Chapter 572

[On the sea outside the Hidden Rain Village, the dead Konan lies flat on the surface of the sea, and a piece of blood-stained paper on her neck flies up into the sky and drifts far away. ]

[The scene turns back to the past again. In the secret hut, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, who are also wearing toad coats, kneel on the ground and listen to Jiraiya explaining the functions of the three frog boards (flip boards) in front of them. ]

[When in the base, flip the frog board to the red front, and when going out, flip it to the white back. This action can determine whether the person in the house is disguised by the enemy, or confirm whether the companions have been kidnapped in the base. In addition to the secret rooms and secret passages arranged in advance, all measures are only to ensure the safety of several people. For this reason, Jiraiya set an example and placed his own frog board. 】

["Although I don't know where Konan hid Nagato's body, the safest way is to destroy the Samsara Eye directly. Otherwise, even if there is no Afei, sooner or later there will be other people who covet the Samsara Eye to find him."]

["That being said, it is not allowed emotionally, especially since Konan thought that the Samsara Eye belonged to Nagato before. How could she take the initiative to destroy Nagato's body?"]

["So now it is basically certain that the Samsara Eye of Uchiha Madara, Afei and Nagato is actually the same person. As for whether Sasuke is an exception, it remains to be discussed."]

["Puff! Hahaha, the atmosphere was quite solemn, what's going on with the content of the sky curtain now! Why did they deliberately change Pretending to be a toad, what kind of bad taste does Jiraiya have! ”]

[“Let’s not talk about Jiraiya’s hobbies for now. Although the frog board he arranged is simple, it is quite practical.”]

[“Very dedicated, Jiraiya is a teacher... He is an orphan in the war zone, but he really puts his heart and soul into it.”]

[“After all, the Samsara Eye is right in front of him, and it is related to his life prophecy, so he can’t be careless.”]

[In this way, the days passed one by one. Although no accidents happened during the period, the few people also strictly followed Jiraiya’s instructions and turned over the frog board on the wall again and again when they went out or came back. The three did not change this habit until Jiraiya left.]

[The three grew up quickly in constant training and fighting. The older Yahiko and Konan also fell in love with each other in their long-term companionship and made clear their feelings for each other. Against this background, the Akatsuki organization was successfully established and continued to grow. Then finally came the day when the three had to change their base. 】

【"The organization has grown, and we have to find a new hiding place..." The three people with backpacks stood in the house and said goodbye. Yahiko stared at everything in the house and said seriously: "We change and grow here. Everything starts from here. We start from here for our dreams! In the future..."】

【Konan turned her frog board over. Just as Yahiko and Nagato were about to turn it over, a group of enemies ambushed outside suddenly attacked. However, when they rushed into the house, the three had successfully escaped from here through the secret passage. From then on, the three embarked on a new life path. 】

【'We start from here for our dreams! In the future... If the dream comes true, even if everyone is scattered, one day we must come back here! Then the three of them celebrate together! ’]

[‘When the time comes, we will also call Jiraiya-sensei...’]

[‘Of course...’]

[‘Yeah...definitely...’]

[As the three voices narrated, a square of paper stained with blood fell from the sky, covering the frog board that Konan had flipped over when she left. Opposite the frog boards of the three, Jiraiya's frog board was also flipped over by the wildly growing vines. 】

["Yahiko and Konan are together, but it's a pity that they don't have a happy ending."]

["Love during wartime is destined to be only an embellishment. There are too many unhappy people in this world."]

["In the last scene, the four of them returned to the hut. This development is a bit unexpected."]

["Why does it look a bit mysterious? That red-dyed paper flew all the way here and just happened to cover Konan's frog board? This is actually the effect of some kind of ninjutsu!"]

["Whether it's intentional or coincidental, I'm quite satisfied with this ending. If it weren't for the bad relationship with Konoha, I might have shed a few tears."]

"In the end, everyone returned there..." Konan's eyes were watery, and she lowered her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Nagato exhaled deeply.

Since Yahiko's death, Nagato thought that returning to that hutThe promise they made could never be fulfilled, but now Tianmu seemed to have fulfilled it in another form.

Jiraiya, who was also looking at Tianmu, sighed.

The ending of the three students made him inevitably sad, and he was even more moved by the promise they made in that hut.

Perhaps in the next journey, he can go back there to take a look and have a long-lost face-to-face communication with the two students...

A short story ends here, and Tianmu enters the next story.

[“Summoning Technique!” A Fei in a black robe summoned the Nine-Tails in Konoha, causing a great commotion. In an instant, a large number of houses collapsed and countless villagers were killed and injured. ]

[As the fourth generation Hokage, Minato Namikaze, after settling his weak wife and newborn child, put on a shadow robe and came to the Hokage Rock alone, facing the huge Tailed Beast Ball launched by the Nine-Tails. ]

[“What is a ninja? I once asked this question... “A ninja is someone who can endure”, my master once told me this. "Accompanied by Naruto's voiceover, the scene shifted to a forest, and all the members of Akatsuki appeared on a huge dead tree.]

["Why is it the content of the Nine-Tails Rebellion again?"]

["The scene jumped to another place. This story should be related to the Nine-Tails Rebellion."]

["Wow! All the members of Akatsuki are out, what are they trying to do!"]

["What are they doing! Can't help but want to flatten the ninja world!"]

["Am I the only one who wants to complain about their positioning? Why is Uchiha Itachi standing at the top and in the middle! It makes him seem like the leader of Akatsuki!"]

["No wonder Uchiha Shin, who worships Itachi, keeps talking about reviving Akatsuki. It turns out that this is the truth! Uchiha Itachi, you are the mastermind behind everything!"]
