"Peace?"
The moment Yahiko finished speaking, Uchiha Yue looked at him strangely.
Moreover, in that instant, the way Uchiha Yue looked at Yahiko was as though he were looking at an idiot. Even Uchiha Yue himself could not understand what Yahiko was thinking when he tried to recruit him into Akatsuki.
