Nagato took a piece of information and read it carefully several times.

Finally, he handed the information to Xiaonan behind him and said with emotion: "The war between Konoha Village and Sand Village has just ended, and the war between Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village is about to begin."

"The flames of war can never be stopped. The ninja world is truly a miserable hell."

Nagato's sigh had no effect on Konan. This blue-haired girl had a broad vision. She only cared about the people and land around her.

The last time Nagato defeated the coalition forces of Iwagakure Village, Sand Village and Konoha Village, the sun returned to the sky of the Rain Country and peace was restored to the land of the Rain Country.

Seeing the people of the Rain Country repairing their houses and planting crops such as water wheat with peace of mind, and seeing the relieved smiles on their faces, Xiaonan was very satisfied.

"The ninjas from the big countries love to fight and kill. Let them be. As long as they don't come to our Rain Country to cause trouble, their life or death has nothing to do with us."

"Xiao Nan, you can't look at it like that."

Nagato disagreed with Konan's idea and explained: "The Rain Country is part of the Ninja World, and it is also one of the core points of the Ninja World. If the entire Ninja World is in chaos, the Rain Country will not be able to stay out of the world."

Xiaonan asked in surprise: "Isn't your record last time enough to intimidate them? How dare they come to the Rain Country?"

Nagato was stunned: "It shouldn't be possible..."

Xiaonan tilted his head and asked, "Then what are you worried about?"

Nagato thought about it and said, "I am not worried about anything. I just feel that since I saved the Rain Country, I should also stand up and save the entire Ninja World."

"no!"

Konan immediately yelled, "Nagato! Absolutely not! Your power is too great. The last time you used your full strength, you almost lost it yourself. Have you forgotten?"

Nagato couldn't help but frowned and said, "Are we just going to watch the Ninja World War continue? Konan, have you forgotten Yahiko's dream?"

"If Yahiko were still alive now and had my power, would he watch the people of other countries in the ninja world being devastated by war and do nothing?"

When Konan heard Yahiko's name, her firm will to oppose softened.

She lowered her head, tears falling one by one, and said in a sobbing voice: "But, Nagato, what about you? Every time you use your full strength, you are at risk of death. I don't want to lose you."

"I, I have no other way to ask for that kind of life-saving elixir anymore."

Nagato laughed, "Don't worry, Konan, I'm not a lunatic who would seek death. I've already found a solution to my physical problem."

He looked at the corner of the room, at the darkness in the corner, and said, "Come out, Jue."

"Yes, Nagato-sama."

The black and white fusion emerged from the shadows on the ground, saluted respectfully to Nagato, and then saluted and greeted Konan with daily courtesy: "Hello, senior."

Konan didn't buy it. She stood in front of Nagato, staring at Black and White Zetsu. In the cracks on her cheek, layers of explosive talismans unfolded like a book.

After confirming that Bai Hei had not made any unusual movements, she asked, "Who are you?"

Black and White Zetsu replied respectfully: "I am a new member who has just joined the Akatsuki organization. You can call me by my name - Zetsu."

Konan asked without even turning his head, "Nagato?"

Nagato smiled and replied, "Don't be so nervous, Konan. He definitely doesn't mean any harm."

"You should have discovered that Jue's ability to hide is extraordinary. He met with me a few days ago and had a private conversation with me."

"If there was something wrong with him, something would have happened here a long time ago."

Black and White Zetsu smiled and said, "Lord Nagato, you are joking. Your strength is the strongest in the ninja world. If I dare to have any bad intentions towards you, I will be crushed to death by you."

Konan relaxed a little, but she still asked cautiously: "I really can't feel his breath, Nagato, can you sense it?"

Nagato nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Konan, nothing can be hidden from my pair of samsara eyes."

"Ze's concealment is indeed unprecedentedly powerful, but nothing can escape my eyes."

After hearing Nagato's affirmative answer, Konan was finally relieved. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then retreated to Nagato's side.

Then she said to Zetsu, "Since Nagato trusts you, I will believe you."

Hei Bai Jue smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Senior Xiao Nan."

Nagato smiled and said, "Ze is a very thoughtful person. He is not a ninja, but he has mastered the power of chakra. He is not only good at concealing his own aura, but also developed very interesting ninjutsu tools."

"This ninjutsu tool developed by Zetsu is very useful to me. His intelligence ability is also very valuable. The most important thing is that his dream is peace in the ninja world, true peace."

"That's why I accepted him to join Akatsuki. He became the first new member to be recruited after Akatsuki was reborn from the ashes."

Xiaonan asked curiously: "What exactly is this ninja tool, and how can it help you?"

Black and White Zetsu immediately answered first: "This is an anthropomorphic doll developed based on Wood Release. It can be worn like clothes, providing chakra and vitality support to the owner, and even allowing the host to use Wood Release Ninjutsu."

Xiaonan was immediately shocked: "Wood Release? That's the signature ninjutsu of Konoha Village. Can your ninja tools have such an effect?"

