Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

"Copy Ninja - Kakashi, Copy Ninja - Kakashi, Copy Ninja, Copy..."

Konan suddenly raised her head, looking at Uchiha Kakuyama in horror:

"Kakashi earned this title because one of his eyes is a Sharingan, he... he..."

Seeing that Konan couldn't continue, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded heavily, confirming:

"You guessed right, Kakashi's Sharingan also cannot shut down on its own."

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama explained:

"Speaking of which, Kakashi's Sharingan actually belonged to one of his former teammates. His teammate died on the battlefield and gave his Sharingan to Kakashi before he died."

Originally, our Uchiha clan would never allow such a thing to happen. Just as we were about to retrieve that Rinnegan, it was his teacher, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who stepped in and saved the Sharingan.

"However, perhaps because Kakashi doesn't have the blood of our Uchiha clan, he can use it normally, but he can't shut it down,"

Uchiha Kakuyama paused, looked at Konan, and said, word by word:

"Kakashi's situation is exactly the same as Nagato's."

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama added:

"Furthermore, I have thoroughly examined the clan histories and records of our Uchiha and Senju clans and confirmed that Nagato should be an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki clan is characterized by its strong vitality and chakra, and its members are generally long-lived."

"However, no one from the Uzumaki clan has ever possessed bloodlines related to the eyes, let alone the legendary Rinnegan."

At this moment, Konan's face had turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. She had never doubted Qiu Shanjun's words, so after hearing them, she sensed that there must be a huge conspiracy behind them, a conspiracy that would turn the entire ninja world upside down.

Thinking about this, Xiao Nan felt a strong sense of suffocation enveloping her, making it hard for her to breathe.

Uchiha Kakuzan noticed Konan's unusual behavior and, disregarding everything else, reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'm here for you. No matter what happens to you, I'll stand behind you and won't let anyone bully you."

Hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, Xiao Nan gradually calmed down. She gently leaned against Qiu Shanjun's chest and asked softly, somewhat confused:

"Kyuu-kun, tell me, what is real anymore? If all of this is fake, then what is the meaning of Yahiko's death, Nagato's paralysis, and all our suffering?"

Chapter 333 Confirmation of intention

Chapter 333 Confirming Feelings

Uchiha Kakuyama gently embraced Konan. After hearing what she said, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only gently pat her back, hoping to soothe her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've got everything covered. Whoever is behind this, I'll find them."

Xiao Nan gradually calmed down under Qiu Shan Jun's comforting words. After she came to her senses, she realized that she had just brazenly snuggled into Qiu Shan Jun's arms.

Even though there was no one around, Xiao Nan still blushed deeply.

Although she liked Qiu Shan-jun, she had never revealed her true feelings because she was burdened by too many things.

However, what she didn't expect was that the events of today made her lose control of her emotions, and she was unexpectedly pulled into Qiu Shanjun's arms.

However, even though Xiao Nan already understood her current position, she still pretended to be an ostrich and buried herself deep in Qiu Shan Jun's arms.

Because it rains almost all year round in the Land of Rain, and even when it doesn't rain, the weather is always gloomy.

This has led to a deep-seated fascination with sunlight among the locals, a fascination that others cannot comprehend.

Xiao Nan buried her head in Qiu Shan Jun's arms and smelled a sunny scent on him. This feeling made her feel deeply drawn in, and she greedily inhaled the scent in his arms.

Seeing that Xiao Nan had calmed down considerably, Qiu Shan-jun hugged her, gently stroking her hair, and continued:

"Regardless of whether Nagato's Rinnegan is part of someone's conspiracy, we must be careful,"

"Furthermore, I've heard your description, and I suspect that the reason Nagato is having difficulty moving is not only because his feet were injured by the explosive tags, but also..."

Another crucial reason is that although he possesses the physique of the Uzumaki clan, compared to the Rinnegan, the energy expenditure is far too great. His body is unable to keep up with the demands, leading to his gradual weakening.

"After I revive Yahiko, I'll think of a way to help Nagato seal the Rinnegan and reduce his energy consumption. With his constitution, I believe he'll recover to normal soon."

Xiao Nan listened attentively to Qiu Shanjun's words, feeling as if she had finally found solace in her world of loneliness and uncertainty.

Since Yahiko's death, although Nagato stepped up to support the Akatsuki, Konan, as a veteran member of the Akatsuki, clearly felt the changes within the organization.

While Yahiko was still alive, although the Akatsuki members were not particularly strong, they all shared the same ideal and the desire to change the Land of Rain.

