Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Chapter 397 Yahiko, Nagato and Konan

Midnight,

The lights in the ANBU dungeon were dim, and the long shadows of the people were cast crookedly on the walls and floor.

Zong Xian waved his hand and summoned the ANBU member who was responsible for guarding, and asked him to untie the restraints on Xiaonan. Without restraints, Xiaonan did not do any irrational behavior. This does not mean that she is very knowledgeable, but just Yahiko and Nagato attracted her full attention.

Let her leave at this time,

She won't even get out of this dungeon.

"Nagato, Konan, and Jiraiya-sensei... what on earth is going on?"

The young man with orange hair looked around with a confused look on his face.

I can't understand what this situation is at all?Why was Xiaonan tied up?Why are there so many black sticks stuck in Nagato's body?What is Mr. Jiraiya doing?If you remember correctly, he should be dead?

"Yahiko? Are you really Yahiko?"

Konan murmured.

"Maybe it's true, right? Although I remember that I had to die." Yahiko raised his hand and scratched his cheek, not looking very confident.

like that,

that gesture,

That kind of speaking tone,

The memories of Konan and Nagato overlapped.

In the eyes of his former partners in the Akatsuki organization, leader Yahiko is a strong, confident, and decisive leader. However, only a few people such as Nagato and Konan know that Yahiko often doubts whether his decisions are appropriate and often suffers from insomnia. Nagato, Konan and the others had no choice but to keep cheering for Yahiko in private.

"Yahiko!!"

Konan's hands were shaking.

She had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say, but looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, she couldn't utter a complete sentence, so she just shouted out her name with difficulty.

"it's me."

A warm smile appeared on Yahiko's face.

He nodded slightly towards Xiaonan.

As the true founder of the Akatsuki organization and the hero who led the Akatsuki organization to resist the tyranny of Amegakure Village at that time, Yahiko is not the kind of idiot protagonist who has no other merits except his blood. He is very smart and sees that Xiaonan is hiding in There was fatigue and pain deep in his eyes.

Realizing the years after his death,

Xiaonan's life was very hard.

As for Nagato... Just looking at the black stick crossing the back of his head, I guess this idiot died like him, right?Sure enough, you still couldn't escape from Sansho Hanzo's hands?At that time, Sanshouyu Hanzo captured Xiaonan and set a trap to surround them.

At that time, Yahiko realized that he was in a desperate situation, and he had to accept Sansho Hanzo's request that he die and Konan live. Furthermore, he believed that Nagato, who possessed the Samsara Eye, would eventually become a bridge to peace, so he took the initiative to go there. die······

Just judging from the current situation,

Nagato seems to be finished with him?

In the end, only Xiaonan survived?

"Nagato, were you killed by Sansho Hanzo?" Yahiko asked aloud.

"what?"

Nagato was stunned by the question.

"Isn't it?"

Yahiko blinked in confusion.

"No, no, I...Sansho Hanzo is dead, and you...killed me with my own hands." Nagato's tongue was almost tied, Sansho Hanzo was admired Those who En killed can be said to have been killed by Nagato, or they can be said to have died at the hands of Yahiko.

"then you?"

"My story is... quite complicated."

Nagato said with a wry smile.

in this situation,

It was completely beyond his expectation.

"Then speak slowly."

Zongxian interrupted at this time.

"Excuse me, your Excellency..." Yahiko looked over curiously. From the very beginning, he noticed Sosen and Yakushi Kabuto, but he didn't figure out the situation and didn't rush to contact each other. But since Sosen took the initiative to talk to them, Yes, he took advantage of the situation and asked.

"Uchiha Sogen, currently the Sixth Hokage of Konoha Village."

Zongxian briefly introduced himself.

at the end,

He added: "Also, this is the dungeon of Konoha Village. Generally no outsiders will break into this place without my permission. You can talk here with confidence."

Yahiko was stunned for two seconds, and his expression suddenly became weird again.

Good guy,

Why does this situation seem to be getting more and more confusing?The Sixth Generation Hokage... If I remember correctly, when he died, Konoha Village was still in charge of the Third Generation Hokage, who was known as the 'Ninja Hero'. He was the teacher of Jiraiya-sensei and could be regarded as their master. .

