Obito was too lazy to think much about it, waving his hand and choosing to ignore it.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Although Black Zetsu felt something was slightly off, after a moment's thought, he felt Obito's words made sense; after all, Nagato was just a pawn in their hands, and the time for his final act was drawing near...
Even if Nagato really wanted to pull some small schemes, they didn't need to take him too seriously!
Because one thing could not be changed: Nagato's goal was also these Tailed Beasts. As long as it didn't affect the progress of the Tailed Beast capture plan, there was no need to worry about other matters.
Let him do whatever he wants!
In any case, as soon as the remaining three Tailed Beasts are successfully captured, Nagato will have completely lost his utility value.
"In that case, fine!"
"Since White Zetsu is keeping an eye on Nagato anyway, we don't have to fear him making any moves."
"Our main focus for the next step will be monitoring the Hidden Mist side. We must ensure that the moment the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are revived, we give the Hidden Mist Village absolutely no chance to capture them!"
"As for other matters, let them be."
"Regarding the mission to disrupt the Land of Water, leave it to the White Zetsu in our hands!"
A cold sneer appeared on Black Zetsu's face.
Clearly.
Neither Black Zetsu nor Obito intended to carry out the mission personally; after all, they had a hundred thousand White Zetsu at their disposal.
They could simply wake up a batch of White Zetsu, have them disguise themselves as Ninja, and then go carry out the mission.
Precisely because of the existence of these White Zetsu, although Obito and Black Zetsu rarely made a move, their team's mission completion rate was actually among the highest in the Akatsuki Organization.
...
Early the next morning.
Konan, having just woken up, felt a bit languid but refreshed overall. After all, staying in Konoha during this time meant she didn't have to worry about danger, as no one dared to act recklessly here.
Therefore.
Although the entire Ninja World had turned into a chaotic mess, the Land of Fire remained very stable. Especially since Konoha was the true core of the Land of Fire, it naturally enjoyed the peace and tranquility that were rare in the Ninja World.
Particularly after her conversation with Nagato last night, the last trace of worry in her heart had vanished, and her mindset naturally began to become calm and serene.
After a simple wash, she went downstairs, had a quick breakfast, and headed toward the Hokage Building.
Along the way.
A faint smile always hung on her face, and she would even greet people reservedly and politely when she encountered familiar faces on the road.
Ten minutes later.
Arriving at the Hokage Office, she went straight to her workstation and sat down.
After making herself a cup of tea, she began to look at the documents waiting to be processed on the desk with a headache.
Her lips were full of bitterness.
It seemed she had never imagined that one day she would have a headache from processing documents. After all, even when the Akatsuki Organization controlled the Land of Rain, she had to spend more of her time serving the Akatsuki Organization and had little time to focus on the Civilians of the Land of Rain.
Furthermore, the Land of Rain had no complex power management structure. Just making sure the Civilians of the Land of Rain didn't go hungry was difficult enough, so there naturally couldn't be so many routine documents for her to approve.
Konoha was completely different!
Without so many natural and man-made disasters, everyone could fill their bellies, but because of the perfect management structure, the daily routine documents piled up like small mountains.
So, sigh!
With a helpless sigh, Konan began to process the documents.
A short while later.
When Uchiha Jin arrived at the office, Konan finally put down the documents in her hand, rubbed her shoulders, and spoke: "I talked with Nagato last night. He is willing to cooperate with Konoha's actions."
"Oh, that's good!"
Uchiha Jin sat in his chair and nodded very calmly.
He was not surprised.
After all, having seen the original work, he understood Nagato very well. A person who could be persuaded even by Uzumaki Naruto was enough to prove that his heart was soft.
Despite Nagato's usual 'cold' and 'cruel' appearance, he didn't actually have a firm conviction in the true sense; he only carried the wish for peace from his dear friend.
If Uzumaki Naruto could succeed, Konan would naturally be even more successful.
After all, Konan was Nagato's most trusted close friend, and the effect of her personal intervention could not possibly be worse than Naruto's.
"Hokage-sama."
"Can you really protect Nagato?"
Watching Uchiha Jin, who had already started making tea out of boredom, Konan couldn't help but ask.
Clearly.
She was still worried about Nagato!
Especially knowing that the Rinnegan was not Nagato's own eye, that Obito and Black Zetsu were still hidden within the Akatsuki Organization, and that Uchiha Madara could be brought back via Edo Tensei at any time, Konan couldn't help but worry.
To this.
Uchiha Jin, who was drinking tea, put down his cup before slowly speaking: "Konan, there's no need to worry."
"First of all, given the current number of powerhouses in Konoha, there's no need to use low-level methods like deception. Doing so would only overdraw the overall credibility of Konoha. New Konoha is not like the Old Konoha, which was shameless, saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back!"
"Secondly, even if the situation worsens to the worst degree, what does it matter even if Nagato really dies?"
"With the appearance of techniques like the Rinnegan and Edo Tensei, the boundary between life and death has actually become very blurred."
"Even if Nagato really dies, we can just resurrect him when the time comes."
"Uchiha Madara was able to awaken the Rinnegan, and I consider myself no less capable than Uchiha Madara."
"I have a feeling—it's soon!"
"As long as I nurture my Mangekyo for a bit longer, I will definitely awaken my Rinnegan as well!"
When saying these words, Uchiha Jin's face was full of confidence.
Yes!
During this period, it seemed like he was doing nothing, appearing to stroll around Konoha every day as if he were slacking off.
But in reality.
How could he, as a transmigrator, slack off? After all, he knew the dangers of this world better than anyone, so in fact, his daily training intensity was higher than anyone else's. Whenever he had free time, he would try his best to communicate with the Seven-Story Pagoda in his sea of consciousness.
During this time, the results were naturally not few!
Sitting in the Hokage Office was a rare rest time for him, which gave people the illusion that he was slacking off.
But the real reason he did this was because he knew the true nature of the Ninja World. So-called power was actually just that; in front of truly powerful individuals, the so-called Kage were no different from children.
Not to mention he hadn't awakened the Rinnegan yet; even if he did awaken it one day, he still wouldn't be considered truly invincible in the Ninja World.
"This..."
Hearing this, Konan was stunned.
She really hadn't considered what Uchiha Jin had just said.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make a lot of sense!
She had personally seen how Nagato resurrected Rin Nohara before, so it seemed Uchiha Jin's words were indeed logical.
The boundary between life and death had been broken, so it seemed like it didn't matter even if Nagato really died.
