The loophole

As Two-Tails Matatabi quickly shook his head.

Such a thought is truly terrifying.

However, if she really is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, it is very likely that she would be left to fend for herself without any restraint. After all, the existence of these Nine Tailed Beasts is entirely due to the life force that the Sage of Six Paths has given them.

Although she wasn't sure if the Sage of Six Paths still had the ability to take back their life characteristics and make them return to the form of Chakra.

However, she still harbored a deep fear of the Sage of Six Paths.

After a long silence, Nagato turned to Konan: "Konan, is what Kanami said right?"

Konan froze.

Whether it's right or wrong, she herself doesn't know.

She's only lived for a few decades; the exact time of the Sage of Six Paths' era hasn't even been passed down. It would be a miracle if she knew.

"Right...?"

"What do you mean, right?" Nagato asked, puzzled, but quickly realized what she meant.

"I understand now. The question you raised is one you yourself don't know the answer to!"

Konan nodded shyly, "Yes."

"Then why are you asking such random questions?"

Nagato was somewhat angry.

He had originally intended to ask Kanami some other questions.

For example, what is the name of one's eyes, and where did they come from?

And so, it was wasted by Konan.

If he asks, he can not only verify the truth, but also obtain valuable information.

However, it was obvious that he hadn't thought of that at first, otherwise he would have interrupted Konan to answer.

Without being interrupted, it was only during the silent contemplation after Kanami's answer that such a good idea came to mind.

"Alright, the ability to see through the river of time is extremely taxing on my Divine Power. Don't ask me any more questions. I didn't expect you to ask me so many questions at once. I thought you would only ask one."

After Kanami finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Konan.

He put on an expression that showed he was genuinely tired.

"I'm sorry, I believe you now." Konan bowed her head apologetically. "Also, thank you for not taking my previous disrespect to heart, and for not putting us on trial or handing us over to the Konoha higher-ups."

She went through everything that had happened before, apologized, and expressed her gratitude.

Kanami was taken aback by her rapid change of expression.

You can change your expression without getting pimples, right?

As expected of Jiraiya's disciple, he has mastered the essence.

"It's nothing," he waved his hand.

Hinata Hyuga blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Kanami.

"Kanami is so handsome..."

She stopped worrying about whether Kanami actually had the ability he claimed to have, and instead became captivated by Kanami's confident demeanor when answering questions.

He exuded an otherworldly aura that was very attractive to her, causing her gaze to remain fixed on Kanami.

"Kanami, since you know me so well, you must be very clear about my peace ideals as well, so I don't need to tell you anymore. Tell me, what's wrong with my peace ideals? And why am I a pawn?"

Nagato asked directly.

Kanami nodded. "Your peace ideals aren't entirely wrong; they have their merits."

"You want to use the Tailed Beast Weapon as the ultimate deterrent against all the villages, but the Tailed Beast Weapon plan itself was just a lie concocted by that Masked Man impersonating Madara Uchiha,"

"Once you've truly collected all the Tailed Beast, he and Black Zetsu from your organization will begin their campaign against you."

"That's a bit off-topic. These things aren't important. Even if Madara Uchiha and the others hadn't stopped you and allowed you to use the Tailed Beast Weapon to maintain balance in the Shinobi World according to your ideals, what would happen after you died?"

"Who do you think can replace you, take up the mantle of Akatsuki Organization, and continue this peace?"

At this point, Nagato interrupted Kanami, pointing at him with her finger. "Yes, you."

Kanami:??

"I'm not a member of the Akatsuki Organization."

"Then I'll bring you in. Kanami, join our Akatsuki Organization."

"No way, are you kidding me? I'm Konoha Ninja, and you just invaded our Konoha. Now you want me to join your Akatsuki Organization? Am I crazy?"

Kanami had no idea what Nagato was thinking.

Joining now would truly be considered treason, wouldn't it?

Bringing them to my place was already dangerous enough.

Hinata Hyuga nodded in agreement, "Yes, Feng Kanami treated you Kanami, yet you wanted to frame him for treason."

"In that case..." Nagato hesitated for a moment, then continued, "How about I step down and you become the leader of Akatsuki Organization?"

Konan / Hinata Hyuga:???

"Nagato, what are you thinking about?"

"Exactly, what are you thinking? How could Kanami possibly be because of..."

Hinata could finish speaking, Kanami nodded, "Being a leader? I've never been one before..."

Hinata Hyuga:???

"Kanami! You've actually started thinking about this?"

She looked at Kanami with a hint of reproach.

Kanami chuckled sheepishly, "Haha, I was just kidding. How could I possibly become one just because I've never done it before?"

Hinata thought about it carefully and realized it made sense...

After all, Kanami once had the opportunity to become the youngest Kage in the entire Shinobi World, but he refused.

If I had agreed back then, perhaps there wouldn't have been any Lady Tsunade in this story.

However, it is highly likely that Kanami will not possess the same Senjutsu Wood Release First, nor will she be able to cultivate her own Senjutsu power in Slug Forest, thus gaining the opportunity to Tenseigan.

Nagato's face immediately darkened:...

"Are you lying to me?"

Kanami: "Who told you to interrupt me? And if you really make me the Akatsuki Leader, I'll announce its disbandment the next second. Then your wish to help Yahiko achieve peace in the Shinobi World through Akatsuki Organization will be ruined."

"... Okay then."

Kanami returned to the topic of the concept of peace.

"After you die, the Shinobi World will once again be at war. The power of the Tailed Beast Weapon will be beyond the control of those who wield them, leading to a return to the current situation where large-scale wars occur every few decades, with frequent smaller conflicts."

Nagato was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do we break this?"

"It's actually very simple. What you've done is just incomplete," Kanami paused, then continued, "Your peace ideals lack a unified approach."

"With so many ninja villages existing, each large and small, they are all independent entities. Each individual naturally wants to fight for its own interests, which leads to wars. What if all the ninja villages were one single village?"

Nagato's heart pounded upon hearing this.

It's not that he couldn't think of it, but that he dared not think of it.

Unifying all ninja villages means unifying the entire Shinobi World!
