"Is it over?"
In front of the control panel, Nagato looked at Konan, who had a somewhat surprised expression, and asked.
It took Konan a full dozen seconds to come back to her senses:… the defeat of the Paper Clone, was faster, and more decisive than she had imagined.
This was a good thing.
It proved that the new member's strength was strong.
But:… Konan, couldn't be happy at all.
"Mm: It's over, Nagato."
Konan said with a somewhat complicated expression.
A trace of doubt also flashed in Nagato's eyes.
"What's wrong: Konan."
"Is it lower than your expectations?"
Nagato asked.
This was within his expectations: Previously, his assessment of the girl's strength, was basically the same as Konan's.
It was still that same sentence.
An assassination inside Konoha, was always easier than forcibly destroying Konoha's defenses, and killing Danzo.
"No."
However, Konan shook her head, and her expression, was even more complicated.
"Flash Step, swordsmanship, illusion techniques:… Qingchuan's strength is sufficient."
"What I can be sure of, is that before Danzo died, he must have experienced enough pain."
As she said that, a trace of hatred flashed in Konan and Nagato's eyes.
The only thing they were worried about about Danzo's death, was that Danzo had died too easily.
His heartbeat stopped, and there was only a moment of pain, how could it compare to the pain they had felt?!
"Since that's the case:… then there's nothing to worry about."
Nagato seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said slowly.
"Let her start as a probationary member first:… I think Sasori seems to have the intention of partnering with Qingchuan, then:…"
"Wait a minute, Nagato!"
Konan suddenly interrupted Nagato's arrangement.
And her emotions:… seemed to be very agitated.
Nagato immediately fell silent, waiting for Konan to continue.
"Qingchuan: Is different from us."
Konan hesitated for a long time, and said her discovery in a complicated and solemn tone.
"Qingchuan's strength is indeed good, but:… her nature, may be too: Timid."
"In the battle just now, if it wasn't for my compulsion, she probably wouldn't have used her full strength all along."
"Do you understand what I mean, Nagato."
Konan said with an extremely serious expression.
And Nagato's eyes, also changed for a moment:…
He understood Konan's meaning, and he also understood what Konan was trying to express.
A timid nature, and powerful strength:…
What was the difference between this and him back then?
If it wasn't for his timidity, and his feeling of pain at the critical moment of life and death, and then his discovery of the pathological nature of this world:…
Yahiko, probably wouldn't have had to die.
Since then, Akatsuki had ushered in a new life.
And that former him: Had also disappeared.
He had taken on a new mission, carrying the will of God, and leading Akatsuki, to completely transform.
And Yahiko.
Represented Akatsuki's will, and became the strongest Tendō Pain among the Six Paths, and became Akatsuki's eternal leader.
Even if it was for revenge.
It was also a commemoration of the former Akatsuki:…
How many years had it been.
For revenge, how many days and nights had they endured?
They had finally accumulated a certain amount of power, and finally given the enemy the right amount of pain.
But the object of revenge, had suddenly been reduced by half.
And it was still a girl, who was so similar to his former self.
Nagato inexplicably sighed in his heart.
"I understand, Konan."
After a long time, Nagato's thoughts returned to normal.
He slowly closed his eyes, and hid all the coldness, and pain.
"Then let her stay by your side for now."
"This personality, needs to be tempered."
"Since she has joined Akatsuki, then:… she needs to transform as soon as possible."
That afternoon.
Qingchuan, who was taking "normal life" as his current goal, and using this to replace cultivation.
Was once again found by Konan.
And this time: It was her main body.
"Prepare yourself: There's a mission, that you need to complete alone."
"This is also, the organization's test for you, leave as soon as possible."
After Konan finished speaking, she left a scroll, and her figure turned into pieces of paper, and disappeared.
It was as if it was just an ordinary mission:… Konan was responsible for the notification, and Qingchuan was responsible for the execution.
But within Qingchuan's soul perception range.
Konan, hadn't gone far.
She chose to land in a secluded corner, and silently looked over here.
What did this spendthrift woman want to do?
Qingchuan's eyebrows raised, and then, he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Mm:… It was a mission that didn't seem that difficult.
An Amegakure squad, was preparing to go to a base on the Kumogakure border.
There weren't many people, and the base wasn't far from here.
The mission required that he resolve it on the spot, without leaving any survivors.
It didn't seem like there was anything unusual.
But for this reason, Qingchuan was puzzled in his heart:
He couldn't understand Konan's operation.
Was this: Secretly monitoring?
Or secretly protecting?
He didn't know.
It didn't matter.
He would just treat it as going out for a walk.
And by the way, collect some soul harvest.
Anyway, he would have to compete with the Sage of Six Paths for business sooner or later.
He wouldn't be lacking these 100 points.
He carried his katana, and spiritual power turned into a shield at the tip of the scabbard.
Raindrops fell, and were all blocked.
The Land of Rain was rainy, and he couldn't be careless.
On a small road on the border of the Land of Rain.
Several Amegakure members were running quickly.
At the same time, they were complaining about the weather in the Land of Rain.
"It's really troublesome… when will this damn weather end?"
The one who spoke was an Amegakure Chūnin, and was also the leader of this squad.
Although he had lived in the Land of Rain for a long time, this humid weather, really made it difficult for people to like.
But suddenly.
This Amegakure Chūnin suddenly stopped, and also made a gesture to disperse.
The group of members immediately dispersed.
And this Amegakure captain, stared intently at the figure in front of him.
It was a girl.
In a white robe, with a cute appearance and a smile on her face, even when carrying a katana, she had a harmless appearance.
It seemed to be infected by this girl's smile.
The corner of this Amegakure member's mouth also had a smile, he straightened his collar, and walked towards the girl in big strides.
When he got closer.
This Amegakure member's eyes lit up even more!
"Cute little girl."
"Are you… lost?"
"Hehe!"
