A convenience store opened in Naruto

Chapter 267 The unimportant truth

"Hmm~"

Nagato made a lazy sound, and after not having a good night's sleep for a long time, he stretched unconsciously and slowly opened his eyes.

"Xiao Nan!"

The light blue color has a hint of purple, her hair is fluttering in the wind, there is a paper flower pinned to her ear, and the smile on the corner of her mouth is always so gentle.

Nagato, who thought he was still awake, smiled.

"It's so nice to dream about you!"

Xiaonan is one of the few soft things in his heart. After so many years of companionship, the relationship between them has long transcended the shackles of companionship. They are not like family members, but they are closer than family members.

At least there are not many relatives who are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, and if anyone wants to hurt Konan, he must first step over Nagato's body!

"Xiao Nan, you know, I had a dream..."

In his dream, he returned to his childhood, to the time when he, Konan, and Yahiko first met.

At that time, the world was full of disappointment for him. He walked in the streets like a lifeless zombie, exuding a decadent atmosphere.

Don’t think about whether you can survive, don’t think about tomorrow, there is only today.

If you are hungry, just be hungry. If you starve to death, you can leave this hopeless world. Anyway, there is nothing to be nostalgic about and no one will care about you.

If you are thirsty, just be thirsty. When you die of thirst, you will be able to go to the legendary pure land. I heard that there is no dispute or hunger there, only happy smiles.

If you are sleepy, just be sleepy. When you fall asleep, you won’t have so many thoughts. It would be best if you could die in your sleep, so that you won’t feel any pain.

why?

Why is there war in the world? Why can't we live a good life? Such a simple wish has become an unattainable luxury for people like him!

Nagato couldn't understand what the adults were thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He lay down next to an unnoticed trash can, curled up, and quietly waited for death to come.

'There's a man starving to death here!'

A soft and sticky voice rang in my ears.

I wanted to open my eyes, but I didn't have the strength.

'Let him drink some water first, his mouth is too dry!'

Trying hard to act mature, it's hard to hide the immaturity of your voice.

Nagato felt a hint of moisture on his dry lips, and driven by his survival instinct, he drank the water that was handed to him in big gulps.

The water mixed with mud tasted a bit fishy, ​​but Nagato felt that it was the sweetest nectar he had ever tasted.

The water gave him a little strength. He opened his eyelids with difficulty and instinctively wanted to cover his eyes.

When he raised his hand, his arm trembled violently.

'Wow, his eyes are so special!'

I knew that my eyes would be considered a bad omen!

Nagato, who was used to being treated as a monster because of his eyes, was driven away and scolded, so he lowered his head, but suddenly raised it again.

Special? He said my eyes are special?

It was the first time that Nagato heard such an evaluation, and a gleam of light appeared in the depths of his eyes.

'Wow! You scared me!'

The boy, who pretended to be mature, fell to the ground.

After realizing what was happening, he didn't look angry at all, but came up to Nagato with a smile and said, "Hey, I'm Yahiko, this is Konan, what's your name?"

"Name?" Nagato was a little stunned. No one had asked him his name for a long time, so long that he had forgotten his name.

After thinking for a while, he said, "My name is Nagato!"

"This is the steamed bun we picked up. Do you want to eat it?" The dirty girl, with a pair of bright big eyes, blinked and handed the steamed bun to Nagato.

Nagato was a little hesitant, but the hunger in his stomach made him almost snatch the steamed bun from his hands and eat it voraciously.

The hard steamed bun crumbs fell from his fingertips. Yahiko picked up the crumbs with some heartache and stuffed them into the girl's mouth without hesitation.

'You should hold it in both hands when eating, so it won't fall!'

Nagato didn't care about these. He hadn't eaten for a long time. If he hadn't eaten for a long time, it would be fine, but the comfort of the food entering his stomach activated his survival instinct. Instinctively, the only thought in his mind was "eating".

Yahiko seemed to be used to it and didn't think there was anything strange about Nagato's dishevel. He just felt sorry for the debris that fell on the ground. He could still pick up the big ones, but he couldn't pick up the small ones.

With his hands under Nagato, Yahiko said softly: "You look like us, do you want to follow us from now on?"

The steamed bun was not big, and even though it was a little hard, it couldn't resist Nagato's desire to eat it.

