Konan was very satisfied with the promise. Then, after thinking for a moment, she proactively kissed him and whispered in his ear: "Didn't you always want me to be more decisive earlier? Now I agree."
"You can completely make me yours at any time."
Shiro did not waste words after hearing this, nor did he even bother to use the power of time. After all, there was still time, an entire afternoon.
At this moment, Konan let out a painful cry due to her injuries. Although as a ninja she was often injured, it was normal to feel pain from injuries, right?
....
When Tsunade returned for dinner tonight, things felt a bit strange. The atmosphere was simply odd. Mainly, she never expected that in just one day, another person would appear in her house, and she knew who that person was.
Konan, shouldn't she be with Akatsuki? Or did Shiro forcibly bring her?
"You weren't forcibly taken by that Shiro guy directly from Amegakure, were you?"
Tsunade took a sip of sake, then looked over and asked the question, but she did not show any hostility. After all, although these people were mercenaries and gave the impression that they had done all sorts of bad things, she knew exactly what had happened. To put it clearly, it was all Danzo's fault.
And their ideology was originally for peace, not to mention their connection with that guy Jiraiya. So there was no need to show vigilance or anything else. Basically, with Shiro guaranteeing for them, there really wasn't any problem.
However, Tsunade was still very annoyed. That bastard was here yesterday, all gentle and close with her, and then he turns around and brings another person back. What does that mean? She didn't even mind him having someone on the side, but he openly brought her here.
Tsunade felt that she had finally witnessed what a real super bastard meant. This guy, at such a young age, could be such a bastard; truly a rare specimen.
Although Tsunade appeared calm on the outside at this moment, it didn't mean she didn't have other thoughts. She had the urge to beat him to death, but considering their combat strength, she decided against it and quietly endured.
"No, I just made a deal with Shiro."
Konan, who was not very familiar with Tsunade, simply kept her answer short. When Tsunade heard this, her brows furrowed as if she had realized something, and she spoke in a probing tone.
"Don't tell me that Nagato, that delusional guy who calls himself a god, was killed, and that Shiro went to help you revive him as part of the deal, right?"
Konan could only be left speechless after hearing this, because everything Tsunade said was correct. As for calling himself a god every day, how to put it? Indeed, this 'god' was somewhat weak, he had been killed instantly.
"It seems it's true. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I'll give you a suggestion: have him dig out the Rinnegan. After all, those eyes are not his; someone else implanted them, which is why his body is in such a bad state. He is from the Uzumaki clan, with very strong vitality, but those eyes were draining his life force."
Tsunade's casual remark completely stunned Konan. She could no longer maintain her calm expression. She stood up, looking at Tsunade with a shocked expression, and spoke in a very disturbed tone.
"Tsunade of Konoha, you… you… what did you mean by what you just said?"
Tsunade looked at her, who had suddenly stood up with a shocked expression, and a big question mark appeared in her mind. She was so shocked, which meant Shiro hadn't told her, right?
"Didn't that Shiro guy tell you about Uzumaki Nagato's situation?"
Konan recalled the situation of that man after he brought her back; he immediately started doing what he wanted and never stopped, so he didn't tell her anything.
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but blush slightly. She looked at her new clothes, and the 'underwear' that that guy made her wear underneath.
Tsunade looked at Konan's posture, as if she understood something. She took a sip of sake and spoke in a disdainful tone.
"Is that guy's head full of perverted thoughts? Looking at you, I can tell he must have dragged you back and didn't stop, which is why he didn't tell you anything else."
Konan's face turned red after hearing this, but she still quietly agreed.
"Konoha…"
"Just call me Tsunade. No need to add so much to the name; it's a tongue twister."
Tsunade directly interrupted her, because 'Konoha Tsunade' sounded so unnatural.
Just when Konan wanted to change the way she addressed her, Tsunade spoke first again.
"I know what you want to know, and I don't mind telling you. After all, that guy will probably tell you in a day or two. The main thing is that his head was probably full of lustful thoughts at first, so he was too impatient to tell you anything else."
Tsunade clearly understood his situation: hadn't he just finally gotten rid of that humiliating status? To put it clearly, he had just tasted passion for the first time, found it endlessly pleasurable, and was immersed in it. Although she herself was also very immersed, she would never admit it.
"Actually, it's very simple. The Rinnegan on Uzumaki Nagato's body was implanted by someone else; they were not something he was born with."
Tsunade's words were like thunder thrown into the sea, followed by a bang, instantly causing splashes everywhere.
Konan's face turned slightly pale at this moment, because the meaning behind these words was enormous. It implied that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, and who that person was remained unclear. If the eyes were not naturally his, then there must be a huge conspiracy, and Nagato was just a pawn…
"Who… who is it?"
"Who would do such a thing? Could it be the Sage of Six Paths?"
Konan thought of this. Weren't they called gods because of those eyes? So that means the Sage of Six Paths implanted them. However, Tsunade's next words shocked her even more.
"You're overthinking it. The one who implanted them was Uchiha Madara."
"Those eyes belonged to him, but before his death, he made some plans for his revival, and Nagato was just a vessel for the Rinnegan."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she looked at Konan's incredulous expression, took a sip of sake, and began telling her the story.
After listening, Konan's facial expressions could be called the most varied in her life.
"So you're saying that Nagato's body became like this because these eyes can truly be used only by those of Uchiha bloodline, and since he is from the Uzumaki clan, Uchiha Madara used his life force to store the Rinnegan."
"Not exactly. After all, he also needed the power to collect the Tailed Beasts. So not only did he inherit them, but he could also use them. If he were weak, he wouldn't have lasted long and would have died. But he was a perfect fit. As for what he would become, that wasn't that guy's concern."
Konan became angry after hearing this.
"Damn Uchiha Madara."
"And indeed, that masked man was not Madara; he was Uchiha Obito."
"That disgusting guy."
Konan was furious after learning so many secrets, but at the same time, she felt powerless. It didn't seem like she could defeat those people, because they had too many hidden tricks, not to mention Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
"I know you're angry, and I know you want revenge, but your strength is not enough. You can go and ask that guy for help. If he acts, you might find that if you know certain things and want someone to die, they will."
Tsunade also understood how they had been deceived, or rather, how they had been manipulated from birth until now, so she showed her a clear path.
Konan knew who she was referring to after hearing this. She nodded, indicating that she understood, and wondered in her heart how to make him happy.
