Hokage, I, Nakoki, will never live in memories

Nagato followed behind Yahiko and Konan, touched the scroll hidden in his chest, and walked slowly towards the Land of Rain.

Thinking of what Naruki-sensei had said to him before leaving, Nagato couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Is it really like what the teacher said, someone will attack us halfway?"

"It's almost time to leave the Land of Fire. It just so happens that the Sanjiao Fish is not there at this time. If someone is lying in ambush, they should come out, right?"

Nagato thought in his heart, while secretly looking at the surrounding environment with the corner of his eye.Except for the sounds made by the three of them walking, the surrounding area was quiet.

"It's so quiet! No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone is ambushing!"

"Could it be that the teacher is thinking too much? He just said that to make us more vigilant on the road?"

Nagato frowned, and felt that the teacher might be worrying too much.

And no one knew that his eyes were the legendary eyes of reincarnation. How could someone want to snatch them after seeing him use them a few times? Isn't it a bit of a big deal?

While thinking about it, Nagato's heart suddenly trembled.

"wrong!"

"It's so quiet!"

"This is the forest on the border of the Land of Fire, how come there are no insects or birds?"

"Someone must be ambushing nearby!"

Thinking of this, Nagato immediately took two quick steps, came between Yahiko and Konan, and said in a low voice:

"Yahiko, Xiaonan!"

"It's too quiet here, there may be an ambush ahead, be careful."

When Yahiko and Konan heard Nagato's reminder, they immediately reacted.The body tensed subconsciously, looking at the surrounding forest vigilantly.

Not far ahead, a group of ninjas wearing black clothes and masks were quietly ambushing in the forest by the roadside.

Seeing that the Nagato three suddenly looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, the leading ninja showed a sneer in his one-eyed eyes.He made a series of gestures to several companions around him, sending out a signal to attack.

"These brats are a bit vigilant, did they actually find out that they were in an ambush?"

"Hmph! But, it's too late!"

"Go!"

Following the one-eyed man's order, dozens of black shadows sprang out from the forest on both sides of the road, surrounding the three of Nagato.

The four figures jumped to the periphery of Nagato and the three first, and stood in four directions.The handprints that have been practiced countless times are quickly formed, and both hands are pressed to the ground.

"Ninja method - four purple flame array!"

Four purple-red barriers rose from the ground, forming a huge purple enchantment, enclosing the Nagato trio and a group of ninjas in black.

Nagato was startled by the sudden appearance of the barrier, he protected Yahiko and Konan behind his back, reached out to take out a few shurikens from the ninja bag, and tentatively shot at the barrier.

"Ding!"

"Stab!"

The shuriken spun and hit the purple light curtain, making a crisp metal collision sound, and was then completely dissolved by the light curtain.

Nagato's face changed, and he immediately understood that this barrier should not be cracked from the inside, his heart sank, and he stared closely at a group of ninjas in black who surrounded him.

"Who are you? Why are you here to ambush us?"

"Master Hanzo is nearby. You must think clearly about what will happen if you make a move against us and anger the ninja demigod!"

The one-eyed men came out more and more, staring greedily at Nagato's reincarnation eyes, and let out a cold laugh.

"Humph!"

"Young people don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, but they are ostentatiously carrying a treasure. They deserve to end up like this!"

"As for the Sansho Fish Hanzo you mentioned..."

The one-eyed man sneered and said:

"Don't think he'll find out what's going on here!"

"He is now working with the shadow clone of the old man, dreaming of jointly dominating the ninja world, right?"

Nagato stared at the one-eyed man in front of him while expressing his teacher's foresight.

"I don't understand what you mean, what heavy treasure?"

"What do you want from us?"

The man looked greedily into Nagato's eyes, as if looking at a rare treasure.

"your eyes!"

"Give them to me, and I can let your two companions live."

"Otherwise... die!"

Xiao Nan's face changed, and he looked at Nagato nervously.

Yahiko grabbed Nagato's arm and looked at the man angrily.

"Don't think about it!"

"These eyes are Nagato's most precious treasure, and they cannot be given to anyone!"

"If you want to get these eyes, you have to step over my corpse!"

Nagato's heart warmed up, and he patted Yahiko's hand, signaling him not to be so nervous.

"Yahiko, it's okay, there won't be any problems!"

"Have you forgotten what the teacher gave me? The teacher said that you can open it at critical moments. Now..."

Nagato turned his head and glanced at the surrounding ninjas, with trust in his teacher on his face, he reached out from his arms and took out the scroll that Natoki had given him before.

"I think if you want my eyes, you can ask my teacher if he agrees first!"

There was a look of disdain in the man's eyes, he looked at the scroll Nagato was holding in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

"your teacher?"

"Hmph! Is that idiot Jiraiya?"

Nagato unfolded the scroll, stretched out his hand to press it, and poured his own chakra into it.

The summoning circle depicted on the scroll began to emit bursts of light slowly. Nagato raised his head to look at the man, with a smile on his face shrouded in light, and slowly said:

"You are the Danzo Shimura that the teacher told me about, right?"

"You're wrong about one thing, Mr. Jiraiya did teach us."

"In my opinion, Jiraiya-sensei is not an idiot!"

"He is one of the few noble ninjas among Konoha ninjas. He is much better than you, a guy who only knows how to hide in the dark and engage in conspiracy!"

"and......"

"Who told you that we only have one teacher, Mr. Jiraiya?"

While Nagato was talking, he got up and took two steps back, allowing the magic circle on the glowing scroll to activate.

The light from the scroll became more and more dazzling. Danzo, whose identity was revealed by Nagato, slightly narrowed his one eye and looked at the scroll that was different from the ordinary one.

"what?"

"boom!"

The light seemed to reach its peak, and suddenly there was a bang and a puff of white smoke rose from the scroll. Two tall figures emerged from the smoke.

Nagato saluted the two figures respectfully, and called softly:

"teacher!"

Xiaonan and Yahiko looked at the two teachers who had just parted with each other with surprise on their faces, and rushed over immediately.

"Teacher, I didn't expect that the scroll you prepared actually summoned you, it really scared me to death!"

One of the young men stepped out of the smoke, touched the heads of Konan and Yahiko, and nodded to Nagato.

"Well! Don't be afraid, the teacher is here!"

Jiraiya looked at Danzo with complicated eyes.

"Danzo-sama, I didn't expect that you and Sarutobi-sensei would actually do something to my disciples!"

"I am disappointed!"

Nakoki let go of Konan and Yahiko, turned around and walked to Jiraiya's side to look at Danzo, with a smile on his face.

"Danzo-sama, finally let me find a chance!"

"You know what? I've been waiting for this day for four years!"