Black and White Zetsu immediately waved his hands: "Senior Konan, you must not say that. My ninja tools are not as powerful as the Wood Release of Konoha Village. At most, I can create wood and manipulate trees."

"It's completely different from the powerful bloodline limit of the Konoha Village's Wood Release that can destroy the heavens and the earth."

Black and White Zetsu pretended to be extremely frightened and said fearfully: "If the Konoha ninja knew that my ninja tool had the power of Wood Release, I would definitely be found and killed by the Konoha ninja."

Nagato snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Ze, I have told you long ago that you will not be in any danger here with me. If the ninjas of Konoha dare to cause trouble for you, I will kill them all."

Black and White Zetsu deliberately showed his distrust of Nagato, and said tremblingly: "But...but the Wood Release Ninja of Konoha Village is not as powerful as a ninja."

"I've been to the Sand Village. He turned the entire village into a primeval forest. Until now, those big trees have not been knocked down by the Sand Village ninjas. It's simply a miracle."

"If Konoha Village sends this terrifying ninja to the Hidden Rain Village..."

"That's enough, Jue!"

Nagato interrupted Zetsu's chatter without any hesitation and said to him: "The Wood Release Ninja of Konoha Village is nothing but a god. I am the one and only true God in the Ninja World. The only one!"

Xiaonan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Nagato's shoulder and reminded him: "Nagato..."

Nagato took a few deep breaths and explained to Xiaonan: "I am not wrong. Your Emperor of Heaven is not in the Ninja World. Of course, I am the only true God in the Ninja World..."

This childish explanation made Xiaonan laugh and cry.

"You should be respectful to His Majesty. How can you be so shameless?"

Nagato still said indignantly: "The Emperor of Heaven can do miraculous things, and I can also create miraculous new terrain at will. I am no worse than Him."

This time Xiaonan didn't bother to say anything to him and just looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

After being stared at for a long time, Nagato finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, I will try my best to respect His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven in the future."

The conversation between Nagato and Konan left Black Zetsu confused.

He was thinking in his mind: Who is the Emperor of Heaven and what is God?

Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, has reached the threshold of the Six Paths level in terms of power, as evidenced by the black stick made by Nagato.

Having mastered the power of the Six Paths, it is completely understandable if Nagato calls himself a god.

Not all of us have enough insight to know the difference between being a god and being powerful.

However, the god that Nagato can acknowledge must not be an ordinary being.

In particular, Black Zetsu could hear that Nagato was very confident in his own strength and thought that he was stronger than the god he mentioned, but he also admitted that the miracles performed by that god were beyond his ability.

[Such an existence really sounds like a god. Could it be that the god that was wiped out by my mother and Yuyi has appeared again? ]

[God is also a force, at least it is stronger than the power of ninjas. I wonder if I can use it? ]

Seeing Nagato lower his head, Konan stopped trying to take matters into her own hands. She turned to look at Black and White Zetsu and asked, "Take out your Wood Release Ninja Tools so I can see them."

Black and White Zetsu nodded in agreement, and then in front of the two of them, began to split his own existence, turning into Black Zetsu and White Zetsu on the spot.

"The humanoid figure I named White Zetsu is the Wood Release power creature I created."

Xiaonan looked at Black Zetsu and said, "Is this also called Zetsu? Then I will call you Black Zetsu from now on."

Black Zetsu shrugged and said indifferently: "Senior, you can call me that. I have no problem with that."

Konan moved forward and examined it carefully, confirming that it was a magical ninja tool, but she still wanted to experience it for herself.

"This was torn from you. I don't want it."

Konan looked at Black Zetsu and demanded, "Get me a brand new White Zetsu."

Black Zetsu deliberately put on a desperate look, turned to look at Nagato, and begged: "Leader..."

Nagato laughed and said, "Konan, I made this request two days ago, and I have already asked for one for you, but Zetsu, oh, it takes time for Black Zetsu to create a new White Zetsu, so we all have to wait a little longer."

Xiaonan nodded and said, "Okay, wait a minute."

Nagato said: "In short, Black Zetsu is the first core member after the expansion of Akatsuki, but Akatsuki cannot have only three people."

"In order to achieve peace in the ninja world, we need more partners and stronger forces."

"Black Zetsu, you are the best at gathering intelligence. Help me find some powerful ninjas in the ninja world who do not belong to the five major ninja villages. I will recruit them into the Akatsuki organization based on your intelligence."

Black Zetsu merged with White Zetsu again, and then said respectfully: "As you command, Master Chief."

Nagato continued to make demands: "At the same time, you must not relax your monitoring of the direction of the war. I want to know the latest intelligence."

Black Zetsu nodded and replied, "Please rest assured, Chief, I will ensure that the information is accurate and timely."

But he still added: "In the entire ninja world, the only place I dare not go to is Konoha Village. The power of the Wood Release Ninja is too terrifying. I can't enter."

When Nagato heard this, a hint of anger and uncertainty suddenly ignited in his eyes.

Black Zetsu was silent and lurked right in front of him before he was discovered by him. Is the Wood Release Ninja of Konoha Village so powerful?

