Akame gazed at Black Zetsu with her beautiful crimson eyes and spoke calmly.
"There's no way to speed it up. Strengthening the remaining twenty thousand White Zetsu will take at least fifteen days!"
"If that's too slow for you, find someone else."
Black Zetsu opened his mouth, then swallowed the words he had been about to say.
Forget it. Fifteen days it is.
I'll put up with it!
Black Zetsu could do nothing about Akame either. After all, Shihōin Naraku stood behind her.
"Someone asked me to tell you that another Five Kage Summit will be held in the Land of Fire's capital city in seven days!"
Hm?
This information...
The sudden news caught Black Zetsu off guard.
He really knew nothing about this Five Kage Summit yet. Of course, something like this could not stay secret for long.
Even if Shihōin Naraku, who controlled Akame, did not tell Black Zetsu, he would find out sooner or later.
So Naraku did not care about leaking it and simply passed the news to him.
"Seven days?"
Black Zetsu lowered his head and thought for a moment. He did not doubt the information's authenticity in the slightest.
Akame would never pass along false information about something like this.
As for the "someone" Akame mentioned, both sides knew perfectly well who that was.
There were things Naraku could leak to Black Zetsu, but he would not explicitly reveal his identity. Black Zetsu clearly shared that tacit understanding.
The two sides maintained their alliance under these somewhat bizarre circumstances, outwardly amicable but inwardly at odds.
Having unexpectedly learned of the Five Kage Summit, Black Zetsu did not linger. He merely left a few instructions before quickly departing.
Clearly, he was going to discuss it with Obito.
Akame remained seated cross-legged atop the tree's crown.
