Chapter 161 The curtain of revenge opens! Begin preparations for revenge against Uchiha Itachi!!

At this moment, everything around was quiet. Kakuzu and Hidan didn't speak. The only one who could move in the field was Kanon.

Even Naruto could only rest his head on Kanon's legs, limp but smiling.

"What are you laughing at, you idiot..."

"I miss it so much." Naruto sighed.

"What do you miss?"

"I always did this before, lying on your lap and looking at the Leaf Village."

“What’s there to miss about this?”

"I just miss you so much, but why did you save me..."

Listening to Naruto's words, Kanon remained silent.

Thinking of her parents and all the tribesmen who were killed by her eldest brother, and even herself being on her kill list, she relied on her own efforts to survive the night of genocide.

I thought I could live a peaceful life in Konoha Village and become good friends with everyone.

But when she was less than 12 years old, Danzo had set his sights on her.

The Root organization assassinated her.

The strongest of the five major nations, the Leaf Ninja Village, is looking for her.

Her former Konoha companions hunted her down.

It was his own fault that Scorpion was killed.

Even Kakashi and Sakura from Team 7 gave up on her.

Now Kanon can no longer see forward and is on the brink of destruction.

She has changed from a friendly and kind girl to a crazy and sick avenger.

Everything that had happened had given up on her, but her best friend and her dearest brother still valued her and kept her in their hearts.

Maybe these are the reasons why Kanon didn't kill Naruto this time, but it is not enough to make her turn back!

"There won't be a next time, Naruto."

Kanon stood up and kicked Naruto aside.

Naruto bared his teeth, but Kanon ignored it.

Even Naruto realized that the wound on his chest had been healed, which was the effect of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Kane..." Just when Naruto was about to say something else, Kanon turned around and punched him. The punch was so powerful that it hit Naruto's abdomen directly.

Naruto spun in the air before collapsing on the ground.

The punch was so powerful that Naruto fainted instantly.

"Kana-chan, aren't you going to kill him?" Feiduan asked.

"He's the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, we can't kill him now."

"That's right, what about the others?"

"I have sensed dozens of Konoha ninjas rushing here. They will arrive in less than a minute. Let's retreat first."

"Okay." Feiduan was helpless. Now his body was blown up and Kanon only found some of his limbs. He would have to find some way to restore his body when he returned.

It was indeed not suitable for him to fight again. Feiduan felt depressed when he thought that it would take at least two or three years for him to recover.

Kanon came to Kakuzu and helped him up.

Naruto staggered to his feet at this moment, looking at Kanon who was about to leave, his expression slightly painful.

This time he still failed to bring Kanon back to Konoha.

Kanon's original mission was to support Hidan and Kakuzu. This time, she rescued the two of them and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them turned into a rose whirlpool and disappeared on the spot.

Naruto looked at everyone around him who, except himself, fell down with serious injuries, and he finally lowered his head.

Although he was the last one in the class, he was not stupid. If Hanane had intended to kill just now, not only him, but also everyone around him would have died.

"Kane, no matter how dark you've fallen into, I will pull you back from the mire of revenge!"

As Naruto spoke, he thought of Sasuke, Kanon's brother. He was too weak last time, but now he finally has the strength to find him.

Finally, the matter came to an end with Akatsuki's retreat. A minute later, dozens of Konoha ninjas arrived and brought back all the injured.

In this battle, two members of Akatsuki were severely injured, but the appearance of Akatsuki's reinforcement Uchiha Kanon caused the plan to annihilate Akatsuki to fail.

But overall it was a great success. At least the morale of the big countries was boosted. It was the first time that Akatsuki was defeated. This example made many people understand that Akatsuki was not invincible.

.......

In the Hidden Rain Village, Konan prepared a house for Hidan and Kakuzu. Kakuzu was seriously injured and needed to rest for half a year to a year. Hidan would need even longer, and it would take at least three years for his body to fully grow back.