The Akatsuki organization, although its members are all highly skilled, consists of rogue ninja. If Nagato hadn't subdued them with the Six Paths of Pain, they would never have been able to complete their missions obediently.

Therefore, although Nagato was powerful, Konan always played the role of taking care of others, but with Okayama-kun, Konan finally felt that she could rely on him.

However, when Qiushan-kun brought up the matter of reviving Yahiko, a ripple still appeared in Konan's eyes.

She finally lifted her head from Qiu Shanjun's embrace, looked at the man's handsome face so close to hers, opened her mouth slightly, and finally mustered up the courage to say what she wanted to say:

"Kiyama-kun, how about we wait until you find a way to revive Yahiko without any cost?"

Or rather, is it possible to find a way to transfer the cost of resurrection to someone else, even if it falls on me?

Uchiha Kakuzan lowered his head at this moment, looking at Konan's slightly shy face and seeing the worry in her eyes.

Slowly, a happy smile bloomed on Qiu Shanjun's lips. He raised his hand and gently pinched Xiao Nan's upturned nose, causing a blush to rise on her face.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Konan cared about him and wanted to postpone his wish—to revive Yahiko—in order to avoid paying too high a price and suffering too much loss.

Or perhaps she wants to shift the cost that should have been borne by Qiushan Jun onto herself.

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful Xiao Nan, Qiu Shanjun suppressed the urge to kiss her, swallowed hard, and said:

"Don't worry, it's probably because this Rinnegan is something I evolved from my own Mangekyou Sharingan. Although it has the same eye technique as Nagato's Rinnegan—the Rinne Rebirth Technique—..."

However, the cost of using it is much lower, and it doesn't affect me much.

Although Uchiha Kakuzan said this, he was very clear in his heart that the reason why the cost of using the Rinne Rebirth Technique with his Rinnegan was relatively small was because...

The reason for this is due to the system, which greatly reduced the cost of using the Sharingan and Rinnegan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but check the system's instructions again.

"Purple-gold Rinnegan - Owner - Uchiha Kakuyama".

Eye Technique:

The Way of Heaven (omitted)

Asura Path (omitted)

The Way of Humanity (omitted)

Animal Way (omitted)

Hell Realm (omitted)

The Path of Evil Spirits (omitted)

The Outer Path – Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique – the strongest eye technique of the Rinnegan, its function is to revive the dead and create a healthy body for the revived person that they had in their previous life.

The cost – the caster dies (crossed out)

The price: The heretical Reincarnation and Heavenly Life Technique is sealed for ten years (can be lifted).

Looking at the explanation above, Uchiha Kakuzan understood perfectly well that using the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive the dead was itself an act against the will of Heaven.

The cost is the death of the caster, which is normal. If his system hadn't eliminated most of the side effects, the cost would never have been so small.

Moreover, he had also learned about the method to lift the ban, which, although difficult, was not impossible.

Uchiha Kakuyama shut down the system, gently kissed Konan's forehead, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There won't be any problems. After all, I can't bear to see my Xiao Nan sad."

Xiao Nan felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Qiu Shanjun said, but she did not refute it. She just lowered her head shyly.

You see, Konan grew up in the war-torn Land of Rain, and having experienced so much hardship, she long ago learned the impermanence of life.

After realizing her own feelings, she was reluctant to take the initiative due to the pressure she was under.

However, when Qiu Shanjun, whom she had long admired, expressed his love for her, she did not stand there awkwardly or directly deny her feelings.

Chapter 334 Kisame and Itachi

Chapter 334 Kisame and Itachi

Uchiha Kakuyama hugged Konan affectionately for a while before remembering his other purpose for coming to see Konan.

At this moment, Qiu Shanjun was gently holding Xiao Nan's slender waist, resting his chin on the top of her head, and together they were looking at the seemingly endless rain outside.

"Sister Xiao Nan"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Well, you said."

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama selectively told Konan about his plans regarding Uchiha Itachi.

"After Itachi Uchiha defectes from the Uchiha clan, I hope the Akatsuki organization can recruit him."

If Itachi were in Akatsuki, he could not only be Konan's ally, but he would also help us expose the mastermind behind it all.

For the Akatsuki organization, which has many outstanding S-rank rogue ninja, recruiting Uchiha Itachi, who has Kage-level strength, is no burden at all.

