Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters old acquaintance
Kanzo didn't say much to Yahiko, and only hurriedly explained some life experiences, and then took a few subordinates to leave wisely. For a while, only Yahiko and Konan were left at the door of the train station.
All the light bulbs have dispersed, and the couple can naturally communicate freely. Xiaonan has a lot of things she wants to talk to Yahiko.
It just so happened that Yahiko had just concluded a big project and wanted to relax his tense nerves, so he readily agreed to Xiaonan's request, and the two held hands and walked around casually.
A man and a woman were walking along the aisle of the platform where people were coming and going. The atmosphere was warm and sweet. Under this rare sunny day in the Rainy Province, it felt more or less like a vacation.
In fact, as high-level officials in the Rain Province, the Yahikos have a very heavy workload, and there are not many opportunities to relax as leisurely as they do now. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a vacation.
Even just a few hours is enough to satisfy them.
As she walked, she pulled her collar and unbuttoned the top three buttons of her suit. Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that the constraint in her chest was much lessened.
His eyes quietly moved to the side, and he found that Yahiko was not looking over. Konan curled up the corner of his mouth, and then changed his mind. Thinking of her husband's upcoming itinerary, she started a topic related to Konoha:
"Yahiko, you must have heard about the incident a few months ago, right? It was about the Hyuga clan and the Nine-Tails uprising. The commotion at that time seemed to be very loud."
Xiaonan said it casually, looking for something to talk about. After hearing this, Yahiko's eyes suddenly darkened and he replied in a solemn tone:
"To be precise, it was two months ago."
"When Senior Brother Minato wrote to me last time, he briefly mentioned this matter. He said that this matter was a conspiracy by foreign forces and a terrorist attack. We will definitely fight back in the future."
External forces? Only the Federation, right?
As for counterattack...
Unconsciously squeezing Yahiko's hand, Xiaonan's face showed a hint of worry: "There won't be a war, right? Will the central government ask our rain province to send troops in the future?"
After the Third Ninja War, Yahiko Konan was promoted to a high official by the Congress, which was essentially their teacher, because of his many meritorious services. Now he is considered successful.
When peace comes, even though the work pressure is a bit high, Xiaonan doesn't care about physical fatigue.
After all, being able to follow her husband all the way and contribute to her hometown is such a fulfilling life that she is already intoxicated.
For this reason, Xiaonan does not want to see the war restart and break this hard-won peace.
"A fight should be impossible, and sending troops is even less likely. I guess..." Subconsciously touching his nose, Yahiko smiled and said:
"At most, we can just send a small force to cause trouble in important towns in the Kingdom of Water or the Kingdom of Thunder, and conduct a wave of attacks to treat others with their own methods."
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, this was indeed the most likely option. After all, if the balance of combat power between Lei Luo and Bing was not broken, even if there was a real war, there would be no result.
The current situation, according to Yahiko's analysis, is that you send people to terrorize me today, and I will return it with the same means tomorrow. This behavior is just to vent anger and has no real meaning.
To put it simply, as long as Lei Luo or Bing do not take action, no matter how fiercely the Empire and Federation fight in private, it will only be a matter of face at best and will not interfere with the overall situation.
After understanding this, Xiaonan suddenly started to curse in her heart. She felt that both her own high-level officials and the enemy's high-level officials were a group of bastards who did not do anything all day long and could do nothing but cause trouble.
Sure enough, my own Yahiko is better...
"Hey! Yahiko, Konan!"
Just at this moment, a surprised shout rang out, interrupting Konan's thoughts. Yahiko also stopped, and both of them looked forward.
I saw a guy wearing a mask, with a strong build, and not dressed like a good guy, roughly squeezing through the crowd around him, and running towards this direction amidst the roar of curses.
"Are you..." Yahiko frowned slightly and looked into the green pupils that were getting closer. When the other party came closer, he took the initiative to ask with a little doubt:
"It's strange. You look very familiar to me, but I don't remember who you are. This situation is really rare. Do you mind telling me who you are?"
"My name is Kakuzu, and I turn out to be a member of Akatsuki."
Kakuzu stopped, turned his green eyes, glanced at Yahiko and his wife, and found that their temperaments were completely different from before, as if they had changed from a killer licking blood from the edge of a knife to a graceful and elegant noble, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
What he wanted to say out loud, he held back. After polishing it again and again, Fang stretched out his hand to scratch his head awkwardly, and said stiffly and seemingly sincerely:
"Yahiko, Xiaonan, long time no see, do you want to go have a meal together? I'll treat you."
Upon hearing the name "Kakuzu", Yahiko suddenly exclaimed, and Konan also recalled the identity of the man opposite him in time, but their reactions were completely different.
Yahiko took a step forward with a face full of joy, seemingly ready to shake Kakuzu's hand and reminisce about old times, while Konan kept an expressionless face and stared at Kakuzu with alert eyes.
There were even flying pieces of paper floating out of the cuffs.
"It turns out to be Kakuzu-senpai. I remember you. I fought with Hanzo back then. Thanks to your and Jiraiya-senpai's help, what would have happened to Akatsuki without you..."
"It's really...I don't even dare to think about it."
Yahiko's enthusiastic attitude seemed to have completely forgotten Kakuzu's behavior of hiding his identity from Akatsuki, which made Kakuzu feel uncomfortable. His eyes happened to glance at Konan, and he felt that the latter's reaction was normal, but in short...
"Want to go have a meal together? I'll treat you."
For some reason, Yahiko always felt that Kakuzu emphasized the words "I'm treating you" very hard. He rolled his eyes slightly and quickly agreed with a smile. At the same time, he waved his hand to Konan without any trace, indicating that the latter must not be rude.
"Yahiko... you just value friendship too much. I still can't tell who Kakuzu is."
Watching Yahiko and Kakuzu walking towards a nearby restaurant, Konan stood there and muttered helplessly to himself.
Finally, he sighed heavily, put away the paper, and stepped up to follow.
Inside the restaurant, the guests and guests were seated on both sides. The waiter brought the menu and glanced at it. When he saw the price list, he felt quite sad. Because this restaurant is built near the train station, the food prices are naturally not cheap.
But thinking about the purpose of this trip to find Yahiko, Kakuzu finally gritted his teeth and ordered a lot of random food in an instant, specifically choosing the most expensive ones, which cost tens of thousands of taels.
While the food was being served, Konan said nothing, while Yahiko and Kakuzu started chatting. Contrary to usual, this time it was Yahiko who was mostly listening, while Kakuzu was talking, and most of the topics focused on business in the past few years.

To sum it up simply, Jiaodu did not do well, very badly. Not to mention collecting people's heads in exchange for bounties as easily and comfortably as before, he almost lost his own life several times.
