Haku and Fū looked curiously at the woman Lord God King had brought back.
"Lord God King, who is this big sister?"
Ryōsuke introduced her.
"This is Konan. From now on, she will be a new member of The Illuminati. Let's make her codename Angel."
Haku and Fū looked at the older girl with a hint of surprise.
*'Anyone Lord God King brings into the organization must be an incredibly powerful big sister,'* they thought.
Haku introduced herself.
"I am Haku of the organization. You can call me Little Haku. This is Fū beside me, and the one covered in bandages over there is my master, Zabuza."
"The three of us are all members of The Illuminati."
Konan's eyes widened slightly. Although her expression remained calm, she was inwardly speechless.
*'This guy just dragged me into his organization like this, and he even knows my codename in the Akatsuki.'*
*'How does he know so much?'*
She did know a bit about the bandaged Zabuza over there. After all, she was the intelligence gatherer for the Akatsuki.
*'He can be considered quite a formidable expert. That weapon on his back is Jūzō's Executioner's Blade.'*
*'But what on earth is the deal with these two kids?'*
*'The Illuminati feels like an organization made just for play.'*
Looking at Ryōsuke, she asked,
"Ryōsuke, what is the purpose behind our organization's founding?"
Thinking about how this man was also collecting the Tailed Beasts...
Konan once again felt that this organization was far from ordinary.
Before Ryōsuke could reply, Haku explained,
"The goal of The Illuminati is to unify the shinobi world and establish a fundamental order. This way, even powerless ordinary people will be able to attain peace and live normal lives."
Over the past few days, she had come to understand Lord God King's objective on her own.
Once the shinobi world had order, wars would no longer break out.
No one would dare to cause chaos everywhere either.
With everywhere under Lord God King's control, the world would finally achieve peace.
Hearing this, Konan was endlessly surprised. *'Is this what he intends to do?'*
The Akatsuki also wanted to revive the Gedo Statue to obtain a massive military force, threatening all the nations of the shinobi world so they wouldn't dare start wars.
But his plan sounded much more concrete: establishing order.
If the shinobi world was governed by order, the probability of war breaking out would indeed be extremely low.
Naturally, Konan did not wish for any more wars in the shinobi world. War produced countless orphans, and she herself was one of them.
This man, Ryōsuke, became even more appealing to her—not in a physical sense, but on a personal, ideological level.
However, a problem occurred to her: his methods. Unifying the shinobi world was likely a far more radical approach than the Akatsuki's plan to simply deter it.
The Akatsuki would intimidate their enemies into potential submission, but this man wanted to directly annex them.
That would undoubtedly be incredibly difficult.
The great nations and powerful ninja villages of the shinobi world would certainly not yield so easily.
Unable to hold back, she asked,
"Ryōsuke, doing this will likely cause tremendous casualties."
After all, unifying the shinobi world was practically tantamount to declaring war on everyone.
Naturally, countless people would resist. With so much resistance, there would inevitably be massive casualties and the creation of countless more orphans.
Ryōsuke was speechless. His methods would indeed cause deaths and injuries.
But for Konan to actually worry about this... did she really think her own plan to threaten the shinobi world wouldn't result in casualties?
Nevertheless, he patiently explained,
"That is why I am collecting the Tailed Beasts. Once all nine Tailed Beasts are brought forth, no one should dare to resist. Furthermore, with my Rinnegan, I believe I can make many submit."
"If anyone still dares to resist after that, then they deserve to die."
"Establishing order is the foundation for a thousand, or even ten thousand years of peace in the shinobi world."
"To build a peaceful world for our future generations."
"For this goal, even if there are some casualties, it is a price worth paying."
Konan was shocked. What immense ambition.
He possessed such resolve, and equally, the means to accomplish it.
So this was his true reason for gathering the Tailed Beasts?
This man really might succeed.
She felt a slight desire to follow him.
To see how he would realize such a grand objective.
She and Nagato definitely couldn't do it.
Because the two of them were being manipulated; even their greatest trump card, the Rinnegan, was given to them by someone else.
Listening from a short distance away, Zabuza felt his blood pumping with excitement.
Collecting the Tailed Beasts to form a massive military force and directly conquering the major ninja villages—what incredible audacity.
Establishing an order that would last for thousands or tens of thousands of years in the shinobi world was an incomparably great goal.
With Lord God King's combat prowess, challenging the combined might of the shinobi world would be a breeze.
Lord God King was the true ruler of the Leaf Village, after all.
He just needed to crush the other four great ninja villages of the shinobi world.
In front of the God King, none of those villages stood a chance.
Hearing Lord God King's words, the Five-Tails and Four-Tails pondered. *'Unify the shinobi world?'*
They didn't have the slightest doubt. Those eyes were inherently the most supreme power in this world; unifying the shinobi world wouldn't be a problem.
Haku and Fū felt that Lord God King was so magnificent and radiant.
The new world established by Lord God King would undoubtedly be a beautiful one.
Afterward, Ryōsuke instructed the two Tailed Beasts to stay there, telling them he would return once he went back to the village and made preparations.
Then, he directly cast the Rinnegan's Teleportation Technique, and a portal slightly larger than the previous one appeared in front of them.
He then called out to the group,
"Let's go. We are heading back to the village."
The others were a bit surprised.
Haku asked,
"Lord God King, what is this?"
Ryōsuke explained,
"This is a teleportation portal. It can transport us across long distances."
With a curious expression, Haku was the first to step through the portal.
The destination on the other side of this door was completely different from their original location.
The scenery was entirely different.
Fū followed her inside.
Zabuza also walked in with excitement.
It was indeed another realm. Judging by the change in scenery, the teleportation distance was likely very far.
*'If we had a teleportation portal like this to launch sneak attacks on the enemy's rear...'*
*'Then in times of war, this portal would be an absolute ultimate weapon.'*
*'Of course, given Lord God King's martial prowess, there's probably no need for sneak attacks. No one could possibly be his match in a head-on battle anyway.'*
Konan's eyes were filled with astonishment.
*'How miraculous. Even Nagato's Rinnegan doesn't have this ability.'*
*'It feels like his Rinnegan is truly his own, naturally awakened. Nagato's was forced upon him by someone else, which is why he couldn't awaken such an ability.'*
Ryōsuke took Konan's hand and stepped through the teleportation portal.
