In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

At this moment, the corpse of the Anbu was lying on the ground. He thought he was about to go down there, but he didn't expect Nagato to save him.

"Nagato, thank you."

Konan quickly thanked Nagato and then left the area.

Nagato did not reply; he looked around in silence for a long time.

"Nagato, Konan is thanking you! Can't you even speak properly?!"

Seeing that there was no danger, Yahiko once again became Nagato's mortal enemy, and they would taunt each other at the slightest disagreement!

"It's alright, it's what I should do. Let's leave first, I have a feeling something's not right here!"

Nagato could only respond with a single sentence, and then quickly left with the two of them.

Because he now felt that the situation here was too strange.

When he made his move, others might not have noticed, but he did.

A powerful and strange force indicates that there is a strong person inside, and that it was that strong person who saved them.

But who exactly is this powerful figure, and why is he protecting them?

At this moment, Nagato's heart was filled with doubt.

But the most important thing now is to leave as soon as possible.

If they stay here any longer, that top-tier powerhouse might become unpredictable and kill them.

"Yes, you're right. Let's leave quickly."

At this moment, Yahiko was unusually obedient and left the cave directly.

After all, Nagato was right; this place was indeed very strange.

He didn't even want to come in at first, and with this disgusting smell, how did these guys manage to stay here?

Farewell, distinguished guests!

At this moment, the two cursed warriors bowed to the three of them and then turned and returned to the laboratory.

Are they even alive?

Yahiko couldn't help but blurt out his thoughts.

Because the other party was just too strange.

These guys seem to have no feelings at all; they didn't even seem to care when they were in danger.

"Alright, something's strange here. Let's get out of here quickly."

Nagato grabbed Yahiko's arm and pulled him out. In no time, the three of them ran out at top speed.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go hand in my mission."

After bringing the two of them back to the gambling den, Nagato went inside alone.

Tengokuchin, who was following behind, checked and found that Tsunade had already left, so he didn't go in either.

Before long, Nagato came out of the gambling den, holding a reward of one thousand taels in his hand!

"Yay! We completed the mission!"

Yahiko couldn't help but jump up, and even Konan's face lit up with a smile.

Although this mission is very dangerous, the rewards are also very generous.

This was their first pot of gold in their lives!

"They don't seem to be from Akatsuki. Let's go ask headquarters."

At this moment, the person in charge looked out the window at the several children dancing and gesturing, and he was already certain that these were not members of the Akatsuki organization.

Moreover, there are actually quite a few people who impersonate the Akatsuki organization to receive missions.

So when he sensed something was wrong, he didn't say anything.

To his surprise, the children actually completed the mission unharmed.

That's why he reported this matter to headquarters.

No-Hidden Village Akatsuki Headquarters

At that moment, Itachi Uchiha was looking at the recent bills when Hidan walked in from outside.

"Boss, we've got a new ally this time, the puppeteer genius Sasori from Sunagakure."

"Yes, I already know about that."

When Sasori joined the Akatsuki, it caused quite a stir, so Itachi Uchiha, as the leader, was well aware of this.

"Is there anything else?"

Itachi Uchiha was surprised to see that Hidan hadn't left yet, and looked up at him.

"Here's the thing, recently three kids have been impersonating us to get missions. Should we deal with them?"

As Hidan spoke, he placed pictures of Nagato and the other two in front of Itachi Uchiha.

When Itachi Uchiha saw Nagato's photo, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

He then put the photos away.

"Keep an eye on things, don't worry about them for now. If anything happens, come and report back. If nothing else, you can go."

Hidan had no objections, nodded, and then walked out of the office.

Upon seeing Hidan leave the office, Itachi Uchiha then took out a picture of Nagato.

"The Rinnegan? It seems it really does exist in this world. Interesting child!"

Itachi Uchiha smiled and then stopped paying attention to these things.

The relationship between the various villages is getting worse and worse, and they are even having more and more tasks assigned to them.

This is why Itachi Uchiha allowed this.

Chapter 597 A Slap to Wake Up

"Haha, Nagato, now that we've earned our first sum of money, what are we going to do with it?"

Yahiko couldn't help but smile as he looked at the silver notes in his hand, which contained an amount he had never seen before.

"Yahiko, we worked so hard to earn this money, we must be careful with it!"

Konan didn't give Yahiko a chance to refuse at all, and directly stepped forward and snatched the silver from Yahiko's hand.

"........"

Yahiko looked at Minami with a frustrated expression. It was money he had risked his life to earn.

It's outrageous that they're preventing people from spending money now!

Meanwhile, Tianyu, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Someone who used an overwhelming number of explosive tags in a single battle is now saying he's afraid of wasting money?

This left Tianyu feeling quite helpless, and he shook his head from the shadows.

Nagato didn't have any objections either; having money to eat was definitely a good thing for them.

"It seems the Akatsuki organization doesn't want to deal with us, so we can continue taking on missions."

This is what Nagato cares about most right now.

This time, he accepted a low-level mission just to see how the Akatsuki would treat them.

If they really send someone to find them, they can just explain it to them, and out of respect for their master, it won't be a big deal.

However, seeing that they could receive the prize money, Nagato's face also showed a smile.

Even if the teachers don't come back, they now have their own ways of making money.

This is undoubtedly a very good thing for them.

"In that case, could we improve our meals?"

Yahiko was at his wit's end and had no choice but to compromise.

He knew Xiao Nan's temper very well; if she resisted again, she might get angry again.

I'd better just listen obediently. After all, the initial purpose of making money was to earn more money to eat.

If Konan restricts even this much, then Yahiko is going to completely go berserk.

Xiao Nan was aware of this, so she didn't go too far. She nodded and took out a small change.

"Of course, let's treat ourselves to something nice today and have some beef!"

"Great!"

Yahiko jumped up excitedly; he hadn't seen beef in ages.

Although Jiraiya earned a decent amount of money, supporting four people was a very difficult task.

In addition to the energy expenditure of being ninjas, they could only afford to eat fish or chicken occasionally.

Now that he can actually eat beef, Yahiko is becoming more and more convinced of his original choice.

If they hadn't gone out on missions back then, they would still be at home eating plain porridge and pickled vegetables!

"They really never grow up."

Xiao Nan made a sarcastic remark, then led the two to a market, bought some beef and ingredients, and went back.

——

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Jiraiya had returned from outside. Seeing the village in such a chaotic state, his expression turned very unpleasant.

"What exactly happened? How did it get into such a mess?"

Jiraiya frowned slightly, wondering what was going on in the village.

Even when I left, this place wasn't this chaotic!
