Seeing that Yahiko had believed her lie, Konan felt guilty.

But she couldn't see Yahiko's disappointed face.

They couldn't just sit idly by and ignore Nagato's situation.

Forgive me, Yahiko, Nagato.

Xiao Nan sighed inwardly.

She did this to protect the precious bond between the three of them.

"Brother, someone on the left has started a rebellion. It seems to be a pawn supported by the forces of the Land of Earth."

Idaten Kyusuke entered the room and reported to Yahiko.

Yahiko nodded and said to Konan:

"Konan, you stay and guard Nagato for now. I have other things to do."

After saying that, Yahiko hurriedly left.

He is the leader of Akatsuki, and he is extremely busy every day trying to manage the Land of Rain, a country located in a sensitive geographical position among the three great powers.

Idaten Kyusuke left with Yahiko.

When Konan turned around, only she, standing there, and Nagato, asleep, remained in the room.

Xiao Nan sat down on the stool in front of the bed and stayed there until the moonlight streamed in through the window.

"The rain has stopped."

Xiao Nan looked out the window; tonight was a rare rainless night.

In the past, the three of them would happily find a high place, look at the night sky illuminated by moonlight, and count the stars.

A night breeze blew by, and there was no one in front of the stool. Only two oval-shaped wisps of steam remained on the surface of the stool, slowly releasing heat and indicating the plumpness of the person who had sat there.

"Xonan?"

When Nagato opened her eyes, she found the room empty.

In his hazy sleep, he clearly felt that someone was watching over him all the time.

"have they gone?"

Nagato glanced at the night view outside the window, but didn't think much of it.

It's normal for Xiao Nan to go out when she's tired of guarding the place.

……

"The power of heretics, that's interesting."

Kiyoshi played with the kunai in his hand, trying to infuse it with "heretical power".

The ability of "Outer Path Power" to disrupt and seal chakra reminded Kiyoshi of sealing techniques.

What would happen if this power were combined with sealing techniques?

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Even in Boruto, chakra rods are still a common method used by villains.

It works very well for blocking the movement of tailed beasts and the movement of enemies.

Furthermore, ordinary ninjas who rashly attempt to remove ninja tools imbued with "heretical power" from the victim are likely to suffer harm instead.

Before Madara was resurrected and attempted to collect the nine tailed beasts to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he used black chakra rods to lock Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju in place.

Seeing Tobirama Senju's disheveled state and thinking of his younger brother Izuna, whom Tobirama had killed, Madara couldn't help but vent his anger and stuck a few more black chakra rods into Tobirama Senju's body.

On the other side, Sasuke wanted to remove the chakra rods from Hashirama, but Hashirama stopped him.

Because directly touching the black chakra rods might interfere with your chakra due to the "power of the Outer Path," freezing you in place.

"Could I create a new school of sealing techniques?"

Kiyoshi gazed at the kunai floating and spinning in his palm, lost in thought.

He currently possesses three systems of sealing techniques: one is the sealing technique of the priestess lineage of the Land of Demons, another is the sealing technique represented by the Uzumaki clan, and the third is a special sealing technique obtained from Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

These sealing techniques, like "immortal arts," can also compensate for weaknesses and combine strengths to create even stronger techniques.

"Let's try the most basic sealing technique first."

Kiyoshi attempted to inscribe a sealing technique on the surface of the kunai, combining the sealing technique with the "power of the heretics".

After several attempts, Kiyoshi made no progress.

He was not discouraged by this; the beginning of any skill or theory is never a simple matter.

After trying several more times and breaking several kunai, Kiyoshi heard approaching footsteps.

He put down the kuvaka and immediately thought of the person who had come.

Bang bang.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Kiyoshi called out, "Come in."

Xiao Nan, who was outside, stepped inside.

"The night is really beautiful."

Kiyoshi scrutinized Konan from head to toe with a critical look.

Xiao Nan took off her black robe and replaced it with an inner lining.

After all, the Akatsuki's robes are not casual wear, so they are not worn all the time.

The tight-fitting black chainmail clung tightly to Xiao Nan's body.

