"Then I'll just let you eat more, Konan-nee."
Aoba said it with a completely serious face.
When Konan heard that, the deliberately evil smile on her face could no longer be maintained. Her pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on his arm.
"Aoba, we're still on the main street!"
"..."
Aoba was speechless, 'Weren't you the one who started it?'
But he didn't argue, and went back to the main topic, "What about Sasori?"
The blush on Konan's face faded a little as she said, "As for Sasori, he used to be in charge of gathering intel, so I sent him to the Hidden Cloud Village."
When Aoba heard that, he had no objections to this arrangement.
Right now in the ninja world, only the Hidden Cloud Village was still standing on the opposite side of Konoha. Even Iwagakure had already started looking for chances to defect. If you don't investigate them, who would you investigate?
"Just right. When Pain arrives at the Hidden Cloud Village, we can have Sasori send the intel back."
Konan was slightly stunned, "Aoba, you're planning to?"
"It counts as a kind of insurance. If Black Zetsu still has some back-up plan, that should be the best timing. If something unexpected happens then, I can step in in time."
Adding some insurance was one thing, but what Aoba really wanted to see was Nagato fighting the Raikage in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Thank you, Aoba."
Konan also looked at Aoba with eyes as soft as water. The umbrella tilted to cover the upper bodies of the two of them, and the two kissed each other.
"An… Angel-sama?"
A female voice that really did not fit the timing sounded out.
An umbrella could not block every direction. A purple-haired girl was standing not far away, staring blankly at this scene.
Konan also temporarily let Aoba go, then looked toward that girl.
After thinking for a moment, she searched her memories and found the other party's name.
"Ajisai?"
Right now Ajisai was only staring blankly at the two of them. She just felt that the pure angel she had once admired the most seemed to have been tainted by someone.
But she also remembered the identity of the person next to her. Seemed he was Angel-sama's boyfriend.
'Since they are a couple, kissing should be normal, right?'
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going first."
Aoba smiled and gave a reminder.
"Huh?"
Ajisai finally came back to her senses, then ran to stand in front of Konan and asked excitedly, "Angel-sama, have you been busy with something else during this time? Why haven't you given a speech in the village for this whole year?"
She was just an ordinary genin of the Hidden Rain Village, so naturally she had no way of knowing anything about the higher-ups.
Konan also rarely showed her face in public, so the ordinary ninja of the Hidden Rain Village had no idea about Konan's current situation.
"This…", Konan looked at Ajisai's eyes full of expectation. After thinking about it, she still decided to tell her part of the truth.
"I am no longer the angel of the Hidden Rain Village now, and I won't be giving any more speeches in the future either."
"Wh… why?", The excited expression on Ajisai's face froze bit by bit.
For young ninja like her, Konan's speeches had always been the motivation that supported them to become stronger.
For a moment Konan also did not know how to answer her. She couldn't exactly say she was no longer a ninja of the Hidden Rain Village, but had joined Konoha now.
This kind of behavior that was basically the same as a rogue ninja's, she didn't have the face to say it out loud.
"Because Konan-nee is my girlfriend now and will become my wife in the future, so of course she can't be your angel anymore," Aoba stepped forward and helped Konan out of the awkward situation.
"Just because of a reason like that?", Ajisai stared at Aoba in disbelief.
"Of course. As my girlfriend, all she needs to do is stay home obediently and be a good wife and mother. As for that 'angel' stuff, it's a complete waste of time, kyekyekye!"
Aoba let out a strange laugh, looking exactly like a villain.
Even Konan, hearing this, had the urge to stuff something into his mouth, but she also knew Aoba was helping her.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly and just let him do as he pleased.
Ajisai, seeing Konan's expression, did not know what she had filled in by herself in her head, and instantly glared at Aoba in anger.
"So you're the one who forced Angel-sama?", Ajisai tossed her umbrella aside, then pulled a few cards out of her pouch.
This was her special talent. She could use cards to perform space-time ninjutsu and summon all sorts of items and weapons.
Aoba couldn't help raising an eyebrow, "You want to fight?"
"I'm going to win Angel-sama back!"
Even though she clearly knew she probably wasn't the other party's match, for the sake of Angel-sama, even if she knew she could not win, she still had to fight with everything she had.
"Is that so?"
The corners of Aoba's mouth lifted into a playful smile, "If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish. But there are a lot of people here, so we should change to another place."
Konan was a bit helpless. A perfectly good date had just been ruined like this.
———
"Guu~"
Ajisai lay on the ground, only able to let out a defeated whimper.
"Looks like you can't win your angel back."
Aoba said teasingly, but his eyes unintentionally glanced toward a corner.
He seemed to see a crow.
"Y… you bastard!"
Ajisai clenched her fists and lifted her head to glare angrily at Aoba, her golden eyes full of unwillingness.
She hadn't expected the gap between them to be this huge. She hadn't even managed to touch the hem of his clothes and was already flat on the ground.
She then looked at Konan, who had been watching from the sidelines from the beginning, and suddenly felt a bit wronged.
'Angel-sama, why are you just watching?'
Konan sensed Ajisai's gaze, sighed, walked over to help her up, and finally told her the truth.
"Ajisai, although saying this might make you sad, I actually wasn't forced by Aoba. Aoba isn't some kind of bad guy either. It's just that in Konoha, I saw a path that can truly achieve peace."
Ajisai's eyes went blank, "But Angel-sama, didn't you say before that those great nations were the root cause of the ninja world's wars?"
Konan shook her head, "That was because back then I was still not mature enough and couldn't see through the truth of the world…"
Then she told Ajisai everything Aoba had said earlier, and Ajisai listened until her head was spinning.
She completely couldn't understand.
Konan could only give a helpless smile and ruffle her hair.
"In short, I won't be the angel of the Hidden Rain Village anymore. But I will still work hard for the sake of peace, and the rain in the Hidden Rain Village will definitely have a day when it stops."
"If you want to know the kind of peace I'm talking about, you can come to Konoha to find me."
She then used medical ninjutsu to heal Ajisai's injuries, and after that, she took Aoba's hand and left the scene.
"Angel-sama…"
Ajisai could only stare blankly. There was nothing she could do.
"I really did waste your good intentions."
Konan said somewhat apologetically.
Aoba just smiled carelessly, "To me, Konan-nee, your feelings are what matter most."
Konan's smile turned charming and seductive.
"Since Aoba is so thoughtful toward big sister, then I have to give you a little reward too…"
