Konan: I Want to Be Involved

"Since no one's coming, I'll just stay lying here." He sank into the sofa, lounging like Ge You, and comfortably closed his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Konan her head and wondered who had been so anxious just now.

Naruto shifted his posture, suppressing his anxiety. He no longer intended to involve the innocent Nohara Nao, but the matter still needed to be handled.

He closed his eyes and quietly went through everyone in his mind. Hydrangea was too weak, Yakumo Kurama was too weak, Three Flowers of Kumogakure were too far away.

A powerful and trustworthy woman—it seemed that countless smiling faces flashed through his mind, finally settling on the face of a certain exquisite and domineering woman.

He opened his eyes and watched the Nikko outside the window sway gently with the curtains on the balcony. Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and the autumn colors were bright and beautiful.

Crack! Sparks flew as the gears whirred and sputtered.

The lighter flame ignited, lighting a cigarette and illuminating the face of a middle-aged man. His sharply defined features showed a hint of weariness as he leaned against the wall, turning his head to look elsewhere.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

"Has the matter been investigated?"

"We found out. The group that Lord Tsunade are a bunch of wandering ninjas. They took money from the Qinggang Clan." The figure bowed respectfully as he spoke.

"Lord Tsunade may not care about those trash, but our patriarch cannot." The man exhaled a puff of smoke and narrowed his eyes. "The young master's illness depends on Lord Tsunade; there can be no mistakes."

He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Find someone to deal with them. I don't want to see them in the Land of Lightning again, understand?"

"Understood." The shadowy figure slowly retreated.

In the brightly lit hall, several important figures from the Land of Lightning sat around, chatting and drinking amiably. Tsunade leaned against a small table, sipping her drink, while Shizune knelt beside her, pouring wine.

"Lord Tsunade, please drink less," Shizune whispered, lowering her voice.

"What are you talking about? I'm not drunk." Tsunade was flushed. She squinted her eyes, picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth with her red lips.

"Pour a little more." Her cheeks puffed out, making her look somewhat amusing.

Everyone present was focused on that direction, but no one dared to mock Tsunade. All Shinobi World renowned figures in the Medical Ninjutsu world had passed away; now, only she remained to carry the torch.

Ironically, Tsunade lost all interest in researching Medical Ninjutsu twenty years ago. The successive blows left her living in a daze.

You finally run into someone who's a little special, but this is what happens.

But Tsunade had become so lazy, spending twenty years eating, drinking and having fun, yet she unintentionally became a leading figure in the medical field. This can only be attributed to the support of her peers.

The reason for this situation is the regeneration grass. Besides Tsunade's own natural beauty, it is also related to the hierarchy of contempt among ninjas in the Shinobi World.

In these twenty years, there has been no shortage of geniuses, but almost 99% of them have devoted themselves to the development and study of Ninjutsu. They have scoffed at Medical Ninjutsu and are unwilling to waste time learning it.

Over time, the best rise higher and higher, just one step away from Ascension, while beginners struggle to even begin. If Tsunade had put in a little more effort, she might have reversed her aging process before Orochimaru.

The nobles of the Land of Lightning looked at Tsunade with increasing respect, as if she were a deity.

Money and status can bring them a superior quality of life, but the length of their life cannot be directly bought with money and status. Who doesn't want to live a few more years? Who doesn't want to end their suffering?

However, generally speaking, given Tsunade's background and strength, these nobles of the Land of Lightning couldn't afford to invite her. Only when Tsunade traveled the world could they invite Tsunade to visit by subsidizing her travel expenses.

After the banquet, both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Shizune helped Tsunade walk towards their lodgings, away from the banquet, where the surroundings were quiet and empty. Tsunade hung her head, her mind blank due to the alcohol.

Her temples throbbed involuntarily, a slight, tingling pain. A faint tinnitus made Tsunade somewhat irritable, her eyelids constantly opening and closing restlessly.

Back in the room, she Shizune turned on the lights and placed her on the sofa in the living room. The magnificent ceiling shimmered with a dazzling light like jewels, but Tsunade didn't even bother to glance at it.

Shizune walked to the balcony and pulled back the curtains with a whoosh. Outside the window, the starry sky was dazzling, the dark blue night sky studded with twinkling stars.

