Chapter 328 Konan and Nagato were tricked
Konan didn't know how long she had been flying. Her body was exhausted, and she had very little chakra left, but she dared not stop.
Ōnoki and Rasa behind them may have given up the chase, or they may not.
But in any case, she had to leave with Nagato, the farther the better.
She only slowed down when the familiar village came into view.
"Nagato...Nagato!" she called softly, but there was no response.
Her heart clenched, and she quickly laid Nagato down. Thankfully, he was still breathing.
Konan bit her lip and fed the few remaining medicines to Nagato. She wasn't a medical ninja, and this was all she could do.
All three of them were indispensable, but Yahiko knew nothing about it. Konan wiped away her tears and carried Nagato on her back again.
They can't win; they must rush back to Amegakure and take Yahiko with them.
The Land of Rain could no longer hold out. It was not because of a lack of conviction or strength, but because of a conspiracy.
Konan helped Nagato up and quickly walked towards the village, but she was thinking about how to start the conversation.
We can't hold on any longer. We must leave, abandon the Land of Rain, and abandon our dreams.
How would Yahiko respond?
She knows him too well.
He would definitely smile and say it's okay, then stay behind alone to plug that hole with his own flesh and blood.
So this time, she won't give him a choice.
Even if it means knocking someone unconscious, he will take them away. Even if he gets angry or disappointed afterward, she will keep him alive.
Because being alive is more important than anything else.
Amegakure is just ahead.
When Xiao Nan saw the dilapidated houses in the distance, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
They came here with dreams, hoping to change the world and change war.
But now, they haven't accomplished anything.
As she entered the village, she sensed that something was amiss; a depressing silence permeated the air.
Konan looked around warily. None of the ninjas who should have been on guard at the village entrance were to be seen. Several kunai were scattered on the ground, as if a hasty battle had taken place.
"Nagato, wake up...we're here." She gently patted Nagato on the back.
Nagato opened his eyes with difficulty, the Rinnegan markings in his pupils dim and lifeless.
He turned his head with difficulty to see his surroundings, his voice hoarse and almost inaudible: "...Where's Yahiko?"
"I'll go find him right now."
Konan helped Nagato to a spot under the eaves and said, "Wait for me here, don't move."
She had just stood up when a staggering figure came stumbling out of the alley.
With a sob in her voice, Changxin cried out, "Konan, Nagato! Why did it take you so long to come back?!"
He was covered in blood, his clothes were torn in several places, his face was covered in dust and tear stains, and his hair was messy and stuck to his forehead.
He tripped and fell while running over, but got up again, looking extremely disheveled.
That's right. In order to make the performance more realistic, he cooperated with the Root ninjas to carry out another surprise attack, killing many of his own people. The others are currently dealing with the bodies.
After all, Konan and Nagato aren't fools; it won't be easy to fool them.
"What happened?"
"Yesterday, Konoha ninjas stormed in... so many, so many... we couldn't stop them at all..."
"Konoha ninja?" A thought suddenly popped into Konan's mind. Even if they weren't allies, they shouldn't be acting like this...
Is this what a so-called great power is? They never intended to give the Rain Kingdom a chance to rise up. Wars between nations are terrifying.
It was all betrayal!
"Yahiko...Yahiko..." Nagatoshi cried and couldn't continue.
"What happened to Yahiko? Tell me quickly!"
Changxin raised his tear-streaked face, his voice broken: "He was... he was captured by the people of Konoha!"
These words struck Xiao Nan like a heavy hammer blow. She staggered back a step, her mind blank.
They've been arrested?
"Impossible..." Xiao Nan murmured, "When did this happen? Who did it? Where is he now?"
"Last night...they broke into the hospital, we fought back desperately, but...but the leader was too strong, many of our brothers died..."
Changxin sobbed uncontrollably, "It's all my fault, I couldn't protect him... Xiao Nan, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Nagato struggled to her feet from under the eaves, leaning against the wall as she walked over step by step.
His eyes were bloodshot and red, churning with a terrifying emotion.
"Who is it?"
Danzo.
At that moment, a Root ninja wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared in front of them.
He casually tossed it aside, and the cloth bag fell apart, revealing a section of a finger.
"You all deserve to die..." Nagato roared, but his arm was held down firmly by a hand as soon as he raised it.
"Nagato, calm down! You can't kill him! Yahiko is still in their hands!"
Nagato suppressed his anger and lowered his hand.
The Root ninja spoke expressionlessly, like a machine:
"Our Lord Danzo has told you to go to the designated location to negotiate peace. If you don't come, you should know the consequences."
At this moment, the other Rain Ninjas came out, furious, but none of them dared to stop them.
Before leaving, the Root ninja shoved one of them aside, saying, "You little Amegakure ninjas, I bet you wouldn't dare."
Suddenly, rain began to fall, and everyone lowered their heads, like stray dogs.
"Xiao Nan, this is a trap, you can't go there," Chang Xin said from the side.
But she didn't respond. Instead, she slowly squatted down, picked up the cloth bag from the ground, carefully wrapped the severed finger, and pressed it against her chest.
The movements were very gentle, as if handling some fragile treasure.
Then she looked up at Nagato.
Nagato leaned against the wall, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.
His face showed no anger, no sadness, only a chilling calm.
"Nagato," Konan called his name.
Nagato raised his eyes, his Rinnegan meeting her gaze.
As if they were on some kind of unspoken agreement, the two suddenly smiled, because they knew it was a trap and they might never return, but they had to go, since Yahiko was an inseparable part of them.
Xiao Nan turned around and said, "Chang Xin, you stay here. If... if none of the three of us return, you take the rest of the people and return to Dawn City. Remember, live well, and don't think about avenging us. The Land of Rain cannot be defended."
"Konan, Nagato, why...why do you all have to go there?!"
"Because we once swore an oath with Yahiko that we would die together, even if it meant death."
She looked up, as if recalling something, "So we must bring him back, even if it means death."
Xiao Nan and the other person left.
Suppressing his excitement, Nagato thought to himself, "Hehehe, Nagato, you will be my strongest weapon."
