Chapter 746 Waiting for Mr. Jiraiya’s return!
Qingyu watched everything in front of him helplessly, and he found that Xiaonan became more and more comfortable in dealing with these things.
This can be said to be Xiaonan's original talent.
It's just that at this time point, it is obvious that she has not fully awakened. It is not like the mature charm that Konan showed when watching anime in the past, when Konan first came out, but now she looks young. There is a tenderness that has not yet faded away.
When Xiaonan handles things, he is not as relaxed as in the official plot. After all, he is still young and has not experienced so many things and has not received so much experience. He is like a blank sheet of paper.
However, in a very short period of time, Konan went from being in a state of almost doom and gloom to having Minato Namikaze in her hands. This process was completed very quickly.
Qingyu was completely a witness to the entire process.
He understood that Xiaonan had grasped the key to this problem, which was emotion.
Normally don't talk about feelings.
Especially when Namikaze Minato is about to become the Fourth Hokage.
Any little talk about feelings is meaningless. However, it also depends on who you are talking about feelings with and whether the relationship has been discussed in this way.
Namikaze Minato's posture when he was at the gate of Konoha Village was so indifferent, and even revealed a lot of coldness. He looked like a piece of ice that had never melted for thousands of years, and there was no such thing as that which made people look at it. It feels very comfortable.
In addition, the Akatsuki trio met Namikaze Minato for the first time and did not know his original appearance, so they would preconceptions that Namikaze Minato was such a person.
Based on these conditions, their first encounter with Namikaze Minato would definitely end in failure.
But this ending didn't last long.
Neither Nagato nor Yahiko realized the problem, and they did not want to enter the Leaf Village again, so they chose to leave. However, Konan who stayed behind had not calmed down to think about it at that time. what's going on.
At that time, Konan was left alone with no relatives. If she wanted to stay in Konoha Village, she had no way at all. All she could think of was to communicate with Ichiraku Ramen through her status as Jiraiya's disciple. Otsutsuki Toneri.
But this method is too risky.
This also put Xiaonan in a passive state when he met Namikaze Minato not long ago, even completely at the mercy of others.
At that time, after Konan met different Minato, the decision she made was to either capture her or let her go. All the decisions were made in Namikaze Minato's heart.
But after Qingyu came, things changed.
When Qingyu read the memory of the gatekeeper ninja, he did not pass the pictures to Xiaonan, but those pictures did not need to be transmitted at all. Xiaonan knew it completely, because that was exactly what she had just experienced.
But Namikaze Minato didn't know.
So Minato Namikaze focused all his attention on those memory scenes.
Later, more attention was devoted to analyzing these situations and situations with Qingyu.
It seems like time flies by.
These analyzes did not take long.
but…
Qingyu's actions bought Xiaonan precious time.
During this period of time, Konan carefully reviewed the past and observed the changes in Namikaze Minato's expression, and finally slowly found one of the key clues.
That is Jiraiya-sensei.
At the end of the day it all comes down to Jiraiya-sensei.
After all, when they came to the gate of Konoha Village, Namikaze Minato immediately appeared in front of them when they brought up Teacher Jiraiya.
And when Konan met Otsutsuki Toneri before, the latter also said that he would use Teacher Jiraiya's thread to seek refuge with Namikaze Minato.
Konan's thinking was still very fast. She realized at this moment that Teacher Jiraiya's line was exactly the hint given to them by Otsutsuki Toneri, but they didn't analyze it carefully when the three of them were together. These are not used well at all.
This actually gives her a big opportunity now!
After Konan pulled him twice in a row, he already understood that Namikaze Minato was actually a very passionate and extremely emotional person, but during this period, he was wrapped in a cold appearance because of certain things.
But Namikaze Minato is not such a cold and indifferent person at all.
The reason he was able to do such indifferent things was that there were more important things waiting for him to do at the moment.
Coupled with the previous analysis that Namikaze Minato and Aoyu did not avoid her.
