  ~ A lot of people have been asking about Nawaki. You'll see him in a couple of chapters!

  ????

  "You had Konan attack Konoha Shinobi... just to train her?"

  Jiraiya lowered his head and ched his fists.

  More than ten Konoha Shinobi had died because of this.

  Although it wasn't just Konoha Shinobi who died, Jiraiya still couldn't accept it. her could Minato.

  Shin g them and said calmly, "I know you're upset, but the weak have no choice."

  "Shin, you used to be a Konoha Shinobi. Don't you have any feelings for Konoha?"

  "Enough, Jiraiya. I'm not ied in your moral lectures," Shin interrupted. "You said it yourself—'used to be.' I'm no longer with Konoha."

  Shin interrupted Jiraiya. He could guess what Jiraiya was going to say.

  "Frankly, me not wiping you out is already my greatest kindness."

  "Konan, we're leaving."

  Shin took Konan's hand ahe battlefield, ign Jiraiya and Minato.

  "Sensei, should we stop them?" Minato asked, looking at Jiraiya.

  Jiraiya looked at his student and shook his head with a plicated expression.

  Minato was unhappy.

  Many Konoha Shinobi had been killed by Konahey just going to let it go?

  "Minato, letting them leave is the best option. Otherwise, more Konoha Shinobi will die." Jiraiya said with a wry smile.

  Even if it made them sick, the bigger picture took priority.

  And as Shin had said just moments ago—the weak have no choice.

  ....

  As Shin and Konan walked across the battlefield, every single shinobi, Konoha and Suna alike, stepped aside to clear their path.

  "T-The Reaper… It's the Reaper of the Shinobi World! The harvester of souls!"

  Some of the older Suna shinobi screamed in terror. Some even threw away their ons and fled without hesitation.

  They were terrified of Shin. After all, Suna had suffered the most casualties at Shin's hands during the Sed Shinobi World War.

  The younger geion wasn't as scared, but those who had experiehe previous war couldn't withstand the fear and fled.

  "Shin-nii is so amazing. They're all running away just from seeing him."

  Konan looked at Shin with admiration.

  Faced with her ad expression, Shin couldn't help but feel a little pleased. After all, who didn't enjoy being admired?

  "It's nothing to be proud of—sg a bunch of weaklings."

  Shin said with a smile.

  "You're saying that, but you're definitely proud of yourself, Shin-nii." Konan looked at him knowingly.

  "Konan, have you heard the saying 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'?"

  Shin pinched her cheek pyfully.

  "Ouch! Shin-nii, I was just kidding!" Konan pleaded, giving him a pitiful look. "Let go, okay?"

  "Hmph. My cute little Konan is getting sassier," Shin said, finally releasing her.

  "That's because I've grown up! I'm too old to be called 'cute' now, Shin-nii. You should say I'm beautiful instead."

  "Haha, I wasn't talking about your looks. I meant your attitude isn't as cute anymore."

  Shin flicked her forehead, thehe battlefield with her.

  ....

  "I hought I'd see him otlefield again..." Chiyo said, calming her rag heart.

  The moment she caught sight of Uzumaki Shin, her heart had nearly stopped. She had been terrified that he would unleash Susanoo and wipe out everyone in a single ssh.

  "Thank goodness he left..."

  "Sister, I suggest we call a temporary truce," Ebizō said beside her.

  He was terrified that any further fighting might bring Shin back. That was the st thing they wanted.

  They reyed their decision to Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, who had no choice but to obey.

  Rasa might be the Fourth Kazekage, the leader of Suna, but his influence was still less than Chiyo's and Ebizo's.

  Rasa wasn't afraid of Shin. He hadn't witnessed Shin's power, so he scoffed at those who feared him.

  Ignorance is bliss. Some people just don't know aer.

  ....

  Shin didn't know what they were thinking. He had already left the battlefield.

  "Shin-nii, where are we going now?" Konan asked.

  "Where to?"

  Shin scratched his head. He didn't have a destination. His main goal had been to copy the Rinnegan, and he had already achieved that.

  "Hmm... Maybe we should head back?" he wondered aloud.

  "I don't want to go back yet. we stay a bit longer?" Konan pleaded, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.

  Konan didn't want to go back yet. She wao spend more time aloh Shin. After all, ohey returned, Kushina and the others would monopolize his attention.

  "If you don't want to go back, then tell me where you want to go," Shin said, indulging her a bit.

  Konan tapped her with a finger, deep in thought. But after a while, she still couldn't decide.

  "Well, Shin-nii, I haven't thought of a destinatio. How about we stay in the Land of Rain for a while and explore?" she finally suggested.

  "And you focus on teag me some new Jutsu. There are still some I haven't learned yet. You guide me."

  Shin couldn't refuse her eager request.

  "Alright, let's stay in the Land of Rain and see what it has to offer, though I don't know what's so iing about this pce."

  The Land of Rain wasly a paradise. In fact, it was the opposite. It was always raining, and its geography alone doomed it to misery.

  Sandwiched by three major tries, it was destio be a battlefield whenever a war broke out.

  It wasn't raining now because Shin had dispersed the clouds, but it would eventually return to its usual gloomy weather.

  "So, Konan, what exactly do you wao teach you?

  Shin asked as they walked, holding her hand.

  "I want to learn Sage Mode," Konan replied, her eyes shining with determination.

  Kushina, Mikoto, and Tsunade had all mastered it—so of course, Konan wao learn it too.
