Chapter 345: The Great Battle in the Land of Rain
"The intelligence is very accurate."
At night, atop a mountain peak, Yahiko observed the large group of wandering ninja slowly closing in on the base camp of the remnants of the Land of Rain. His excitement was barely concealed in his words. After so many days of waiting, the opportunity had finally arrived.
"This is also thanks to their loose organization," Nonō added.
"Wandering ninja are always just wandering ninja," Nonō said, her tone far from pleased. In a proper ninja village, such confidential combat deployments would never have been so easily exposed.
"Anyway, this is all thanks to you." Yahiko kept a close eye on the wandering ninja's every move, his focus unwavering.
"Since this is such a big achievement, what are you going to reward us with?" Konan asked casually, twirling a paper flower in her hands. She was the most carefree of the group.
As the leader, Yahiko had the final say, and no one questioned him. The only one who might have objected, Kakuzu, simply kept his thoughts to himself.
"What do you think about me giving Nagato the prize?" Yahiko turned to Nagato with a mischievous grin.
"I'm all for it," Konan chimed in immediately, living up to her role as the group's number one troublemaker.
"Have you even asked me if I want it?" Nagato muttered, rolling his eyes in annoyance. This hardly felt like the time for jokes.
"What, are you unhappy about it?" Nonō's face darkened at the comment. If Nagato dared to say he wasn't happy, he might face her wrath.
