Chapter 36 Jiraiya's Regret
Yueguang Lan left.
If he was asked to find Yahiko and the other two before Jiraiya, he would be sure to persuade the three to go to Konoha, but if Jiraiya was in the case, his chance of success would be greatly reduced.
After all, even Nagato, who was the most vigilant of him among the three, is now just a teenager with an unripe mind. Otherwise, they would not have had such a big reaction to what Yue Guangran said before, and even Yahiko’s original thoughts were shaken.
But as an "old fried dough stick" who has long been adult, has experienced many ups and downs, and has the test of life and death, Jiraiya's heart has long become extremely firm, and it cannot be changed by a few tricks.
Especially Jiraiya is a hardcore believer in the theory of fate. He believes in the prophecy of the old toad, and naturally he is even more unlikely to change his mind and bring Nagato back to Konoha.
He is not the kind of person who knows that he cannot do it, so he naturally doesn't want to be beaten by Jiraiya and let go.
...
"call!"
As the Shadow clone disbanded, Jiraiya, who had obtained all the memories from the Shadow clone, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he had already made up his mind, he was still a scene he didn't want to see when he was fighting with the ninjas in the same village.
‘Fortunately, this Konoha Xiaobaiya is not as important as his teacher’s task.’
Although Baiya finally gave up the mission and was forced to commit suicide by rumors, before that, when he did not involve his companion's safety, he never gave up the mission, even though he knew that the mission was a life-threatening death.
"Teacher, is it Konoha's ninja?"
Seeing Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, a little bit of gratitude appeared on her face, Yahiko guessed.
"Um."
Jiraiya nodded.
"But don't worry, he has left."
"Leave?"
"Is it your teacher..."
When Yahiko and Konan were stunned when they heard this, they immediately looked at Jiraiya with confusion and guilt.
"You misunderstood. He left by himself, not after being injured by me."
Looking at the two of them's expressions, Jiraiya couldn't guess what they were thinking, so he waved his hand and signaled that they had misunderstood.
"That Konoha Ninja is not Moonlight Arashi, right?"
Nagato's heart moved, and a figure flashed out in his mind that made him feel a little angry.
"I forgot, you've met him before."
Jiraiya nodded, and at the same time, he felt that he could understand why Yue Guanglan left without doing anything.
In his opinion, it must be that when Yue Guangran met the three people before, he formed a considerable friendship with them. It was just because of the identity of Anbu, that he had to report to the third generation. Now the same is true.
So when I saw that I could withstand the anger of three generations of goals, I turned around and left with peace of mind.
‘Well, it is this kind of bond that makes the world better and better!’
He couldn't help but feel himself moved.
But unfortunately, the reality is exactly the opposite of what he thought.
"Why is it him again?"
Xiaonan, who slaughtered more than 20 Rain Ninjas like chopping melons and vegetables that day, had a little bit of a shadow in his heart, nodded when he saw Jirai and his brows immediately frowned.
"Why did he leave so easily this time?"
As for Nagato, he was a little confused about why Yu Yueguanglan left so easily.
Although he was a little resentful to Yue Guanglan, deep down he admitted that the other party was a peer who was far smarter than him and Yahiko and had a more thorough look at the world.
So in his opinion, Yueguang Lan should have had a fierce debate with Jiraiya before leaving. No matter how he was, he could not have shown it like Jiraiya. He just asked a few questions and turned around and left.
"Have he really left? I'm still thinking about telling him some of my recent thoughts."
Only Yahiko was quite disappointed after hearing Yueguangran leave.
After his previous ideal was refuted by Yueguanglan, he felt unwilling to accept it. These days he came up with some new ideas and was planning to find an opportunity to argue with Yueguanglan again.
"What? Are you not friends with him?"
Jiraiya looked at the different reactions of the three disciples, especially Konan's dissatisfaction mixed with fear, and the resentment on Nagato's face was filled with doubts.
"Hmph, how could we and him be friends?"
Nagato snorted lightly, turned his head away, looking like he didn't want to mention Moonlight Ram any more.
Xiaonan lowered his head, and looked like he didn't want to talk about Moonlight Lan.
Fortunately, there is another Yahiko who answers questions for Jiraiya.
...
"I didn't expect that he could see so thoroughly?"
After listening to Yahiko's previous scenes when they met Moonlight and what Moonlight said, Jiraiya was shocked.
After all, it is very rare for a child over ten years old to have the ideal of reaching peace through communication like Yahiko, but Moonlight Lan actually took it a step further, which is naturally far beyond his expectations.
However, in his opinion, it seemed that he was too young. Although Moonlight Arashi went further than Yahiko, he was more pessimistic than Yahiko. He actually believed that permanent peace could never be achieved, but could only rely on stronger force to achieve temporary peace.
‘It’s a pity that I didn’t know about this until today. Otherwise, when I was in Konoha, I should have had a good chat with that child so that he believed that as long as he found the son of prophecy, he could bring change and long-term stability to the world.’
Thinking that after today, Jiraiya was suddenly quite regretful.
But what he didn't know was that if Yue Guanglan knew what he was thinking now, she would probably sneer at it.
After all, compared to Jiraiya, Moonlight Lan had long seen the war between humans from the use of stones, woods and aircraft missiles in his previous life. Today's ninja world is just an alternative world with stronger personal strength.
As long as the nature of human species has not changed, war will never be eliminated.
Jiraiya's so-called idea that a son of prophecy can achieve long-term peace in the world is just a joke after all, the dream of an old toad.
Take a step back, even if this dream world created by mankind really ends up reaching peace with the strong intervention of external forces (the author), is that real peace?
When there is no conflict, there will be no stories. Without stories, the world will come to an end.
By then, the so-called peace will be permanent and will not have any waves of silence.
Compared to the endless silence that does not even exist in time, Moonlight Lan would rather see the war.
