Before he could finish speaking, a shouting match suddenly broke out between Yahiko and the boy with goggles.

"Kakashi should spar with me first!" Yahiko shouted at the goggles-wearing boy opposite him.

"I should be the one sparring with Kakashi first!" the goggles-wearing boy shouted back defiantly.

Yahiko was so angry his hair almost stood on end: "Who do you think you are?! I was here first!"

The boy with goggles blushed with embarrassment: "Nonsense! I've known Kakashi for ages! Of course you should compete with me first!"

For a moment, the two boys argued fiercely, neither willing to give in, as if they were vying to be the first to spar with Kakashi.

……

in the audience.

Jiraiya, Konan, and Obito sat there, each with a different expression.

When Obito saw himself and Yahiko arguing on the screen over who should fight Kakashi, he was speechless and facepalmed.

For the first time, he realized that he had been a bit stupid as a child.

What's the point of arguing about this? Are you just going to fight over who gets beaten up?

Obito pursed his lips speechlessly, muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Jiraiya chuckled and shook his head, then turned to Konan and teased, "Think about it carefully, Konan, you two and those three brats under Minato do seem to get along quite well!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, gave a cold "humph," and turned her face away as if she hadn't heard.

Jiraiya's enthusiasm was met with a cold shoulder, and his smile froze.

He awkwardly touched his messy white hair, chuckled twice, and then stopped talking, no longer wanting to embarrass himself.

……

on the screen.

Seeing that the conflict outside wasn't the scene she had feared, Nagato breathed a sigh of relief and quietly relaxed her tense shoulders.

It seemed like he was worrying too much.

Just then, a silvery laugh suddenly came from not far in front of them.

Nagato looked up.

Xiao Nan was amused by something and covered her mouth, giggling.

A rare hint of girlish liveliness appeared on her pretty face as she smiled and nudged the short-haired girl next to her.

The two girls immediately burst into laughter, pushing and shoving each other in a playful commotion.

Hearing Konan's hearty laughter, Nagato was momentarily stunned.

Whether in reality or in a dream, this was the first time he had ever seen Xiao Nan smile so happily.

[Ding! Nagato's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!!]

He was almost mesmerized by what he saw.

Xiao Nan, who always had a cold and calm demeanor, was now smiling with her eyes crinkling, as if she had let down all her defenses.

What are they laughing at?

Nagato, intrigued, couldn't help but lean closer and ask, "What are you talking about?"

"Ah!" The two girls were startled by his voice and cried out in surprise, turning their heads sharply.

With the help of the soft morning light, Nagato was able to see the short-haired girl's appearance clearly.

The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate and lovely features. She had short, pretty brown hair that framed her face, with several faint purple horizontal lines on each cheek, and a pair of clear, bright brown eyes.

At this moment, like Xiao Nan, her fair face was flushed with two blushes.

When the short-haired girl saw that the person who came was Nagato, she puffed out her cheeks in embarrassment and anger, glared at him and said, "How could you eavesdrop on us girls' conversations!"

This accusatory question startled Nagato, who quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, I just came out and didn't hear anything."

The short-haired girl looked at the red-haired youth in front of her with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Xiao Nan didn't seem to care. She waved her hand and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, Rin. Nagato will be fine! He's usually very quiet and won't say anything out of line."

Nagato: "???"

When Konan suddenly vouched for him and even commented on his "quiet" personality, Nagato was speechless and could only show a wry smile.

Konan patted the empty seat next to her and greeted her with a smile, "Nagato, come on, sit here!"

Nagato scratched his head, walked over with a blank look, and obediently sat down next to her.

After Nagato was seated, Konan lowered her voice and explained to him, "Yahiko saw Kakashi doing his morning exercises when he got up this morning, and he insisted that he wanted to spar with him again. Who knew that Obito would also come and join in the fun, insisting that he should spar with Kakashi first, so the two of them started arguing."

Upon hearing this, Nagato couldn't help but roll her eyes, revealing an expression that was both funny and exasperating.

This really sounds like something Yahiko would do!

He had initially thought that Yahiko had clashed with the Konoha ninjas, but it turned out he had worried for nothing.

Rin stuck out her tongue a little shyly and said softly, "I'm so sorry, our comrade Obito is a bit of a show-off..."

Konan waved her hand dismissively and laughed, "It's alright, Yahiko is the same, all he does is find people to challenge!"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, both showing expressions of helplessness and amusement.

Seeing this, Nagato couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

However, just as they were talking, a steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the camp.

A figure strode in.

A strange ninja wearing a bird-beak mask and a gray tactical vest strode in.

He walked quickly, heading straight towards the largest tent in the center of the camp.

That was the command tent where Sakumo Hatake was stationed.

The man walked straight ahead without looking to the side, but before he even reached the tent entrance, he was blocked by two figures standing in the middle of the open space.

It turned out that Yahiko and Obito had been facing off in front of the tent, and neither of them had noticed the appearance of this masked ninja, who was now blocking their way.

Nagato's gaze fell on the newcomer, and his pupils suddenly contracted. This outfit...

……

in the audience.

Jiraiya stared at the screen, frowned, and touched his chin, muttering to himself, "The style of this mask... is it from 'Root'?"

A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, then he added thoughtfully, "Danzo's subordinate?"

What connection could Danzo possibly have with Sakumo Hatake?

Jiraiya muttered to himself, clearly puzzled by this sudden turn of events.

However, Jiraiya did not notice that Konan's expression had changed drastically after the masked ninja appeared beside him.

Xiao Nan's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and an uncontrollable hatred and anger surged between her brows.

She stared intently at the familiar figure on the screen, her slender body trembling slightly.

This outfit...

She will never mistake this outfit for her own and will never forget it!

Among the murderers who killed Yahiko, besides Hanzo and his Rain Ninja, another group were Konoha ninjas wearing this kind of clothing and mask!

Over the years, these nightmarish memories have tormented her constantly.

Xiao Nan bit her lower lip hard, her breathing becoming disordered due to anger.

Xiao Nan will never forget the despair and pain of that moment!

……

on the screen.

Yahiko and Obito also noticed the masked man who had suddenly barged in, and they couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

The two quickly moved aside.

Obito scratched his head sheepishly, a look of embarrassment on his face, and was about to apologize, "I-I'm sorry, we'll just—"

Before he could finish speaking, the masked ninja impatiently snorted and shrieked, "Hmph, get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, both Yahiko and Obito frowned, and the smiles on their faces vanished instantly.

Kakashi also abandoned his lazy posture, stood up straight, and his previous languid expression vanished, replaced by a tense demeanor.

The Konoha ninjas who were watching the spectacle also stopped smiling, and their expressions turned ugly.

"Damn it, Danzo's men are causing trouble again!"

"Hmph, do they really think our camp is their home..."

The originally relaxed atmosphere at the camp suddenly became stagnant and oppressive.

The ninja glanced around and let out a disdainful sneer: "Is this the level of ninjas under that piece of trash Hatake Sakumo?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of the people present turned ashen.

The masked ninja ignored everyone's reactions and continued his tirade: "Bring out that piece of trash, Hatake Sakumo! Tell him that Lord Danzo has important instructions!"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko was even more furious, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"Hey! Who are you calling trash?!"

Sakumo Shiraha was Yahiko's most revered hero and idol, and had personally taught him swordsmanship, making him practically Yahiko's mentor.

How could Yahiko tolerate hearing someone publicly insult his mentor?!

The masked ninja was slightly taken aback when he saw that someone dared to stand up and confront him. He then turned his gaze to the furious Yahiko and looked him up and down.

Seeing that Yahiko was young and didn't even have a headband, his contempt intensified.