Konan soon realized.
What Namikaze Minato really cares about is the position of Hokage.
In other words, before getting the position of Hokage, any risky behavior is very unnecessary. This is why Minato Namikaze used such an indifferent coat to wrap up his big heart.
But this is the case, Namikaze Minato is not a cold person. Even though he is always wrapped in a cold coat, he is still a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Especially when it comes to Jiraiya-sensei.
When Konan said what she just said, that is, when it came to matters involving Nagato and Yahiko, she could very clearly see the embarrassment and annoyance on Namikaze Minato's face that could not be concealed at all.
Konan knew very well at this time that if Namikaze Minato had become the Fourth Hokage or had no hope of becoming the Fourth Hokage, then when the three of them went to join Namikaze Minato in the same matter, the latter would definitely give in. A very satisfactory arrangement for them.
It's just that at this point in time, Namikaze Minato is concerned about too many things.
It is precisely because of these things that he cares about that Minato Namikaze becomes extremely entangled in his heart, but it is often better to block things like this. The more suppressed the feelings, the stronger they become the moment they erupt.
The emotions that Namikaze Minato had been suppressing were completely unbearable at that moment when he heard that Jiraiya and the teacher might come to Konoha Village. It was at that time that Namikaze Minato began to gradually reveal what was deep in his heart. Hidden true emotions.
When Minato Namikaze has such emotions, he can express two points.
The first point is that he is no longer so wary of Xiaonan. It can be said that he has already acquiesced in his heart that Xiaonan is not his enemy.
Another point is that Jiraiya-sensei is really important to him.
Konan caught these two points very keenly, which made her understand that she was out of the scope of suspicion, and there was no problem in the direction of attacking Jiraiya-sensei.
…
"Then it depends on whether you are willing or not?"
When Qingyu heard this sentence, he couldn't help but want to give Xiaonan a thumbs up, because this answer was too strong, so he directly threw the question back to This side of Namikaze Minato.
The situation just now was so simple, and if Xiaonan answered directly, whether she wanted to or not, the situation in Konoha Village would return to the situation where she was passive.
If you want to...
Then every step Konan takes next will be behind Namikaze Minato.
Because if he wants to stay in Konoha Village, he must listen to Namikaze Minato. The decision-making power lies in Namikaze Minato's hands, and Namikaze Minato can regain the initiative.
But if she says she doesn't want to, then all her previous efforts will be in vain, and the good situation will be completely ruined, and it may even cause everything to develop in an uncontrollable direction again.
The question just now was actually a game for Xiaonan and Minato.
Namikaze Shuibun seemed to have said this question intentionally or unintentionally, and he directly directed an army towards Konan. No matter which angle Konan answered, his momentum would weaken.
But…
Even Aoyu didn't expect that Konan directly chose not to answer, but instead threw the question back to Namikaze Minato's side.
Now it was Namikaze Minato's turn to be in this embarrassing situation.
willing
Still not willing
Now Minato Namikaze faced such an option.
This is not so simple that he can say it according to his innermost thoughts.
If Namikaze Minato said he was willing, it would be equivalent to agreeing to allow Konan to enter the Leaf Village, so he would need to find a way to arrange an identity for Konan, but at this time point, he didn't want to do anything. Because this is likely to get him into unspeakable trouble.
But if he said he was unwilling, it would be equivalent to completely abandoning the bond between the two disciples of Jiraiya-sensei who had just moved him.
He had already abandoned him once before at the gate of Konoha Village.
If you continue to abandon it now...
Then the problem will become more serious.
Namikaze Minato could almost foresee that if he continued to make this choice, it would mean that there would never be the possibility of repairing the rift between him and Konan.
This not only means that the relationship between them will be broken again, but it will also allow Teacher Jiraiya to continue to move forward from the perspective of worrying about them. Even at some time in the future, Teacher Jiraiya will She felt extremely disappointed because of her decision today.
Of course there is another reason.
That is if he says he doesn't want to...
