Human trafficking? The traffickers are the children's parents? This world is beyond saving!
Seeing his dazed expression, the elderly people holding children finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Sir, please, I beg you! My granddaughter is young, sensible, and obedient. She's willing to serve you like a slave. Please accept her!"
"My lord! My daughter is very beautiful; you can take her home and raise her as your concubine!"
"Anything is acceptable? Selling yourself into slavery?"
Nagato felt a dryness at the corners of his mouth.
They nodded.
Good heavens! The abominable system of slavery still exists in this world!
"What's so good about being a slave? Don't you know that children raised like that will grow up without humanity and dignity?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
They shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
"If we can't even survive, can dignity put food on the table?"
Nagato finally developed a deep-seated malice towards those "conservatives" within this imperial world.
Who exactly is saying that the ninja village system is good?
Who exactly is spreading rumors that the people live in peace and prosperity under the joint rule of the Daimyo and the Ninja Village?
Nagato injected the potion given to him by the Emperor into his body, and a powerful force awakened within him.
In the distance, Jiraiya watched this scene with a sense of unease.
Wait a minute! Is he disappointed with the world?
Jiraiya's heart tightened, and without caring about revealing himself, he instantly appeared in front of Nagato.
Of the three, Nagato is the most wavering. It would be very important to win him over to Konoha or to gather some information from him!
Jiraiya casually remarked, "Don't be fooled by how miserable these refugees are now. Once they reach the Land of Fire, a large number of nobles and merchants will be willing to take them in. The talk of selling their children is just their personal behavior of not wanting to support them. Such a situation doesn't even exist within the Land of Fire."
Upon hearing these words, Nagato suppressed the power that was reviving within him.
"Really? Why were those nobles and merchants willing to accept them?"
Jiraiya smiled; it was a good thing that the other party was willing to communicate.
"That must be because the Land of Fire is rich and powerful, and everyone there is filled with love and justice."
Jiraiya had intended to say that these people were cheap labor, but he changed his mind before he could finish.
"Are you new to the Land of Fire? I think you need a guide. I can show you around and show you the culture and scenery of our Land of Fire."
Jiraiya, ever the friendly one, extended an invitation.
Nagato hesitated slightly before nodding.
Indeed, you can't see anything from just one small detail; I was a bit impulsive just now.
"Are you a ninja from the Land of Fire?"
Upon hearing this, those around immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, avoiding him like the plague.
Chapter 5 Konoha's True F4
Looking at the dispersing crowd, Nagato couldn't quite understand the deep disgust and fear in their eyes.
You must understand that within the empire, the envy in the eyes of ordinary people when they learn you're a ninja is undeniable.
Even on several occasions when he went on missions, the civilians would try to give him things and gifts in order to establish a connection with him.
He felt the empire was corrupt, and that even a lowly ninja like himself received gifts from people trying to establish a connection with him.
But he never expected that ninjas would be so disliked in this world.
The disgust and fear in their eyes were almost tangible.
He couldn't comprehend how even a low-level ninja could have a productivity hundreds or thousands of times greater than an ordinary person.
How can something that benefits a large area of people be disliked?
"Heh, their reaction is quite normal. The Land of Rivers doesn't have any ninja villages; their own ninjas are basically all recruited by their daimyo to control them. That's why they are sensitive and disgusted by the word 'ninja.'"
"This kind of situation would be impossible in our Land of Fire. The people hold ninjas in awe."
Jiraiya noticed Nagato's brow furrowing slightly and explained with a smile.
"As for me, as you can see, I'm just an ordinary little ninja from the Land of Fire."
Nagato was slightly disappointed.
The "master" of this world was so weak, especially when he felt the weak chakra that the other party had inadvertently let out. He shook his head.
Keep in mind that in the Empire, Jiraiya's master was hailed as one of the Legendary Sannin by the Emperor, possessing Sage Mode power that was nearly at the Six Paths level. Perhaps only by relying on his newly awakened Rinnegan could he possibly contend with him.
And this otherworldly master in front of me can't even do the most basic thing: control my chakra so it doesn't leak out.
