After hearing Nagato's words, Namikaze Minato became even more confused and couldn't help but take a deep look at Nagato.
"You mean you want to live in Konoha Village?"
Namikaze Minato stared at the three people with slight confusion and reconfirmed.
He seemed to have heard wrongly and couldn't believe his ears. After all, the three of them were wearing ninja forehead protectors from other villages.
And there was a scratch mark on the ninja forehead protectors, which was obviously a sign of rebellion.
So since it's a traitor...
There is no reason for Konoha Village to take in such a traitorous ninja!
Not to mention that he is not Hokage now, even if he becomes Hokage in the future, he still cannot take in these people!
Because this is an unwritten rule in the ninja world.
Once you take in a rebellious nin, it is equivalent to going against that village, and any rebellious nin in any village will actually be jointly wanted by other villages, because this kind of behavior of judging nin is intolerable among ninjas...
Namikaze Minato didn't want to accept these people into Konoha Village.
Not to mention whether there is a true master-disciple relationship between them and Jiraiya-sensei, this still needs to be considered, even if they are really Jiraiya-sensei's disciples, they have no direct relationship with him...
If he becomes a member of the Leaf Village through this, and puts himself in a passive situation, and is criticized or even counterattacked by the third generation, then it will be very passive and very bad for him. situation, and he didn't want to get himself into this situation.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Namikaze Minato became much silent.
He did not express the closeness of his junior brothers and sisters. Instead, he deliberately made the aura exuding from his body create a kind of alienation that would repel people thousands of miles away. He hoped that the three people in front of him could perceive everything here on their own. Understand how unreliable the things they say are.
"Yes, we hope to live in Konoha Village. I will bring the Akatsuki organization we brought with us. If you think this is inappropriate, we can disband the Akatsuki organization and only the three of us will join Konoha. Village, of course you think we are not qualified to be ninjas of Konoha Village, we can also keep the original village, but we want to live in Konoha Village."
Nagato explained slowly, his tone was quite patient, but there was still a sense of pride in his patient tone that even he himself was not aware of. .
After all, after Nagato learned that he was a member of the Otsutsuki clan, he had incomprehensible pride in many of the decisions he made. He already regarded himself as a very, very talented person.
"Why?"
Namikaze Minato stared at Nagato in front of him in confusion. His expression showed almost no fluctuation, and even when he said these words, he seemed a little indifferent.
He wants to let the other party know his attitude through his performance, so that he can retreat and stop continuing the stalemate, so that both parties can look better.
Namikaze Minato is not yet such a cold-hearted person who can completely assert himself in everything. He still retains his original warmth and kindness.
It's just that because of the special situation now, when he faced some uncertain things, he suppressed all these things, but despite this, he was still the kind of person who would go out of his way to do something when encountering these things. People who adjust accordingly.
"Why should I let you enter and live in Konoha Village?"
"You have to give me a reason to convince me."
"If you just say that you are Mr. Jiraiya's disciples, then you don't have to waste your time here. If you want to stay in Konoha Village through such a relationship, you can go directly to Mr. Jiraiya, and You’re not here to find me.”
Namikaze Minato's tone seemed very calm, and when he looked at these three people, he felt vaguely confused.
Because judging from the expressions of these three people, they don't seem to yearn for Konoha Village that much, but they are extremely persistent in wanting to stay in Konoha Village. This in itself is a place full of contradictions.
Why do you have to stay in a place you don't particularly like
And his eyes are still so determined...
It's as if you can stay here no matter what the cost. This is similar to bringing a mission here. So what is the purpose of that mission
Namikaze Minato is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, so in many things, he can have a very subtle insight into some of the inside stories here. He is vaguely aware that the three people in front of him are not the purpose, they simply want to One year is not what he says, missing Teacher Jiraiya is a completely different emotion inside. The three of them want to achieve a purpose that he is not clear about, and stay in Konoha Village. This is the effect they want to achieve.
After Namikaze Minato discovered this matter, he did not want to help these people because he felt that they might want to deal with him differently in this matter. This was not his Something that can be easily accepted.
Namikaze Minato was secretly thinking, if the purpose of these people coming here is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but to frame him in this way, then as long as he is willing to nod and bring these people When he came here, whether he joined the Konoha Village or temporarily lived in the Konoha Village, he committed a very big taboo.
Because the appearance of such taboos will leave people with an excuse.
Once the third generation knows about such a thing.
Then it is entirely possible to say these things during the Hokage succession ceremony.
Then there would be no way for him to succeed as Hokage.
Because these things are a very serious mistake,
If he is already the Hokage and has all the rights in his own hands, then it is possible to do this kind of thing secretly and change his identity so that they can continue to live in Konoha Village.
