Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 139 You guys aren't extreme enough.

Jiraiya-sensei is an idiot.

This viewpoint was unanimously endorsed by Jiraiya's disciples.

They may still have a lot of respect for that clumsy teacher, but that doesn't stop them from disliking how their teacher always makes some silly mistakes.

"you mean…"

Nagato frowned, still wanting to refuse the suggestion: "Are we supposed to deceive Jiraiya-sensei with lies? I can't do that..."

Yes.

Nagato is not a good liar.

Even Nagato wasn't good at hiding his feelings.

Even when Jiraiya mistakenly believed that Yahiko was still alive, Nagato did not admit that Yahiko was alive. He even said that Yahiko was dead. He was not a good person at deceiving, so it was already very difficult for him to keep the secret.

"Nagato wouldn't lie."

Xiao Nan frowned as well.

Akihara Kagura glanced at the emaciated Nagato in his wheelchair and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you when you meet..."

"What do you want me to do?"

Konan looked at Akihara Kagura, somewhat disbelieving her junior brother: "If you help us, won't Jiraiya-sensei suspect you?"

"Absolutely not."

Akihara Kagura has great confidence in herself.

"it is good."

Nagato and Konan agreed.

Because the two of them had very few ties in this world, apart from the deceased Yahiko, they only had a teacher who had taken care of them for three years.

If just meeting this teacher once can put the teacher at ease, it would indeed be a good thing for the Akatsuki organization.

"Oh, right."

Akihara Kagura then reminded them, "Don't let too many people know my identity. Before we go to see Jiraiya-sensei, have Orochimaru go to Sunagakure, and then reveal Orochimaru's information to Jiraiya-sensei when they meet..."

"In that case..."

"After you met, Jiraiya-sensei lost interest in staying in the Land of Rain to investigate the Akatsuki organization. He definitely had to rush to Sunagakure to stop Orochimaru's plot."

"..."

Nagato and Konan were startled.

This fellow disciple's scheming is rather frightening!

If what he said is true, Jiraiya-sensei definitely won't be in the mood to stay in the Land of Rain, and will probably be heading to Sunagakure soon!

"snort…"

Obito Uchiha had long been aware of Akihara Kagura's scheming and was no longer surprised by it. In any case, this kid was just a pawn to help collect the tailed beasts in the future.

"I'm leaving now."

Akihara Kagura waved goodbye to them and then teleported away from where she stood.

"This kid has a very extreme personality."

After seeing Akihara Kagura disappear, Obito Uchiha spoke up, "Once that brat becomes Hokage, he'll definitely start the Fourth Shinobi World War, which will affect our plans."

"..."

Nagato and Konan both fell silent.

Could it be that this guy was actually right about what Akihara Kagura said, and is jealous that Akihara Kagura was able to succeed him as Hokage because he couldn't become Hokage?

"I'll go and continue recruiting."

"You should handle the affairs of the Rain Kingdom properly."

Obito Uchiha ignored their thoughts. A space-time vortex appeared in his Mangekyou Sharingan, causing his body to disappear from the spot.

"This guy..."

Xiao Nan's expression was somewhat grave. She said in a low voice, "We must find a way to break his space-time ability. This guy's personality and abilities are too dangerous."

"Xiao Nan".

Nagato shook his head, indicating to his companions not to worry, and then brought up the junior brother they had met that day: "Let's go back and prepare before we go see Jiraiya-sensei."

Akatsuki, the new base.

This base is definitely not as good as the original one.

However, Sasori of the Red Sand managed to keep the place in perfect order, and even buried some small puppet parts for monitoring in some key places.

of course.

Sasori of the Red Sand cannot be considered a true workaholic.

The true workhorse of the Akatsuki organization is Kakuzu, an old man who has lived from the early days of the ninja village to this era. He leaves the base early in the morning to carry out his employment commission and collect new hearts, because the hearts he collected using the Earth Grudge Fear technique have all been crushed by Akihara Kagura.

Other than that.

Orochimaru is the most carefree person.

A few days ago on the battlefield, Orochimaru was abandoned by the Akatsuki members to act as bait to attract the enemy, but no one expected that he would actually come back alive.

Fortunately, none of the members of the Akatsuki organization have much of a conscience.

