Konoha's Love Master

Wu Ye nodded again, but said nothing more.

"Let's go. It's been three years. You and I have been willful enough. It's time to go back."

Jiraiya put his big hand on his shoulder and led him down the hillside.

When I returned to the two wooden houses, I saw Xiaonan sitting inside the house with a calm face. He was concentrating on folding paper as usual, and there was nothing unusual to see.

But Yahiko and Nagato were outside, lying on the windowsill, looking worried.

The time to say goodbye has finally arrived.

Chapter 177 Why is poverty alleviation necessary?

"Jiraiya-sensei and I will be leaving tomorrow due to a mission."

Hinata Muye did not wait for Jiraiya to explain the situation, but walked forward and told the three of them in concise terms.

Yahiko and Nagato were stunned for a moment.

Xiaonan Origami's little hand also paused.

They all knew that separation would come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly and so urgently...

I don't want to wait even for a moment.

"Teacher, what happened?" Yahiko couldn't help but ask.

"It's a normal war order."

Hinata Muye looked calm, just like Konan, and there was no sign of any wrong emotion on his face.

"War order?!"

Yahiko exclaimed, and Nagato and Konan also looked over, unable to hide their worry.

Wu Ye had no intention of hiding it from them.

In other words, from the very beginning when he taught them, he had never concealed anything about the ninja world or the war.

"The local war phase of the Second Ninja World War has ended, because the major countries have recovered in the past three years and have the strength to fight again."

"Iwagakure suffered heavy losses when Kumogakure robbed their home before, and they may retaliate, but they have offended Sensei Orochimaru, and with Sensei Jiraiya three years later, they may fail again in the end."

"The Kumogakure may continue to take advantage of the situation at the Iwagakure, or they may launch a surprise attack on Konoha. Of course, the most likely scenario is that they will be instigated by Konoha to launch a surprise attack on the Kirigakure or Sandagakure, because they really like to do this kind of sneaky stuff."

"As for Sunagakure, they suffered the heaviest losses during the previous total war, but they are the most likely to seek peace."

"As for us, Konoha, as long as we can hold on until the end of the war, we will be the victorious party."

After Hinata Muye finished speaking, Yahiko and the other two fell into thought.

"Teacher, I have always had a question."

Yahiko suddenly looked up and asked, "The Fire Nation obviously has the strongest power, why has it never planned to annex other countries, and always passively participates in wars?"

Jiraiya shook his head upon hearing this, seeming helpless.

Hinata Muye said, "The Land of Lightning is on a plateau, the Land of Earth has poor soil, the Land of Water has only islands and swamps, the Land of Wind is even more of a desert, and the Land of Fire has the best land. Why do they still want to unify the ninja world? Isn't it better to earn some foreign exchange and cut leeks? Why do we need to help the poor?"

“Help…help the poor…”

Yahiko was stunned.

But when he thought about it again, he found that there was really no more appropriate word than this. The Fire Nation's annexation of other countries was actually to alleviate poverty...

"So, teacher..."

When Konan's pleasant voice came, Yahiko subconsciously closed his mouth.

"If you were the Hokage, what would you do?" she asked calmly.

Jiraiya raised his brows and looked at Wuye.

"Let's kill the Daimyo first and take complete control of the Land of Fire." Hinata Muye said without hesitation.

Jiraiya: "..."

"Then look at your strength. If you are strong enough, you will unify the ninja world. If you are not strong enough, you will fight an economic war, block the economic lifelines of the other four major countries, weaken the funding of their ninja villages, and strengthen yourself until you can unify the ninja world." Hinata Wuye said again.

Yahiko's face twitched: "Teacher, unifying the ninja world is easy to say, but many people will die."

Hinata Muye sneered: "That's better than the death toll from a Ninja World War that breaks out from time to time."

Yahiko choked.

For an idealist, Hinata Muye's murderous and bloody style is obviously incompatible with his values.

"So, teacher's peace means turning the whole world into one country?" Xiaonan said softly.

Her eyes were calm and gentle, and it was unclear whether she agreed or disagreed with the idea.

"Only by uniting as one country can we stop fighting each other and the whole world can enter a period of rapid development." Hinata Muye said.

Jiraiya questioned: "How can you guarantee that we won't fall apart again after unification? After all, there will be no pressure from external enemies."

Who said there are no external enemies? Any member of the Otsutsuki clan can destroy the world with a flip of their hands. I just want to ask you if you are afraid.

