Hearing Nangong Zhe's threatening words, Danzō didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed in a mocking and pitiful way.
"I really didn't expect that just a kid who is still wet behind the ears and a person who is already half dead could bring you such a sense of security. You are still as naive as before. Since you are so confident that they will bring you shelter, then let's wait and see how much help they can provide you. "
At the beginning, Danzō thought that Nangong Zhe was actually a somewhat naive kid. Just by relying on his own strength, he felt that he could live a good life in Wood leaf. Now, with just a promise from the Hokage Clan, he could be so confident, which really made Danzō feel a little funny.
But … Was Nangong Zhe really as naive as Danzō thought?
How could Nangong Zhe not have the slightest progress over the years? When Nangong Zhe knew that he had to find the Blood-Cloak Pavilion to increase his strength, Nangong Zhe knew that strength was just a part of his life. Countless tricks, countless conspiracies, all of them were things that he had to guard against.
Here, Nangong Zhe was just following Danzō's impression of him, showing weakness to the enemy.
If Nangong Zhe really put everything he had on the Hokage Clan, then he was really naive to a certain extent.
There was no such thing as trust when it came to using each other. As long as one side had a better choice, the cooperation would naturally disappear. Nangong Zhe didn't believe anything about Wood leaf!
Danzō was too lazy to communicate with Nangong Zhe. He directly got up and was ready to leave Nangong Zhe's house. After taking a deep look at Nangong Zhe, Danzō directly turned and left. Naturally, the ninjas from Root also followed Danzō.
…
At this moment, Watergate has been standing at the gate of Wood leaf for a long time. The flame on his Haori was blown by the wind from time to time, and the words "Fourth Hokage" on the back seemed to be shining under the sun.
Watergate has been standing here since the morning. From time to time, he would greet some ninjas coming and going, but he didn't leave, it seemed like he was waiting for someone important.
Finally, the sun has rotated in the sky, and a familiar figure finally appeared in front of Watergate's eyes. The slightly gray hair and painted face entered Watergate's eyes for a moment, for some reason, Watergate's eyes were covered with mist.
The person who came was his master, one of Wood leaf's Sannin, Jiraiya.
"Oh? Isn't this Watergate? You're still so energetic! "
From a distance, Jiraiya waved his hand, apparently he saw Watergate and greeted him.
Watergate wasn't as casual as Jiraiya, he bowed to Jiraiya with both hands. Watergate said very seriously.
"Welcome back, Master …"
"You … Do you still need to be so formal with me? I hate trouble the most. You're really making me a little unhappy. "
Jiraiya just came back, and seeing Watergate's appearance, he seemed to feel a little troublesome. But from the slightly red eyes, it was obvious that Jiraiya was still very happy to see his disciple, and he was very excited. Perhaps this is a way for Jiraiya to hide his inner thoughts?
"Speaking of which, why are you and the old man so anxious to let me come back? The letter to me was also very vague, it just said that there was an important discovery, and I came back from far away! "
Indeed, looking at Jiraiya's appearance, he did look a little travel-worn. His grey hair was covered in a thin layer of dust, and his face, which was painted red, showed signs of tiredness that could not be ignored.
"It's a big deal, let's go meet the Three Generations together and talk about these things."
Speaking of business, Watergate's face became more serious.
"Has the old man been waiting for me? Although I'm not in Wood leaf, I still know a little about the recent news about the old man. It seems that during this time, the old man can only stay in his own home and wait for the limelight to pass. "
Yes, the news about the Three Generations taking the blame for Watergate has spread far and wide. Although many people in the ninja world don't know the inside story, they really think that Watergate left Wood leaf because of some mission, but how can Jiraiya not know? This notice looked like an ordinary one, but it wasn't enough to throw Sandaime's old face to the ground and stomp on it. Sandaime even used his foot to crush it.
"This is all … my fault."
It's okay if Jiraiya didn't mention it, but when Jiraiya said such a thing, Watergate felt very uncomfortable. After all, this big blame was created by him, and he even had to watch the Three Generations take the blame without doing anything.
Jiraiya also saw the sadness in his disciple's heart, he took a few steps forward and put his hand on Watergate's shoulder and said:
"Why are you like this? In my impression, my disciple named Watergate is a person who can still face any setbacks with a smile! Although this matter has indeed damaged the old man's reputation, it is also something that we, the elders, should do. For the future of the ninja world, not to mention a blame, even if you give up your life, what's the pity? Look at it! Since you feel guilty now, naturally, you have to be more courageous and make a real contribution to let everyone know that whether it's me or the old man's sacrifice, it's not only for our disciples, but also for the future of Wood leaf! "
Jiraiya, who was still laughing and joking, said to Minato with a serious tone. At the age of Jiraiya and the Three Generations, some of their own things have become very light. What's the point of the world slandering me? As long as what I do can make me feel worthy, then everything else is not worth mentioning.
Watergate looked up at Jiraiya. In fact, many people have said similar words to him in the past few days, but when such words came from his master's mouth, Watergate could understand his own heart.
His eyes, which originally looked sad, glowed with a glimmer of brilliance at this moment. Holding his master's hand, Watergate and Jiraiya walked into Wood leaf together. Just like when he was young, Jiraiya took his hand and walked with him in Wood leaf.
