Chapter 232: Future Leaders of the Akatsuki asked to take on disciples
"Uh..."
Nawaki was stunned.
Minato was equally baffled.
What's going on?
Even Xin was a bit taken aback:
"You want to become my disciples?"
"As long as you're willing, I'll become your disciple," Yahiko replied firmly.
"Why do you want to become my disciple?" Xin asked, laughing despite himself. "Honestly, I'm still a kid too-only about three years older than you.
Don't you think that's a bit childish?
Aren't you worried I might be a fraud?"
"I trust my instincts. I believe you're incredibly strong, sir."
Yahiko's actions not only shocked Xin, Nawaki, and Minato but also startled Konan and Nagato.
Why did he suddenly want to become a disciple?
There wasn't even time to mentally prepare for this.
"Your instincts are strong," Xin replied after regaining his composure. Nawaki started
laughing and ran outside, giving Yahiko an encouraging look as he went.
Good luck. The guy you're looking at, who even disdains Hanzō, is indeed very strong.
Nawaki ran because he was afraid Xin would hit him.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing and even teased Yahiko a bit.
Just you wait!
Xin grabbed a stone from the ground and hurled it at Nawaki. Nawaki dodged with a smug twist of his waist and even wiggled his hips as if to say, You can't hit me!
Minato shook his head with a smile, gesturing to Xin that he should take his leave for now.
He thought it best to set up some traps outside to prevent any enemies from approaching.
He never thought he experience something like this!
Xin had assumed this kind of situation would come much later, but here he was, already being asked to take on disciples.
And not just any disciples-the future leaders of the Akatsuki.
Nawaki and Minato's reactions only made Yahiko more convinced that his instincts were correct. Despite Xin's young age, only slightly older than them, he was definitely a strong shinobi.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so dismissively of Hanzō.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request."
"Why not?" Yahiko asked, clearly disappointed.
Xin's expression was serious as he replied.
"I'm not really interested in taking on disciples or teaching them. Besides, I've seen too many instances where disciples end up killing their masters.
So forget about becoming my apprentice. Besides, I don't have the time to stay in the Land of Rain and train you."
Yahiko felt a deep sense of disappointment at being rejected, so much so that he barely registered the rest of what Xin said.
Konan looked at Xin in confusion, not fully understanding what "killing the master" meant.
Does it mean the disciple kills the teacher? she wondered.
"I can only teach you how to refine chakra and show you some basic ninjutsu techniques. How far you go after that depends entirely on you."
