Naruto's Office.
"This is your task today."
At the desk, Watergate handed a task list to Kakashi.
Kakashi took it, and behind him, Naruto looked a little unhappy.
"Dad, it's been a month, why is it always this kind of chores?"
Since the last re-division, Naruto, Shizuka, and Sasai formed a new Seventh Squad.
The tasks assigned to them by the village were all simple tasks that Naruto and the others did when they just graduated.
Watergate smiled and said: "This is also something that can't be helped. Although the reconstruction work of the village has been basically completed, many people need our help."
With Watergate's response, Naruto's expression eased a little.
Afterward, Kakashi left with Naruto and the others.
"It's not the way to go on like this, Naruto can't control his temper."
Watergate looked sideways, Kakashi and the others just left, and Jiraiya was sitting on the windowsill.
"Yes." Watergate didn't deny, and then said with a slightly gloomy face: "It's just that last time, Nagato seems to have discovered Naruto's secret."
"Their plan must be related to the Bijuu."
When mentioning Nagato, Jiraiya still looked regretful.
After all, whether it's Watergate or Nagato, they are his most cherished disciples.
But things are unpredictable, and things have developed to the current situation.
Seeing this, Watergate changed the thread of discussion and said: "So I intend to ask sensei to train Naruto from today, so that he can become stronger as soon as possible."
"What you just said is that he can't stay in the village for a lifetime." Watergate's eyes turned and said seriously.
Jiraiya couldn't help but chuckle, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Didn't you teach Naruto very well? There's no need for me to intervene. "
In terms of strength, although Jiraiya is also a first-class ninja, he can't be compared with the current Watergate.
"Sensei, don't make fun of me."
Watergate smiled bitterly, in terms of teaching disciples, he is still far behind Jiraiya sensei.
His fighting style is not suitable for Naruto, what's more, Watergate doesn't have much free time.
After roughly understanding the plan of Nagato and the others, he naturally can't sit still.
"Don't worry, leave that kid to me."
Jiraiya stretched stretched his palm and patted Watergate's shoulder.
After so many years, the burden that had been on his shoulders was really too heavy.
"Thank you."
Watergate smiled. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Then the door was opened, and two ninjas wearing cat masks and Anbu uniforms came in.
Walking in front of Watergate, the two took off the masks on their faces. It was Waterstop and Itachi.
"How is it?" Watergate quickly asked.
Waterstop replied: "The leader of the Rain Village is no longer Hanzo, but a guy named Pain."
"Pain?" Watergate and Jiraiya looked at each other, they have never heard of this person before.
"This Pain, in the Rain Village, claimed to be a God, and Hanzo the Salamander has been punished by him." Itachi added.
"Sure enough, it's Nagato …"
The situation was as Watergate expected, with Nagato's character, he won't let go of Hanzo who killed Yahiko.
"But when we arrived at the tower in the center of the Rain Village, there was no one there, only a few iron coffins."
"These coffins were the same as the coffins found by the reconnaissance team." Itachi said.
"The enemy has already evacuated, so we didn't stay too long in the Rain Village."
"I know, you did a good job."
Watergate nodded, then he looked at Itachi and said: "Don't stay in the Anbu unit today."
"Tomorrow, I will let Sasuke follow the reconnaissance team out of the village to perform a mission."
Not long ago, Watergate received a piece of information.
The Sandai Tsuchikage of Iwagakure was secretly in contact with a mysterious mercenary organization.
From the information he received, those mercenary groups were all wearing black robes embroidered with fiery cloud patterns.
The people who manipulated these mercenary organizations behind the scenes were naturally Nagato's group.
This was what Watergate was most worried about, because on the surface, Wood Leaf's power was too strong.
Iwagakure naturally didn't have the courage to openly provoke Wood Leaf, but it was inevitable that they would use some other forces to interfere with Wood Leaf's actions.
Perhaps, Iwagakure would secretly help Nagato and the others to escape Wood Leaf's inspection.
After all, in today's shinobi world, this is the only force that can keep Konoha in check.
In this regard, as long as Wood Leaf's people didn't have concrete evidence, they couldn't blame Iwagakure.
On the contrary, this kind of attitude of accountability would cause the other Ninja Empires to be wary.
This was the purpose of Nagato and the others' actions. As long as the five major Ninja Empires didn't unite, Wood Leaf would always be on the passive side.
Otherwise, with Watergate's current strength, they wouldn't have been able to escape so easily that day.
The village itself was a balance for Naruto and Watergate.
"Yes."
Itachi responded to Watergate, but there was still a little hesitation in his eyes.
But in the next moment, the tragedy of a few months ago appeared in his mind, and his eyes became firm again.
…
A few days later, at the former location of Wood Leaf's mountain.
Due to the large-scale destruction caused by Nagato's Ninjutsu last time, the original mountain collapsed and changed the terrain.
Wood Leaf's higher-ups took the opportunity to transform part of it into residential houses and a ninja training ground.
"Horny Sage, why did you bring me here?"
It was the first time Naruto came to this newly built training ground, and he looked around.
"How many times have I told you, you should call me Jiraiya Sensei, or call me Toad Sage!"
Jiraiya angrily gave Naruto a knock on his head.
"Horny Sage." Naruto held his head and curled his lips, still refusing to change his words.
After the two of them quarreled, Jiraiya returned to normal, looked at Naruto, and said: "Boy, do you remember what Watergate and I said to you before?"
"You are the boy in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy."
"So you can't slack off like this anymore, from today onwards, I'm going to start strict training for you."
Naruto didn't care about the so-called Child of Prophecy, but when Jiraiya said that he was going to train him, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face.
Because he knew in his heart that although Jiraiya's lifestyle can be described as messy, his strength is absolutely unquestionable.
His father, who is respected by the world as the God of Ninja, is his disciple.
