In Konoha, Naruto lies down

However, when Uchiha Madara opened his Samsara Eye, he was already in his twilight years and could only use Obito to revive him. Just as Uchiha Madara planned Rin's death, Obito used Nagato to plan Yahiko's death for him.

Obito really can't be cleared, and Nagato is not that innocent either.

Naruto doesn't care about their lives, and he only wants to let the dogs fight each other. Even Obito would find it difficult to face Nagato who has the Rinnegan and is on guard.

He wasn't used to having everything taken upon himself, that was the face of a savior. If you took the Samsara Eye, you had to bear the consequences.

Perhaps Obito would invade Konoha, perhaps capture the people he cared about as a threat. He didn't want that to happen, so he took himself out.

It is a fact that it was Jiraiya who defeated Nagato.

Nagato still has his Rinnegan, but his attitude has changed. There are doubts about Yahiko's death, and as long as Nagato is alive, he will definitely investigate.

As for how Obito and Black Zetsu should respond, that's his own karma. He's not innocent, and this is what he deserves. If Nagato is truly in danger, Naruto won't sit idly by.

Nagato was the sword in his hand, and he was eager for Nagato to grow up and build a stronger organization. The more trouble he caused to Obito, the happier he was.

Naruto relied on the system to squeeze out Ashura's reincarnation wedge and strip the Nine-Tails from his body, simply because he didn't want to be a savior. If he took all the trouble on himself, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Leaving Nagato as a time bomb for Obito, Naruto picked up a wave of chakra black sticks left by Uchiha Madara and stole Hydrangea.

........

Yuyin crossed mountains and seas, and several months passed.

Together with Nagato and Konan, he buried Yahiko and planted the seeds of the Immortality Flower. He also accompanied Jiraiya to several places, investigated some issues, and finally stabilized the situation in the Land of Rain.

The world still hasn't seen peace, and the Land of Rain still experiences heavy rain year-round. But the difference is that the Hidden Rain Village will no longer face war, and there are faint signs of peace.

Nagato was a little resistant at first, but when Jiraiya said that a world of mutual understanding would surely come, Nagato soon felt relieved.

Summer has passed in a flash, winter snow is coming, hot spring country, hot springs.

After running for more than half a year, the master and apprentice finally had a short break. Taking a bath also meant that they were about to separate again.

Naruto prepares to return to the village, and Jiraiya continues his journey to find the child of prophecy.

The hot springs were filled with mist, and the two of them felt refreshed. The fatigue from the travels for half a year melted away in the hot spring water, and they felt a lot lighter.

"Naruto, you will be almost an adult after the New Year." Jiraiya leaned against the hot spring pool with his bare chest, a white towel on his head, and a chopping board was placed on the shore.

There were some food neatly stacked on it, along with a small wine flask. The light from the hot spring stretched forward a foot, just enough to hit most of Jiraiya's back.

"more or less."

Naruto leaned against the other side of the hot spring pool, his head tilted back, a folded towel covering his eyes. He looked stronger, yet thinner, with his long arms and legs drooping in the water.

He looked so lazy, as if his bones had really been soaked.

Chapter 291: The young man is always enthusiastic and full of vigor, but the wind chime makes him panic

"You are such a..." Jiraiya laughed dumbly, touched the wine flask and took another sip, "Sometimes I really can't tell what you want." "I don't know, people don't necessarily want the same thing, they want different things at different times."

"What do you want now?"

"Lie down." Naruto relaxed his muscles in the water and took off the towel covering his eyes with one hand. "Go home and lie down peacefully. Rest for a month before making any plans."

"After I've rested for a month, maybe there will be something else I want."

"That sounds like something you would do. As for me..." Jiraiya paused in his drinking, "I don't even know what I want."

"Nagato's incident made me reflect on whether there was something wrong with my way of education. Your philosophy is completely different from mine, but now I think it's not bad."

"If I can live a peaceful and stable life, it would be a good ending."

"You lecherous sage, you're always sighing for no reason. That's when you're really old." Naruto said with a smile, "I'm going back to my village, and you go on your way to find your child of prophecy."

He stretched out his hand and raised the towel, looking up at the misty wooden roof, his eyes bright as stars.

"The road is long and we all have our own choices. You seek a peaceful world of mutual understanding, and I go home and spend time with my friends, which is also a kind of beauty."

"Who can predict the future? No one's words count. Only when you find and see it yourself, that's the truth."

Jiraiya took a sip of his wine and smiled, thinking that this was something Naruto could say. The scorching sun has its own beauty, and the bright moon has its own character.

