Chapter 73 August and Mavis's Meeting
As soon as August called out Mavis's name, Payne understood immediately.
So he knew Mavis after all. He turned slightly to look at Mavis behind him, whose expression was somewhat complicated.
By this time, Mavis had also recovered from the shock of seeing August at first sight. She slowly stepped forward, looked directly at August whose face was expressionless, and asked, "How did you end up here, August? Did Zeref send you?"
After a moment of silence, August said, "I appeared here suddenly. I thought I was dead. How is Your Majesty now?"
Is it really unrelated to Jelf?
A flicker of surprise crossed Mavis's eyes, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to her chin as she pondered: Not only had she been resurrected, but she also seemed to have just arrived in the ninja world, and the time span was different from hers and Zeref's...
As Mavis was deep in thought, Kakuzu and Hidan, who were lying on the ground, gradually began to move.
As expected of the immortal duo, they really have some skills when it comes to resistance.
Hidan, who was covered in burns and hadn't even managed to injure August during the battle, and thus couldn't even unleash his signature ninjutsu, Death Possession Blood, got up from the ground in great frustration.
He looked up at August and gritted his teeth as he said, "Damn it, you bastard... I'm going to kill you!"
"Idiot! If you're going to keep courting death, don't drag me down with you!" Kakuzu, who had also gotten up, touched his chest with lingering fear.
Under August's attack, his five hearts were almost burned to ashes.
—If August had continued to make moves just now.
"When did such a powerful figure emerge in the ninja world?" Kakuzu stared intently at August, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.
"It's like you're saying it's all my fault. You still wanted this guy's heart later, so you took the initiative to do it!" Hidan replied with dissatisfaction.
Why does Kakuzu act like everyone was implicated because of him?
Kakuzu: ...Why is this guy so smart when he shouldn't be...?
Pain and Konan overheard Kakuzu and Hidan's conversation and understood immediately. Sure enough, these two had acted recklessly and ended up running into a tough opponent.
Augustus looked at Kakuzu and Hidan, who, despite their serious injuries, had managed to stand up again, and his eyes turned slightly cold.
He then looked at Pain and Konan, who were standing next to Mavis and wearing the same Akatsuki robes as Kakuzu and Hidan, and his brows furrowed again.
August looked at Mavis and reminded her, "These two guys are no different from members of the Dark Guild. If I hadn't encountered them, I probably would have been killed by them for no reason long ago. How did you end up with their accomplices?"
Mavis paused, frowned, glanced at Kakuzu and Hidan, and said to August, "This is a long story... First, I need to tell you, August, that we are no longer in Asland, but in another world..."
......
"So that's how it is. Acnologia has also come to the ninja world? No wonder you have dealings with these guys."
Augustus, who had discovered that he was in another world, frowned and said.
As Mavis listened to August's words, that strange feeling resurfaced in her heart.
The way you're saying this makes it sound like August is more concerned about her having dealings with these people he considers dangerous.
Unable to resist looking at August again, Mavis continued, "What are your plans now? Are you planning to go find Zeref?"
Although she asked the question, Mavis had already basically concluded in her heart that August would go to see Jelf.
After all, he is one of the Twelve Shields who guard Zeref, so it is only natural that he wants to go to Zeref's side.
Before August could answer, Hidan, who had been listening to the otherworldly talk but only vaguely understood it, couldn't help but shout, "Hey, boss, you can't let this guy get away! I'm going to offer him up as a sacrifice to the evil god!!"
Payne, however, had a sudden thought as he looked at the exceptionally powerful August.
Although Augustus and Mavis seem to be on opposing sides, they seem to share the same goal of dealing with Acnologia. I wonder if it's possible to recruit them into the Akatsuki...
With that in mind, Pain, on a whim, asked, "Ogast, right? During your time in the ninja world, would you like to join the Akatsuki?"
"Pain?" Konan looked at Pain in surprise and asked with some doubt.
They only had a vague understanding of August's background and strength. Was it really a good idea to let him join the Akatsuki organization so rashly?
Although she had some reservations, Konan, who was used to following Yahiko's ideas in the past and then Nagato's ideas later, did not publicly refute Pain's decision.
Her entire life was dedicated to supporting Yahiko and Nagato.
Hidan, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at Pain in disbelief. Just as he was about to speak again, Kakuzu covered his mouth and dragged him aside, leaving only indistinct words like "How...how could...let...in...the...organization" escaping along with Hidan's struggling movements.
August looked at Payne, who seemed to be the leader of the organization, with a calm expression and did not speak. Instead, he glanced at Mavis for some reason.
Mavis paused, then instinctively said, "I didn't join Akatsuki; I just wanted to rally more forces to fight Acnologia..."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, August turned his attention back to Payne and said in a deep voice, "I'm not interested in your organization's affairs, nor will I follow anyone else, but,"
At this point, August paused for a moment before continuing, "If you don't mind, I hope to stay in Akatsuki for a while, just like Mavis."
"Huh?!" Mavis exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.
......
Inside Amegakure, Itachi and Kisame stood at the village entrance, watching a group of people slowly approaching from afar.
"Oh dear, what happened, Kakuzu, Hidan? You two look rather disheveled," Kisame said with a smirk.
Itachi Uchiha also looked at Kakuzu and Hidan. The two of them were not only disheveled, but also miserable, as if they had gone through a fierce battle.
Moreover, it was clear that they were the defeated side. Uchiha Itachi's gaze shifted slightly and instantly fell on the unfamiliar figure among them—Ogast, who seemed to be the most likely to seriously injure Kakuzu and Hidan at the moment.