This chainmail has no sleeves and a zipper in the middle. Only the triangle at the front covers the abdomen and chest, preventing any exposure.

Then it passes through the neck, forming something like a neck ring.

"……yes."

Xiao Nan casually replied.

Her mind was in turmoil, and she had no mood to appreciate the moonlight.

All he could think about was how to face Yahiko and Nagato in the future.

If I don't do it, I'll be letting them down.

If I did it, I would be letting them down.

This seems like a dead end; no matter what she chooses, it will be wrong.

"Then... let's pour the tea first."

Kiyoshi sat at the table and tapped it with his fingers.

On the table, there was only a teapot, teacups, and a few sheets of draft paper with basic sealing techniques written by Qing Si.

Xiao Nan fell silent.

If you really did something with Kiyoshi, there would be no going back.

She clenched her fingers tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

All of this illustrates the inner struggle she faced.

"What's wrong? Are you having a hard time?"

Kiyoshi's tone turned cold.

His patience is not limitless.

Xiao Nan naturally noticed this change in tone.

Konan bent down, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Kiyoshi the ninja.

While pouring tea, the chainmail inevitably tightened.

With just a slight tilt of his head, Kiyoshi could see the alluring figure beneath that beautiful face.

A casual glance reveals deep, ravines, through which the smooth, white skin is clearly visible.

Enduring Kiyoshi's rude and presumptuous gaze, Konan filled her teacup and tried to sit down opposite him.

Qing Si said:

"No rush, teach me a little 'paper magic' so I can write it down slowly."

Kiyoshi flipped the draft paper on the table over, revealing a blank space.

Konan was taken aback. Although the "Paper" Release ninjutsu was different from the five major ninjutsu, it was actually a very basic ninjutsu that many ninjas knew. However, she was more proficient in it.

Having no other choice, she picked up the pen on the table and began writing on the draft paper.

Therefore, Xiao Nan lowered her front half even further, forming an S-shape.

Kiyoshi suddenly took action after Konan finished writing the first "paper" ninjutsu.

He placed his hand on Xiao Nan's head and said:

"Miss Xiao Nan, your eyesight isn't very good. There's a mistake in the writing. Go down and take a closer look."

"Well……"

Xiao Nan was pushed down, her eyes widening in surprise.

Because she also saw the "unicorn" that Kiyoshi had summoned to aid his studies.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the teacup on the table, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

The moonlight outside the window spilled onto the teacup, reflecting the full moon in the sky.

On the full moon, it wasn't just the two people in this room who were gazing at it.

Not far away, Changmen, lying in the ward, turned his head to look at the moon outside the window, lost in thought.

As Yahiko hurriedly left, he looked up and could feel the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

He glanced worriedly in Nagato's direction, hoping that everything could go back to the way it was at the beginning.

Yahiko firmly believed that Akatsuki was like the rising sun, and its light would sooner or later illuminate the darkness that shrouded the Land of Rain, and even the darkness of the entire ninja world.

With each step, Yahiko's gait became increasingly steady.

……

The dawn before sunrise contains the darkest moment of the day.

Xiao Nan endured the darkness, and when she came out of the room, she could still see the pale light of dawn outside the corridor window.

"Xiao Nan, do you want to eat breakfast?"

When Idaka-ten Kyusuke encountered the goddess, he immediately inquired about her.

"No need, I'll go check on Nagato."

Konan forced a polite smile and walked towards Nagato's hospital room.

Pushing open the door, I saw Yahiko, who had just finished his work and returned, and Nagato, whose complexion had improved slightly.

Would you like some porridge?

Yahiko raised the bowl in his hand.

When Xiao Nan saw the white porridge inside, she suddenly felt nauseous and her stomach was churning.

She waved her hands repeatedly, saying no.

"Yeah."

Yahiko looked puzzled.

Xiao Nan was someone who had gone through hunger with him, and she had never shown such a reaction to food before.

Could it be that you are not feeling well?

"How long will it take for Mr. Kiyoshi to treat Nagato?"

"He said he needed to make some preparations, and the time was set for noon."