Seeing Nagato standing there dumbfounded, Jiraiya proudly raised his head, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
"Hmph, scared by me, huh? Well, that makes sense. My strength surpasses that of some Kage. I deliberately let out a wisp of chakra so he could sense it, and that's why I reacted like this. I guess he's stunned to learn that even a lowly ninja like me here possesses such power."
Hopefully, this will deter them from invading.
Jiraiya was quite satisfied with his actions just now. His long travels had taught him that resolving conflicts without bloodshed was the best way to deal with problems.
For example, how your cunning actions might intimidate the other party at this moment!
"I still don't know your name?"
Jiraiya, seeing that the other person was still in a daze, asked...
"Me? You can call me Nagato."
"Nagato?"
Jiraiya frowned, but quickly relaxed.
Yes, they all claim to be from a parallel world, so it's not a problem that they have the same name and appearance as his apprentice.
However, Jiraiya was curious about one thing: they had the same name, looked the same, and were even about the same age.
What are the differences between that parallel world and our own world?
"Nagato, we in the Land of Fire are very hospitable. Where would you like to begin learning about our Land of Fire?"
Nagato was not averse to this otherworldly master who was outwardly showing goodwill but was actually testing him.
Having someone guide you is definitely better than blindly guessing on your own.
Moreover, after sensing the aura he had just unleashed, he stepped forward without fear.
Doesn't this demonstrate his outstanding self-sacrifice and patriotism?
A land of fire where even the lowest-ranking ninjas possess such a spirit of sacrifice must be a wonderful place, right?
I did act impulsively just now. I'm supposed to be the one saving the world, how could I be so short-sighted?
With this thought in mind, Nagato said, "I want to go to the capital of the Land of Fire first, and then go to Konoha Village."
Jiraiya's heart tightened.
So, they still haven't given up on the idea of intrusion?
After years of traveling the world, Jiraiya made a decision in an instant.
He decided to communicate with Nagato more during the journey, and see if he could persuade him to extract more information from him.
If his mind doesn't change in the end, then we must plan an ambush to capture him. We absolutely cannot let him bring war and disaster to Konoha!
Konoha Village, Hokage Building
The former Second Hokage's guards, now the Konoha's F4, are all gathered together.
Besides Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, the two powerful Kage, there are also Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two old, short-sighted culinary gods.
They were now discussing with serious expressions the information they had just obtained from the summoning toad of Mount Myōboku, which came from Jiraiya.
"Hiruzen, are you sure this isn't just Jiraiya's novel material being sent to the wrong place?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, puffing on a long opium pipe, had cloudy eyes.
"Danzo, do you really believe in parallel worlds?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes, remaining silent.
To be honest, even in their position, they had never heard of any parallel worlds.
However, based on their experience over their long lifespans, the existence of three great immortal lands and countless immortals and gods suggests that the concept of parallel universes may indeed be true!
"Based on Jiraiya-sama's condition at the time, this should be true, because his expression was extremely serious, and we were indeed in the Valley of the End, where I could definitely sense three extremely powerful chakras."
The toad added at this moment
Because of Jiraiya, Mount Myōboku has always maintained a good relationship with Konoha.

"Alright, whatever the reason, since we already knew the situation beforehand, there shouldn't be any major consequences. After all, they're just three ninjas with suspected Kage-level strength."
Koharu, turning the dorm, spoke indifferently.
Konoha can't even muster a single full-fledged Kage-level character right now, but her words implied she didn't even consider three Kage-level characters a threat.
"Danzo, you will continue to be in charge of investigating this matter. If you can capture and interrogate them with minimal losses, that would be best. If not, then release this information. Otherwise, let Konoha bear the burden of this so-called threat from a parallel universe."
Mitokaku inflammation is also not taken seriously.
The ninja world is currently in turmoil, so how strong can a ninja from this parallel world be? Furthermore, will the cost of traveling through time be so easy to bear?
The current situation in the ninja world is dire. The emergence of a new world might allow them to shift their conflicts outwards, thus alleviating their internal contradictions.
"Leave this matter to me; we will give you all a satisfactory answer."
"But since you're all here, I have a question I'd like to ask the Hokage."
Danzo spoke, his gaze turning sinister as he looked at the Third Hokage.
