If time could be reversed, Kingpin certainly wouldn't have uttered those righteous words just to show off.
Who would have thought that the leader of the Akatsuki would have such a personality?
To create incredibly powerful weapons for the sake of peace, and to make people understand each other, so that they experience pain first?
You're such a little genius!
While there is some truth to this statement, Kingpin is a mentally sound adult and would not be brainwashed by such ideas.
But now, because of his words, the leader Six Paths of Pain actually said, "Let New York feel pain, let this country feel pain."
Kingpin believe the leader was exaggerating. As the leader of Akatsuki, Pain was indeed capable of destroying New York!
What's even more frightening is that Pain might actually have that power.
Kingpin always hated New York, that much is undeniable.
Because it was here that he lost the most important people in his life.
But even with hatred, Kingpin did not leave New York.
This was partly because he didn't want to be the one running away, but more importantly, because Kingpin want to leave the place where he was born and raised.
New York is, after all Kingpin's home, the place where he grew up, and the place that holds his childhood memories.
Although those memories weren't pleasant.
Kingpin want New York to be destroyed outright, because that would mean he would be destroyed as well.
After all, he is also a part of New York.
Thinking of this, Kingpin mustered his courage, looked at the Deva Path, and said, "Chief, how do you intend to make New York feel pain?"
"I'm not trying to spy on you. I just think that if it's too dangerous, we should have the gang members leave that area. After all, they still have some use; they're not completely disposable scum."
Upon hearing this, Deva Path gave Kingpin a cold look, which terrified Kingpin.
Fortunately, Deva Path did not take any action, but calmly said, "You will know when the time comes."
"As for the area, have all your gang members leave New York!"
Kingpin's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not say anything more, quickly nodding in agreement.
Regret is useless now. Having become the Akatsuki's South, with the Caged Bird Seal Mark on his forehead, Kingpin can no longer disembark.
He now has only one choice: to resolutely follow the Akatsuki and go all the way down this path.
"Boss, Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju are quite strong. I'm worried they might hinder your capture of the Nine-Tails," Obito suddenly said.
The Deva Path did not turn its head, but looked out the window and said, "Under the footsteps of the gods, mere mortals cannot stop them."
When Kingpin heard Obito's words, he was somewhat surprised. "Sir, aren't you going with the leader?"
Obito shook his head. "I only brought you here with me. Another companion will be arriving later. I'll leave with him to capture the other Tailed Beasts."
"The other Tailed Beasts?"
"Yes, among the Nine Tailed Beasts, Shukaku, the One-Tail Shukaku, ranks third in strength."
"My lord, do you need my assistance?" Kingpin asked hastily.
At this moment, Kingpin had come to a decision: since he couldn't stop his leader's actions, he might as well just leave and avoid further trouble.
But Obito shook his head. "The enemy the leader will face is still unclear. I can handle the One-Tail Beast alone. Bringing another companion is just for safety; we can't bring two."
"Kingpin, you stay and help the leader clear the obstacles."
"Yes!" Kingpin a pained expression.
Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly swept past Kingpin's office. Kingpin quickly turned his head and saw a huge, strangely shaped white Wyvern hovering outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
On the back of that white Wyvern stood a figure also dressed in a black robe with red clouds.
This is Wu Chen's shadow clone, perfectly timed to Shadow Clone Deidara!
At that moment, Deidara waved to the French windows, and Obito responded by raising his hand in return.
However, after responding, Obito did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Deva Path, "Boss, although you are very strong, it's best to be cautious just to be safe! Once I arrive at the destination, I'll reveal some information. My side might attract either Minato Namikaze or Tobirama Senju. At that time, you can then make your move!"
The Deva Path did not answer, but simply waved its hand, signaling Obito to leave.
Seeing this, Obito stopped trying to persuade him and summoned the vortex, using it to reach the back of the Wyvern.
Whew~
Deidara and Obito departed on Wyvern.
Only Deva Path and Kingpin remained in Kingpin's office.
Kingpin felt somewhat uncomfortable; the oppressive atmosphere made him uneasy.
So he said, "Chief, what should we do?"
Kingpin was somewhat worried. What if the leader wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on taking action right now?
Since I can't get off the ship myself, I can only try to make it sail further.
I just hope that the captain, our leader, isn't the stubborn and self-willed type!
Kingpin prayed silently, hoping that his leader would heed Tobi Afei's advice.