The soft light shone on Shizune, momentarily dazzling her. She looked up at the starry sky, a sense of awe washing over her.

"Lord Tsunade, do you think there are people like us beyond the heavens?"

"Um?"

Tsunade stumbled to her feet and walked to Shizune's side. Shizune was about to help her up when Tsunade and refused, leaning against the glass window of the balcony.

I squinted and looked up at the starry sky, still in that slightly tipsy state.

"The Outer Heavens, perhaps they are something hostile to us," Tsunade said casually, taking advantage of her drunkenness. "The unknown is always accompanied by danger."

After saying that, she paused for a moment, as if she had forgotten something important. She had been traveling the world, covering thousands of miles, yet she still felt unhappy.

What was forgotten?

Shizune noticed Tsunade's sudden silence and saw her blonde hair falling down on both sides of her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"What's wrong, Lord Tsunade?"

"It's nothing." She waved her hand and turned to go back to rest.

Shizune could clearly sense that Tsunade strangely, but instinctively assumed she was drunk and didn't ask too many questions. Only after watching Tsunade stagger into the bathroom did she speak up to remind her.

"Lord Tsunade, we need to adjust the water temperature first."

"I understand," Tsunade replied lazily.

Konohagakure.

Naruto and Konan stared at each other, an awkward silence falling between them, simply because Naruto had just revealed a rather outrageous plan.

Konan raised her head and stared at him with a complicated expression.

"Do we really have to do this?"

"Forehead"

"Isn't that a bit too extreme?"

"Well, I had no choice," Naruto said awkwardly. "Obito Uchiha was a madman; his only concern in life was Rin Nohara, so..."

"Is this the only way?" Konan asked again, unwilling to give up.

"There are other ways, but nothing as extreme as this." Naruto looked up at the ceiling and explained, "Since we want to make him suffer, let's go all the way with this extreme approach."

Upon hearing this, Konan also fell silent.

She hated Obito, wishing she could tear him to pieces. If it weren't for Obito Uchiha, they wouldn't be in this situation, constantly being fooled.

Obito Uchiha. Letting him die too easily would be too lenient.

The most vicious revenge plan she could think of was to torture him before defeating him. She looked up at Naruto and pursed her lips.

This person is indeed extreme, but this method...

"If you have a better idea, you can bring it up." Naruto said nonchalantly. For him, the plan was already set. If Konan didn't want to, he would ask Hydrangea or Yakumo Kurama.

Although the risks are higher, and there's no one to insure me, if the plan is exposed, I'll probably have to face Obito Uchiha with the Rinnegan myself.

But there are advantages, namely stability.

Naruto didn't think his plan was outrageous; on the contrary, he thought it was highly feasible. Simply put, it was about setting a trap for Obito, making him willingly sacrifice his life to revive Rin Nohara.

The key point is that this step is achievable; the Rinnegan can reverse life and death.

Those who have just died can be resurrected immediately. While those who have been dead for a long time cannot be resurrected, Naruto has a way to open the Yomi and directly reach the Pure Land.

If Naruto brings Rin Nohara's soul back to the Human World, Obito can sacrifice his life to revive her using the Rin Nohara Rinnegan. It's a life for a life; it's fair.

He knew very well how much Obito Uchiha cared about Rin Nohara, so he planned to find someone to impersonate Rin Nohara and put on a show. The show was basically a plot with some censorship added.

As for the real Rin Nohara after her resurrection, Naruto will naturally hide her away, never letting her know the truth. When she wakes up, she will meet Kakashi, who has become Hokage.

You will see a grave of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze; everything has changed.

However, she will never know that Obito Uchiha did not die after that, nor will she know who resurrected her. Obito Uchiha will forever wear a mask and die in darkness.

No one would know of Obito Uchiha's existence, as if he had never lived.

The plan, while sounding perfect, wasn't without flaws. First of all, Obito Uchiha wouldn't be that stupid; since he knew he might die, he would definitely have a backup plan.

Even Naruto would likely be overwhelmed at that time, and he would also need someone to help him put on this act. In other words, he needed a woman with considerable ability.

