The Konoha Police Department is responsible for maintaining public order in Konoha and overseeing the prison.

Learning from the Land of Rain wouldn't hurt.

"Guren, take Yahiko over for a visit."

Qingsi spoke.

Honglian was also assigned to the Dark Division by Qingsi, where she served as the captain of one of the squads.

"Yes."

After being defeated by a group of ANBU, Guren, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared on the scene using the "Body Flicker Technique".

"It's troublesome."

Yahiko said politely.

"Yahiko, let me go with you."

Xiao Nan's heart tightened.

She didn't want to be alone with Kiyoshi.

"That would be too impolite. I'll leave things to you, Mr. Kiyoshi, Minami."

Yahiko looked pleading.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan frowned slightly and finally let out a soft sigh.

Before long, Yahiko had followed Guren to the Konoha Police Department.

Konan and Kiyoshi continued strolling along the street.

"Xiao Nan, you know that the Xin Xiao organization has recently disappeared, right?"

As they walked, Kiyoshi spoke up.

Konan and Yahiko's initial purpose in coming to Konoha was to ask Kiyoshi for help in dealing with the New Akatsuki organization and to spare Nagato's life.

"I know."

Xiao Nan nodded.

The New Akatsuki are a cunning bunch. They somehow got wind of this and have started to lie low in the ninja world, avoiding attention.

Nobody knows when they will reappear or what changes they will bring.

"So, as you know, Nagato went to extremes and was thus bewitched. Your existence will allow Nagato to have some room to maneuver."

"If you or Yahiko died unexpectedly, do you think Nagato would have pursued his ideals even more extremely and become deeply involved with the New Akatsuki organization?"

Kiyoshi said slowly.

The current Nagato is different from the original work; apart from losing his parents, he has not completely turned to the dark side.

Only if either Konan or Yahiko dies will it drive him to the dark side, leaving him no way out.

"you……"

Xiao Nan was taken aback.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was indeed as Kiyoshi had said.

The last resort for the other side to win over Nagato is to sever Nagato's "bonds".

They might even frame ninjas from other villages for the cause of death.

"I have recently developed a new batch of equipment that will not only enhance the strength of the Land of Rain, but also greatly increase your and Yahiko's ability to survive."

"What is it?"

Xiao Nan followed up with the question.

As she walked, one could vaguely see that her ankles, beneath her black robe, were wrapped in black silk, outlining her slender and perfect curves.

Even from just the tip of the iceberg, it's clear that Xiao Nan maintains a great figure.

Although it lacks the trials and tribulations of characters like Nono and Tsunade, it possesses the innocence of a young girl.

Then, considering that Xiao Nan has a nail in her abdomen and a lip piercing, she has an even stronger rebellious vibe.

"Chakra Armor."

Kiyoshi said.

They are now gradually perfecting the blueprints provided by Kiyoshi and establishing the corresponding production line to begin producing the "Chakra Armor: Dragon" series.

The old-fashioned armor is no longer of any use; it can be sold to recoup some losses.

It can also collect data from the ninjas of the Land of Rain after they use it, and use this data to better develop new "Chakra Armor".

Seeing Konan's puzzled expression, Kiyoshi began to explain to her in a simple way what "Chakra Armor" was.

After all, this thing has not been used on a large scale; it is currently only used in the Land of Snow and Konoha on a small scale.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Xiao Nan's expression brightened, and she looked at Qing Si with her amber eyes.

"Of course, all you need to do is pay enough compensation."

Qingsi nodded.

The Land of Rain would be a good target, as it is constantly plagued by internal strife and war.

Because many countries are still infiltrating, the Old Dawn organization has limited manpower and cannot attend to everyone.

Once the reputation of the "Chakra Armor" spreads, Konoha will receive more product orders.

At that time, it will only be possible to exchange it for money and resources.

These can greatly improve Qing Si's research speed, allowing him to study the projects he wants to research and become stronger.

"You have more than just this requirement, don't you?"

Xiao Nan bit her lip.

She didn't believe that Kiyoshi only used money or resources in his transactions.

"Hmm... I also want to continue learning 'Paper' Release ninjutsu."

