Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 86 Apprenticeship and Worry

"This can be seen from the fact that you were able to let Xiaonan and her companions go. Besides, you helped us yesterday. It is reasonable for us to come over and express our gratitude to you." This is indeed This is Yahiko's true thoughts and the real reason why he dares to stand here and take a gamble at this moment.

Yes, Shirataki killed a large number of rain ninjas without mercy, and his methods were extremely bloody and cruel, leaving a serious psychological shadow on Konan. But in the end, he still let Xiao Nan and others go. In Yahiko's judgment, Shirataki should be considered an arrogant ninja with a unique personality.

At least, compared to the ninjas he had seen before, who were no different from bandits, like machines, and whose only belief was to complete the mission, Shirataki was somewhat more humane.

At least, from the perspective of a normal ninja, if you encounter a child who stands with the enemy during a mission and does not seem to be under any coercion, you will definitely regard the child as an accomplice of the enemy and eliminate them together.

But Shirataki didn't choose to do this. Therefore, in Yahiko's mind, Shirataki is considered a strong man in the true sense. He disdains bullying of the weak, does not like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and does not want to interact with ordinary people.

This can be seen from a detail that happened yesterday. Faced with the fruit stall owner who was pursuing him, Shirataki chose to help Yahiko and Konan solve the problem, but he did not directly use force to make the other party give in. A piece of gold was thrown.

It was such a small piece of gold. Although it was not handed over to the fruit stand owner in a normal way, the occurrence of this detail still allowed Yahiko to get a glimpse of Shirataki's true nature.

Shirataki is definitely different from those guys who destroy humanity. Yahiko firmly believes in this, so he is here. Otherwise, if there is no chance, and Yahiko and Xiaonan are living well, do they have to sacrifice their lives for an illusory dream?

Betting on life also requires a probability. If there is no hope of winning, Yahiko will naturally not make a hasty decision, but as long as there is a slight possibility of success, he will do his best to seize the opportunity.

What was heard on the other side was Yahiko's confident analytical words. What he saw in his eyes was the determined expression shown by the other party when he was talking. It seemed that he was determined that he would not kill these two children.

Shirataki didn't know how to evaluate this self-righteous brat, so after Yahiko finished speaking, he didn't respond for a while, but just stared at him for a while.

After dozens of seconds, seeing Yahiko looking at him without fear, without flinching in his eyes, Shirataki couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You have a pretty good mind, and you can also deduce from some details. Something useful.”

"I think the reason why you took the initiative to come to me this time is not just to express your gratitude, right?" As he said that, Shirataki leaned his upper body back leisurely and leaned against the wall behind, just so casually Sitting on the bedside, he raised his hand towards Yahiko.

"Tell me, what do you want from me? And what can you pay for it?"

After all, he was just a child of five or six years old, and what was in his heart was almost written on his face. Shirataki could understand it all with just a brief observation.

Due to the bonus of impression points from the original work, Shirataki actually does not reject Yahiko, a little guy who can barely be regarded as a talent, so he asked the above questions.

On the other side, realizing that Shirataki had probably seen through his little thoughts, Yahiko didn't show much embarrassment. After all, the purpose of his trip was to seek help from Shirataki.

Nowadays, the topic can progress so quickly, and Shirataki has not shown any ill will toward him and Konan during this period. Yahiko knows that he should have won the bet.

At least, life safety is guaranteed, which means it's time to take the next step.

Slightly relieved, Yahiko straightened his face, looked at Shirataki with piercing eyes, and said word by word, "Master Shirataki, I want to worship you as my teacher." As Yahiko's words fell, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be... Also be respectful.

Shirataki also glanced at Yahiko in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the other party would make such a request.

"Accept Yahiko as your disciple?" After thinking for a while, Shirataki raised his head and responded in a nonchalant manner, "You really dare to think about it, Yahiko, do you know who I am?"

Yahiko shook his head and replied honestly, "Except for a name, I don't know your specific identity, Shirataki-sama."

Bai Taki asked curiously, "That's it, you plan to become my teacher?"

Yahiko thought for a while, but still chose to speak out what was in his heart, "From Xiaonan's description, I think you should be very strong, at least much stronger than Amegakure Murjounin."

Understanding the meaning of Yahiko's words, Shirataki laughed unconsciously and asked, "Since you know that I have killed Amegakure, you should also know that I, Shirataki, have a hostile relationship with Amegakure Village."

"In this case, you, Yahiko, are a commoner of the Land of Rain, and you want to take an enemy like me as your disciple? Let's not say whether I will accept it or not. Let's talk about yourself. Do you think you will be willing to be my apprentice?"

Facing Shirataki's inquiry, Yahiko shook his head disapprovingly and said calmly, "I am neither a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village, nor an adult with a firm stance and mature views. I am just a child, a low-status war orphan. "

"Wars between countries and wars between ninja villages have essentially nothing to do with us war orphans. We can do nothing but passively accept all unfortunate consequences."

