Yuyin Village.
Inside a secret base.
Nagato and Konan were not unaware of the series of changes in the ninja world. Not to mention the intelligence expert Black Zetsu, the more important thing was that the changes in Sunagakure were so significant that they could not be kept secret.
"A sudden change occurred in Sunagakure: the Fourth Hokage died, and a Fifth Hokage appeared..."
"This change is so strange."
This was very strange for Nagato.
The Akatsuki organization has not been idle during this period; on the contrary, it has continued to work hard to develop, and it has already achieved results. After Kakuzu recovered in May and June, he continued to participate in activities.
Hidan has joined, and Hiruko has gone to Kirigakure to work with Madara Uchiha. Although Nagato was somewhat dissatisfied, he was persuaded by Obito Uchiha, who was disguised as Madara Uchiha.
Of course, persuasion is one thing, but to say there wasn't a shred of doubt?
That's impossible; he now seriously doubts it.
The organization's membership has grown rapidly.
Although the loss of a member, Sasori of the Red Sand, is a major blow to the organization, the problem is that while someone is dead, a new member has joined.
Therefore, even if Nagato was dissatisfied, he wouldn't dwell on it too much, but the matter of Sunagakure still made him unhappy...
Because this is very likely Konoha's doing, and White Zetsu's information network is still excellent; according to Zetsu, Konoha has been involved.
Chapter 328 I am the leader!
Evidence is not important.
The important thing is whether it can be done.
Konoha happens to have the ability to do just that.
This caused Nagato extreme panic. Would Amegakure become a target? This was something he couldn't accept, and he couldn't calmly accept all of this.
"If Amegakure becomes our target, it will be a problem for us. Right now, we are still in the process of building up our strength, and everything is not yet ready. I'm afraid we can't become the target so quickly."
Konan understood this, and was therefore very worried, knowing that if the situation wasn't handled well, Amegakure might become Konoha's next target.
"How about we contact Madara Uchiha?"
She thought she could contact Madara Uchiha in Kirigakure, since he was causing trouble there. So far, it seemed to be having limited effect; at least Kirigakure hadn't made any moves.
Compared to Sunagakure, Konoha is much faster at doing things.
And what did you do in Kirigakure?
Is this what Madara Uchiha is like?
"Let's get in touch and talk."
Nagato hesitated for a moment, then decided that he had to make contact. He needed to have a proper talk; the current situation was truly unpredictable and required further discussion.
In addition, we also need to understand the progress on the other side. We already had some understanding before, but now we need to understand it further. Don't tell me that there has been no progress at all.
"You believe them now?"
However, Nagato was puzzled. It seemed that Konan had changed her opinion about Black Zetsu and his group, which was quite strange. What was going on?
Was it because of the things that were sent before?
Nagato's legs have been repaired, and Black Zetsu definitely has something, so Konan changed her attitude? But that doesn't make sense; didn't she say to stay vigilant?
Although her legs have recovered, Xiao Nan believes that some parts of her hands and feet must have been involved, so she cannot be careless.
"No, I don't believe it, but your legs have indeed recovered. We can maintain our cooperation for now; we can't afford to fall out now, can we?"
Konan only wanted to protect Amegakure's small territory. She didn't have any grand ambitions, nor did she care about things like peace. She just followed Yahiko and Nagato's wishes.
With Yahiko gone, all we'll do is listen to Nagato, nothing more.
"I know, I'm sorry." Nagato remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh and speaking. He knew the deeper meaning behind Konan's words.
Therefore, he felt very sorry for Xiao Nan, because his ideals forced her to get involved, and there were some things she probably didn't want to do.
"There's no need for apologies. We all know that Zetsu and that Uchiha Madara are no good. They gave you their so-called technical repairs..."
"To be honest, I suspect that something was tampered with."
Xiao Nan frankly admitted that she had her doubts, but judging from the current situation, everything was fine on your end, which meant that things were alright for the time being.
But this might be something they had no choice but to do, because they really had no power left, and the power of the Rinnegan was something they craved and had no choice but to rely on...
This is the truth!
If your legs were not functioning properly, it would have been a significant problem. Now that your legs have recovered, you no longer need to use the Pain name. However, I do not object to you allowing Pain to continue to exist.
