The Master of Konoha's Legacy

[Chapter 407. Just to make an impression, I was kicked out]

three days later.

The gloomy sky began to drizzle again, neither too fast nor too slow, neither too sparse nor too dense, just a light, intermittent rain, like unraveling silk threads.

The rain wove a fine, thin net, enveloping the surrounding mountains like smoke and mist.

Inside the same cave, Yahiko thoughtfully handed a towel to Konan, who had just returned, and asked:

"How many members have gathered in the organization?"

Xiao Nan, who had just taken the towel, smiled slightly and said:

"That's pretty much it, after all, the Land of Rain is only so big."

They are now all crammed into the few towns closest to here.

However, from what I observed, everyone seemed quite excited.

Yahiko nodded, pacing back and forth inside the cave, muttering to himself:

"Two more days, it feels like there's still a long time to go."

Why not schedule it for today?

Seeing Yahiko's expression, Konan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, offering words of comfort:

"Perhaps Lord Hanzo is too busy with other matters."

Just then, Nagato rushed in from outside in a great hurry.

"Yahiko, two strange people have come to the foot of the mountain and say they want to join our organization."

Yahiko paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Don't be alarmed. From now on, we will be an official organization, and more and more people will want to join us."

Nagato shook his head repeatedly, his brows furrowing slightly as he said:

"No, they looked a bit strange, which gave me a sense of fear."

And how did they know we were here?

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep and ethereal sound came from outside the cave.

"What's there to be afraid of? We are all peace-loving people, you should feel close to us."

With a righteous heart, one is utterly fearless.

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the cave entrance.

Both were dressed in black robes; one had a black and white face, while the other wore a swirling mask.

It was Zetsu and Uchiha Tonan's instant clones who had come from Kirigakure.

Seeing this, Nagato's expression turned serious, and he shouted:

"Didn't I tell you to wait at the foot of the mountain?"

The instant clone snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"Such an imposing official's arrogance."

I never expected the so-called Akatsuki organization to be so insignificant, with such a grand air about them.

It seems we've come to the wrong place.

"Let's go."

"and many more."

Just as the two turned around, Yahiko quickly called them back, then bowed apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, we were truly rude this time."

I wonder how you two found us.

The instant clone shrugged slightly and said calmly:

"Finding someone isn't that difficult. Didn't this lady just say that the Land of Rain is such a small place?"

Konan looked at the two strange people in front of her with suspicion and couldn't help but say, "You two don't look like ninjas from the Land of Rain."

The clone nodded and said leisurely:

"We are wandering ninjas who carry darkness on our backs and search for light everywhere."

I recently heard that an organization called Akatsuki has appeared in the Land of Rain, aiming to maintain peace, so the two of us came to check it out.

For some reason, Nagato seemed to have a very bad impression of the two of them, and with a wary look on his face, he said in a deep voice:

"If you want to join our organization, shouldn't you show your true face?"

The instant clone chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Sometimes, being too curious is not a good thing."

My true colors will only bring you misfortune and trouble.

However, it seems that you won't accept us if I don't take off my mask.

It's okay, it just means we came at the wrong time.

However, before I came here, I heard that you were going to have peace talks with Hanzo.

As someone who shares the same views, I'd like to offer you some well-intentioned advice.

Individual differences exist between people, including factors such as strength, ability, luck, talent, temperament, and birth.

These factors inevitably mean that a small minority will stand at the top and enjoy more benefits.

The so-called peace is actually an order established by this small group of people in order to maintain their interests.

The disorder is because a strong person has not yet emerged.

They gather a group of weaklings and then try to achieve peace through their words.

That's really naive.

Upon hearing this, both Nagato and Konan showed expressions of anger.

But Yahiko, who was naturally carefree, didn't seem to notice anything amiss. Instead, he said in a serious tone:

"I understand what you mean."

You mean our negotiations will fail?

But I want to tell you that we will definitely succeed.

Because Lord Hanzo will stand on the side of peace.

"Isn't a demigod considered a strong being?"

The clone chuckled and immediately unleashed its divine power.

A dark spatial vortex appeared, quickly enveloping the instant clone and Zetsu within it.

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect."

Of course, I also wish you success.

As long as it contributes to peace.

After the spatial vortex disappeared, the two figures also vanished without a trace.

The three people were left speechless.

Yahiko raised his finger, pointed to the spot where the two had disappeared, and said with a bewildered expression:

"What was that just now?"

Nagato thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"It seems to be the legendary space-time ninjutsu."

Yahiko nodded, then stood there, lost in thought.

After a long while, Konan saw that Yahiko was still standing there in a daze, and assumed that Yahiko was worried about the two strange people, so she went up to comfort him:

"Yahiko, don't worry. Space-time ninjutsu is rare, but that doesn't mean we can't handle it."

Besides, judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be going against us.

Yahiko frowned, shook his head slightly, and said softly:

"Don't you think he looks a lot like the masked man who instigated the Nine-Tails' rampage and killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife, as described in the rumors?"

The same vortex mask, the same space-time ninjutsu.

Nagato's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice:

"So it was that evil guy. No wonder I felt something was off about those two."

What should we do now? It seems the organization is being watched.

Even Konoha couldn't do anything about him.

Seeing the worried look on Nagato's face, Yahiko immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "No, there is someone who can suppress him."

Nagato thought about it for a moment, and a gentle smiling face appeared in her mind, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

"You mean... Lord Tunan."

Yahiko nodded heavily and said:

"At that time, we will tell Lord Tunan this information."

I don't believe such an evil person would simply want to join our organization.

On the other side, the instant clone had already appeared with Zetsu at the edge of a distant cliff.

Bai Jue covered his forehead with a troubled expression and said, "Lord Madara, have we been kicked out?"

The clone gazed at the distant mountain silhouettes, faintly visible through the rain, and said with a glint in its eyes:

"Don't rush. When their hopes are dashed and they are in dire straits, they will naturally take us in."

It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade.
