Nohara Rin did most of the work.
"It's troublesome."
Qing Si took them and examined them one by one.
The above shows the progress of some medical experiments.
"Lord Hokage, members of the former Akatsuki have arrived outside the village."
Uzuki Yugao knelt on one knee and appeared in the Hokage's office.
The Akatsuki organization is now divided into the Old Akatsuki organization and the New Akatsuki organization.
The old Akatsuki was the legitimate official force that managed the Land of Rain, while the new Akatsuki was a mercenary group that roamed the ninja world and posed a threat level of S.
Its members are mostly rogue ninja, so they have always been wanted by the authorities.
However, some ninja villages still secretly hire them.
"I see."
Kiyoshi nodded, indicating that Uzuki Yugao could leave.
The former Akatsuki organization is now considered an ally of Konoha, so it's normal for them to come back and visit.
Kiyoshi guessed that they were probably there because of Nagato's matter.
"Jiraiya's apprentice has gone astray."
Tsunade's bright red lips parted slightly, her voice clear and crisp.
Back then, Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain for three years specifically to teach Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, which infuriated the old man.
As a result, Nagato, who possessed the "Rinnegan," went astray and associated with a group of S-rank rogue ninjas, causing trouble everywhere in the ninja world.
"People are going to change."
Qingsi said.
Nagato already had a complicated family background, and the fact that his parents died in front of him inevitably twisted his mind, making him prone to extremes.
After all... even the psychological treatment in the Land of Fire was started by Sakura two years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The ninja world is still a chaotic and fragmented place like the Land of Rain, so where would anyone come from to mediate Nagato's mindset?
By the time Jiraiya arrived, the three of them had already formed their own beliefs.
"So you'll change too?"
Tsunade turned to look at Kiyoshi.
Her feelings were also complicated; her relationship with this apprentice was unclear.
Unfortunately, Tsunade was unable to extricate herself from this situation and could only drift along, taking things one step at a time.
The age difference between her and Kiyoshi was too great, and every time Tsunade thought about this, she could feel the heavy burden of worldly affairs.
"How could that be? Tsunade-sensei has always been the most beautiful woman in my heart..."
one.
The final qualifier remained only in Kiyoshi's mind.
To be honest, they each have their own charm and unique strengths, making it difficult to directly choose one as superior or inferior.
"Humph……"
Tsunade gave a soft hum.
"I have some things to attend to at Konoha Hospital, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Tsunade strode out.
The ninja shoes with open toes reveal Tsunade's freshly applied nail polish, giving them a clean, fresh look.
Paired with white and pink toes, it's undeniably alluring.
……
Konoha streets.
Xiao Nan stopped in her tracks, her purple eyes widening slightly beneath the brim of her rain hat.
After many years, she returned to this place, and Konoha looked to her like a piece of polished amber.
Sunlight is so common here.
She saw dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy of trees, and several children chasing the light and shadow as they ran past, the water droplets splashing from their feet edged with gold.
The steamer baskets of the roadside meatball shop were steaming with white vapor, and the sweet aroma wafted into her nose.
The aroma reminded her of a long time ago when Yahiko used his savings to buy a string of three-colored dumplings, which the three of them shared, licking the syrup off their fingertips.
Yahiko looked up and saw ninjas leaping over the rooftops, their figures as light as swallows, causing the children on the street to look up and cheer.
The noise here is so loud.
The vendors' cries, the ninjas' laughter, the children's play, and even the meows of cats perched on the walls—all these sounds intertwine to form a vibrant tapestry.
In the land of rain, the clearest sound is always the monotonous echo of rain hitting the tin roof.
"Konoha is indeed the most prosperous place."
This was Yahiko's first time setting foot in Konoha, and he couldn't help but think of his perpetually damp hometown.
In this village, even shadows can lie on the ground with a clear conscience, warmed by the sun.
"It is indeed very prosperous..."
Xiao Nan's voice was so soft it sounded like she was talking to herself.
Yahiko did not respond.
One day, he will plant such light on that land that is forever weeping.
"Hey, where are you from?"
Naruto ate his popsicle while watching the two of them.
He looked at the two men, who were dressed in strange black robes embroidered with auspicious black clouds.
"We are the peace-loving Akatsuki, and we hope to bring peace and the light of dawn to the ninja world without relying on extreme force."
Even though there was a child in front of him, Yahiko still gave a serious introduction.
"Without relying on force?"
This was the first time Naruto had ever heard of these things.
Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, he instinctively became interested in peace.
"So, big brother and big sister, are you heroes?"
"No, if we're talking about heroes, only your Fourth Hokage deserves the title."
Yahiko said earnestly.
Mr. Kiyoshi is a model of both strength and character, which Yahiko greatly admires.
"hero……"
Xiao Nan, standing to the side, had a strange expression on her face.
She simply couldn't understand what Kiyoshi had that made him worthy of being called a hero.
That guy was completely following the principle of exchanging benefits.
To gain something, you must give up something else from him.
Although it seems fair, Xiao Nan still feels conflicted, which is why it doesn't quite make sense.
"I, Naruto Uzumaki, will not only become a hero who surpasses all previous Hokage, but I will also become the strongest Fifth Hokage!"
Naruto excitedly raised his popsicle and said.
Chapter 413 Sasuke Awakens the Byakugan?
"It's always good to have dreams."
Yahiko looked at Naruto.
He always felt that Naruto's personality was somewhat like his own.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yahiko looked at Naruto's jet-black hair.
"You said you're Uzumaki...Naruto?"
"what happened?"
Naruto at this point doesn't know what the word "Uzumaki" means.
"I was just thinking of a friend."
Yahiko sighed.
Nagato, with his long, bright red hair and immense vitality, must have the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.
It seems that Naruto's black hair doesn't reflect much of the Uzumaki bloodline.
However, the two should still be considered to be of the same clan.
Who are your parents?
"What do you ask for this?"
Naruto suddenly became alert. His carefree attitude didn't mean he was stupid.
Nobody reveals their family situation right away.
"Sorry, sorry."
Yahiko realized his rudeness.
"This is my apology gift."
Yahiko reached into his pocket and pulled out a kunai.
This kunai has many scratches on its metal surface and feels much heavier than a regular kunai.
"This kunai has been with me to help many people in need, and some people call me a hero, but I know that I am not a real hero."
Yahiko paused, his tone tinged with reminiscence.
"Remember, only by gaining everyone's approval can you become a hero."
Yahiko handed the kunai to Naruto.
Naruto looked at the kunai in his hand, but before he could say anything, Yahiko and Konan had already gone far away and blended into the crowd.
"What a weirdo."
Naruto murmured.
However, he remembered the Akatsuki organization.
He also remembered the other person's black robe embroidered with red auspicious clouds.
Naruto thought it looked really cool and stylish, and wished he could get a set like that for himself.
laugh!
Naruto swung the kunai in the air and found it was a bit too heavy for him.
"It feels like several kunai were forged together."
Naruto wondered if this was a unique forging technique used by people from other villages.
"Hey, Naruto, what are you doing with that broken kunai?"
Sasuke stood with one hand in his pocket, looking cool.
"What do you know? This is called Akatsuki Kunai."
Naruto gave this kunai a name.
"You'll know once you weigh it up."
