After staring at the stone tablet for a long time,
Konan looked up in surprise, then looked back at Kyo, her heart full of doubt.
However,
Before she could speak, Kyo smiled and said:
"Hehe, can't see it, right?"
"That's normal."
"After all, this stone tablet was long ago imbued with a special prohibition by the Sage of Six Paths."
"Only superior Dojutsu can decipher the words on it."
"From the Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan, you can see different deeper levels of content."
"Barring accidents, that masked man Uchiha Obito,"
"Probably also learned about the Tailed Beast Weapon from it through his own Mangekyo Sharingan..."
Kyo explained unhurriedly.
It seemed logically coherent.
In reality, it was almost all made up.
This stone tablet,
Was indeed the one he had seen in the Naka Shrine of the Uchiha Clan on the night of the massacre.
However, after completing the side mission of reading the stone tablet, he deliberately used the system warehouse function to take the thing away...
To prepare for unforeseen needs.
For example now, it could just be used to fabricate something on the spot.
The stone tablet did indeed contain the instructions of the Sage of Six Paths, and it did indeed require superior Dojutsu to decipher.
These were all true.
But in fact,
Its instructions had long been tampered with by the filial son Black Zetsu.
And the recorded inscription had also become... guiding the Shinobi World towards the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
As for Obito,
How could he have seen it on the stone tablet?
He completely just heard it from that elderly Madara...
However,
These facts,
Kyo did not tell Konan.
After all, if they knew about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, they probably wouldn't be very willing to go down the path of collecting Tailed Beasts.
Sure enough, at this moment, after listening to Kyo's words,
Konan was momentarily stunned.
After a long while,
She looked at Kyo in amazement and said:
"Kyo-kun, then you..."
"Can your True Eye of the King see it?"
"?"
Hearing Konan's words, Kyo was momentarily taken aback.
Eh?
He immediately felt a bit between laughter and tears.
Bringing up the True Eye of the King again?
I almost forgot about that thing myself, okay...
However,
Even so,
At this moment, he still pretended to be cool and nodded, putting on a calm and composed demeanor, chuckling lightly:
"Naturally."
"After all, my Dojutsu... surpasses even the Rinnegan."
"!!"
As his words fell, Konan's expression shifted instantly.
Her heart was filled with shock.
So Kyo's golden eyes...
The power of the True Eye of the King was actually... even above Nagato's Rinnegan!!?
This... this is too terrifying...
It must be known,
Nagato's eyes' power was something Konan knew very well.
The power of the Six Paths,
Could be called omnipotent...
They had even been called the 'Eyes of the Sage of Six Paths' in the past.
And now,
Kyo's golden eyes,
If their power was still above them,
Wouldn't that mean...
Surpassing the dimension of the Sage of Six Paths...?!
"..."
Konan couldn't help but gasp again, greatly shocked.
Based on her understanding of Kyo,
He didn't seem like the type to casually boast.
And now,
Since he said so...
It meant he truly had this confidence.
No wonder...
No wonder back then, Uchiha Obito,
Had all kinds of apprehensions and suspicions about Kyo. So... he was afraid of his eyes...
Thinking this,
Konan's heart couldn't help but surge.
Thinking back to when that masked man appeared, claiming to guide Nagato, the possessor of the Sage of Six Paths' eyes...
But now,
Since he had been kicked out of Akatsuki.
With him, who possessed eyes surpassing the Sage of Six Paths, to guide Akatsuki...
Wouldn't it,
Lead to peace even more smoothly?!
Konan's gaze flickered as she stared intently at Kyo, almost dazed.
In those orange eyes, a faint glimmer of hope began to appear for the first time in a long while.
Until after a long time,
She revealed a faint, somewhat relieved smile, raised her eyes, and said softly:
"Kyo-kun... I understand."
"Regarding the stone tablet and the Tailed Beast Weapon, I will inform Nagato."
"It can probably continue as well."
At this moment,
Her expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.
As if suddenly relieved of a heavy burden weighing on her heart.
Before coming,
All the confusion in her mind,
At this moment, after listening to Kyo's words just now, was completely cleared.
After all,
Since even Kyo said the Tailed Beast Capture Plan could proceed,
Then it must be correct.
Just follow it.
And at this moment,
Kyo also nodded and casually chuckled:
"Mm, okay."
"Tell Nagato to follow the original plan; it won't go wrong."
Mm.
Konan nodded seriously.
At this moment,
She naturally trusted Kyo's words completely.
And then,
She seemed to think of something else, her gaze suddenly flickered, and then she asked cautiously:
"Kyo-kun..."
"Since that masked man Obito is a spy,"
"What about the three members he personally brought, Zetsu, Uchiha Itachi, and Hoshigaki Kisame...?"
"Are they still worth trusting?"
Konan asked intently.
This question,
Was naturally something Nagato asked her to ask.
After all, now, Nagato had few people he could trust within the Akatsuki...
And at this moment,
Hearing this question, Kyo was momentarily at a loss whether to laugh or cry, shaking his head and saying:
"Uh, they can be temporarily trusted for now."
"After all, if we can't even trust them, wouldn't Akatsuki have very few people left to use?"
"Hmm... that's true."
Konan smiled wryly and nodded.
Indeed,
Akatsuki only had nine people in total. If they cleared out a few more spies all at once, then they probably wouldn't be able to function...
And at this moment, Kyo naturally saw her concern and smiled again:
"Don't worry,"
"Next, I will personally monitor their actions."
"To ensure the normal progress of the Tailed Beast Capture Plan."
"The waters of the Shinobi World are too deep. You can't handle it."
"Just let me."
Kyo said with a warm and gentle smile.
Like the Sunday sun.
Instantly,
Konan's emotions surged violently.
This familiar feeling,
Seemed familiar.
After a moment,
She slightly lowered her eyes, her gaze shifting, and chuckled lightly:
"I understand..."
"Kyo-kun."
…
Time passed.
Soon, this dreary night was over.
The rain poured heavily all night.
It began to gradually lighten.
The next day,
In the early morning.
Under Pain's ring communication, all members of the Akatsuki gathered once again.
The Tailed Beast Capture Plan's meeting, previously interrupted due to the reporting of the spy,
Was held once again.
And this time,
Contrary to everyone's expectations,
Pain at this moment had completely lost the hesitation he had when the meeting adjourned yesterday.
Instead, he began to act resolutely and decisively.
In just a few minutes,
He immediately analyzed all the intelligence on almost all the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in the entire Shinobi World.
And,
Also assigned all the capture missions.
And this time,
The ones responsible for firing Akatsuki's first shot,
Were precisely,
The gorgeous duo, the visual representatives of the Akatsuki:
The artist of explosion, Deidara, and---
The ever-burning Dojutsu user,
Kyo!
