Forced to sell misery

"We'll have to wait a little longer." Payne was also very tired. The organization was full of troublemakers who didn't obey orders... Of course, this was natural for capable people.

As long as he could serve the organization, he gritted his teeth and let them do whatever they wanted.

The assigned partner was killed by Kakuzu, so he was killed. Anyway, he was too weak and was indeed a drag on Akatsuki.

With bread to spare, and a partner to be had as well... After sending Kakuzu away in an idealistic way, Pain looked back at the newly formed female duo and nodded slightly.

He was absolutely confident in Xiaonan, and it was no problem for her to lead the newcomers. Besides, girls could communicate better together.

Since then, he rarely saw Xiaonan smile...

He promised Yahiko that he would take good care of Konan.

Looking at Xiaonan, Payne felt a little apologetic for a moment.

……

Everyone had left, leaving only Ah Fei, who had a very low sense of presence as long as he didn't speak, still in dejection.

And Payne and Konan stared at each other, it seemed that they couldn't be disturbed...

Ye Cang, who hadn't said a word during the entire process, was already numb.

Akatsuki organization...

What kind of psychopaths are they?

"Follow me." Nodding to Payne, Xiaonan said to Ye Cang.

"..."

Ye Cang hurriedly scratched the forehead guard with a kunai, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Konan.

It seems like she sold herself out like this...

Veins on his forehead throbbed, Ye Cang clenched his fists, and couldn't help but feel grief and anger in his heart -

Uchiha Jingye, right? You’re done.

……

……

Kagamiya-chan, who was far away in the Land of Wind digging cacti with little Gaara, sneezed several times in succession.

"What's wrong? Are you catching a cold? Is it too windy and dusty outside? Let's go and rest." Gaara immediately stood up as if facing a great enemy, and nervously pulled at the corner of Jing Ye's clothes.

"..."

Ever since he nearly went berserk and got his face covered in blood, Gaara seemed to have some strange misunderstanding about him...

For example, I am like Gaara, possessing strange abilities but no fighting power at all, a weak being that needs protection—

After all, in Gaara's opinion, he still has Sunako to protect him, but Jing Ye doesn't...

So a strange misunderstanding arose...

Gaara protected Kagamiya—he really protected him seriously!

So strict that even the wind and sand can't blow for too long...

To be more specific, he was warning the Anbu who were monitoring him to stay away from his brother Jing Ye in a particularly fierce manner!

The red panda even expressed dissatisfaction with his father who kept coming here every other day...

This is the brother he found, who is the same as him and is his!

Hmm... The red panda marked Jing Ye as part of its territory, stared with eyes wide open, and prepared to protect him well.

It’s so cute!

Although I tried to keep a straight face and tell Gaara not to be too averse to other people's contact, Jing Ye was still secretly happy...

In short, Jing Ye was so overwhelmed by the cuteness of the little panda!

Moreover, after Kagamiya and Shukaku (forced) reached an agreement, there is no need to worry about Shukaku's power depriving Gaara of consciousness and causing him to lose himself and go berserk. Gaara's insomnia has been well solved, and now the little panda can happily hug his pillow and ask brother Kagamiya to sleep with him.

Correspondingly, Gaara, who lives a life not much different from other children, naturally would not have the original thoughts of loneliness and resentment. Although he is still wary of others, he will never do anything to hurt others in the street.

In the past, the incidents of Jinchūriki going berserk and killing people had become rumors and strange stories due to the cover-up by the top leaders.

When Jing Ye held Gaara's hand and walked on the street, although he faced all kinds of suspicious looks, the situation was much better than before.

As long as there is no substantial harm, such as threats to his life, the Sand Ninja villagers can barely accept Gaara.

After all, there is Jing Ye, a handsome young man from the Uchiha family who ranks first in the ninja world in terms of appearance...

As long as Jing Ye showed those ignorant people a confused and embarrassed smile... most people would be moved...

In fact, after getting along with him, Gaara will find that there are still people who are willing to be kind to him...

For example, the old lady who runs the dumpling shop on the corner that Jing Ye had visited...

For example, the Sand Ninja girls who covet the beauty of the Uchiha family and have an inexplicable crush on Jing Ye...

In addition to doing things like blocking people on the street to give Jing Ye something, they also had their eyes on the little panda that had always been following Jing Ye...

If it weren't for the inappropriate age and appearance, they would have thought that Gaara was Jingye's... ahem, old father Luosha looked very haggard.

