"Now you know to beg for mercy? Where were you before?"
An sneered and slowly walked in from outside. He stood in front of Bai and Karin, reached out and patted Karin's head, and scolded, "You're a ninja now. Next time you encounter this situation, you can't back down and run away. You should bravely fight back and kill those guys."
"But—" Karin stammered, "they are Rain Ninja, and we're now living under their roof—"
"What do you mean by living under someone else's roof?" An glared at her and pinched her cheek. "If the Akatsuki didn't have any use for me here, I wouldn't bother coming to this damp and sticky place even if they invited me."
"We, the Uchiha, are a prestigious clan in the ninja world. Wherever we go, we are treated with respect. There is never any situation where we are dependent on others."
"Remember this: in this world, the strong always rule. What right do a bunch of Rain Ninja have to challenge you?"
"Oh." Karin nodded, seemingly not quite understanding.
A whooshing sound rang out, and Nagato's figure appeared before them.
He looked at the group of Rain Ninja corpses hanging from the big tree and became furious.
"What are you doing!"
"What are you doing?" An glanced at him sideways, then pointed to the group of people watching in the distance. "Why don't you go ask them?"
"Look at these Rain Ninja you've spoiled rotten!"
"They take everything you give them for granted, enjoy the peace you have painstakingly created without a care in the world, and claim credit for it all, thinking how great they are and how much they have accomplished."
"They've long forgotten reverence and have no gratitude whatsoever; they're just like those villagers in Konoha!"
"I know you don't care about their gratitude, and frankly, neither do I."
"But I cannot allow them to have no respect for me!"
"The glory of the Uchiha clan is not something that a bunch of trash like them can touch."
Nagato ignored the group of people around him and stared only at An.
"What a coincidence, I can't allow you to have no respect for me either!"
"You have repeatedly challenged my authority, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics to instigate internal strife."
"To be honest, the other members of the organization were all beaten into submission before joining Akatsuki, but you were the only one who came to us on your own initiative."
"It seems I really need to teach you this lesson."
"It's time to teach you a lesson and show you who really calls the shots in the Akatsuki!"
"Pfft—hahahahaha—" An was immediately amused by Nagato's words, and he clutched his stomach and laughed wildly.
"Nagato, Nagato, who gave you the courage to think you were guaranteed to win?"
"It seems I've been fighting all this time and haven't shown you my true combat capabilities, which led to your misjudgment!"
"Fine, since the Akatsuki organization is no longer of any use to me, I might as well fight you to the death today. After that, you go your way, I'll go mine, and we'll go our separate ways!"
'
"Hmph!" Nagato snorted coldly, pointing into the distance. "This place is too close to the village. Let's go fight over there."
"Okay!" An nodded in agreement and followed Nagato as they ran into the distance.
Karin and the others waited anxiously, watching as missiles flew everywhere, followed by a gigantic summoning beast, then a towering giant, and an endless sea of trees rising from the ground, before a series of explosions.
The summoned beast fell down, then stood up again.
The forest was leveled, but it grew back.
A violent explosion, a blinding white light, the earth trembling violently even several kilometers away, a gale-force wind like a knife cutting through the ground, and a shockwave like a tsunami —
The two fought fiercely for an unknown period of time before finally stopping.
The people of Amegakure cheered as they looked at the god who was still hanging high in the sky.
But before they could celebrate, An appeared in Amegakure, full of energy and showing no signs of injury.
An waved to Xinyou and her daughter, "Pack your things, let's leave here. We won't stay here anymore."
"Great! It's so good that the clan leader is alright!" Karin cheered and rushed over to hug An tightly.
Xinyou and Bai quickly packed a small bag and left the Rain Country with An.
"Hey, clan leader, you won, right?" Karin's little mouth never stopped asking along the way.
"It's a draw, I guess!" An spread his hands and said helplessly, "Nagato is too cheating. He flies into the sky, and I can't reach him."
"Speaking of which, I taught him this move before the Battle of Konoha!"
"However, he can't break through my Divine Might Space, nor can he hurt me."
"We attacked each other for a while, but found that neither of us could do anything to the other, so we stopped at the same time."
"I see!" Karin put her arm around An's neck and said with a grin, "I believe the clan leader will definitely be able to defeat him next time."
"The clan leader is the only god in this ninja world."
"Haha—" An laughed happily upon hearing this, "That's right, it's just flying!"
"Once I transplant the Tenseigan, I'll be able to fly freely in the sky."
"By then, Nagato will definitely be no match for me."
"I just hope he hasn't been played to death by Jue and his gang by then."
The group chatted and laughed as they left the Land of Rain and entered the Land of Wind.
Following the trail left by Shukaku, An quickly found the big cat sunbathing and taking a nap in the desert.
"Hey, dog, haven't seen you in a while, have you missed me?" An jumped onto Shukaku's head and asked with a grin.
"You're the dog!" Shukaku roared and slapped himself on the head, but unsurprisingly, it had no effect.
"Alright, let me introduce you to some new friends."
An waved and called Karin and the others over to Shukaku. He introduced them to each other, then took out a deck chair, placed it on Shukaku's head, and lay down comfortably.
"Hey, let's go to the Land of Fire and see if Konoha Village has been destroyed."
Shukaku grumbled a few times, but finally obediently set off.
This time, when they passed through the Land of Rivers, no fools dared to step out, and the group passed through smoothly and entered the territory of the Land of Fire.
But not long after entering the place, Ann heard some news that made him very unhappy.
The five countries have actually started peace talks!
"Are you kidding? Did they even ask for my consent before they started negotiating?"
After uttering a curse, An decided to sabotage the whole affair for them.
