BFTS: Chapter 204
---
"Hmm..."
At this moment, Hito frowned and let out a soft hum, stimulated by the pain in her chest. Her eyes opened.
The moment she saw Kenshi, Hito and Ishi's reactions were similar. They both wanted to get away from Kenshi.
"Shi-jie..." Ishi quickly helped Hito up and explained the current situation to her.
Ishi didn't directly call Hito by her name, afraid that Kenshi would think of Hito's identity as the Third Tsuchikage's daughter and cause some trouble.
At this moment, the Earth Release clone truly saw himself as Ishi, forgetting his identity as Kenshi's clone.
Perfect... Kenshi was increasingly satisfied with the effect of the Perfect Clone Technique.
Hito listened to the Earth Release clone's words without any doubt. She slowly turned her gaze to Kenshi. Although her expression was still serious, she no longer tried to resist. She quickly calmed down.
Feeling the injuries in her body, Hito knew that it would be difficult for them to escape. Their lives were essentially in Kenshi's hands.
"What do you want?"
Hito asked. At the same time, she gently tapped her younger brother, Ishi, on the back, signaling that if anything happened, she would hold Kenshi back, and her younger brother would escape as quickly as possible.
"You should be the one asking me that question." Kenshi's eyes flashed, pretending not to notice Hito's small movements. He asked, "Why did you from Iwagakure attack our Akatsuki?"
Hearing this, both Hito and Ishi were taken aback. The mission to investigate Akatsuki's background was definitely confidential. They couldn't reveal it casually.
Seeing this, Kenshi's expression instantly turned cold. He said, "Although our Akatsuki is a peace-loving organization, if Iwagakure insists on being our enemy, then we can only fight back."
Hearing the implied threat in Kenshi's words, Ishi subconsciously spread his hands, covering the ground, ready to attack at any time to block Kenshi and give his Shi-jie a chance to escape.
With this performance, who would dare to say that he was Kenshi's Earth Release clone?
"Little Shi-di..." Hito was secretly touched at this moment. At the same time, she made a decision. Even if the mission failed, she couldn't let her little brother die here.
She explained to Kenshi why they were there.
Just like the intelligence that White Zetsu had gathered, after listening, Kenshi stood up from the rock. This action made both Hito and Ishi tense up instantly.
"Heh."
Kenshi smiled and said, "Don't worry. Our Akatsuki adheres to the principle of not killing, so I won't kill you."
"Also..." Kenshi's gaze sharpened. He looked down at them from above and said seriously, "Our Akatsuki is absolutely not a puppet of your major Hidden Villages. We are a peace organization of the Rain Country. We are the organization that will lead the Rain Country towards peace."
Kenshi patted the dust off his clothes and turned around. "This time, I'll let you go. Next time, if you still suspect that our Akatsuki is a puppet of another Hidden Village, you can come to me directly. You don't have to sneak around and assassinate our people."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind assassinating your Iwagakure ninjas regularly."
With that, Kenshi used a Shunshin and left.
Whew... It wasn't until a minute later, when Kenshi's figure no longer appeared, that Hito and Ishi took a deep breath.
"We're saved!"
Hito secretly rejoiced. Then, she grabbed her younger brother's hand and quickly got up to leave. She didn't want to stay here, including the Rain Country, for a single moment.
Who would have thought that such a terrifying taijutsu powerhouse would appear in a small organization like Akatsuki.
No... it wasn't necessarily a taijutsu powerhouse.
Who could be sure that he couldn't use ninjutsu?
Being targeted by someone with speed comparable to the Third Raikage was too unsettling.
"Shi-jie, do you believe what that man said?" On the way, the Earth Release clone perfectly played the role of Ishi and asked.
Hito understood that her younger brother was asking about the statement that Akatsuki wasn't backed by anyone. She nodded. "It should be true."
An organization with a Kage-level powerhouse couldn't be a puppet supported by other Hidden Villages. Cooperation was possible.
But judging from the fact that the man didn't kill them even though he knew they had killed Akatsuki's comrades, it was true, as the intelligence they had gathered said, that Akatsuki adhered to the principle of not killing.
Such an organization shouldn't be a puppet supported by other Hidden Villages.
In a way, they had already completed the mission. They had found out the situation with Akatsuki and also obtained important intelligence that there was a Kage-level powerhouse within Akatsuki. It was worth it.
...
"You actually let them go?"
On the other side, on the way back to Ameyuri City, White Zetsu emerged again, looking at Kenshi in surprise.
"Heh..." Kenshi glanced at White Zetsu and smiled. "They are Iwagakure people after all. One of them is Ōnoki's most beloved daughter. If they died at my hands, it would definitely cause a big commotion."
"Look, I'm following your instructions and not killing them, right?"
Heh... White Zetsu smiled and said nothing. He didn't believe Kenshi's words.
Kenshi didn't pay any attention to White Zetsu. He said, "I'll go first," and then activated his high-speed mode.
White Zetsu, who wasn't fast at running, was helpless. He could only sink into the ground and follow Kenshi.
"Ōnoki... I think you also have a leg shadow, Kurotsuchi!"
As he ran at high speed, Kenshi's eyes flashed. He had let Hito go because he wanted to give Ōnoki a set of the Third Hokage's combo.
It seemed like both the Father-in-Law combo and the Grandfather-in-Law combo were quite enjoyable. It should make Ōnoki feel how serious the consequences of provoking him were.
Wait for it!
My revenge won't be that simple!
...
Half a day later.
Kenshi returned to Ameyuri City.
At this moment, in the base's hall, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, Yezi, and other Akatsuki executives were all there. Everyone's faces were grim.
They still hadn't found out who had attacked their teammates on missions.
As soon as Kenshi walked in, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Kenshi-nii, did anyone come to you?" Yahiko asked.
"No." Kenshi shook his head, then said, "But I ran into two people from Iwagakure on my way back. I got some intelligence from them."
"What intelligence?" Yahiko asked, his mind tightening.
"The people who attacked our comrades were ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village, Konoha, and Iwagakure." Kenshi replied.
"It's them!!"
"Damn it!!"
"It's those three great nations' Hidden Villages again!!!"
"They just can't stand our country being peaceful and stable. They just want us to be in constant chaos so they can continue to use us as a battlefield for the three great nations!"
"Boss, let's fight them!"
"... They can't die in vain. We have no way out. The three great nations' ninjas don't care about our lives at all."
"Yeah, Boss. Let's fight them. Blood for blood!"
The moment Kenshi finished speaking, it caused the others, except Nagato, Konan, and Yezi, to become enraged. Everyone's hatred was instantly ignited. Their eyes turned red.
The three great nations had inflicted suffering on the Rain Country for generations, not just one or two. Since the Warring States Period, this country had been struggling to survive in the midst of the three great nations' wars.
It could be said that no one in the Rain Country didn't hate the ninjas of the three great nations.
Now, hearing that the three great nations were causing trouble again, they had finally managed to bring together Akatsuki, an organization that gave them hope for peace. They didn't want their dream of peace to be shattered again.
Everyone wanted to fight back. Even if they died, they wouldn't let the three great nations have it easy.
"Calm down!"
Yahiko shouted loudly, his sharp gaze sweeping across everyone.
Yahiko had a lot of prestige in Akatsuki. He might not be the strongest, but his charisma was unmatched.
It could be said that everyone in Akatsuki had come because of Yahiko.
At this moment, Yahiko's shout made everyone calm down quickly, but the hatred in their eyes remained.
