Shihōin Naraku had been about to have Kabuto Yakushi leave with Akame when he suddenly remembered something and instructed him:
"Come back to Konoha with Akame after some time has passed."
"Yes!"
The war had only recently ended, and the entire Shinobi World had yet to settle down.
Whether in Konoha or the other countries and Shinobi Villages, there were far too many matters to handle.
So in the short term, they simply could not spare any attention for Kabuto Yakushi's affairs.
Kabuto Yakushi naturally understood this and immediately agreed.
He would choose a suitable time to appear again.
"All right, leave with Akame."
Kabuto Yakushi nodded, then turned to glance at Akame before leading the way away from the battlefield.
Akame followed him.
Before long, the two disappeared from Naraku's sight.
"With Akame in Konoha, I'll have secretly planted a pawn I can use."
There were some things Naraku was not suited to doing himself, but having Akame carry them out would be more convenient.
Of course, such situations would not arise very often.
Naraku was merely making preparations in advance.
Akame's original purpose had been to join the Akatsuki and keep an eye on Obito Uchiha's movements during the early stages of the war.
Now that the war was over, Naraku could choose to destroy the puppet Akame.
Then he could reclaim her abilities and keep them himself.
But with Naraku's current strength, Akame's abilities would no longer improve him in the slightest.
He was too strong!
Unless he obtained stronger rewards from the system's lottery, improving his strength at his current stage was far, far too difficult.
Unless he followed the Ōtsutsuki Clan's example, searching the universe for suitable planets, then planting God Trees to harvest energy.
Once he obtained Chakra Fruits, he could evolve without limit.