"Who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, are not things that we, who are not even hungry, should consider." When he said these words, Yahiko's expression did not change, as if he had no idea about his position and his current situation. Don't care.

But then, he changed the subject and his eyes suddenly brightened, "But!"

With a strong emphasis on his tone, Yahiko looked a little excited, and his tone instantly became sonorous and powerful, "Even I still have dreams, and I also long to change something!"

"The Country of Rain has been ravaged by war for too long. As a child of the Country of Rain, I think I have a reason to bring peace to this country. This is my dream!"

Every word comes from the heart, and every word is filled with sincerity. Yahiko stared at Shirataki without blinking, his cheeks turned red unconsciously, and he shouted the last sentence loudly, "For this, I need strength." , and Lord Shirataki, you can give me strength, so I want to worship you as my teacher, that’s all!”

Yahiko clearly expressed his dream, which also included part of the answer to the questions Shirataki had asked before. Shirataki felt that considering that Yahiko was only about six years old, it should be considered remarkable to be able to say something of this caliber.

It’s just that you want peace in the Country of Rain? The geographical location of the Country of Rain is that as long as there is a war, it will definitely be the first country to be invaded. To put it simply, this country is both a battlefield and a strategic buffer zone deliberately opened up by the major ninja villages.

Unless there is no more Ninja World War, or the leader of Amegakure Village has reached the level of Senju Hashirama and can intimidate the whole world with his personal power, this will not change with personal will.

Judging from the original work, the route Yahiko took to achieve peace was advocated by Jiraiya, using communication and negotiation to achieve the goal. But, this is too naive.

What he was thinking in his heart was reflected on his face, which was just disapproval. Shirataki smiled indifferently, originally intending to say something to hit Yahiko.

But after seeing the unswerving expression on Yahiko's face, he thought for a moment, gave up the plan, and said calmly, "It's a good idea, but why should I accept you as my disciple?"

"I'm not from the Land of Rain. What does the lack of peace in your country have to do with me?" Faced with Shirataki's question, Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and fell into deep thought without realizing it.

Shirataki did not disturb Yahiko, and just looked at him calmly, apparently waiting for the latter's answer.

In fact, he had no intention of accepting a disciple at all. He still had a lot of things to worry about, so he had no time to teach Yahiko, a brat. The reason why he came into contact with the two of them was just to find the whereabouts of Nagato.

Yahiko, who didn't know the truth, thought about it for a while, but found out helplessly that he really didn't seem to have much leverage, so he had to answer calmly, "I'm just a war orphan. Apart from my own life, I can't give anything more. "

"Master Shirataki, if you want to get something from me, please tell me directly." Yahiko's temperament is quite straightforward, and he does not mean to hide anything in his words.

Shirataki frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to reject Yahiko's request to become a disciple. Due to his appearance, the plot at this stage has been messed up by him. If Yahiko's line is messed up again, he doesn't know what will happen. I don’t know what the consequences will be, and whether Nagato can be found.

Seeing the two people leaving the hotel with disappointed expressions, Shirataki showed a trace of solemnity on his face, "It seems I have to hurry up, if this continues."

Half a month later, Shirataki returned to Konoha again due to a one-month mission deadline. At this time, he had just walked out of the Hokage Building. Apparently, he had just finished reporting to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After leaving the Hokage Building and returning home, it was already evening.

In the living room at home, Shirataki met Naoki and Kushina, who had returned to the village temporarily to rest.

First, he exchanged greetings with Kushina after a long separation, and then Shirataki gave a sermon to the rope tree.

This scene was seen by Kushina on the side, and she felt quite unhappy, but she didn't say much.

Shirataki looked at Kushina and saw that she was slumped on the sofa, eating an apple in silence, as if she was sulking.

Shirataki thought for a while and then told Nao Shu, "Go hire a nanny tomorrow. Remember to ask for a girl. She shouldn't be too old. She should be around twenty years old. I'll pay for it." After hearing this, Nao Shu He glanced at Kushina subconsciously, and instantly understood Shirataki's intention, and nodded quickly, accepting the matter.

Unexpectedly, when Kushina heard the conversation between Shirataki and Naoki, she suddenly seemed to explode. She threw the apple in her hand towards the ground and yelled at Shirataki, "I don't need a babysitter! Just you." Just let me fend for myself without my sister!"

Kushina suddenly became angry, obviously frightening Naoki. He hurriedly looked at Shirataki aside, but saw that the latter's face had turned down. "Brother Shirataki, Kushina, she"

Raising his hand to stop Naoki's words, Shirataki took a few steps forward and rushed to Kushina. He bent down slightly and asked softly, "Kushina, do you have any dissatisfaction? I..."