But, if they are brothers, it would be super cute too!

Speaking of brothers…

In fact, Temari and Kankuro are still very willing to accept Gaara as their younger brother.

Although they were threatened by the ferocious little panda that stood in front of Jing Ye, the two happily accepted Gaara after adapting for a while.

After all... they are still children...

After considering it, Luo Sha agreed to Jing Ye's proposal to raise the three children together.

After a series of events, Luo Sha's thoughts also changed accordingly.

From being vigilant and cautious in the beginning to being on guard against surveillance while having a relatively tolerant policy and a softening attitude - Luo Sha implicitly proposed the idea of ​​shelter to Jing Ye.

Jing Ye could only give a vague response and continue to stay with the red panda.

Don't think he didn't see that Luo Sha wanted to keep him in Sand Village...

After all, it is better to keep someone like him in the Sand Ninja than to let him go somewhere else and become a destabilizing factor.

But Luo Sha's plan was much bigger than Jing Ye had imagined—

The fact that the entire Uchiha clan rebelled against Konoha has been one of the gossips that has been circulating in the entire ninja world for a long time.

If only the Uchiha clan could be incorporated into Sand Village...

Such an idea made Luo Sha very excited. Later, after he figured out the key points and analyzed the pros and cons of all parties, the entire Sand Village high-level officials were shocked!

If they could really bring the Uchiha clan into the Sand Village... they would not hesitate even if it meant breaking off relations with Konoha!

That’s the famous Uchiha family!

Don’t underestimate the influence of famous ninja clans. Although it is now a system of ninja villages, the fame of ninja villages still mainly depends on the contributions of the famous ninja village families!

What does it mean to be a famous ninja family?

It’s a commissioned task brought about by reputation and word of mouth!

The damned Wind Country Daimyo cut the funding for Sand Village and bypassed Sand Village to entrust some tasks to Konoha...

Such practices have severely restricted the development of Sand Village. As a last resort, Sand Village can only disarm. However, if this continues, Sand Village will become increasingly weaker, and it may cause irreversible consequences. They must have the capital to trade with other countries in order to improve the current situation!

The appearance of Uchiha Jingye not only solved the problem of the instability of the Jinchūriki, but also seemed to bring some hope to the Sand Village -

Although Uchiha Kagamiya is an S-rank traitor wanted by Konoha, but... isn't it better this way?

They, the Sand Village, have a better chance!

And I heard that Uchiha Kagamiya, the S-rank rebel ninja of Konoha, is also the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader!

If Uchiha Jingye with such status could be recruited as a member of the Sand Ninja...

Then the Uchiha clan behind Uchiha Jingye would have an excuse to negotiate...

It is not impossible to turn the once famous Uchiha clan of Konoha into their Sand Village!

In short, this is an opportunity!

Thinking of this, the entire Sand Village leadership was in an uproar!

So, in Jingye's bewilderment, he discovered that the entire Sand Village seemed to be... not right.

For example...

The change in the attitude of Luosha and the Sand Ninja Anbu towards him——

Luo Sha, who looked at him as if he were a rare treasure, and the Anbu who inexplicably became respectful and called him "Master Jingye"...

For example, Sunagakure opened up its training resources to him to a certain extent.

For example, with Luo Sha's tacit consent, the Sand Ninja girls flocked to him like a swarm of bees and butterflies...

……

He remembered that Sand Village was different from Konoha. As a relatively traditional ninja village, it would not easily accept ninjas who did not belong to the Sand Village sequence.

Are you so unsteady in your stance?

Jing Ye was simply confused, but such a change was not a bad thing...

Uchiha Kagamiya, who was a bit of a political novice, didn't know the intention behind Sand Village's show of kindness to him. If he knew...

This guy would definitely roll his eyes at Luo Sha on the spot, and might even choose to beat up the unclear-minded Fourth Kazekage to wake him up.

Do you think you can dream of me, the Great Uchiha?!

Although it was not very clear, according to the information revealed to him by Obito, the Uchiha clan announced to the outside world that they would go into seclusion, becoming one of the few hidden clans in the ninja world that was independent of any force.

Although the decline of the famous Uchiha family was vaguely revealed, Jing Ye felt that this result was not bad.

Moreover... the Uchiha clan's seclusion is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Obito must be hiding something from him. Jing Ye felt that Obito must be planning to use the Uchiha clan as a trump card for the "Moon Eye" plan.

But there is nothing we can do about it.
