Jiraiya decided to give up the next "vacation" and take another leave to stay in Land of Rain for a while to take care of these orphans.
But...
"Wait a minute, Nagato, I have something to ask you." Akaseki interrupted at this time.
"Akaseki..." Jiraiya reminded Akaseki.
Jiraiya knows that Akaseki probably wants to ask about what happened that day.
However, from Jiraiya's point of view, what happened that day was already obvious - "Rinnegan Ninja" took action!
Akaseki was also nearby afterwards and met the "Rinnegan ninja". As the commander of the army at the time, Jiraiya also knew some internal secrets, such as... Akaseki also saw "Wood Release ninja".
In this way, Jiraiya didn't think there was anything to confirm with a child, especially since his parents were killed that day.
Even if there is some detailed information, Jiraiya believes that he will be able to learn from Nagato later in life, and it will not directly bring back painful memories for him at this time.
But Akaseki obviously doesn't think so!
After all, what Jiraiya doesn't know is that the "Rinnegan ninja" is Madara Uchiha...
Therefore, Akaseki was very cautious about this, not just to guard against a "powerful and mysterious enemy". Tsunade, who also knew about this matter, stopped Jiraiya and asked Akaseki to ask.
"Nagato, did you see anyone else that day?" Akaseki looked at Nagato carefully.
"No... only... those two Konoha Ninja." Nagato said, lowering his head.
When Akaseki heard this, he frowned, squatted in front of Nagato, looked straight at him and asked, "Did you see those two Konoha Ninja? Then... what happened after that?"
If Nagato didn't see anything - that is, he was actually outside the village when his parents were killed, then things would sound a bit normal.
But we have already seen two Konoha and Chunin. It is impossible not to know how they died!
Unless they feel danger, let Nagato leave first?
It's impossible...
Madara Uchiha is about to take action, how can they feel? It only takes a second.
Moreover, having just killed someone's parents by mistake and asking them to leave for a safe place is obviously not that convincing.
"I..." Nagato seemed to remember what happened a year ago again, and said excitedly, "I don't know!"
"I fainted after my father was killed! When I woke up, I was outside the village! Your ninja, my father and mother are gone!" Nagato raised his head excitedly, and at the same time, a small..."blowing" force blew away Nagato's bangs that were hanging down and blocking his eyes. Akaseki saw...
A pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that look stubborn and somewhat hostile.
Akaseki:...
"Akaseki!" Jiraiya was a little more severe.
"Okay, I understand." Akaseki patted his shoulder and continued, "Regarding the death of your parents, I would like to say "sorry" to you on behalf of Shinobi World, but... In addition to the factor of manslaughter, there was also a mysterious and powerful ninja around at the time who was doing something wrong to Konoha Ninja. I suspect that they also had the possibility of being hit by Genjutsu.
"If you see a guy with circles in his eyes later, be careful and notify me or Teacher Jiraiya, or... other Konoha Ninja as soon as you are safe."
Konan:...
Akaseki noticed at this time that Nagato's expression did not change at this time, but Konan's expression on the side moved slightly, but it immediately calmed down, especially after seeing Akaseki looking at her, he immediately looked away.
Yahiko on the side looked at Akaseki even more warily.
Akaseki knows that if they continue to ask, their resistance will be very strong, and...
For children of this age, once their emotions fluctuate too much, their memory will become blurred, which may be counterproductive. So Akaseki just paid attention to this matter secretly first...
"Please help me, old man, don't arrange tasks for me recently... If you must arrange it, it's best if you two can complete it, please!" Jiraiya pretended to be relaxed and said to Tsunade and Orochimaru.
"Isn't this just a favor? The old man will definitely get furious..." Tsunade said with a headache.
"Then... let Orochimaru say it?" Jiraiya changed his mind.
Anyway, Orochimaru makes the old man angry every time he sees him recently...
Since you are going to be angry anyway, why not live together!
"I'll go ahead and say it... Then your mission commission will also belong to me!" Tsunade emphasized.
And Akaseki thought of something at this time and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, can you take care of the children?"
"Eh?" Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this. "This..."
Akaseki said, winking at Tsunade who was aside - he took care of the children with sister Tsunade, and then fell in love for a long time, it sounded so pleasant to the ears... Yuanshen, start it!
It's a pity that Jiraiya didn't understand Akaseki's intention at all. Then he looked at Orochimaru and said, "Can you do it?" Orochimaru, Akaseki:...
"We can take care of ourselves! As long as... as long as you are willing to teach us ninjutsu." Yahiko said immediately.
Tsunade, on the other hand, looked indifferent during the whole process.
"I... just stay for a while." Nonō interrupted at this time.
Akaseki:...
Can any of you play your cards according to the routine? Teacher Jiraiya, what kind of emotional intelligence do you have?
