At this critical moment, Xiaonan's thinking is actually very clear.
She knew very clearly that when Aoyu, Otsutsuki Toneri, said that he wanted to find them and needed to enter Ichiraku Ramen, she knew very clearly that Aoyu lived in Konoha Village and could pass through it at any time. Ichiraku Ramen has seen some conditions inside, and as long as she enters Ichiraku Ramen, she will be taken seriously.
So now if she wants not to miss this opportunity, continue to be by Qingyu's side and stay in Konoha Village, then she still needs to rely on Qingyu to find Qingyu.
So now comes the question...
When Namikaze Minato couldn't work, Aoba, who was responsible for connecting them at the beginning, was the only way.
She didn't know what kind of relationship Aoba had with the Leaf Village, what weight his words held, whether he could keep her in the Leaf Village without going through Namikaze Minato, or whether he could use him The power of Minato Namikaze allowed her to stay in Konoha Village, but she had to give it a try no matter what.
After Konan made such a decision, the next thing she had to do was to let herself enter Konoha Village and enter Ichiraku Ramen. However, after just experiencing the incident of Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato obviously did not want them to enter. When she arrived in Konoha Village, she was afraid of affecting the latter's Hokage handover ceremony, so all she could do was to bypass Namikaze Minato, that is, she thought of Teacher Jiraiya who connected her with Namikaze Minato.
The closer it gets to this time, the clearer Xiaonan's thinking becomes. She is integrating all the powers he can use now, letting these powers be used by him to help her carry out subsequent operations, so that she can stay here normally.
After Konan mentioned the names of Mr. Jiraiya, the gatekeepers at the scene were all stunned. They didn't know how to proceed. If she just wanted to force her way in, there were many ways. But once you tell Jiraiya-sama, it's a different matter.
"I have to go to Konoha Village to eat a bowl of ramen no matter what."
Xiaonan said firmly that she wanted to go now and didn't want to delay, but if she couldn't get in now, she would think about other ways and wouldn't just give up.
"I have made my words very clear. My two companions have already left. We have already communicated with Namikaze Minato. We know that we will not stay in Konoha Village anymore, and it is a long way for me to come here. I just want to try the fragrant ramen that Jiraiya-sensei mentioned."
Xiaonan continued to express her opinions. As she spoke, she secretly observed the gatekeeper ninjas in front of her. She could clearly see the hesitation emanating from these people. It was obvious that after what she said, their hearts had changed. Some don't know how to emphasize themselves.
Chance.
An opportunity that Konan immediately recognized.
The hesitation in the hearts of these people was exactly the way to make her stand up.
After all, no one is a robot with completely rational thinking. Everyone may have their own concerns. Just after she finished talking about Teacher Jiraiya, she saw the changes in the faces of these gatekeepers, although it was only subtle. expression, but still couldn't escape her eyes.
"The only problem I want is this simple. I won't go inside to cause trouble, otherwise we would have asked to go in from the beginning. I just want to eat a bowl of noodles now. You can go with me, and then we Come out again, if you can't satisfy me with such a simple thing, then I will have no choice but to go to Tsuchikage-sensei."
Konan said again, this time she could be said to have used Jiraiya as a sword, but at the same time it was a shield. Putting it here was very effective, and the people present were stunned. They I don't know how to solve this problem perfectly.
"Huh..."
The gatekeeper ninja immediately took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down his mood. His mind was thinking quickly. To be able to be a gatekeeper here, in fact, to a certain extent, he also needed to be able to change his thoughts quickly, otherwise If the response is slow, some problems will occur.
"I see."
After a moment, the gatekeeper ninja nodded. Judging from the meaning presented, it can indeed be said that he is ready.
"I can take you to eat noodles."
"But you must promise me to leave Konoha Village immediately after eating the noodles and not do anything else."
"Otherwise I can only do business."
The gatekeeper ninja said seriously that when he did this, he gave Jiraiya a face. After all, if it wasn't for Jiraiya's affairs, he would never let go.
