late at night.
In Yuyin Village.
Naraku Uehara and Konan finally came back.
"Teacher, you go to rest first!"
Uehara Naraku immediately arranged for Xiao Nan to go back to rest. He looked at Xiao Nan with tired eyes, and continued softly: "I will go to the organization's base and tell them the news of Nagato-sama's sacrifice."
[Receive cash red envelopes] Read the book and get cash! Follow WeChat. Official account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/coins are waiting for you!
Uehara Naraku intends to go to Akatsuki's base alone, and by the way strengthen the confidence of those members. Those members believe in him so much, and Uehara doesn't want to let them down.
In fact, the Akatsuki organization is like a dilapidated family. The relationship between the members of the family is highly tense. Now that Nagato died, the family is on the verge of dissolution.
It's a pity that these members seem to like to find their own warmth in this highly tense relationship, and they don't really want this organization to disband.
Of course, they don't want this home to be too different.
So Uehara Naraku intends to appease those people. In fact, it is mainly Didara, the red sand scorpion and Kadozu. After all, they are also old friends.
The remaining people are basically Naraku Uehara's subordinates, or relatives of his subordinates. They don't need to worry much at all. They trust Uehara Naraku's boss very much.
Oh, and there's a Hi-Duan on the brink of mutiny.
This guy Hidan is not very honest, if it really can't work, Naraku Uehara will simply give him a dead end and let him go by himself.
Xiao Nan rubbed his forehead, and said with worry on his face: "I'll go with you! Those traitors who know the news of Nagato's sacrifice don't know what will happen... We might as well let them all leave! "
"..."
Naraku Uehara couldn't laugh or cry.
The point is that those guys simply refuse to leave!
Even Fei Duan, who might defect at any moment, was temporarily appeased by Jiaodu, and Didara and the Scarlet Sand Scorpion were even more focused on staying in the Akatsuki organization until it disbanded.
"Let's go by myself!"
Uehara Naraku shook his head, put his hand on Xiaonan's forehead, and said softly: "How long has it been since you took a rest, go and rest first."
"..."
Xiao Nan hesitated and bit his lips, then slowly lowered his head and said, "Let me go with you, I'm a little worried..."
"..."
Uehara Naraku fell silent for a moment.
To be honest, Xiaonan's current state is not quite right.
Since Nagato's sacrifice, Xiaonan's condition was okay at the beginning.
Even when Nagato sacrificed, Konan did not lose his composure too much, making Naraku Uehara think that she might have gotten used to the sadness of losing relatives and friends.
As time got longer and longer, on the way they returned to Yuyin Village from Muye, Xiaonan's condition gradually became a little bit worse, and she spent more and more time in a daze.
Xiaonan is not without sadness.
But her heart was too painful to suppress all this.
Naraku Uehara believes that what Xiaonan needs more now is rest. It might be better if Xiaonan can hide in bed and cry out his grief secretly.
"Then we all go to rest now."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Xiaonan who was full of doubts, stretched out his palm to wrap her shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Wait until we rest, and then go to the organization's base, okay?"
"…it is good."
Konan nodded hesitantly.
Uehara Naraku finally breathed a sigh of relief, under Xiao Nan's own eyes, he walked into his room slowly and lay down on the bed.
Maybe it was because of Nagato's sacrifice that made Xiaonan feel afraid?
Just when Uehara Naraku wanted to leave Yuyin Village quietly with his fate, he saw Xiaonan's head appearing on a high tower in Yuyin Village. Uehara Naraku's expression changed and he flew out of his room.
Xiaonan didn't know when she stood alone on the high 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 appeared extremely thin on the tower.
At this moment, an atmosphere of loneliness surrounded her.
"teacher?"
Uehara Naraku's figure floated beside Xiao Nan, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked softly, "You should go to rest now, why can't you still fall asleep?"
"..."
Xiao Nan nodded, then shook his head again.
After a while, Xiao Nan slowly lowered his head, glanced at the somewhat quiet Yuyin Village, and said with a depressed mood: "This village will not rain in the middle of the night anymore...I'm still not used to it."
in the past.
Every time when it is getting late, in order to prevent the patrolling ninjas of Yuyin Village from having loopholes due to the darkness, Nagato will manipulate Tiandao Payne to make a heavy rain, and use the rain tiger's free technique to judge some strangers who have sneaked into the village. enemy.
