Late at night.

Inside the village of Yuyin.

Naraku Uehara and Konan are finally back.

"Teacher, you go and rest first!"

Naraku Uehara immediately arranged for Xiao Nan to go back to rest, he looked at Xiao Nan with exhaustion in his eyes, and continued softly: "I'll go to the organization's base and tell them the news of Nagato-sama's death. ”

Naraku Uehara plans to go to Akatsuki's base alone, and by the way, to strengthen the confidence of those members, who believe in him so much, Uehara doesn't want to disappoint them.

In fact, the Xiao organization is like a tattered home, and the relationship between the members of the family is highly tense, and now after Nagato's death, this family is on the verge of dissolution.

Unfortunately, these members seem to like to find their own warmth in this high-tension relationship, and they don't want the group to be disbanded.

Of course, they didn't want the home to be too different.

So Naraku Uehara plans to appease those people, in fact, the main ones are Deidara, Red Sand Scorpion and Kakuto and others, after all, they are also old friends.

The rest of the people are basically Naraku Uehara's subordinates, or relatives of his subordinates, so they don't need to worry much at all, they trust Naraku Uehara very much as his boss.

Oh, and there's also a flying segment on the verge of mutiny.

Feidan, this guy is just not very honest, if it really doesn't work, Naraku Uehara simply gives him a dead end and lets him go by himself.

Xiao Nan rubbed his forehead, his face was full of worry and said, "I'll go with you!" When those traitorous ninjas learned the news of Nagato's death, they didn't know what would happen... We might as well let them all go! ”

“……”

Naraku Uehara couldn't laugh or cry.

The point is, those guys won't leave at all!

Even Fei Duan, who could defect at any moment, was temporarily pacified by the horns, and Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion were even more bent on staying in the Xiao Organization until they were disbanded.

"I'd better go by myself!"

Uehara Naro shook his head, stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Nan's forehead, and said softly: "How long have you not rested, hurry up and go to rest first." ”

“……”

Xiao Nan hesitated and bit his lip, slowly lowered his head and said, "I'll go with you, I'm a little worried..."

“……”

Naraku Uehara fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, Xiao Nan's current state is not quite right.

Since Nagato's sacrifice, Xiao Nan's state has been okay at first.

Even when Nagato died, Konan didn't lose her temper too much, making Naraku Uehara think that she might have gotten used to the grief of losing a family member or friend.

As time went on, on their way back to Yuyin Village from Konoha, Xiao Nan's state gradually became a little worse, and she spent more and more time in a daze.

Xiao Nan is not without sadness.

It's that her heart is too painful and suppresses all this.

Naraku Uehara thinks that what Xiao Nan needs more now is rest, and it may be better if Xiao Nan can hide in the bed and secretly cry out his grief.

"Then we'll all go and rest now."

Naraku Uehara glanced at Xiao Nan with a puzzled face, stretched out his palm to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Wait until we have rested, and then go to the base of the organization, okay?" ”

“… Good. ”

Xiao Nan nodded hesitantly.

Naraku Uehara finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and under Xiao Nan's personal gaze, he slowly walked into his room and lay down on the bed.

Maybe it's because of Nagato's sacrifice that Xiao Nan is afraid?

Just when Naraku Uehara wanted to quietly leave Yuyin Village with his fate, he saw Xiaonan's avatar appear on a tall tower in Yuyin Village, and Naraku Uehara's expression changed and flew out of his room.

Xiao Nan didn't know when she stood alone on top of the tower in the village, looking up at the starry sky at night, her face was still so calm.

At this moment, Xiao Nan's figure looked extremely thin on the tower.

At this moment, an atmosphere of loneliness surrounded her.

"Teacher?"

Naraku Uehara's figure floated down beside Xiao Nan, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked softly, "You should go to rest now, why can't you sleep?" ”

“……”

Xiao Nan nodded and shook his head again.

After a while, Xiao Nan slowly lowered his head, glanced at the somewhat silent Yuyin Village, and said in a somewhat depressed mood: "This village will not rain in the middle of the night in the future... I'm still a little used to it. ”

In the past.

Every day when it is getting late, in order to prevent the patrolling ninjas of Rain Hidden Village from having loopholes due to darkness, Nagato will manipulate the Heavenly Dao Payne to make a heavy rain, and use the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique to judge some strange enemies who have infiltrated the village.

For so many years, Nagato has never stopped this habit.

