No, where does this portal come from?

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

The sudden embrace made Nagato feel a little uncomfortable.

After being stunned for a moment, he hugged Xiaonan.

Of course, it was just a hug.

There was no love in their embrace, and they had no thoughts about each other.

The relationship between the two is not romantic.

Compared to this taciturn and withdrawn 'brother', Konan prefers Yahiko, while Nagato regards Konan as his sister, and Konan also regards him as her brother.

Although there is a certain degree of affection between Nagato and Konan, this affection is mainly based on their shared experiences and their longing for Yahiko after his death.

As for love...

The two of them had absolutely none.

In the quiet tree hole.

After an unknown amount of time, Konan slowly let go of Nagato.

Looking up and down at Nagato's body that had returned to normal, Konan's eyes were filled with joy that was beyond words.

"Nagato, your body..."

"It's better now." Nagato nodded. "Or rather, it's never been better."

"Was it that man who did it?" Xiaonan asked.

Nagato nodded: "The price is a mission."

Hearing that it was just a single task, Xiaonan was obviously relieved.

It's just a single mission. Even if it's to assassinate any Kage, Nagato and the Akatsuki organization should have no pressure now.

Thinking of this, Xiaonan comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a task."

"But he wants us to fight aliens."

"……what?"

"You heard it right, we're going to fight aliens." Nagato repeated.

Hearing this, Xiaonan fell silent: "..."

No, are the missions that Akatsuki accepts so advanced now?

Have you all started accepting 'going abroad' missions?

"Are you sure this is okay?"

"... Maybe... it's okay?"

Nagato wasn't actually sure whether they were related or not.

After all, the other party paid the fee very happily, so I can't break the promise.

Hearing Nagato's uncertain words, Konan let out a long sigh.

In this case, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Do we need to notify the other members of Akatsuki?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when the time comes."

"Compared to this, are you okay?" Nagato looked at Konan with concern.

"Me? He didn't do anything to me, he just acted very annoying."

"Until two minutes ago, the man seemed to have received some signal, let me go and disappeared." Konan told Nagato what had just happened.

When Nagato heard what Konan said, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Did it just disappear two minutes ago?

If I came here after disappearing, the time would be a little off...

So the one who came here just now was a clone?

How could a clone be so powerful?

He could easily suppress himself and cut through an entire forest with a flick of his finger.

I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse for such a person to find the Akatsuki organization...

The original goal of Akatsuki was to recruit the nine tailed beasts for their own use in order to intimidate the five major countries.

Now that such a person has appeared to disrupt the situation, Nagato is unable to see the future path clearly.

I hope it will develop in a good direction.

Nagato prayed silently in his heart.

"Xiao Nan, now that my body has returned to normal, there's no need to hide anymore."

"Let's gather the members of Akatsuki to come to Rain Village." Nagato, who had recovered his health, spoke slowly.

Konan didn't object when she heard this and quietly followed Nagato's arrangements.

From the beginning to the end, she has been the deputy of this team.

Whether it was when Yahiko was still alive or now.

Xiaonan can handle these things easily.

Not long after, the Akatsuki members wandering around received the message of gathering in Rain Village at the same time.

Orochimaru, who was doing scientific research in a dark corner, showed a flash of displeasure on his face after receiving the message from 'Pein'.

Why did you come at this time, instead of earlier?

At this time, Orochimaru was fascinated by Itachi's Sharingan and was thinking about how to get a Sharingan. But now he was forced to rush to Rain Village due to a transfer order from Pain.

The undead duo who were out taking orders looked at each other after receiving the news. Feiduan, who still wanted to torture the enemy, stopped toying with his target and licked the blood on the bloody March sickle with his tongue.

He drew the word "ritual" on the ground with his toes, and slowly stood inside the ritual.

Accompanied by blood entering the mouth.

A unique fishy smell of blood spread throughout the mouth.

And the pervert Feiduan not only did not feel disgusted, but the smile on his face became even more perverted.

His skin color gradually darkened, and eventually a skull mark appeared on the entire surface of his skin.

Curse: Death by blood!

"Hehe~~"

Hidan let out a few cold laughs from his throat. He looked at the Water Country Jonin in front of him who was in a defensive posture, and his expression became particularly playful: "If I wasn't in a hurry, I would really like to play with you for a while."

"But unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black rod from the left hem of his clothes.

Then he threw it.

The stick suddenly grew longer and turned into a pitch-black spear.

The senior ninja looked at the spear that was flashing with cold light, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Water escape! Water dragon bullet!"

Suddenly, a water dragon appeared out of nowhere and suddenly bit towards Fei Duan!

Facing the water dragon's bite, Feiduan did not dodge, but stood there with a look of enjoyment on his face.

--puff!

The water dragon opened its huge mouth and caught Hidan in its mouth.

The sharp water teeth almost bit Hidan in half.

But even so, Feiduan remained motionless, instead staring at the Jonin with burning eyes.

The senior ninja's chest seemed to be squeezed by a heavy object, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Looking closely, the damage the man endured was exactly the same as the damage Feidan had just suffered.

"Cough!" A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The jonin fell to the ground and struggled, but he still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Looking up with difficulty.

But Feiduan slowly raised his arm and slowly pressed the black spear against his chest.

Then...

Slowly pierce the heart.

Although it wasn't stabbed in my body, the pain was exactly the same.

The pain of the black spear piercing his flesh made the jonin roll over and over, while Hidan still looked like he was enjoying it.

It's like doing something indescribable.

It was not until the spear pierced Hidan's heart and exited from his back that the senior ninja kicked his legs and stopped moving.

Seeing that he was motionless, Feiduan pulled out the black spear from his chest with some reluctance.

This scene made the old man Kakuzu feel nauseous.

He didn't feel so disgusted when he failed to assassinate the first Hokage, but now he was disgusted by the young man in front of him.

"...Can you please not have that expression when you kill someone?"

Hearing this, Hidan glanced at Kakuzu with disdain: "Ha~ What do you know?! Sacrificing to the pain of the evil god is an honor! So it won't hurt me at all!"

"Do you understand?! This is honor! Honor doesn't hurt!"

"But honor shouldn't be this perverted expression." Kakuzu complained.

Honor? What the hell is honor?

In Kakuzu's view, there is no such thing as honor in the world.

There are only banknotes!

Speaking of honor, more and more money is the greatest honor!

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Well, I'm too lazy to bother with an old antique like you, let's hurry to Rain Village."

"But I'm really looking forward to it—"

"From the time I joined the organization until now, I have never really seen what the leader looks like~~" Feiduan faded away from the curse state and said with anticipation.

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan and said calmly, "You haven't even been in the organization for a week, why are you talking like you've been there for a year?"

"What's it to you, old man?"

"...Say one more word and I'll rip your heart out and give it to me instead."

"Come on, old man! I want to see how many times I can stab you in the heart!"

...

...

Somewhere in a hidden woods.

Itachi Uchiha, who was walking side by side with Hoshigaki Kisame, suddenly stopped without warning.

His eyes were suddenly covered by a layer of mist.

pat-

A crow suddenly landed on a branch.

The crow stood on a branch, shaking its feathers, with black mist flashing in its pupils.

If you get close to the crows and listen carefully, you can hear whispers that remind you of fear.

"Itachi?" Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Itachi who suddenly stopped beside him: "What? Did you find the enemy?"

Seeing Itachi standing there motionless, Hoshigaki Kisame was about to step forward to check the reason, but Itachi, who had been standing there motionless just a second ago, suddenly gasped and covered his eyes in pain: "Ugh——"
