Born with a great love for the Uchiha

Seeing this scene.

Xiao Nan also leaned in and hugged her two best friends.

The Akatsuki's "first three giants" clung tightly together like this.

Low sobs could be heard from time to time among the three.

Uchiha Gen stood awkwardly to the side, his toes twitching involuntarily.

No.

Brothers and sisters, there's no problem for you to rekindle your old friendship.

But couldn't you at least consider the occasion and the atmosphere?

There are other people standing here!

Why are you two hugging and crying?

Uchiha Gen was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or stay.

Fortunately, the original three leaders of Akatsuki were all capable of controlling their emotions.

It only took a short while.

The three of them let go of each other.

Yahiko's impure body showed little emotional change.

But Nagato and Konan's eyes were really red, as if they had been smeared with onions.

Just when Uchiha Gen thought the heartwarming scene was about to end,

Things were going as he expected, but they were also somewhat off track.

boom!

Yahiko raised his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, and threw a punch that landed squarely on Nagato's head.

Konan, who was standing right next to him, twitched her eyelids. She could even see Nagato's red hair flying up from the blow.

"Nagato, you idiot!"

Yahiko's voice was rough, and his previous warm attitude was gone.

"Have you forgotten Xiao's ideals and original aspirations?"

Based on Uchiha Gen's recent cramming-style indoctrination.

Yahiko has realized the difference between the current Akatsuki and the previous Akatsuki.

If the Akatsuki organization during Yahiko's era was a peaceful organization...

So, Akatsuki during the Pain era was an out-and-out violent military group!

They recruit a large number of rogue ninja, accept war mercenaries, and violently seize tailed beasts, even at the cost of destroying entire ninja villages...

Xiao has now strayed from her original path!

Nagato's head was buzzing after being punched in the head by Yahiko, but he didn't completely lose his senses.

"Yahiko, times have changed!"

Nagato shook his head and argued logically.

Xiao has never given up on the ideal of peace.

"But to achieve true peace, the world must experience pain!"

Why would you think that, Nagato?

Yahiko frowned deeply as he looked at Nagato, who suddenly seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"Our country has become what it is because it has suffered so much pain, and that is why 'Akatsuki' was born."

"How is your idea of ​​'making the world feel pain' any different from that of those great powers back then?"

"Your idea is far too dangerous, Nagato!"

"I am completely different from those ninjas from the great nations!"

A flush of color rose on Nagato's pale face; he looked extremely excited.

"They wage war for the sake of war! I, on the other hand, make the world suffer for the sake of peace!"

"Only by making the world feel real pain can suffering curb war and bring the world towards stability and peace!"

The argument between Yahiko and Nagato is getting more and more intense.

"You're too radical, Nagato!"

"You're too naive, Yahiko!"

You'll regret this!

"I--"

"Stop arguing!"

Konan intervened between the two arguing, supporting Yahiko's chest with her left hand and placing her right palm on Nagato's shoulder.

"Yahiko has been resurrected, and everyone has reunited. These two things have overlapped, and it should have been a time of blissful happiness, like a dream... Why are you all arguing?"

Yahiko and Nagato exchanged a glance across Konan.

Both of them wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

Having watched the show to his heart's content, Uchiha Gen spoke in a low, languid tone.

"It's simple. As long as Yahiko keeps 'dying,' there won't be any more arguments, right?"

The Fifth Hokage suddenly spoke.

This abruptly awakened the three founding members of the Akatsuki organization, who were completely absorbed in their own world.

This is not the Akatsuki's secret base.

This is the Land of Iron! It's the second battlefield where the Akatsuki attacked the Five Kage Summit!

The three founding members of Akatsuki, who had just been arguing, suddenly united and turned to face the Fifth Hokage almost simultaneously, all adopting defensive stances.

"Yahiko! Konan! Hide behind me!"

Seeing his two companions blocking his way, Nagato became furious and wished he could fly in front of them.

"That's the Fifth Hokage! Only the Rinnegan can defeat him!"

Konan ignored Nagato's words, standing firmly in front of him like a nail.

Yahiko, however, was more composed.

"I've already died once."

Yahiko stared intently at the Fifth Hokage opposite him with his black eyes, and spoke without turning his head.

"What difference would it make if I really died again?"

“You guys are like this…”

Gen Uchiha looked at the Akatsuki trio opposite him, who seemed to be about to "ignite" themselves, and sighed helplessly.

Why do you make it sound like I'm some kind of villain?

"It's clearly the Akatsuki organization that's been initiating trouble all along, isn't it?"

These words were spoken.

Nagato remained silent, and Konan was speechless.

Yahiko's heroic spirit of dying for his country was instantly weakened by 99%.

It seems, perhaps, maybe... the Fifth Hokage was right?

"It was Akatsuki that destroyed Takigakure, it was Akatsuki that plundered the Seven-Tails, and it was Akatsuki that attacked the Five Kage Summit..."

Gen Uchiha recounted the mistakes made by the Akatsuki organization, and launched into a tirade from his moral high ground.

"And what's wrong with me, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, wanting to deal with the Akatsuki?"

Yahiko glanced at his two companions beside him, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration.

This is the reality that Xiao has to face if he goes down the wrong path!

That being said.

Yahiko still chose to stand firmly by Nagato and Konan's side.

Uchiha Gen stared at the First Hokage of Akatsuki, whom he had personally resurrected.

"Yahiko, it was I who 'resurrected' you, wasn't it?"

"Correct."

Have I ever hurt you?

"No."

"Did Nagato kill you?"

"killed……"

"Do we have any conflicts?"

"No."

"Do you have any conflicts with Nagato?"

"some……"

"So you're still on Nagato's side?"

Gen Uchiha stared at Yahiko, whose voice was growing softer and softer, with a look of utter disbelief.

"What you should be doing now is to join forces with me and pull Nagato and Konan back on the right track after they've gone astray, right?"

"Or do you insist that I invite Lord Jiraiya over so he can give the three of you a good talking-to?"

Yahiko had nothing to say.