As a result, in the blink of an eye,

Why is it the Sixth Generation?

Teacher Jiraiya next to him didn't deny it. It didn't look like he was lying. From the third generation to the sixth generation... If Konan hadn't turned into a wrinkled little old lady, it would be hard not to doubt him. Half a century has passed since the death.

And the dungeon of Konoha Village?

Yahiko rolled his eyes again and looked around. Even if this sealed environment was not a dungeon, it was definitely a similar place. So why did his group appear in such a place?Considering Konan's previous situation of being restrained by a straitjacket, is it going to be a war with Konoha?Lost and captured?

Seeing that Zong Xian didn't want to say anything more,

Yahiko knew enough not to ask further questions, but turned to look at Nagato and Konan.

"Konan, can you tell me what's going on? And, Nagato, please tell me too! Anyway, from the looks of it, we shouldn't be short of time." Yahiko looked around, and Yakushi Kabuto was very appropriate. He stretched out his hand and motioned to follow, leading Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan to the offices of the jailers in the dungeon.

The black stick on Nagato's body was taken off by Zong Xian.

In the past, the black rod was driven into Nagato's body to prevent him from going berserk. But now that Yahiko has a limiter, the black rod is no longer needed to restrain Nagato. No, even if the black rod is removed, Nagato The combat power was restored, but he did not decisively launch an attack.

Instead, he followed Yahiko and walked behind Kabuto Yakushi just as obediently as Konan.

Jiraiya looked at the backs of Yahiko and others quietly, and waited until the backs disappeared around the corner of the corridor, then asked: "Sogen, is this your method?"

"That's right. Since I can't convince Xiaonan, can I just find someone else who can convince her?"

Zong Xian put his hands behind his back and said in a leisurely tone:

"Forbidden arts are not all bad. In the final analysis, forbidden arts are just a prop. If you use them properly, you will be good, and if you use them evil, you will be evil. Is a sharp blade used to kill people like hemp or to chop melons? Cutting vegetables depends on the choice of the knife wielder, at least that's the case with most forbidden arts."

at the moment,

Gu Yu looks very good.

In vain, he ordered Shisui and the others to clean the battlefield and pull out Payne from the ruins. Then Yakushi Kabuto used the cell tissue extracted from Payne to use the art of reincarnation from the dirty soil to summon Yahiko, who had been dead for many years, from the underworld. Back.

"How are you sure Yahiko will help you convince Konan?"

"I'm not sure."

Zong Xian shrugged nonchalantly, "It would be best if this thing succeeds. Even if it fails... I have a backup plan."

Jiraiya was speechless.

Just a try?

"Of course, judging from the information I have investigated, the possibility of success is not small! Yahiko was the real spiritual core of the Akatsuki organization back then. Sansho Hanzo did not hesitate to join forces with Danzo to get rid of Yahiko... The Akatsuki organization It was only after Yahiko’s death that it gradually degenerated into a dangerous organization.”

"...You're right. If Yahiko had been there, maybe...things wouldn't be like this."

Jiraiya let out a long sigh.

Although he had determined in the past that Nagato, who had the Samsara Eye, was the prophesied son of the Great Toad Sage, he could also see clearly that among the three of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, Yahiko was the undoubted core. His talent in ninjutsu training is the worst, but his personality charm is not inferior to Minato at all.

Nagato's beliefs were deeply influenced by Yahiko.

That is a position that even a teacher like him cannot replace.

Unfortunately,

Yahiko died.

Without Yahiko to light the way forward, Nagato and Konan went astray without looking back at the instigation of ill-intentioned people.

"What if, I mean what if, what if Yahiko really convinced Konan to cooperate with the village? Zongxian, what are you going to do? Are you going to annex Amegakure Village or abolish it?" Jiraiya looked over, and he looked at Zongxian. String, trying to figure out the thoughts of the Sixth Generation Hokage.

Do you go to great lengths to do such a thing?

What exactly is to be done?

Is it to consolidate the current status of Konoha Village?Or...is there another plan?