Kiyoshi spoke up as a matter of course.

He looked at the paper flower representing purity clipped to Xiao Nan's short blue hair.

Sometimes, adding your own colors makes paper flowers more beautiful and gives you a greater sense of accomplishment.

Konan was unusually silent, showing no intention of scolding Kiyoshi.

Clearly, this is a deal.

Whether she wants to complete it or not is entirely up to her.

Konan thought of Yahiko. Yahiko's attempt to achieve peace without resorting to force, and his attempt to foster mutual understanding between people, was indeed somewhat naive.

Having these "chakra armors" would greatly enhance the foundation of the old Akatsuki organization and the strength of its members.

By then, Yahiko won't be living such a tiring life as he is now.

After thinking carefully, Xiao Nan spoke in a hoarse voice:

"For the sake of the Land of Rain and Yahiko, we do indeed have this need."

"Then let's move to another place to discuss the quantity and price of the first batch of armor, as well as the subsequent plans."

Qing Si smiled slightly, indicating that there were too many people around and it wasn't a suitable place to discuss business.

Ideally, it should be a place where only the two of you are alone.

Not long after, Kiyoshi and Konan left together and arrived at a suitable place for discussion.

In a seven-story hotel, Xiao Nan and Qing Si were on the third floor.

Konan was unaware that Nagato had already arrived in Konoha.

At this moment, the puppet controlled by Nagato stood downstairs, expressionless.

This puppet is incapable of making expressions such as smiling or sadness; it only displays its usual indifference.

But Nagato's heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Nagato started to feel uneasy because Konan and Yahiko were supposed to stay in Konoha for so long.

Discovering that Kiyoshi and Konan had gone upstairs alone together only made him feel extremely depressed.

He finally understood what it felt like to love someone you can't have.

"Xiao Nan... is no longer the Xiao Nan I knew."

Thinking of this, Nagato walked out dejectedly.

This feeling of sadness quickly turned into anger towards Kiyoshi.

If it were Yahiko, that would be fine; we're all brothers.

What is Ke Qingsi?

Wow.

Xiao Nan drew back the curtains, and in the darkness, her black robe blended almost seamlessly into the shadows.

She glanced down but didn't find anything amiss.

……

By the time Yahiko finished his visit, it was already 9 p.m.

His face still held a look of lingering satisfaction.

Konoha truly lives up to its name; compared to the Land of Rain's own trial and error, following the experience of their predecessors is clearly much easier.

"Xonan."

Just as Yahiko was still thinking about how to find Konan and Kiyoshi, he saw the two of them on the street not far ahead.

Yahiko rushed over, wanting to share his joy at learning something new with Minami.

As Konan listened to Yahiko's nagging, she simply lowered her face, as if she were a dutiful listener.

After a while, when Yahiko finished speaking, he noticed that Konan's face was slightly red.

It was as if he had drunk a little alcohol, and he was slightly tipsy.

Under the illumination of the streetlights, it appeared even more beautiful.

Even just standing still, she seemed to have gained a certain air about her compared to before.

Yahiko couldn't help but think of the past, and his heart skipped a beat.

He met Konan first, and Nagato joined later.

The three are the closest of friends, but their feelings towards Xiao Nan are somewhat complicated.

Yahiko has feelings for Konan, but he feels that Konan would be better off with Nagato.

Nagato thought the same thing.

Unfortunately, no one crossed the line, and they all strictly maintained the boundaries of friendship.

Sometimes Yahiko worries that Konan might be kidnapped by ninjas who appear out of nowhere.

"I'm a little tired, Yahiko. Why don't we rest for today?"

"Alright."

Yahiko nodded. Since he would be staying in Konoha for another three or four days anyway, there was no rush.

"As long as there is something to gain."

Kiyoshi patted Yahiko on the shoulder.

He knew that in the original story, both Yahiko and Nagato had feelings for Konan, but he kept pushing her away.

Unfortunately, Xiao Nan is a living, breathing person, not someone's possession.

If no one claims it, Kiyoshi will be the first to claim it.

"We should also see if we can return to Kaguya's era."
