Chapter 53: Madam, you're awake!
"Konan, take him over there." Pain looked at Uchiha Itachi, "As for Itachi, I will arrange your accommodation separately."
"Follow me, newcomer." Konan glanced at Qianye expressionlessly, then turned and walked out of the tower.
Qianye followed closely.
Not long after, Qianye was arranged into a relatively luxurious suite.
It had three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and even a kitchen, almost everything one could need.
It was hard to imagine that such luxurious facilities could be found inside the dim clock tower.
This was much better than the Japanese wooden houses of the Uchiha, which didn't even have a bed.
"By the way, are all the rooms for Akatsuki Organization members this luxurious? It's almost comparable to a presidential suite back home." As soon as he entered the room, Qianye lay down directly, feeling comfortable.
"No, this is just an exception. Consider it special consideration from me and the leader," Konan said indifferently.
"Is it because of Danzo?" Qianye casually glanced at Konan, his hands clasped behind his head.
"It seems you know quite a lot." Konan narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in her pupils.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, I was an Anbu in Konoha for a year. I know a lot about Konoha's darkness, otherwise, I wouldn't have decided to defect so easily."
Qianye did a carp jump, suddenly stood up, and after a slight perception, confirming that Zetsu was not secretly monitoring, he said seriously, "Konan-senpai, I presume you also highly suspect the identity of that Masked Man."
"What do you mean by that?" Konan frowned.
"Nothing, I just want to make a deal with you," Qianye said with a smile.
"What deal?" Konan became interested.
"I can help you secretly investigate the Masked Man's identity. You and the leader just need to help me keep a secret." As he spoke, Qianye symbolically formed hand seals, releasing Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Mikoto from the System Warehouse.
Due to Qianye having struck their sleeping points, they were still unconscious.
Qianye placed the two on the bed, first pointing to Uchiha Izumi, then to Uchiha Mikoto, and introduced, "This is my childhood friend. I presume I don't need to introduce her much, you've already investigated thoroughly.
As for the other person, she is also a member of the Uchiha, and for some reason, I rescued her. Even that Masked Man, that Zetsu, and that Filial Son who killed his parents don't know about this.
I can secretly help you investigate the Masked Man's identity. The condition is that you help me conceal the existence of this beauty. How about protecting her and Izumi's absolute safety?"
Konan looked at Uchiha Izumi, then at Uchiha Mikoto, neither refusing nor agreeing: "I need to ask the leader for instructions."
"Then I will await your good news," Qianye chuckled softly.
In reality, with his Mirror Flower Water Moon, it would be a simple matter to hide from Obito and Zetsu.
But Nagato was not so easy to fool.
The activation condition for Mirror Flower Water Moon requires seeing the release with both eyes.
Due to his leg disability, Nagato never showed himself in his true form.
He could at most hypnotize the Six Paths of Pain.
With Nagato's strong Uzumaki Clan sensory abilities, perceiving Uchiha Mikoto in this clock tower would be child's play.
Rather than that, it would be better to be open and honest.
Anyway, they weren't entirely aligned with Obito.
Konan left quickly and returned just as fast, bringing with her an Akatsuki Organization uniform, a red cloud black robe, a wind chime straw hat, and nail polish.
"The leader has agreed. However, if you expose yourselves, it's none of our business," Konan said, still expressionless.
"Of course." Qianye took the Akatsuki robe, put it on directly, then struck what he considered a handsome pose, chuckling, "How do I look?"
This immediately made Konan break her composure; her cold, delicate face finally showed a hint of softening. Suppressing a smile, she said, "You look good, but your pose is a bit ugly."
"Alright, remember to go to the clock tower for the meeting tomorrow morning. Pain will introduce you to the other Akatsuki Organization members and assign tasks. If you need anything, you can come directly to me; I live across from you."
As she spoke, Konan turned and left the room.
"Right across? They really know how to test their cadres. Which cadre could withstand such a test?" Qianye muttered to himself, sighed deeply, walked into the room, and released Uchiha Mikoto's pressure points.
A moment later.
Uchiha Mikoto slowly woke up, gently opening her eyes. What met her gaze was an unfamiliar ceiling and Qianye, who was now wearing a red cloud black robe and had a new knife mark on his forehead protector.
"Madam, you're awake! First, I cannot tell you where this is, and it wouldn't do you any good to know. You just need to know that this is not Konoha, and we are out of danger."
"And regarding your eldest and youngest sons, they are doing very well now."
"You probably won't be able to see your eldest son, otherwise, that Filial Son might once again try to kill you for the sake of the so-called Village, the so-called Uchiha glory."
"As for your youngest son, there's still a chance. However, in the eyes of the world, you and Izumi are already dead. For a short period, you won't be able to meet your youngest son."
"For a long time to come, you will live here. If you need anything, you can go find the girl living across the hall. She will provide everything you need from now on."
"That's about it."
Qianye briefly summarized the current situation.
"Thank you." Mikoto was not foolish; she glanced at the 'sleeping' Uchiha Izumi nearby and quickly understood. She immediately rose and bowed gracefully to Qianye, expressing her sincere gratitude.
"Madam, there's no need to be so formal. This is all Qianye's duty, after all, I promised Uncle Fugaku that I would take good care of you."
Qianye quickly stepped forward, supporting Mikoto's forearm to help her up.
Mikoto's beautiful eyes trembled, a hint of panic flashing within them. A highly dangerous image appeared in her mind, then she remembered that Qianye was only thirteen and already had Izumi. She immediately felt that she was overthinking things, and as she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
She thought, Qianye is a man who was willing to become a rogue ninja for the sake of Izumi; how could I be so petty and suspect him?
And at this moment, the long-awaited system prompt sounded in Qianye's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a system option."
"1. Do not wake Uchiha Izumi, (ω) before the offense, reward: perfect Wind-style Chakra and Nature Transformation."
"2. Wake Uchiha Izumi, the overlord holds a hard crossbow, punish in front of Izumi, reward: Rasengan series Ninjutsu."
"3. Do not wake Uchiha Izumi, punish together, reward: Kenbunshoku Haki from the One Piece world."
"4. Wake Uchiha Izumi, punish together, reward: Armament Haki from the One Piece world."
"5. Do nothing, worse than a beast. Reward: i love a piece of wood * 999999"
