Konan was kidnapped.
It disappeared so quietly that no one even noticed.
The first thing I discovered was an uncle ninja with slicked back hair, a member of Akatsuki.
Because I found a lot of refugees gathered around the school gate, I thought they were snatching food at first.
After finally evacuating the refugees, we saw boxes on the ground that had been robbed and in disarray.
This uncle was also a ninja of Land of Rain in his early years, but later he became lame and was eliminated, but he still had some vigilance.
I quickly caught a few refugees who had just made trouble and asked about the situation, and the answers they received were almost the same - the refugees only saw the boxes filled with supplies left in place, and did not see the person responsible for taking care of them.
The uncle immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
First, I quickly found someone to confirm who were the people who came to deliver supplies today, and soon discovered a more serious problem!
"Konan was kidnapped!?"
Yahiko, who was helping Land of Rain refugees repair their roofs for free, was shocked!
"When!? Who will kidnap Konan!?"
"The time was about 15 minutes ago, and the other party was well-trained and did not leave any traces at the scene."
The uncle blamed himself and said, "I'm really sorry, Yahiko... I didn't find out at the first time, alas..."
"Now is not the time to blame yourself, Uncle Chuanguang."
Yahiko shows the calmness that a leader should have. This valuable quality is also one of the reasons why he can recruit so many people.
"Nagato and I will go to the chief's mansion to inquire about the situation. You and the others will look around first. Konan... maybe he just encountered an emergency."
Although I know it is unlikely, Konan will never throw the supplies on the ground no matter what happens.
Yahiko said this because he also wanted to comfort this uncle.
In fact, Yahiko has roughly guessed what is going on...
Two Land of Rain ninjas came to him two days ago and told him to be careful when distributing supplies.
The other party spoke in a bad tone at the time and obviously wanted him to pay protection money.
Yahiko rejected this scum at that time and threatened that if the other party dared to do this again, he would report the situation to Lord Hanzo.
Although the other party ran away in despair, Yahiko has been feeling uneasy for the past two days and felt that the other party would not just give up.
Unexpectedly, they were so arrogant that they dared to directly kidnap Konan!
"Mother-in-law! I'm in a hurry. I'll leave the tools here for you first. I'll come back to help you repair the roof after I'm done!"
Yahiko was so furious that he jumped off the roof. Before leaving, he did not forget to say, "Don't sell my tools, I'll just do this to my mother-in-law!"
At this time, Nagato should be performing sewer repair tasks in another area.
Yahiko ran all the way, but on the road he also met Nagato who was running wildly.
"Yahiko!!!"
Nagato rushed towards Yahiko in a hurry, holding a wrinkled note in his hand, and said nervously, "I just received this, look!"
Yahiko opened the note and found a stranger's handwriting on it.
"Konan is in my hands. If you want to redeem him, please prepare 100 million taels. Come to me alone 120 meters behind the first hillside in the northeast direction outside the West City Gate. You only have thirty minutes."
Yahiko was shocked. He recognized the creases on the paper. Konan liked the paper flowers hanging on his head. It was folded like this!
"Konan was really kidnapped!?"
Yahiko's first reaction was to play a prank, but he quickly rejected the idea.
If you are a member of Akatsuki who is familiar with them, you will definitely know that all of them together cannot make up one hundred thousand taels, let alone one hundred million taels!
"What should we do Yahiko, the time is so close, where can we collect so much money..." Nagato said in a panic.
"Calm down!"
Yahiko gave Nagato a powerful look, "I have a way, Nagato..."
Rain City.
120 meters behind the first hillside in the northeast outside Ximen City, inside an abandoned hut.
"Uh! Uh! Uh----!"
Konan, who was tied up, struggled hard, with tape taped on his mouth, and could only make a "wow" sound.
But no one paid him any attention.
Obito and Shisui are cleaning the room. They are very experienced in this area. They cleaned the house in a short time. Obito has even started to repair the roof.
Pakura leaned against the door, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking into the room.
I just don't understand what these people want to do.
Ruohuo was sitting in front of the table. The apple Konan gave him was put aside, and he was concentrating on operating a small piece of paper.
He frowned and even opened Three Tomoe, but no matter how he folded the note, it could not be folded into the shape of a small flower.
"How did you do it?"
Ruohuo finally gave up and turned to ask Konan.
A small piece of paper can be folded into a paper flower. What kind of magical skill is this?
"Woooooooooooo--!"
Konan struggled even harder.
Ruohuo frowned and did not rush to tear off the tape on Konan's mouth. Body Flicker Technique disappeared and returned two minutes later with another small white wild flower in his hand.
Ruohuo came to Konan and squatted down, ignoring Konan's frightened and ferocious gaze.
"Don't move. There are thorns on the flowers and they are poisonous. If you accidentally scratch your face, you may get a lot of pustules and leave ugly scars."
Konan Be honest in one second.
Ruohuo inserted the small white flower on Konan's head, tilted his head back, checked it, corrected the angle, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad..."
The next second, tear--
Ruohuo tore off the tape on Konan's mouth with lightning speed. Konan was stunned for a second, "Uh-huh~!"
Strange sounds.
He wanted to scream but didn't dare, and his shoulders were huddled together.
"Sorry, I usually don't attack girls, so I can only ask Miss Pakura." Ruohuo said calmly.
"She used to be a ninja from Sunagakure. She was an excellent ninja on the battlefield, but she has not received professional kidnapping training and is not familiar with this business. You have been wronged."
Pakura:...
You are amazing and noble.
If you think this little girl has been wronged, you should let her go earlier?
After listening to Ruohuo's words, Konan, who had been struggling before, became a lot more honest and timidly asked, "You... are you all Sunagakure's ninjas?"
"Why kidnap me? I'm of no value..."
"Don't deny your own value at any time, Senior Sister Konan."
Ruohuo shook his head, "As for the reason for kidnapping you, you will know it later. Do you have any other questions? They should be arriving soon. You can still ask one last question."
Konan blinked in surprise, "You... what did you just call me?"
"I just called you Senior Sister Konan."
After Ruohuo finished speaking, he turned to look at Pakura, "Ms. Pakura, do you still have the tape? Please seal her mouth and use a more professional technique."
Pakura rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes, boss."
