The night was getting deeper, and the rain was not stopping.

The humid climate unique to the Land of Rain brings a hint of coolness.

The air inside the room became a little eerie.

Even powerful ninjas can still have a taste for these gods and ghosts.

Especially the two in front of him also knew that Nagato's eyes were different from ordinary people, and he was lodged with indescribable power.

So the 'friend' he said in his mouth doesn't seem to be too bizarre for a mortal like himself to be invisible?

It's good that Hasuke doesn't panic, and Xiao Nan is also a precocious and stable woman.

But Hasuke was afraid, and even Xiao Nan couldn't help but get nervous.

After all, she's still a girl, so how can she be completely immune to things like ghosts?

Seeing that even Xiao Nan, who had always been steady, began to look a little weird, Nagato hurriedly said:

"Maybe I'm just wrong, sorry."

After receiving Nagato's reply, Hatosuke and Konan relaxed slightly.

"What, why didn't I find out that you guys still have such bad eyes."

But Nagato's condition is obviously not particularly good, otherwise he would not be dazzled.

The affairs of the Yahiko leader and Hanzo's side. It's better not to bother him for the time being.

Let's talk about it when I feel better.

"Sister Xiao Nan, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Hearing this, Xiao Nan glanced back at the long door who was lying in bed.

Nagato also understands Xiao Nan's concern, she has always known how to take care of others since she was a child, if it wasn't for her. I was starved to death on that rainy day a long time ago

"Don't worry, Xiao Nan, I said long ago that there was no big problem."

"Then you have a good rest, you can't mess around like this next time!"

Xiao Nan frowned lightly, obviously she was just a young girl, but she had a mature charm on her body, like a caring elder who always paid attention to everyone.

"Well, I see."

The door of the house is closed, and Nagato doesn't know what Hatosuke is talking to Xiao Nan about, so it's not inconsequential to be able to find it at this time.

It's just that Nagato didn't have a good rest at the moment as he told Xiao Nan before.

Instead, he sat up and tentatively pushed the chakra in his body.

After a while, he slowly opened those strange eyes.

"Your Excellency, it doesn't look like a ghost."

“.”

"If you didn't follow Xiao Nan and they left, it means that Your Excellency is not interested in any information about Xiao."

His peculiar eyes were full of vigilance, and Nagato looked at the void and said coldly:

"Find me. Can I help you? ”

The water ripples in the void.

The man was masked and black-robed, and this outfit made Nagato frown even more.

It's not just a technique that has a hidden body, so that Xiao Nan and Hasuke can't perceive it at very close range.

Even under this kind of hiding. Do you need to cover it up again?

Whatever needs to be covered up, there must be a shame that cannot be looked at, or pickled.

It's just that if he is an enemy, it seems a little weird.

He had every chance to directly attack Hasuke and Xiao Nan, and in such a situation, he was actually helpless in his current state.

And at this moment, although he has already revealed his figure, he seems to be a little hesitant?

After a long time, the black-robed man spoke:

"I'm here just to ask for a favor."

Camouflaged whereabouts, camouflaged postures, even the sound of voices are camouflaged.

Even if the red-haired youth had naïve dreams, he would not be naïve enough to be unwary of such a person.

What's more, this person opened his mouth to ask for so-called 'help', which made Nagato's heart more and more vigilant.

"Help?"

"Eh, it just seems like it's a little early for you now."

Nagato was a little puzzled and came to ask for his help, but said that he couldn't help now?

What is it. Wait a minute.

He suddenly became distracted.

"You mean"

The black-robed man nodded slightly, "That's right, it will take until you fully master those eyes." ”

"I refuse."

The categorical refusal caused the air in the house to stagnate.

The black-robed man's own slightly strange voice became more and more weird at the moment, as if sighing.

"You're not going to listen to my terms?"

Nagato shook his head firmly and slowly.

"I will not abuse these eyes for anything, they exist only to see the path of peace."

"Besides, Your Excellency doesn't even have the courage to show your true face, so how can I trust you?"

The dimly lit room is full of shadows.

After a moment of silence, the black robe seemed to smile softly.

"Is it true that you won't abuse it anyway?"

"When"

Nagato's rebuttal to blurt out suddenly slammed into his throat.

Of course, he will not forget the reason why he needs to lie in bed and recuperate at this moment.

Although Yahiko was in danger at that time, he had no choice but to do it.

But in the end, he still uses this power to damage. He even killed others.

Is this really not an abuse?

Even if it is to save his companions, don't they still kill other people's 'companions' in the end?

There is no reason to take hurting someone for granted as an excuse.

Otherwise, peace will always be a pretext.

You have your new hatred, I have my old hatred.

Everyone has a reason to hurt or even kill someone, and that reason creates a new 'reason'.

Chains of hatred are born, and endless conquests become tragedies that never end.

"So, can you consider my request now? I won't let you hurt others. ”

"I refuse."

"It's okay not to answer in such a hurry, after all, even if you want to help now, you don't have that ability."

“.”

"So your goal. Actually, it's my eyes, right? ”

The black-robed man was silent for a long time.

"It seems that Xiao, who is the so-called "Akatsuki who implements the path of peace through equal exchanges", is actually not so fond of communicating with words."

"It's not the same"

Before Nagato could refute again, a kunai under the black robe struck in front of Nagato's eyes at a speed that was almost impossible for ordinary people to see.

Nagato saw that he was too weak to avoid this kunai.

But there seemed to be a strange sound.

When the kunai was only a palm away from Nagato, it was bounced off as if it were bizarre.

But at this moment, the black-robed man seemed to be with the Ku Wu, and the moment he was bounced away, he came to Nagato's eyes in an instant.

Nagato's hands had not yet been closed, and the release of Wind Escape Gale Palm was strangled at the stage of condensing Chakra.

This is the first time that Nagato has not been able to see the speed with these eyes.

The black-robed man's palm clasped Nagato's throat.

"There's something you're mistaken."

The red-haired young man's strange eyes were full of horror, and the person in front of him seemed to be far more terrifying than he thought.

"First, you may not be as determined as you think."

Nagato was slightly stunned.

"Second, if I wanted these eyes, they wouldn't be on you long ago."

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside the door.

"Nagato ???"

Although Nagato was not familiar enough with the ability of the eye of reincarnation, this early version of the 'Shinra Heavenly Sign' still caused a lot of noise in the room.

But when Xiao Nan pushed the door open suddenly, he only found the long door stunned on the bed.

It's just that in his eyes at the moment, there is only confusion. With the slightest terror.

This scene is very familiar to Xiao Nan.

She stepped forward and gently stroked Nagato's head as they had done when they were children.

"Nagato. Another nightmare? ”

Nagato opened his mouth slightly, but remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he simply replied:

"Well, I'm sorry."

Thanks to the "book friend with tail number 42816" and "Minguan" for the monthly pass, thank you.
