Chapter 565: I Can’t Afford to Offend That Person!

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 565 I Can't Afford to Offend That Person!

Black Zetsu's meaningful voice reached Nagato's ears, making him cautious.

There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!

Just now, he was looking for Konan. Now, a mysterious guy had appeared and told him that he knew about Konan. However, he had to raise a condition.

Was this true?

Was there a trap?

There were too many abnormalities in this situation.

Even though Nagato was very anxious about finding Konan, he still felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, and it was not as simple as imagined.

After all.

This feeling was like that everything happened was specially targeted at him.

The sudden kidnapping on Konan seemed very sudden, but maybe this was something that had been planned long ago.

"Then tell me about it..."

"What is your request?"

"I have to know what your request is before I can decide whether to grant it or not!"

Nagato looked at Hei Zetsu coldly. At this time, in his heart, he had silently classified Black Zetsu as being in the same group as the person who had taken away Konan.

One of them was in charge of pretending to be Juko and taking Konan away unexpectedly.

The other would appear to discuss conditions with him. What the other party would say now might be the condition to release Konan.

Nagato had already started to have some ideas in his mind.

It was just these words.

He didn't say anything.

Instead, he quietly watched Black Zetsu perform.

Of course.

Nagato did not reject Black Zetsu directly.

To him, Konan was his everything and no one could compare to Konan's significance in his heart.

Unless he really doesn't want to live anymore, otherwise he won't let any problems happen to Konan. Even if something goes wrong with Yahiko, Konan can't have any problems.

This was his most real thought right now!

"Very good."

The corners of Black Zetsu's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile. However, his smile could not be seen on his dark face. It completely revealed a different feeling.

He came here, said these words, and did these things, all he was waiting for was what Nagato said just now.

What he needed was Nagato to do things for him!

"I need you to agree to one condition of mine."

Black Zetsu slowly opened his mouth. His orange eyes were fixed on Nagato, especially that pair of Rinnegan. It could be said that what in his view was hope.

"Mm..."

"But..."

"I have not thought of this condition yet!"

"So you only have to promise me directly!"

Black Zetsu said something but could also be said saying nothing, which made Nagato stunned.

For a moment.

Nagato stared at Black Zetsu strangely.

It was as if he was looking at something weird.

"You can have whatever you want and I must agree to any of your very unreasonable requests. Do you think I have a brain problem?" Nagato said snappily.

"Konan."

Black Zetsu said without hesitation, "For Konan!"

"I know you want to save Konan."

"I am the only one who knows Konan's position!"

"If you want to know..."

"Then you can only beg me!"

"So you have to agree if you agree..."

"Even if you don't want to, you have to agree!"

Black Zetsu acted as if victory was in his grasp. He was not worried at all. What he held in his hand was an absolute trump card. This was a bargaining chip that Nagato simply could not refuse.

"Damn it..."

Nagato cursed in his mind. Right now, his heart had indeed been grasped by this black and mysterious person in front of him. He even knew what he was thinking. He had already completely grasped his heart. He simply knew his background details.

How could they negotiate like this?

How was he going to bargain?

He was not on the same level at all!

He knew nothing about this black person in front of him. He didn't even know the name of the other party. He didn't even know his origin and purpose. He was completely in the dark, and even the person in front of him was completely black.

But the other party not only knows his depth but also fully understands his strengths and weaknesses. In other words, the other party knows all the details about him. Whether he said it or not, the other party already knew where his bottom line was.

"Of course..."

When Black Zetsu saw Nagato's hesitant look, he started to take a step back. He wanted Nagato to help him in the future, so he naturally wouldn't make their relationship too stiff. He still understood that he had to be careful with this so his voice eased up a lot, and his orange eyes glowed with brilliance.

"I won't let you agree to my conditions for nothing!"

"If you don't see Konan after I take you there, then you can just pretend that I didn't say anything and I won't ask you to do anything!"

"If you see Konan after I take you there, but Konan is dead, or you fail to rescue her, then you can just pretend that I didn't say anything and don't need to do anything!"

"But..."

"If I take you there and you successfully save Konan and survive, then I will come and find you at the right time!"

Black Zetsu listed all the scenes that he thought might happen to Nagato. Now he did not say what he needed Nagato to do. After all, it was useless to say it now.

Actually.

Black Zetsu did not completely place his hopes on Nagato.

He still did not want to be too rigid with his so-called uncle because of this matter.

So...

He was just laying a foundation for the future possibilities.

If there was no such possibility in the future...

Then this foreshadowing was something that did not matter to him!

In any case, for Black Zetsu at the moment, as long as he could make Nagato agree to his request, it was equivalent to retaining such a possibility in the future.

And this possibility.

Whether he used it or not.

There was no loss for him.

For him, this kind of thing was a situation where he could make a profit without losing any money.

He no longer had any hope for this generation. It could be said to be just one of his countless failures, but this time he was really closer to success.

However.

What could he do?

An "uncle" appeared halfway, disrupting all his plans.

He didn't want it to be like this either.

But this was how it happened!

In any plan, there will be things that may appear outside the plan. This was something that no one could avoid or completely calculate.

This was like an accident in life.

There was no way to avoid it.

Black Zetsu only felt deeply helpless, but he did not complain. After all, he had failed too many times.

It was like this every time.

He had been used to it for so many years.

A little bit of hope would bring despair!

