"Mm, I know."
Wuye nodded.
But Konan seemed worried. "The Akatsuki under Nagato's leadership is completely different from before. It's like it has fallen from one end of the light entirely into darkness. Is that really okay?"
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him," Wuye reassured her.
Konan reached out and touched his chin. "I know you're powerful, but what if Nagato obtains all nine tailed beasts? Can you still control him?"
"My strength will keep growing too..."
Wuye smiled and held her damp, delicate hand.
The tailed beasts seemed extremely important in the current ninja world, but after witnessing power at the Sage of Six Paths' level, they would realize that tailed beasts were merely little animals to be toyed with at will...
