Chapter 133 Pretending to be Innocent
Chapter 133 Pretending to be Innocent
No sooner had Uchiha Hajime and Itachi left than Darui emerged from the rift. Watching the two figures recede into the distance, he felt a strange sense of unease.
"Darui, what are you looking at?" hope followed his gaze and saw only a vast expanse of snow.
"It's nothing, let's go!" he said, and headed straight towards the Land of Iron.
The closer they got to the Land of Iron, the more frequently they encountered ninjas from other countries.
The five major powers jointly organized the Chunin Exams, and many smaller countries came without being invited.
Konoha, known as the number one ninja village, was immediately taken to prepared accommodations upon arrival in the Land of Iron.
Those from smaller countries that come to participate generally have to find their own accommodation.
That's how the Land of Rain is.
"How miserable, having to endure wind and rain to participate in the Chunin Exams." Lone Star said with a face full of sorrow, which made the young Pain speechless. He stood up and pulled Lone Star to a place on the street.
Feeling utterly bewildered, Lone Star asked, "Where are you taking me? Are you going to conjure up a house out of nowhere?"
"Hmm," Payne responded silently.
Now it was her turn to be surprised.
"arrive."
Lone Star looked at the house in front of him, his mouth agape.
“Boss Payne, did you kill the homeowner and then take over the house?” she said, gesturing with her neck.
"Is that how you perceive me?" Payne asked, his tone tinged with displeasure.
Lone Star nodded vigorously, "That's right."
Payne laughed in anger, pinning the man against the wall and staring intently at him.
Lone Star felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and forced himself to speak, "I know I'm good-looking, but you should let go after staring at me for so long!"
After she finished speaking, she tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't move it.
After a long silence, the young Payne finally spoke, "You are not allowed to question what I say from now on."
"Mmm." Lone Star immediately nodded obediently.
Her sudden change to obedience made young Payne uncomfortable. He looked her over carefully before letting go of her.
Freeing her hands, Lone Star was eager for revenge. She wasn't Pain, so she refused to believe she couldn't defeat him. She reached for the sword at her waist.
"Is this what you're looking for?" the young Payne asked, holding a longsword.
"You..." Gu Xing was so angry that she couldn't speak. She hadn't even noticed when it was taken away.
"Could Nagato have created this young Pain specifically to counter her?" Lone Star was filled with doubt.
After all, there's no such young Pain in the Naruto storyline. "How infuriating!"
"So his obedience just now was all an act," the young Payne thought to himself.
Suddenly, a fist came flying towards his face.
"Why is her wrist so red? Did he scratch it just now?" Young Payne's attention was completely focused on this.
Lone Star not only failed to hit anyone, but was also countered.
Young Payne pulled up her sleeve and clearly saw that her entire wrist was bright red. A trace of guilt flashed deep in his eyes.
"Alright, that's enough, I give up!" Gu Xing said, pouting with a defiant look on her face.
Young Payne suddenly picked her up, startling her. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Realizing what was happening, she quickly released him and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"Healing." He glanced down at her and replied.
"Huh?" A hint of doubt flashed in Gu Xing's eyes. "When did you get injured? How come I didn't know?"
Upon hearing this, young Payne's lips curled into a smile. "So she does care about him and notice him."
"No, it turns out it was to heal her wounds."
"But it's just a little red on my wrist, is it really that big of a deal?" At this moment, Gu Xing was utterly speechless.
“I’ll be more careful in the future.” Young Payne’s words left her even more speechless.
"Are you this good to all your subordinates?" Gu Xing looked at him strangely.
“Only you are an exception.” Young Payne blurted out without thinking.
"What?" Her expression froze for a moment, then she pulled her hands back, crossed her arms over her chest, and said with disbelief, "You...you...you...you wouldn't have taken a liking to me, would you? Let me tell you, I...I will not give in."
"Besides, I'm a man, so just give up on that idea!"
Young Payne looked at her with a dark expression. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
"Come over and sit down properly," he said calmly, his expression returning to normal.
Lone Star looked at him with suspicion, his face full of distrust.
"Good boy!!!" he said again.
A wise person knows when to yield. Lone Star sat obediently with her head down, but in her heart she was thinking about how to leave the Akatsuki organization. She didn't want to get herself involved.
She has already learned a lot of ninjutsu in the Akatsuki organization, which is enough.
As for Nagato, she can return to seek revenge after she advances to the Golden Core stage; there's really no need for her to stay in the Akatsuki organization any longer.
Young Payne restored her hand to its original whiteness, glanced at her, and said, "Speak your mind."
Lone Star blinked. "Was she that obvious?"
Since he said that, why should she hide it? She should just ask directly.
Lone Star spoke in a pleading tone, "Leader, can I buy a spot to leave Akatsuki with money?"
Young Payne narrowed his eyes instantly, staring at her, suppressing his anger. "Say that again!"
"Is this person deaf? They couldn't hear me even though they were so close."
She coughed lightly, then raised her voice slightly, "I said, could I buy my way out of the Akatsuki organization...?"
Before Lone Star could finish speaking, her small mouth was sealed by a pair of cold, thin lips.
She stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief, then quickly realized what was happening and struggled.
Young Payne initially intended to temporarily shut those disobedient little mouths, but the sweet taste made him want more, and he unconsciously wanted more.
"Damn Nagato! He just said he wasn't interested in her, but it hasn't been long before he's shown his true colors again."
She didn't want to be close to the corpse at all, even though the Payne in front of her was handsome, the thought of it was terrifying.
Lonely Star wanted to speak to him to calm him down, but her words were swallowed up... "Forget it... just consider it as being bitten by a dog," but she was still very unhappy.
After a long pause, the young Pain finally released her. "Still thinking about leaving Akatsuki?"
Lone Star turned her face away without even glancing at him. Young Payne turned her face back to look at him, and seeing her slightly swollen lips from his kisses, he couldn't help but kiss her again.
"Damn it, not again... Do you even remember what you just said?"
Lone Star was incredibly frustrated at this moment. If looks could kill, this body of Pain would have died countless times.
After some time, the young Payne finally released the man, his face slightly flushed. He remembered what he had just said, and realized that he had been proven wrong so quickly.
"You should rest well and don't think about leaving the organization." He left the room after saying that, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control again.
