Chapter 64 Yahiko, Sees Konan Again
Emerging from the cave, Gojo Yoru vanished into the town in an instant.
Gojo Yoru didn't take Tsunade's warning to heart.
In the entire ninja world, no one values explosive tags more than Gojo Yoru.
Nawaki was killed by the explosive tags. Obito Uchiha, who also possessed the Hollowfication ability, would have been killed by Konan's explosive tags if it weren't for the secret technique Izanagi.
Gojo Yoru has always been wary of this explosive device, which is small and lightweight yet incredibly powerful, and whose chakra cannot be sensed.
Gojo Yoru mastered the art of moving in an instant, making it invisible, precisely to prevent accidentally stepping into an explosive trap.
By fusing ordinary chakra with a small amount of space-time chakra, one can instantly enter a localized state of intangibility with minimal consumption.
That's enough time for Gojo to teleport away and escape.
Upon arriving in the town, Gojo bought two raincoats and a straw hat from a small stall.
In this country with a year-round rainy season, the best-selling item is undoubtedly the three-piece rainproof bedding set.
As a result, raincoats, umbrellas, and straw hats are much more expensive here than in other countries.
After buying the items, Gojoya had to return the way she came.
"Make way, make way, make way now..."
Just then, a series of warning shouts and the sound of feet splashing in puddles suddenly reached Gojo Yoru's ears.
Looking in the direction the sound came from, one could see a short figure carrying a long loaf of bread, running around aimlessly.
Gojo Yoru turned slightly to the side, watching the short figure pass by.
The short figure also happened to look up and glance at Gojo Yoru.
The other person's appearance came into view.
Short orange hair, a dirty face, a tired and unhealthy complexion, and brown eyes with a hint of ferocity—a typical image of a homeless child.
This is the complete opposite of Gojo Yoru's pampered, fair-skinned, and handsome image.
Seeing Gojo Yoru's appearance, a hint of envy flashed in the other person's eyes, and then they ran away without looking back.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, Gojo Yoru recognized the other person at a glance.
Yahiko, the future Pain.
Wasn't he from Amegakure? Amegakure was attacked not long ago, and now he's here?
Could it be that Xiao Nan has already appeared here?
Gojo Yoru put on a straw hat and went to a deserted alley. He used Earth Instantaneous Body to sneak underground and secretly followed Yahiko.
Instead of staying in the town, Yahiko shook off his boss and employees who were chasing him, and went to the rocky mountain area on the outskirts of town. He hid in a cave that could be seen everywhere and began to eat heartily.
There was no one else in the cave.
After confirming that the other party had not yet encountered Konan, Gojo Yoru did not offer any assistance but instead teleported back into the cave.
"Let's go, we must infiltrate Amegakure as quickly as possible."
"Yes."
After putting on the rainproof two-piece suit, Tsunade and Gojo Yoru quickly headed to Amegakure using the Body Flicker Technique.
Along the way, they encountered many people fleeing from disaster.
These people were either refugees who had escaped from Amegakure during the chaos, or natives who were afraid that Amegakure would continue to be attacked and dared not stay there any longer.
Among them were many adults and children who were wailing and crying, either because they had been separated from their families or because their relatives had been killed.
Tsunade slowed down considerably, seemingly out of pity, or perhaps hesitant to intervene and help the innocent wounded.
But for the sake of her country, she abandoned that idea and chose to avoid these people to prevent them from discovering her and causing any accidents.
At first, Gojo Yoru remained silent.
Suddenly, Gojo Yoru seemed to notice something and slowed down as well, walking alongside Tsunade, saying, "Lady Tsunade, you go ahead first. I'll meet up with you later using the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Tsunade immediately looked around, her gaze quickly settling on a certain spot, and asked, "Do you have 'acquaintances' in Amegakure?"
"Yes, we met once." Gojo Yoru nodded.
"Be careful, don't waste too much time."
Tsunade didn't stop her, but left a message and sped up her Body Flicker.
Separated from Tsunade, Gojo Yoru instantly appeared next to a rock in a few blinks.
Leaning against the stone wall, Gojou Yoru turned his head and looked ahead in the misty rain, waiting for the short figure to arrive.
The other party had not noticed Gojo Yoru's presence. At this moment, they were walking with their heads down, arms crossed, and trembling.
Wearing only a white short-sleeved shirt, she was clearly quite cold.
"We meet again."
"what!"
As she passed a rock, a sudden sound startled Xiao Nan, causing her to scream. Her swollen eyes instantly welled up with tears.
When she instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, she was immediately taken aback.
The familiar raincoat and straw hat, the handsome face, and the icy blue eyes stirred up Xiao Nan's memories.
But because the other person had grown taller than last year and his face had lost more of its childishness, Xiao Nan asked hesitantly, "Big...big brother?"
"We meet again, little girl selling paper flowers in the rain." Gojo Yoru took out a transparent resealable bag from his ninja tool bag and waved it in front of Konan. Inside was a colored purple paper flower.
Looking at the familiar paper flower and hearing that address, Xiao Nan exclaimed with delight, "It really is you, big brother!"
"In this time of war, why aren't you staying in Amegakure? What are you doing here?" Gojo Yoru asked knowingly.
These words caused Xiao Nan's eyes to redden quickly, and the tears that had already dried up welled up again.
"Dad... Dad and Mom were killed by bad guys, sob sob..."
Xiao Nan, who had finally met a "familiar face," could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Gojo didn't say anything to comfort her, but simply raised his hand and gently stroked her head.
After Konan finished venting her emotions, Gojo Yoru said softly, "I don't know how to comfort you, because I'm an orphan like you, having lost my parents. No one comforted me back then either. If you're not worried that I might harm you, would you like to stay by my side?"
Nan, who is only six years old and about 1.23 meters tall, looked up at Gojo Yoru in front of her.
Those icy blue eyes looked cold, devoid of any pity, only possessing a clear sincerity.
Despite her cold eyes and expression, Xiao Nan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She felt a strange sense of security from this person she was meeting for the second time.
Following this feeling, Xiao Nan nodded subconsciously, asking with a hint of anticipation and trepidation, "Is...is it okay?"
"sure."
A smile finally appeared on Gojo Yoru's face as she belatedly introduced herself: "My name is Gojo Yoru."
"I...I'm called Xiao Nan."
Last year's paper flowers have become a bond connecting the two of them.