It seems that the touch and annoyance touched by all the remarks just now, as well as the expectation for Teacher Jiraiya to return to Konoha Village and witness the moment when he becomes Hokage, all the emotions that burst out during that period of time , will disappear suddenly like a dream bubble, leaving only a hypocritical body for him.
Namikaze Minato is not a hypocritical person. The feelings he expresses are the sincere feelings in his heart. He is also an extremely emotional person, but he knows very well that if he says he is unwilling, it will be equivalent to all the previous feelings. The emotion presented is saying goodbye.
At that time, the feelings he just expressed were embarrassing, soulless, and would make him feel extremely hypocritical.
This is a very indescribable feeling.
Namikaze Minato now faced a dilemma.
There is no way to answer.
He didn't know how to answer either.
Now this answer is not something he can explain away on his own.
After all, if she hadn't thrown this problem to Xiaonan just now and wanted to regain the upper hand, he wouldn't have had to mention this matter.
As long as things get over by mutual acquiescence, Xiaonan will probably leave Konoha Village.
But now that this topic has been brought to Namikaze Minato again, no matter what he chooses, it will be very troublesome at the end.
All of a sudden.
Namikaze Minato didn't know how to choose.
He immediately looked towards Qingyu.
Those blue eyes flashed with a look of help.
At this moment, all he can count on is Qingyu, because Qingyu is also here to witness the whole process and may be able to give him some constructive opinions.
After feeling Minato Namikaze's gaze, Aoba nodded slowly, knowing that he should take over the topic. If Minato Namikaze continues to be oppressed by Konan until he can't breathe, everything will be counterproductive. .
Qingyu once watched a famous martial arts TV series. At that time, a very powerful being said something that was very difficult to pronounce, but it had to be said that it had a certain philosophy.
If everything goes too far, fate will inevitably end soon!
So for now, enough is enough. If Minato Namikaze continues to be hit by Konan, it may not necessarily be a good situation for Konan in the end.
Qingyu just gave a thumbs up to Xiaonan's problem-shifting method. It must be said that the transfer of this problem was a decisive turning point for Xiaonan, and it instantly made subsequent things very easy.
otherwise…
If Xiaonan had answered Qingyu's question very normally, then everything that happened now would be beyond his expectation.
It is even developing in an uncontrollable direction.
At that time, even if he wanted to solve the problem, it would not be so easy.
But there is no problem now.
Qingyu nodded, and then looked towards Xiaonan. His dark pupils were very calm. There was no seriousness or relaxation on the expressionless face. Overall, he gave people a very easy-going but sharp feeling.
This is a very contradictory feeling.
It seems that this person standing here looks very ordinary, there is nothing special about him, but if you look closely, it seems that this person is completely special.
All of a sudden.
Xiaonan's eyes looking at Qingyu kept changing.
During this period of time, Konan's view of this ninja named Aoyu changed many times, and his impression was constantly changing and adjusting.
But these changes are not wavy line changes.
It's not a wavy process where you first watch Qingyu all over, then realize that he is very powerful, and then watch him over again and become even more powerful.
This is a completely upward diagonal line.
Xiaonan looked at this person when she first met Qingyu. At that time, she thought he was ordinary, but she didn't mean to look down on him.
Because she knows.
At such a critical time point, the person who can betray Bo Feng Shuimen's trust is definitely not an ordinary person.
So with her trust in Namikaze Minato, Konan decided to slightly raise her opinion of Aoba, feeling more or less alert and dignified in her heart.
It turns out that Qingyu did not disappoint her.
After what Qingyu has done, perhaps some words, perhaps some actions, or perhaps some small details, Xiaonan's cognition will be refreshed to a certain extent.
This is a very rare thing.
Xiaonan rarely saw someone who would give her surprises like this one after another.
Every time she felt that she had overestimated Qingyu as much as possible, but later she found that she still underestimated him.
Now this moment.
Xiaonan followed Qingyu's gaze and looked at him.
