After a day's trek, the two arrived at Mokuhanatsu in the southeast of the Land of Fire.

Mokuhanazu is an important town in the Land of Fire. A stream runs across the north and south and merges into the river outside the city.

The tributary of that river will flow northward, and when it flows through a canyon, it will pour down between the two sculptures and turn into a magnificent waterfall.

That canyon is called the "Valley of the End".

Standing on the top of that angular sculpture, looking at the mountains behind the opposite sculpture, and then turning over, you will reach the Konoha Ninja Village.

The bond between the civilians of the Land of Fire and the Konoha Ninja Village is the reason why Konohazu has become an important town.

On the street, you can often see Konoha ninjas coming here to reorganize after completing their mission, and occasionally you can also see Sand Village ninjas passing through here after obtaining permission.

The Third Ninja World War ended and the countries resumed diplomatic relations, but the identity of a traitor ninja was still sensitive.

Before entering the city, Nagato and Konan made careful disguises. As for the three Pains, they looked suspicious no matter how they disguised themselves, so they waited in the woods outside the city.

Anyway, if the situation arises, we can use the animal realm to communicate with each other.

In this atmosphere, Konan temporarily forgot all those messy thoughts and followed Nagato, looking at the prosperous scene that he would never see in Yuyin.

In front of a grilled fish restaurant, Nagato stopped and said with a smile: "Konan, it's been a while since we had a proper grilled fish meal."

"Yeah, I miss it so much."

Xiaonan looked at the signboard of the grilled fish shop and felt as if he had returned to his school days.

Looking at her expression, Lin Feng said, "I'll ask Tiandao to come over from outside the city."

Xiaonan shook his head gently: "Goodbye, we can't always remember the deceased in this way, we have to face the fact that he is no longer here."

She knew very well in her heart...even if Yahiko was still behind her, the person who truly depended on her was Nagato.

"Konan." Nagato looked at her strong back, feeling somewhat relieved and distressed.

I had the urge to go up to her, hug her and confess my love to her.

But he knew that was not possible. As long as she had not completely gotten over the shadow of Yahiko's death, he had to be careful and hide his little thoughts...

"Shopkeeper, give me a hot pot grilled fish, a large portion."

This grilled fish restaurant is doing brisk business.

Xiaonan likes quietness.

So, Nagato and she came to a secluded spot on the second floor.

The grilled fish is here... The store also gives away a variety of snacks, including deep-fried tofu.

Nagato took the fried tofu and placed it in front of himself.

Because Xiaonan doesn't like fried food.

In the pot, in the bubbling soup, a big, plump grilled fish is being adorned with various Japanese ingredients, exuding an aroma that tempts the taste buds...

Tears of shame are about to flow.

Nagato clasped his hands together and said devoutly, "I'm starting~!"

I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth to chew...

Ah, the meat is fresh and tender. The texture and taste of this unknown fish in the Naruto world is perfectly blended with the delicious soup, becoming a perfect match...

Ah...that smell is simply sabarasi!

"Is it delicious... Xiaonan."

"Hmm, it tastes really good." Xiaonan chewed slowly, apparently conquered by the taste...

The way she ate was so elegant that Nagato suddenly felt that the food tasted even better.

He knew Xiaonan's "physical data" very well: height 169.4cm, weight 45.3kg, measurements 88, 58, 85. (Official data)

Everything was perfect...but such a perfect Xiaonan, just like a girl next door, sat in front of her and enjoyed the meal.

Nagato felt unprecedented satisfaction.

He stared at Xiaonan with a peaceful look in his eyes... Xiaonan, who was unaware of this, picked up the miso soup to taste it, and subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced over...

Meeting Nagato's absent-minded gaze!

"!" Xiaonan's eyes panicked, her hands trembled, and the soup in the bowl spilled out. The white kimono skirt she had disguised herself as a civilian with paper was soaked by the rich soup in the blink of an eye...

Looking at the soup on Konan's paper clothes, Nagato calmed himself down, took off his coat neatly, put it on her, sat down neatly, and ate the fried tofu as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, the two came to the hot spring hotel in Momokazu.

It's a pity that the place is packed tonight and the place cannot be booked privately. Xiaonan doesn't seem to like this place.

At this point, Nagato suggested, "Konan, how about we go to the hot spring some other day?"

Xiaonan looked at the night sky and said yearningly, "It's good this way. In an open-air place, with only one or two people quietly soaking, that's the fun of hot springs."

"Uh."

He does not mean that.

Nagato was a little uneasy.

In fact, on the night when they stayed at the hot spring hotel in the Kingdom of Wind, Perrin and Xiaonan went into the women's bath together...

Chapter 16: There is hope for the conquest of the south!

That night, Nagato saw the blood-spurting scene.

But afterwards, he was not very happy.

"This just shows that, deep down, Xiaonan doesn't actually regard me as a member of the opposite sex, which is why she has no barriers between men and women. This bond and friendship is so strong that it makes people feel powerless..."

"Even if Yahiko's mourning period is over, it will be difficult for Konan and I to reach that stage. I think it will be a long way to go. But I won't be discouraged, even if it develops into a 'tug of war'!"

At this time, Nagato had no idea that their relationship would achieve a breakthrough one day in the near future.

And... in unexpected situations, in unexpected ways and in unexpected postures!

There were no difficulties or heavy tasks... but the road was not far, and it did not develop into a tug-of-war. If I had to describe it, it was a "surprise attack" for Nagato!

