Chapter 258 Akatsuki
"But."
Konan seemed to want to say something, but Yahiko, who had come to his senses, stopped her.
At this moment, Yahiko's expression returned to seriousness, and he seemed to finally act like a leader. He looked at Kaito and spoke with a tone of retention.
"Have you thought about it, Kaito?"
Looking at Yahiko's serious expression, Kaito said with a smile.
"There's nothing to think about. This is a decision I made before I joined Akatsuki. I told you about it back then. But I didn't expect that the time would be so short."
Looking at the Akatsuki members around him, Kaito still felt a little emotional.
"And I am different from you. I fundamentally do not believe that peace can be achieved through dialogue."
"If you, Yahiko, had the power of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama or even the Six Paths Sage, the five great nations would really sit down and listen to you. In the end, in the ninja world you still have to rely on fists to speak."
"The reason I joined is because people like you who have ideals and are pure are indeed worthy of admiration, so I want to witness it in person."
In fact, Kaito had said this to Yahiko more than once, but now that Kaito mentioned it again when he was about to leave, it seemed to sound even more harsh and profound.
only.
"You little brat! You're trying to be cool again!"
"That's right! Isn't it the uncles like us who should say this?"
"Everyone, come on, let's beat him up!"
Kaito doesn't know who started it, but the noisy chatter broke the heavy atmosphere.
Even Yahiko, who had originally had a serious expression on his face, put on a smile again and joined the team chasing Kaito.
Only Konan and Nagato were standing in the rain, watching the others playing in the field with a smile.
"It's a pity. Kaito is a very good partner."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has their own paths to take."
The two seemed to have just mentioned it casually, and then fell into calm again, as if the people playing in the rain were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
After saying goodbye to the rest of the Akatsuki organization, Kaito once again faced Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, the three founders of Akatsuki.
"Ah, I originally thought I would just say hello to Yahiko and leave quietly. But this guy made such a big noise with his shout."
"What are you talking about? Even if you have to leave, we are still partners. Of course we should say goodbye properly."
Seeing that Yahiko seemed to be about to start yelling again, Kaito immediately ended the topic with a headache.
He turned to Yahiko and said.
"Yahiko, remember what I told you before? Hanzo is not trustworthy. He is old, and his desire for power is more important than anything else. Hanzo will not allow any forces that are not under his control to exist in the Land of Rain."
Kaito pointed to his forehead and said.
"Although you have been wearing the Amegakure Village forehead protector, there will be a battle between the Akatsuki organization and Hanzo. Unless you are willing to disband and obey Hanzo, don't think about negotiating."
"Uh, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
At this moment, Yahiko, or most people from the Land of Rain, still have a certain degree of filter for Hanzo who was able to resist the invasion of the Land of Fire, Earth and Wind and maintain the independence of the Land of Rain.
However, Kaito reminded again.
"You don't want Konan or Nagato to die because of your naivety, do you?!"
"Yeah, I understand!"
This time Yahiko seemed to have really listened to him, and his expression no longer had a playful look.
Kaito then turned to look at Nagato.
"Be careful about what I told you before."
Nagato did not speak upon hearing this, but nodded solemnly.
Finally, Kaito looked at Konan with sadness in his eyes.
"Sister Konan, you will have to take care of these two idiots in the future. Thank you for your hard work."
"Ah! What are you talking about, little brat? Who's the idiot?!"
When Yahiko heard this, he immediately rushed forward with his teeth bared, but another idiot, Nagato, quickly caught him.
It's not like Yahiko hasn't fought with Kaito before. In a one-on-one situation, his own leader is really no match for this guy who is younger than them.
Seeing this, Kaito just shrugged his shoulders, ignoring Yahiko who was being tightly hugged by Nagato.
After saying bye to Konan, he turned and walked out of the village.
But at this moment, Yahiko from behind called him back.
"Hey, Kaito! We're about to say goodbye, do you still want to wear the mask?"
Kaito paused, but slowly turned around, reached out to take off the bone mask on his face, and gave the three people a brilliant smile that was very similar to Yahiko's.
"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am the Jōnin of the Kirigakure Village, Mirukawa Kaito. Nice to meet you all."
Kaito placed his right hand holding the mask in front of his chest, leaned forward slightly, and made a somewhat exaggerated greeting gesture, which made the three people smile.
Although the Kirigakure Village is one of the five great ninja villages, it is located overseas and very far away from the Amegakure Village. It is obviously more acceptable to Yahiko and the other two than the three ninja villages that have been invading the Land of Rain for many years.
Kaito put the mask back on his face, thought for a moment, and then spoke to remind the three people.
"If a person always wears a mask and dares not take it off in front of you, then you must not believe anything he says."
"Tsk, you're trying to be cool again!"
Yahiko looked at the departing figure of Kaito with a sour look, but Nagato, who was standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully.
As for Kaito himself, he walked to the edge of the village, then stopped and looked back in the direction of Yahiko and others from the Akatsuki organization.
"Don't die."
After saying that, Kaito chose to leave without any reluctance.
The entanglement in his heart was also let go.
"Huh~"
In fact, when Kaito first found Yahiko and others in the Land of Rain, he came for Nagato's Rinnegan.
By "Sketch", Kaito can easily get the pair of eyes that countless people dream of.
However, Kaito was not sure whether he could subdue or kill Nagato directly in the event of a rampage, and he was not sure whether Nagato's transplanted eyes could be recognized by "Sketch".
But later, after a period of contact, seeing the pure idealists of these three people, Kaito began to hesitate to do it.
He even considered killing Nagato, and then using the 'Revival Blessing' to revive him after the 'Sketch' was completed. Although it would be a waste of resurrection ability, even if he couldn't get the 'Rinnegan abilities' he should be able to get the 'Uzumaki clan's physical abilities'.
However, the new abilities obtained in the next two draws still made Kaito inclined to give up this somewhat risky idea.
'The system panel is as powerful as these local plug-ins. There is no need to give up my bottom line.'
Although his bottom line has always been quite flexible, there is no need to go against his conscience.
Thinking of this, Kaito touched the new emblem on his arm again.
"And with this, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with Obito."