Orochimaru knew these people were no good, so he didn't criticize them. He simply stayed in the Akatsuki organization, waiting for an opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.

Unfortunately.

After Orochimaru returned, he never saw Nagato again.

Sasori and Kakuzu both chose to side with Konan, and Orochimaru didn't think he could win either, so he could only continue to bury himself in his experiments to pass the time.

Deep within this base.

The statue, which looked like a sculpture, still stood tall.

Nagato and Konan returned with Pain, continuing to let Pain lead the Akatsuki organization. No one else in the Akatsuki could be a match for Pain.

Pain summoned everyone and, following the plan devised by Akihara Kagura, announced a new mission: "There's a mission: assassinate the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa. You're all capable of handling this, right, Sasori?"

"Luo Sha?"

Sasori of the Red Sand seemed completely unaware.

The S-rank rogue ninja from Sunagakure nodded, unconcerned about accepting the mission to assassinate the Kazekage, and agreed to the task: "Rasa's Magnet Release ability to absorb gold dust is also very interesting. It seems I can have another interesting puppet."

From any perspective...

This task should be entrusted to Sasori of the Red Sand.

Orochimaru didn't have any objections. Assassinating the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, wasn't a difficult task; he considered it just a mission that might be slightly troublesome.

When Pain saw that Sasori and Orochimaru had no objections, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief; at least the first step of their plan had succeeded.

Next…

It was a meeting with Jiraiya-sensei.

the other side.

In front of Yahiko's tombstone.

Jiraiya was unaware that the body underground had been stolen, and he continued to secretly guard the grave with Akihara Kagura, waiting for Nagato and Konan to arrive.

only.

Jiraiya strictly forbade Akihara Kagura from practicing ninjutsu here, lest she disturb Nagato and Konan, and make the other two disciples worry and dare not come over.

late at night.

The moonlight remained bright.

Jiraiya leaned against a tree, dozing off.

A woman with light blue hair pushed a wheelchair toward Yahiko's empty grave. Sitting in the wheelchair was a gaunt, red-haired man. Both of them had expressionless faces.

after all…

They all knew this was an empty grave.

Kagura Akihara, lying in the tree, saw Nagato and Konan and didn't know what to say about them. She could only sigh inwardly, "Their acting is so mediocre. These two fellow disciples really do seem like honest people..."

under the tree.

Jiraiya's eyes suddenly snapped open!

The tall man leaped up with surprising agility and landed in front of Yahiko's tombstone, where he saw his two disciples.

"Nagato? Konan?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, it's been a long time..."

Nagato turned his head slightly to look at his teacher, but his emaciated body and somewhat restrained expression prevented him from being as arrogant and aloof as Pain.

"you…"

When Jiraiya saw Nagato sitting in a wheelchair, his expression immediately turned grim, just like in the past, as he wanted to check on his disciple's leg injury.

This is no ordinary injury!

Nagato is even in a wheelchair now!

For a ninja, problems with their legs and arms would prevent them from handling combat or missions, and they would never be able to carry out any missions for the rest of their lives.

Jiraiya suddenly understood why Nagato was manipulating Yahiko's corpse behind the scenes and turning it into Pain, because this disciple couldn't even move freely.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Nagato tried to dodge his hand.

"it's useless."

Konan shook her head, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and explained from the side, "Back then, Nagato was injured in both legs by Hanzo of the Salamander's explosive tags while trying to save me..."

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I always thought you were dead. I never imagined that our reunion would be like this..."

"We are lucky to have survived."

Nagato seemed unconcerned about his leg injury, only glancing at the tombstone before him: "To save us, Yahiko died. I can only use Yahiko's body to create Pain, so that he can continue to serve as the leader of Akatsuki, just as he did in life..."

"So, what is the Akatsuki's goal?"

Jiraiya asked his disciple in a deep voice.

Nagato didn't hide anything and took the initiative to say, "Let's change this world full of war, so that this world can be peaceful forever and there will never be war again."

As Nagato spoke, he slowly extended his hand and stroked Yahiko's tombstone: "Just like Yahiko did back then..."

At this moment, Nagato was truly sincere.

Because what he did was indeed Yahiko's dream.

However, their methods were different.

