Chapter 226 Jiraiya Travels to the Hidden Rain Village

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Although Jiraiya wore a hat and used the transformation technique to disguise himself.

Nagato had already figured out the identity of the other party at a glance. It was none other than his teacher, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha.

However, Nagato didn't understand why Teacher Jiraiya wanted to hide his identity and sneak into the Land of Rain.

Hearing Nagato say Jiraiya's name, the rain ninja behind Nagato all focused on Jiraiya.

The name Jiraiya was no stranger to the rain ninja. Jiraiya was not only one of the powerful Sannin of Konoha, but also the mentor of many high-ranking people in the village.

After seeing that his forgery was exposed, Jiraiya simply released the transformation technique, scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Nagato, I didn't expect to see you like this, I thought I would have to wait a few more hours. "

Having said this, Jiraiya looked behind Nagato and asked with some confusion:

"By the way, Nagato, are you carrying out some secret mission with so many ninjas? If the situation is urgent, I won't disturb you."

Nagato shook his head slightly, and then said: "That's not true. I am leading my subordinates to maintain the roads in the nearby area and build a flood discharge channel nearby."

"So it turns out that you guys built the cement roads around here?"

Jiraiya looked surprised, and then said with some envy: "It seems that the daimyo of the Rain Country is a good man, and he is willing to build expensive roads in the border areas."

"Daimyo?" Nagato frowned and said, "What does building roads have to do with daimyo? The roads in the Land of Rain have always been the responsibility of the Rain Hidden Village."

Hearing this, Jiraiya was slightly startled, and then said: "Without the authorization and funds from the Daimyo, where will you get the money to build roads in the Land of Rain? Ninjas must have entrustments to work, right?"

At this time, it was Nagato's turn to look surprised and asked in confusion: "Why do ninjas have to be hired by others to do work? Why can't we do it ourselves?"

"Besides, there is no famous name in the Rain Country for a long time."

Jiraiya was silent for a few seconds, and he realized that the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and the Country of Rain might be different from what he imagined.

Konoha and the Fire Country daimyo have a cooperative relationship, but there are no daimyo in the Rain Country.

After pondering for a moment, Jiraiya said: "There is no daimyo in the Rain Country. Do you mean that the daimyo has disappeared, or is it that you..."

"That's not true..." Nagato paused, and then said: "After Bai Ye went to the Daiming Mansion, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain seemed to have voluntarily abdicated and handed over all power to the Rain Hidden Village."

"However, without the big names and nobles coming over, the development of the Rain Kingdom has been much faster."

After hearing Byakuya's name, Jiraiya immediately understood everything. The daimyo must have been threatened by Byakuya to abdicate.

Similar situations are not uncommon in the ninja world.

However, usually after the position of daimyo is abolished, a new noble will take the throne. For example, in the Land of Rain, it is very rare for no nobles to exist at all.

At this time, Nagato seemed to remember something and said to Jiraiya:

"By the way, Mr. Jiraiya, you haven't said the purpose of your visit to the Land of Rain yet. Is there something important in Konoha that requires cooperation with the Hidden Rain Village?"

"That's not true. After the war, I have been traveling in the ninja world. I happened to travel to the Land of Rain recently, so I thought about going to see you. I didn't expect to be discovered by you. It was a surprise..."

After saying that, Jiraiya looked at Nagato again, sighing in his heart.

As time went by, Nagato became more and more powerful. Even if he deliberately disguised himself, he could see through his forgery at a glance.

He is worthy of being the son of prophecy with the eye of reincarnation.

Nagato noticed Jiraiya's eyes and said with a smile:

"Since Mr. Jiraiya has nothing urgent to do, he will join us. After patrolling the nearby area, we will return to the village together."

Jiraiya nodded, he also wanted to see how Nagato worked.

The patrol work lasted for most of the day. During most of the day, Jiraiya saw how Nagato led his subordinates to use ninjutsu to open up channels, and how to use cement techniques to lay roads.

It was not like he had never seen Konoha ninjas perform similar ninjutsu before.

However, the area managed by Konoha Ninja Village is limited to Konoha Ninja Village, but it is almost compulsory to intervene in the affairs of the Country of Fire, and it will not build cement roads into the streets and alleys of the Country of Rain.

A few hours later, Nagato's work was completed and he returned to Amegakure Village with Jiraiya.

Amegakure Village is a city full of steampunk style. Compared with the sunny Konoha Ninja Village, it looks more like a huge steel factory.

After walking into the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya was surprised to find that basically all the residents here can perform ninjutsu. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are all ninjas.

After realizing this, Jiraiya frowned.

In the ninja world, it is not difficult to become a ninja. As long as you learn to refine chakra, and then master the Three Body Jutsu and kunai throwing skills, you can become a genin.

However, such genin will only become cannon fodder in war, and will not be qualified for professional commissions in peacetime. The increase in the number of ninjas will actually reduce the income of each ninja, so the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, except for Iwa Ninja, all the other five major ninja villages will control the number of ninjas and keep the number of ninjas within an appropriate range.

The Hidden Rain Village's behavior of making everyone a ninja made him begin to doubt whether the Hidden Rain Village was going to expand outward. After all, the land of the Rain Country could not support so many ninjas.

But a person like Yahiko should not be able to start a war.

Not long after, Jiraiya came to the Hidden Rain Village building. Yahiko and Konan personally welcomed Jiraiya to the reception room and entertained him as a VIP.

After a brief greeting, Jiraiya expressed his doubts: "Yahiko, why are there so many ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village?"

In Jiraiya's opinion, it is better to ask Yahiko directly than to doubt and guess in his heart.

Yahiko was stunned at first, then smiled and said: "Teacher Jiraiya, you are talking about those villagers who have mastered one or two ninjutsu. They are not ninjas in the village, but ordinary people."

"Ordinary people? Can they still be ordinary people after mastering ninjutsu?" Jiraiya frowned.

Yahiko nodded and explained, "Of course they are ordinary people. Ninjas are mercenaries, and they are just a group of vendors and workers."

"But in the ninja world, people who master ninjutsu are ninjas."

After a short pause, Jiraiya said earnestly, "For these ordinary people, mastering ninjutsu is not necessarily a good thing."
