After Training Bankai for a Decade, I Was Scouted by the Akatsuki Chapter 157 Just Finished Speaking and Already Trying to Sli

Staring at Kyo ahead,

Pain was almost instantly completely frozen, his mind blank.

This...

What's going on?!

Why is Kyo here?!

Isn't he supposed to still be in the Land of Earth, responsible for recruiting Deidara with Zetsu...?!

This...

Such a completely unexpected situation,

Naturally, in an instant,

Caused Nagato, who was in the shadows, to freeze!

Just now, he had controlled the Animal Path Pain to co here precisely because he had only sensed Konan's aura.

But... he never imagined,

After arriving here...

Kyo was also here!

You have to understand,

Although Nagato had mastered the Six Paths of Pain for many years,

Within Akatsuki,

Besides Konan, only the masked man and Zetsu knew of the existence of all Six Paths of Pain.

As for the other mbers,

Even including Kakuzu and Itachi, they only knew of the sole Deva Path Path.

Even Kyo,

Over these years, Nagato had always only appeared before him as Deva Path Pain.

But this ti,

He unexpectedly appeared as the Animal Path...

Awkward!

In an instant, Nagato was completely stunned.

And at this mont,

Kyo and Konan on this side also looked over.

Seeing the long-haired Pain before them, Konan was also slightly stunned.

Huh?

What's going on...

Did Nagato forget to switch back to his main account...?

Appearing before Kyo in the Animal Path form???

Although just now,

She had already revealed everything to Kyo,

She also never imagined this situation would occur...

However, at this mont,

Before she could even speak,

Kyo beside her looked over, and then suddenly chuckled and said:

"Yo,"

"Pain, haven't seen you in half a month,"

"Did you get a haircut?"

"...Eh?"

At these words,

Instant silence.

Both Animal Path Pain, who hadn't fully erged from the darkness, and Konan were stunned.

Huh?

Haircut???

This damn...

It's not just the hairstyle, even the body shape is completely different, alright?!

He didn't even notice that???

Konan was naturally a bit bewildered.

However,

Nagato in the shadows, after his initial bewildernt,

Suddenly had a thought, and instantly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

It seed,

He still mistook for Deva Path...?

Perhaps due to the dim surroundings, he didn't recognize ...

This is good, saves exposure!

Thinking this,

Nagato instantly focused his mind, and through the Animal Path's body, spoke in a low voice towards the front:

"Ah... that's right."

"Sin- since you're back already, co, co to a eting a little later."

"I'll go first."

With his indifferent words falling,

His figure instantly leaped away, disappearing into the darkness almost as if fleeing.

His speed was comparable to carrying a missile upstairs.

He didn't even bother to ask how Kyo had returned.

He just directly vanished into the distance.

Without a doubt,

He was naturally going to imdiately switch accounts now.

After all,

The Six Paths of Pain were his big secret, and the ti to reveal them to Kyo hadn't arrived yet...

He still needed to hide the other five paths.

And only appear before people as Deva Path.

"..."

And on this side at this mont,

After Animal Path had gone far,

After a mont of silence,

Konan suddenly looked at Kyo in surprise, then frowned slightly, puzzled:

"Kyo..."

"Didn't I already... tell you the truth about Pain, why didn't you..."

"Why didn't I expose him, you an?"

Kyo chuckled.

And Konan was montarily stunned, then nodded.

She understood in her heart,

With Kyo's extraordinary perception, it was impossible for him not to notice the difference between this Pain and the previous one...

After all, although their auras were similar,

Animal Path and Deva Path, whether in hairstyle, body type, or appearance, were in fact vastly different.

It was fundantally impossible to mistake them for the sa person.

Therefore, she had just suspected that Kyo had deliberately said that.

So she asked imdiately after Pain left.

And at this mont,

Kyo withdrew his gaze, looked at Konan, and smiled calmly:

"It's very simple, Konan."

"You are willing to tell these important secrets because you trust ."

"But... Nagato is different."

"Currently, he is still in a state of vigilance towards ."

"If I had really exposed him directly this ti, then... things would have gotten troubleso."

"You know, I've never liked these unnecessary troubles."

"So,"

"I hope you won't reveal today's conversation to him for the ti being either."

"Let's talk about it when the ti is right, how about it?"

"..."

Hearing this, Konan was montarily stunned.

"This..."

Konan's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

She then recalled,

This guy Kyo, although he indeed had many good qualities...

But,

He really did seem afraid of trouble.

For example, back then when he was tasked with pursuing Orochimaru and investigating the white Kitsune Ogre...

These two missions,

He had ultimately abandoned them,

And to this day, they remained unfinished...

However,

Before she could think further, Kyo raised his step and smiled:

"Let's go."

"Don't keep the leader waiting too long."

"I still need to report on this mission."

Saying this,

Kyo walked straight ahead.

And Konan, snapping out of it, shook her head slightly and followed.

Watching Kyo's familiar back as she walked forward, Konan's heart gradually cald down.

She decided to temporarily follow Kyo's suggestion.

However,

At this mont,

What she didn't know was,

Kyo, with his back to her, had a faint, excited smile on his face!

Because,

Shortly after Pain appeared,

The system's main mission prompt...

Finally appeared!

From the ti he left Konoha until now,

The part of the system related to the main mission had remained silent.

And just now, a clear prompt finally ca.

Therefore,

Kyo naturally didn't want to waste any more ti here.

He just wanted to quickly report the mission and then peacefully collect all the main mission rewards!

...

A mont later,

Kyo and Konan arrived at Akatsuki's tall tower.

This place,

Was usually where Akatsuki's eting trio gathered.

But today,

Apart from Deva Path Pain and Konan,

The third participant in the eting was not the mysterious masked man, but Kyo.

However,

Kyo was naturally there to report the results of this mission.

That's right.

The Konoha Joint Chunin Exams.

Although secretly, Kyo had gone purely to complete the system's main mission,

Ostensibly, of course,

He had gone to investigate intelligence on Konoha's Kyubi Jinchuriki.

Therefore,

From the very beginning of the report, he didn't intend to beat around the bush.

Instead, he looked at Pain ahead,

And chuckled:

"As I said in the communication earlier."

"All the intelligence has been thoroughly investigated."

"Konoha's Kyubi Jinchuriki is nad Uzumaki Naruto, currently a Genin, training under Konoha Jonin, Hatake Kakashi."

"His mother was the previous generation Kyubi Jinchuriki of Konoha, Uzumaki Kushina, and his father was the deceased Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."

"Currently, the Kyubi is still sealed within him, with no unusual activity."

"His Chakra Reserve is extrely massive, and for now, he seems to primarily excel only at the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

"That's all."

Kyo spoke unhurriedly.

In just a few dozen seconds,

He instantly revealed almost all the information about the Jinchuriki.

After listening to this passage,

Even Pain and Konan, who were already ntally prepared, couldn't help but be stunned.

It took a long while after Kyo finished speaking for Pain to say in surprise:

"It's... this detailed?"

"That's right."

Kyo spread his hands and chuckled:

"Finding this out was actually not difficult."

"After all,"

"In other Shinobi Villages, Jinchuriki are often given special importance."

"But in Konoha, it's quite the opposite."

"This Kyubi Jinchuriki has always been treated as if he were the demon fox itself, so information about him was easy for to obtain."

"So,"

"If there's nothing else to discuss, I'll be going now."

As he spoke,

Kyo suddenly stood up directly and imdiately prepared to leave.

"???"

Seeing this,

Pain and Konan beside him were montarily stunned.

This...

Isn't this too rushed?

Just finished speaking and already trying to slip away???