After watching Konan calm the two of them down, Pain asked Kanon beside him.

"Xiao Hanane, what are your plans next?"

"Brother, I will not participate in the Tailed Beast Capture Plan for the time being."

Pain nodded. The 15-year-old Uchiha girl in front of him had captured three tailed beasts for him, so she needed to rest now. He would respect that.

"It's almost time for my revenge to begin. I'll have to rest for a while before it begins."

"Next, I need to go and prepare with my brother."

"It seems that Orochimaru's turning technique is about to be performed." Pain reminded.

"With him? I'm not worried at all that my brother's body will be taken over by him."

"My brother is very strong." Hanane said proudly, and then nodded slightly.

"So what are your next actions?" Payne asked.

"To seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi, the beast who brought shame to the Uchiha clan."

"Are you finally here?" Payne asked.

"Well, the time is about right." Hanane nodded.

"I need to make some preparations for this. I'm leaving first, Senior Brother."

"Okay." Payne nodded.

Looking at Kanon's leaving back, Konan frowned and moved closer.

"finally coming?"

"Well, this battle may change everything." Payne said softly.

"In this cursed world, peace is a luxury. Wait, I think she can surpass me and Yahiko and find new answers."

After the voice fell, Payne turned around.

"It's time to prepare to catch Vulpix."

......

Five days later.

Everyone who had recovered from their injuries came to the Hokage's office.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Although the current crisis has been resolved, Akatsuki has not been eliminated yet."

“We must never let our guard down in the future.”

Tsunade turned around, looked at the wound on his hand and asked in confusion: "Naruto, what's the wound on your hand?"

"Although basic treatment has been carried out..." Sakura answered for the hesitant Naruto.

"Just in case, go to Konoha Hospital for a thorough checkup. Your hospital stay will have to be postponed for a few more days."

"I've been too busy these past few days, but I can go check your hand next time."

Tsunade said, looking towards Shikamaru and Kakashi.

"Then both of your classes should take a short break from now on."

"Then disband first!"

......

In the evening, at a ramen shop.

As soon as Kakashi pushed the door open, he found Naruto angrily complaining to Sai.

"What happened?" Kakashi asked puzzled.

"It's rare for Sakura to feed me! You bastard!"

"The book says that when a friend is in trouble, you will stand up and help him. This is a true friend." Sai said softly.

"I'm telling you, check the occasion before you read! It's too big!"

In the end, it was Kakashi who fed Naruto Ichiraku Ramen.

"Teacher Kakashi, this time you didn't sleep soundly in the hospital for a month. It's really rare." Sakura said in surprise.

Kakashi bowed his head helplessly.

"It's a very devastating impression on me."

"However, I only used the Mangekyō Sharingan once during this mission, and was suppressed by Kanon."

"It's so frustrating..." Kakashi spread his hands helplessly.

Hearing Kakashi's sneer, Naruto didn't feel happy at all. Kakashi seemed to see Naruto's mood and he patted Naruto on the shoulder.

"Naruto, you have indeed become stronger. Compared to me, you are better than me."

"But remember, the more powerful the ninjutsu, the more dangerous it is to the caster."

Naruto looked at Kakashi and nodded regretfully.

"Grow stronger slowly." Kakashi patted Naruto's shoulder.

After eating ramen, Naruto and everyone came out. After seeing Konohamaru's Lily Technique, Jiraiya, who had not returned to the village for a long time, came up.

"You guys are still enjoying it as always." Jiraiya smiled.

"Lustful fairy!"

"Oh, you are more energetic than I thought, Naruto." Jiraiya patted Naruto's shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.

"Ah! It's okay now...it hurts." Naruto grimaced again.

"What an idiot! Your bones haven't grown back yet." Sakura said helplessly.

Jiraiya laughed, pointed at Naruto and said, "You haven't changed at all."

Then Jiraiya and Kakashi looked at each other, as if they were discussing some information.