Jiraiya looked at Nagato before him, at the Rinnegan in Nagato's eye sockets, and listened to Nagato's words about changing the ninja world. He remembered the prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.

prophecy…

It's finally starting to appear.

His disciple, Nagato, wanted to change the ninja world.

It's just unknown whether this transformation will bring destruction or rebirth.

As the teacher of the prophesied child, his task is to guide his disciple and lead the ninja world toward rebirth rather than destruction.

Just as Jiraiya was about to ask Nagato about his plans and why he wanted to recruit those dangerous rogue ninja, a figure teleported in!

Akihara Kagura's figure appeared beside them instantly, looking down at Nagato as if it were the first time she had seen him.

"First time meeting you."

Akihara Kagura looked at Nagato with a serious expression: "If Akatsuki's goal is to bring lasting peace to the ninja world, please invite me to join..."

"..."

Nagato was momentarily at a loss.

Even Xiao Nan didn't understand what to do next.

This junior disciple claimed to have taken care of Jiraiya-sensei…

Did he join the Akatsuki organization right in front of Jiraiya?

"Welcome...to the team?"

Nagato felt he should have said an invitation.

"You better behave yourself!"

Jiraiya held Akihara Kagura down with one hand while glancing at Nagato: "This brat is talking nonsense, ignore him!"

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Kagura Akihara pulled away from Jiraiya's arm and explained, "The only way for the Akatsuki to achieve eternal peace in the ninja world is to kill everyone in the ninja world, eliminate all living beings, and turn this world into a wasteland. I actually quite enjoy killing people..."

"You better behave yourself!"

Jiraiya patted Akihara Kagura on the head and roared angrily, "You brat, stop having such extreme ideas! This world is still a beautiful place!"

"That's...too extreme..."

Nagato and Konan were both terrified by Akihara Kagura's idea.

Compared to Akihara Kagura's idea of ​​annihilating all living beings, the Akatsuki organization's desire to collect tailed beasts to create weapons of war was an extremely mild approach.

"This is the only way."

Akihara Kagura reiterated her stance, her gaze shifting to Nagato with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Is this your method too?"

"no…"

Nagato didn't know how to answer, and he wasn't good at lying, so he could only state his attitude: "Your method... is really a bit too extreme..."

"fine…"

Jiraiya felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, his other disciple, Nagato, was not as extreme.

As long as it wasn't a world-destroying idea like Akihara Kagura's, Jiraiya felt that any other means to bring peace to the ninja world were open to discussion...

"What should we do then?"

Kagura Akihara looked at Nagato and took the initiative to steer the conversation: "I've discussed this topic with people, such as periodically killing half of the ninja world's population so that the ninja world's resources can always support the remaining people..."

When Akihara Kagura got to this point, she rejected her own idea: "But then I thought about it, and people's greed will never be satisfied. No matter how many people you kill, there will always be people who greedily want more resources..."

After finishing her explanation, Akihara Kagura concluded, "So I think this method won't work either. Regularly killing half of the ninja world is too mild..."

"This method... isn't it rather harsh?"

Nagato really felt like he was seeing Akihara Kagura for the first time.

They had never even considered this method before, and just hearing Akihara Kagura mention it made their scalps tingle.

"It's also very extreme."

Xiao Nan nodded solemnly, even offering her judgment: "If everyone's life and death are decided like drawing lots, those who survive will only despair, because they will have to survive in the next draw that determines their fate. The probability of that is very, very low. Everyone will think that they will die sooner or later, and the world will eventually perish..."

"..."

Jiraiya was furious with Akihara Kagura.

Jiraiya originally thought that Nagato and Konan would have some serious problems, but he found that the problems of his disciple who had always been by his side seemed to be even more serious!

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Konan vaguely understood Akihara Kagura's thoughts and prepared to take her leave: "Nagato and I have important matters to attend to. Orochimaru has defected from Akatsuki..."

Orochimaru!

Jiraiya found another focus for himself.

"Yes."

Konan nodded and continued, "His teammate Sasori of the Red Sand reported that Orochimaru intends to assassinate the Fourth Kazekage in Sunagakure. To avoid creating more enemies for Akatsuki, Nagato and I must stop Orochimaru..."

Second update!

A little late!

There'll be another chapter tonight! I'm going to eat!
