That day.
"Konan, Nagato, Yahiko, I'm going out to buy groceries! Please take care of Hidan!" Nan Xue called to the three of them.
"Okay, Mother!" Konan nodded happily.
"Huh? So this is your little brother? He looks so cute," Nagato said, his eyes shining.
"Konan! When your little brother grows up, have him join our Akatsuki!" Yahiko said happily.
"Look! I've even prepared flesh-colored lace stockings for Hidan!" Yahiko rummaged around and pulled a pair of flesh-colored lace stockings out of his clothes.
"Honestly, Uncle Dave was joking about the Akatsuki. You actually believed him?" Nagato said helplessly, pulling out the white stockings Dave had given him as the symbol of the Akatsuki Leader.
"No! I think Uncle Dave was serious about the Akatsuki! Turn the world into a world filled with Wi-Fi! If there's Wi-Fi everywhere in the shinobi world, people can connect wherever they go! Now that would be a truly peaceful shinobi world! You haven't understood the true meaning behind Uncle Dave's words!" Yahiko said with stars in his eyes.
"...Here. You can be the Akatsuki Leader!" Nagato froze for a few seconds, then offered Yahiko the white stockings.
"No! Since Uncle Dave chose you as the Leader, that means you're stronger than me. I'll work hard to get stronger and earn Uncle Dave's approval! Then he'll give them to me himself!" Yahiko said longingly.
"...You're beyond saving." Nagato held his head.
"I've already picked our Akatsuki's first target!" Yahiko said happily.
"What target?" Konan asked, holding Hidan.
"Look! This is a map of the shinobi world! Based on our current strength and what we can actually accomplish, Amegakure! That's the first country we're going to change!" Yahiko pulled out a map and pointed at Amegakure.
"Amegakure... Isn't it our friendly ally? They already have Wi-Fi,"
