Chapter 81: Pursuing Bonds
"In this way, the two-person team has been decided. Let's go on their own missions. Mirror Man and Shiro will stay."
With Pain's words, the members of the Akatsuki organization dispersed one after another. Finally, Only Pain, Xiaonan, Kagami, and Shiro are left here.
Mirror Man knew that the highlight he had expected before was coming!
"Mirror Man, I have a task for you."
Sure enough, after Xiao organized the others to leave, Payne's first words were to assign the task to Mirror Man alone.
Mirror Man had already guessed this scene, remained unmoved, and spoke calmly.
"What mission?"
Payne's mouth moved and he revealed the mission he wanted to give to the Mirror Man.
After hearing this, the mirror man's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Are you sure?"
Half a month later.
On a road.
"I didn't expect you and I to become companions."
"I still want to say this."
Kakuzu looked sideways at Hidan.
"Don't make me upset, or I'll kill you."
Hidan said contemptuously.
"So, you come here to kill me."
"I don't want your heart."
In a field of snow.
Kisame and Itachi walked, neither of them speaking, looking quiet and peaceful.
Halfway through, Itachi stopped suddenly, turned his head and glanced into the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe it was the snow that reminded him of something.
Turning his head back, Itachi took a step forward, followed Kisame, and continued walking.
Quan followed Itachi obediently behind him, his little face turned red from the cold.
Next to a cherry blossom tree.
Deidara looked at a house in the distance.
"Art is explosion!"
As the word "explosion" was spoken, the house in the distance exploded violently.
Deidara hugged himself with both hands and spoke drunkenly.
"Ah, it's art."
Xie closed her eyes and said helplessly.
"I don't quite understand your art."
"This is a fleeting beauty, sir, you almost understand it."
Not far away from Konoha Village.
The mirror man stretched out his hand, raised his bamboo hat slightly, and looked at the village in the distance.
[I’m back to this place again, but do I want to do anything to you? Naruto. 】
Memories from half a month ago surfaced.
At that time, Payne said this to the Mirror Man.
"Sneak into Konoha and capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!"
Mirror Man: "Are you sure?"
Pain: "Sure."
Mirror Man: "But, didn't I say before that I would only search, not capture? Why did you suddenly want to capture?"
Pain: "You and Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki seem to be in the same class. In this case, you should know each other. Since you know each other, it will be easier to capture. That's what I think. Besides, capturing Konoha The Jinchuuriki of Konoha can greatly weaken the strength of Konoha. When Akatsuki helps you invade Konoha in the future, it will be easier, isn't it?"
Mirror Man: ""
Pain: "Go ahead, even if you can't capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. It's okay, as long as Konoha's strength is weakened to some extent."
This was the content of the conversation between Kaguya and Pain at that time.
Kyuubi is the strongest among the nine tailed beasts, there is no doubt about it, and Pain wants to use himself to capture the strongest Kyuubi with the smallest force.
However, Pain asked him to capture the Kyuubi so early. This was something that Mirror Man never expected. This was so unreasonable. Even if Kyuubi was to be captured, it should be the last tailed beast to be captured.
If the first tailed beast captures the nine tails, then it will be useless to capture them, because the sealing of the tailed beasts must be done in order from the first tail to the nine tails.
Why did Pain let himself capture the Kyuubi now?
This matter was only told to Mirror Man and Shiro. Except for Pain and Mirror Man, no one in the entire Akatsuki organization knew about Mirror Man's mission.
Why hide this task? From a simple look, one is temptation and the other is defense.
Test his hatred for Konoha and be prepared for Itachi's attack.
If he captures the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, he will never be able to reconcile with Konoha in his lifetime. Of course, Kagami doesn't need to reconcile with Konoha, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is Naruto,
and Itachi, I don't want to tell others about this mission, I'm afraid there is a reason to prevent Itachi from intervening.
Of course, to Kagami, these don't matter. He has no intention of reconciling with Konoha from the beginning to the end, at least, not before Danzo's death.
For Mirror Man, the biggest question is, should he attack Naruto?
Also, what is the fundamental reason why Pain allowed himself to capture the Kyuubi so early? It's definitely not as simple as letting yourself become a mortal enemy of Konoha.
Moreover, to be honest, with Kagami's current strength, it is 80% impossible to capture the Kyuubi. Konoha is the number one ninja village after all. It is wishful thinking for Kagami to fight against Konoha by himself. Payne should also know this, so why would he let himself capture the Nine-Tails?
"Mirror Man, are you in pain?"
Bai looked at Mirror Man worriedly.
The mirror man relaxed his frown slightly and shook his head.
"It's not painful, it's just that I don't know what to do all of a sudden."
When Naruto was in the ninja school, because Kagami was the only one who didn't look down on Naruto, Kagami and Naruto's The relationship has always been good, although Naruto has been clamoring to defeat Kagami, but that is Naruto's way of expressing closeness.
However, later, after opening the Sharingan, Kagami began to reject Naruto. He was really afraid. During that period, he really didn't dare to make friends.
Then, before he could get over the shadow of his companion's death, something like that happened to his parents again. Since then, Kagami's heart was completely closed, and he took the initiative to alienate his relationship with Naruto and Sasuke. Later, Shisui's death led to Kagami's direct defection to Konoha. From that moment on, he and Naruto Sasuke never interacted again.
After that, even if he sneaked into Konoha, he only dared to look at his former friends from a distance. From the beginning to the end, Kagami never came into contact with the two of them. He became a [coward] and never dared to talk to anyone again. Even if it was Quan later, Mirror Man only took the initiative to contact Quan when he rescued Quan. At other times, Mirror Man would not take the initiative to contact Quan.
After Shisui's death, Kagami's world became gray and white. It wasn't until he met Haku in Kirigakure that Kagami's world became slightly more colorful. Then, with the acquisition of [Ultimate Earth Reincarnation], Kagami's world became colorful. It just changed a lot.
Now, in fact, in his heart, Mirror Man's greater tendency is to prepare to capture Naruto. Even if he pulls out the tailed beast and kills Naruto, Mirror Man also wants to weaken Konoha. However, deep down in my heart, there is always a voice that keeps telling myself that I can't do that.
【why? Why can't we do that? For Konoha? No, it's absolutely impossible. I don't have the slightest fondness for Konoha now, so is it for Naruto? Don't I want to attack Naruto? 】
Mirror Man raised his head and looked at the sky. Suddenly, he remembered something.
[By the way, speaking of which, the incident involving the complete Akatsuki Organization should be completed. ]
[The death of Uchiha Shisui - completed. The Night of the Uchiha Genocide—Complete. Akatsuki Organization is complete - completed. ]
The voice of the system came as promised, and at the same time, the mirror man once again saw the starry sky. There were three patterns on the starry sky.
I have already seen the first two pictures, and in the third picture, it is no longer a dark shadow, but it can be clearly seen that those people are all the current members of the Akatsuki organization, but they do not include Quan and Shiro.
[Complete three major events and activate the fetters pursuit function. Chasing bonds currently allows you to go back in time and witness and change some of the bonds you have missed. ]
As the system spoke, the appearance of the starry sky also began to change. The picture of [Event] slowly disappeared and was replaced by another picture.
[The first bond to pursue is the genius who is favored by others and the person who is favored by the genius. 】
That is a picture. The mirror person in childhood and Naruto in childhood were opposed to each other, forming a seal of opposition.
