Chapter 307 The Warning of Death
To avoid alerting the enemy, Pain led Obito Uchiha into the forest for the battle.
The Six Paths of Pain can use the visual sharing of the Rinnegan to dodge attacks. Even if Obito Uchiha destroys one of them, the Hell Path of the Six Paths can immediately revive it.
Therefore, Obito Uchiha caused them almost no real damage, and they couldn't harm Obito Uchiha who possessed Kamui.
The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.
No, he promised Haruko he would protect Konoha!
Obito Uchiha roared and charged forward again.
Then, during their confrontation, Obito Uchiha noticed that all of them suddenly stopped moving.
What happened?
Obito Uchiha used Kamui Dimension to sever the bodies of two more Pains once more, then landed on the ground with a furrowed brow.
Something's not right with them.
Konan and Payne, who were usually expressionless, looked completely stunned, as if they had suddenly received some news.
Remembering that Obito Uchiha was still blocking their way, Konan and one of the other Pains took advantage of the other Pains holding him back and quickly ran into the depths of the forest.
What exactly had they received? A sense of unease crept into Obito Uchiha's heart.
Konan rushed to Yahiko's location at almost top speed.
Yahiko only told them to come as soon as possible, but that alone was enough to make Konan and Nagato uneasy.
Turning into a dense forest, Konan and Payne saw Yahiko standing still, and a second person with his back to them—a girl with long black hair.
"Yahiko, what happened?" Konan walked a few steps to Yahiko's side.
When Konan and Nagato, who shared Pain's vision, saw the girl's face clearly, they were both taken aback.
“Haru…” Konan’s lips trembled as she said incredulously, “Haruko… Sister?!”
It's unbelievable that the deceased sister has come back to life and is standing in front of them!
However, it seems that only Konan and Nagato, who arrived later, were immersed in joy.
Yahiko remained silent, while Haruko Hayama across from him wore a serious expression.
The subtle atmosphere was noticed even by Nagato, who was far away at the base. He manipulated Payne to walk towards Haruko Hayama.
"Haruko-neechan, are you really Haruko-neechan?"
Haruko nodded. "Just stand there."
Unlike the bland words he remembered, which made Payne stop in his tracks.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he turned to look at the equally astonished Konan and the silent Yahiko with a sense of helplessness.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Yahiko slowly raised his hand, signaling Nagato to come back. "I'm sorry, Haruko-neechan, we can't stop."
Stop? Konan and Nagato immediately understood what he meant.
After all, Haruko is a ninja of Konoha, so she would naturally protect Konoha. The fact that she came to see them alone at this moment was because she wanted them to stop.
Despite facing their sister with whom they once felt guilty, their lifelong goal of a peaceful world is about to be achieved.
Konan and Payne stood on either side of Yahiko, remaining silent.
Rejected once again, Haruko felt a sadness she had expected, but she tried her best to maintain a resolute appearance.
"There is no true reconciliation or peace between people. Everyone wants to achieve it, but it is impossible for everyone to reach a complete consensus."
"Didn't those who tried to kill you and me want peace? The peace they hoped for was a castle in the air built on the lives of you and me!"
"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, I don't want to see you make one mistake after another!"
Haruko Hayama's death was an indelible scar deep in the hearts of each of them.
But now, Haruko Hayama, who brought up this matter, has exposed their bloody and pathetic state to the light of day.
Yahiko's hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, were clenched so tightly that blood seeped through them.
His teeth clenched so tightly that the tearing tremor within him tormented him to the very marrow of his bones.
After that, the despair that had accumulated over the years gradually filled his mind: the unbridled killing of great powers, the greedy faces of those in high positions, the arrogant cruelty of the strong...
The hellish world they personally experienced was one of unbearable suffering amidst a rain of blood.
The sharp pain in his palm calmed Yahiko down, and he resolutely raised his eyes.
"Soon... we will usher in true peace. We are different from those people. We are a force led by justice, and we will bring world peace!"
His impassioned narration was mixed with a trace of grief that he himself was unaware of.
There's no going back now.
"Wait, Yahiko!" Minami's terrified voice rang out, "Look at Haruko-neechan's hand!"
As if history were repeating itself, Yahiko's pupils constricted in shock. He saw an abnormal white light emanating from the backs of Haruko's hands, which then began to flutter and scatter in pieces.
They were all too familiar with this scene.
Payne ran towards her in a panic, "Haruko-neechan!"
"Stop!" Haruko Hayama called out to him.
Her life had truly come to an end; no matter how many times she took a deep breath, she could not relieve the tightness that was wrapped around her neck.
Death was not a first experience for her.
But she will not be resurrected after this; it is the true death of Haruko Hayama.
"I left a message before I left, and Konoha should be ready to fight now."
Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, but they also made her stubborn black pupils bright and clear.
The white light cracks on the back of her hand spread up her arm, and even her cheeks were pierced by the white light.
The sight of Yahiko and the other two was terrifying.
Xiao Nan hurriedly shouted, "Forget about that! We absolutely cannot watch Haruko die again!"
Nagato's anxious and fearful voice rang out: "Yahiko!"
In the same situation, with the same helplessness, Yahiko realized that he was no longer the person he used to be when he found himself struggling with his own thoughts.
One thing is clear: they absolutely cannot accept Haruko Hayama's death!
As soon as Yahiko rushed out, Konan and Pain followed closely behind and rushed to Haruko Hayama.
After reaching out to catch her limp body, Yahiko felt as if he were frozen in place, his mind blank.
It's so light, so light that you can only feel its weight.
Slowly, the little weight left also disappeared.
"Haruko-neechan, hang in there! Hang in there!" Yahiko cried out, his voice choked with tears.
Almost Haruko's entire body was covered in white light, her legs were scattered and only fragments remained, and the speed at which her figure disappeared was still accelerating.
Haruko tremblingly raised her right hand and tightly grasped the black robe on Yahiko's chest.
"If I cannot persuade you, then I will use my death to warn you..."
"This time... you will watch me die, you will remember my death forever, and you must remember my death every time you kill the next person in your so-called peace!"
"You must always remember... I represent every life that has been forcibly sacrificed on your so-called path to peace!"
Every word is written in blood, every sentence is piercing to the heart!
The death they feared most was ultimately reopened because of them, reopening the wounds buried deep in their hearts.
"Haruko-neechan!!!"
Their shouts were gradually replaced by a buzzing sound.
Haruko turned her eyes slightly in the morning, looking at the birds gliding across the azure sky.
I'm sorry, Obito... I still couldn't bear to tell you...
My death has value... right...?
In the end, all she could do was wish that the birds that had soared high in the changing course of their destinies would find complete happiness and freedom.
