Chapter 6: The Boy Carrying the Light of Akatsuki

The Akatsukis uniform looked quite good.

Perhaps it was because Uehara Narakus acting skills were too strong, but something led to Konans reluctance to let him become contaminated by the darkness of the Akatsuki and wanted him to have a bright future.

Naraku didnt get any new clothes, so he could only look at Uchiha Itachi wearing the red cloud and black robe with envy.

Konan glanced at the envious boy, reaching out and messing up his hair, Naraku, your future will be very bright.

In fact, staying like this is also good.

Naraku curled his lips and murmured casually.

However, when he saw Konan took out two more bottles of purple nail polish and handed them to Uchiha Itachi, his face couldnt help being twitch.

Does Akatsukis makeup have to be this thick?

Do men apply nail polish too?

Konan watched Uchiha Itachi calmly taking the nail polish and suddenly said to him, Itachiin the future, stay away from Uehara. If I see anyone who wants to hurt him, I wont be merciful.

Itachi lowered his head, glanced at Uehara Naraku, who was standing next to Konan, and nodded his head slightly.

Senior Konan, sparring can make a child grow faster!

The masked man standing next to Uchiha Itachi gazed at Naraku with great interest, opened his mouth, and said, I feel that this little demons card throwing is very similar to Konan seniors Secret Jutsu. Isnt he your younger brother?

The light blue-haired woman frowned. She neither answered nor denied and drove them away with a couple of words, If you have nothing to do, you can leave.

Good, good! Im leaving, Im going to buy b.a.l.l.s!

The masked man held his head and left, whistling.

As for Uchiha Itachi, he had just joined the organization and would temporarily live in the organizations secret base, waiting for Pain to a.s.sign him to a battle team.

Due to the words of the masked man just now, Konan suddenly became interested in Uehara Narakus abilities. She also wanted to know whether Narakus current strength was actually enough for him to force a draw with the well-trained Konoha Missing-nin in a spar while she wasnt in the room.

When Konan saw the cards in Narakus hand, she reached out, took it and lowered her head to take a good look at the pattern on the card.

That was a king of hearts.

Are these cards used in casinos?

Konans face turned cold. She looked at Ueharas eyes and, gradually a little dissatisfied, coldly asked, Are youaddicted to gambling? ?

No.

The boy spread out his hands and explained, I couldnt afford shurikens at home when I was young, I could only practice shuriken throwing with cheap cards. Now Im used to it, and I have also developed a technique that can allow me to use cards to fight. .

Well, that was just an excuse but the truth was not easy to explain!

After all, the card masters throwing technique was quite practical, not to mention the effects of the card explosion alone was equivalent to the power of an explosive tag.

Is that so? Naraku, you will be my dsciple from now on!

Konan spread out her hand, and sheets of origami floated out of her palms, turning into paper b.u.t.terflies that flit around them.

Konan manipulated a paper b.u.t.terfly to fall on her fingertips, whispering softly, My paper Release Secret Jutsu and your playing cards are similar in nature, so I can teach you many ways to fight with paper.

She was not only for teaching him so to protect himself but also so he could inherit the Akatsukis will.

Naraku was in a daze. Did he misunderstand something here? With his strength, did he really need a teacher?

The issue was, if he wanted to stay in Akatsuki, it didnt seem appropriate to refuse Konan.

Then, Konan-sama, please take care of me!

A weird side mission popped up in Uehara Narakus head. It had been completed, but he hadnt looked at it carefully before.

[Mission completed: become Konans Direct Disciple (1/1)]

[Reward: Gold Coin +150]

So little money Am I a beggar?!

According to Narakus understanding of the system side mission, although he barely understood the operating mechanism of the system, the more a mission was requested by the public, the more generous the reward was for completing it.

Konan squatted in front of Naraku, helping him organize his clothes. Her voice gradually softened, Naraku, from now oncall me teacher.

Yes, teacher Konan.

Naraku blinked as he readily followed her commands.

Actually, Konan didnt have an innate talent to be a teacher. The woman had thought about it, not sure what ninjutsu should be taught to Naraku in their first cla.s.s, before deciding to rely on her previous teachers teaching method and conduct a battle test.

Although Konans teacher was a Konoha Ninja, she did not experience a bell-robbing test, instead, she had worked with her teammates to defeat the teachers shadow clone.

Apparently, she intended to do the same.

Konan brushed the hair off Narakus forehead and explained softly, In a few days, I will test you by letting my paper clone fight with you, then well decide which ninjutsu your teacher will give you. Itll also be used to judge whether you can partic.i.p.ate in our next mission

Mission?

Yes.

Konan nodded, put his palm on Narakus shoulder, and whispered, Our Mission is to avenge Akatsukis former members and your father I dont want you to live for revenge, but I still needed to let you know. Some things shouldnt be allowed to fade into the past.

Uehara Naraku nodded with a cramped expression.

In fact, he knew all those things and even more about the truth, his sights were set deeper and farther than what Konan and Nagato could see.

So, its time to test my acting again.

Konans face slowly sank, and her expression gradually became a little cold, saying every word, Twelve years ago the person who killed the other members of Akatsuki was Hanzo, the leader of the Amegakure, the Konoha Elder s.h.i.+mura Danzo and the Village of Konoha.

What?

Narakus face was just right, with surprise mixed with disbelief before settling on determination. Soare we going to attack Konoha or Amegakure?

Pain, hearing this, walked over and stood beside them, and said solemnly, Konan, tell him about the mission already! Uehara Naraku must partic.i.p.ate in this mission. This is his birthright.

No, it may be too dangerous for Naraku to partic.i.p.ate with his strength

Konan had a head-on conflict with Pain for the first time, I have to test him first to ensure that he can survive the mission.

If he dies in this mission, itll be because his strength is too weak. It just means that hes not worthy of surviving in this World!

Pain!

Konan lifted her head abruptly and stared at him fearlessly for a while. Finally, she bowed her head. She whispered softly, I still remember Teacher Jiraiyas teachings, young children are the embers of the future and Naraku is the only one left.

Since Yahikos death in battle, this was the first time she had disobeyed Pains will, this kind of thing hadnt happened for a long time.

The appearance of this youngster was like a light, illuminating their past.

Konan knew that, from now on, she would bear a kind of responsibility. She wanted Akatsukis will, which once wanted to illuminate the Ninja World, to be inherited by Uehara Naraku.

The orange-haired man was silent for a while, turned and left, leaving only one sentence in the rain, Whatever you want! We have been preparing for this war for twelve years. The partic.i.p.ation of a little demon will have no effect on the results.