For so many years, Nagato has never stopped this habit.
Even Naraku Uehara gradually got used to the fact that it will rain when it gets dark. Whenever it gets late, he will fall asleep with the sound of rain.
However, in Yuyin Village, the sound of rain in the middle of the night for many years disappeared overnight, causing Xiaonan's heart to resurface with a wordless grief.
"Naraku, it's really strange..."
Xiaonan's tears gradually ran across her face, and slowly dripped down: "When Nagato sacrificed, although I felt sad and painful in my heart, I didn't even shed tears. Now I just don't Hear the sound of rain he made..."
Xiaonan's voice was choked with sorrow, she could no longer hide the grief of losing her best friend, she looked at the silent village in despair and cried loudly.
Naraku Uehara lowered his head slowly.
At this moment, he could well understand Xiao Nan's hidden grief.
Just because people may not shed tears or even act normal when someone close to them dies doesn't mean they don't feel pain.
Because when people really realize that there is one person missing in their lives, they see that the traces of that person's existence gradually dissipate...
At that time, people finally realized in their hearts that there was a complete loss of someone in their lives, and when longing began to spread, that sadness and despair would emerge.
Naraku Uehara stared at Xiao Nan who was crying, and slowly stretched out his finger. A chakra light appeared on his fingertips, and he shot it into the sky with his fingers.
The next moment, a dark cloud gradually appeared in the sky.
Thunder and lightning converged in the cloudy clouds, and the rain fell in a patter. A few seconds later, there was a heavy rain in the village.
The sound of the rain grew louder, hiding Xiaonan's crying.
Naraku Uehara stood beside Xiao Nan, slowly stretched out his palm, hugged Xiao Nan who was crying into tears, and blocked the torrential rain for her.
On top of the high tower in Yuyin Village.
Xiaonan stood here like this, clutching Uehara Naraku's clothes, weeping bitterly in Uehara Naraku's arms, suffering from the pain of losing his best friend.
Even if Uehara Naraku created a heavy rain with his own hands, he still couldn't let Xiaonan relax from the emotion of Nagato's death. He slowly tightened his right arm, stretched out his left hand and covered Xiaonan's head , to shield the rain from falling on her head.
After a long time, Xiao Nan's crying gradually became quieter.
Uehara Naraku finally heaved a sigh of relief, he sent Xiao Nan to his room in silence, and took out a towel to help her wipe the rain and tears off her face.
Xiao Nan was also silently watching Uehara Naraku's movements, she suddenly stretched out her hand, took the towel from Uehara Naraku's hand, and helped him wipe the rain off his cheeks.
"Naraku."
Xiaonan's wrist suddenly wrapped around Uehara Naraku's neck, her forehead touched his forehead, and there was a trace of weakness after crying in her voice: "Don't sacrifice yourself in the future... okay... or after I die..."
"..."
Uehara Naraku stretched out her palm, grabbed Xiao Nan's hair, and pressed it tightly against her forehead, as if this could connect their hearts and make Xiao Nan feel better.
Uehara Naraku's eyes slowly opened, staring at the wet tears under Xiao Nan's eyelashes, he just said a word in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Xiao Nan.
"…it is good."
Because the despair of people around you leaving one by one is actually suffocating, that's why people cherish the current people even more.
After a long time, Uehara Naraku felt Xiaonan's breathing gradually stabilized, and then moved her forehead away, let her lie on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
A gentle look appeared on Uehara Naraku's face, and he said softly: "Sleep, from today onwards, I will be raining in the village every night and weekend..."
"it is good."
Xiao Nan turned her head to look at the raindrops on the window.
After a long time, the feeling of exhaustion finally welled up completely. Xiaonan held Uehara's palm, slowly closed his eyes, his breathing gradually calmed down, and the sound of the rain outside the window also became steady.
After Xiao Nan fell asleep, Uehara Naraku gently pulled out his palm from her hand.
Naraku Uehara watched Xiao Nan's face carefully, as if he was afraid that she would wake up, but he was relieved only when he felt that her breathing was still steady.
after awhile.
Naraku Uehara quietly sensed a puff of chakra entering the rain.
Uehara Naraku opened the skill display panel of fate, his face couldn't help but darken, these guys of Akatsuki seemed to be more anxious than he imagined!
A bunch of Akatsuki members are running towards his room!
Uehara Naraku had a vague illusion that these guys were actually a group of children who were looking for their parents!
