Kakuzu's eyes slightly narrowed, then he said somewhat sternly, "You destroy their village, and then you want them to be grateful to you… This is truly a shameless request. Even having lived this long, I rarely see such shameless conduct."
Limitless smiled and said, "Nobility is the epitaph of the noble; shamelessness is the pass of the shameless. I'll take it as you praising me. However, it's precisely because this request requires accurate judgment of various situations that I can only entrust it to an experienced ninja like you. Someone like Deidara, I'm afraid, would just blow up the entire Craftsman Village if he got a little hot-headed."
Limitless's praise made Kakuzu feel a little better. Ah, indeed, only an experienced talent like him can perfectly complete this request.
Nagato, hmm, it seems he's not that annoying after all.
Thinking of this, Kakuzu paused for a moment, then asked Limitless, "Is Hidan dead?"
Although Hidan was still causing trouble and wasting time, his immortality was still very useful in battle.
Limitless nodded, "He is eternal."
Kakuzu also nodded, no longer holding out hope. Then he said, "I understand. Then I accept your request. I will probably return to the base in two days. You can give me the detailed information then."
These two days, Kakuzu was near the border of the Land of Fire, preparing to hunt some jonin's hearts to replenish his consumption.
After Nagato released the Outer Path: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Limitless and Sasori's consciousness returned to their bodies. No, to be precise, their consciousness had always been in their bodies, and they were aware of what was happening around them. Joining the meeting was just a thought wave, and it didn't matter if they lost it.
Limitless said, "Sasori's mission probably won't take much time either. First, let me explain the content of the request. After he comes back, please relay it to him. That way, I won't have to make another trip."
Konan could only nod in agreement again.
Limitless then continued, "The content of this request has nothing to do with combat. I have obtained some blueprints for ninja tools, but unfortunately, I don't understand these things. I need Sasori to use his professional knowledge to help me optimize the effects of these ninja tools, and then train some technicians who can manufacture these ninja tools. After his current mission ends, I hope he can accept this request and go to the Land of Waves. Right, the Land of Waves will soon change its name to the Land of Raging Waves. Tell him not to go to the wrong place."
Upon hearing Limitless's words, Konan instantly thought of his previous request concerning the Craftsman Village, and asked, "Are you planning to have Sasori train those artisans from the Craftsman Village?"
Limitless nodded, "Yes, it's truly too time-consuming to train a technician from scratch. The artisans of the Craftsman Village have dedicated their lives to researching ninja tool manufacturing techniques, so they will learn faster."
He wanted to eliminate ninjas, so the existing ninja system could no longer be used. But it was also too wasteful to create a combat system from scratch, so his decision was to turn the war between ninjas into a modern war!
And what does modern warfare rely on?
Industry!
And money!
Limitless wanted Sasori to optimize the ninja tools of the Craftsman Village, making them more suitable for large-scale troop combat. At the same time, he would also start an industrial revolution in the Land of Raging Waves, directly making the artisans of the Craftsman Village the core, transforming that place into a giant industrial nation!
Military factories would continuously send various weapons and armaments to frontline troops. They could throw ten grenades at the enemy's head, not just nine!
With firepower coverage and saturation bombing, new battle tactics would teach those ninjas still using cold weapons a lesson!
Konan fell silent after hearing Limitless's words. Nagato had only joined the organization for one day, and he had already begun to use the organization to get things done.
And they, in order to conquer the ninja world, had been hidden for over a decade, and then hadn't even started anything.
Over a decade, it was truly too long. Even she was already thirty years old…
From this perspective, even if Nagato wasn't controlled, then Obito wouldn't be much better…
Nagato saw that Konan was silent for some reason, so he spoke, "The organization's rule is that two people work together and act together. You two…"
Limitless said, "Nagato and I are inseparable. We will never be apart. Please seriously consider this point."
Nagato pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I'll consider you as a single entity. The organization will arrange partners for you later."
"No problem," Limitless nodded, then raised another question, "But as we discussed before, our next mission is to continue promoting the great ninja war. There's no problem with this."
Nagato nodded, "Missions in this regard can be entrusted to you. However, if the organization has other missions later, you must also cooperate to complete the organization's missions."