After eating a few bites, Nagato nodded slightly in response to Yahiko's invitation.

'But I can't do anything!'

He was afraid that Yahiko would drive him away again after finding out.

Being in darkness, he did not yearn for light, but if he had seen the light, he was afraid that he would never be able to adapt to darkness again.

"It's okay, we don't know anything either!" Xiaonan narrowed her eyes, looking so cute, "That's why we have to learn!"

"Yes! Xiaonan is right!" Yahiko pinched his waist and laughed, "We have hands and feet, how can we starve to death?"

……

"Go, give him two more cuts!" Anyone could feel the coldness on Tsunade's body.

Tsunade felt very anxious because she had no place to release her anger!

"Give me the knife, I'll do it myself!" Tsunade shouted loudly, making Jiraiya tremble continuously.

Especially the unfriendly looks from the crowd, including many members of the Akatsuki organization, made Jiraiya dare not resist.

Even without these people, he would not dare to resist Tsunade.

Without Orochimaru's help, Jiraiya, howling and holding his waist, ran to Tsunade on his own.

Jiraiya lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread wide, closed his eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Come on, stab wherever you want!"

He knew what he did was wrong and accepted the punishment willingly.

There are too many injustices in this world, and tragedies happen all the time. If you can't see them, it's fine, at most it's just deceiving yourself.

But when she saw this, especially her own people, Tsunade couldn't help it. Her already hot temper was instantly ignited!

He took the scalpel handed over by Orochimaru and stabbed Jiraiya with it without mercy. The blood dyed Jiraiya's clothes red.

He took it all without saying a word.

"You idiot, with so many examples before you, can't you use your brain?"

Tsunade cursed as she stabbed Jiraiya with the knife.

"Savior, have you found the savior you are looking for?"

"What have you done all these years? The Savior is placed in front of you. Do you recognize him?"

"Look at the disciples you have accepted. Which one do you care about?"

"Since you have accepted him, can you take on the responsibility of a teacher? A big toad has fooled you for decades and he has Alzheimer's disease. Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease too?"

"Isn't it awesome? Why doesn't it just find it on its own? Why is it pretending to be so noble?"

The pain in my body cannot compare to the pain in my heart. When I think of the stupid things I have done, I just want to slap myself twice.

"That's enough, Lady Tsunade!" Grabbing Tsunade's wrist, Minato said dissuadingly, "Sensei is about to die!"

After all, he is his teacher, so Minato still has to plead for Jiraiya.

"The one lying on the ground is your senior brother, the one standing is also your senior brother, and Konan is your senior sister!" Tsunade's face was gloomy, and she said with anger, "One was just resurrected, and the other was alive before, and it's no different from being dead. Konan is a gentle and kind girl, but she hasn't smiled for a long time."

"Number One, Number One, where have you been?"

Number One came hurriedly, and without Tsunade telling him to do so, he took the initiative to open the album, handed it to Minato and said, "This is what Nagato looked like before, this is what Yahiko looked like before, this... Konan is the same as before, and this one, oh, this one is not!"

The photo of Naruto sleeping with his legs spread out flashed by, and Minato didn't even see it clearly.

But the previous photos showed it clearly.

The skinny Minato, the lifeless Yahiko, and the worried-looking Konan left Minato with no excuse to speak up for Jiraiya.

"It's okay, let her stab you!" Jiraiya's mouth was bleeding, but he was smiling happily, "Haha, at least I still have a chance to make up for it!"

Screw the savior, he will only live for himself from now on, for those who care about him and those he cares about!

"Sensei, I was wondering if you've ever helped Naruto?"

Kushina's question caused Jiraiya's laughter to stop abruptly.

"I understand!" Jiraiya nodded, and his silence let Kushina know the answer.

"Lady Tsunade, please lend me your sword!"

"No, he's already in enough pain," Tsunade, who had enjoyed the stab just now, twitched her eyes and hid the scalpel behind her, "Why not just leave it like this!"

She was careful about what she did. If Kushina had done it, Jiraiya would have been unpredictable and might even have to trouble Ye Feng.

Kushina had no intention of giving up. If Tsunade didn't give it to her, she would...

"Here!" Karin handed over her weapon, a large Senbon given to her for free. "This was given to me by a friend. I'll lend it to you!"

"You are...?" The iconic red hair made Kushina's eyes light up.