"From now on, there is nothing worthy of my attention in Rain Hidden Village. Abolition of Rain Hidden Village makes no sense to me. However, the land of Rain Kingdom... after all, needs a It is controlled by a powerful organization, and as a strategic location connecting the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, it is a good thing for Amegakure Village to be close to our Konoha."

Zongxian said.

This is not a lie.

The reason why he did not hesitate to use the art of reincarnation to try to win over the Amegakure Village was to make the Amegakure Village a vassal of Konoha. On the one hand, this was to fulfill the duties of the Hokage, and on the other hand, it was also to facilitate his next steps. act.

Even though Yuyin Village seems to be in a state of disrepair now,

But in fact the vitality was not damaged.

Under Pain's rule, the Rain Hidden Village has actually lived a very good life in these years, and its overall strength has also developed to a certain extent. Even though it is still unable to compete with the Rain Hidden Village that dreamed of becoming the sixth largest ninja village in its heyday under the command of Sanshouyu Hanzo. Comparable to Hidden Village.

But it can be regarded as a powerful ninja village second only to the five major ninja villages.

Such an ally,

It still has some weight.

It will come in handy later...

Zong Xian thought secretly for a moment. He had a general outline of the future events in his mind, but it was not very clear yet. It would take time to sort it out. At the same time, there was still a lot of preparation work to be done, and things about Yuyin Village It can be regarded as one of the preparations for a rainy day.

"...that's it!"

Jiraiya took a deep look at Zong Xian and gave up questioning.

No thorough questioning.

No matter what, Munexun is still the Sixth Hokage. There is no need to explain everything to this old guy. As long as it does not harm the interests of Konoha, the Hokage is free to do anything. It is better to say that he can move freely. Thanks to Zong Xian for giving him face.

otherwise,

Zong Xian can definitely assign tasks to him.

Jiraiya was able to travel around the ninja world without losing his identity as a Konoha ninja, not because of any privileges he enjoyed, but because of the acquiescence of the past Hokage. The Third Hokage was his teacher, the Fourth Hokage was his disciple, and the Fifth Hokage was his disciple. He is also related to him and can be regarded as his uncle.

At the same time, Konoha at that time could not afford to lose Jiraiya.

So no one would bother Jiraiya,

But Zongxian is different,

There is no such complicated and unclear relationship between him and Jiraiya.

He can give Jiraiya the right to move freely out of respect in his heart, but if he doesn't want to let Jiraiya have such a valuable combat power, he can also force Jiraiya to return to the village to accept orders. The Hokage has This authority.

Of course, Jiraiya can also be disobedient and disrespectful.

But if it really comes to that point, Zongxuan can deprive Jiraiya of his identity as a Konoha ninja. Although doing so will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Zongxuan, Jiraiya is quite popular in the village. As long as he nods, a large number of people will support him to succeed as Hokage.

but,

That is the past.

Now this situation,

Sogen is in great power, and the Uchiha clan is also at its peak. Jiraiya will not get into trouble with Sogen at this time, and he has no need to cause trouble with Sogen. He is heartbroken about what happened to Konan, but this It doesn't mean that he will ignore the interests of the village for Xiaonan.

"Time... has passed for a while."

Zongxian put the thoughts in his mind to rest and said with a smile: "Senior Jiraiya, let's go over and have a look! I wonder how those conversations went? I hope they don't live up to my expectations."

"There should be a good result."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and walked side by side with Zong Xian. The two came to the office used by the jailers on weekdays.

Standing at the door,

You can feel the weird atmosphere in the room.

Nagato and Konan stood in front of Yahiko like students from a ninja school who had made mistakes. Their awkward postures were definitely not false. Yahiko was sitting on a chair, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face. He kept sighing.

until--

Sogen and Jiraiya arrive.

"This is... Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, how was your chat?"

Feeling the weird atmosphere in the office, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask.

"Teacher Jiraiya!"

Yahiko stood up, faced Jiraiya, and said with a wry smile: "I have generally understood what stupid things Nagato and Konan have done in the years since my death. ." Jiraiya was convinced after hearing such an argument, and indeed Yahiko did not disappoint him.

When Nagato and Konan heard this, they

But the spirit shriveled like an eggplant beaten by frost.
