"I'm telling you, stop working with that masked man before it's too late, or you won't even know what killed you! You'll drag Konan into it, too! That's enough. I've said all I have to say. Whether you listen is up to you!" Having said his piece, Hatake Ziyan stopped lecturing Nagato.
Nagato sank into thought at Hatake Ziyan's words. He stood motionless, saying nothing.
"Konan! This is for you!" Hatake Ziyan took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Konan took it and examined it curiously.
"It contains a wisp of my will. If you run into danger you can't handle, just crush it, and I'll come save you right away!" Hatake Ziyan paused, then added, "If Nagato refuses to change his mind and gets into trouble, don't use this to contact me! Even if I come, I won't help you!"
"Oh, all right! Thank you, Lord Ziyan!" Konan said happily.
"Nagato, think it over carefully! For Konan's sake, consider whether you should still follow your original plan!" With that, Hatake Ziyan vanished from the spot!
Watching Zhang Ziyan disappear, Konan glanced at the spot where Hatake Ziyan had just stood, looking a little disappointed.
"Nagato, are you still going to stick to your plan?" Konan asked, staring blankly at the Jade Talisman in her hand.
Nagato was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes! I believe the Ten-Tails' power can subdue everyone!"
"Then how are you going to capture the Nine-Tails? He's in Konoha! Lord Ziyan protects that place!" Konan asked.
"The Nine-Tails?" Nagato looked at Konan. "Isn't Naruto, who defected from Konoha, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? He only has half, but that will be enough!"
"All right! Then when do we start collecting the tailed beasts?" Konan continued.
"Let's wait a little longer!