He couldn't help but ask, "You can sneak into the Hidden Rain Village and come to me, but you say you can't enter the Leaf Village. In your opinion, the power of that Wood Release Ninja is stronger than mine?"

Black Zetsu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, of course you are more powerful, but you know that my power is not that strong, I am just good at hiding."

"And my concealment ninjutsu is derived from the Wood Release ninjutsu, so I dare not enter the vicinity of the Wood Release ninja. He will definitely be able to sense my presence and will kill me without hesitation."

"Chief, I don't want to die yet. I still want to see the day when the ninja world is at peace."

Hearing Black Zetsu's words that hit right at his heart, Nagato's heart softened, and even Konan felt that Black Zetsu was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Nagato said, "Go and carry out my mission. As for the Wood Release Ninja from Konoha Village, one day I will personally deal with him."

"yes!"

After saying that, Black Zetsu walked to the corner of the house, sank into the darkness, and disappeared.

Xiaonan couldn't help but frowned, walked over and took a closer look, but found no trace at all.

She turned back to Nagato and asked, "Can you still see this guy?"

Nagato nodded slightly, and he looked at a certain angle in front of him on the right with his Rinnegan, his head moving slowly.

After waiting for a long time, he finally said, "Black Zetsu has left my sight. He is quite fast."

Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief. This dark weirdo's ability to conceal his breath was so strong that she couldn't detect him at all.

But as long as Nagato can see it, there will be no problem.

Konan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became nervous again. She looked at Nagato and asked, "What exactly happened, and which one of you are going to bring peace to the ninja world?"

Nagato suddenly decided to expand the Akatsuki organization and was seriously preparing to bring peace to the ninja world, which made Konan full of doubts.

She wandered with Nagato Yahiko, grew up together, and knew each other very well.

Even though Nagato's mentality changed drastically because of Yahiko's death, his personality did not change and he remained hesitant and indecisive.

For a situation like this to suddenly make him make up his mind, there must be a very important reason or even a specific plan.

Konan knows all the people Nagato has been in contact with recently, except for Black Zetsu, who suddenly appeared. It must be him who brought changes to Nagato.

So Xiaonan wants to ask carefully.

Nagato had nothing to hide from Konan, and when asked, he started telling her about the new information he had obtained from Black Zetsu, and the new plan he had designed based on it.

Xiaonan said word by word: "Final weapon plan?"

Nagato nodded and replied, "Yes, the Final Weapon Project."

"Since I defeated the ninja army of the three major ninja villages in the Rain Country, the Rain Country has gained peace. We can start to build the Rain Country and heal the war wounds of this country."

"Konan, a few years ago, after Yahiko led us to establish the Akatsuki organization and spread the idea of ​​peace, Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village also agreed with us and accepted our ideas."

"But in the end, Hanzo colluded with Konohagakure, betrayed us, and killed Yahiko."

"It's only now that I understand. Maybe it wasn't Hanzo who took the initiative to betray us, but the power of Konoha Village was too strong, so Hanzo was forced to accept Konoha Village's demands."

"Through these two things, I truly understand that peace needs to be guaranteed by strength."

"Fifty years ago, the chaos in the ninja world was even more terrible than it is now, but the first Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the entire ninja world and was known as the God of Ninja. After he founded Konoha Village, didn't he maintain peace for more than a decade?"

"Senju Hashirama is only known as the God of Ninja, but I have truly mastered the power of God. What he can do, I can definitely do too."

Konan nodded in agreement, but said worriedly, "But after Hashirama Senju died, the ninja world was still in chaos, and Master Jiraiya said that the scale and destructive power of the wars in the Ninja Village era were even more exaggerated than those in the Warring States era."

Nagato also nodded and said, "So I can't put all my hopes for peace on myself."

"Although I have mastered the power of God, I am not an immortal god. You and I will both die one day."

Xiaonan said, "So you came up with this 'Final Weapon Plan'?"

"I remember that Jiraiya once said that the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, also placed his hopes on powerful weapons, so he captured the tailed beasts of the ninja world, and..."

Nagato continued, "And Hashirama Senju distributed the tailed beasts to the five major ninja villages at the time, hoping to maintain a balance of power between the ninja villages and thus maintain peace in the ninja world."

Nagato's voice got louder, and he said bitterly: "The problem lies in the balance!"

"Among the five great ninja villages, Takigakure declined rapidly. Even though it had the Seven-Tails, it still became a small ninja village. Meanwhile, Sand Village rose rapidly and replaced Takigakure."

"If the five major ninja villages cannot guarantee their own strength, how can the balance between them be maintained?"

“Only by concentrating the strongest forces and forming a single irresistible power can we use this power to maintain peace.”

"So, my goal is: one weapon, one ninja village, one voice, and eternal peace."

Xiaonan was convinced, and she asked, "Nagato, how do we make this most powerful weapon?"

Nagato smiled and said, "Luckily, I have the best embryo for the final weapon, which is the Outer Path Demon Statue."

"What?"

Konan's eyes widened in surprise. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Nagato in disbelief.