After all, the Akatsuki organization nowadays doesn't care about your background or purpose; as long as you obey the organization's commands and arrangements, that's all that matters.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Qiu Shanjun said:

"By the way, Konan-nee, I heard that one of your members is Kisame Hoshigaki, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure who wields the Samehada sword. If he's short of teammates, could you put Itachi and him on the same team? According to my sources, he should have some connection with the person behind the scenes."

Konan's position was essentially equivalent to the vice-leader of Akatsuki, and she knew the background of every member of the organization very well. She certainly knew how Kisame Hoshigaki joined Akatsuki, and a cold glint flashed in Konan's eyes after hearing what Kisame said.

After learning about the origins of Nagato's Rinnegan from Qiushan-jun, she turned her suspicious gaze toward the mysterious man who always wore a mask and called himself Uchiha Madara.

Both Yahiko and Nagato were more or less influenced by him, especially after Yahiko's death, Nagato's extreme ideas were formed under his influence.

As the least valued member of the trio, Konan was also disregarded by Obito Uchiha. This allowed her to observe everything more clearly from the sidelines.

Although she obeyed Yahiko and Nagato due to their influence, she also had her own thoughts, and Obito Uchiha left many flaws in her eyes.

In addition, Kisame Hoshigaki's background made Konan extremely wary of that mysterious person.

However, Konan kept all of this to herself. In her opinion, nothing was more important than reviving Yahiko. So, although she also had doubts about Kisame Hoshigaki, she did not mention it to Okayama-kun.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath and said:

"Don't worry, Qiushan-kun, once Itachi joins Akatsuki, I'll find a way to put them together."

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama didn't say anything more. Instead, he gently tightened his grip on Konan's arm and spun her around so that she was facing him.

Uchiha Kakuzan's sudden action startled Konan. When she looked up at Kakuzan's star-like eyes so close to her, Konan's eyelashes suddenly trembled violently, and then her face inexplicably turned red.

Then, under Uchiha Kakuyama's slightly puzzled gaze, Konan slowly closed her eyes, raised her chin slightly, and looked as if she were ready to be picked.

However, although Xiao Nan had closed her eyes, as if to hide her shyness, she did not know that her fluttering eyelashes completely betrayed her.

Looking at Konan's shy expression, Uchiha Kakuyama, who originally had no such thoughts, was also aroused.

Qiu Shanjun quietly lowered his raised right hand. He had originally intended to teach Xiao Nan some secret techniques to improve her strength and survival ability, but it seemed inappropriate to say it now.

Looking at Xiao Nan's appearance, Qiu Shanjun temporarily put aside his other thoughts, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Xiao Nan's pink lips.

Suddenly, the air inside the small building, enveloped in heavy rain, seemed to become much hotter. Consequently, the two people embracing inside breathed more rapidly, and their slightly heavy breathing was clearly audible to each other, making the atmosphere in the small building even more exciting.

Just as Qiu Shanjun's right hand was placed in an inappropriate place, Xiao Nan immediately shuddered, as if she had regained her senses, and jumped out of Qiu Shanjun's arms.

At this moment, Xiao Nan's face was flushed, she was panting, and her eyes seemed to hold the entire starry sky, filled with a mesmerizing mist.

Xiao Nan looked at Qiu Shan Jun and explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"Lord Qiushan, the environment here is not safe. If we continue, we will be in danger if enemies approach."

Next time, next time we'll find a safe place, and I'll...I'll...

As Xiao Nan spoke, she became shy and couldn't continue.

Uchiha Kakuzan, of course, understood Konan's meaning. He wasn't one to rush things, and after taking a couple of deep breaths to suppress his anger, he chuckled and ruffled Konan's hair, saying:

"Sister Xiaonan, I'm not that kind of lustful person. I just wanted to use a secret technique to teach you some secret arts and ninjutsu."

However, the pose Sister Xiaonan struck just now was so perfect that I couldn't control myself. To be honest, it's all because Sister Xiaonan is so charming.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw Konan's face suddenly turn red, he stopped teasing her and used his eye technique—Instantaneous Time and Space—to bring Konan into an illusion. He then began to teach her some secret techniques and ninjutsu that she could use.

However, since Konan's ninjutsu and secret techniques system is already well-established, if Uchiha Kakuzan teaches her too many lethal ninjutsu, it may disrupt her own rhythm and cause her strength to decrease instead of increase.

Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan only taught Konan some auxiliary and life-saving ninjutsu, and finally used the Transcription Seal to seal a final life-saving technique—Izanagi—in Konan's eyes.