The premise is that doing so is of great significance to him or has some benefits that he cannot refuse, and not just because these three people are just disciples of Teacher Jiraiya.
There is no doubt that Namikaze Minato is a very emotional person. Whether he treats his relatives and friends before becoming Hokage or after becoming Hokage, he has a strong sense of responsibility.
But it doesn't mean that he is a person who will be swayed by emotions.
If he were placed in his current position, he would be about to become Hokage, and he would be full of uncertainties.
Because the third generation and Danzo planned things together, he was in a passive situation again. He would not use emotions to influence some of his current decisions. This would make him in the originally passive situation. Appear more passive.
Moreover, Namikaze Minato had another idea in mind.
He wondered if there was a possibility that these three people were brought here by the Sandai or Danzo.
Just like the seven ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure Village before.
They were originally part of the plan, and they led him into a well-designed trap.
If this is the case, then if he accepts these people in subsequent matters, he will appear extremely passive but unable to turn around.
Just imagine.
If it comes to the moment of the Hokage Skills Ceremony.
There is no need for the third generation to stand up and say anything deliberately.
As long as Orochimaru and Danzo came out to clarify that everything they said before was false, and pointed the finger at him, saying that he was the one who encouraged them to do these things, to slander the third generation.
If that's all it is, it's just a change in reputation.
Because whether it was Orochimaru or Danzo, when they said these words, it was already the second time, which would definitely cause doubts about the authenticity.
People don't believe it easily.
Because of the previous examples, everyone is alert.
But if we add these three rebel ninjas from Amegakure Village who came to Konoha Village, and even some rebel ninja troops...
So the situation that Namikaze Minato is in is not just a situation of instigating Orochimaru and Danzo, but also a situation of accepting the rebellious ninja from other villages!
If these people are allowed to live in Konoha Village, they can make confessions at any time after they come out to prove that they have accepted Namikaze Minato, then this matter will become a real hammer, that is, they can A conclusive evidence that decided to let him leave the position of Hokage.
It is for these reasons that Namikaze Minato is not willing to easily allow these three people to enter the Konoha Village, because these things will indeed hurt him quite a lot. If he is taken out alone, the problem of his competition for the Hokage will still be Have a great impact.
"We won't cause you any trouble..."
Nagato still persisted and said that before they came, they had already guessed that they would encounter many obstacles, so they were fully mentally prepared before coming. They knew that Namikaze Minato would reject these words, so they also There were no surprises, and I still recognized this kind of thing.
Namikaze Minato looked at the three Nagato people suspiciously.
In fact, he still had many concerns in his heart.
After all, if they are introduced to Konoha Village, they will have to bear a lot of risks. This is not so simple and can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Their identities can be seen on the surface. These three people are all ninjas from Yuyin Village in the Land of Rain, and they all have a horizontal line on their ninja forehead protectors, indicating that they are actually rebellious ninjas from Lianzhe Village.
Namikaze Minato didn't know why the other three disciples accepted by Teacher Jiraiya were all rebels. This strange feeling made him feel that it was very likely a trap designed for him.
Now is an important time for the succession of Hokage. If we are not able to deal with it carefully, any situation that may occur may very well be defeated by the third generation at the Hokage Succession Ceremony. At that time, we will regret it.
Once you miss it, there is no chance to start over.
Fighting for the position of Hokage, this is the only chance.
Just like once Hatake Sakumo was given a half-sleeved Hokage robe, he would have no chance to step into such a situation again.
At this moment, Namikaze Minato's mind was spinning rapidly, and information was being loaded one after another. He was thinking about various possibilities, hoping to reduce all threats to a minimum, so that Only then could we come up with the best solution.
"I cannot accept you entering Konoha Village!"
Namikaze Minato thought carefully and shook his head. He stared at the three people in front of him, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes. This was not something that could be discussed.
If things could be solved so easily, this wouldn't be a problem.
"We just want to live in Konoha Village. We can even serve as your support and will not hold you back in any way."
At this time, Yahiko immediately spoke. This was the first time he spoke. Before meeting Namikaze Minato, Nagato had always spoken.
This also proves the order of the three members of the Akatsuki organization. Originally, Mingyan was the absolutely well-deserved boss, but due to the change in Nagato's identity, this position is now held by Nagato.
But at this time, Yahiko discovered that Nagato was obviously frustrated when he spoke, so he immediately stood up and started to share Nagato's worries. You must know that this is not something they long for, but they have to do it.
If you had asked them to go to Konoha Village half a month ago, none of these people would be willing to go. They would even regard Konoha Village as an enemy. Looking at the entire Konoha Village, they are the only people they are interested in and have a favorable impression of. The person is Teacher Jiraiya, and anyone else is an enemy to them.
