Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Seeing Konan's bewildered expression, Uchiha Sora's lips twitched. Why did he just blurt out the "all-purpose pickup line" from his past life?

He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and said seriously, "Well, it's intuition."

I can't exactly tell her that I know the personalities of everyone in the Akatsuki organization, can I?

Konan felt she couldn't keep up with Uchiha Sora's mind; white paper fluttered, and a paper shuriken was pressed against the latter's neck.

"Since you discovered me so early, why didn't you take any action?"

The thin white paper in her hands was like steel as thin as a feather. If she wanted, she could easily cut through steel with the white paper. This was her unique ninjutsu, Paper Release.

Uchiha Sora raised both hands. "I just wanted to see what you were planning to do, but it's been so long and you haven't done anything. I can't stand having someone watching me all the time."

Konan stared directly at Uchiha Sora, whose obsidian-like eyes were filled with sincerity. Her heart skipped a beat, and she put down her paper shuriken, speaking frankly.

"I'm here to assassinate you."

Uchiha Sora raised an eyebrow. Assassination? After a moment of contemplation, he understood. The Akatsuki organization was still in its early stages of development, dedicated to peace in the ninja world. To achieve this ambitious goal, money was naturally essential.

"How much money would I get from killing you?"

"Fifteen million."

"Wow, I'm that valuable." Uchiha Sora smacked his lips, somewhat tempted.

If he knew that this was actually only half the price, he probably would have run to Danzo and confessed to him without hesitation.

"Why didn't you make a move at the hospital?" Uchiha Sora asked casually.

The two are getting along rather strangely now. Konan came here to kill Uchiha Sora, but the two are sitting on the same bench like old friends who have known each other for many years.

Xiao Nan felt a strange unease. She pursed her lips, feeling that this was somewhat tarnishing the reputation of her Akatsuki organization. She pretended to be fierce and said, "What do you care when I make my move? Believe me or not, I'll kill you right now."

Unfortunately, Yahiko was fine at this time, Konan had not yet turned evil, and she was the only girl among the trio, so her desire to kill was not obvious. Therefore, her feigned ferocity did not frighten Uchiha Sora, but rather made him feel somewhat amused.

However, she still had to maintain a certain attitude, otherwise Xiao Nan would look very awkward.

"I surrender, I surrender," he said weakly.

Konan's initial fierce demeanor vanished instantly; she was angry, pursed her lips, and remained silent, glaring resentfully at Uchiha Sora.

If Uchiha Sora were a ruthless killer, she would have killed him without hesitation while she was in the hospital. But Uchiha Sora wasn't, especially after witnessing her interactions with Kurenai and the others these past few days. It was beautiful, so much like her past relationships with Nagato and Yahiko.

This made it even harder for her to do it.

"Hey. What's your name?" Uchiha asked. Of course he knew Konan, but this was the first time he had met her, so it would be strange to reveal her name directly.

Xiao Nan glanced at him, and inexplicably sensed that this little brat was a bit displeased.

What does "feeding" mean? It's clearly just a little kid talking.

With a stern face, she grabbed Uchiha Sora's cheek and narrowed her eyes slightly. "You have to call me 'older sister,' and you have to be afraid of me. I'm here to assassinate you; don't I have any dignity?"

However, she still revealed her name.

"Konan, who ordered you to assassinate me?" Uchiha Sora asked curiously.

He didn't think he had done anything outrageous, so why would someone offer such a large bounty to kill him?

If you have extra money, could you give it to him? You know, rice is so expensive these days, and he's practically penniless.

"Go away, go away! I'm a person of principle. How could I possibly reveal my employer's information to you?" Xiao Nan rolled her eyes.

"Tch, principles? You've been sitting here chatting with me, and you're still talking about principles..." he muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I was just saying, Konan, your paper magic is really convenient."

Paper Release? Konan raised her hand, watching her fingers flutter like paper scraps. Her thoughts drifted. She learned Paper Release one day when she discovered her unparalleled talent for manipulating white paper with chakra. Through Paper Release, her strength rapidly increased, and she soon possessed the strength of a Jonin. It was also thanks to Paper Release that she was able to secure a place in the Akatsuki organization.

"By the way, Konan, do you know how to draw explosive tags?" Uchiha Sora suddenly asked.

Like I said, he'd been eyeing rich women's money for a long time, and now, the ninja's future richest woman was right beside him. If he could build a connection, he'd never have to worry about money again.

Young men don't know the value of rich women and mistake a little girl for a treasure; Uchiha Sora would never make such a low-level mistake.

"Explosive tags?"

"Yeah, look, you're so good at using paper techniques, drawing explosive tags should be a piece of cake for you too," Uchiha Sora said matter-of-factly.

This statement stunned Xiao Nan. The Akatsuki organization was really short of money. If she really had the talent to draw explosive tags, then she could indeed start from this aspect. After all, the profit of explosive tags could be hundreds or thousands of times greater.

"I'll give it a try," she said.

Uchiha Sora was taken aback. So this meant that Konan wasn't the future rich woman who would have 600 billion explosive tags yet?

Very quickly, in just a short while, he lost interest in Xiao Nan.

Pshaw, what use are you if you're not a rich woman?

Konan had no idea what Uchiha Sora was thinking, but she was quite grateful to Uchiha Sora. If she could really draw the explosive tags, the Akatsuki's financial pressure would be relieved.

Looking at the young man before her, a thought struck her. After observing him for a long time, she realized that Uchiha Sora was not one to slaughter innocent people, so she had given up the idea of ​​assassinating him.

Now, she found the boy surprisingly to her liking, and inexplicably, she blurted out...

"Would you like to join us?"

Uchiha Sora: ?

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem.

Hey sis, what were you thinking, inviting ninjas from other countries to join you? See that pool table handle on my back? If Fugaku knew you were trying to kidnap me, he'd probably take the Uchiha clan to the Akatsuki for a chat.

Seeing the look in Uchiha Sora's eyes, Konan was secretly troubled, wondering how to express her feelings. She knew that Uchiha Sora could not possibly join the Akatsuki, so she pursed her lips.

"I just think you're a good fit for our Akatsuki organization."

Uchiha Sora smiled but didn't reply, his eyes somewhat deep.

Suitable? Girl, you're mistaken.

The Akatsuki's grand ambition is to maintain peace in the ninja world.

His grand ambition was to unify the ninja world, and in retrospect, this prevented war.

However, judging from the process, what he was trying to do was to stop killing with killing! To stop war with war!

Konan misjudged Uchiha Sora. This assassination mission perfectly aligned with the Akatsuki's principles; it was a mission with no downsides whatsoever.

Although Uchiha Sora appears relaxed now, he is actually ready to fight to the death with his Tengu.

This day was Konan's best chance to kill Uchiha Sora, but she missed it; it was her only chance.