"I can only say that we should try to improve the national system of the great unity, make distribution reasonable, reduce the privileges of vested interests, and make the unity last longer," Hinata Wuye said, "As for the split again, then let it split. When we are united again, we will usher in a new round of development."

Yahiko and Nagato looked at each other, and Konan was also a little confused.

I don't even know how to comment on it.

Although his horizons are broad enough, his thoughts are still limited to this era of one country and one village, and to this world. His search for peace is still constrained by the framework.

But if you don't have the courage to break the current pattern, it's not funny to say that it will bring about changes in the ninja world...

After all the changes, it's still a small-scale process of staying in one place.

Yahiko, the other two, and Jiraiya did not speak for a long, long time.

Yahiko and the others were confused. They had too little experience and were unable to make a judgment. They didn't know whether what Hinata Muye said was good or bad.

Jiraiya did come up with a lot of new ideas, but he was worried that such a pragmatic Hyuga Muya would lead Konoha into the quagmire of war and cause the ninja world to lose even the last piece of pure land.

Wu Ye ignored the struggles of the four idealists.

He temporarily made two huge wooden boards, one placed on the two wooden houses and the other placed in the middle of the wooden houses, thus forming a spacious space that would not be affected by the rain.

Then the grill was taken out from the scroll, along with some fresh ingredients and seasonings.

He prepared the last supper very carefully.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Yahiko and the other two quickly put aside their messy thoughts and came over to help.

Jiraiya just kept his arms crossed, watching the rain falling sparsely from the sky.

"I am indeed an ordinary ninja and I can't understand these things."

"The Ninja World Changes... The Child of Destiny..."

"Minato... Muya... Nagato..."

"I will watch you to see who will bring about change, and see what the future of the ninja world will look like..."

"If I could live forever..."

He thought about this.

"Teacher, let's have barbecue."

Suddenly, the voice of Hinata Muye was heard.

Jiraiya looked back and saw four young men and women sitting around a charcoal fire. Their hair colors were different, but their faces glowed in the warm firelight.

"I'm coming!"

He suddenly smiled.

Everyone has his or her own beliefs and his or her own position.

He chose to do what he could and then hand the world over to these young people.

For this, he was willing to sacrifice his life.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, from now on you will have to live your own lives, work hard on your own, and fight for your own ideals."

Jiraiya's hearty laughter could be heard everywhere.

"I hope I will hear your names in the future, and by then the Rain Country will become peaceful and tranquil."

Yahiko and the other two looked at each other, and flames danced in each other's eyes.

"Most definitely."

Yahiko affirmed.

Chapter 178 Abnormal Tsunade

"Konan, the teacher and Jiraiya-sama have already left."

The next morning, when Yahiko and Nagato woke up, they found that Jiraiya was gone.

When I walked out of the wooden door, I saw Xiaonan standing alone in the wind and rain, his thin back motionless.

"Well, they didn't say goodbye. They left in the middle of the night."

Xiaonan's voice came through the wind and rain, still so calm.

Yahiko and Nagato looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Over the past three years, they have seen how much Xiaonan relies on Wuye.

Now that we are separated, we may never see each other again.

Even if we meet again, we may be enemies.

How sad and desperate she must be...

"Xiaonan..."

Yahiko took a few steps forward and wanted to say something, but his mouth seemed to be tied and he couldn't utter any words of comfort.

"Yahiko...Nagato..."

Xiaonan raised her head, looked at the sky, and let the raindrops hit her delicate face.

"We always say that this country is always crying..."

"The rain is like the tears on people's faces, it never stops..."

“But today I suddenly felt that it was also very good…”

"At least…"

“It’s crying with me…”

Moreover, people cannot fail to see the tears on each other’s faces, even if they are crying bitterly…

Yahiko and Nagato failed to understand what Konan meant, and just stood with her in the rain.

Until one moment, Xiaonan suddenly walked forward.

"Let's go. From now on, we are...Akatsuki."

The two quickly followed.

The backs of the three people gradually disappeared in the rain.

The only light in the Rain Kingdom finally took its first step in the thick clouds.

...

A few thousand meters away, Hinata Muye stood on a tree trunk wearing a raincoat and breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Xiaonan finally stopped crying in the rain.

How much effort did such a quiet and sensible girl put in not to cry in front of others?

The suppressed heartache was heavy, cutting into my heart bit by bit.

"We'll see each other again, wait for me, Xiaonan..."
