In this moment, the peculiarities surrounding Nagato naturally entered Asahi's perception.
"Can I start using the Rinnegan now?" silently pondered Asahi.
In the original story, Nagato only fully awakened the ability of the Rinnegan after Yahiko's death.
However, now, due to practicing Senjutsu, even though it's just a lower version, it significantly enhanced Nagato's physical endurance. This advancement allowed him to start using the Rinnegan several years ahead of schedule.
Moreover, if in the future Nagato doesn't abuse the Rinnegan recklessly, with a bit of caution and relying on Senjutsu and the Uzumaki clan's strong constitution, he can completely disregard the side effects of the Rinnegan.
However, even though Nagato can now begin using the Rinnegan, this is not the time for Asahi to be thinking about these things.
In just an instant, Asahi vanished from his original position.
In the next moment, Asahi appeared between Konan and Tei.
Seeing Asahi suddenly appear, Tei's pupils contracted sharply.
Yes, Asahi had long known that Tei hadn't died; he was just lying on the ground pretending to be dead. Even his little schemes, Asahi had figured out.
But he didn't warn the Three Amigos; his aim was to teach them a lesson.
The next moment, Asahi's hands directly grabbed Tei's fist.
Tei's exploding punch didn't have the devastating effect he imagined; it didn't make Asahi explode violently.
After injecting chakra into Asahi's body, the chakra, like a stone thrown into the sea, caused no ripples whatsoever.
This is definitely not something a Jonin can achieve, not even an elite Jonin! Asahi has undoubtedly successfully broken through the Jonin level and reached the level of the Kage.
Boom!
It wasn't Asahi exploding in place as one might imagine; instead, Asahi forcefully pressed Tei into the ground.
Puff~
A mouthful of blood sprayed out; the already extremely weak Tei seemed on the verge of death.
As if experiencing a brief resurgence, Tei actually lifted his head.
Looking at Asahi, Tei struggled to speak:
"You said you wouldn't interfere, and you... you... cough... you are at the level of the Kage..."
Before he could finish his words, Tei completely closed his eyes, and his lifted head slammed violently onto the ground.
Now, he is truly dead!
"Yeah, I broke my promise. But how could I just watch my disciple lose his life?"
"But I must thank you. Thanks for giving my disciple the final lesson with your life."
"As for my level, yes, just as you thought, I've already reached the level of a Kage."
Watching Tei, who had fallen to the ground, his soul having ascended to the pure land, Asahi silently answered his final question.
Hearing the rumble, Konan, who had closed her eyes in fear, didn't feel the pain she expected.
Gently opening her tightly closed eyes, Konan was pleasantly surprised to see her master right in front of her.
And Tei, who had threatened her with death, was now deeply embedded in the earth, lifeless.
"Master!"
Konan joyfully shouted, and at a distance, Yahiko and Nagato, seeing Konan unharmed, seemed to have had all the strength drained from their bodies, slumping to the ground.
Asahi turned around, his face not showing the concern Konan imagined, but rather a stern expression.
This instantly made Konan, who was initially joyful, feel uneasy.
She knew she had made a mistake at the critical moment. Did her master feel disappointed?
Staring at Konan for a moment, Asahi naturally sensed Konan's unease.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Asahi's face. "Did I scare you?"
Konan quickly shook her head, but she immediately thought of her behavior of tightly closing her eyes just now, and her face turned red as she nodded.
"Overall, you did well, but you made a fatal mistake, you know!"
In the first half of the sentence, Asahi was praising Konan, but the tone took a sharp turn in the second half, becoming stern.
Feeling a bit ashamed, Konan lowered her head. "Master, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so careless at the end."
Asahi looked at Konan helplessly, not wanting to be too harsh in educating her.
"Knowing is good. Remember, caution is the most essential quality a ninja must possess."
"Until things are completely certain, always maintain a hint of doubt. Never lose your life because of carelessness."
Listening to Asahi's advice, Konan quickly raised her hands, pledging, "Master, I understand. I promise there won't be a next time."
"Good." Asahi nodded, then turned to the slowly approaching Yahiko and Nagato, wanting to avoid the lecturing from Nagato and Yahiko:
"And you two, what are you dawdling for? Konan's mistake is something I wanted to tell you too. I know you have kind hearts. But even if you have a kind heart, in the ninja world, you must maintain enough caution, understand!"
In the moment Asahi spoke, Yahiko and Nagato instantly stood upright."Yes, Master! We understand!"
After saying that, the two hurriedly ran to Konan's side, conducting various checks, afraid that Konan might be injured.
After a thorough examination, Yahiko and Nagato confirmed that Konan was unharmed.
Yahiko quickly ran to Tei's side, who had already died. Thinking that he had almost killed Konan just now, Yahiko couldn't summon any sympathy for Tei.
With an annoyed glance at Tei, Yahiko was about to complain a bit when Asahi stopped him with a sentence, "The deceased should be respected."
Casually taking out a scroll, Asahi sealed Tei's body, preparing to claim the bounty. This matter could be considered concluded.
However, at this moment, Konan also recalled the deceased Tei. Thinking that she was essentially the one who killed him and remembering the gruesome sight of Tei's death just now, Konan couldn't help but dry heave.
Yahiko and Nagato exchanged glances as they watched her.
They had seen dead people before, but Yahiko and Nagato, who hadn't personally intervened, couldn't understand why Konan reacted so intensely.
Asahi walked to Konan's side, gently patting her back and consoling her, "Think about it, by taking him out, you saved many innocent lives. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
"Yeah, Konan. This guy was so evil, that he even attacked his comrades. Look at it positively."
Yahiko also stood by Konan's side, comforting her in his usual laid-back manner.
Nagato silently watched Konan. Although he didn't speak, it was evident that he agreed with Yahiko's perspective.
Konan's face was very pale at this moment, but she didn't want to worry everyone. Wiping the corner of her mouth, she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing Konan's pale face, Yahiko and Nagato clearly didn't believe Konan's words.
However, they didn't know what to say, so they awkwardly looked at Konan.
Straightening up, Konan insisted, "Master, let's quickly track the next target."
Seeing Konan, who looked like she could collapse at any moment, Asahi naturally couldn't agree to her request.
Shaking his head, he said, "No need. We still have plenty of time. Let's go back to the small cabin and rest for a while. Alright, let's head back."
After saying that, Asahi gave Yahiko and Nagato a deep look, then turned and walked slowly towards the distance.
My dear disciples, it seems you still need more experience! Without going through hardships, you'll never adapt!
The Three Disciples exchanged glances and didn't say much. Yahiko and Nagato supported Konan and quickly followed.
