Chapter 1034: The Power of Talk-no-jutsu, My Prince
Chapter 1034: The Power of Talk-no-jutsu, My Prince
Yecheng, a disciple of Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, was a fact that Kakashi was well aware of.
Kakashi also knew that Tsunade was renowned as the strongest medical ninja in the entire Ninja World. As her disciple, he expected Yecheng's medical ninjutsu to be exceptional.
However, he never imagined that Yecheng's medical ninjutsu would be so powerful, bordering on the realm of the divine.
Well, in a way, Kakashi felt that this was an entirely different art, far beyond the scope of medical ninjutsu.
After all, he had never heard of medical ninjutsu being so potent that it could heal a dying person to full recovery in a short time, even replenishing the life force and chakra that had been depleted from their body.
With such a formidable technique, Kakashi couldn't even fathom the outcome if both sides fought to exhaustion and Yecheng used this technique on him.
Konan, who had been unconscious due to severe injuries, felt as if she had just experienced a beautiful dream, and her body was enveloped in a warm, soothing light.
When she regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes, she saw a white-haired ninja with his hands placed on her chest, and Pain, the leader of the Six Paths, standing behind him.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Konan was about to react when the white-haired ninja, with a serious expression, said, "Don't move yet. The treatment for your heart is a bit tricky, and I need to focus on controlling my chakra."
Konan's face flushed at his words. (///▽///)
So, he was treating the injury to her heart, which explained why Kakashi stood by and watched without interfering.
A greenish glow gathered in front of Konan, and the tingling yet warm sensation made her want to moan aloud.
However, considering her usual demeanor and Kakashi's presence, Konan could only bite her lip and endure the discomfort, causing Kakashi to think that the treatment was painful, making her grit her teeth.
After what felt like an eternity, the treatment finally ended.
Konan struggled to stand, her legs feeling weak, and she was grateful that the Akatsuki's robes were long, preventing an embarrassing situation in front of Yecheng and Kakashi.
Despite saving Konan, Kakashi still harbored animosity towards Yecheng, who now turned to Konan, signaling with her eyes that it was her turn to act.
"Kakashi, I think we've been wrong all this time. What we're doing now isn't what Yahiko would have wanted.
Yahiko was kinder than anyone, and he genuinely believed that true peace would eventually come to this world.
But look around you, Kakashi. See the devastation, the cries of the people. Is this what Yahiko... what we truly desired?"
Pain surveyed the surroundings, and the scene before him evoked memories of his first encounter with Yahiko and Konan.
Amegakure, like now, had just emerged from the ravages of war, leaving the village in ruins and its residents displaced, resulting in numerous war orphans.
The difference was that this time, Kakashi was partly responsible for the devastation caused by the Second Shinobi World War.
"For true peace, some sacrifices are necessary. Yahiko died because he trusted others too much.
If the people of the Ninja World don't experience true pain, how will they ever understand the preciousness of peace?"
Initially, Kakashi was somewhat convinced by Konan's words, but every time he recalled Yahiko's death in his arms, he felt the world needed to bear the pain.
Seeing that her words of persuasion fell on deaf ears, Yecheng, standing nearby, let out a deep sigh.
It seemed that only the power of words could convince the Hokage World's female ninjas, despite their online beauty, lacked the eloquence to sway Nagato.
Yecheng, having saved Obito and Rin from Uchiha Madara's grasp, felt a surge of compassion for Nagato and his companions, who shared a similar tragic fate.
But if Nagato remained stubborn, he couldn't blame himself for being merciless! He had little connection with Nagato and his group, and his sole motivation for offering assistance was to make amends for his past regrets, driven by a fleeting sense of sympathy.
In the vast Ninja World, life goes on without anyone, and if Nagato refused to cooperate, the only option was to eliminate him.
Konan, with her keen perception, instantly sensed the shift in Yecheng's emotions.
Realizing Yecheng's murderous intent towards Nagato, she swiftly took action without hesitation. She strode forward and delivered a powerful slap to Pain's face, stunning him.
Konan's slap not only shocked Pain but also left Yecheng, standing beside them, completely dumbfounded.
In their minds, Konan had always been a gentle and calm woman, obedient to Yahiko and Nagato. This was the first time Nagato had ever been slapped by her...
Yahiko, despite his mischievous ways, had often been scolded and reprimanded by Konan. But for Nagato, this was an unprecedented first.
Nagato, even as the founder of the Akatsuki, found himself staring at Yecheng with his Rinnegan after receiving Konan's unexpected slap.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ head ⊥ hair!
He now strongly suspected that Yecheng, during Konan's treatment, had secretly influenced her, perhaps using genjutsu to manipulate her.
Having grown up together, this was the first time Konan had struck him. Although Pain, Yahiko's body, had been slapped...
"Stop staring at him. I'm perfectly fine, and I'm not under any genjutsu influence.
It's just that I suddenly realized how self-centered you are! You want to follow Yahiko's legacy, make the world feel pain, and then achieve true peace.
But have you ever considered if Yahiko wanted you to do this? Have you asked those suffering if they're willing to endure pain?
All of this is merely your unilateral decision, and how can you be sure that Yahiko's path was wrong and not a complete conspiracy?"
After slapping Nagato, Konan quickly repeated the words Yecheng had spoken to her.
Upon hearing the truth from Konan, Nagato was stunned, frozen in place like he had been struck by lightning.
He understood his situation better than Konan. For instance, he suspected that the Rinnegan didn't truly belong to him.
To Konan, Yecheng's words might seem absurd, but as the user of the Rinnegan, Nagato could sense that Yecheng was telling the truth.
Not long ago, when he attempted to use the Rinnegan's power to restrain the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he had discovered a hint of its true nature.
