Konoha's Balanced Ninja System

Although Itachi's voice was very plain, it was extremely intimidating.

After the words fell, Xiao Nan, who was already ready to take action at any time, paused involuntarily.

However, Nagato was extremely important and irreplaceable in Konan's heart, so in the end he gritted his teeth and waved his right hand, and the paper-condensed shuriken immediately exploded towards Itachi's position.

"quack."

With a few crows' cries, Itachi's body spread out on the spot, and all the paper shurikens were thrown away.

A drop of cold sweat formed on Xiaonan's forehead, and she stared ahead cautiously, then clenched her right fist.

All the flying paper shurikens opened up the moment they were thrown into the air, revealing the detonating talisman hidden inside.

"bang"

The violent explosion, the rising fire and smoke directly submerged all the crows who had not had time to leave, and brought with them a burst of blood.

Seeing this, Xiaonan looked slightly relaxed.

Even if Itachi wasn't killed, he should have been seriously injured, Konan thought.

Waiting for the smoke to disperse, Xiaonan's expression suddenly became unnatural before she could see clearly.

Because by this time, Itachi's figure had slowly appeared from behind her.

At the same time, a sharp kunai was pressed against her neck, which was as thin as white paper.

how come

Xiaonan's pupils trembled slightly, feeling unbelievable.

Because she could see clearly just now that the explosion had obviously injured Itachi. Why did it suddenly become like this?

Itachi stood indifferently behind Konan, and Magatama's eyes were even more eye-catching in the dark night.

illusion

Xiaonan suddenly woke up.

"I would be concerned if it were Payne, but you are far from my opponent."

Itachi spoke calmly.

"Hmph, since that's the case, it's better to stop talking nonsense and kill him if you want."

At this point, it was obvious that there was no hope of breaking out. Itachi's strength was indeed as unfathomable as she had speculated before. At this time, Konan was also ready to die. In fact, Konan had already felt this way when she saw Nagato being seriously injured and almost dying. get ready.

But after Konan finished speaking, the sharp kunai did not stab her, but instead withdrew it.

"why"

Konan couldn't understand Itachi's behavior.

"Penn has become like this, there is no need to kill you."

Itachi said calmly, ducking in front of Konan again, "The most important thing is, I want to know what happened to Payne."

"Hmph, are you really protecting Konoha now? This sudden change is really hard to understand."

Konan was telling the truth, because as far as she knew, Itachi was a Konoha-level rebellious ninja who attacked and killed his entire clan. Such cruel behavior could not be overstated to say that he was a madman, so of course he could not understand Itachi's behavior.

"You don't need to understand, because I have always been protecting Konoha."

Itachi replied calmly upon hearing this.

"you"

Itachi's answer exceeded Konan's expectations, and he also understood why this guy wanted to join the Akatsuki organization.

"You bastard"

Konan cursed angrily, because she finally understood why the capture of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki had stalled.

In response to Konan's scolding, Itachi's expression did not change at all and remained as calm as ever.

"That may be true for you."

When he said this, Itachi's voice suddenly became softer, as if he was talking to himself, lost in thought.

Itachi's behavior and sudden words made Konan confused, but most of all, he was anxious.

"Is it possible that you will help me?"

Xiaonan tried.

She has run out of options.

"Then let's see if you are willing to tell the truth."

"I want to see Tsunade immediately."

Before Itachi could finish his words, Konan finally revealed the reason why he came to Konoha at great risk.

After hearing this, Itachi already understood what Konan wanted to do.

"Is it to save him?"

As the number one enemy of Konoha, in such a weak condition, he came here to look for the medical master Tsunade, naturally to treat his injuries, but Nagato's situation was obviously more serious, and he wanted to save lives.

"I see that he is seriously injured. You are taking such a big risk. I am sure Tsunade can save him."

Itachi's blood-red eyes looked at the body tightly wrapped in paper.

"Definitely."

Konan said with great conviction: "Since that kind of medicine can save the teacher, it can definitely save Nagato."

"Potion"

Itachi was slightly startled when he heard this, then raised his hand hidden in his sleeve, "Is it this kind of potion?"

When Itachi suddenly took out a clear injection from his sleeve, Konan stayed where he was.

Because even after just one glance, Xiaonan recognized it. This was exactly what the guy who mysteriously appeared in the Amegakure Village injected Jiraiya-sensei that day. The only difference was that the color here was slightly lighter now.

"This is it"

Konan's voice became trembling. Although she seemed to have rushed over to take it by force just now, her reason still told her that this would not work because she was no match for Itachi.

"As long as I can save Nagato's life, I'm willing to tell you everything you want to know."

Itachi was a little surprised, because Konan's voice was extremely sincere at this moment, even with a hint of pleading.

"Swish"

Itachi raised his hand and waved, and the potion in his hand flew out.

Konan on the opposite side unconsciously stretched out her hand to catch it, but her expression was shocked and she couldn't believe Itachi's behavior.

"Why you"

"This is just a diluted medicine. It's impossible to cure him, but it should be okay to save his life for the time being."

The potion that ng had been coveting suddenly came into his hands as if it was a drug. Xiaonan no longer had the intention to listen to Itachi's words because she couldn't care less.

Thinking of the scene where Jiraiya was being treated in the Amegakure Village, he didn't waste any more time. The tightly wrapped paper slowly opened, revealing the haggard and even yellowed Nagato inside. Nagato was already as skinny as a stick. At this time, his serious injuries made him even more miserable.

Itachi could feel Nagato's weakness, as if he might die at any moment.

This was also the first time Itachi saw Pain's true face.

Konan finally slowly injected the liquid into Nagato's arm.

As for the possibility that this potion was poison, Xiaonan didn't consider it because there was really no need to bother with it.

As the medicine was injected, a gradual rosy color appeared on Nagato's skin, and the bright green color was quite eye-catching in the dim light. Until finally, even a life born from death spread from Nagato's body.

Itachi had personally experienced this terrifyingly powerful potion, so he knew the changes in Nagato's body at this time. The effect of the medicine was indeed strong, but it also required suffering.

"cough cough"

Finally, a weak cough came from Nagato's mouth, but unfortunately he still couldn't wake up.

From the beginning of injecting the potion to now, Xiaonan has been staring at everything in front of her, unable to believe her eyes.

Because from the moment Nagato was seriously injured, Xiaonan's heart was filled with despair. Risking his life this time to come to Konoha was actually just a last-ditch effort.

"Nagato Nagato"

Konan finally recovered from her daze and cried out. She threw herself in front of Nagato and hugged him tightly. Her body was trembling slightly and her tears could no longer be suppressed.

"Wow, great, you're still alive."

Itachi looked at everything in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable.

Who would have thought that the originally cold and ruthless founder of the Akatsuki organization would shed tears, which was beyond Itachi's expectations.

"I think I have expressed my sincerity enough. Now, it is your turn to provide important information."
