Tsunade took all the Black Rods Ronglin had given her, intending to hand them over to Minato. If Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to revive certain people, these things would be needed.
Of course, even with the Black Rods, it was not a hundred percent foolproof. They could be pulled out. Still, as long as the people revived through Impure World Reincarnation were restrained with the Black Rods, they could then be sealed away. Expecting Orochimaru to undo the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu himself was unlikely. Even if he would, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito might not agree.
However, completely controlling Orochimaru would not be easy. At least, that was what Ronglin believed. Orochimaru's ability to escape was first-rate.
"You obviously wanted to become commander-in-chief. Why did you go against your own wishes and refuse?"
After Tsunade and the others left, Konan emerged from behind where Ronglin was staying.
"I did, but that doesn't mean I had to do it. Becoming commander-in-chief and directing an army of over a hundred thousand ninja in battle isn't something an ordinary person can handle. As a man, of course I'd have such thoughts, but having those thoughts doesn't mean I truly have to become the Allied Forces Commander-in-Chief..."
Ronglin smiled faintly. Looking at Konan, who had changed into a different outfit and looked refreshingly striking, he asked with a smile, "Have you made up your mind? Even if it means becoming a pet I keep for the rest of your life?"
"As long as you can kill Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu!! I will never regret it!!!"
Konan understood clearly that agreeing to this meant she, Konan, would become Uchiha Ronglin's private property for the rest of her life. Calling her a pet he kept would not be an exaggeration.
But
