Upon hearing this, before Nagato could speak, everyone behind him burst into laughter:
"Leader Konan, how is that possible? Those small fries just now couldn't even defeat us, let alone harm Leader Nagato."
"Haha, exactly."
They knew how strong Nagato and the others were. Not exaggerating, if it weren't for Hanzo suppressing the Land of Rain for so many years, they all felt that the three of them might be able to defeat Hanzo.
However, Nagato seemed to ignore their words and gazed into the distance.
Turning his head to Yahiko and Konan, Nagato spoke with an uneasy tone:
"Yahiko, Konan, the formation at our home has been triggered."
Huh?
At these words, both of them showed a reaction. There was tension and anticipation in their expressions. But in the end, anticipation prevailed.
"Nagato, do you think it's Master who's back?"
Nagato shook his head. Although he had made considerable progress in strength, he couldn't remotely sense who triggered the formation.
"I'm not sure, I can only sense that the formation has been triggered."
"We can't wait! Regardless, we need to hurry back and check!"
Yahiko clenched his fist and said with determination.
The small wooden house was their most cherished place, holding countless memories.
Although they didn't know if it was Asahi who returned, they all had to go back as quickly as possible.
If it was Asahi, then it would be a joyous occasion for everyone.
If not, well, you better hope the small wooden house is fine; otherwise, don't blame us for not being gentle.
"Yeah!"
Konan and Yahiko nodded solemnly. After speaking, the three turned to their companions and said:
"We have urgent matters to attend to. Everyone, please head back to the base on your own. If there's anything, we'll rely on you."
"Don't worry, leaders. You go ahead!"
"Yeah."
Without hesitation, the three directly broke away from the group and swiftly ran towards the distance.
Fortunately, the small wooden house wasn't far from here. With their speed, they should be able to arrive within half an hour.
"The leaders are really strong; their speed is even faster than ours."
"Yeah, and from their conversation, it seems like their master is back."
"The leaders are already this powerful. I wonder how strong their master really is."
"I think he should be on par with Lord Hanzo."
"Nonsense! Anyone who can teach disciples as strong as the leaders must be stronger than Lord Hanzo. Have you ever seen Lord Hanzo with disciples as powerful as our leaders?"
"Yeah, you're right."
Watching the three quickly disappear from sight, the group began discussing animatedly.
"Uh, should we buy some ninja tools?"
Suddenly, a voice of confusion emerged from the crowd.
"Yeah, why ask? When did we ever finish a mission without buying ninja tools?"
"But our money seems to be with the leaders~"
"Leaders!!! Wait!!! Leave some money!"
.....
At this moment, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan naturally couldn't be bothered with such things.
Their subordinates not having money to buy ninja tools was a minor issue compared to their master and the small wooden house.
During this not-so-long journey, the three of them remained silent, giving their all to rush forward.
The half-hour journey was forcefully shortened by one-third for them.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, the three of them felt a myriad of emotions. This place held their most beautiful memories!
The last time they came back was a month ago when Nagato successfully achieved Sage Mode, returning to upgrade the sealing formation.
Entering the sealing formation with a nervous heart, as soon as they stepped inside, the excitement in their hearts surged.
For one reason—the smell of familiar delicious food reached their noses.
This aroma was something they almost smelled every day during those three years.
Almost instantly, the three of them were sure: Asahi had definitely returned.
.....
Inside the house, Asahi was sitting by the cauldron, waiting for the final dish to be ready.
Fortunately, the kitchenware in the small wooden house wasn't taken away by Yahiko and the others. Otherwise, Asahi, with ingredients in hand, would probably have had to settle for barbecuing.
Shisui looked at the table full of dishes, and his mouth couldn't help but salivate.
It's not his fault; the food was just too enticing.
Living alone since childhood, he had never experienced such a feast.
"These three guys came back right on time," Asahi chuckled and muttered to himself.
Because Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan didn't conceal their chakra, Asahi easily sensed them as soon as they arrived.
Still staring eagerly at the table full of delicious food, Shisui, upon hearing Asahi's words, hadn't even had a chance to ask when the door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open.
"Master, you're back!"
Yahiko took the lead and rushed straight into the house, startling Shisui.
Konan and Nagato weren't about to be left behind. In the next moment, they also ran in.
As soon as they entered, the three of them saw Shisui staring at them eagerly.
Yahiko's face stiffened a bit. He turned to Konan and Nagato and asked, "Uh, this can't be Master's child, right? It's only been a year, and they've grown this much?"
As the words fell, a ladle instantly flew out from the kitchen and hit Yahiko square on the forehead.
Konan and Nagato looked at Yahiko with some speechlessness. Why did it feel like Yahiko would become less intelligent in front of their Master?
Ignoring whether there was a Master's wife-like creature or not, even if there was, a child wouldn't come so quickly!
The joyful reunion just now was abruptly ruined by Yahiko.
"Ah!"
With Yahiko's miserable cry, the three of them seemed to be transported back to the old days.
"Senior Yahiko, Senior Nagato, Senior Konan, hello, I'm Uchiha Shisui, the disciple Master recently accepted."
Although Yahiko was a bit eccentric, Shisui still stood up and respectfully greeted the three.
Looking at Shisui, the three of them strangely felt a sense of nostalgia.
"Shisui, Hello!"
The three of them greeted Shisui with cheerful smiles.
After exchanging greetings, Konan was about to go to the kitchen to help Asahi when she saw him coming out with a cauldron.
As soon as Asahi came out, Yahiko, who had been acting strange earlier, instinctively covered his head, as if the place where he was hit by the ladle was still hurting.
Asahi looked at him speechlessly, then was immediately drawn to the attire of the three.
The clothes they were wearing were the common long coats seen throughout the ninja world. However, the style of these coats was incredibly familiar to Asahi.
Black with red clouds—it was the uniform of the Akatsuki organization.
So, after parting ways, they still managed to establish the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain.
