After the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure temporarily ceased their war due to various issues, the Shinobi World ushered in a brief period of peace.
This peace also gave those in the Shinobi World who had suffered from the war a chance to catch their breath.
During this period, some extremely small organizations began to show signs of emerging, such as the Shinobi World's future top organization, the "Ninja Group."
dawn.
It's still a fledgling organization.
Oh, no, the current Akatsuki doesn't even have a basic organizational structure; it only has Yahiko and two others.
Therefore, Xiao is not officially established in the strict sense at present.
However, this situation would not last long, because they were realizing that their combined strength was far too insignificant in the face of endless suffering, and they began to consider recruiting others.
It was after Yahiko began recruiting others that the organization continued to grow, and based in Amegakure, it took in ninjas and civilians ravaged by war and provided them with protection, thus leading to the early stages of Akatsuki as we know it today.
The name Akatsuki was also established during this period, when Yahiko saw the rising sun and took it down.
Bathed in the light of the rising sun, Yahiko, who had grown up in the rain-shrouded Amegakure of Amegakure, said, "This country has suffered terribly from the ravages of war, and has always been weeping. Therefore, we must change this country, no, we must change the dawn of the world."
It was under such a slogan and Yahiko's own personal charisma that Akatsuki continuously attracted like-minded people in this war-torn era. These people were willing to fight for Amegakure and even for world peace under Yahiko's leadership.
It's a pity that although they have lofty ideals, they lack the corresponding strength.
Under the influence of the Shinobi World's dark forces, this organization, originally created for the peace of the Shinobi World, deviated from its original path and instead became a dark veil shrouding the Shinobi World Shinobi World, causing immense harm.
However, that was many years later. Right now, Yahiko and his two companions are still working hard to alleviate the suffering of the common people in Amegakure.
" Nagato, how's it going on your end? Have they resolved their issues?" The orange-haired youth, still a young man, asked the red-haired youth who was rushing towards him.
This person was the spiritual pillar of the Akatsuki, and also the one who was later made into the Deva Path by Yahiko.
"It's been resolved, and the damaged house has been rebuilt." The one who responded to Yahiko was Nagato, his childhood friend. He had just repaired a house damaged by the war and immediately came to Yahiko's location.
Seeing that Nagato had successfully completed the mission, Yahiko laughed heartily a few times, then seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "Where's Konan? She was just with you."
Konan is another childhood friend of theirs, and the only girl among the three of them.
Just over an hour ago, Konan was helping Nagato repair the villagers' houses, but now she has suddenly disappeared, which Yahiko finds strange.
" Konan said she was going to prepare lunch today, so she went to the forest on the edge of the village to find ingredients. After all, it's almost lunchtime," Nagato replied to Yahiko, pointing to the dense forest beside them.
"I see, that makes sense. It is indeed lunchtime."
Hearing Nagato's words, Yahiko subconsciously looked up at the sun overhead, which was radiating a warm glow, and murmured, "It's been so long since I've seen such beautiful sunlight."
Yahiko and his group are currently in Amegakure shrouded in rain year-round, hence the saying "the world weeps here." Seeing sunlight in Amegakure is a rare occurrence.
Just as Yahiko and Nagato were discussing Konan, a cute and gentle voice rang out from the edge of the woods. " Yahiko, Nagato, I found lots of ingredients in the forest. We'll have something to eat for lunch today."
Yahiko and Nagato turned around and saw Konan standing by the woods, carrying a bag full of ingredients, waving happily at them.
But what puzzled them was that a gentle-looking, unfamiliar man with black-rimmed glasses was standing next to Konan.
" Konan, you're here! Nagato and I were just talking about you. And who's this next to you?" Yahiko asked quickly upon seeing Konan, looking at the man who had suddenly appeared with a probing gaze.
He was a ninja after all, and he had basic vigilance. This man who suddenly appeared next to Konan made him suspicious.
However, he quickly dispelled his doubts. He discovered that the strange man who had suddenly appeared did not possess Chakra; he was just an ordinary civilian. And civilians were undoubtedly the least of his worries.
Upon hearing Yahiko's question, Konan seemed to suddenly remember something. She stretched out her delicate white hand and slapped her head, saying with a hint of apology, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. The Yusuke brother next to me is called Yusuke. He got lost in the woods, so I brought him out."
Upon hearing what Konan said, the man named Yusuke quickly waved his hand and said, "I should be thanking Konan. Otherwise, I don't know if I would still be wandering around in the woods after dark. If that had happened, it would have been troublesome."
His expression showed a hint of lingering fear, as if he had been frightened by the complex layout of the forest.
Upon hearing Yusuke's words, Konan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, actually I should thank Yusuke more. If it weren't for Yusuke's advice, I almost brought back poisonous ingredients. Besides, Yusuke, you also taught me a lot about edible ingredients found in the forest. This has solved our supply problems many times."
And seemingly ashamed of having chosen the wrong ingredients, her fair face flushed bright red.
Seeing the two politely deferring to each other, Yahiko lowered his guard and smiled brightly, "I see. Then I really have to thank you, Yusuke. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble if we had eaten the poisonous ingredients that Konan had!"
After speaking, one should bow to the Yusuke to express gratitude.
Yahiko's serious attitude startled Yusuke, who couldn't even maintain his gentle expression and quickly stepped forward to help Yahiko: " Konan is exaggerating. That poisonous ingredient won't cause any particularly serious damage to the human body; it will only cause stomach upset in those who eat it."
"Even so, Yusuke, your help to us is still a favor, so please accept my gratitude."
Yahiko, however, was very stubborn and once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it. So he insisted on bowing to Yusuke to express his gratitude. But Yusuke would never accept such a grand gesture, so he continued to stop him.
Therefore, one of them wanted to bow, while the other tried his best to stop him, and for a moment, the two were at an impasse.
