Humans are ‘puppets’ manipulated by emotions.

Minato was a little disappointed and helpless when he didn't get the answer he wanted.

With a little regret, he was well equipped and said goodbye to everyone, and then left the village.

His mission this time is a very critical point, and he can only succeed but not fail.

Ye Zi didn't know that Konoha Village wanted to learn about the information from Xiaonan. He also set out from the stronghold and headed straight to Yu Nin Village. He wanted to deal with Xiaonan as an insider as soon as possible in a limited time, and persuade other core members of Akatsuki to obey the orders.

Their strength can play a more or less role, but Konan doesn't need to use her in the final plan, thinking that Nagato is dead.

Country of Rain, Rain Ninja Village.

Konan took Yahiko's body and returned to Yunin Village first.

Located in the middle of the village, a very abundant space has been expanded under the tower. One of the rooms is specially made, with many cables covered with walls and the ground, which are covered by special techniques, making it less easy to see these cables.

The room was large and empty, with bright lights as bright as daytime.

White columns carved with many flowers, plants and trees are arranged in two rows, leaving a jade-like avenue in the middle to lead directly to the most gorgeous funeral.

The flowers folded from white paper were clustered in clusters and placed in a rectangular stone coffin. There was a pale man lying inside, which was Yahiko's body brought back by Konan.

The coffin was filled with white flowers, Yahiko's hands were placed peacefully on her chest, and a beautiful paper flower was held in the bloodless hands.

Yahiko's body was placed in a sea of ​​paper flowers, and around the coffin were countless white paper flowers.

This may be a tomb, but not a dark and cold underground, but a shrouded in holy light.

There are only white tones in the whole room, which contains unknown profound meanings.

The white floor is as white as jade, depicting the white pillars of the world, and is filled with a sea of ​​white paper flowers of blessings, illuminating the lights of the entire room.

In this white world, Xiaonan's black clothes looked very abrupt. She stood in front of the coffin, holding her hands together, lowered her head slightly, and stared silently at the quiet and peaceful Yahiko in the coffin, with an extremely complicated expression on her face.

She hoped that Nagato would return successfully, but as time passed, Nagato never returned.

I feel like I have mixed feelings in my heart, but I don’t know which one to take.

If a human puppet manipulated by emotion can reach out to break the "line", then Xiaonan will only leave a line called "trust".

She firmly believed that Nagato would definitely come back. Maybe something was delayed, but she was a human being after all, and could not break the lines that manipulate her.

After so many days, Nagato has not returned yet, and Ye Zi and Bai Jue have lost their traces, as if reminding her that reality is often not the beauty she imagines.

So, even if she was willing to believe in Nagato, she had to make some preparations.

"That man..."

Xiaonan pursed her lips tightly. Maybe she didn't notice it herself. There was panic in her eyes. The passing time had already reminded her at all times.

The journey from Konoha to Rainland... If Nagato succeeds, he should have come back.

Slowly closing his eyes, Xiaonan prayed sincerely, and the light shrouded on her body, as holy as an angel.

Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Yahiko with a deep sadness in vain.

Tat... Tat...

Like an unclosed faucet, it keeps dripping water droplets into the sink at a slow and orderly interval, making rhythmic sounds.

The sound of gentle and powerful footsteps was particularly harsh in this quiet room.

A black figure, like a sharp black sword, slashed into this world filled with light.

The sound is harsh and the figure is dazzling.

The sadness on Xiaonan's face was triggered by this figure coming, and under the sadness, there was deep despair.

She slowly turned around, with a desolate and sorrowful expression, slowly turning to a expressionless face as she slowly turned to a figure walking towards this side.

This figure was Ye Zi. He took a lot of effort and time to find it.

Ye Zi slowly raised his head, his calm eyes moved up from the layers of white jade steps, and finally landed on Xiao Nan's expressionless face, and said lightly: "The barrier set up during his life has caused me insignificant trouble."

There is a barrier that protects this room, so that even if Ye Zi turns on the immortal mode, he cannot find this place as soon as possible.

I thought I could easily find Konan and then kill her, but I wasted a lot of time by the barrier set up by Nagato.

When he heard Ye Zi's words, Xiaonan's forced suppression of emotions could not help but reveal a trace of it from his expressionless face.

Her eyes trembled slightly, staring at Ye Zi, gritted her teeth and asked, "Nakamen..."

"Diet." Ye Zi interrupted when Xiaonan spoke.

After getting the answer you least wanted to hear, Xiaonan's body trembled, and the valve that could no longer control his emotions, and his expressionless face showed deep sorrow and despair.

When she prayed again, she felt that Ye Zi, an outsider who did not belong here, came, so she got the answer she didn't want from Ye Zi.

She built a fragile city wall and firmly believed that Nagato could return successfully. Even if time eroded the city wall little by little, she still stubbornly supported the city wall and prevented it from collapsing.

The self-deceiving thoughts and the empty and exaggerated city wall built collapsed in Ye Zi's cold and ruthless and brief declaration.

Ye Zi's eyes were cold, and he stretched out his hand, facing upwards. Under Xiaonan's gaze, the five open fingers slowly clenched.

"I killed him, just a little force, and he broke his neck."

The cold and monotonous description immediately made Xiaonan's heart irresistible anger.

Swish!

A pair of white wings stretched out from behind Xiaonan, and the storm blew up the paper flowers near the coffin, as if falling in all directions, walking towards the end of the cherry blossoms, pulling out a curtain of back that was about to end.

"I just regret not killing you." Xiaonan said hatefully.

If Nagato didn't think that Ye Zi was of some value, but followed her advice and killed Ye Zi directly, maybe everything would be different.

Unfortunately, there is no if. The companions who have been walking along the way die, Yahiko dies, and Nagato dies... On this long road, he has made so many sacrifices, but in the end he only fails.

However, whether she or Nagato, she did not realize her position, but was just a chess piece controlled by a pair of big hands.

Ye Zi suddenly showed a cold smile and said coldly: "Is this your last words before your death as a loser?"

Xiaonan's eyes darkened and she said in a deep voice: "What is your purpose?"

Ye Zi's background was the same as theirs. He also lost his family in the endless war, was tortured by the war-torn environment, and even almost starved to death in the world at that time.

However, Ye Zi embarked on a different path.

"You don't need to know this." Ye Zi slowly pulled out the long knife.

Many people want to know what his purpose is...but the answer can only be deposited deep in his heart.
