Chapter 76: Young Eagles Must Learn to Fly
Actually, Konan didn’t quite understand what Uehara meant.
As a delicate woman, Konan could hear the loneliness and sadness hidden in Uehara’s words. What’s wrong?
This feeling made it seem like no one could understand him.
Konan slowly walked to Uehara’s side, stroked his head, and hugged him. She said softly, “Naraku, you could tell me if you have any concerns in the future…”
“…”
Uehara thought Akatsuki’s uniform was not very good, and the zipper was a little ugly.
Konan inserted her fingers into his hair and combed gently, “You don’t have just to treat me as your Sensei… Naraku, I am also your family member, understand?”
“Yes, sensei.”
Uehara broke away from Konan’s arms.
Nagato, who was sitting next to him, covered his lips and coughed. He said softly, “Cough cough cough cough… Uehara, me too.”
Although Nagato doesn’t quite understand Konan’s actions, he probably understood that he should go along with Konan at this time. Nagato did regard Uehara as his junior after all.
Nagato knew that his life span would not be exceptionally long because of the burden of Rinnegan, the Six Pains, and the Gedo Mazo.
If Konan was left alone, how could he feel relieved?
Now that Konan accepted Uehara as her disciple, the well-behaved boy should be suitable to become the leader of the Akatsuki in the future.
No.
It was not just Akatsuki.
A light flashed in Nagato’s eyes. If they could successfully ambush Hanzo this time, they must carefully train Uehara to become the future leader of Amegakure.
Whether it was the current Akatsuki or the past Akatsuki…
It would be passed on to this little fellow, Uehara Naraku.
Uehara didn’t know what they were thinking, so he smiled helplessly, “Why do I feel that Nagato-sama and Konan-sensei are being weird? Let’s go and hide in that valley first, and wait for Hanzo!”
“…Okay.”
Konan fiddled with her blue hair.
They arrived at their destination very quickly.
The valley where the first generation of the Akatsukihad almost been wiped out.
The majestic rain that never seemed to end had not washed away the traces of battle in this valley, and there were still traces of the struggle that took place that year. The marks made onlookers a little depressed.
Nagato controlled Tendo Pain to push his wheelchair to the open space below the valley. A touch of grief gradually emerged in his expression, “Yahiko, you said that your dream was to become the God of this world… I’ll do it for you soon.”
Nagato would use Yahiko’s corpse to make Tendo Pain descend into the world in the name of God and kill Hanzo!
He would use God’s might to destroy all darkness in the world!
With the power of God, he would execute those who do not cherish peace!
Uehara was very confused.
At this depressing time, Uehara felt a bit sympathetic towards Nagato. Realizing other people’s dreams was true loyalty, but it was also a little sad.
One’s wishes should be realized by themselves!
Like the bookstall owner who sold a book to Uehara…
“This is where Yahiko committed suicide…”
Konan raised her head and stared at a damaged hill not far from them. With red eyes, she said, “I was held there by Hanzo, and I watched Yahiko fall into Nagato’s arms.”
It was clear that the two of them had been here once before, and when they came here again, they inevitably fell into a somber silence.
“Sensei…”
Uehara sighed faintly and finally decided to wake them up, “Regardless, we have too little manpower. If we fight fiercely here, Hanzo may escape…”
“That won’t be possible!”
Konan was the first to snap out of it. Her arms raised slightly, causing layers of small cracks to appear on the earth and rock suddenly!
Konan said indifferently, “I arranged 600 billion explosive tags here yesterday. Everything here was reconstructed by me using the Kami no Shisha no Jutsu (Paper Person of God Technique)…”
At this point, Konan clenched her fists, “At that point, neither Hanzo nor his trusted ninjas under his command will be able to leave alive!”
“That… Sensei…”
A little bit of cold sweat appeared on Uehara’s forehead, “If something goes wrong in the middle, won’t we be blown up too?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Tendo Pain pushed Nagato’s wheelchair over, “This battle would mainly be carried out by Tendo Pain (Deva Path), Gakido (Preta Path) and Ningendo(Human Path) with Shurado(Asura Path) as support. Jigokudo (Naraka Path) and Chikushodo (Animal Path) will use Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning technique) from a distance in case we need to retreat.”
In regards to attacking Hanzo, Nagato and Konan already had a plan.
Since this was a battle for revenge, Tendo Pain was naturally the main fighter. At the same time, Gakido, Ningendo, and Shurado were responsible for providing vision and support to Tendo Pain.
Nagato used Chikushodo and Jigokudo as full-time summoners to foolproof the plan. They were responsible for summoning Pain to a safe area and ensuring that they could retreat safely.
Whether this battle succeeds or not, they would blow up this place.
Nagato looked at Uehara and said earnestly, “Uehara… Konan and I are both worried that Hanzo will randomly attack when he is in danger. When the battle begins, you should leave the battlefield first, understand?”
“Uh…”
Uehara suddenly hesitated.
There were several missions regarding Hanzo in his system. Some of them were impossible to complete.
Such as getting the demigod to give him a title.
However, Uehara still wanted to try the mission of killing the demigod.
After all, the rewards given by the system have always been impossible to predict. He could get a hundred gold coins, but it was also possible for him to get a series of super high-level skill rewards like the previous two days. That was the real goal!
“I could be in charge of dealing with…”
Uehara looked at Konan and Nagato and whispered, “If something goes wrong, I could choose to fly at any time.”
“No.”
Konan rejected his proposal. She realized that her attitude was a little cold and adjusted her attitude, “Naraku, this was our revenge…”
Uehara looked a little aggrieved as if Konan’s words had hurt him, “But just now you said that we were family members… I can protect myself. I even managed to run away from tricky enemies like Uchiha Obito.”
Uehara talked about the current situation while smearing dirt on Obito.
Uchiha Obito had joined the must-kill list in Konan’s and Nagato’s minds. There was no chance of them cooperating in the future.
Konan refused to agree and tried to persuade him with all her heart, “It’s precisely because we were your family that we don’t want to see you hurt…”
“Let Uehara stay…”
Nagato interrupted Konan’s words and said solemnly, “Uehara will bear the burden of Akatsuki and Amegakure in the future. We can’t keep him under our wings forever. After all, the young eagles have to learn to fly by themselves.”
“…”
Uehara was confused.
Nagato’s second sentence was okay, but what was it about carrying the Akatsuki organization’s burden and the Amegakure? Was this what these two people wanted him to do?
“Okay.”
After hearing Nagato’s words, Konan nodded without regret, “Then let him stay. With our current strength, we can protect our family.”
“Yes…”
Nagato couldn’t help coughing. His grip on the wheelchair tightened little by little, “Now, we’ll make that guy, Hanzo, experience the pain we endured and also let the world feel the pain!”