Even Naraku Uehara grew accustomed to the fact that it would rain when it was dark, and every time it was getting late, she would fall asleep to the sound of the rain.

However, the sound of rain in the middle of the night in Yuyin Village, which had been in Yuyin Village for many years, disappeared overnight, making Xiao Nan's heart reappear with a wordless grief.

"Naraku, that's weird..."

Xiao Nan's tears gradually crossed her face and slowly dripped down: "Obviously when Nagato sacrificed, although I also felt sad and painful in my heart, but I didn't even shed tears, and now I just didn't hear the rain he made..."

There was a hint of sadness in Xiao Nan's voice, she could no longer hide her grief for the loss of her best friend, and looked at the silent village in despair and cried.

Naraku Uehara slowly lowered her head.

At this moment, he can understand Xiao Nan's hidden grief very well.

When someone close to them dies, people may not shed tears or even behave normally, but that doesn't mean that people aren't in pain.

Because when people really realize that there is one less person in their lives, they see that the traces of that person's existence gradually dissipate...

At that time, the bottom of one's heart finally realized that there was one person completely missing from their lives, and when the longing began to spread, the sadness and despair would come up.

Naraku Uehara looked at the crying Konan, and slowly stretched out his finger, and a chakra light appeared on his fingertips, and he shot it into the sky with his finger.

The next moment, a dark cloud gradually appeared in the sky.

Thunder and lightning converged in the clouds, and the rain fell in a trickle, and a few seconds later it rained in the village.

The rain grew louder and louder, hiding Xiao Nan's cry.

Naraku Uehara stood beside Xiao Nan, slowly stretched out his palm, and hugged Xiao Nan, who was crying into tears, in his arms, blocking the torrential rain for her.

On top of the tower of Yuyin Village.

Xiao Nan stood here like this, grabbing Naraku's clothes, crying bitterly in Naraku's arms, suffering from the loss of his best friend.

Even if Naraku Uehara caused a heavy rain with his own hands, he still couldn't make Nan recover from Nagato's death, he slowly tightened his right arm, stretched out his left hand and put it on Nan's head, blocking the rain from falling on her head.

After a long time, Xiao Nan's crying gradually became quieter.

Naraku Uehara barely breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he sent Xiao Nan to his room in silence, taking out a towel to help her wipe the rain and tears on her face.

Xiao Nan was also silently watching Naraku Uehara's movements, she suddenly stretched out her hand, took the towel from Naraku Uehara's hand, and also helped him wipe the rain on his cheeks.

"Naraku."

Xiao Nan's wrist suddenly wrapped around Naraku Uehara's neck, her forehead touched his forehead, and her voice was mixed with a hint of weakness after crying: "Don't sacrifice yourself in the future... Good no good... Or when I'm dead..."

“……”

Naraku Uehara stretched out his palm, grabbed Xiao Nan's hair, and pressed it tightly against her forehead, as if this would allow them to communicate with each other, and make Xiao Nan's mood feel better.

Naraku's eyes slowly opened, staring at the undried tears under Xiao Nan's eyelashes, and he just said a word in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Xiao Nan.

“… Good. ”

Because the despair of the people around me leaving one by one is actually suffocating, so it will make people cherish the current people even more.

After a long time, Naraku Uehara felt Xiao Nan's breathing gradually stabilize before she withdrew her forehead, let her lie on the bed, and helped her cover the quilt.

A touch of gentleness appeared on Naraku Uehara's face, and she said softly: "Sleep, from today onwards, I will rain in the village every night and on weekends..."

"Okay."

Xiao Nan turned his head to look at the raindrops on the window.

After a long time, the tiredness finally came up completely, Xiao Nan held Uehara's palm, slowly closed his eyes, his breathing gradually calmed down, and the sound of rain outside the window became calmer.

After Xiao Nan fell asleep, Naraku Uehara gently pulled out her palm from her hand.

Naraku Uehara looked at Xiao Nan's face carefully, as if he was afraid that she would wake up, but he felt that her breathing was still steady, and he was relieved.

After a while.

Naraku Uehara quietly sensed a stream of chakras entering the rain.

Naraku Uehara opened the skill display panel of fate, his face couldn't help but darken, these guys seemed to be in a hurry than he imagined!

A bunch of Akatsuki members are running towards his room!

Naraku Uehara has a faint illusion that this group of guys is actually a group of children who are looking for their parents!
