Chapter 144 - Konan's Growth

Konan flew back to the Land of Rain as fast as she could, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Originally, she only had some doubts about Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu. She always felt that even if these two had any schemes, they would definitely not be a match for Nagato.

But now that she knew Nagato had been under these two's calculations since birth, she felt very worried about Nagato's situation.

She was afraid that when she returned this time, she would see Nagato's corpse.

Yahiko had died for her sake, and now she couldn't let Nagato lose his life because she didn't return in time.

Madara Uchiha hadn't appeared for several months, and Black Zetsu and that new member had been researching that Forbidden Technique.

Now that she was not in the Land of Rain, and Sasori had gone to the Hidden Stone Village, that meant all the Akatsuki members currently staying in the Land of Rain were Madara Uchiha's subordinates.

"Damn it! Nagato is in a very dangerous situation!"

Konan, who was spreading her paper wings and constantly breaking through clouds in the air, couldn't help but curse.

Her flying speed increased again.

Facts have proved that the human body is quite magical.

Especially Ninjas.

Along the way, Konan only replenished her Soldier Pills and Water once, and maintained full-speed flight.

In just two days, Konan returned to the Land of Rain. When she saw Nagato in the high tower, her hanging heart relaxed.

When Nagato saw Konan flying over in a hurry from the high tower in the Land of Rain, he was also very puzzled.

"Konan, you..."

"Hoo! Nagato, you, cough, you are in a very dangerous situation!"

Before Nagato could finish speaking, Konan interrupted him. Although her speech was intermittent and she was panting heavily, she still managed to say it completely.

Nagato frowned upon hearing this. Konan was not such an unsteady person, so there must be something very urgent.

"Is the Nine Tails Jinchuriki planning to attack the Land of Rain?"

Nagato asked directly. The only danger he could think of now was this. Currently, the Akatsuki was not well-known in the Shinobi World, and the only enemy that could be considered was the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.

Konan, who had recovered a little, hurriedly shook her head when she heard Nagato suspecting Naruto, and said, "It's not the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, it's Madara Uchiha!"

"Your eyes are likely to have been placed on you by Madara Uchiha..."

Konan told Nagato the information she had obtained from Naruto in detail.

As Konan narrated bit by bit, Nagato's eyes gradually widened. His first reaction was that the information was false.

"Konan, is your information true?"

What responded to Nagato was a moment of silence, and Konan's slightly panting sound due to the long journey.

Nagato lowered his head and couldn't help clenching the handrail of his special wheelchair.

Nagato was not stupid. From the information Konan said, he already had some guesses. If the Rinnegan was really as the Nine Tails Jinchuriki said.

Then his Rinnegan was indeed ridiculous. It was clearly his power, but he couldn't control it himself.

Every day, so much of his Chakra is drained that his body is so weak that he has to use the Six Paths Clones to move around outside.

But he was somewhat unwilling to believe this result. He had always prided himself on being a god, but in the end, was he just a pawn in someone else's game?

"Hehe."

Nagato couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Nagato..."

"Alright, Konan."

Konan looked at Nagato with concern, wanting to comfort him, but was directly interrupted by Nagato.

Nagato looked at Konan seriously, and then said, "I don't completely believe this information."

"Hear me out!"

Seeing that Konan was about to speak again, Nagato also increased his tone a bit. He was indeed in a bad mood right now.

"Black Zetsu is still in the Land of Rain, I will personally verify the truth of this information."

Hearing this, Konan's eyes also lit up, and she said, "If that's the case, let's go and capture him now."

Nagato shook his head, refusing, "Let's wait two more days, your condition is a bit too bad right now."

Konan now has very little Chakra left that she can use in her body, and she needs some time to recover. If Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu are really the masterminds behind the scenes, he is worried that Konan will become his weakness again.

Konan, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, also understood the meaning in Nagato's words, and her expression became a little complicated.

After hesitating for a while, she said, "Nagato, perhaps we can borrow the help of the Nine Tails Jinchuriki..."

Konan also told Nagato about Naruto's recruitment of the Akatsuki organization before, and also vividly described what she had seen and heard in Wave Country.

And Naruto told her about the real cancer of the Shinobi World, and the real way to achieve peace.

Listening to Konan's narration, Nagato, who had been hanging his head, slowly raised it.

He looked at the expectant light in Konan's eyes when she spoke, and also understood what she was thinking.

For a time, he was a little dazed, feeling a little sad in his heart, but also feeling a little gratified.

Konan has changed. What made Nagato sad was that the goal of peace they had persisted in for so long had been changed in just a few days.

But he was also sincerely happy for Konan. She was no longer like in the past, just living to accommodate other people's dreams, she had found her own path.

"Nagato, true peace cannot be achieved by simply stopping the war, but by recreating a world after peace."

"The power of the Akatsuki organization cannot truly achieve peace. Our power is too distorted. We can destroy the world, but we cannot create a new world."

"And the Nine Tails Jinchuriki... the leader of Wave Country, Uzumaki Naruto, he holds the power to create a new world."

As Konan spoke, she took out the textbook that Naruto had given her from her Black Robe and handed it to Nagato.

Nagato was silent for a while, and did not choose to reach out to take it.

"Konan, you've changed... no, it should be said that you've grown up."

A forced smile appeared on Nagato's face, and then he said, "Go and rest first, let's discuss these things after we've resolved Madara Uchiha's matter."

Konan silently withdrew her hand.

"Nagato, I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the light."

Seeing Nagato's resistance, Konan didn't say anything more. Although she agreed with the peace philosophy of Wave Country, she would not force it on Nagato.

She could only slowly persuade him later.

The top priority was still the matter of Madara Uchiha.