But today is different from the past. After seeing Qingyu, they understood that if they wanted to see Qingyu again, they had to stay in Konoha Village, otherwise they would not be able to enter as outsiders often, and they did not Permit, I don't know how to pass the barrier of Konoha Village.
Winning Namikaze Minato's consent was their only idea.
"Help?"
After hearing this word, Namikaze Minato.
He was stunned for a moment.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
It's just that the smile is not like the sunny smile of the past, but has a touch of irony in it.
His eyes swept over the three people and then landed on Mingya, and then a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
"The three of you came to me at this time, and you brought a lot of rebel nin with you. If I agree to you living in Konoha Village, then you are not my help but my burden."
Namikaze Minato didn't want to say it so clearly, but he found that after he hinted several times in a row and repeatedly expressed that he didn't want to be like this, the three people still didn't know what to do or wanted him to help them. Leaving him in Konoha Village was an outcome he didn't want to see.
"We will not be a burden to you."
Konan then spoke, his purple eyes staring at Bo, Feng Shuimen's eyes flashing with strong expectations. If there is anyone among these three people who really wants to stay in Konoha Village the most, it is Konan.
After Xiaonan met Qingyu, he was deeply impressed by this man's personal charm.
She has been looking for Qingyu's figure!
After finding Qingyu, she became even more aware that if she lived in Konoha Village, they might pass by each other in the future.
Although she doesn't know who this person is!
But what she can be sure of is that that person will always pay attention to Ichiraku Ramen. As long as he often appears near Ichiraku Ramen, he is very likely to meet him at any time.
As for Nagato, who is in the same trio, it is because of his identity as the Otsutsuki clan. He and Aoyu belong to the same Otsutsuki clan.
He now felt like a foreigner on this planet, and he felt that he was not the same type of person as all the ninjas now.
Not even the same species.
So in his heart Qingyu is the only "fellow fellow"!
He came here not only to ask for some help from Qingyu, but also to have the special feeling of meeting fellow villagers.
On the contrary, it was Yahiko among the three...
In fact, entering Konoha Village is the most indispensable thing. He has no nature at all, and in the Kingdom of Rain, he is still the only boss in his Akatsuki organization.
Now that Konoha Village has been defeated, their positions have changed. Nagato has stood on his head, and he has no dispute or solution, because this person is a member of the Otsutsuki clan. Although his strength is not It was revealed, but that potential already made him feel extremely small.
He seemed to be like a bug in front of him, unable to attract the other person's attention at all.
If they hadn't known each other since childhood and had accumulated some feelings earlier, maybe he would no longer be qualified to climb up to Nagato.
In addition, he found that Xiaonan, whom he had always loved, began to be indifferent to him at this time.
And both of them hope to come to Konoha Village, so that he will be the only one left.
His decision is not that important.
If he is unwilling to follow him to Konoha Village, then he will be directly excluded from the three people.
It might even lead to the settlement of the Akatsuki organization, so he still followed, but in his heart he was the only one who didn't have any special feelings about entering Konoha Village.
All of a sudden.
It can be said that the three people in the Akatsuki organization have their own minds.
But none of their thoughts deviated from the general direction, and they still hoped to stay in Konoha Village.
He could even help Namikaze Minato.
Originally, they had already gone through some planning and inquiring, and knew that Namikaze Minato had won the battle for Hokage and had the right to inherit the position of Hokage.
In the near future, Namikaze Minato will become the Hokage of Konoha Village, so they found him at this time.
This is not a difficult choice, because if they come here a little later, Namikaze Minato will have already become the Hokage. By then, they will be like defecting to Namikaze Minato, which will make them appear particularly passive.
This did not affect their thoughts, but after Nagato knew that she was a member of the Otsutsuki clan, her heart had changed, and a kind of pride originating from her soul exuded from her bones.
This makes him unwilling to rely on others easily, even if it is just to see Qingyu here, it seems like an act, but he still feels that this feeling makes him very wronged.
Precisely because of this!
The three of them chose this node.
I hope to meet Namikaze Minato here and establish some friendly contacts with some Minato before he becomes Hokage.
And were introduced into the Leaf Village. After all, the four of them have the same teacher.
That was Jiraiya-sensei.
But…
None of them expected it.
No matter what they say they hit a wall here.
They didn't know why Namikaze Minato was completely different from the kind and talkative person in their impression.
The other party was like a cold piece of ice, constantly rejecting their requests, not caring about the feelings between Jiraiya-sensei at all.
Of course, it's not just Minato, even they don't care too much about this master-disciple relationship. This kind of thing can't attract their attention too much.
"I still can't let you enter the Leaf Village!"
Namikaze Minato said with certainty. As he spoke, he kept shaking his head, with an unquestionable determination on his face.
