After hearing that voice, Konan's body trembled slightly. Yang Tao, holding a magic staff, whispered to her, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, Konan."
Hearing Konan's name, Yahiko looked at her in disbelief and asked, "You... You are Konan? How did you get so big?"
Yahiko stood up from the ground and looked at the mature Konan with a smile on his face, a brilliant smile that was somewhat similar to Naruto's, full of sincerity amidst his innocence.
Konan walked towards Yahiko step by step, then opened her arms and embraced him, before beginning to sob softly. Yahiko also remembered then.
"Oh, Konan, didn't I already die? I remember I was already in the Pure Land, why am I alive again? Where's Nagato?"
Konan cried even harder. At this moment, she didn't have the slightest resemblance to the Akatsuki's 'Angel' Konan; she was just like an ordinary young girl.
Yang Tao, who was watching from the side, chatted idly with Sasuke, "Konan can create an unlimited number of explosive tags. She's very suitable for your Leaf Village to develop its economy."
"Yahiko's personality is somewhat similar to Naruto's, harboring innocent dreams, but such a person is very suitable to take over the respons duties of your Uchiha's former police force."
"As for Nagato... He is from the Uzumaki clan. Even without the Rinnegan, he possesses a massive amount of Chakra. Like your brother, staying in the Leaf Village to spread his genes is also a good option."
"The future Leaf Village will inevitably be a diverse Leaf Village."
Sasuke thought about it from the perspective of the Leaf Village's decision-makers, nodded, and said, "You are right."
"These people are very useful to the Leaf Village."
Suddenly, Yang Tao thought of a question, turned to look at Sasuke, and asked, "I heard Naruto say you came with Jiraiya to find the Akatsuki. Where is Jiraiya?"
As soon as Yang Tao finished speaking, he saw a panicked expression on Sasuke's face. He immediately sent out a Shadow Clone to run out of the cave.
"I'm dealing with Nagato, and Jiraiya went to hold off the others..."
Yang Tao: "..."
Jiraiya, without any cheats, is going up against Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, and Hidan?
Is this Jiraiya's fate?
The Dragon should return to the sea, but the sea does not welcome Jiraiya!
Is this old pervert already completely dead?
At this moment, Konan had already released Yahiko. With red eyes, she walked to Yang Tao's side and said, "I promise you, any request, as long as you can revive Nagato."
"My request is very simple: you, Yahiko, and Nagato join the Leaf Village. Of course, you can refuse. I can personally send you to the Pure Land. This is not a difficult matter for me."
"Also, Shimura Danzo, the mastermind behind Yahiko's death back then, has been dead for a long time now."
Hearing that Danzo was dead, Konan said without any hesitation:
"I promise you, but Yahiko and Nagato..."
"Then you figure it out yourself. I only want the result. Life in the Leaf Village will definitely be better than you imagine."
Just then, Sasuke ran into the cave carrying a 'corpse'. No... not yet a corpse, at least still breathing.
Jiraiya was covered in blast marks, and even one of his arms was missing.
Yang Tao subconsciously wondered if he should just put him out of his misery, seeing how tragic he looked.
"Life Sanctuary... Healing Totem... Feast... Diamondflesh!"
Four spells landed on Jiraiya's body, and holy light instantly enveloped him.
While the Healing Totem was active, Yang Tao raised the magic staff in his hand and pointed it at the 'mummy' lying on the ground.
"Resurrection!"
Nagato, who had completely lost his life force, suddenly sat up and gasped for air.
In his originally hollow eye sockets, a pair of dark blue eyes, identical to Kushina's, grew out.
"Feast..."
A surge of power appeared within his originally withered body, continuously providing energy to his physique.
His originally mummy-like body gradually became fuller. Although he hadn't reached a plump state, he looked much better than when he was like a mummy.
"Konan, Nagato is entrusted to you."
Yang Tao left a sentence and walked towards Jiraiya. His severed arm had already regenerated, and the scars on his body gradually disappeared, only his clothes remained tattered.
"Jiraiya... How do you feel?"
"I felt like I was almost in the Pure Land just now, but then I was kicked out."
With that, Jiraiya jumped out of Sasuke's embrace. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Yang Tao and said, "You're finally back."
Yang Tao smiled. Too many ninjas had sacrificed themselves for the Leaf Village, but Jiraiya's sacrifice was definitely one of the most heroic, followed by Asuma and Hyuga Neji.
Of course, this was his internal ranking.
"Child of Destiny, Jiraiya, go and persuade your disciples to join the Leaf Village. This is your fault after all. If it weren't for you... there might not even be an Akatsuki now."
Jiraiya nodded lightly and walked towards Konan and the other two with heavy steps, just as he had taught them before.
"Sasuke, the matter is resolved, I should go now. Oh, by the way, stronger enemies will arrive in a while, but I feel that with you and Naruto, it shouldn't be a problem."
Yang Tao reached out and patted Sasuke, who was almost as tall as him.
"If you can't solve it, you can always find me."
"Sir, please take me with you!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit melancholic. Yang Tao heard this and directly stroked Sasuke's head, jokingly saying:
"Take you for what? If you were a little girl, I'd take you. At least you could warm the bed. What's the deal with taking a big man like you?"
"I came here just to buy some food and check on you and Naruto along the way. Now that I've seen you, I should go."
With that, a wooden door appeared in front of Yang Tao.
Back in the Overworld, Yang Tao sighed slightly. He didn't have that much energy to bring so many people, and each of them had their own things to do. No matter what, there would be a day of separation.
"Three-colored dango, Ichiraku Ramen, and Land of Waves grilled fish are in hand. It's time to visit Miko's world and try to make the Super Casserole as soon as possible..."
Walking to the wooden door of Miko's world, Yang Tao reached out, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in.
The cozy little house came into his view, but this time Miko was not in the bedroom.
Looking at the warm sunlight outside the window, Yang Tao murmured softly, "Miko and Elisa went to school?"
"In that case, I'll go to Kayako's house for a meal first, then go buy daifuku..."
Without even thinking, the 'wife's breakfast' he mentioned must be Mrs. Kayako's breakfast, after all, he himself rarely ate other people's food.
Plus the 'wife' attribute, it must be Kayako without a doubt.
He skillfully opened the window, then jumped out of Miko's room, and then lightly leaped into Kayako's courtyard.
