"Damn it, Kumogakure!!!"
"Damn this world!!!"
After hearing Kenshi's story, the three of them let out a heavy roar in their hearts. Their vigilance towards Kenshi and Yezi completely disappeared at this moment.
It wasn't just because Yezi was Nagato's relative, but also because of Yezi's experiences.
Compared to Yezi, Yahiko felt that their own tragic experiences as children weren't that tragic after all.
Of course, tragedy wasn't a matter of comparison. Only those who had experienced it could understand that kind of pain.
But Yezi's experiences, the three of them could feel the despair in Yezi's heart at that time just by thinking about it.
Overnight, their country was destroyed, and they were forced to flee.
They watched helplessly as their clan members died one by one.
Their father died protecting them, and their mother was also sacrificed to protect them, her body covered in bite marks.
They were finally rescued by Kenshi. Then, their mother sacrificed herself, and Yezi was captured by Kumogakure and subjected to all sorts of inhumane experiments. In the end, she almost became a tool for reproduction.
Kumogakure's actions made the three of them experience for the first time the unknown darkness within the Hidden Villages of the Five Great Nations. Their worldview was strongly impacted.
At the same time, Yahiko became even more determined in his belief.
He would fight for peace in the ninja world for the rest of his life. He would ensure that the tragedy of Yezi, Nagato's relative, would never happen again. He would ensure that everyone in the ninja world could enjoy the beauty of peace and no longer worry about their safety.
Sizzle!
Yahiko used both hands to forcefully tear apart the wanted poster of Yezi in his hands, bit by bit.
"Yezi-nee, don't worry. As long as you're in the Rain Country, I will never let you get hurt."
"Heh, am I being a little presumptuous?"
After saying this, Yahiko suddenly realized that his strength wasn't as strong as Kenshi and Yezi. Saying that he would protect them, he blushed and scratched his head, looking silly and smiling.
Since ancient times, sincerity has been the most deadly weapon.
Even Yezi, whose mind had become somewhat twisted and who didn't trust anyone in this world except Kenshi, was moved by Yahiko's sincere smile. She frowned slightly, although she didn't say anything, but avoiding Yahiko's sincere gaze showed that she was uneasy.
Because she felt Yahiko's determination.
This boy, who was younger than her, was truly willing to risk his life to protect her.
This made Yezi, who was used to Kenshi being nice to her, suddenly feel uncomfortable with Yahiko's sudden appearance.
It was like you already had a boyfriend who loved you very much, and then suddenly a handsome guy appeared in front of you and your boyfriend and said he liked you too.
Yezi was a little overwhelmed.
Kenshi saw it. He couldn't say how he felt. Maybe he was a little relieved.
Subconsciously, Kenshi didn't want Yezi to become as twisted as he was.
Maybe Yahiko and the others' sincerity would change Yezi.
Kenshi thought.
It was his turn to make his move.
After gaining the trust of Yahiko and the others through Yezi's identity and experiences, Kenshi still needed to discuss his ideals with Yahiko.
"Aren't you afraid of Kumogakure's people?" Kenshi asked.
Yahiko looked at Nagato and Konan, who were standing on either side of him. Before Yahiko could speak, the two of them blurted out.
"We support Yahiko's decision. Yezi-nee, stay here. We will protect you."
Facing the two of them's sincere words, Yezi still didn't say anything. She just turned her head away, not looking at the three of them.
She didn't really understand why the three of them believed Kenshi's story so quickly. Weren't they afraid that it was a lie?
In fact, Yezi knew very well that she and Big Brother were approaching these three people under orders. They weren't doing it willingly.
Hmm… Maybe Big Brother changed his mind now. He's willing to do it himself.
But Yezi was still uncomfortable with the fact that Yahiko and the others trusted them so quickly.
"Kenshi-nii, join us. Let's create a peaceful world without war together." Yahiko looked at Kenshi and invited him solemnly.
Kenshi smiled and looked at the three of them. He asked, "What is peace in your eyes? What constitutes peace?"
What is peace?
What constitutes peace?