Everyone has his or her own destiny, whether born into glory or into the dust. Walking in the world, no one knows what the future will hold.

Those who are in a good position may live a life of treading on thin ice, or they may live a life of great comfort. But those who are in a bad position may still live a good life despite experiencing hardships.

Jiraiya has accepted disciples like Minato, who was as gentle as jade and as scorching as the sun, and he has also accepted outstanding disciples like Yahiko, the gentle Konan, and the introverted Nagato.

He never defined the lives of his disciples, but only tried his best to teach them his own philosophy. It was only natural for disciples to inherit their master's philosophy.

But after what happened to Nagato Yahiko, he hesitated and felt lost. He had been worrying about this for months, but in the end, he only dared to express it casually in a joking manner during conversation.

But Naruto's words made him realize that what he insisted on was not wrong.

If the sun goes out, try your best to light a fire. If the mountains and rivers collapse and the world is destroyed, then dig yourself a comfortable grave.

There are always things worth running for, and there are always some lives worth not wasting. The future is always on the road, and the enthusiasm of youth is open and unrestrained, with infinite scenery.

Individuals may be insignificant, but they always believe in hope.

This is Jiraiya's way of ninja. A ninja is someone who can endure. In any case, what is more important than superb ninjutsu is the perseverance to never give up.

Even in the face of setbacks, I will continue to move forward firmly and will never go back on my oath.

Naruto inherited his ninja way and had his own ideas.

The future is bright and beautiful. No matter how miserable you are, try your best to struggle. Even if you are stuck in a mud pit, your heart is still a weed, and a little spark can burn the sky.

"Minato has a good son." Jiraiya seemed drunk and whispered to himself.

Naruto, who was leaning on the side, actually heard it, but didn't take it to heart.

In the country of soup, the two parted ways.

Jiraiya continued his journey, and Naruto was in no hurry to return. He went to the Land of Hot Water for a while, spending money and stocking up. Then he went to the Land of Grass and had another great time.

On the way, he did not forget to replenish resources for the two guests in the sealed space. Apart from the lack of personal freedom in prison, it seemed that they were not treated unfairly.

He had other uses for the hydrangea, and as for imprisoning the two Yukitos, it was to suppress the Hidden Cloud Village. Sooner or later, they would clash with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village, so keeping them would be of great use.

As the end of the year approached, he finally returned to the Land of Fire and ran all the way to Tansho Street.

He remembered that Tayuya was still waiting for him, but he wasn't sure if she had returned. The situation was urgent, and it was really inconvenient not having a communicator these days.

The most prosperous area of ​​Tance Street is bustling with people and the winter weather is bright.

The market was still packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, and bustling with activity. A thin layer of ice formed outside the small building that belonged to him and Tayuya, and snow hung from the protruding eaves.

He tentatively took out the key from the sealed space and opened the door. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw his pair of slippers still at the entrance.

I bent over and tried to fit them. They were so small that they didn't fit at all. But there was no dust on the shoes. They were old but clean.

Time has become a memory, and six years have already passed in the blink of an eye. After this year's end, he will be an adult, and his old shoes will no longer fit him.

The old-fashioned TV screen in the living room was on, and no one was sitting on the sofa. The white noise of the TV echoed in the living room on the first floor. When he went up the stairs, he was almost startled by the loud sound of his own footsteps.

He remembered that this staircase wasn't that noisy, and going up and down the stairs didn't make that much noise. Every time he climbed a step, his footsteps would respond enthusiastically.

In the empty house, the crisp footsteps seemed harsh.

There were two rooms on the second floor that were closed, one belonging to Tayuya and the other to him. To be precise, he had only lived there once, but he had definitely left traces.

He stood in front of the two doors and subconsciously reached out to open Tayuya's door. But when his hand touched the door handle, he pulled it back as if it had been burned.

"Maybe she's gone out and hasn't come back yet. It's not very polite to do this," he murmured.

So he reached out and pushed open the door that belonged to him.

The moment the lights came on, the room gave him a strange yet familiar feeling. The bed and floor were spotless.

On the table were his used towels, toothbrush, and spare clothes, all sealed in transparent boxes.

At that moment, Naruto finally understood what the familiar feeling that flashed through him in this strange room was. Looking at the clothes in the box that were too small to wear, he couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

I walked around the room and found a clean quilt. I opened the window, and the dazzling sunlight poured in, and the wind chimes on the balcony tinkled.

That wind chime is almost exactly the same as the one in his old house. Did he remember it after visiting there once, so he just bought it?

He casually pulled the wind chime along the thin line, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and the calmness he tried hard to maintain was instantly broken.

