Although they were in the middle of a war, how could Konoha send a team of ninja to attack the cities of the Rain Country and recklessly kill civilians.
Even if Danzo gives such an order, the Root ninja will nevertheless take the guise of ninja from other villages to blame the enemy for this, it is impossible to do such a thing in the name of Konoha.
Obviously.
This group of ninja attacking the city were not Konoha ninja at all.
"Escape?"
Yeruashi said indifferently, and the next moment, his figure was enveloped in a silver light.
Whoosh!!!
Under the stunned gazes of Yahiko and Konan, a silver flash shone down the street, passing by a dozen Konoha ninja.
The ninja who tried to flee abruptly froze in place.
There was horror and panic in their eyes, they tried to do something, but it was too late.
Poof!
When the "Konoha ninjas" were slashed by Yeruashi's sword, their figures were enveloped in white smoke, suddenly the Konoha ninjas were "transformed" into Sunagakure ninjas.
"They are Sunagakure ninja..."
"It seems that they are not going to simply refuse to participate in the war."
Yeruashi's figure appeared nearby, calmly returned Kusanagi's sword to its sheath and turned around to look at the corpses of the Sunagakure ninjas.
The silver light gradually dissipated.
Then.
Yeruashi looked in the direction of where Yahiko was.
"!"
Yahiko shuddered as he felt Yeruashi's eyes on him, his mind was beginning to fill with terror and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was as if a terrifying creature was looking at him.
Yeruashi, who killed dozens of ninjas in the blink of an eye, of course, can kill them as desired. Although this person seems to be the same age as Yahiko, his strength has reached a terrifying degree!
Nagato took a step forward and raised a kunai, extremely alert watching Yeruashi.
Konan and the rest of the ninja stepped back from the fright and looked at Yeruashi very nervously, their hands gripped their weapons tightly, cold sweat pouring from their foreheads.
What's that speed!
Who is this young ninja?
"You... Are you a Konoha ninja?"
Yahiko swallowed saliva nervously and asked tensely.
Yeruashi looked at Yahiko for a moment longer, then turned to Nagato and Konan, his gaze lingering for a moment on Nagato's eyes.
"Yes."
Yeruashi said quietly, then walked over to the corpses of the Sunagakure ninja lying on the ground, examined them carefully and began to search.
Yahiko and the others stood tensely in place, watching Yeruashi, the atmosphere was extremely eerie and strange, they wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, but no one dared to make a move.
The scene was silent.
Only the sounds of bodies being searched could be heard.
In this eerie and strange atmosphere, Yahiko gradually began to calm down and reasoned that since they were still alive, this Konoha ninja was not hostile to them. He only attacked the Sunagakure ninja who were trying to frame the Konoha ninja, coming to this conclusion, Yahiko sighed and cautiously asked, "Do you know Jiraiya-sensei, where is he now?"
"Jiraiya is on a different front now."
Yeruashi finished searching for the body and went down the street.
Seeing this, everyone present tensed even more, the hands holding their weapons began to tremble, but in the end, Yeruashi simply walked past, calmly walking down the street.
Konan hesitated as she saw Yeruashi pass by and hesitantly said, "You seem to know us...?"
"I heard about you from Jiraiya."
Yeruashi calmly answered the question, and continued walking down the street.
Yahiko hesitated, pending Yeruashi's departure, in the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that Konoha is at war with Amegakure? Can't the problem be solved peacefully? If necessary, I can be your intermediary in negotiations."
Yeruashi stopped, slowly turned his head and looked at Yahiko.
"Naive."
"..."
Yahiko paused for a moment and said, "Your village doesn't want to be in a state of incessant war either, do you? Then why not take the path of peace negotiations and put an end to this war?"
Yeruashi looked at Yahiko with contempt and said, "That would have to be based on mutual trust, but, unfortunately, humans are incapable of trusting each other... abandon such naive thoughts, otherwise you will die."
Having said that, Yeruashi continued moving forward and disappeared at the end of the street.
When Yeruashi's figure finally disappeared, the ninjas surrounding Yahiko lowered their weapons and breathed a sigh of relief, their backs covered in cold sweat.
Pulling away from the fright, the ninjas looked at Yahiko in shock, not expecting Yahiko to try to communicate with the other side in the face of such a terrifying presence.
He was a very strong ninja, capable of killing them all in the blink of an eye.
"Yahiko..."
Nagato looked at his friend with concern.
Yahiko looked in the direction where Yeruashi disappeared, then took a deep breath and said firmly, "It is precisely because everyone adheres to that idea that no one can find a mutual understanding. I just need to show them that this is not the case, I will definitely achieve peace!"
Yahiko clenched his fists tightly, unaffected by Yeruashi's words.
Seeing this, Nagato let out a sigh of relief.
Konan turned to Yahiko and said, "I wonder who this ninja is. So much strength, I'm afraid even Jiraiya-sensei..."
Yahiko pondered, remembering what had happened, and looked at the corpses of the Sunagakure ninja, "These Kono ninja.... No, these Sunagakure ninja, I think they called it Silver Flash."
"They didn't give a specific name."
Konan said thoughtfully, "But this ninja must be famous all over the world, sooner or later we'll find out something about him."
"Yes."
Yahiko nodded and sighed again.
He really wanted to become a ninja as powerful as Hanzo, with such power, the other side would not treat him so lightly, and maybe this meeting would really lead to peace talks between the ninja villages.
...
An accidental encounter with the Yahiko trio and the initial Akatsuki organization was only a minor episode.
Yeruashi thought about whether he should make a move and try to take Rinnegan, but still decided to give up, the current Nagato is not weak, he is just trying to rely on his personal skills, but if he is pushed to the limit, it will not be a battle that can be completed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara's attention is definitely focused on Nagato, such a move will inevitably lead to a confrontation with him.
Do not provoke Madara so soon.
Over time, Yeruashi will only become stronger, sooner or later reaching the level of super-Kage and even the level of the Six Paths, at which time the whole world of ninja will be in the palm of his hand.
