Three days later, in the base of the Hidden Rain Village,
Ritsu was practicing fighting with Yūgao Uzuki on the rooftop.
"Konoha Style·Ranbu!" Yūgao Uzuki swooped down with a knife in hand and slashed at Ritsu's head.
Looking at the incoming knife, Ritsu dodged it easily by just slightly turning sideways, then grabbed the back of Yūgao Uzuki's neck and threw her out.
Yūgao Uzuki was thrown out and landed steadily after a few backflips, then sighed in disappointment, "It still doesn't work. My knife still can't touch you. Forget it, I give up."
Konan, who was watching the fight nearby, smiled and said, "Yūgao, there is no need to give up. Your swordsmanship is already very strong compared to others, but Ritsu is stronger, so you can't defeat him."
"I know, but thank you for comforting me," Yūgao Uzuki walked up to Konan, picked up the water cup on the ground, and drank water.
Konan lowered her voice and asked, "Aren't you going to tell Ritsu about your pregnancy? How long are you going to keep it a secret?"
Yūgao Uzuki was stunned, looked at Ritsu, and saw that Ritsu was not paying attention to this side, so she answered in a low voice, "I don't know. I just don't know how to start now, and I'm worried about his reaction after he finds out."
"Do you think he will be excited when he finds out?" Konan asked.
"It's okay to be just excited, but the problem is that I'm afraid he won't want the child," Yūgao Uzuki frowned. "I'm just his prisoner of war. If a prisoner of war gets pregnant, he probably won't be able to accept it."
"That's true," Konan nodded in agreement. "How about I talk to him and knock on his side to see his reaction?"
"This…" Yūgao Uzuki hesitated for a while and then nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's nothing," Konan smiled and then walked over to Ritsu.
Ritsu was sitting on the edge of the rooftop enjoying the breeze and glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
Konan also sat down beside him, "Let me ask you something. Don't take it personally. If, I mean if, if you had a child, what would you do?"
"What?" Ritsu looked at her in surprise, "Why are you asking me such a strange question?"
"I'm just asking casually," Konan said calmly. "I want to know if people like you have ever thought about having your own offspring. Is this question difficult to answer?"
"No," Ritsu thought about it carefully and said, "If I have a child, I will train them to be stronger than me and teach them to kill and fight from a young age, regardless of whether they are a boy or a girl."
Konan looked at Ritsu in surprise and said, "You actually want your child to become the same as you?"
"What's wrong with that?" Ritsu looked at the forest in the distance and said, "In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if you want to live well, you have to be stronger than others. The weak can't even have a stable life. When war comes, you can't protect your family and can only pray for others to protect you. Don't you think this kind of life is cowardly?"
"Well…" Konan was speechless. "Forget it. Let me continue to ask. If one of the three female ninjas you captured becomes pregnant, what are you going to do?"
"Them?" Ritsu looked at Mei Terumi strangely, "You seem a little weird. What, do you want to be a mother? I can help you. I'm very energetic now."
Konan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, her face slightly reddened, and she cursed, "I didn't mean that! I'm just curious! Besides, you already have three female ninjas. Why are you still thinking about me!"
Ritsu was about to speak when White Zetsu emerged half of his body from the ground next to them, "You two, don't talk for now. A guest has come to Amegakure."
"Guests? Who?" Ritsu asked.
"A ninja from Konoha," White Zetsu glanced at Konan meaningfully, "Jiraiya, one of the Sannin from Konoha."
With a whoosh, Konan immediately stood up, "Why is he here?"
"They should be here to gather intelligence about our organization, so do we need to deal with them?" White Zetsu asked.
"This…" Konan hesitated.
After five minutes, Konan said to Ritsu, "Although I know this is a bit abrupt, can I let you do it?"
"Oh? Why?" Ritsu asked. Konan sighed with mixed feelings, "To be honest, Jiraiya was once our teacher and saved our lives. Although we have parted ways now, we don't want to attack our own master. I think Pain must have the same idea."
"Sure," Ritsu nodded, "But if I go, Jiraiya will definitely die. Is that okay?"
Konan was silent for a moment and shook her head, "It doesn't matter. Since we are no longer companions, there is no need to show mercy."
"Okay, wait for my news," Ritsu said and jumped straight down from the rooftop.