"My name is Uzumaki Karin!" After introducing herself, Karin pointed at Nagato who was lying in Konan's arms, "Uncle said that Nagato is also from the Uzumaki clan."

"Oh~" Kushina's eyes brightened.

She had been in Konoha for so long, but she had never met any of her clansmen except for one elder, Uzumaki Mito.

She thought she was the last member of the Uzumaki clan, but she didn't expect that today she not only met someone of the same age, but also a junior. Kushina started talking all of a sudden.

"Have you also lived in Konoha since childhood? Judging from your age, you should be about the same age as Naruto, right? What kind of person is that uncle you mentioned..."

"Gudong!"

Jiraiya swallowed his saliva. The large Senbon sword, which was longer than his forearm, was very thin, but if it pierced his body, it could pierce through.

While the two were talking, Jiraiya used his hands and feet to slowly move backwards.

Who would want to die if they can live? Tsunade looked badly stabbed, but in fact, every blow of the sword avoided the vital parts and only caused some superficial injuries. The blood at the corner of his mouth was also held back on purpose, just to make him look more miserable so that Tsunade would soften her heart.

This way, when Tsunade was treating him, he could follow the flow...

The idea was good, but as time went by, Zilai found that he could not retreat anymore.

A shadow also appeared above his head!

Standing in Jiraiya's path, Minato had a gentle smile on his face. He looked like a sunny and cheerful boy next door, the kind who didn't seem to have any bad intentions at first glance.

But to Jiraiya, Minato's smile was undoubtedly the smile of a devil, which made him shiver all over.

"Minato, I am your teacher after all. Can you bear to see me like this?" Jiraiya said pitifully, trying to gain sympathy.

If we change the place, maybe we will succeed.

Minato shook his head: "Teacher, just bear with it, it will be over soon!"

Between his teacher and his wife, Minato chose the latter.

"Good boy, just wait for me!" Seeing that gaining sympathy didn't work, Jiraiya resorted to threats, "I know a lot about your dark history, don't force me to tell Kushina!"

"I have no secrets in front of Kushina!" Minato said seriously.

Kushina was very satisfied with Minato's attitude. She grabbed Jiraiya's leg and dragged him back: "Teacher, you are so mean. Even at this time, you are still trying to sow discord between us. Come, let's go far away and don't let the children see the bloody scene!"

"No!" Jiraiya screamed miserably, and his hands left long scratches on the ground.

……

Jiraiya's miserable cry woke Nagato who was immersed in his dream.

He stood up reflexively and protected Xiaonan behind him.

Yahiko was about to say hello when he found that he could not move. He watched helplessly as his body, under Nagato's control, took a defensive posture.

"Why is Tendou's body so difficult to control?" Nagato frowned.

The silky and smooth feeling of the past has now become jerky, like a machine that has not been started for a long time and its response is a little slow.

Nagato, noticing something was wrong, synchronized his perspective with Yahiko's, controlled Yahiko's body, and touched his face.

"Ok?"

When he touched it, Nagato's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Where is the black rod that conducts energy?"

In order to better control his puppet, Nagato inserted black sticks all over the puppet's body without affecting the puppet's flexibility, in order to allow the puppet to exert its strength to the greatest extent.

Without the black stick, although he could still forcibly control the puppet, firstly, the control distance became shorter, and secondly, the power he could exert was limited.

"I took down all the black sticks!"

Konan patted Nagato's shoulder, smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Yahiko doesn't need those things anymore!"

"Why?" Nagato was puzzled, "Konan, Yahiko's body..."

Yahiko's body needs his energy to maintain, otherwise it will soon turn into a pile of bones.

But before he could finish his words, a familiar voice rang in his ears, causing him to freeze in place.

"Because I'm resurrected, you idiot!" Yahiko's face flushed. He felt embarrassed to touch his body in front of so many people. "Let me go!"

Although Nagato forcibly controlled his body, it did not prevent him from speaking.

Nagato subconsciously released the control, but saw that the puppet, which could not move without his control, turned around and looked at him with a bad face.

Yahiko's face was full of black lines, and he narrowed his eyes and asked: "Is it fun to control my body?"

"Yahiko!" Nagato hugged Yahiko excitedly, not even hearing what Yahiko said. "You, you really, you really, you really survived?"