A line of tiny words was engraved around the wind chime, "Tayuya and Naruto's wind chime."

He let go of the wind chime, letting it swing and tinkle. Subconsciously lowering his head, he opened the transparent box and began to examine the items inside. No more writing appeared.

As if he had thought of something, he left the room quickly, forgetting to close the door. He hurried downstairs, his footsteps sounding like dense drumbeats.

He flipped open the doll on the sofa and found a ribbon tied to the back with his and Tayuya's names written on it. The pillows, TV, cups, and the densely packed notes made him panic.

Why does this person believe everything he says?

Chapter 292 So, are you still leaving?

He sat on the sofa for a while, thinking about the wind chime, feeling a little depressed. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, this uneasiness did not last long, and the door was opened from the outside.

A cold wind rushed in. Tayuya was wrapped in a thick white cotton-padded jacket, carrying food in her hands. The light was on in the entrance hall, casting shadows on the half-open door.

Perhaps it was because it was still broad daylight, but she was taken aback by the sudden sight of a pair of unfamiliar shoes in the dark light. She glanced around and subconsciously hid the food in her hand.

The entrance and the living room formed a 90-degree angle, so the living room's interior couldn't be seen. Tayuya stood there blankly for a moment, then quietly turned around and closed the door.

After quickly changing her shoes, she hid the food behind her and quietly walked into the living room.

The moment Naruto heard the sound, he lay down on the sofa on the first floor and pretended to sleep while listening to the TV. He didn't open his eyes until he felt a dark shadow pressing down on him and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Tayuya, her fiery red hair flowing freely, leaned down, seemingly gazing at him. Her golden pupils glowed faintly, as if about to be cursed.

Meeting Naruto's gaze, she didn't react.

The two stared at each other for about ten seconds, in an almost silent atmosphere. Tayuya reached out and touched Naruto's face, then revealed a faint smile.

With a loud bang, a large bag of barbecue was taken out directly from behind her. Because she pulled it out too hard, a few drops of hot oil splashed on his face.

Naruto: "Huh?"

"Here!" she said.

He wiped a few drops of oil off his face, put the food aside for the time being, pointed to the room on the second floor and asked.

“When did you buy the wind chime?”

"Four years ago, I saw one that looked very similar to yours and bought it." Tayuya had nothing to hide and stared at him for a few more seconds. "How did you escape that day?"

She was probably referring to the time in the Hidden Rain Village when Naruto told her to flee. Pein was indeed powerful, and Tayuya naturally assumed that he must have put in a lot of effort to escape.

"Oh, you managed to escape," he continued. "After you escaped, did you go straight home?"

"Well..." Duoyou felt a little guilty, "You looked for me?"

He was about to say no, but swallowed the words back. No Time Will Come frowned and asked, "Why don't you go home directly? Didn't I tell you to go home directly?"

"I never thought you would come to me..." Tayuya lowered her head and kept her legs together.

"Forget it." Naruto stood up and pulled her down, pressing her onto the sofa. "Let's eat something first. The trouble in the Hidden Rain Village has been resolved."

"Oh, did you escape smoothly?" She understood the solution to be a smooth escape, and she didn't think that Payne had been completely dealt with.

Pain's pressure was truly terrifying; everyone they brought with them died there. Tayuya had no doubt that if Naruto hadn't shown up, she wouldn't have survived.

She was already very satisfied that she could survive.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of life, she thought that being alive was better than being dead. When she thought about being alone after death, she felt that being alive was better.

It was quite interesting to join the wandering ninja organization and travel around. She didn't understand a lot of things, so she killed batch after batch of people who wanted to harm her.

"Not really. Solved means that those guys have been beaten to pieces." Naruto made a gesture of wiping his neck, took a bite of food, and said greasyly.

"Anyway, the Hidden Rain Village has changed a lot. Maybe they've replaced a bunch of people. The situation is a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain right now."

"That sounds great." Tayuya nodded. She was actually very smart, but she knew that sometimes there was no need to delve too deeply into a problem.

Others told her that boys don't say it on the surface, but they also like to be praised. When a boy shares something with her, it is easy to win his heart by praising him appropriately.

"Indeed, I am still quite powerful." Naruto said with a smile.

This was different from what she had learned, and for a moment she didn't know how to continue the conversation. After thinking carefully about what the sisters had said, she realized that these shameless boys were probably not easy to deal with.

"Yeah, that's great." She nodded seriously.

The food was quickly gone, and Naruto clapped his hands, stood up, and slowly walked upstairs. He just said he was a little tired from traveling and was going to wash up and go to bed. Tayuya's eyes flashed, and she said "oh" and dodged.