Moreover, the acting is real and genuine; there's no faking it.

Konan was horrified after hearing this. This person was truly extreme, tantamount to killing someone's spirit. She even wondered if Obito Uchiha before he died if the plan actually succeeded.

No one spoke in the living room. Naruto was waiting for Konan to make a decision, while he himself was silently pondering what Obito Uchiha was up to.

The curtains on the balcony were drawn, making the room dimly lit.

After a long while, Konan raised her head and spoke, seemingly about to say something. Seeing this, Naruto didn't have high hopes; not everyone could accept something like this.

Although he had signed Evil God Contract with Konan, he couldn't possibly ask her for anything in this matter. At the last moment, Naruto changed his mind.

"Never mind, you."

I promise you.

"Huh?" Naruto was stunned, then glanced at her again. "Have you thought this through?"

"I've thought it through, there's nothing to worry about." Konan shifted her position on the sofa, clearly not as relaxed as she said.

"Really not?" Naruto clicked his tongue. "Your legs are shaking, do you want to control them a little?"

Konan: "."

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, and said solemnly.

"I want to see that man die, I wish I could tear him to pieces, I absolutely cannot stand aside."

Upon hearing this, Naruto blinked, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just a desire for a sense of participation?" However, this was the first time he had ever heard of someone wanting this kind of participation.

To put it bluntly, Naruto has already finalized his plan. He lacks nothing except an accomplice, and that accomplice will definitely be chosen from among his own people.

Hydrangea, Yakumo Kurama, and Konan all signed Evil God Follower Contract Naruto, meaning they would never betray him and there was no need to worry too much.

If Konan to do it, that would be convenient. The two of them working together could not only handle the matter flawlessly, but also completely subdue Obito Uchiha.

If she doesn't want to do it, he won't force her, so she shouldn't get involved.

He asked Konan's opinion out of respect. After all, could it not be done if she didn't want to? Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama were indeed a bit weak and the risk was a bit higher, but he could make preparations to remedy the situation.

It's all up to Konan's own choice; if you're not going to do it, then don't get involved.

He didn't need a third helper; more people would only cause him trouble. If the plan to destroy Obito's heart failed, all his efforts would be meaningless; he simply wanted Obito to die in agony.

Seeing Naruto's hesitant expression, Konan had already given up hope. He had even already planned how to find Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama, who were still in Kusagakure, and what to say about them.

After all, this requires pushing one's limits, so it's normal for Konan to be hesitant.

To his surprise, Konan agreed immediately, leaving him momentarily stunned. It wasn't until he heard her words that he came to his senses.

"Okay, it's settled then, but I still need to go over the details of the plan with you." Naruto turned to look out the window, his brow relaxing.

Konan nodded, but her hands, which were pressed behind her back, trembled slightly with nervousness. Although she knew it was for revenge, that crucial part of the plan still made her uneasy.

She had never done anything like that. Her innocent girlish affection turned into cold-blooded revenge after Yahiko's death, and she never even considered such things.

"We don't know when Obito Uchiha will arrive, but we should be prepared at any time," Naruto said. "First of all, we can't let him discover your existence, since you're already dead in his heart."

"So you shouldn't go out these few days, and it's best not to leave the house."

"Okay, but what if he senses my Chakra?" Konan asked, looking up at Naruto. "Obito Uchiha is very familiar with my Chakra; he can detect it as soon as he enters Konohagakure."

"He can't sense it. You're under the protection of the Evil God now," Naruto interrupted her. "That contract isn't entirely useless; at least it can shield your presence."

"As long as Obito Uchiha doesn't see you in person, you don't need to worry about being exposed."

"Mm." She nodded.

The two chatted for a while about the details of the first half of the plan, and decided that when Naruto and Obito made contact to prepare to revive Rin Nohara, Konan would be responsible for checking for potential dangers in the surrounding area.

"He definitely has a backup plan. He doesn't trust me, and I don't trust him," Naruto said. "There's one thing you should pay attention to: remember to change your clothes."

"Don't you need Transformation Jutsu?" she asked.

"No need, it'll be too obvious." He waved his hand in refusal. "I'll get you a set of Anbu uniforms."
