After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

I am confident that I can handle this matter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

"This..." Konan hesitated, glancing at Nagato. Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, she finally shook her head and agreed, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you..."

It's probably to prevent Bai Ye from bothering him, right?

Xiao Nan felt that she hadn't explained herself clearly just now.

However, Nagato should be able to guess what he means.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

"Okay, go tell Bai Ye to come find me!"

Nagato nodded, since Konan had agreed.

Then it's up to you to make the decision.

"it is good."

Xiao Nan transformed into a piece of paper and then went to find Bai Ye.

Payne is looking for you.

"You came in without knocking?"

Bai Ye stared at Xiao Nan, who was gathering paper scraps into a human shape, with a strange expression.

He is numb!

Luckily, I didn't do anything else. If I had, Xiao Nan would have seen everything.

"I'm just here to remind you, and I have no interest in your affairs."

"..."

no! ?

So he hasn't even said anything yet!

What's it to me?

Just as Bai Ye was about to ask a question, Xiao Nan had already turned into a piece of paper and flown away.

This woman....

It seems like she's been rather cold towards me ever since she came back last time.

Have I offended her recently?!

Chapter 121 - Sister Nan, this is emotional abuse!

"Payne, you were looking for me?"

Bai Ye couldn't get any answers from Xiao Nan.

Before he could say anything, Xiao Nan left.

I feel like there's been a lot of trouble since I joined the Akatsuki.

Every time it's a meeting, just like when I was working. My salary was meager, and there were endless meetings every day. It's the same now. Every day is either work or meetings, and I'm even dragged into small meetings by Payne.

Although Bai Ye didn't really want to, since his previous plan included this issue of Payne, he decided to accept it.

Bai Ye naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Yes, I need to talk to you about something."

Payne glanced at Byakuya and, recalling how Konan had looked when she returned, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

These two probably had a falling out on their way back.

Before leaving, it seems that Xiao Nan said she wanted to get to know Bai Ye.

But things were different after I came back.

He doesn't have much experience, but he can still tell by looking.

Fortunately, Payne stopped pretending at this point and directly said to Byakuya, "You and Konan will go on a mission together later."

he?

With Xiaonan?

Bai Ye glanced at Pain in surprise, since Konan had always teamed up with Pain.

And they even made him and Xiao Nan go together.

What is Nagato thinking?

Although Nagato has always been confident in Konan's abilities, he rarely lets her complete missions alone or in a team with others.

The main purpose is to protect Xiao Nan.

Now, Nagato is actually asking him and Konan to go together.

Is this a test of himself, or does it mean he has complete confidence in himself?

"No one else?"

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly asked a question. Hearing his question, Payne looked at him strangely and asked, "Who else do you want?"

Logically speaking, if the two of them have any disagreements after I made this arrangement, then...

So, the two of them can easily manage on their own while on the road.

Whether it's to resolve a disagreement or to cultivate a relationship.

Isn't it best if two people are together?

Didn't Bai Ye say he liked Xiao Nan back then?

Why does he feel that his arrangement is a little strange?

"No...it's just a little strange..."

Bai Ye shook his head, simply feeling that something was a little strange.

However, since Payne has made this arrangement, there is no way to refuse.

"Then you should get ready. I'll have Xiao Nan come find you later."

Payne nodded, wondering if it was just his imagination before Bai Ye left.

Bai Ye felt that the other person's gaze was somewhat meaningful. Had he misunderstood something?

Shaking his head, Bai Ye finally gave up trying to guess Payne's thoughts and turned to leave.

After Bai Ye left, Xiao Nan appeared and asked, "Do you really want me to go on the mission with him?"

Byakuya could have gone on this mission by himself, or even waited for Kisame to go with him.

After all, Byakuya and Kisame are teammates, and they will be teaming up together later, so it might be better to let the other go at this time.

"No, firstly, there's not enough time, and secondly, we just got the intelligence. If we go later, they might have already left."

Secondly, this was also my arrangement. It's better than Kisame teaming up with him. They can do missions together in the future. This time, it's just you and Byakuya going together.

The first reason Nagato made this arrangement was that Zetsu had just managed to gather intelligence on the enemy.

If you go any later, you might not have another chance.

Another arrangement is to have Bai Ye and Xiao Nan together.

Since Kisame hasn't arrived yet, and there's still the matter of arranging their relationship, this is the only way I can make the arrangements.

"This mission has two purposes: firstly, to acquire a decent item, and secondly, to annoy Orochimaru."

After all, I had said back then not to lay a hand on any official members of the organization, but Orochimaru didn't seem to listen to me at all!

Zetsu is looking for him now. Before finding him, we can capture that guy first. Orochimaru seems quite interested in that technique.

This mission itself was also for that thing and the disgusting Orochimaru.

It was also to nurture the relationship between the two.

"I understand. Speaking of which, can that be absorbed?"

"No, theoretically it shouldn't be allowed, but we can try to catch it."

Nagato shook his head, even though the names weren't that different.

But in reality, the two sides are not closely related, so it is impossible for them to absorb each other.

However, Nagato also felt that it was worth trying to take it back.

"I understand, there's also that secret technique, right?"

"Yes, that secret technique is something Orochimaru has always coveted. I also want to see if it will be useful to me..."

"I'll get it back for you!"

Konan stared intently at Nagato, her gaze fixed on Nagato's legs.

If this technique is truly effective, then it can also be used to heal Nagato's injuries, since it was created by him.
