After some mutual comforting, Konan pushed Nagato back to Amegakure.
Ren's words were relayed to Konan by Nagato. The content was so outrageous that Konan couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
Nagato spoke first, and then the two fell silent.
The two of them couldn't come up with anything useful, but fortunately, with Konan by his side, Nagato didn't get too hung up on the issue.
The plan to attack Konoha and capture the Tailed Beast was naturally shelved; they couldn't even win a one-on-one fight, let alone anything else.
Nagato hasn't lost his fighting spirit. He was full of youthful chuunibyou back then, but he didn't realize that there are always people better than him. Now, after being beaten down by reality, Nagato has found a new goal.
There's no rush to consider how to achieve peace, because even if we come up with a solution, without the strength to back it up, it's all just empty talk.
Put aside any questions you can't figure out for now; the key is to focus on improving your skills and leveling up.
This battle also made Nagato realize his shortcomings, the most fatal of which was the way he allocated the Six Paths powers of the Rinnegan.
They may be invincible in ordinary times, but they become utterly powerless when faced with a truly strong opponent.
Nagato chose to reclaim the power of the Six Paths, but hesitated for a long time at Deva Path Pain. In the end, Nagato did not Rotation.
Apart from the power of the Deva Path, Rinnegan reclaimed the other five of the six Nagato of the Six Paths's abilities along the way.
The reason why he kept the power of the Deva Path was actually no different from the reason why Nagato had always presented himself as the Deva Path.
The dream inherited from Yahiko must be realized in Yahiko's identity.
Besides continuing to explore the Rinnegan's abilities, Nagato's experience of killing Suikazan Fuguki gave Nagato new ideas.
Konoha, Hokage's Office.
It was already close to the end of the workday, and with Shisui by his side, Ren naturally returned to Konoha early.
Ren dedicated worker, did not skip work. After returning to Konoha, he went to his office and diligently considered the overall situation of Konoha.
As it neared the end of the workday, Ren couldn't sit still any longer; his mind had already wandered off.
Thinking about his business trip today, Ren felt a pang of regret.
He once again protected the peace of the Shinobi World. Unlike previous wars, this time he nipped the seeds of war in the bud.
In order not to make it more difficult for the Akatsuki to capture the Tailed Beast in the future, Ren could not make this matter public.
Only a few people involved knew about his great achievements, Ren could only revel in his own misery while feeling heartbroken.
The best warriors don't achieve great feats!
Ren made a decision: after he retires, he will definitely write an autobiography to record his enormous contributions to the peace of the Shinobi World.
After work, Ren went home alone, though on ordinary days he would be surrounded by bodyguards.
With so many outside ninjas in Konoha, Ren felt that as the Hokage, he had to set an example and sacrifice himself. His guards all accepted missions to keep watch throughout the village.
Yes, this matter has been widely publicized, highlighting the dazzling Will of Fire embodied in Ren.
Putting the safety of Konoha above their own safety earned them widespread praise from the villagers.
What could the few ninjas in the village who knew the inside story do besides clap and cheer?
That's why Ren ran into an acquaintance again on his way home.
"Uchiha Yushu, why are you not only refusing to provide assistance, but also obstructing the Akatsuki's actions?"
Black Zetsu's tone was unusually angry as he questioned Ren.
The Rinnegan can detect the presence of White Zetsu, while Black Zetsu is largely unaware of Nagato and Konan's whereabouts.
However, the other members of Akatsuki are not like Nagato. Kakuzu and Sasori, who do not have the Rinnegan, have been constantly monitored by White Zetsu.
When Black Zetsu learned that Nagato planned to launch Tailed Beast capture operation, one can imagine his excitement.
Black Zetsu, nicknamed "Little Chenxiang," is about to embark on his millennia-long plan to save his mother, especially while the One-Tail Jinchuriki is still in Konoha.
Black Zetsu had prepared a whole plan in his mind, and even intended to offer some substantial incentives in exchange for Ren's cooperation.
Black Zetsu, who infiltrated Konoha with White Zetsu, repeatedly revealed his presence, hoping to wait for Ren to arrive.
Instead of receiving the news, Ren received intelligence about the great war from the Land of Rain.
Nagato and Ren were both powerful White Zetsu, so they could only watch from afar and get a general idea of what was happening.
The final blow from the two of them was so grand that White Zetsu saw it all clearly.
Black Zetsu, who was well aware of the Rinnegan's abilities, knew from White Zetsu's intelligence that both of them were serious.
Black Zetsu idea why Ren and Nagato met or fought.
However, after Nagato returned to Amegakure, he took no further action, neither contacting the other Akatsuki members nor making any contact with Obito.
What exactly happened during the battle? Why did Nagato remain silent about capturing the Tailed Beast after his First Shinobi World War with Ren?
Black Zetsu knew nor wanted to know; Black Zetsu only knew one thing.
That meant his long-awaited plan to save his mother, which he had cherished for a thousand years, was temporarily ruined!
As for the instigator, there's no need to even consider it; who else could it be but Uchiha Yushu?
When the Shinobi World and Black Zetsu saw Ren again, he lost control of his emotions for the first time.