"What's the matter with you? I've already told you about this, Root has no right to interfere!" Akaseki said with a dark face.
"I just want to help..." Nonō felt a little aggrieved.
Jiraiya seemed to see something and said quickly, "Okay, okay, with Nonō's help, I can breathe a sigh of relief." At the same time, he glanced at Akaseki speechlessly - What kind of emotional intelligence do you have? Can't you learn from Minato?
Akaseki then thought about it. With Teacher Jiraiya watching, nothing would happen, and... now that Nonō is removed, it would be easier for Akaseki and Orochimaru to move.
Only then did he agree.
"Then...Teacher Jiraiya, let's go back to the nearby Konoha stronghold first. Don't forget to leave a password at Lodging's place. I will come to see them when I have time." Akaseki said specifically. Yahiko, Nagato, Konan:...
I don't really want this person to come and see me!
Akaseki always feels like something is weird, especially about Nagato...
It's just that he fainted, why would he still appear outside the village?
Two Konoha Chunin did it?
There seems to be no reason...
If the danger had been discovered, how could they have the opportunity to slowly transfer Nagato away and then go back to die themselves?
Made by Madara Uchiha?
How could that Madara Uchiha be so kind!
Akaseki always feels that there is some secret here that he doesn't know about... It's probably Madara Uchiha's conspiracy!
It's just that Akaseki didn't find anything strange about Nagato. However, when he mentioned the characteristics of "Rinnegan" just now, the little girl with blue hair seemed to have Some mood swings... Could it be that she had seen Madara Uchiha? Akaseki couldn't think of a reason for the moment, and it wasn't a good time to ask just now, so she had to stop thinking.
Anyway, Akaseki will stay in Land of Rain for a long time, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get in touch with those three children.
Jiraiya and Nonō left the team, and Akaseki, Orochimaru, and Tsunade returned to the nearby stronghold of Konoha.
It's said to be a stronghold, but in fact there are only a few Chunin here, so it's not a place that needs to be defended.
But once you get here, you can rest assured.
"I can finally take a bath in peace, Land of Rain's summer is really hateful..." Tsunade has had enough of Land of Rain being always wet.
While Tsunade went to take a bath, Akaseki and Orochimaru came outside the stronghold to talk secretly.
"Kekkei Genkai? Swamp Release?" Orochimaru said while rubbing the center of his eyebrows.
"Hmm... It's a pity that it feels a little bit different from Wood Release. Hey... I obviously already emphasized "transformation" when combining the properties of Water Style and Earth Style." Akaseki said regretfully.
Orochimaru:... Why can you say it so simply?
Is this possible if you want to combine it?
I also have the talent to change all seven chakras, and I have studied each attribute chakra for so long, why can't I "combine" it? And in terms of knowledge...Orochimaru I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Akaseki didn't know what Orochimaru was thinking. He thought he was also troubled by why he didn't awaken to the "Wood Release" he wanted more.
After all...
Regarding the nature of Wood Release, Akaseki mainly listened to Orochimaru's opinions - that is, "plundering the power of nature" and "converting external forces into one's own power"... From these aspects, the result of the combination is not Wood Release at all!
Orochimaru noticed at this moment that Akaseki's "Is there something wrong with your teaching" look in his eyes, and he couldn't stand it anymore...
"Akaseki... Jun, let me tell you that the properties of Wood Release include "predation" and "transformation" to emphasize... I'm worried that you will only see the properties of Wood Release which represent "nourishing and growing hair" and ignore these essences, but... it doesn't mean that the most important thing about Wood Release is not "nourishing and growing hair"!"
[Note: Here it says "hair growth (sound)", not that Wood Release can cure hair loss, and nothing can cure hair loss.]
Orochimaru is also speechless - you only care about "plundering" and "transformation", isn't it Wood Release who is awakened?
What about the most important vitality?
You see, the chakra property combination of your underworld is completely opposite to that of Wood Release! In this regard, "Swamp Release" is indeed more in line with "plunder" and "transformation". Its effect is exactly the opposite of Wood Release, which revolves around accelerating decay, that is, converting living organisms into biogas, life into death gas, and "engulfing" related properties...
When Akaseki heard this, he showed a surprised expression - it seems... Earth Style's "Zilong (vitality)" should not be removed. Just replacing it with Water Style's "Vientiane (fluid change)" can improve the conversion efficiency!
Seeing Akaseki's expression as if he was just waking up from a dream, Orochimaru felt even more uncomfortable.
You don't even understand this...
How did you awaken Kekkei Genkai?
You might as well tell me, Uchiha Clan, someone in my ancestors awakened Swamp Release, you just inherited the blood to make me feel better...
Dongdong: A little bit.
