It turns out that this person named Yusuke is actually Aizen, a member of the Light Organization.
His purpose was unknown, but he appeared beside Yahiko and the others, seemingly preparing some kind of conspiracy.
"We're halfway done. Now, all we have to do is wait for our next meeting with them." Looking at Jörmungandr emerging from the cabin, Yusuke —no, Aizen— revealed his signature gentle smile and said with a grin.
" Aizen- san, I don't quite understand. Why would you abandon your experiments and go to the Land of Rain to mentor Yahiko?" Jörmungandr bewildered. Their organization had a mountain of problems right now, and Aizen was wasting his time being a mentor to Yahiko. What was the point?
Besides, how could Yahiko be more valuable than Nagato? Even if he were to prepare some kind of plan, shouldn't it be aimed at Nagato, who has Nagato Rinnegan? What's the point of keeping an eye on Yahiko?
"Because I want to see if there will be any changes in the Akatsuki after my influence, and this trip isn't just about giving Yahiko guidance. I haven't missed the value of Nagato and Konan either." As he spoke, he raised his clenched right fist, then opened his right hand, revealing long blue and red hair in his hand. It was obviously Konan and Nagato.
Aizen obtained this hair seemingly unintentionally while talking to Nagato and Konan.
As for the value of Nagato and Konan, those familiar with the original Jörmungandr surely know. Whether it's Konan's later display of Paper Release capable of taking on Sasori Third Kazekage, or the Uzumaki Bloodline capable of carrying Madara Uchiha Rinnegan, these are all excellent and rare materials.
"Oh! As expected of Aizen- san, even Aizen casual move won't leave empty-handed. He's truly reliable." Jörmungandr praised Aizen upon seeing the special material in his hand.
But then he asked curiously, "But Aizen- san, is your purpose really that simple? I have a feeling you have ulterior motives."
"That's right. My purpose wasn't simply to see what changes would occur within the Akatsuki. What truly caught my eye was Nagato's eye— the Rinnegan. It truly contains power close to the myriad things of the universe, and anyone who sees it would yearn for it. It is also the guiding light on our path to achieving the Six Paths."
This ultimate power, unlocked by the fusion of Indra's Chakra Asura Chakra, is the best direction for Aizen to study.
If he can thoroughly understand this mystery, then achieving the Six Paths will truly be just around the corner.
That's why Aizen went to such great lengths to get close to Yahiko. Only by becoming familiar with Yahiko could he have the opportunity to observe the power of the Rinnegan up close and explore Rinnegan mysteries.
"But Aizen- san, you should know that there are definitely White Zetsu around Nagato. Madara Uchiha won't allow his eyes to be damaged in any way. So your plan to take Nagato's eyes will be very difficult to achieve." After hearing Aizen's words, Jörmungandr that Aizen wanted to find an opportunity to take Nagato's eyes, so she reminded him.
Before one's true form reaches the level of Madara Uchiha, provoking Madara is not a good choice. Although Madara is currently in his old age, with the Ten-Tails ' body Demonic Statue of the Outer Path prolonging his life, no one knows what kind of power he will ultimately unleash.
It would be troublesome if it affected the main body's plans.
"How could I possibly ignore such a question? I don't want to seize the Rinnegan right under Madara Uchiha's nose; I simply want to experience the power of the Rinnegan up close."
"I suspect that Nagato, who has absorbed the power of the Rinnegan, might be affected by the power emanating from Rinnegan."
"Just like Madara Uchiha grew a human face due to the influence of Hashirama Cells, Naruto Uzumaki grew Six Paths whiskers due to the influence of Nine-Tails."
Therefore, I speculate that high-quality Chakra might cause significant changes in the human body, making the body more adaptable to such Chakra.
Therefore, I want to stay by Nagato's side and see if the Rinnegan alters Nagato body. Then we can conduct experiments in that direction and ultimately obtain a body capable of adapting to all things. Perhaps even after Madara Uchiha dies, we might have the real opportunity to experience the profound mysteries of the Rinnegan firsthand."
As Aizen spoke, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes, making him appear incredibly unsettling.
"I see. No wonder Aizen is so concerned about you. Understanding the Rinnegan without alerting Madara Uchiha does require a lot of effort."
Now, Jörmungandr truly understood why Aizen had done what he did.
Indeed, the power of the Rinnegan is something that everyone who knows Hokage would covet. Its godlike power controls life and death, and anyone who knows about it would yearn for it.
For those who aspire to attain the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Rinnegan is even more crucial. With the Rinnegan as a beacon, combined with knowledge gained from other sources, they will one day achieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"So I'll be disappearing for a while longer, and you and Setsugetsu will be in charge of the organization during that time."
"Don't worry, Aizen- san. But you said the plan was only half complete. What about the next part? Is there anything we can do to cooperate?" At this point, Jörmungandr no longer had any doubts or dissatisfaction with Aizen's plan; on the contrary, he seemed to agree with it.
"No need. We already have excellent candidates for the next phase of the plan."
Aizen gazed in the direction of Konoha, his mind replaying Kōki's words about Danzo bringing Root to cause trouble for the Light Organization.
If help is needed, wouldn't Danzo's people be the best tool?
"Alright, enough about me. Where's Setsugetsu? I remember Setsugetsu was with you before you left. Where is she now?" Aizen asked, looking at Jörmungandr who was all alone and Setsugetsu was not by his side.
Before he went to the Land of Rain, he told Jörmungandr and Setsugetsu to wait for him to return, as there were other things to do afterward, but now only Jörmungandr there.
Given Setsugetsu's tranquil nature, she wouldn't run off like Jörmungandr. So, he was somewhat surprised that only Jörmungandr there this time, while Setsugetsu was not.
"Oh, Setsugetsu, she's probably having fun with a bunch of uninvited guests right now," Jörmungandr said mysteriously in response to Aizen's question.