She understood that Qingyu was entrusted by the Beast Wave Fengshui Sect to come up with a solution.
Because she knew very well what kind of desperate situation she had forced Minato Namikaze into with what she just said. Even deep in her heart she was screaming for Minato Namikaze, hoping that Minato Namikaze would not be unable to do so. Make a decision, after all, she still wants to stay in Konoha Village.
"When did Jiraiya-sama come to Konoha Village?"
Qingyu suddenly asked Xiaonan a question. He didn't talk about the topic just now, and he didn't even have any intention of continuing. However, judging from the way he spoke, it didn't look like he was deliberately changing the topic.
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment after hearing Qingyu's words. She vaguely felt that Qingyu seemed to be planning some follow-up words, but judging from his current state of mind, there was no way to fully comprehend Qingyu's next move.
"Um… "
Xiaonan immediately fell into thinking, because such a topic made it impossible for her to refute it like she just did. After all, this was not a subjective question, but an inquiry about information.
After Minato Namikaze saw that Konan was speechless, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Aoyu and nodded, his blue eyes flashing with deep appreciation.
He clearly knew that after Qingyu crossed the topic, his embarrassing moment disappeared like this.
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
Xiaonan took a deep breath, because she didn't know this information now, but pretended to have such information. After all, if she didn't tell it now, it would be too late.
"Jiraiya-sensei will arrive at the Leaf Village before Brother Minato becomes Hokage!"
Xiao Nanyan said with certainty, as if she already knew such information, and she could not hesitate at all on this matter now, otherwise the advantage she had established previously would disappear.
"Watergate."
Aoba turned his head and immediately looked towards Namikaze Minato. After his interruption, the undecidable pressure on Namikaze Minato suddenly disappeared.
"I think at least until Lord Jiraiya comes to Konoha Village..."
"She should stay in the Leaf Village!"
Qingyu immediately gave his answer.
This answer reached Namikaze Minato's heart, causing Namikaze Minato's expression to become solemn.
"Why?"
This time, Namikaze Minato was not wondering whether he and Aoyu were thinking of going together, but he had no idea at all and was completely stunned.
Now at this time, he has completely fallen into a dilemma.
Emotionally, he doesn't want Konan to leave here. After all, he also wants Konan to meet Teacher Jiraiya, which is a very good thing for both Konan and Teacher Jiraiya.
But from a rational point of view, he was worried that Konan's existence would affect his ability to become Hokage. After all, there were three generations outside who were watching him closely, and any small movements he made might be infinitely amplified and finally criticized. , causing him to lose his position as Hokage.
So in his heart, he wanted to keep Xiaonan, but he didn't want to keep Xiaonan. The two thoughts were almost at odds with each other, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
Now when he heard Qingyu's words, his most instinctive thought was to know how to solve this problem and whether there was a compromise solution.
"because… "
Qingyu's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked very intelligent.
"First of all, I don't know yet whether Xiaonan has completely ruled out suspicion, so keeping him here is a more conservative decision."
"Second point, Xiaonan knows the time when Jiraiya-sama returns to Konoha Village, so as Jiraiya, his disciple Xiaonan also has reasonable and legitimate reasons to stay in Konoha Village, and he cannot use such reasons to attack us. attack."
"The third point is that when Master Jiraiya returns to Konoha Village, perhaps Master Jiraiya can give us the answer to this question."
Qingyu explained slowly.
His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly, and his methodical thinking made everyone look at him sideways.
"That makes sense!"
Namikaze Minato immediately nodded his head and came up with a compromise plan, which would not only allow Konan to stay in Konoha Village, but also save him from being attacked because of this matter.
Even Xiaonan nodded silently, feeling that this was indeed a very good solution, and according to this solution...
At least before Namikaze Minato became Hokage, she had the opportunity to stay in Konoha Village, and Aoba had even thought of a valid reason for staying here.
That is…
Waiting for Jiraiya-sensei’s return!
