Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 69 Entering Amegakure

After obtaining the book that held the key to Kimimaro's life and death, Sasuke did nothing more than have Kimimaro train with him.

Although Kimimaro was greatly affected by being abandoned by Orochimaru, he ultimately chose to obey Orochimaru's arrangements and wholeheartedly accompanied Sasuke in training his taijutsu.

For a time, Sasuke was completely immersed in a very busy training life, and his strength improved day by day.

Just as Sasuke was getting fatter and fatter in Otogakure, Itachi Uchiha, who was on his way, couldn't help but ask Mavis about Zeref's situation.

“Zeref is actually teaching Sasuke,” said Itachi Uchiha, who had sent out crows to observe the situation from afar.

Mavis rested her chin on her hand and pondered, "It seems that it will be even more difficult for Naruto and Sakura to bring Sasuke back to Konoha."

Itachi Uchiha said with some relief, "Sasuke will definitely become stronger."

After scouting the surrounding area, Kisame returned and saw the two whispering behind his back again. He once again felt like he was being ostracized and walked over speechlessly.

Upon seeing Kisame return, Itachi quickly stopped the conversation, as Kisame couldn't know about Sasuke's situation.

Although he knew that his occasional private conversations with Mavis during this period might have aroused Kisame's suspicion, he had to find out the truth about Sasuke's situation, even if it aroused suspicion.

Besides, there was no real evidence, so even if Kisame had doubts, Itachi wasn't too worried.

"Kisame-san, you're back. Will we be able to reach Amegakure soon?" Mavis greeted him.

Seeing Mavis's seemingly expectant expression, Kisame couldn't help but pour cold water on her, saying, "Mavis, don't be too optimistic. The leader isn't someone who's easy to persuade. If he thinks you're in his way, he might just kill you."

After saying that, Kisame looked at Mavis, only to find that there was no fear on Mavis's face.

Mavis never feared death, especially since the contradictory curse prevented her from even choosing her own death.

She simply smiled and said, "If the leader of Akatsuki is truly seeking peace, as you say, then I think he would at least be willing to let me finish speaking first."

……

Rain Village is shrouded in continuous rain year after year, as if this small village is shedding endless tears.

Pain and Konan stood on a high place, quietly watching the scene of Amegakure.

Suddenly, Pain turned his head to look towards the entrance of Amegakure. Konan tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong, Pain?"

"Kisame and Itachi are back," Pain said.

Xiao Nan was taken aback, not understanding what was so noteworthy about this. She hesitated and said, "Considering the timing, it's not strange that they're coming back at this time."

Payne turned and walked into the building, saying, "Besides Itachi and Kisame, there's another person, Konan. Bring them here; I need an explanation."

……

As Mavis entered Amegakure and felt herself being soaked by the rain, she looked at Kisame and Itachi beside her, who were also soaked but seemed used to it. Mavis's expression was somewhat conflicted.

Finally, she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Itachi, Kisame, um, I wanted to ask, is the weather in Amegakure always like this?"

Kisame turned around upon hearing this and laughed, "That's right. Just like the name of this village, it rains all year round. What's wrong? Are you having trouble adjusting to the humid climate?"

Mavis's expression became even more conflicted. She said, "No, that's not it. What I meant was... since it rains so often, why don't you prepare umbrellas in advance?"

Kisame: "......"

Itachi: "......"

Xiao Nan, who had just arrived: "......"

That's a good question. Don't ask it again next time.

The answer is that ninjas don't have the habit of using umbrellas.

The answer is that ninjas are used to living outdoors and are always ready for battle.

The question is that harsh environments are also one of the essential lessons for ninjas to learn in endurance.

The rain seemed to be lamenting the tragic fate of the ninjas...

(Mavis: ...I don't really understand you ninjas ⊙▽⊙)

Konan, who had just arrived, looked at Mavis and was somewhat surprised that Itachi and Kisame had brought back such a girl.

A girl who looks delicate and innocent, not at all like a ninja.

Looking at Mebius's youthful and innocent appearance, and then at her long, golden hair soaked by the rain and clinging tightly to her body, and the fact that she wasn't even wearing shoes, Xiao Nan noticed that she looked rather pitiful.

For some reason, Konan's deepest soft spot was touched, as if she were seeing herself, Yahiko, and Nagato during the difficult days before they met Jiraiya.

(Mavis: ...Well, how should I put it? Although she looks delicate, she's actually very strong inside. And not wearing shoes is just a habit. It's probably just a beautiful misunderstanding *^_^*)

Kisame and Itachi were not surprised to see Konan suddenly appear before them.

After all, the rainwater in Amegakure was filled with Pain's chakra, a fact that was already an open secret within the Akatsuki organization.

"Hey, Xiao Nan, does the leader have any orders?"

As the more talkative member of the Zhu-Nan duo, Kisame was used to taking the initiative to speak. After all, Kisame couldn't really imagine Itachi Uchiha being a chatterbox.

Konan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was as cold as ever: "Come with me, Payne is waiting for you."

He glanced at Mavis and added, "Regarding your unauthorized entry into Amegakure."

As expected, Itachi calmly said, "Regarding this matter, we should indeed see Pain first."

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Xiao Nan was about to turn around when she suddenly stopped and glanced at Mavis, who was looking at her with curiosity but was quietly not interrupting their conversation.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she reached out and made an umbrella out of origami and handed it to Mavis.

Looking at the paper umbrella handed to her, Mavis was somewhat surprised. Then, looking up at Konan, whose expression still seemed cold, she realized something and gave a bright smile.

The sunshine was warm and bright, like the sunshine that even the continuous rain in the Rain Village couldn't extinguish.

Mavis looked at Konan and said with a smile, "Thank you for your paper umbrella, it's very beautiful, Miss Konan."

As she spoke, Mavis reached out and took the umbrella. Although it was made of paper, the surface of the umbrella seemed to be coated with something like oil, so it completely kept the rain out.

Holding the umbrella over her head, Mavis smiled and said to Konan, "Miss Konan, hello, my name is Mavis, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Then, with concern, she asked, "Miss Konan, would you like to share an umbrella? Even though you're a ninja, you still catch colds and fevers sometimes, right?"

She shook her head slightly but didn't say anything. Konan turned and walked into the village, with Kisame and Itachi following closely behind.

Kisame and Itachi exchanged a glance after glancing at the umbrella Mavis was holding. Somewhat surprised, Kisame said to Mavis, "That's rare. It seems Konan likes you quite a bit."

Holding the umbrella higher, Mavis smiled and said, "Because Miss Nan is a soft-hearted person."

Walking ahead, Xiao Nan paused almost imperceptibly, too quickly for anyone to notice her momentary unease. (The person Mavis described as having a soft heart.)

As soon as they entered the Akatsuki's base, the paper umbrellas turned back into paper and scattered.

Mavis watched this scene with some surprise; this was a ninjutsu she had never seen even in Konoha.

Mavis continued to follow Kisame and Itachi. When the three in front stopped, Mavis saw an orange-haired man with strange circular patterns in his eyes standing in front of her, staring straight at her.

Mavis, unaware that it was the legendary Rinnegan of the ninja world, only felt that those eyes seemed to contain some strange power.

"Kisame, Itachi, explain why you brought an outsider into the organization." Pain's extremely imposing gaze fell on Kisame and Itachi.
