Naruto: Swarm System

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Rinnegan Konan



The next morning.

Shishou woke up and stretched, yawning. As soon as he finished yawning, he noticed Rin lying on the bed, smiling at him.

Seeing Shishou awake, Rin cheerfully said, "Shishou, I've made breakfast. Hurry up and eat."

Shishou sat up and hugged Rin, giving her a kiss. "Rin, you're so considerate."

"Get up quickly, or the food will get cold."

Rin giggled and escaped Shishou's embrace, urging him to get up. She helped him dress and they went to eat breakfast together.

At the dining table, Shishou said, "I need to go to Amegakure to check on the Akatsuki. Do you want to come with me?"

After being away for several years, Shishou wanted to see how Konan was managing the Akatsuki.

Rin shook her head. "I'll wait here. I can't let the traitor find out about me."

Due to Kushina's influence, Rin also referred to Obito as a traitor. She knew she was key to dealing with him, so for the past two years, she mostly stayed in Ryūchi Cave, Fire Source City, and the laboratory.

She only went out in disguise with Shishou.

Shishou nodded. "I'll be back soon."

"Okay," Rin nodded happily.

After finishing breakfast, Shishou got up and left for Amegakure.

Rin cleaned up the dishes and headed to Hyuga Natsu's room to browse her collection of unusual uniforms.

Rin had a good relationship with Natsu and had learned some tips from her on how to please Shishou.

However, seeing the revealing maid outfits in Natsu's wardrobe still gave her pure heart a little shock.

Amegakure, Tower.

Shishou appeared and saw Nagato standing by the window, looking down from the tower.

Approaching Nagato and glancing down with him, Shishou asked, "Where's Konan?"

Although Nagato had banished him to a thousand years ago, Shishou didn't hate him. In fact, he was somewhat grateful.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened the Rinnegan now, nor successfully won over Kaguya.

Plus, Nagato was Konan's only remaining family in the world, so Shishou didn't want to harm him.

Nagato coughed a few times before replying, "Konan is handling Amegakure's affairs, but she should come as soon as she knows you're here."

Just as he finished speaking, Konan's figure appeared in the distance, flying toward Shishou.

"You two talk. I'll leave now," Nagato said, having nothing to discuss with Shishou.

When Konan reached Shishou, she glanced at Nagato's departing figure, then looked at Shishou and said, "Shishou, ever since you defeated Nagato, he's been a bit obsessed. Please understand."

"It's fine," Shishou waved his hand, indicating Konan didn't need to worry.

As the victor, he should show leniency towards the defeated. Besides, without the Rinnegan, Nagato couldn't cause much trouble.

Then, Shishou hugged Konan and asked, "How are you finding the Rinnegan?"

Leaning into Shishou's embrace, Konan said, "I've become proficient with the Six Paths techniques and am now trying to integrate paper release, inorganic reincarnation, and Rinnegan abilities."

Thanks to Shishou helping her awaken Hashirama's power and the White Snake Sage's bloodline, Konan's strength had grown significantly over the years. She had successfully mastered Sage Mode, surpassing Nagato without Six Paths power.

Moreover, the Rinnegan had greatly enhanced her resistance to genjutsu, and combined with her natural immunity to physical attacks through Dance of the Shikigami, she was nearly invincible until her chakra was depleted.

However, with Hashirama's power and the White Snake Sage's bloodline, and the ability to activate Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode, Konan now had one of the largest chakra reserves among Shishou's companions. Depleting her chakra would be extremely difficult.

This was the main reason Shishou chose to give Konan the Rinnegan.

Hearing this, Shishou nodded, saying, "If you have any questions about the Rinnegan, feel free to ask me."

After spending so many years with Kaguya, Shishou's understanding of the Rinnegan far exceeded that of Nagato and Madara.

Konan was stunned, looking at Shishou in surprise. Could Shishou really understand the Rinnegan that well?

As the question formed in her mind, she suddenly turned to Shishou. Had he already awakened...?

Seeing Konan's shocked expression, Shishou's pupils transformed into the Rinnegan pattern with three tomoe.

These three tomoe were a gift from Kaguya before he left.

Seeing the Rinnegan in Shishou's eyes, Konan muttered in shock, "It's really the Rinnegan, and with three tomoe..."

She had thought she was catching up to Shishou, ready to support him, but now she realized the gap between them had only widened.

Hiding the Rinnegan again, Shishou hugged the stunned Konan from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said, "This is my gain from this period. Soon, we can explore the Rinnegan's abilities together."

"But for now, let's discuss the Akatsuki."

Since the Akatsuki was now under Konan's control, he should maximize its value.

Konan nodded and began, "After you disappeared for a year, I successfully took over the Akatsuki. But then, Obito showed up at the time of your and Nagato's original battle and found out I had replaced Nagato."

"He tried to ambush me but failed. After that, he and the members he recruited vanished, likely preparing to leave the Akatsuki."

Hearing this, Shishou frowned in thought.

If Obito really intended to leave the Akatsuki, finding him for a surprise attack would be difficult.

Perhaps understanding Shishou's thoughts, Konan continued, "Don't worry about losing his trail. I've hidden the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and had Miroku seal it, isolating it from summoning. He should come to us."

Shishou gave Konan a thumbs up, smiling, "Konan, you've thought of everything."

With the Demonic Statue in their possession, Obito would have to come to them if he wanted to revive the Ten-Tails.

Konan had proven herself incredibly capable in handling these matters.

Then, Konan took Shishou's hand, saying, "Let me show you where the Demonic Statue is so you can find a better place to store it."

This way, she could complete the task Shishou had given her.
