In the dark cave.

The sound of water drops is sparse and falling.

A sound of water splashing suddenly appeared, echoing in this secluded cave. A man and a woman hidden in this cave suddenly became alert.

"Penn, someone is here!"

The woman frowned and her palms instantly turned into origami. The chakra attached to it looked extremely sharp. Her voice was a little calm: "Except for the two of us, only Madara and Jue know that this is... are they here?"

"No, it's a strange ninja."

The man raised his head, staring at the entrance of the cave with strange eyes, looking at the figure that appeared, his voice sounded a little cold and ruthless: "Xiao Nan, go and kill him!"

Even if they abandoned the first generation of Akatsuki's organization's proposal twelve years ago because of the death of their old friends, it does not mean that they are willing to see the place where their old friends once lived and are entered by strangers.

Kill a strange ninja who has stepped into this undestructible land, neither a man nor a woman, and there is no burden in her heart.

They are used to killing.

"May I ask, is this...the base of the Akatsuki organization?"

Before they could do anything, the figure who appeared in the cave first spoke to a man and a woman standing in the cave: "I am Uehara's son, Nara Uehara. He told my mother twelve years ago that he joined an organization named Akira and wanted to follow Lord Yahiko, but he has never come back since then."

“…”

The woman stopped waving the paper Shuriken, and the expression on the man's face was a little stiff. They heard a somewhat strange name.

No, or, in other words, it's quite familiar.

At least it is familiar to women.

Because the ninja named Uehara Haku, who died under the enemy's knife in order to protect her, it was a meaningless sacrifice.

As the figure at the entrance of the cave gradually walked in, a man and a woman saw clearly the appearance of the visitor.

This is a boy who even has a crooked forehead. He is wearing a wide sleeved robe. Obviously, this dress is a bit old for his age.

The uniforms of the first generation Akatsuki organization now look a bit simple, because Akatsuki was too poor at that time.

However, it still makes people feel a little nostalgic.

"You are Uehara's son?"

The man turned his strange eyes and stared at the boy in front of him. He looked at the boy who looked quite similar to his father, and said in a deep voice: "There has never been this person in our organization, you go!"

“…”

The woman opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. When she looked up and prayed, she only saw the man shook his head slightly.

The woman bit her lips and finally fell into silence.

The boy held a shuriken tightly in his hand, as if he was pretending to be calm. However, when he stopped and wanted to turn around and leave, he accidentally saw the appearance of the men and women, and suddenly put away the shuriken and took out his pocket.

The man and the woman in the cave looked at each other, with a look of surprise. When the vigilance in their hearts became very alert, the boy took out a photo.

“…”

The boy lowered his head and looked at the photos.

He raised his head again, looked at the man and the woman.

Then, the young man raised the photo at them and whispered: "May I ask, are you Lord Konan and Lord Yahiko?"

“…”

Men and women fell into silence.

That photo was the only time that the first generation of Akatsuki organization took a photo, and there were many latecomers missing. At that time, because everyone thought that Akatsuki organization was a peaceful organization and did not pay much attention to the information of its members, many people sent it to their families.

Moreover, the Yahiko mentioned in the boy was the first generation leader of the Akatsuki organization, and it was also the source of the two's moods that made them feel more depressed.

The man looks exactly the same as Yahiko because his body was originally Yahiko's body, and he made it into a powerful puppet.

The person who controls the puppet behind him is a red-haired boy in the photo.

"Mr. Yahiko doesn't look like he has changed."

The young man said in a nagging manner: "Although Mr. Xiaonan is a little older, you can still see the outline of his youth..."

“…”

The woman's face turned dark.

The man looked at the boy in front of him calmly and suddenly said, "Your father died. He had died in battle twelve years ago. Now I have forgotten his name. The weak are not worth remembering."

"Pen!"

A panic flashed across the woman's face!

In any case, she didn't expect that men would tell the truth with such a straightforward attitude, at least this is their old friend!

The boy's face drooped, and he forced himself to retort: ​​"Since you don't remember the name, why do you say he died in battle?"

"because…"

The man looked at the boy's appearance and said in a cold voice: "Twelve years ago, only two people in the Akatsuki organization survived."

“…He can survive!”

The woman suddenly said loudly and continued to add: "If it weren't for me, many people would have survived."

“…”

The man seemed to want to say something to comfort her, but he looked at the woman's depressed face and finally stopped.

"I see."

The boy's expression instantly closed and he waved his hand coldly: "Since he was dead twelve years ago, I won't blame him."

After saying that, the boy turned around and left.

However, Uehara Naraku had not taken two steps. A strange gravity pulled his body and pulled him back. The man grabbed his collar with his palm!

"Although your father does not have much powerful power, he is also a ninja worthy of admiration. Do you have no feelings for him at all?"

"Penn, let him go!"

The woman stretched out her palm anxiously next to her and grabbed the man's arm, trying to let him loosen the boy's collar.

Nara Uehara pulled Penn's palm, raised his head and looked at the man's strange eyes, and a sarcasm flashed across his face: "I'm so sorry, I was born twelve years ago, and I have no impression of him except this photo and this dress at home."

From his mouth, the image of a man who abandoned his wife and children came out.

Anyway, the ninja named Uehara Nobuki left his wife and newborn son who had just given birth and went to follow an inexplicable Akatsuki organization, which sounded a bit weird.

"…sorry."

The woman stumbled and apologized.

Xiaonan's eyes were wet. Twelve years ago, they were only fifteen years old. They couldn't understand how much sacrifice the group of ninjas who followed them had made back then.

Now they knew the tip of the iceberg under it.

"There is no need to apologize, that's his choice."

The boy shook his head, pulled the man's hand away, and whispered: "I'm here to find Xiao's base, just because I've always wanted to know about him before my mother passed away."

Xiaonan looked at the boy and said nervously: "Your parents have all passed away, so where are you... going now?"

"Of course I'm going to join Lord Hanzo!"

Nao Uehara spread his hands and explained: "In the past few months, I have been a wandering ninja to find out the news of Akatsuki and the traces of my father... Now that I have a wish, of course I will go to Lord Hanzo and be a formal ninja."

“…”

Payne and Konan looked at each other. A descendant of a first-generation Akatsuki organization was going to join his father-killer?

This little ghost named Nara Uehara doesn't know the truth. How can those who know the truth, especially Konan, tolerate such a thing?

"no."

Xiaonan reached out and grabbed his shoulder, squatted in front of him, and said with a cold face: "Your father, Uehara Nobuki, has joined Akira, so his children are also a member of the organization!"

"Your organization... is a bit like a pyramid scheme den!"

Nara Uehara looked back and forth at Konan and Payne, couldn't help but blink his eyes, and subconsciously spoke and complained.

but…

He finally achieved his true goal.
Chapter completed!
