Chapter 133: You Will Die 【15】
Chapter 133: You Will Die 【15】
Even during times of war, Konoha would never send a team of ninjas to attack a Rain Country town and slaughter innocent civilians.
Even if Danzo commanded the Root to do so, they would undoubtedly disguise themselves as ninjas from other villages and frame them for the crimes, never daring to act under Konoha's banner.
Obviously.
This group of ninjas attacking the town had nothing to do with Konoha.
"Can they escape?"
A cold light flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, and a silver glow flickered for an instant.
Swish!!!
To Yahiko, Konan, and the others' shocked gazes, a silver thread suddenly weaved through the streets, effortlessly gliding past the dozen or so 'Konoha ninjas.'
The fleeing ninjas' figures froze.
Almost everyone's eyes widened in horror and fear, struggling to react, but they couldn't do anything as their bodies were uniformly severed, spraying blood onto the ground!
Pu Chi!
White smoke rose from the numerous ninjas bisected by Feng Ye, their appearances as Konoha ninjas faded, replaced by the attire of Sunagakure ninjas.
"Sunagakure ninjas, huh..."
"Looks like they aren't planning on backing down from the war so easily."
Feng Ye's figure stopped not far away, sheathing his Kusanaagi sword. He then turned and looked at the numerous dead Sunagakure ninjas on the ground.
The silvery light bathing him silently dissipated.
Then.
Feng Ye raised his head and looked in Yahiko's direction.
"!"
Yahiko, who was still in shock, felt a chill down his spine when he noticed Feng Ye's gaze. He felt as if a terrifying presence had fixed its stare on him.
There was no doubt that Feng Ye, who could instantly kill over a dozen ninjas, possessed the ability to kill him in an instant as well. The young man before him might look around the same age, but his strength had reached a terrifying level that was hard to believe!
Step!
Pein took a step forward, gripping a kunai and warily eyeing Feng Ye.
Konan and the other Akatsuki members snapped out of their shock, their gazes fixed tensely on Feng Ye, each clutching their weapons tightly as cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
What speed was that!
Who was this ninja before them?!
"A-Are you a Konoha ninja?"
Yahiko swallowed, mustering his courage to ask as he felt Feng Ye's stare.
Feng Ye sized Yahiko up, then glanced at Konan and Pein, pausing slightly longer on Pein's exposed Rinnegan.
"Yes."
Feng Ye replied indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and approached the Hidden Sand Village ninja corpses, beginning to search and deal with them.
Yahiko and the others stiffened, finding the atmosphere extremely bizarre. They wanted to leave, but they dared not make any sudden movements.
The scene fell silent.
Only the sounds of Feng Ye handling the bodies remained.
In this eerie and oppressive atmosphere, Yahiko gradually calmed down. He judged that Feng Ye didn't intend to kill them and probably didn't hold any hostile intentions. He seemed only interested in dealing with the Sunagakure ninjas who had impersonated Konoha to frame them. Yahiko took a breath and cautiously asked:
"Do you know Jiraiya-sensei? How is he doing now?"
"Jiraiya is not here."
Feng Ye finished dealing with the bodies and started walking down the street.
Yahiko and the others tensed as Feng Ye approached, their palms sweating. But Feng Ye merely walked past them.
Watching Feng Ye walk away, Yahiko hesitated before mustering his courage and calling out, "I heard that Konoha is currently fighting with the Rain Ninjas... Can't you resolve this through peaceful means? If needed, I can act as a mediator between you and the Rain Ninjas."
Feng Ye stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Yahiko.
"Naive," he said.
Yahiko froze, taken aback by the response. "Don't all countries wish to end the constant state of war? Why not use negotiation to bring an end to the conflict?"
Feng Ye gave him a nonchalant look. "That would require a foundation of mutual trust, but unfortunately, humans are incapable of trusting each other... If you continue to hold on to such naive ideals, you will die."
With that, Feng Ye resumed walking and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
Even after Feng Ye was out of sight, the ninjas surrounding Yahiko remained frozen in place, their backs drenched in cold sweat from the oppressive atmosphere he had left behind.
The few ninjas who had come with Yahiko stared at him, surprised that he had dared to attempt communication with such a terrifying entity.
After all, this was someone who could annihilate them all in an instant!
"Yahiko..." Nagato said, his voice laced with concern.
Yahiko stood there, his gaze fixed on the direction in which Feng Ye had disappeared. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "It is precisely because everyone holds on to such thoughts that mutual understanding is impossible. Mark my words, I will lead this world to peace!" He clenched his fists, his determination unwavering despite Feng Ye's ominous warning.
Seeing this, Nagato let out a sigh of relief.
Konan, who had been staring after Feng Ye, turned her attention back to the group. "Who exactly was that ninja? With that kind of strength, even Jiraiya-sensei would probably..."
Yahiko furrowed his brow in thought, recalling the encounter. He turned to look at the Sunagakure ninja corpses nearby and said, "Those Konoha... no, those Sunagakure ninjas seemed to call him—Silver Flash?"
"I didn't catch his exact name," Konan murmured. "But a ninja with such abilities must be famous throughout the ninja world. We'll surely be able to find out more about him eventually."
"Mmm," Yahiko nodded, then sighed.
If only he could be a ninja like Toad Sage Jiraiya, with power that commanded respect. Then, perhaps he could truly mediate between the great nations and bring about peace.
...
The encounter with Yahiko's trio and the earliest members of the Akatsuki organization was but a small interlude in Feng Ye's journey.
Feng Ye considered whether to make a move for Nagato's Rinnegan but ultimately decided against it. Nagato was already strong; he was merely holding back his own power. If he were to let loose, the battle would be far from quick and easy.
Uchiha Madara had not yet been completely eradicated, and Nagato was surely under his watchful eye. Any move against Nagato would undoubtedly draw Madara out.
There was no need to pick a fight with Madara just yet.
As time went on, Feng Ye's strength would only grow, eventually reaching the level of a Super Kage, or even the Six Paths. When that time came, the entire ninja world would be within his grasp.