As you said, there will only ever be one leader of Akatsuki, and that is Yahiko.
I support it, I fully support it.
Xiao Nan had no objections.
"There are definitely limbs, but it doesn't matter." Nagato took a deep breath. He knew very well that his limbs were definitely there, but it was also a fact that he had recovered now.
To be honest, since I started having problems with my legs, my mindset has been significantly affected, which in turn has impacted my physical and mental health...
This is really bad.
But now things are different. Everything has recovered, and our mental outlook is completely different. We are more energetic and confident, which is very important.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing this, Xiao Nan asked in a low voice.
Since there's been no response yet, let's take this opportunity to ask them properly.
"We need more. Zetsu must still have more technology. That Hiruko is no simple man. But he's a member of Akatsuki now, so he should contribute something, both morally and logically."
Nagato believes this might be related to that Hiruko; it seems that so-called technology is very important, this so-called science...
Honestly, it's really not simple.
"I feel like this is a bit risky," Xiao Nan said in a low voice upon hearing this.
She doesn't oppose the current cooperation, but she opposes believing in the so-called technology that Black Zetsu has. Who knows what problems might arise?
If any problems arise, you won't be able to retaliate because we don't have the technology, nor do we understand it... well, this kind of technology...
If you can't figure it out, there's danger.
“Hiruko, that guy definitely knows,” Nagato said to himself.
That rascal?
The problem is that he ended up associating with Madara Uchiha.
Judging from their attitude, they probably don't want to be used by us!
Xiao Nan knew this guy's abilities; he certainly had the so-called skills. Could someone who could create that forbidden technique—the Ghost Sprout Technique—be an ordinary person?
However, the fact that he's allied with Madara Uchiha makes things complicated.
"It's alright, I am the leader." Nagato said calmly, his expression full of confidence.
Xiao Nan: "..."
so what?
Nagato, he belongs to someone else.
To be honest, Hiruko is not someone you can trust.
Why? Because he was a rogue ninja from Konoha, and Madara Uchiha was also a rogue ninja from Konoha. People from the same village would naturally stick together, without exception.
"Nagato, they are rogue ninja from 987 villages, all from Konoha," Konan emphasized, hoping Nagato could be more rational.
"you're right."
Nagato pondered for a moment before speaking again, "Then we really need talent in this area. I've heard that Iwagakure and Sunagakure have colluded to research some secret weapon, and Kumogakure has been working on it for a long time..."
"Could it be that Konoha found out this time, and thus took precautions in advance?"
Doubt was inevitable; Nagato had no choice but to have doubts.
Konan responded, "Konoha is probably stronger in this regard. They have Orochimaru, not to mention the scientific research master of the ninja world... the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!"
Konoha's foundation is unmatched by any other ninja village, so why would they be afraid?
Of course, Konoha was definitely involved in the Sunagakure incident.
Or rather, it was a strategy devised by Konoha...
Is it because Sunagakure and Iwagakure have colluded?
The specifics are unclear, there's no evidence, yet they just took action. Konoha is really different now. Is this the Konoha under Uchiha Hakubaku's rule?
“We need to find out what these villages are secretly researching, and we also need to research... Hiruko has sided with Uchiha Madara, and we need to find a top talent for the village.”
Nagato made a decision: he had to bring back a talented individual, someone loyal to him.
Chapter 329 A coup is being staged now? The shocked Xian Er!
"Obito, Nagato is requesting communication?"
In Kirigakure, Black Zetsu appeared inside the Mizukage Building.
Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha was immersed in his own world, reveling in his revenge against Kirigakure, the so-called Fourth Mizukage.
so what?
Doesn't it just end up as your own dog?
It's a joke that the mighty Mizukage has been controlled and reduced to a puppet.
However, Black Zetsu's appearance displeased him, and he immediately said in a deep voice, "What's going on? What happened again?"
Could you please be a little more steady?
Black Zetsu, you shouldn't be like this. This isn't the usual you.
Seeing Obito Uchiha acting so erratically, Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, "Has he lost his mind? Are you out of your mind? This is just not normal!"