Therefore, he actually did not have any expectations for these things. For him, he could just plant a seed, and maybe it would sprout in the future.

Of course.

It did not matter if it did not sprout!

Now, Nagato was such a seed!

After all, Madara had successfully opened Rinnegan with his help. This was the only existence among all Indra's descendants that he had fooled for so many years.

In this pair of eyes.

He saw the hope of saving his mother.

Although Madara was dead, fortunately, his Rinnegan was still intact!

As long as there was Rinnegan, then everything was possible!

What was difficult was to gather the nine bijuu.

But as long as Nagato could awaken the Rinnegan power, it would not be a difficult matter. After all, Rinnegan's strength was not a joke.

But...

There was still a huge variable here...

That was his so-called uncle, Otsutsuki Toneri!

Toneri also had Rinnegan, and he had now controlled the Gedo Statue. This was very unfavorable for his current situation. No one knew better than him what Gedo Statue meant!

That was the Juubi's husk!

If there were no Gedo Statue...

Then everything would be in vain!

Because of this...

Black Zetsu was already mentally prepared in his heart. If there was really no other possibility, then he could only wait for Otsutsuki Toneri to die or leave, and slowly get through this difficult period.

As for Nagato, this seed.

He could just casually bury it.

If his hope was destroyed, then he would deal with it the same way he dealt with it in the past. But if this wish comes true because of some accident on the way, then he would be able to save his mother through this small possibility.

As for the so-called "uncle"...

Black Zetsu did not believe that Toneri would help him save his mother!

Because he found that what this person did had nothing to do with saving his mother. He had no intention of helping him in the first place and was even causing trouble.

"This..."

After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Nagato's eyes flashed with deep thought. Because he understood that this request was equivalent to a blank check. In the future, he might come to him with this check at any time, and he could not refuse.

"I can't promise you anything!"

Nagato thought for a while and said this because he really wanted to save Konan. But if this person use this black check to let him kill Konan, then it would be impossible for him to do so.

"I'll explain it in advance!"

"I won't do anything to hurt Konan!"

"I won't do anything to hurt Yahiko either!"

"As long as it was not to hurt the two of them!"

"Then I can do anything!"

"Of course..."

"The premise of everything is..."

"I must succeed in rescuing Konan!"

Nagato said one sentence after another. In his heart, Konan was the most important. Yahiko was second, but also very important.

Although he was a little disappointed with Yahiko's reaction to Konan's matter, this disappointment could not dissolve their friendship for so many years.

And after he thought it through.

He also would not do anything that would hurt Yahiko.

So.

As long as it was not to hurt Konan and Yahiko.

Then he has nothing to avoid!

Even if he was asked to attack his teacher, Jiraiya, he would not refuse. After all, in his opinion, Jiraiya was just a ninja of Konohagakure, just a more special ninja of Konohagakure.

And in his heart.

He hated Konohagakure.

It was not something that Jiraiya could eliminate.

This was the deep pain in his heart!

"Very good!"

Black Zetsu smiled and nodded. His goal had been achieved, so he said slowly, "Actually, both of us were just taking what we needed. I helped you and you helped me!"

"You..."

Nagato snorted coldly in his mind, but there was no change on his face. He felt that the black guy in front of him was simply taking advantage of the situation.

If not for the fact that Konan was in danger, he wouldn't have agreed to such a request!

But right now, he had no choice!

Other than the person in front of him, he had no idea who else would know Konan's location...

"You have to tell me another question."

Nagato took a deep breath. He felt that he could not be slaughtered like this. Even if the other party knew his background details, he still had to bargain at this time. Otherwise, he would be led by the nose and the situation would become extremely passive.

As soon as this was said.

Black Zetsu did not respond at all.

He just looked at Nagato quietly.

A moment later.

Black Zetsu nodded.

"You tell me first. After you finish speaking, I will see if I can answer it."

Black Zetsu slowly said. He did not promise anything. Right now, he held the initiative. As long as he had the initiative, he would not worry about any problems.

'Damn it!'

When Nagato saw Black Zetsu's appearance, he secretly complained in his mind. However, he also knew that it was very difficult to bargain under such circumstances.

"I need to know that person's name!"

"The person who took Konan away!"

"I know you must know who he is!"

"This is very important to me!"

Nagato stared at Black Zetsu, his expression was extremely cold. This name was still very important to him. After all, if he had gone to rescue Konan but she was already dead or died in the process. He had to know who that person was if he wanted to avenge Konan!

"Impossible!"

After hearing Nagato's words, Black Zetsu shook his head without any hesitation.

"All I can provide you is Konan's location."

"I can even take you to Konan's location."

"But I can't tell you who that person is!"

"If you find out who that person is, then it has nothing to do with me!"

"But I won't say it!"

"If you still really want to know..."

"Then the deal between us can only be voided!"

There was a strong determination in Black Zetsu's tone. He knew very well that he absolutely could not agree to such a thing. Otherwise, it would not be beneficial to him if Toneri found out about it later. Instead, it would be troublesome.

"Why?" Nagato's face turned ugly. His hands were clenched into fists, and a strong sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

"Because..."

Black Zetsu dragged out his voice for a while. He did not want to answer this topic, but since he was here to plant seeds, he had to pay some.

After that.

He took a deep breath.

He slowly opened his mouth.

"I can't afford to offend that person!"
