Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Chapter 172 A third party intervenes

Watching Yahiko falling into his arms, Nagato's mind went blank.

He held Yahiko's body and knelt on the ground weakly.

Boom——

Thunder roared and the rain fell even harder.

Hanzo looked at Yahiko's corpse and the insane Nagato and couldn't help but sneer.

"Heh... With such a fragile organization and such a fragile leader, talking about peace is nothing but wishful thinking."

With that, Hanzo threw Konan back to Nagato.

"I'll take you downstairs to reunite."

Swish-

Two kunai were thrown, heading straight for Nagato and Konan.

bang——

The kunai transformed and flew away, and an invisible force blocked Nagato and Konan.

"What..."

Hanzo frowned.

He took a step back and his body collapsed, but he didn't notice any other helpers from Akatsuki around him.

The sadness on Nagato's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an almost ruthless numbness.

Boom boom boom——

The ground was shaking, and Hanzo, realizing the situation was not good, launched an explosive fire array towards the two men and quickly retreated.

bang——

A huge and ferocious stone statue rose from the ground and stood behind Nagato.

Nagato raised his head and looked at Hanzo, his eyes filled with hatred.

Tsk-tsk-

The heretic demon statue saw the light of day again, and like a ferocious beast that chose its prey, it began to absorb the souls of those present.

Countless souls rose to the sky and gathered towards the heretic demon statue.

The faint pulling feeling made Hanzo no longer hesitate at all, and he turned around and ran.

Detonate!

boom--

The explosive fire array caused an explosion instantly under Hanzo's control, and Hanzo himself quickly fled the scene.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only two people were left alive.

"Nagato."

Konan sobbed as she looked at Nagato's ruthless expression, and was a little hesitant to approach him. Nagato turned his head and looked at Konan. The ripples in his eyes returned to calm, his eyelids drooped, and the sadness in his eyes was indescribable.

Snapped--

The first time Nagato used the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue, he became exhausted and fainted, falling to the ground.

On the periphery, Hatake Sakumo looked in shock at the Outer Path Statue that was slowly releasing its spiritual power. The evil power that absorbed souls was so terrifying that he didn't dare to get too close.

When Akatsuki was asked to meet with Hanzo, he noticed something was wrong.

Hanzo is a pure fighter. Even when he is old, he gradually begins to yearn for strategy and loses the fighting spirit of his youth, but Hanzo is still not an idealist. How could he agree with the core values ​​of Akatsuki?

But Sakumo never demonstrated his martial arts skills, nor did he enter the core of Akatsuki. He just did odd jobs on the periphery and observed slowly.

Things turned out just as he expected, Hanzo attacked Akatsuki, but in the end Hanzo escaped!

Konan sat on the ground and slowly crawled towards Nagato. Looking at the unconscious Nagato, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

That year, my brothers and I were full of ambition, but now we have ended up like this.

The Akatsuki organization, which brought together a large number of ninjas and civilians, was wiped out in just a few hours, leaving only two people.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Konan crawled out of the mud. She wanted to take Nagato and Yahiko back.

"Forehead..."

Konan is relatively weak and not very strong. It is already very difficult for her to barely carry Nagato. As for Yahiko, she can only wrap him in a raincoat and drag him forward.

Carrying Nagato in one hand and dragging Yahiko with the other, Konan trudged through the mud, with puddles at every step. She stopped after only taking a few steps.

A figure was walking towards us from a distance.

Her face was full of vigilance, even though tears left traces of vulnerability on her face, but now, she was the only one who could protect Nagato and Yahiko's bodies.

The figure was getting closer and closer, until Hatake Sakumo walked in front of Konan, but Konan still didn't move.

"Kong Chen, the Akatsuki organization is gone, you can leave now."

Xiaonan knew this man. Although he was an outer member, he usually did what he could silently like an old cow, and he was not a ninja.

But now, anyone who shows up could be a potential threat.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with the battle, but perhaps I can help you carry the commander back, otherwise the body will wear out."

Sakumo pointed at Yahiko.

In fact, it is more difficult to carry Nagato, but Konan is very vigilant, so he can only choose to help carry Yahiko back, after all, Yahiko is already dead.

Konan stared at Hatake Sakumo and nodded slightly after a while. It was too difficult for her to drag the two of them back by herself. Hanzo might make a surprise attack and they would all die.

Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked to Konan, picked up Yahiko's body from the ground, and carried it on his shoulders.

Coming out at this time was something Shuomao had just planned.

Although the Akatsuki organization is gone, the idealist Yahiko is not worthy of Sakumo's attention. Instead, it is Nagato and those eyes on Konan's shoulder that are what Sakumo considers important.

And there's that giant psychic monster.

Sakumo felt that even if the Akatsuki organization was gone, Nagato was still alive. This guy's information might be useful and might be able to help Konoha in the future.

Moreover, he remembered what Mr. Kozo had said to him when he left Konoha. Perhaps, Akatsuki or Nagato was the reason Mr. Kozo hinted that he should come to Amegakure.

Sakumo and Konan carried one on each side, walking towards the outside of the Rain Village.

There were countless corpses lying along the way, including members of the Akatsuki organization and Rain Ninja, but no one was alive. Even those who survived the battle had their souls absorbed by the Outer Path Demon Statue. The entire intersection was littered with corpses, like hell.

"where u from."

The two walked in silence, and Konan suddenly asked Sakumo.

Among the three members of Akatsuki, Konan is actually the smartest and most careful one.

Although she was not familiar with this guy named Kong Chen, after a few brief encounters, Xiaonan discovered that although this person had never used force and did not look like a ninja, he did not look like a person from the Rain Country.

The silent people in the Rain Country are usually numb, but Kong Chen is very motivated, which is a good thing for the Akatsuki organization, but it is not normal.

"I don't know. I woke up just north of the village. I've lost my memory. Even the name was given to me by a passing merchant."

Sakumo said half-seriously.

Konan nodded, her doubts growing stronger, but at the moment she let her guard down against Sakumo.

Regardless of whether what Sakumo said was true or false, his statement at least meant that he had no thoughts about Konan, Yahiko, or Nagato.

......

Three days later, Nagato slowly opened his eyes, stood up expressionlessly, and looked around.

The familiar environment was the shabby house where they had lived before the establishment of Akatsuki. He had been lying here before his eyes awakened, and now he woke up here again.

"Nagato, you're awake."

Konan pulled aside the door curtain and looked at Nagato.

Just when Nagato was about to say something, Hatake Sakumo's head popped out from behind Konan. He was more than a head taller than Konan, and it looked like his chin was resting on Konan's head.

This almost caused Nagato to summon the Outer Path Demon Statue again.

One of the characters in the heart-wrenching love triangle has already died. Nagato, feeling guilty towards Yahiko, will probably never have a happy ending with Konan. But that doesn't mean that you, an uncle who's not even a ninja, can come in as the fourth person!

I was unconscious for only a short time! I'm not dead!

Sora-chan, right?!
