When Black Zetsu and Obito caught up with the Konan the Wanderer again, they found a corpse lying on the ground. It was their target for this mission, the organization's traitor. But the two of them were filled with shock. How could this person have become a traitor to the organization?
The two men were all too familiar with the person lying on the ground, and their faces were filled with shock, especially after seeing his Rinnegan. Obito and Black Zetsu both became unsettled, their eyes meeting as they secretly exchanged information.
" Obito, do you think this person is Nagato?"
"Probably, after all, only Nagato has the Rinnegan, and he even uses it to control the Rinnegan Deva Path. This is the Deva Path's body."
Just as the two were still contemplating whether to Rinnegan, the Konan the Wanderer naturally noticed their earlier actions.
"Hey, did you see that? My mission is complete."
Konan the Wanderer, pointing to the Pain the Wanderer lying on the ground, addressed Obito and Black Zetsu.
Obito was clearly taken aback, completely baffled as to what the Konan the Wanderer was doing. She had completed her mission, so why was she asking him for help?
But he soon found out, because Konan summoned a red umbrella and flew into the air under the shocked gazes of Obito and Black Zetsu. She swung it fiercely at the lifeless corpse on the ground, the slash was huge, and red spider lilies instantly appeared, covering a great distance and directly enveloping the Pain the Wanderer's corpse, making it impossible for him to dodge the slash, even though he had no way to dodge it at all.
Black Zetsu had already realized what Konan the Wanderer was up to, but by the time he tried to stop her, it was too late.
In Black Zetsu's despairing gaze, an abyss appeared, swallowing the red spider lilies scattered on the ground along with the Pain the Wanderer. At that moment, the earth abruptly closed up, disappearing completely.
Black Zetsu was completely dumbfounded. His initial hope of trying his luck had plummeted to rock bottom, or rather, completely vanished. In his mind, Black Zetsu was cursing Konan the Wanderer.
"This wasteful woman, I'm speechless! That's the Rinnegan! Do you even know what the Rinnegan is?"
Although Black Zetsu was cursing inwardly, he still had a smile on his face, truly living up to the saying: smiling on the surface, cursing on the inside.
Even though his heart was in turmoil, Black Zetsu's expression remained unreadable, as if he were a peerless master.
As for Obito, he hasn't yet realized the power of the Rinnegan, so he's only guessing whether the person lying on the ground is Nagato or Yahiko. He has no idea that he just encountered a pair of Rinnegan. The rarity and value of the Rinnegan goes without saying, right?
The conditions for its formation are extremely demanding. The Rinnegan, also known as the Eye of God, requires the reincarnation of Indra who possesses Mangekyō Sharingan Mangekyou Sharingan, and the transplantation of a body or cells that belong to the reincarnation of Asura, in order to have a chance to awaken it. That is why the Rinnegan is considered so precious.
Seemingly sensing Black Zetsu's displeasure, Konan the Wanderer glanced back at him.
"What, you have a problem with that?"
"I... you... he... sigh!"
Black Zetsu stammered for a long time, finally managing only a sigh. He not only felt the pain in his flesh, but also the pain in his heart. That was the Rinnegan! Did they think it was some kind of cabbage? Just to destroy it like that?
"Hmph, if you have nothing to say, then shut up."
Konan the Wanderer folded her red umbrella, glanced at Black Zetsu Black Zetsu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and then flew away, leaving only Black Zetsu and Obito behind.
Only after Black Zetsu confirmed that Konan the Wanderer had gone far away did he speak to Obito.
"Hey, Obito, why didn't you stop her from ordering?"
"Huh? Who? Me?"
Obito pointed to himself, suddenly finding it somewhat amusing. They were all just extras, why risk their lives like that?
Black Zetsu knew exactly what Obito was thinking, and could only helplessly explain the importance of the Rinnegan to him. After that, Obito fell silent again.
"Hey, Obito, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hey, Obito?"
" Obito? Are you even listening to me?"
"When faced with a difficult question, they fall silent."
It's not that Obito was silent; it's just that he had only recently realized the importance of the Rinnegan, and his attention had been completely drawn to the face of the Pain the Wanderer. After all, in the Shinobi World, the Rinnegan only existed in Nagato's body; all others were copies. So he was also wondering whether the one he had just encountered was the real one or a copy.
Therefore, Obito could only tell Black Zetsu what was on his mind.
"Hiss, if you analyze it that way, there's some truth to it. But the question is, does Nagato even exist in this world?"
"There should be, right? After all Konan and Yahiko have both appeared, so how could Nagato be absent?"
That makes sense.
On the edge of a cliff, a man gazes into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
Before long, a woman dressed in a white kimono appeared, holding a white oil-paper umbrella. White origami cranes circled and fluttered around her, like soldiers guarding a queen.
"The plan succeeded?"
"Yes, the plan was a success."
"Okay, Konan, thank you very much this time."
The man turned around, and it was none other than Pain the Wanderer, whose body had just been destroyed by Konan the Wanderer. He was looking at Konan the Wanderer with gratitude. What had happened earlier was, of course, something the two of them had planned in advance, something they wanted to show others.
Konan the Wanderer didn't continue the conversation on this topic; she just looked at Pain the Wanderer with a worried expression.
" Yahiko, are you sure you're okay with doing this?"
" Konan, I've told you so many times, don't call me Yahiko, call me Pain, that's my real name now."
Because of a matter of how he addressed someone, Pain the Wanderer's tone suddenly became agitated. As if realizing that his tone was inappropriate, Pain the Wanderer immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry, Konan, I was just too excited."
Konan the Wanderer, didn't speak, but simply nodded to indicate that she was alright.
"It's alright, Pain. So, are you going to search for those so-called outsiders next? Do they really exist?"
Instead of getting angry at Konan the Wanderer's questioning, Pain the Wanderer patiently explained to her:
" Konan, you know, sometimes my eyes can see things from the future, and in that future, it was those strangers who saved our world."
"So, Konan, they really exist. They're from another world, completely different from the people here. You can tell they're very easy to tell apart. If you encounter them, you must tell me. They're really important. That leader is getting more and more paranoid. If this continues, he'll destroy the world sooner or later."
Finally, Konan the Wanderer watched as Pain the Wanderer left, then transformed into a pile of white origami cranes and flew into the horizon...
