Yahiko told Kouki with righteous indignation.
Kouki was shocked. Nagato's eyes had been stolen?
The original mid-series boss of Naruto, who had killed Jiraiya, murdered the Kazekage, stolen eight tailed beasts, and destroyed Konoha, was now having his eyes gouged out in his early years?
This was completely unexpected.
However, this might be a good thing for Nagato. At least his life would be spared.
Since Obito had stolen Nagato's Rinnegan, he would naturally not harm Nagato further.
Kouki could guess Obito's reasons for stealing Nagato's Rinnegan.
After a few more words, Yahiko and Konan began to discuss their purpose for going to Kirigakure. It was related to Obito.
After Nagato's eyes were stolen, Yahiko and Konan couldn't let it go. They wanted to avenge Nagato.
However, they had no idea where Obito was, and they were wary of Obito's power. They weren't confident in their ability to defeat him.
So, they thought of Yagura, who had also been manipulated by Obito.
After their departure from Amegakure, Kouki had returned to Konoha with Minato Namikaze, while Yahiko and Konan had escorted Yagura back to Kirigakure.
They had revealed to Kirigakure the truth about Yagura being controlled.
Ao of Kirigakure had used his Byakugan to confirm that Yahiko and Konan were telling the truth. Kirigakure had then released Yagura from the genjutsu.
Yagura immediately regained his memories!
He immediately ordered an investigation and the capture of "Uchiha Madara."
Yahiko and Kirigakure shared the same goal of dealing with Obito, so Yahiko wanted to go to Kirigakure to see if there were any leads on Obito.
Of course, it would be even better if they could cooperate with Kirigakure to fight Obito together.
That was the reason for their trip to Kirigakure.
After listening to Yahiko's story, Kouki suddenly felt a little guilty towards Obito. First, he had caused Obito to completely lose the opportunity to control Nagato, forcing him to resort to stealing Nagato's eyes.
Then, the Fourth Mizukage, who had been Obito's puppet, had also completely broke free from his control!
Kouki had inadvertently caused Obito a lot of trouble.
However, it was just Obito's bad luck. Who told him to try to manipulate Kouki?
Along the way, Kouki had thought a lot. He realized that the direction of the ninja world was slowly deviating from its original course due to his actions.
Kouki wasn't sure how the future would unfold.
However, it seemed more interesting this way.
"How is Nagato now? I'll go visit him one day."
Kouki proposed casually.
Of course, his intention wasn't just to visit Nagato. That was only one aspect. He also wanted to familiarize himself with the Akatsuki base, making it easier to sneak in and check in later.
Not to mention, Kouki was quite interested in Konan's Paper Ninjutsu.
"Really? It would be great if you came." Yahiko and Konan said, their faces lighting up with excitement.
"Nagato has been very depressed since losing his eyes. He doesn't even want to talk to us about it."
"Your visit might cheer him up."
The two's mood also turned somber as they talked about Nagato's condition.
Nagato had become cripple, and they felt no better than Nagato himself, perhaps even more.
As they chatted, they arrived at the border of the Land of Water. In the distance, the vast sea was filled with thick white fog.
Once they passed through the fog, they would officially arrive in the Land of Water.
Since they had been to Kirigakure before, Yahiko and Konan were familiar with the route. They didn't get lost in the fog and steered the boat to the dock.
Since Yahiko and Konan had helped Kirigakure before, they weren't harassed. After the ninja at the checkpoint reported their arrival, they were quickly cleared.
Someone even escorted Yahiko and Konan through the fog and to Kirigakure.
"Alright, Yahiko, Konan, I have other things to do. Let's part ways here." Kouki said goodbye to Yahiko and Konan at the entrance of Kirigakure.
"By the way, leave Kirigakure on your own after you're done. Don't wait for me."
The two didn't try to stop him. After Kouki turned and left, they headed towards Kirigakure.
The first thing Kouki did after leaving Yahiko and Konan was to use Transformation Technique to transform into another ninja.
He had come on their boat, so he couldn't cause trouble using his real face. That would be unfair to them.
Kouki wouldn't do something like that.
After transforming into a Kirigakure ninja, Kouki began to stroll around Kirigakure, like a tourist.
He admired the scenery while silently observing the general layout of Kirigakure. After all, he would be coming to this "backyard" to check in in the future.
He needed to know the locations of special places.
Since he was a Kirigakure ninja, he wouldn't attract attention. He could freely tour the village.
Kouki wandered through most of Kirigakure without attracting any attention.
"Kirigakure is nice. It has a strong exotic atmosphere, but the humidity is a bit heavy. I need to get used to it."
Kouki casually commented on Kirigakure's environment.
As he turned a corner, someone charged towards him.
"All of you Kirigakure people, die! I'll kill you all!"
The person saw Kouki and quickened his pace, using Body Flicker Technique to quickly approach Kouki.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Kouki.
At the same time, he threw a powerful punch at Kouki.