If today's events are reported to Jiraiya-sama in the future, and because he stops the other disciple and fails to let the disciple eat a bowl of ramen, when the matter is investigated, Jiraiya-sama's face will not be so good. It looked good, but he didn't know how to explain it.
After all, that was Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha Village!
This is no simple role!
the most important is…
Eating a bowl of noodles is not a particularly complicated or difficult task at all.
This gatekeeper ninja knows very well that if he fails to do something difficult, Lord Jiraiya will not blame her even if he finds out later, because this is his duty.
But if he just refuses to eat a bowl of ramen, and if he still refuses after mentioning Jiraiya-sama's name, then he is really not giving Jiraiya face.
"good!"
Xiaonan nodded immediately and agreed happily. Her request was not high, she just wanted a bowl of ramen noodles.
Xiaonan didn't have any extra actions she wanted to do. This was the same as what she said. She came to Ichiraku Ramen this time purely because Qingyu told him before that if she wanted to find it, come here. To Ichiraku Ramen.
Xiaonan wants to take a gamble on such an opportunity!
Without such an opportunity, there would be no way for her to truly understand whether it was possible to stay in Konoha Village.
"Come with me."
The gatekeeper ninja nodded at Konan. After he said these words, he turned to look at the remaining companions. They exchanged a look with each other, indicating that they should continue to guard the gate of Konoha Village, and then took Konan walked into Konoha Village.
Konan followed the gatekeeper ninja unceremoniously. This was the opportunity she had fought for. She did not look at the direction in which Yahiko and Nagato left. She faintly discovered that from now on, they had already walked towards took their own different paths.
After Xiaonan entered Konoha Village, she began to look around this quiet and beautiful village. This was her first time entering Konoha Village. Everything was so fresh. There were green branches and the gurgling water. There are also children playing in the streets and alleys, and there is a very lively market...
Just talking about the environment of Konoha Village, it far exceeds that of Amegakure Village, and it shouldn't even be discussed together.
Xiao Nan grew up in the Land of Rain, a crying country where it rains constantly. Moreover, the Kingdom of Rain has been in war for many years without stopping. The economy is developing slowly and is even going backwards. People are living in dire straits.
During those dim years, all they could do was live, they lived hard, tried every means and even stole, without any sense of life at all, everything they came into contact with was It was dark, as if the entire ninja world was also dark, but now that he came to Konoha Village, she found that someone could really grow up in such a carefree and sunny life.
"Sure enough, my understanding of the world is still too small."
Konan murmured secretly in her heart, and she thought of Otsutsuki Toneri at that time. Like what he said, the ninja world is just a little bit of this planet, and the planet is just a drop in the ocean to the vast universe, nothing more. A speck of dust, all they see now is just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. She thought she understood the world, but found that you are just the most beautiful in the world.
Seeing Konoha Village now made her feel this way, because she was also in the ninja world and had only been exposed to Cloud Hidden Village before, but these two villages were completely different environments.
Not to mention those other villages.
All of a sudden.
She is also more understanding.
Why do wars often break out in the ninja world
There are indeed resources that are unevenly distributed!
If she were Sansho Hanzo from the Rain Country, after she gained strength, maybe she would also be tempted to plunder the resources of Konoha Village, because the Fire Country is too enviable and jealous.
Xiaonan relied on Konoha Village and didn't want to leave, not because of the environment of Konoha Village, but because of the people in Konoha Village.
Konan knew that Toner Otsutsuki was in the Leaf Village.
So when Nagato left, she was not willing to leave so easily.
But when she really entered Konoha Village, she realized that Konoha Village was so beautiful. Now she has fallen deeply in love with this village that she just met for the first time. She wonders if she can live in such a village. , what a happy thing that would be.
"Is this the Leaf Village?!"
Konan looked forward from a distance and immediately saw these three heads on the Hokage Rock. They were the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, and the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
These three heads were displayed prominently on the Hokage Rock, giving people a very majestic feeling, which made her feel extremely shocked when they first met.
