My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 124: Mr. Nagato, You've Gone the Wrong Way! Where's Pain?

Konan didn't even count; the time she had been speaking had long exceeded three seconds, yet she was still tirelessly trying to persuade him.

"As long as you join us, you will be able to glimpse the truth of this world."

"We carry pain, and also the future of peace in the ninja world."

"All the peace in the ninja world now is just a bubble…"

"You will see the true god of the ninja world…"

Kitahara's head was spinning. How did Konan become... so long-winded?

Konan, the HR director of this "Akatsuki" organization, was truly qualified. Apart from not talking about salary and benefits, she could talk to you about anything else…

The crow was getting a bit impatient listening. Can't you just detonate the paper bombs right now? I'll immediately transform into a Daitengu and block all the explosions. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to cooperate?

Uchiha Itachi wasn't considering Konan's words either. He was using this time to judge how much chakra Konan would have left after her Paper Person of God Technique. As for its power, he wasn't considering it at all. If the crow on his shoulder truly sensed a fatal danger…

It was a bit awkward... they had never really encountered true danger.

Konan, after a long string of empty words, finally stopped, "Tell me, how have you considered?"

"..."

The youth was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Um, would you like some water?"

Even if Konan had the best temper and the calmest personality, the veins on her forehead couldn't help but throb, "Uchiha… Itachi… are you… messing with me?"

A paper spear quickly formed in her hand!

"No matter how righteous you make your organization's goals sound, or how dark you portray the Five Great Nations, it cannot cover up the evil of your organization!"

Uchiha Itachi dodged the paper spear in her hand and continued seriously, "I refuse! My family and friends are all in Konoha. I cannot agree no matter what!"

"Having stalled for so long, have you thought of a countermeasure?" Konan brought her hands together. The paper bombs disguised as tree bark fluttered down like snowflakes, drifting towards the ground…

"No, I was just thinking about how much chakra you would have left... After calculation, a C-rank ninjutsu is enough!" Uchiha Itachi brought his hands together and spewed a ball of fire, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

He didn't care whether the Great Fireball Technique hit or not, and quickly landed on the ground with Kitahara, calling out to everyone to gather around him, "Come here quickly!"

"Caw…"

Cub, are you so confident turning your back like that? A C-rank ninjutsu to deal with Konan or something…

It wouldn't even dare to think that!

Kitahara resignedly enlarged its body. The humanoid Crow Daitengu reappeared, spreading its wings to cover everyone below, letting the paper bombs explode on its back.

After the lingering smoke and dust cleared, both sides looked at the enemy in surprise.

Uchiha Itachi frowned, "How is that possible?"

The young ninja's calculation had been off. A figure stood beside Konan, both of them on a strange, giant bird. It seemed this sudden reinforcement had helped block the Great Fireball Technique.

"How is this possible?"

Konan's mouth was slightly agape. She looked doubtfully at the pitted ground. There was even a deep hole where a concentration of paper bombs had exploded, yet the crowd below was completely unharmed… including the humanoid Daitengu that had blocked the damage.

"Caw!"

How is that possible!

Are you kidding me?

Kitahara looked in astonishment at the person beside Konan. Even though it thought Konan wouldn't die so easily here and that someone might come to save her, even if the strongest Deva Path Pain appeared, the crow wouldn't have been surprised.

But… this person was not inferior to Pain, and was even stronger!

Nagato… is it really okay for you to appear so openly?

Since when did the big boss get his own hands dirty?

Has he been possessed by a cautious hero?

Even though the person was draped in a shabby, brownish-red robe that contrasted with his red hair, and his face was gaunt… the only difference was that he didn't have those black rods of the Yin-Yang Release on his back.

Nagato, able to use all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain.

Similarly, Nagato was also the creator of the Akatsuki's leader, the Deva Path Pain. All the Pains were his puppets.

If there was a ceiling of strength in the ninja world at this stage, it would definitely be... not necessarily him, because Kitahara itself was still standing here!

Itachi flapped his wings and landed on the shoulder of the Tengu-form crow, "Kitahara, that person's eyes… have an ominous feeling."

"Caw!"

Kitahara glanced at its cub. Those are the Rinnegan, one of the three great ocular jutsu.

If its cub could evolve to the Rinnegan, it wouldn't have to worry about the problem of blindness. It wouldn't even matter if Itachi ran around with Susanoo active…

Under those eyes, who knew how many souls had been buried… After the Sage of Six Paths, these Rinnegan were the only ones. For these eyes to appear, Black Zetsu had worked hard for over a thousand years!

But after more than a thousand years, Black Zetsu hadn't given up. The story in between must be very inspiring…

Above the giant bird.

Nagato glanced at the bloodstain on Konan's arm, then turned to look down at the crowd below, and asked in a low, seemingly unintentional voice, "You're injured?"

"It doesn't matter. My chakra is almost depleted anyway." Konan didn't choose to bandage her wound, but instead asked softly, "Did you find out?"

"I didn't find any trace of Madara." Nagato shook his head, "But based on the current situation, it's enough to judge their purpose. It seems you can't go out alone in the future."

"Even so, you're not willing to give up cooperating with them?"

"Their power is insignificant in the face of God's eyes. I won't let you get hurt…" Nagato's eyes moved slightly, then gradually calmed down, "For now, let's deal with the enemies before us first!"

"…Alright."

Konan's expression was a bit strange. Pain and Nagato were clearly the same person's consciousness, but the atmosphere when interacting with them was somewhat different… This slight abnormality was also slowly disappearing with time.

Konan looked down at Uchiha Itachi below. Under his young face was a meticulous mind that did not belong to his age, plus his identity…

"If possible, let's keep that Uchiha Itachi. I believe he will become… our support."

"Konan!" Nagato's voice was a little louder. He then calmed his emotions and explained calmly, "We don't have time for mercy, nor can we have a merciful heart anymore."

"Then I'll leave it to you to handle!"

Konan said lightly. The light purple paper flower took half a step back, leaving Nagato alone to face the crowd.

Tsunade, under the crow's displeased gaze, leaped onto Kitahara's body. She stared intently at Nagato and Konan, "It's… those two children from that time!"

"Lady Tsunade, you know them?"

"No… but you could say I know them! They were two orphans from the Hidden Rain Village during the Second Shinobi World War. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and I met them once…"

Tsunade looked at the curious Itachi and explained, "I don't know the specifics, I just remember they should be three people… After we get back to the village, you can ask Jiraiya. He once stayed in the Hidden Rain Village for a while because of those three children."

"And if I remember correctly…" Tsunade's brow furrowed tightly, recalling a period of depression her companion had during the Third Shinobi World War, "They should be dead."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, analyzing all possibilities, "In that case, it feels like their state is somewhat similar to Edo Tensei, but not quite the same…"

While they were still discussing, Nagato's ocular jutsu had already been activated!

A mechanical arm grew out from Nagato's back, gradually assembling into a laser cannon. The light blue light gradually turned deep blue, chakra condensing in the barrel…

"Asura Path! Asura Attack!"

His target… was precisely Kitahara in its Daitengu form.