Hearing Kenshi's question, the three of them were stunned. Nagato and Konan looked at each other blankly. They had never considered this question before. They couldn't think of an answer for a moment. They couldn't help but look at Yahiko.
Of the three, Yahiko was always the one with the grander vision.
The two of them often followed Yahiko and didn't think much about these things.
Yahiko didn't disappoint them. He quickly recovered from his daze. A look of anticipation appeared on his face. He turned back and glanced at Nagato and Konan before turning to Kenshi and saying, "I think peace is when all the orphans like me, Nagato, and Konan can grow up carefree."
Right!
That's it!
Nagato and Konan's eyes lit up when they heard Yahiko's answer. Then, they thought about the hardships they had suffered since they were children. Their eyes quickly became moist.
Yezi also trembled. She turned her head and looked seriously at Yahiko. She didn't expect this boy to say something so simple yet profound.
Kenshi's expression also froze slightly. To be honest, he didn't expect Yahiko to be able to explain peace so well.
It was a bit like Luffy's answer to the question of who the freest man on the sea is, which is the Pirate King.
If all the orphans in the world could grow up carefree, it would mean that the world cared enough about orphans, so much so that even without parents, they wouldn't lack a bit of love.
If a world could provide such love to all orphans.
Then, that world would definitely be a world where people understand each other, a peaceful world in an ideal sense.
Kenshi understood what Yahiko's ideal peace was, but it basically only existed in an ideal world. It was impossible in reality.
"I believe that a world where people understand each other will definitely come." Yahiko was very sensitive. He sensed the disbelief in Kenshi's eyes, but his face was still full of confidence.
"How are you going to achieve your ideal peace?" Kenshi asked.
"First…" Yahiko took a few steps forward, extended his right hand, and opened it. He said, "Starting with convincing you to join us. I believe that as long as there are more companions who believe that peace will come and work together, a peaceful world where orphans can grow up happily will definitely be realized in our hands."
"Heh." Kenshi shook his head with a smile. Just as a hint of disappointment flashed in Yahiko's eyes.
Slap!
A big hand forcefully grasped his right hand. Kenshi smiled and said, "I still don't believe that the peaceful world you speak of will exist, but… I'm looking forward to its arrival."
This was Kenshi's truth. He wasn't lying.
Yahiko forcefully grasped Kenshi's right hand and laughed happily, "I'm also looking forward to the arrival of that peaceful world."
From that day on, Kenshi and Yezi perfectly infiltrated Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Their conversation was heard without missing a word by White Zetsu, who was hidden underground.
White Zetsu was full of surprise that Kenshi would also look forward to the ridiculous peaceful world that Yahiko spoke of. It wasn't the Kenshi he knew.
But the current Kenshi made White Zetsu inexplicably feel much more at ease.
This world needed more naive people like Yahiko. It would be easier to control and easier to carry out his plan.
…
If you were to ask what organization in Naruto is the coolest.
It would definitely be Akatsuki. The cool black uniform with red clouds, the powerful individual strength, these were all things that gave Akatsuki a cool impression.
In the early Naruto fanfiction of his previous life, nine out of ten people joined Akatsuki.
This shows Akatsuki's status in the hearts of many people.
Kenshi successfully joined Akatsuki. Oh, it didn't have a name yet at this time, but he was considered one of Akatsuki's founding members.
People say that starting a business is always hard.
Kenshi hadn't experienced it before, but now he did.
"Bang, bang..."
Kenshi took a piece of cut stone and put it into the slot. Yahiko handed him another piece of stone, and he reached out to take it and pressed it down.
On the other side, Nagato, Konan, and Yezi were also carrying stones to repair the houses.
That's right, the cool Akatsuki team of the future was now repairing houses for people, and they were doing it for free.
This was Kenshi's first mission after joining Akatsuki. It wasn't to be a mercenary or to capture Tailed Beasts. It was to repair houses for the villagers.
"Sigh!"
"Forget it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Kenshi sighed inwardly, but his hands didn't slow down. Before nightfall, they had repaired the collapsed walls and roof of two houses.
