"Hmph, you'd have to be capable enough for that."
After the initial shock, Konan suddenly felt she was overthinking things.
With the Land of Earth drawn into this, one wrong move could lead to a world war.
In such circumstances, anything was possible.
In other words, even if Nagato truly died, what then?
As a Ninja, as a strong individual with grand ambitions, they had long prepared to face death.
"If he dies on the battlefield, I have nothing to say."
Konan slowly said, "You don't need to be a persuader; it's useless."
"No, no, no!"
Naruto shook his head, "I mean, he might die before I even properly make a move."
Konan: "???"
What a joke.
Besides you, this pervert, who else in this world could pose a threat to him?
Konan's face was filled with disbelief.
She felt Naruto was just trying to disrupt her thoughts, to throw her into disarray, so that he could attack her mentally, putting her in a dangerous position.
"Is that so?"
Naruto snapped his fingers, and soon someone brought over a pile of snacks.
"Come, come, let me tell you a story today."
Konan watched with cold eyes.
"Eat with me."
Naruto pushed some snacks over, then said, "This story happened a few years ago. At that time, in the Land of Rain, three people, under Jiraiya's brief guidance, began to show their Ninja talents."
Konan's expression changed.
Naruto was talking about their childhood; had Jiraiya-sensei told him even this?
"…"
"They wanted to build a peaceful world. Yahiko, as the leader, was very charismatic and gathered many like-minded individuals."
"Unfortunately, unexpected things happen. You were targeted."
"And this person is called… Zetsu!"
Zetsu?
"Impossible, he's just an intelligence gatherer. Besides, why would he target us for no reason?"
Konan didn't believe it.
At that time, although they had some power, there were many stronger than them. Why were they chosen?
Also, what was the purpose of choosing them?
"In fact, you were targeted long ago. Otherwise, where did Nagato's Rinnegan come from?"
Naruto sneered, "Let me tell you, the Rinnegan on Nagato's body is not his at all."
"Whose is it?"
Konan's face turned ugly.
Seeing how articulate Naruto was, Konan suddenly felt that what Naruto said might very well be the truth.
But precisely because of this, she found it hard to accept.
Had all their plans for so many years been for others to benefit from?
"That's right, the owner of this Rinnegan is the true Uchiha Madara."
Naruto spoke eloquently, clearly presenting Zetsu's plan to Konan.
Konan listened, unable to speak for a long time.
It was too shocking, and too terrifying.
Someone had meticulously planned to such an extent, even thinking of ways to remedy it.
Unfortunately, despite such deep calculations, it was still utterly crushed by the sudden rise of Uzumaki Naruto.
"Zetsu must not have expected a variable like you to appear at that time."
Konan sighed.
She largely believed what Naruto said.
Because many things couldn't withstand scrutiny, it was just that no one had pierced that veil.
Now that Naruto was dissecting these story threads, Konan could easily analyze it and conclude that it was true.
However, it was also very possible that some of Naruto's malice was mixed in.
"You're here to make me break Nagato's will, aren't you?"
Finally, Konan looked at Naruto, a hint of mockery curving her lips.
"Uchiha Madara doesn't seem to pose a threat to you, does he? Why are you taking the long way around?"
"Or rather, why do you think I would help you?"
Naruto smiled.
Tearing open a bag of potato chips casually, Narutoate a few pieces, then continued, "I just don't want to put all my eggs in one basket."
"In other words, as an enemy, destroying his plan is what I need to do."
"Do you think I'd be foolish enough to let him achieve his goal and release Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?"
Ōtsutsuki!
Konan sneered; she seemed to know why Narutowas doing this.
Perhaps even he himself didn't think he could defeat Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and the current combination of enemies, which is why he needed her to internally break Nagato's defenses.
"You're mistaken."
Naruto explained very seriously, "For me, defeating the current combination of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Toneri is not difficult."
Naruto smiled, remaining silent.
He truly wasn't afraid of this war; his strength, as Nine-Tailed said, was probably at the Six Paths level in terms of raw power.
It was just that he didn't have Yin-Yang Release.
Even now, Naruto hadn't figured out the origin of Yin-Yang Release.
But it wasn't a big problem; it was just a matter of transforming and then investigating it later.
What he truly feared was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, it was shown that Isshiki and Kaguya came to the Ninja Worldtogether, and Isshiki was ambushed.
This information might not be reliable, but Ōtsutsuki Kaguya ate the fruit, and her strength was unprecedentedly powerful.
Most importantly, she was immortal.
In such a situation, if Naruto had the ability to stop it and didn't, he would be a fool.
"Believe it or not, when this battle begins, the first person I'll target is Nagato."
"You should think it over carefully."
Naruto scoffed, then left.
…
"Are you really going to target Nagato?"
Nine-Tailed lay on Naruto's shoulder, looking at Naruto in confusion, "Isn't Ōtsutsuki more of a threat?"
"Oh, by the way, I'm suddenly curious, how do you know about these future events?"
Nine-Tailed suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice, "I promise not to tell."
"You know the Great Toad Sage, right? You can understand it as that ability."
Nine-Tailed: "…"
That's quite perfunctory.
After complaining, Nine-Tailed frowned, "Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is indeed very powerful. Even the Six Paths Sage barely managed to seal her with his brother."
"If she really comes out, it will be difficult to handle; the entire Ninja World will fall into darkness."
"Then don't let her out."
Shukaku said coldly, "Kill that Nagato and seize the Rinnegan."
"Without that Rinnegan, how do you think they'll revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya? But the safest thing is to kill that Zetsu."
"Shukaku is right."
Naruto clapped his hands, "That's what I thought too."
"Only a fool would let my plan succeed."
"Let's go!"
"It's time to depart."
Naruto walked out of the Root base and soon arrived at the Daimyo's office.
At this moment,
many people had already set off for the battlefield. Naruto was currently stationed in Konoha Village.
With his Flying Thunder God power, he could reach the front lines with just a thought.
"How are things?"
Sitting in the office chair, Naruto asked Uchiha Izumi.
"This lineup is unprecedentedly strong!"
Uchiha Izumi's expression was solemn, "Those people are crazy; they actually chose the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire as the battlefield."
"Tsk,"
"The great war is about to begin!"
Naruto slowly stood up.
Well then, it was time for him to make a grand entrance…
