Konoha: This Sasuke is not too cold

In mid-air, Xiaonan's wings behind her were stirring unconsciously, staring at the sea, quietly lost in thought.

"Is Nagato's Rinnegan really his own?"

This sentence was like a nightmare, making Xiaonan feel chilly in her heart.

If Nagato's Rinnegan is not his, then who did the Rinnegan come from?

"The Sharingan is not as mysterious as you think. If Kakashi Hatake can control it, so can you."

Recalling Sasuke's words, Konan's uneasiness became even stronger.

Only then did she suddenly realize that it seemed that there was a pair of hands controlling them from behind, or in other words, the Akatsuki organization.

But it was all like a fog. She was in the fog and couldn't see through it at all.

The plan to meet Sasuke this time had gone wrong from the beginning. The change was so big that she was still confused and her body was cold.

"This guy won't drown down there, right?"

Although she knew this was impossible, Xiaonan felt a little anxious looking at the still calm sea.

On such a cold day, I soaked in the sea water for almost an hour. Is this really something that humans can do?

Even though she was anxious, she had no choice.

She's not a water escape ninja. It's such a cold day, let alone going into the water to find someone. She can't stand being soaked in the water.

Time passed slowly, Xiaonan kept looking at the sea.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the water and landed on the water.

Before she could speak, Sasuke took a breath and submerged himself into the water again.

Xiaonan slowly lowered his raised hand, sighed helplessly, and fell on the ice, continuing to wait boredly.

After calming down, Xiaonan suddenly felt something strange. Occasionally, a crack would appear on the unfrozen sea.

"Crack?" Xiaonan frowned and looked at it seriously.

"Buzz~" The faint sound of the sword reached his ears, and a white line flashed across the calm sea.

The white line crossed, and the seawater was cut in half at that moment, and then merged in an instant. Because the speed was so fast, Xiaonan only saw the afterimage for a moment.

"What exactly is this?"

She was confused. There was no fluctuation of chakra from the bottom of the sea, proving that this was not a ninjutsu at all.

Recalling the information she knew, Xiaonan frowned in thought.

"Can one knife cut through a crack of nearly a hundred meters..." She shook her head. She had never seen such a thing before, let alone understood it.

Time passes quietly, and the weather today is very good, it seems to be the tranquility after the snowstorm.

The warm sunshine falls on the land of Snow Country. Although it is not enough to change the cold weather, it can make my heart feel a little warm.

Xiao Nan waited patiently from morning until the sun set in the afternoon.

She had calmed down quite a bit and did not disturb Sasuke's training.

Now that Sasuke has already talked about this topic, Xiaonan believes that he is not unreasonable and will give him an answer.

"crash"

There was another sound from the sea. Xiaonan looked up and saw that the dark armor color slowly faded from the surface of the body. The armor-colored package of Sasuke's ninja sword also broke into several sections and fell to the ground.

"Your way of practicing is really scary."

Looking at Sasuke who was all wet, Konan frowned.

This way of practicing is a bit too abnormal.

"It's just a different physique"

Sasuke didn't explain much. Chakra circulated and the moisture on his body was eliminated in a few breaths.

"call!"

Although the moisture was gone, the biting chill did not disappear in a short time.

Seeing Sasuke's somewhat stiff movements, Konan kindly offered help, but Sasuke refused.

"What do you mean when you say Nagato's Rinnegan?"

On the way back, Xiaonan asked the question that had been bothering her all day.

"There are too many issues involved here. If you know now, it is inevitable that no one will notice anything." Sasuke thought for a while, but did not say it directly.

"What conditions do you have?" Xiaonan's tone was a little low. Regarding the companion she valued most, she had to pay attention to this matter.

"Why do you feel like I'm a bad guy with your tone?" Sasuke looked at her strangely, confused.

"It's not a secret to me"

"It's okay to tell you that Nagato's reincarnation eyes are indeed not his. The real owner of those eyes is dead."

"Who is its owner?" Xiaonan couldn't help but hold her breath and asked.

"Uchiha Madara, the real Uchiha Madara"

"Then why did he..." Before Konan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sasuke.

"Now is not the time to say this." Sasuke looked at her lightly and spoke calmly.

"Why?" Xiaonan was puzzled.

"So what if you know the truth? It's just another tragic reincarnation. You don't have the power to break this tragedy now."

"What are you worried about?" After a long silence, Xiaonan asked uncertainly.

Sasuke couldn't help but stop, raised his head, and looked at the morning glow on the horizon.

"What am I afraid of? It's just an uncertain factor." A soft murmur sounded in his ears.

Konan followed Sasuke's gaze to the sky in the distance. There was nothing there, but for some reason, a sense of horror of being watched came to his heart.

Along the way, the two of them were silent. He was sure that the Immortal of Six Paths was not dead and had been watching the world.

This is also the reason why Sasuke has never taken action against the will of Indra hidden in his body.

He never pinned his hopes on that uncertainty.

Even if you really want to do something, you must have the strength to bear the consequences of failure.

Back at Meako's small hotel, Meako's parents had already prepared meals for the two of them.

After dinner, it was still Sasuke's room and the same table.

The fire in the fireplace burned slowly, making the room much warmer.

"If I agree to your request and join the Uchiha clan, can you help me?"

Putting down the tea cup, Xiao Nan still spoke.

Seeing those eyes made her even more convinced that Sasuke had the power to help her.

"I don't like to force others. If you mean Uchiha Obito, then there is no need to force him, because sooner or later I will have to ask him to take back some debts."

Sasuke's tone was calm, as if he was stating an established fact.

"No, I think clearly. I want to see with my own eyes what the future you expect looks like." Xiaonan shook her head and sounded serious.

"The future I look forward to" Sasuke paused for a moment.

“It might be worse, but not necessarily.”

"Will it be worse than the current world?" Xiaonan asked.

"makes sense"

"Hmph, you little brat who likes to pretend to be serious"

"Please be respectful, Uchiha Konan, I am now the leader of the Uchiha clan."

"The patriarch who likes to pretend to be serious?"

Sasuke:  …

Although the results were different from what was expected, Xiaonan also achieved her goal, and this is also the reason why she has chosen to believe in herself over the years instead of relying on others.
