Receiving "Dawn's" Legacy

"What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so hot and unable to think? Am I poisoned?" Konan muttered to herself, feeling mentally confused and restless.

Roy was speechless. Isn't everyone in this world precocious, the kind who thinks about love all day long at eleven or twelve? How can there be such an exception?

"The Akatsuki's power should be in your hands, right? Hand it over to me!" Roy said, getting back to the main point.

"Ah... what do you want to do, like that guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara, trying to control this world?" Konan struggled to break free from that warm embrace, looking directly into Roy's heart with her pure and innocent eyes.

"I'm already tired of this game of conquering the world..." Roy shook his head slightly, not lying. Conquering the world was simply too unchallenging. His real intention was to make the people of this world cry and beg him to ascend to the highest altar, so that he could add some flavor to his mundane journey.

Konan was speechless upon hearing this. Although it was an arrogant and boastful statement, the way it came from Roy's mouth gave it a convincing power. It seemed that the supreme power that most people dreamed of was really just an insignificant game in his eyes.

"I came to this era only to reshape the order and let the flowers of peace bloom throughout the world!" Roy said resolutely, while secretly thinking to himself, "Having been the destroyer of the world so many times, it seems not so bad to occasionally taste the feeling of saving the world, although I might just be the one to unleash the root of this world's destruction!"

"Let the flowers of peace... bloom all over the world?" The dim starlight in Konan's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had found the meaning of her existence again.

She didn't doubt Roy's words, or rather, she didn't want to doubt Roy. She nodded slightly and uttered, "What do you want me to do?"

"Gather the remaining forces of Akatsuki, have them relay my instructions and spread intelligence, and let the doctrines of the Dream God Sect penetrate into all the small countries."

"The Dream God Sect... all the small countries? I understand, I will help you manage the Dream God Sect!" Now that she had found her place, Konan was no longer confused, and she no longer cared about the so-called tenets of the Dream God Sect Cult.

Within the illusory space, five illusory figures stood suspended in mid-air.

"What a surprise! I thought this technique wouldn't be able to be used after Pain's death!" Kisame Hoshigaki said, squinting his small, beady eyes.

"I was also surprised. I thought that after leaving Akatsuki, I would never be able to use this technique to meet everyone again!" Orochimaru said in a sinister and terrifying voice.

"So that mysterious guy Zetsu really hasn't shown up again, Kisame, why don't you join us?" Deidara looked around but didn't see Zetsu anywhere.

"The new organization is called 'Dream,' and its purpose is to liberate this illusory world from suffering!" Konan's cool voice slowly rang out.

"Kisame, I see confusion about this world in your eyes. Is it because you've always known that your life is nothing but a ridiculous deception? Join us, and I will free you from the pain of lies!" Roy said seductively.

Roy, who was very clear about Kisame Hoshigaki's life trajectory, naturally knew where his weakness lay. Due to the Land of Blood Mist, this seemingly cruel and cold-blooded tailless beast constantly denied his own existence. As a result, he highly approved of the "Moon Eye" plan described by "Uchiha Madara" and was even willing to give up his life to protect the information being transmitted.

"You can see right through my mind? No wonder Mr. Itachi mentioned from the beginning that you are someone who is hidden in the mist yet can see through illusions. In fact, Mr. Itachi made a final deal with you before he died. Since it was his choice, I am very interested in witnessing how you, Boss, will change the world!"

Upon hearing Kisame Hoshigaki's final change in address, Roy silently nodded and said, "You will see it. It will be a more practical choice than the so-called 'Moon Eye' plan!"

"I didn't expect that you, leader, already knew about the 'Moon Eye' project. It seems that I don't need to say anything more about Uchiha Madara."

"Five Kage Summit? Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, has been defeated and killed, and the remaining Akatsuki members have submitted to Roy. With his control, Akatsuki should be powerless to launch a rebellion, right?" Upon learning that the Raikage intended to convene Five Kage Summit, Tsunade looked at Kakashi was delivering the information, with considerable surprise and asked.

"Indeed, based on the intelligence we have so far, Orochimaru, Deidara, Konan, Kisame Hoshigaki, these four powerful S-rank rogue ninjas, have all announced their departure from Akatsuki and Lord Roy the Dream God Sect founded by Lord Roy. At the same time, they are using their respective strengths to help various countries quell unrest and atone for their past actions. It is clear that Lord Roy has indeed come with the goodwill of peace."

Kakashi said solemnly, "However, according to the news from the Raikage, the Akatsuki was not destroyed. Instead, another terrifying figure has emerged and is manipulating things behind the scenes. All the tailed beasts that the Akatsuki had captured have fallen into that person's hands. Just recently, the Raikage's brother, Killer Bee, the Eight Tails Killer Bee, was also captured. The person who did it was none other than our Konoha's rogue ninja, Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Uchiha... Sasuke!" Tsunade sighed. "As expected of the last descendant of the Uchiha Clan, he not only defeated Orochimaru, but even Killer Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, was no match for him?"

"Now it seems that the Raikage, who had previously remained indifferent to our appeals, is suddenly convening the Five Kage Summit to use this incident as a pretext to attack Konoha!"

"That's right. Besides discussing how to deal with the Akatsuki, which has already obtained all eight tailed beasts, at the conference, there's another matter: forcing you to issue permission to Sasuke!"

"Uchiha Sasuke is, after all, a rogue ninja of Konoha. The fact that we've kept his affairs under wraps for so long is already the limit, not to mention that he joined Akatsuki and attacked a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure. Under these circumstances, if I continue to vouch for him, it could very well trigger a war between Konoha and Kumogakure. This would be unacceptable for Konoha, which is still reeling from the shadow of war. So... I'm sorry!" Tsunade pondered for a moment before offering her answer tactfully.

"Tsunade, you don't need to apologize. If it weren't for your arrangement to prevent the situation from escalating, Naruto and the others might not have been able to wait until this moment. I just hope that you can bring Naruto and Sakura to this Five Kage Summit so that they can do their best in the meeting."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know about their bond with Uchiha Sasuke, but that's precisely why I'm worried they won't be able to control their emotions during the meeting."

"Tsunade, please have faith in them both. They have grown into extremely outstanding ninjas!"

"... You're right, they're already excellent ninjas!"
