On the contrary, Kiyoshi remained polite throughout, which surprised Konan.

As Kiyoshi said, he did not force himself.

Because if she didn't go to Kiyoshi to make a request, there would be no way to talk about compensation or anything like that.

Ultimately, it's because she's too weak.

The weak, when they ask the strong for help, will naturally have to pay these prices.

Kiyoshi did adhere to the rules of the strong, refraining from arbitrarily using force to trample on the weak, and instead using a transactional approach.

Therefore, Konan harbors resentment towards Kiyoshi, but it is not intense.

It also contains complex emotions such as gratitude.

"No, you don't."

Nagato's tone became somewhat agitated.

How could a woman as angelic as Xiao Nan possibly know the dangers of Qing Si?

Madara Uchiha told him many secrets about Kiyoshi. According to Madara, Kiyoshi was an extremely ambitious ninja.

He deceived the entire village of Konoha.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi is rumored to have had close relationships with many women, making him a naturally evil Uchiha.

Nagato believed what Madara Uchiha said. The color of chakra, while not absolute, can largely represent a person's personality.

Nagato was deeply impressed by that ominous chakra.

And that arrogant attitude was exactly like that of the high-ranking ninjas of great nations!

Nagato only wanted to keep Konan away from Kiyoshi, so that Kiyoshi wouldn't do anything to her.

"I know."

Xiao Nan said again in a low voice.

She still has pain in her mouth, making it difficult for her to even drink porridge.

Can Nagato's understanding be as profound as hers?

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Nagato paused, stunned.

He noticed some marks on Xiao Nan's robe.

Nagato's Rinnegan possesses immense ocular power, which also gives him extraordinary insight.

He can easily observe details that are difficult for ordinary people to notice.

"Xiao Nan, your body..."

Nagato's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to ask what it was.

squeak……

The half-open door was pushed open, making a scraping sound.

"Nagato, you're in good spirits."

Kiyoshi put on a white coat, covering the Uchiha clan crest, and with that air about him, he looked like a hospital director coming in to question a patient.

"Humph."

Nagato glared at Kiyoshi with annoyance.

Kiyoshi Uchiha knew better than anyone how badly he was injured.

That was Kiyoshi Uchiha who did it!

"How long will it take for Nagato's injuries to heal?"

When Konan saw Kiyoshi enter, an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

But for Nagato's health, she took the initiative to ask about the situation.

"Rest quietly for a few days, and avoid strenuous combat during this time."

Kiyoshi said.

Some abilities of the "Rinnegan" can drain the user's life force; "Super Shinra Tensei" is a typical example.

In particular, Nagato had summoned the "Gedo Mazo" multiple times before, which had already made his body extremely weak.

In addition, due to his battle with Kiyoshi and excessive use of the Rinnegan's abilities, his chakra had long been exhausted to the limit.

These injuries are not something that can be healed easily; they will permanently damage a ninja's physical limits.

Just like the battle between Hashirama and Madara, he died a few years later.

The reason Madara was able to live for so long was simply because he kept using the "Gedo Mazo" to supply chakra and keep himself alive.

Without the chakra supply, Madara probably wouldn't have lived that long; he would have died before even seeing Obito.

"And the condition of my legs is worse than before; I'll have to rely on a wheelchair from now on."

Kiyoshi glanced at Nagato.

If he were to focus entirely on healing Nagato, he could heal most of Nagato's injuries.

But what benefit would he gain from this?

"Start the surgery now."

Kiyoshi took out the anesthetic.

"I don't need anesthesia."

Nagato said.

"up to you."

Seeing this, Kiyoshi put down the anesthetic, took out a scalpel, and coated it with a layer of "Wind" Release chakra.

He cut open Nagato's legs and removed some broken bones.

Nagato's pale face grew even paler from the pain, as if it had been coated with a layer of white putty.

Xiao Nan couldn't bear it and turned her head away.

Twenty minutes later, Kiyoshi's surgery was completed, and bandaging began.

A pale green light appeared in his palm, healing some of Nagato's other injuries.

About half an hour later, Kiyoshi looked at Nagato, who was covered in white bandages.

"It's over. Don't get it wet for the next few days."

Kiyoshi put all the tools into a small box.

"You don't need to say more."

Nagato grimaced in pain; he didn't even want to think about how much it would hurt if his wound got wet.

"Thank you... for your hard work."

Xiao Nan made a polite remark.

Thinking to myself that Kiyoshi would leave after today, I realized that Kiyoshi would be gone.

Both sides were relieved to learn that the only transaction would be involving ninja tools.

"It's a bit tiring, Miss Xiaonan, could you please get me a glass of water?"

After saying that, Kiyoshi picked up the small box and walked towards the balcony.

Here in the long gate is a large room. There are not just one bed, but ten in a row, in two rows, with each bed spaced more than a meter apart.

However, due to Nagato's special status, he was the only one there.

Konan was taken aback by Kiyoshi's words, thinking to herself that Uchiha Kiyoshi was indeed not a polite person.

She turned around and went out to get water.

A short while later, Xiao Nan came in from outside, passed Nagato's bed, and went to the direction of the balcony outside.

The balcony is separated by curtains and glass, keeping the rain out.

Although it's called a balcony, it was actually renovated to accommodate drainage pipes.

"Nagato must be asleep."

Qing Si casually remarked.

Having just undergone surgery, Nagato's body is at its limit and he will uncontrollably fall into a deep sleep.

"Seems to be."

Xiao Nan nodded.

The water dispenser outside was broken, and she had to take a long detour to find another one.

It took more than twenty minutes to go back and forth.

"Kiyoshi-kun, when are you planning to return to Konoha? I can send someone to escort you."

After handing water to Kiyoshi, Konan subtly signaled for him to leave.

"Let's leave tomorrow, there's no rush."

Kiyoshi said.

He wanted to go back; he could be back in less than a second.

"How's the intelligence you gathered coming along?"

"These."

Konan took out a scroll and gave it to Kiyoshi.

I had planned to give it to Kiyoshi when I left, but Kiyoshi asked about it at this time, so it was a good opportunity to give it to him.

"Indeed, there are some promising talents among them."

Kiyoshi glanced at the simple information above.

It must be said that the Akatsuki organization acted very quickly, and coupled with the special environment of the Land of Rain, orphans were plentiful.

Many of these problems are legacy issues that the current Akatsuki organization cannot completely resolve.

Kiyoshi put the scroll away; these orphans were temporarily under the management of the Akatsuki organization.

He planned to have Honglian take all the orphans to Yakushi Nonou's orphanage after a while, along with the corresponding funds.

With more people, there will always be a few extraordinary geniuses.

These orphans, on the contrary, tend to work harder than children raised in normal environments.

No one wants to go back to the days of irregular meals, and no one wants to be unable to sleep because of the cold.

"I'll arrange for someone to take Kiyoshi-kun to dinner."

Seeing that Kiyoshi had put the scroll away, Konan couldn't help but speak up.

Kiyoshi, however, kept his gaze fixed on Konan.

rice?

He has already eaten at Mikoto's house.

"Miss Konan, there are some parts of yesterday's 'Paper' Release ninjutsu that I don't understand. Could you please explain them to me?"

Kiyoshi slowly approached Konan, cornering her against the wall.

explain?

Is it the same kind as last night?

where?

Is it right here?

Konan's eyes widened; she could even see Nagato sleeping soundly behind her through the reflection in the glass.
