Chapter 20 The more you yearn for the light at high places, the more its roots will go downwards
[Quest accepted: 1/2]
[Task name: [Akatsuki Creation]]
[Details of the mission: Witness the first acquaintance of the three founders of the "Akatsuki organization, "Yahiko", "Nagato" and "Konan"]
[Task Level: Blue]
[Task period: 69 natural days]
[Completion reward: 2000 points]
[Task status: Completed]
[Hold points: 200 (+2000)]
Looking at the mission that was triggered three months ago, Kumokawa shook his head and thought to himself: "It's just 'witnessing' the first acquaintance of the three little ones. The maneuverability of this mission is really large enough."
Bring Yahiko and Konan back, let the three little ones get to know each other, and then they can complete the task directly.
But that's fine, as long as he doesn't join the "Akatsuki" organization, it doesn't matter to him.
After all, if he was asked to do nothing, continue to develop according to the original plot, wait for them to establish the Akatsuki organization, and then join it, he would not accept this task.
Nagato was found by Kumokawa in a dilapidated village a few months ago.
He was looking for someone at the time, and when he heard a bang, he immediately went there.
Then, there is no more...
No one knows how confused he was when he saw the unconscious red-haired kid and the corpses of the two Konoha ninjas.
Even he didn't expect to find Nagato before finding Yahiko and Konan. He even wondered if some old guy had lured him there on purpose.
After all, Kumokawa has always felt that luck is just accidental, and misfortune is the norm.
But he carefully recalled the whole process, but found nothing unusual. In the end, he could only blame it on "luck" and be extremely vigilant in his heart.
Even if he knew that approaching Nagato would bring him into the sight of those two old scoundrels, Kumokawa couldn't just leave as if he hadn't seen anything.
The Rinnegan is really important.
Kumokawa knew that his "weight" in the ninja world was gradually increasing, and he could not just wait until the main plot started without doing anything.
Sooner or later, his existence will disrupt the original historical development, thereby losing the few prophetic abilities of the reincarnated.
Yahiko and Konan are very clear examples.
Because they themselves are not special people, Kumokawa's "butterfly" flapped its wings lightly(butterfly effect), and they encountered a fatal murderous intention that they would not have encountered.
If that wasn't a trap set by Kumokawa, Yahiko and the two might not have survived.
Because their weight in this world is too low, if they had not met Nagato, they would have been just one of thousands of war orphans.
Therefore, even if you risk being targeted by those two old swindlers, you must hold the "Rinnegan" in your own hands and keep Nagato under your nose. Only in this way can you take the initiative in the future.
What's more, it's not just a Uzumaki clan member who can use most of the abilities of the Rinnegan.
Nagato is the "vessel" chosen by Old Madara. He is also a very talented member of the Uzumaki clan. He is probably unique even among the Uzumaki clan.
The combination of the Rinnegan and the Uzumaki Genius is too tempting to Kumokawa.
When traffickers see a child with potential, how can they say they return empty-handed?
Anyway, before Nagato grows up to the point where he can become independent, it is impossible for the old man to deliberately attack the people around him. At least he has to wait until Nagato grows up to be able to summon the Gedo Statue, or even wait until he can use The art of Rinne-Rebirth.
When Nagato can achieve this level, if Kumokawa is afraid of the Old Madada who is struggling to breathe, then he basically deserves to die.
The only pity for Kumokawa was that when he arrived at the scene, Nagato's parents were already dead.
Otherwise, he might even be able to gain other Uzumaki clan members.
When Nagato first woke up, he was completely an autistic brat.
Watching Kumokawa attract fellow travelers with various means and personality charm, and finally watching this "City of Dawn" being built bit by bit.
After several months of Kumokawa's words and deeds, Nagato finally became less autistic.
Because he went to the other extreme.
"well."
Thinking of this, Kumokawa couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he directly grabbed Nagato's face next to him, tugged at the corner of his mouth and said bitterly: "Can you smile more usually? Stop having a gloomy face all day long, looking like you are bitter and resentful!"
"You have scared seven children to tears. Half of the complaints in my office are about you bullying other people's children!"
In order to reduce the number of times Nagato uses the Rinnegan and slow down his ability to adapt to the Rinnegan, so as not to waste the talent of his own Uzumaki clan.
Kumokawa not only tailored a training plan for Nagato, but also used Tobirama's words as an excuse to blindfold him.
Euphemistically called: These are a pair of cursed eyes.
Anyway, in the original plot, he covered his eyes with his long hair, but now he just changed the way.
At first, Nagato was still a little unaccustomed to it, but as he experienced more things with Kumokawa and saw more and more filth, dirt and chaos, he gradually got used to closing his eyes and not looking anymore.
Although the powerful perception talent of Nagato's Uzumaki clan has been developed, he may blame himself for the death of his parents, or he may have seen too many dirty things and his psychology is distorted...
Anyway, in the end he became this gloomy and indifferent.
There should be only two things that Nagato values in his heart right now. One is Kumokawa, who is both his brother and father, who rescued him, and the other is the "City of Dawn" that he watched being built.
The name "City of Dawn" was given by him, symbolizing the only pure land left in the dark world.
This is also the reason why after hearing Yahiko's words, Nagato attacked him directly without mercy.
He knew very well how much he and his brother had paid for everything they had today, so how could he allow a naive fool to slander him?
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Nagato seemed to have gotten used to Kumokawa's behavior. He rubbed his face and walked to his side to whisper a few words.
".....Yeah?"
After a brief silence, Kumokawa's face showed a smile again, but there was no smile in his blue eyes.
Like a bottomless deep pool, no light is reflected at all.
"You don't need to ask me for instructions on this kind of thing in the future, and don't have any worries."
Kumokawa pushed Nagato's head away and said calmly: "Since I have handed over Akatsuki to you, do what you want to do and just give me a report afterwards."
"Okay." Nagato bowed his head in response, a chill flashing across his face,"Then I'll deal with it first."
The elder brother is indeed still the same elder brother.
Even if it has something to do with him, he will never be merciful.
He had to ask for permission before taking action, which seemed like he was not firm enough.
Thinking of this, Nagato stepped forward and turned to leave.
"Hey, red-haired boy!"
Nagato's steps faltered, and he turned back expressionlessly to look at Yahiko, whose face turned dark.
"I kind of hate you now." Yahiko said loudly with a tic-tac-toe popping up on his forehead, "I'll give it back to you sooner or later. You'd better not let me find a chance."
The guy in front of me was completely at odds with me, and he always felt displeased. I really wanted to grab that gloomy face and slap him in the face!
"Are you done? After you finish speaking, it's my turn." Nagato's expression did not change and he said in a low tone, "Don't let me hear you use your poor brain capacity to maliciously speculate on my brother's intentions."
This guy just doesn't understand.
Just like what his brother said to him before, the more a tree grows and the more it yearns for the light at high places, the more its roots will go downward, toward the soil, and toward the darker depths!
And his duty is to clear away the bugs in the ground to prevent them from robbing the tree of nutrients, or even gathering in small groups to bite the tree off.
This kind of truth is completely unclear to the stupid fool in front of me.
"Also, although it's childish, I hate you very much now."
After adding the last sentence, Yahiko was so angry that he jumped on the spot, and Nagato left without looking back.
Unlike this idiot, he still has his own job.