"Yes, we have no problem," Limitless said to Konan. At the same time, he said, "Since we've talked about this, why don't we choose Konan as our partner? Promoting the great ninja war might require the organization's power. With Konan here, we won't waste time and can directly mobilize what we need."
Take Konan away?
Nagato didn't even think about it, and directly controlled the Outer Path to respond, "No, the organization still has a lot of work that requires her. She can't be spared here. In short, the organization will choose a suitable partner for you. Please be patient and wait."
Upon hearing this, Limitless looked at Konan meaningfully and said, "Hehe, it seems the leader really wants to keep you in his grasp."
After speaking, he looked at Nagato again. "Since that's the case, we'll return to Kusagakure first. If anything comes up, you can look for us again. The great ninja war is about to begin, and we're also very busy."
After a simple farewell, Limitless and Sasori immediately took off, heading back in the direction of Kusagakure.
And Konan watched their backs, falling into thought. Nagato's words still echoed in her ears. A moment later, Konan turned to Nagato.
This was made from Yahiko's corpse…
Cruel killing weapons!
Konan was silent for a moment, then she raised her head and said to Nagato, "Nagato, we… should we…"
She wanted to ask if Nagato could revive Yahiko, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them. She couldn't confirm if Nagato had truly been replaced by someone else.
If not, then her actions would be to abandon Yahiko before Nagato, which would be unfair to Nagato.
Nagato could sacrifice himself for Yahiko, but Konan couldn't actively ask Nagato to sacrifice himself for Yahiko. This might seem to make no difference, but for some people who are persistent with internal conflicts, it is extremely important.
Nagato looked at Konan with suspicion, and after waiting for a moment, Konan spoke again, "Since we've already been exposed, then let's just abandon the Tailed Beast capture plan. And you also heard Nagato say it, this plan is almost impossible to carry out. We've all been deceived by Uchiha Madara."
Nagato nodded. Although he didn't care about Uchiha Madara's little tricks because of the power of the Rinnegan, he didn't want to be made a fool of. So he said, "I understand. Since that's the case, then…"
Before he finished speaking, with a whoosh, a spatial vortex instantly appeared in the room, and then a masked man appeared in front of the two!
"Oh, I seemed to hear someone say they were deceived? Did I hear wrong?" Uchiha Obito looked at Konan, who showed no expression at all.
And at this moment, Black Zetsu, who was not far away, also stuck his head out and chuckled, "Hehe, did you catch up? It was originally just a precaution, but I didn't expect it to actually be used. Nagato… you people are really troublesome."
Black Zetsu possesses the ability to merge completely with the earth. This ability allows him to avoid all reconnaissance ninjutsu in the ninja world and move extremely fast within the earth. With this ability, he can be said to be the best scout in the ninja world!
In the room, Uchiha Obito's mind was rapidly churning, thinking about what exactly was happening at this moment. He had returned to Amegakure at Black Zetsu's summons. The reason was that Nagato, who had been causing trouble and stirring up storms in the ninja world, had also become a member of the organization, and their bodies possessed the One-Tail. Black Zetsu worried that Nagato and Konan's attitudes would change because of this. He just didn't expect that as soon as he returned, he would hear the two of them saying they had been deceived by him.
What exactly was going on here?
Since he had already been discovered, Konan directly said to Uchiha Obito, "The Akatsuki organization's plan to conquer the world was almost entirely formulated under your influence, but we found a problem."
Was it really you who found it?
Obito's mind immediately flashed with the figure of Nagato. Before meeting them, Konan had never "discovered" any problems.
Obito, who was currently disguised as Uchiha Madara, asked in a hoarse voice, "Oh, what problem did you find?"
Konan looked at Nagato, then continued, "It's about capturing Tailed Beasts. You told us to capture Tailed Beasts first, and then launch the great ninja war. But in reality, once we start capturing Tailed Beasts, other villages will immediately focus their attention on us. They can't just pretend nothing happened without the Tailed Beasts and still launch a great ninja war! In other words, once we start capturing Tailed Beasts, all subsequent plans will be impossible to carry out! How do you explain this!"
Obito's eyes narrowed. What? How to explain?
After you capture the Tailed Beasts, you're all useless anyway. What else do I need to explain? At most, I'll waste a little more chakra to kill you all.
But now, how did they discover this point?
Is it still that Nagato?
