Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 177

Nagato slowly shook his head. Since things had come to this, what else could he do? Of course, he could only risk his life to accompany a gentleman.

“I understand. I have no problem,” Nagato said softly, then let out a deep sigh.

It seemed as if he had struggled a great deal internally before making this decision.

Upon hearing Nagato’s agreement, Yahiko and Konan exchanged a smile.

They had originally worried that Nagato would oppose this outcome, and their hearts had been somewhat uneasy. Now, it was finally settled.

Seeing their joy, Nagato spoke up at the opportune moment.

“We shouldn’t celebrate too early. Hayato might not necessarily agree to our terms.”

Indeed, these were all their unilateral decisions for now; Hayato had not yet given them an official reply.

Yahiko nodded seriously, “You’re right. In that case, I’ll go talk to Hayato tomorrow. I believe with this bargaining chip, there’s a good chance.”

They had offered their greatest sincerity, hoping only to exchange it for a good outcome.

However, Yahiko suddenly remembered how he had confidently declared that day that he wanted to try it alone.

Now, turning around to seek help felt a bit like a slap in the face.

“And we can’t be blindly optimistic. Even if Hayato agrees to help us, how we proceed afterward is also key,” Nagato spoke again, implying that they shouldn’t celebrate too early!

When this topic came up, Yahiko and Konan both visibly became serious.

“This is indeed a crucial issue,” Konan said, lowering her head in thought.

Their organization currently consisted mostly of ordinary people; there weren’t many who could truly be considered combatants.

Simply put, their organization was a refuge.

Having a territory for them to develop was certainly a good thing, but the key was to hold onto this hard-won territory afterward.

“It seems we still need to develop our own team more,” Yahiko said thoughtfully.

As for Hayato, they couldn’t possibly fantasize that he would bring all of the Uchiha clan to join their organization.

And if their organization didn’t have a good future, how could it attract Hayato?

People would avoid it if they could. To put it bluntly, it would be a burden.

“But we don’t need to be so pessimistic. Let’s discuss it with Hayato tomorrow. Maybe he has a corresponding solution,” Konan suddenly said, thinking of Hayato’s various past actions, she still held some hope in her heart.

There was no point in them overthinking things here; it would only add to their troubles.

“Konan is right. It’s also a good opportunity to gauge his capabilities, so we can feel more at ease when handing the organization over to him in the future,” Nagato added from the side.

Hearing Nagato say this, Yahiko scratched his head awkwardly.

Was he really going to become a hands-off boss so soon? Was this truly okay?

However, Nagato’s words were also right; it was good to see Hayato’s capabilities.

Tomorrow would be about exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

On the other side, Hayato had no idea that Yahiko and the other two had gambled the future of the Akatsuki organization on him.

At this moment, he was thinking about Danzo.

More precisely, he was thinking about the matter between Danzo and the Akatsuki organization.

If things went smoothly, the Akatsuki organization would eventually relocate entirely to Konoha’s territory.

Then Danzo wouldn’t be able to instigate conflict between Hanzo and the Akatsuki organization.

This would prevent Yahiko from sacrificing himself and Nagato from turning dark and becoming crippled.

But if that happened, what other way would he have to deal with Danzo?

Currently, out of the three destiny choice missions, only the mission to destroy the Root organization remained incomplete.

It wasn’t that he coveted the Perfect Sage Body, but given the current situation, the final missions for the other two were difficult to complete in a short time.

He had previously intimidated the Root members and planted a listening device, but if he changed the future of the Akatsuki organization, the effectiveness of this listening device would not be maximized.

Moreover, after this period of eavesdropping, he found that he couldn’t deeply grasp Danzo’s movements.

“It seems that guy was just a small fry, not Danzo’s confidant.”

Hayato couldn’t help but feel a pity internally. If only he had encountered Aburame Ryoma last time.

Danzo hadn’t caused any trouble recently, which meant Hayato had no good reason to make a move against him.

Suddenly, a flash of light went through his mind.

It seemed there wasn’t no reason after all, Hayato’s lips curved into a smile.

He also had the appropriate identity to carry out the operation, it was truly a blessing in disguise.

After mentally reviewing the plan, Hayato clasped his hands behind his head.

“I’ll wait until this battle is over.”

It wasn’t the right time yet. Suddenly, it seemed Hayato was quite busy.

Three-line missions were all in progress.

Then he looked out the window, seeing that it was getting late.

“Forget it, I’ll spend the night here today. I’m too lazy to go back and forth.”

Hayato then lay down on the bed he had prepared and immediately fell asleep.

There would be plenty of time for him to be busy later, so he should take advantage of this peaceful time to rest well.

The next morning, after Hayato had finished washing up, he opened his door and saw Yahiko waiting for him outside.

Hayato couldn’t help but be surprised, “How long have you been here? Why didn’t you knock?”

Looking at Yahiko’s slightly reserved expression, Hayato raised an eyebrow. It seemed the other party had thought it through and had their bargaining chip for their deal.

Yahiko waved his hand, “It’s fine, I woke up early and didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I waited here.”

Hayato tilted his head, “So, should we have breakfast first? Or discuss business?”

“Either is fine, either is fine,” Yahiko said politely.

After all, they were here to seek Hayato’s help today, and they also wanted to know if Hayato had a way to enhance the overall strength of the Akatsuki organization.

“Then let’s talk while we eat. Do you have any recommendations?” Hayato said softly.

From Yahiko’s attitude, Hayato could guess some things; it probably wouldn’t be a simple matter that could be explained in a few words.

On the other side, Yahiko reacted for a moment before responding.

“I know a suitable place.”

“Then lead the way.”

Soon after, Hayato followed Yahiko to their Akatsuki organization’s main base, the same place where they had talked last time.

As for breakfast, Yahiko had just asked Konan to prepare it.

How could they discuss what they were about to discuss in a public restaurant?

That would be too careless.

Seeing this, Hayato also smiled, understanding something in his heart. It seemed they were truly determined this time.

Not long after, Konan came forward holding a tray.

She placed a bowl of udon noodles in front of Hayato and said softly, “Please enjoy.”

“Then I won’t be polite,” Hayato directly took the bowl of udon noodles and started slurping them down.

Yahiko was a bit speechless. Why was Hayato eating udon noodles so early in the morning?

But he still waited quietly.
