"Wh-what's possible?!"
Konan's eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief, her gaze fixed on Naruto's eyes.
Having been by Nagato's side for so long, she could be sure that these were genuine Rinnegan eyes. She didn't understand why Naruto would also possess these eyes.
Teacher Jiraiya had clearly said that these were eyes that hadn't appeared in hundreds of years.
"Moreover, unlike Nagato's power, which was forcibly added, I may be closer to a god."
The corners of Naruto's mouth lifted slightly, his face full of confidence.
He was very confident in himself now. After all, his Rinnegan was different from Nagato's, which had been transplanted by someone else. As a Rinnegan that had evolved on its own.
Whether in terms of control or the strength of his Dojutsu, he was above Nagato, and he wouldn't end up half-paralyzed from overuse.
Hearing this, Konan's body trembled again, her eyes filled with fear in addition to shock.
"Wh-why do you know Nagato's identity?"
Naruto just looked at Konan quietly, without answering, but instead asked, "Shouldn't you be more curious as to why Nagato became so emaciated even though he was only using his own power?"
Konan was stunned by Naruto's question, and then said, "Nagato became like that because he used a Forbidden Technique."
Naruto shook his head and said, "The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path isn't a Forbidden Technique for the Rinnegan. Moreover, as far as I know, Nagato's body was very weak even before he used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Even after you became Ninja, Nagato's body was still very weak, which is quite strange for a member of the Uzumaki Clan."
"You should have met Uzumaki Suika, right? She was almost dead because of excessive consumption of Chakra and vitality, but after being replenished and recuperated, she is now much healthier than the average person. That's what a normal member of the Uzumaki Clan should be like."
After hearing this, Konan also recalled that Nagato seemed to have always been sickly since he was a child, and his body was not even as good as hers. If Nagato was really a member of the Uzumaki Clan, this was indeed very abnormal.
"Wh-why is this?"
"There is also a Ninja in Wave Country who once had a similar situation, his name is Kakashi Hatake."
"The Son of the White Fang of Konoha! I heard that he is the only person in the Shinobi World outside of the Uchiha Clan who possesses the Sharingan. Why is he..."
Konan suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had understood something, and exclaimed, "The eyes?!"
"There is a price to pay for obtaining power that does not belong to you."
"Kakashi's Sharingan doesn't belong to him, so he can't turn it off, which requires him to constantly consume his own Chakra to support it."
"And Nagato is the same. Those Rinnegan eyes are a power that was forced upon him, and he also can't control them, so even if he has the talent of the Uzumaki Clan, he is still so weak."
In order to prove this to Konan, Naruto's eyes slightly opened and closed, and then returned to their original blue color.
Konan was still a little unwilling to believe it, and said, "But Nagato's eyes have been like that since he was born."
"Doesn't that mean that Nagato has been in someone else's scheme from the very beginning? Those eyes are like a seed planted in Nagato's body, and he himself is the nourishment. After all, ordinary people can't afford to raise Rinnegan eyes."
At this moment, Konan only felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave, and her lips trembled slightly.
She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and said, "Who exactly is it?!"
"Didn't you already know?"
Konan raised her head again, and a name blurted out.
"Madara Uchiha!"
Because after Yahiko died, this Madara Uchiha emerged and proposed the plan to collect the Tailed Beasts.
Perhaps Yahiko's death was also related to him!
A fierce look appeared in Konan's eyes.
It wasn't that Konan trusted Naruto because of his few words, but that Naruto had fully proved the credibility of his words.
Both were from the Uzumaki Clan, and both possessed the Rinnegan, yet the difference was like heaven and earth.
Moreover, she had already sensed Madara Uchiha's ill intentions when he first contacted Nagato; it was indeed as she suspected.
Konan immediately stood up and gave Naruto a ninety-degree bow.
"I'm truly sorry, Leader of Wave Country, but I must return to the Land of Rain immediately, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a direct reply for the time being."
Naruto shook his head and handed her a ring, saying, "I think you should be familiar with the function of this ring. Once you have a result, feel free to contact me at any time."
Konan looked at the ring in Naruto's palm and took it without much hesitation. If Madara Uchiha was really plotting all of this in the dark, then having Naruto's help would be like having an extra layer of insurance.
"Thank you."
After expressing her gratitude, a pair of pure white paper wings stretched out from Konan's back, and she soared into the sky.
Watching Konan's departing figure, Naruto smiled.
What kind of reaction would Nagato, who had always considered himself a god, have when he suddenly discovered that he was just a pawn in someone else's game?
Would he jump out of the chessboard, or would he continue to deceive himself and maintain the status quo?
Naruto still hoped that Nagato would be sensible, otherwise he would have to personally go and teach him a lesson. When that time came, the Rinnegan would have to change owners.
He also suddenly thought that if there were casualties in Wave Country in the future, could he install the Rinnegan on Hidan? Wouldn't that make Wave Country equivalent to having a mobile Fountain of healing?
Anyway, it was hot-swappable; he could just install it on someone else after using it.
Naruto glanced at the many students on the training ground who were amazed by the sudden appearance of a winged person, and didn't think too much about it. He had already left a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on Konan.
The current Naruto could launch a blitz on the Land of Rain at any time.
Speaking of which, the Rinnegan, as the evolved form of the Sharingan, wouldn't overwrite the original Mangekyo Sharingan's Dojutsu. He was now very curious about what Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan's Dojutsu was.
...
Back in his office, Uzumaki Suika had already prepared tea.
At this moment, she was standing with a gentle expression, wearing a white shirt and a black, form-fitting uniform jacket.
She was holding a file in her hand, so there must be something to report again.
Uzumaki Suika's current job was Naruto's assistant.
Originally, with her abilities, she should have been working at Konoha Hospital, but because she had lost too much Chakra and vitality in the past, and had only just recovered, she couldn't perform tasks that required Chakra consumption in a short period of time.
That's why she chose to work as a relatively leisurely assistant.
Naruto leaned lazily into his office chair and asked, "Anything happen these past two days?"
Uzumaki Suika glanced at the file in her hand and began to report.
