Inside the Akatsuki base.
Yahiko looked at his companions below.
[It feels like it has grown in the blink of an eye. Akatsuki.]
Nagato beside him said: [It was Yahiko's dream that resonated with everyone. In fact, everyone has long been tired of war. ]
Yahiko said: [As long as everyone unites as one, peace will come soon. By the way, where is Konan? ]
【I just went out. 】
Yahiko asked: [What are you going to do? ]
[Unclear. 】
Just then, a paper butterfly flew to their feet.
【This is……】
【Xiaonan's.】
Yahiko picked up the paper butterfly and opened it.
[Dear Lord Konan. From the first time I saw you... this is...]
【Love letter.】
Yahiko continued reading: [Please tell me your answer. I'll be waiting for you on the back terrace. Hatosuke.]
Yahiko looked nervous: [Could it be that Konan really went to find him? ]
[Unclear. 】
After that, Nagato found a reason for him.
[Yahiko, don’t you have something to do? ]
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then reacted: [Right, right! I forgot, I’m going to the bathroom! Haha! I can’t hold it anymore. ]
Looking at Yahiko's hurried back, Nagato showed a smile on his face.

Under the terrace
Yahiko hid behind the wall, gritting his teeth.
【That grandson.】
……
Ninja World
"Hahaha. He's panicking! He's panicking! This nervous little expression..."
"I can see that Yahiko likes Konan too."
"What about Konan? I think she likes Yahiko too?"
"Hatosuke's tiredness of war is fake, and falling in love with Konan at first sight is the real reason why he joined Akatsuki, right?"
"I also fell in love with the rich lady Xiaonan at first sight. It doesn't matter whether she is rich or not. I just like this person."
"That dirty little girl has now grown into a beautiful girl. It's abnormal that no one likes her."
Rain Country
Konan was amused by Yahiko's words "this grandson".
The corner of Tendo Pain's mouth also curled up.
Xiaonan hasn't laughed for a long time.
The last time he laughed was when Yahiko was alive.

[She's quite fast, and her moves are also quite fast. More companions mean more rivals.]
At this moment, Nagato's voice came from behind Yahiko.
【That’s true.】
Yahiko was startled and turned around: [Eh? Nagato...]
Nagato asked: [Does Yahiko like Konan? ]
[Stupid, that's not the case. ]
[But I think Konan likes Yahiko. ]
Yahiko was stunned, and then he saw Hagusuke bowed to Konan and left.
【Ah? He's gone.】
Konan suddenly said: [Over there, right? Yahiko, Nagato.]
The two of them quickly hid behind the wall.
Yahiko leaned against the wall with a nervous look on his face and asked: [Konan...how did you answer?]
Xiaonan said: [I told him that before the dream of 'Xiao' comes true, there is no time for us to fall in love. Is that right? ]
[Konan…]
Konan's body turned into a piece of paper: [Yahiko, practice with me for a while. ]
Watching the paper butterflies flying by.
[This trick doesn't work when it rains. ]
But then he was slapped in the face.
Yahiko waved his kunai and cut the paper butterflies into pieces.
[Oil paper, it seems you have considered it. ]
[It took a little effort. If you dawdle, be careful not to be left behind by me. ]
……
Ninja World
"That's an excuse. You just don't like it, right?"
"If it was Yahiko who confessed, Konan might have agreed."

In the base
[Brother, there are so many commissions. Can we complete them all? ]
Hatosuke handed a note to Nagato.
[We have to do it. Helping all those in need is our mission. 】
Yahiko came over, took the note from Nagato's hand and began to read it.
Jiusuke looked at the note in his hand and said: [At this point, I really want an organization of Hanzo's size. ]
[After all, Hanzo is our role model. He has been fighting to bring peace to the world. One day, our Akatsuki will become an organization as famous as Hanzo.]

Rain Country
Hanzo looked at the ninja who reported to him.
【dawn?】
[Yes. Rumors about them can be heard everywhere recently.]
Hanzo said: [Oh. There are such ninjas in the village? I welcome forces that are committed to solving problems in a peaceful way. This will also bring me one step closer to my dream of peacefully uniting the five major countries. But these people appeared so suddenly... I'm afraid there is someone behind them. ]
The ninja said: [I heard that they are disciples of Jiraiya from Konoha Village.]
[Jiraiya... one of Konoha's three ninjas? ]
[Yes, after Jiraiya fought with Hanzo-sama, he stayed here for three years to teach the war orphans ninjutsu.]
Hanzo smiled and said, "Is he the boy's former apprentice? Showing mercy will not only benefit others, but perhaps Akatsuki is here to repay his kindness."
……
Ninja World
"In Hanzo's eyes, he showed mercy to the Sannin, and the Akatsuki leader, who was the apprentice of one of the Sannin, came to repay his kindness... In other words, Hanzo is actually very optimistic about the Akatsuki organization now."
"That guy Danzo is truly a heinous criminal!"
"It's also possible that Akatsuki was a real threat to Hanzo at that time. If I were in Hanzo's position, I would also be suspicious. Danzo's instigation only planted a rapidly growing seed of doubt in Hanzo's heart."

Xiao Organization
Jiusuke walked in and said to Yahiko: [Brother Yahiko, it seems that many villages near the border of the ninja village have been attacked recently. ]
Yahiko asked solemnly: [What's going on? ]
[These are places with little information, so I don't know the exact situation, but it seems that the area bordering the Land of Earth is the most serious.]
[The seventh area? Do you want to go take a look? Konan, Nagato. ]
Xiaonan stood up and said, "Okay."
[Kousuke, Great Buddha. I'll leave it to you to look after the house. ]
【clear. 】
[Leave it to me, big brother.]
……
Ninja World
"You treat him as your big brother, and you want to chase your sister-in-law."
"The Rain Country at that time was the most chaotic and miserable country in the entire ninja world."
"Both are surviving in the cracks between big countries, but the Grass Country is more capable than the Rain Country."
"The Rain Country is more miserable than the Grass Country in that they have a powerful demigod, Hanzo. If there were no Hanzo, the Rain Country would probably just be a slippery fence-sitter."

The three of them looked at the ruined village around them.
【It's too awful. 】
【Who did this? 】
[It seems that the scale of the incident is much larger than what we have dealt with in the past.]
At this moment, a wooden board at the back fell over.
Yahiko still had anger on his face, and he turned around and shouted, "Who are you? Get out!"
Several ninjas holding knives walked out from behind the ruined house.
The leader asked: [Who are you guys? ]
【dawn.】
Several ninjas were stunned: [Akatsuki?]
Yahiko asked: [It seems that you are ninjas from Amegakure? We are an organization that aims to bring peace to this village. We heard that this area was attacked, so we came here to investigate. Who did this? ]
[Are you here to investigate? ]
The leading ninja said: [It's Iwagakure! ]
