Chapter 265: Planting a Nail in Konoha

Kakashi instantly suppressed his emotions, making himself appear calm and composed.

Because after confirming Hatake Sakumo's identity, he knew that his biological father must be carrying out some secret mission, and his breaking into the Rain Country was already a bad thing, and he couldn't make this kind of betrayal worse.

Seeing Kakashi's instant change from excitement to calmness, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

As expected of his son, with such reaction ability, Kakashi has grown into a qualified ninja.

"Boy, leave the Rain Country. I don't think I need to repeat to you for the third time that outsiders are not welcome here, especially Konoha's ninjas."

Hatake Sakumo said coldly.

At this moment, Kakashi realized that they were under surveillance.

The more crisis there was, the more Kakashi realized that he couldn't give in easily. If he did, he would be more suspected.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rain Ninja, but we are not at war right now. Are you trying to start a war with Konoha?"

Hatake Sakumo twitched the corners of his mouth.

This brat.

"It is Konoha, not Amegakure, that wants to start a war. Boy, ninjas are not playing house. Whoever is right will win."

Swah——

Another kunai slashed across Kakashi's cheek, taking away a strand of his white hair.

"Get out of Rain Village, now."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, feeling the slight heat on his cheeks, and couldn't help but smile under his mask.

It is true.

"Humph."

Kakashi snorted and turned to leave the Rain Village.

To find out what was going on with Kabuto, he had no choice but to return to Konoha to ask the Fourth Hokage. And now, he had a more important matter to investigate, which was what mission Hatake Sakumo was carrying out, why he had pretended to be dead for several years without a sound, and was hiding in the Land of Rain.

Looking at Kakashi's leaving figure, Hatake Sakumo was a little dazed for a moment. When he was favored by Gu Zang and faked his death, he also watched Kakashi's back as he left.

At that time, Kakashi was still very small and his back was staggering, but now, he has grown taller and his back is extremely determined.

......

Underground in the Kingdom of Rain.

"Kong Chen, why don't you kill him?"

Pain asked expressionlessly, with Konan standing beside him.

"Yahiko, have you forgotten?"

Yahiko's words stunned Nagato, who was hiding behind Pain.

"The ultimate goal of Akatsuki is to create peace, and the reason I joined Akatsuki was because even though I was useless back then, I was treated kindly by Yahiko."

Silence, both Pain and Konan were silent.

"Death is inevitable on the road to success, but those innocent people, those who died unnecessarily, deserve to see the final peace. Pain, no, Nagato, that child is not my son. Even if he is, it makes no difference. He is just a young man, just like us back then."

Pain looked at Hatake Sakumo indifferently, while Nagato, who was hiding behind Pain, was already covering his chest and shedding tears.

Yahiko's death is his eternal pain. If it weren't for covering his eyes, if he had exploded earlier and wasn't so cowardly, Yahiko wouldn't have died...

"Understood, Sora-Chen, go get Kakuzu back."

Konan naturally knew Nagato's condition, and after being speechless, she gave orders.

Hatake Sakumo nodded, turned around and left.

After Sakumo left, Konan looked at Pain with some concern.

Yahiko was already dead, and if Nagato fell again, she would be left alone, and there would be no hope for her to continue.

Payne's expression remained stiff, but his tone changed.

"It's okay, Konan... We're not wrong, are we?"

Such an uncertain tone made Konan feel distressed. It only took Nagato one night to go from being ignorant and cowardly to being strong and persistent, but the growth brought about by this too short span came at a huge cost.

"No, Nagato, we are right."

Konan hugged Pain gently.

It was like hugging Yahiko and Nagato at the same time, just like back then.

Trying hard to control Yahiko's body, he smiled and swore in his heart that Yahiko must also see the day of true peace.

......

Tread-tap-

Ding--

As the footsteps approached, a thousand swords flew out and stopped the footsteps.

Scorpion was dealing with the Fei Liuhu that had not been repaired from the last fight, and was adding new scrolls to Fei Liuhu's body.

The sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted him.

A thousand books were thrown out, and the Scorpion Emperor looked behind him with an expressionless face.

A child?

Scorpion tilted his head. Although he looked younger than Kabuto, he never considered himself a child.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"who I am......"

Under Dou's round-frame glasses, a pair of confused eyes seemed to be unable to find home, like a lost child.

"who I am?"

Seeing Kabuto like this, Scorpion couldn't help but frown.

Why is there another one with amnesia? Are there so many people with amnesia in the ninja world these days?

But how many ninjas suffer from amnesia? They are either alive and well or dead. Amnesia is really rare. How could another one appear in the Land of Rain?

Crack, crack, crack—whoosh—

Fei Liuhu's long tail shot out instantly, wrapped up Dou and hung him in the air.

And Kabuto showed no intention of resisting at all, as if he was not a ninja.

Scorpion looked him up and down, but couldn't see any trace of a ninja on Kabuto's body, whether it was the degree of friction on the skin or the degree of physical exercise.

"Want to know who you are? Let me see."

The violent chakra penetrated into Kabuto's brain like a robber breaking into a house. Due to his research on human puppets, Scorpion knew the structure of the human body very well, but the brain was still not a place where he could easily act.

Therefore, this kind of violent cutting of chakra is almost done with the intention of killing the opponent and finding out something.

But Kabuto still offered no resistance, his eyes still looking confused and helpless.

"There's chakra..."

Scorpion frowned.

Although the amount of chakra is not much, there is chakra in Kabuto's body.

In other words, even if Kabuto wasn't a ninja, there must have been ninjas among his elders.

If his people were ordinary people for generations and there was no chakra training method, it would be impossible for chakra to exist in Kabuto's body.

Maybe some people are born with chakra, but such talent is too rare.

puff-

After a while, Kabuto's body was thrown to the ground by Scorpion, and he was already unconscious.

"His memory was artificially erased. He only has memories of what happened after Mount Kikyo. Was it to prevent counterintelligence? ...Poor boy."

From Kabuto's memory, Scorpion discovered something.

In Konoha, there was a guy named Kakashi. He had fought with that guy...

"In that case, I'll just plant a nail in Konoha..."

......
