hidan corrected seriously.

"Well, as long as it works, that's good enough!" Jiraiya quickly changed the subject.

Explaining the complex background of parallel universes and cross-dimensional communication groups is too much trouble; it's more important to find a reason to resolve Yahiko's resurrection first.

Faced with this sudden change, Xiao Nan was speechless for a moment.

"All right……"

Although I understand that my teacher may be hiding something, it no longer matters in the current situation.

As long as Yahiko can return and lead Akatsuki again, everything else can be ignored!

"Jiraiya-sensei, please come with me, I will take you to see Nagato."

Having said that, she gently led the way forward.

Finally done...

Seeing that the matter was resolved smoothly, Jiraiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Achievement Completed: Pass through the Rain Country without taking damage!

Meanwhile, a ninja hidden outside the city gate trembled uncontrollably as he watched the three figures gradually disappear into the distance.

"Holy crap, that person is actually Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin?!"

Looking down at the kunai in his hand, he realized that he had almost single-handedly confronted such a being.

"And they actually know some high-ranking people in our village... Looks like we're doomed."

Thinking that a long goalkeeping career might be his only way out, the Amegakure couldn't help but feel a sense of despair about the future.

As for his fears and worries about the future, Jiraiya had actually long since put them out of his mind.

Even if he remembered, given Jiraiya's personality, he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for such a minor character.

Chapter 214 Nagato remained silent, only launching attacks.

"Sigh... Jiraiya-sensei."
