Hearing Mirai Uchiha's categorical tone, Konan frowned slightly: "Why are you so sure? How do you know if it will work if we don't try?"
"Perhaps you don't know, but there are countless ninjas who long for peace."
"We all firmly believe that if we open our hearts, an era where people trust each other will one day arrive."
"Violence is not the only means to solve problems."
Hearing Konan's point of view, Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "The barriers between people will never disappear. So-called mutual trust is nothing more than a self-deceiving lie."
Hearing that, Konan retorted resentfully: "Then, if it were you, what would you do?"
Mirai U-chiha said indifferently: "It's very simple, you just need to have enough power."
"Absurd!"
"It is precisely because everyone wants to achieve their goals through strength that there are so many wars."
Konan was a little angry.
When she saw Mirai Uchiha helping a common civilian from the Land of Rain, she thought she had found another like-minded friend.
But she didn't expect him to be this kind of guy, who only thought about doing things by force.
Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "That's because their power isn't enough."
"If you had the power to overcome everything, then all the decisions you made would be the right ones."
"By then, peace would be nothing more than a matter of a single word from me."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha's confident expression, Konan felt momentarily disoriented.
She wanted to refute him, but she couldn't find any reason to do so.
Seeing this, Mirai Uchiha waved his hand, not wanting to argue with Konan any further: "Leaving that aside for now, I can tell you right now: Konoha's high command will not meet with you, nor will they accept your ideas."
Seeing that Mirai Uchiha was leaving, Konan shouted, not giving up: "Even if you don't agree with our ideas, could you at least help us get an introduction?"
Hearing that, Mirai Uchiha turned around: "If you insist on trying, then go try your luck with the Sand Village."
"They started the war. If they are willing to negotiate for peace, I don't think Konoha will have any objections."
Seeing that Mirai Uchiha wouldn't budge, Konan felt a little helpless.
She originally thought she could contact Konoha's high command through Mirai Uchiha, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
She hadn't achieved her goal, and on top of that, she had been lectured for no reason. Konan said, a little resentfully: "Mirai Uchiha, why aren't you even willing to talk to us, to 'Akatsuki'?"
Hearing Konan's words, Mirai Uchiha stopped: "Since you mention it, then I will speak to you seriously."
"That 'Akatsuki' you speak of, is it an official organization of the Rain Village?"
"In other words... has 'Akatsuki' been recognized by Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Village?"
Faced with Mirai Uchiha's question, Konan's voice became a little insecure: "Lord Hanzo has always been our idol. We believe that one day he will see our efforts."
"That is to say... you have formed an organization on your own and, furthermore, have gone over Hanzo's head to contact other ninja villages on behalf of the Rain Village."
"So what?"
Konan asked, looking at Mirai Uchiha without understanding.
Mirai Uchiha shook his head, resigned.
How naive.
A group of children who had grown up in the midst of war, and yet, in certain aspects, were of an adorable purity.
No leader of a ninja village would ever cede their diplomatic authority.
If ninja villages like Konoha or the Sand really negotiated with "Akatsuki," what would Hanzo of the Salamander think?
Who was the true legitimate leader of the Rain Village?
Was a village going to have two leaders?
Acting in such a reckless manner, even without that troublemaker Danzo Shimura, it wasn't certain that Hanzo of the Salamander could tolerate them.
Mirai Uchiha looked at Konan and his eyes slowly transformed into the strange Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Remember my words: sooner or later you will pay the price for your naivety."
"These eyes of mine have already seen your end."
With that said, Mirai Uchiha threw a Flying Thunder God kunai to Konan: "If one day you face reality, you can come look for me in Konoha."
"It's okay to be wrong once, but don't keep making the same mistake."
Mirai Uchiha finished speaking and turned to leave.
That cunning old fox Madara Uchiha was still alive, and for the moment he didn't want to have too much contact with Konan and the others.
But he had already given them his warning. How they chose to act in the future was up to them.
————
Hidden Rain Village.
In a simple wooden house.
Seeing Konan return, Yahiko and Nagato let out a sigh of relief.
Konan walked to the living room table and, after flipping over the plaque with her name, spoke softly: "Yahiko, were you successful?"
Yahiko smiled and scratched his head: "Not yet. The Sand Village ninjas refused to meet with us."
"But I'll keep trying, I'm sure I'll get something."
Nagato, as always, remained silent, standing behind Yahiko, minimizing his presence as much as possible.
"And you, Konan?"
"Did you find anything out today?"
Hearing Yahiko's question, Konan's expression became a bit distant, and she unconsciously touched the kunai in her pocket.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Yahiko: "Yahiko, are our ideas really correct?"
"Can peace really be brought to the ninja world just through dialogue?"
Yahiko nodded confidently: "Of course!"
"Our organization has grown a lot. If we persevere, more and more like-minded people will join us."
The words Mirai Uchiha had said to her flashed in Konan's mind. She hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Yahiko, maybe we should try to contact Lord Hanzo first."
"Don't worry, Konan." Yahiko patted his chest. "I wrote a letter to Lord Hanzo a long time ago to request a visit, I just haven't received a reply."
"Lord Hanzo must be swamped with the current situation. We just have to do our job."
"Everything is for the Rain Village."
Yahiko finished speaking and then looked at Konan with curiosity: "Konan, you seem worried today, did something happen?"
"No, I just ran into Mirai Uchiha. I originally wanted to see if I could contact Konoha's high command through him, but he turned me down."
Hearing that, Yahiko comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry. I've heard that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are very arrogant, it's natural that they wouldn't want to help."
"Speaking of which... Mirai Uchiha has become very famous in the ninja world lately, but it's a pity he's so bloodthirsty. A guy like that could become an enemy of 'Akatsuki' in the future."
Hearing Yahiko's opinion, Konan finally decided not to tell him about the conversation she had with Mirai Uchiha.
She knew that Yahiko would never agree with a point of view like Mirai Uchiha's.
Insisting could only cause trouble.
Anyway, if she was more careful in the future, she should be able to avoid any danger in advance.
And...
Seeing the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes, Konan felt a little comforted.
Even Nagato, who possessed the eyes of the Sage, firmly supported Yahiko. Surely, the one who was wrong was Mirai Uchiha.