Although it was a surprise attack...it was so logical and smooth.

So much so that afterwards, whenever Nagato recalled it, he could only use two words to describe the experience after racking his brain: wonderful.

Of course, that’s all in the past…

Xiaonan also couldn't think of it. What she was thinking at the moment was: next time...if Nagato asked Lin to enter the women's bath again, what should I do? If I refuse, will it cause him to have unnecessary thoughts?

Enter the hotel.

Nagato said, "Boss, please open two rooms."

Hearing this, the mustachioed innkeeper glanced at the room number plate, rubbed his hands and said, "You two, I'm really sorry, there's only one room left in our inn."

"This..." While Nagato was hesitating, Konan had already taken out his wallet and was ready to book the room.

"I have reserved this room."

At this moment, a cold male voice came from the door.

A white-haired boy wearing a Konoha ninja uniform and a Konoha forehead protector walked in.

"Brother Shuimu, this isn't a good idea. They got here before us." Another boy appeared at the door and tried to dissuade them in an embarrassed voice.

"Iruka, it's fine that you don't drink with me, but you're also going to say something about me staying at a hotel? Ninjas have the right of first choice!"

Iruka was even more embarrassed: "But, but... the three prohibitions of ninja clearly stipulate that you cannot drink alcohol before the age of twenty."

Nagato's eyes flickered, and after a closer look, it was indeed... Iruka and Mizuki when they were children!

At this time, Iruka was nine years old and still attending the Ninja School. This time, he came with Mizuki, who had become a Genin, to gain experience. (In the official data book, Mizuki is five years older than Iruka)

"Hmph, the three forbidden things of ninja..." Shuimu snorted coldly, "You guy, I really can't get along with you."

After saying that, he insisted on walking over and asked the boss to give him the only remaining room.

"Alas." Iruka sighed helplessly, walked forward, and kept bowing to Nagato and Konan: "Brother and sister, I'm very sorry, my eldest brother is actually a very gentle person, he is just like this because he drank, can you please not blame him?"

"I am willing to pay for my own expenses and ask my brothers and sisters to stay in other hotels!"

Nagato smiled and said, "That's okay. There's just one room and there's no room for the two of us. We're just planning to move to another place. You don't have to spend any money!"

Iruka bowed repeatedly: "Thank you very much!"

Shuimu didn't take it seriously at first, but when Xiaonan passed by him...that cold and beautiful face made his eyes light up instantly.

Under the influence of alcohol... he actually blocked Xiaonan's way!

He lifted his hair, and a drunken and frivolous look appeared on the boy's face. He said, "Sister, you are quite pretty. Do you live in this town? Hehe, although I am younger than you, I am a ninja of Konoha!"

Xiaonan looked at Shuimu expressionlessly.

"Do you want to drink with me..." Under the influence of alcohol, Shuimu raised his hand and wanted to touch Xiaonan's face.

"Brother Shuimu, stop it!!!"

This scene frightened Iruka so much that he quickly shouted to stop it.

"Huh?" Shuimu turned around coldly and asked, "Iruka, you're going to hinder me again, right?"

Iruka said in embarrassment: "This kind of thing... is strictly prohibited by the village. I don't want you to be punished for it, big brother!"

At this time... the innkeeper's expression became subtle, and more and more people stopped to watch outside the inn.

Mizuki's expression changed and he waved his hand at Iruka: "Okay, okay, you are right. Go back to the village by yourself and don't come with me!"

Finally, Mizuki made way for Konan.

Iruka kept apologizing to Xiaonan: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my elder brother drank too much, please forgive his rude behavior..."

"Kangma Wan (It doesn't matter)." Xiaonan said in a cold voice.

Nagato didn't say a word the whole time, but... before he turned and left, he gave a cold look at Mizuki who was following the innkeeper upstairs.

No wonder... Ninjas have three taboos. Alcohol not only causes trouble, it can also cost a person's life.

At dawn the next day, Mizuki left Mokazu and ran towards the village alone in the woods.

He sobered up and started to feel scared.

"That bastard Iruka, he won't really tell the Yondaime what happened last night after returning to the village, right?"

Suddenly, Mizuki stopped.

Behind the swaying shadows of the trees, there stood a figure.

Mizuki picked up the shuriken on his back and demanded, "Who are you!"

That figure walked out slowly.

Mizuki...saw a cold face wearing the forehead protector of the Rain Hidden Ninja!

"Trash like you have no right to know who I am."

As soon as Pain Tiandao finished speaking, he raised his hand... Mizuki's body flew over out of thin air.

"Crack!!!" A black stick...exploded through his heart!

"You..." Shuimu's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it until his death. Why... would it turn out like this?

In the original work, the guy who killed his injured teammate while on duty and later instigated Naruto to steal the "Book of Seals" died at the age of sixteen.

Soon, Nagato and Konan came to Tendou and looked at Mizuki's body. Konan said, "There's no need to kill for such a small matter."

Nagato said: "Killing him is not the main purpose. The main purpose is that the next operation requires a temporary increase in the number of Pains..."

"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!"

Nagato thrust the broken black stick into Mizuki's face and body. The King of Hell rose up and swallowed Mizuki whole, chewing him! !

"Feel honored, trash, that you can be my human Pain for the next few days!"

In the cold wind, Xiaonan restrained her expression and looked at Nagato's back solemnly...

This... is how Nagato should be when facing someone other than herself.

"Where are the other... two Peins?"
