Chapter 70: Luring and Kidnapping the Three Kids

"No, they have a blood feud with Konoha."

Jiraiya took a sip of sake and expressed his opposition. In the Original Plot, he might have taught the three kids for several years out of guilt, but he never brought them back to Konoha.

"I also don't approve."

Orochimaru also calmly stated his opinion.

"You decide for yourself."

Tsunade looked at Kawaki. Although she thought this was inappropriate, she still chose to support his final decision.

"Don't worry. They're just three kids. They won't make much of a stir."

Of course, Kawaki wouldn't mention that Nagato had the Rinnegan. Otherwise, Nagato might be eliminated by Orochimaru.

With great potential and a blood feud, they posed a significant threat to Konoha.

He wouldn't leave such a hidden danger behind.

After he finished speaking, no one else said a word. They all ate their meat, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Can you give us some more?"

Yahiko came to the four of them with an empty bowl. One bowl was indeed not enough for the three of them.

Kawaki and the other three all fixed their gazes on him, making Yahiko quite nervous.

His hand holding the bowl even trembled a little.

"Sure."

Kawaki lifted the corner of his mouth, showing a kind smile.

He took Yahiko's bowl and scooped another bowlful, adding some dry rations.

"Thank you, sir."

Yahiko took the bowl, thanked him, and then turned back to Nagato and Konan.

Surprise appeared on the faces of Nagato and Konan. This powerful Konoha Ninja seemed to be a good person.

Kawaki and the others drank sake and ate their meals slowly. It was still raining outside.

After the three kids finished eating, Yahiko took the empty bowl and rinsed it under the falling rain.

"Sir, here's your bowl."

Yahiko planned to return the bowl and leave. He was already satisfied with this full meal.

Moreover, the scene of Kawaki slaying Hanzō was still fresh in his memory, and he was a little afraid of him deep down.

He hadn't yet had the idea of learning Ninjutsu from them.

"What will you do for your next meal when you go back?"

Kawaki didn't take the bowl. He stared intently into little Yahiko's eyes. He was the leader of the three kids.

"We... we'll look for food when we're hungry."

Yahiko didn't have the energy to think about the next meal. It was already a blessing from heaven that the three orphans were still alive.

"Do you want to eat meat every day? Do you want to learn skills?"

"Yes."

Yahiko's eyes lit up. This was the life he had always dreamed of.

"Little girl, do you want to wear beautiful dresses and have lots of friends?"

Kawaki coaxed gently, bypassing Yahiko and asking Konan.

Konan timidly glanced at Yahiko and then softly replied.

"Yes."

"Red - haired kid, do you want to master your own power?"

Kawaki spoke vaguely, but Nagato was shocked. This Konoha Ninja had seen through his covered eyes.

The looks in Yahiko and Konan's eyes also became wary.

"You can protect your older brother and younger sister better when you master your own power."

Kawaki was confident that he had full control over the three kids.

He wants to become Master Kawaki in the world of Naruto.

There's no useless Ninjutsu, only useless Ninja. And I won't take in those without talent.

"I want to."

Nagato thought for a moment and said firmly.

"My name is Kawaki Hatake. My family is quite wealthy, and I'm looking for a few disciples."

"I wonder if you guys would like to come with me?"

After getting a positive response, Kawaki finally showed his fangs.

With a warm smile on his face, Tsunade thought he looked like an old, wily fox.

"Can you promise not to hurt us, and provide enough food and teach us skills?"

Yahiko summoned the courage to ask this question. He knew that with Kawaki's abilities, if he had bad intentions, they wouldn't have a chance to resist.

"Food and shelter are guaranteed. No deception, even for children and the elderly."

Kawaki didn't hesitate at all. These were the founders of the Akatsuki organization.

Investing in them now would be a huge profit.

Yahiko looked back at Nagato and Konan behind him. They nodded to each other.

"Lord Kawaki, we'll come with you."

"Don't call me 'Lord'. Call me 'Teacher'."

"This is your teacher's wife, Tsunade."

Kawaki boldly assumed the role of a teacher.

He put his hand on Tsunade's shoulder and pulled her over, getting a bit carried away.

"Don't be so touchy-feely."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and Orochimaru and found them pretending to look at the sky.

Then she pushed Kawaki away and sat down properly.

This left the three kids a bit dazed. The pace seemed a bit too quick.

"Teacher, Teacher's wife." x3

However, the three kids still called out these two titles in Kawaki's smiling face.

"My name is Yahiko."

"My name is Konan."

"My name is Nagato."

The three kids introduced themselves one by one.

"Hello."

Tsunade also responded generously with a smile on her fair face. She was already used to being called like this by Minato.

"Haha, good kids."

"These two are Orochimaru and Jiraiya."

In his happiness, Kawaki didn't forget to introduce Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Now the two of them stopped pretending to look at the sky. They still gave Kawaki face.

Finally, they smiled at the three kids and responded to their greetings.

The rain outside began to stop. Through the lingering clouds, a few rays of sunlight shone down from the sky.

"Feels good. Let's go."

Kawaki stood up and patted his butt, not planning to clean up the cooking utensils.

"Okay."

Tsunade and the other two didn't care about these things either. Being full was enough.

When the three of them walked out from under the bridge, the three kids were reluctant to leave the nice cooking utensils.

Each of them took something and washed it clean in the puddle.

Yahiko even carried the pot on his back.

Konan and Nagato also held bowls and spoons in their hands.

They quickly chased after Kawaki.

Kawaki looked back and saw this scene. Thinking of his own life of luxury since childhood, he felt sad for the three kids.

He turned around and walked up to Yahiko, reaching out to ruffle his short orange hair.

"You won't have to live a hard life anymore."

Yahiko looked up into Kawaki's eyes and showed a bright smile for the first time.

His eyes were innocent, full of hopes for the future.

From him, Kawaki felt the same qualities as those of Nawaki and Minato.

Surely these kids will become good friends.

"Come on, you have an elder martial brother. I'll introduce you to him."

Kawaki reached around the back of Yahiko's head and gave him a gentle push.

Yahiko staggered forward and walked in front of him.

At the sight of this, Nagato couldn't hold back his tears.

He missed his parents.

"Nagato, don't cry."

"Everything will be alright."

"Don't we have a teacher now?"

Konan, who was even younger than Nagato, stepped forward to comfort him.

Nagato wiped away his tears and nodded.

Basking in the sunlight, the seven of them set off on the road to Konoha.

Kawaki effortlessly nipped the Akatsuki organization in the bud, thinking that he was a great hero in the Ninja World.

He even burst out laughing when he thought about how proud he was.

Startled back to reality by Tsunade's look as if he were a fool, he forced a smile.

"I was thinking about what our future children would look like."

He whispered in Tsunade's ear, making her blush.

Who would our children with Kawaki-kun resemble?
