Kakashi, Rin is talking to you!
Who are you giving me that sour look for?
Hey, I'm talking to you!
Minato Namikaze, along with Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara, had just returned from a mission.
We need to rest in this town tonight. Minato Namikaze had just gone to gather intelligence when Obito started shouting.
Wearing a mask, Kakashi's eyes were cold. He didn't want to waste any words with Obito and Body Flicker Technique appeared on the roof.
" Kakashi, you stop right there! I challenge you to a duel!"
" Obito, that's incredibly rude of you!"
Kakashi ran ahead, Obito Uchiha his might.
Rin Nohara couldn't keep up with the two of them and could only anxiously follow behind.
Soon, Obito, who had lost Obito of the pursuer, had just rounded a corner when he was hit in the face with a wooden stick.
Who goes there!
Obito reacted quickly, leaping backward to dodge the stick, only to find another stick already waiting behind him.
Bang!
Obito felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
" Obito! What's wrong?"
It seemed that Rin Nohara had alerted the man who had ambushed him, and the man with the wooden stick disappeared in a few leaps.
Still groggy, Obito saw Rin's concerned expression and forgot the pain from the bump on the back of his head, grinning as he said:
"Don't worry! I'm very strong, this sneaky bastard is no match for me!"
Seeing the large bump on Obito's back, Rin Nohara quickly used her Healing Mystical Palm Technique to treat Obito:
"Too dangerous!"
Obito, tell Minato-sensei!
How could Obito let Rin tell Minato Namikaze?
Wouldn't Kakashi find out then?
Wouldn't his image Obito be completely ruined?
Obito, Rin Nohara finally agreed to help him keep the matter a secret.
Rin's Mystical Palm Technique was quite effective; the large bump on the back of Obito's head quickly disappeared.
Seeing how much Rin cared for him, Obito completely forgot about the man in black who had Obito him.
Xian Er is truly blessed; he has no worries on his mind.
That night in his hotel room, Obito put in eye drops before lying down to sleep.
In his sleep, he was dreaming of becoming Hokage and marrying Rin Nohara when a whooshing sound and pain startled him awake.
A bloodstained Kunai grazed his face and embedded itself directly in the pillow.
"Ah!"
Konoha Orochimaru Research Base
Orochimaru was examining the cloned White Zetsu Cells under a microscope when he suddenly felt a momentary daze.
Once he adjusted to the shock of memories from when his Clone Technique dissipated, a strange smile appeared on his face:
" Mukai- kun is truly unexpected. During the Chunin Ninja Exams, he only got into a conflict with the Uchiha."
They even went so far as to Chakra Metal to ask me to do this kind of pointless thing.
If people found out that I used Clone Technique to scare a Genin Uchiha Clan, I wonder what kind of trouble it would cause.
Obito Uchiha, don't blame me, it's just that Mukai- kun gave me too much!
Orochimaru muttered to himself as he summoned a communication snake from his sleeve:
"Pass this scroll to Mukai."
With the messenger snake gone, Orochimaru once again pressed his eye against the microscope:
"Heh heh, how interesting! These cells even have the characteristics of Hashirama Cells!"
This is the first time I've ever seen a life form that's half plant and half animal.
Interesting, so interesting...
Let me study this for a bit before I go scare Obito Uchiha!
grudges between children?
How interesting!
Do you think it's fun to do this?
Mukai and Scorpion worked all night to completely destroy the Saionji clan's armed forces.
When he returned to Moon Sake Town, he heard news that he had never expected.
The few spies he marked were originally intended to be kept for information control or to spread false information.
Yahiko actually let him go!
Mukai out and stopped Sasori, who was about to explode in anger, and looked directly into Yahiko's eyes and asked:
" Yahiko, I should have made it very clear when I discovered those spies."
This is a card we can control; keeping it in our hand is more effective than playing it.
Why did you let them go?
Yahiko's orange hair was slightly disheveled, but his eyes were filled with an undeniable determination.
" Mukai, I know you're angry. But I have to do this."
Mukai struggled to suppress his anger and said, his voice strained:
" Yahiko, what you released was not just a few Amegakure spies."
They were spies planted in Moon Sake Town by Amegakure Village.
They are enemies.
They were also conclusively proven to be saboteurs.
Your actions only demonstrate your weakness and compromise to those who covet this town.
This will harm the Akatsuki and the entire town!
Yahiko stepped forward and retorted sharply:
"But our guiding principle is peace!"
Peace can be achieved through understanding without the use of force!
It's not about confrontation or killing; it's about hoping for mutual understanding, a peace that doesn't resemble war!
If you keep them all in the town, Chief Hanzō future!
Hatred will accumulate like this rain!
I released them to show Hanzō our goodwill.
Tell him that the Akatsuki is not his enemy; what we want is dialogue, to change this country through communication and understanding!
Tell Hanzō your peace philosophy?
How can you demonstrate sincerity to the leader of Amegakure through weakness and retreat?
Yahiko, I can understand your naivety.
But what I can't understand is why you would think that Hanzō would sit down and listen to a child talk about his dream of peace?
"Those people from Saionji, those who originally occupied Moon Sake Town, are they willing to listen to your ideas?"
Yahiko shook off Nagato's obstruction and said with his neck stiff:
"I'm not a child! I've seen real war!"
Having witnessed it firsthand, I know that violence cannot solve problems!
Mukai- kun, you and Sasori are both very powerful ninjas.
Your aspirations are noble, but the peace I desire is one achieved through communication and understanding!
Mukai grinned and said:
"I thought you'd matured after experiencing so much, but I didn't expect you to still be so naive."
Only when Hanzo of the Salamander clearly understands that provoking the Akatsuki will come at a price he cannot afford...
Only then will he be forced to sit down and consider options other than force.
The same applies to other major powers.
So-called dialogue is based on equal strength, or at least on the premise that the other party is wary of it.
What you're doing now is offering your knees to the other person right after we've just made him feel pain.
If Scorpion and I don't come to our aid, are you also prepared to kneel Saionji and beg for their understanding?
Yahiko waved his arms excitedly, his voice rising considerably:
"I haven't even had a proper conversation with them, and you've already started killing people!"
This is not understanding! This is killing and violence!
Peace bought with fear is not true peace!
Mukai shook his head, his voice filled with deep disappointment:
" Yahiko, I've said it before, you are pure."
Your thinking has gone to another extreme.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
Now that you've made your decision, our cooperation ends here.
Go and pursue the Akatsuki that you love and understand!
However, I won't let Konan participate in your ideal.
Nagato, will you continue to accompany Yahiko to realize this ideal?
With the helmet that Mukai made for him, Nagato no longer needed to cover his eyes all the time, and he became much more confident.
He pondered for a moment before speaking:
"I'm sorry, Mukai- kun, although I agree with your point of view, I also think that Yahiko's idea is naive."
But I can't abandon him.
Perhaps Yahiko will understand after he hits a wall.
Mukai stopped Nagato from taking off his helmet:
" Nagato, these mechs are a gift I'm giving you."
They can protect you better.
Furthermore, even if our cooperation with the Akatsuki is temporarily suspended, we will still be friends.
If you encounter any difficulties, you can directly contact Konan.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yahiko, whose fists were clenched, and shook his head:
"If Yahiko ever comes to his senses, the door to cooperation will always be open to him."
I don't want you to sacrifice the people around you to beg for so-called peace and ideals.
Time will tell us what is right and what is wrong.
After saying that, Mukai didn't linger and turned to lead Scorpion into the rain.
He put away his Akatsuki cloak, and his figure in the Zealot Mecha looked unusually desolate.
