Chapter 568
Two months later, Naruto and Jiraiya came to the Land of Rivers.
Unlike the leisurely four months of searching for Orochimaru while practicing, Naruto devoted himself to various training and tasks in these two months.
Although he did not master new ninjutsu, the two months of training and tasks also firmly laid and broadened Naruto's foundation, and also greatly increased Naruto's practical experience, making his strength visible to the naked eye.
And this time coming to the Land of Rivers was a task carefully arranged by Jiraiya for Naruto, to search for a defected Chunin who had various means and had been evading pursuit for many years. Jiraiya also asked Naruto to use the transformation technique to disguise his identity in the mission, and was not allowed to use the shadow clone for assistance, so as to increase the difficulty of the mission.
On this day, Jiraiya and Naruto walked into a small town with a new look. According to the previous intelligence, the mission target was hiding in this town.
"It's already the third town. Are you sure that the target is here, lecherous immortal?" Naruto asked weakly.
"According to the clues, this is the right place..." Jiraiya responded, then looked at Naruto who looked depressed, grabbed his collar to prevent him from falling, and said unhappily: "You are so tired, but you still pretend to be strong and tell me that you are not tired!"
"Don't I want to complete the task quickly... and I don't want to lose to Sasuke..."
"No matter how urgent the matter is, it is necessary to take a rest. This is the simplest truth!" Jiraiya taught while looking at the surrounding environment, and took Naruto to a small shop.
As they sat down, the sky lit up again. Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, you are destined to rest. Stay well. The mission target can't escape."
[In the rainy country covered by heavy rain, Konan stood on the top of a tower, bathing in the rain with a faint smile, recalling the unserious look of Jiraiya who disguised himself as a big toad in the secret hut. Recalling the laughter at that time, Konan's face was full of nostalgia. ]
[However, the arrival of the uninvited guest interrupted this memory. Konan instantly restrained her smile, looked at Afei who appeared behind her, and asked coldly: "Looking for something?"]
[Afei didn't mean to greet, and asked directly: "Where did you get Nagato's body..."]
["Not here..." As she said that, Konan turned into a flying paper butterfly and flew away, and then re-condensed her body on the sea. Afei followed closely and fell on the sea, forming a confrontation with Konan. 】
["Hmm... the atmosphere is not right. It seems that these two people are going to fight."]
["Konan is in danger, but what does Afei want Nagato's body for?"]
["That being said, let's not talk about Nagato's Samsara Eye. The body of the Uzumaki clan alone is very valuable for research. It depends on what Afei wants to use it for."]
"Konan..." Nagato took a deep breath. Although he had a premonition in his heart, when this scene was about to happen, Nagato's heart still felt tightened.
【"Rinnegan... It seems that you are not going to confess where Nagato is..." A Fei said coldly. Xiao Nan's expression was solemn, and the fighting spirit could not be stopped: "I know you will come to me. I have been waiting for a long time, just to end your life."】
【"I will not show mercy just because you were my companion. Akatsuki does not allow betrayal. You know this."】
【Faced with A Fei's threat, Xiao Nan was not moved at all. Seeing this, A Fei asked in a deep voice: "I have a question... Why did you betray me? Uzumaki Naruto... For that guy, is it worth it?"】
【Hearing this, Xiao Nan raised his hand and said with a firm look in his eyes: "He is the light, so everyone can... hold the flower of hope in their hands!"】
["Sure enough, you came for the Rinnegan..." ]
["Hey! So, the Rinnegan that Afei got after that may not be his own. Maybe he just transplanted Nagato's Rinnegan."]
["No wonder only the left eye has the Rinnegan..."]
["It's the same as Sasuke's in the future, so Sasuke's Rinnegan was also transplanted?"]
["I suddenly think it's acceptable. After all, the Rinnegan that never appeared in the past has appeared one after another in the next few years. It's a bit wrong no matter how you think about it."]
["Tsk tsk, Naruto, Naruto, it's because I believe in you that Konan might be sacrificed next. You are really sinful."]
["You can blame me like this? It's obviously Afei's fault!"]
["Humph! You betrayed me but you're still wearing this clothes. It seems that you have a lot of feelings for Akatsuki.And nostalgia." A Fei said sarcastically.]
【"Akatsuki is the organization founded by Yahiko. The red cloud on this dress symbolizes the war that brought blood rain to Yuyin. Although Akatsuki fell into your hands, this dress is our justice, not yours!"]
【"Also, the Samsara Eye belongs to the ninja of Yuyin Village. It was obtained after Nagato opened his eyes. It also does not belong to you!" Xiaonan threw a paper shuriken at A Fei and shouted: "His eyes are the treasure of this country and this village!"]
【Letting the shuriken pass through his ethereal body, A Fei sneered and said: "Hehe... There are two things you got wrong. Anyway, you are not going to survive, so it doesn't matter to tell you."]
【"I was the one who encouraged Yahiko to found Akatsuki, and... I was also the one who gave Nagato the Samsara Eye!" Facing Xiaonan's shocked eyes, A Fei said in a cold voice: "So I just want to get back what belongs to me. ”]
[“In my eyes, you are just a little girl who knows nothing, but now you are the little girl who knows where Nagato’s Samsara Eye is... As long as we catch you, everything will be clear. Don’t underestimate the Uchiha’s eye power, little girl.”]
[Konan quickly calmed down, spread her wings and rushed towards Afei with a lot of paper. Seeing that she was going to use the gap of her materialization to attack, Afei took advantage of the situation and launched the Mangekyō Eye Technique at the moment when Konan was about to hit him, but when he was about to suck her into the different space, he found that there were a lot of detonating tags mixed in the surrounding paper, and the explosion occurred suddenly.]
[“Well, is Afei’s words just to mess with Konan’s mentality, or is it really true?”]
[“The establishment of Akatsuki may be related to him, but the Samsara Eye should have nothing to do with him. If the Samsara Eye was originally his, then why did he put the Samsara Eye on Nagato? Isn’t it better to use it himself?”]
