Originally, after the betrayals of Sasori and Deidara, the Akatsuki's manpower had become somewhat insufficient.
Unexpectedly, half of them were still on Obito's side.
Seeing her thinking, Takumi one by one explained the relationships between these people and Obito.
"Uchiha Itachi is actually a spy planted in the Akatsuki by Konoha, but besides the Third Hokage and Danzo, no one else knows this."
"Therefore, he may not necessarily side with Obito, because he also doesn't know Obito's true identity."
"However, Obito was involved in the Uchiha Clan Massacre that happened in Konoha back then."
"Hoshigaki Kisame also belongs to the category of those who were deceived."
"He is a very loyal person. What he hates most is betrayal."
"Although he is a Missing-nin from Kirigakure, in his view, it was actually Kirigakure that betrayed him first."
"And at that time, Obito, posing as Madara, invited Hoshigaki Kisame to join the Akatsuki, making him his spy planted in the organization."
"For the future without war that Obito described, Hoshigaki Kisame agreed to Obito's proposal. Therefore, he will definitely side with Obito."
Konan silently listened to the numerous secrets Takumi revealed, without raising any questions.
Although she was also curious how Takumi knew these unknown things, Takumi had already shown his specialness many times before.
So although she was surprised this time, she wasn't too surprised.
"Finally, Zetsu is Obito's true supporter."
"No!"
"Rather, it's Black Zetsu. He is the true mastermind behind the entire plan."
Takumi slowly revealed the biggest secret of this world.
"Black Zetsu?"
Konan's eyes widened.
Her mind flashed through all of Black Zetsu's actions since joining the Akatsuki.
For the sake of intelligence, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu worked diligently. Being able to hide so deeply in the Shinobi World was undoubtedly thanks to their efforts.
Since Black Zetsu and White Zetsu joined the Akatsuki with Obito,
She knew they were certainly Obito's people.
But she never imagined that Black Zetsu was actually the true mastermind.
Not even Madara!
"Why?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Now her mind was filled with too many questions.
"This matter is a long story and a bit complicated to understand."
Takumi said slowly. "First, let me talk about what he has done."
"First of all, he deceived the entire Uchiha Clan."
Konan's eyes widened. She didn't expect the first thing to be so explosive.
'Not one person, but the entire clan was deceived?'
"He rewrote the stone tablet passed down through generations of the Uchiha Clan, planting a clever lie on it to conceal his true purpose."
"And the lie he planted on the stone tablet was the Eye of the Moon Plan."
Konan covered her mouth in shock.
What the Eye of the Moon Plan was, as a member of the Akatsuki, she knew very well.
Wasn't this the plan Obito proposed when he joined the Akatsuki?
Collect the Tailed Beasts to activate the Ten-Tails, then use the power of the Ten-Tails to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon, plunging the entire world into an illusion, thereby achieving a peaceful world without war.
This was also the Akatsuki's original pursuit.
Unexpectedly, the Eye of the Moon Plan was actually a lie?
"Obito probably still doesn't know this is a lie."
Takumi said slowly. "Ultimately, the entire Uchiha Clan were a bunch of easily manipulated fools."
"After doing all this, Black Zetsu secretly schemed his plan in the shadows."
"But every time, his plans ended in failure."
"The Eye of the Moon Plan never succeeded."
"So this time, he prepared to personally step in to supervise the execution of the plan."
"Thus, he concealed his true identity, appearing before you in the guise of Black Zetsu, working diligently, appearing dull and rigid, completing all the tasks you assigned him."
"In reality, he did much more in secret, all to ensure his plan could proceed smoothly."
"In fact, if it weren't for me, your plan would have started three years later."
This point Konan also understood very well.
It was precisely because they sensed that Takumi would become a major obstacle in the Akatsuki's future plan that, after failed assassinations, they somewhat anxiously began the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.
Unexpectedly, behind this plan, so many things were hidden.
"To complete his own plan, there is one very necessary condition."
Takumi said slowly. "This condition will lead to Nagato-senpai's death."
"What condition?"
Konan frowned deeply. This was what she cared about most.
Now she completely didn't want to care about these things anymore.
She just wanted to take Nagato away from all this.
She had already lost one close friend and didn't want to lose another.
"He needs a vessel capable of withstanding a very massive amount of Chakra, and this vessel's strength must be very powerful."
Takumi said with a serious expression. "Nagato-senpai's strength is indeed considerable, but it doesn't meet the standard."
"The only one Black Zetsu deems to meet the standard is Madara."
Konan finally understood. "He wants Nagato to resurrect Madara?"
"Indeed."
Takumi nodded.
"That's impossible."
Konan decisively shook her head. "Although I don't know if Nagato knows this Ninjutsu, he is definitely not someone who sits idly by. No one can force him to do anything."
"But Black Zetsu can. He can forcibly control anyone."
Takumi said slowly. "No one can escape his control."
Even Takumi himself wasn't confident in this.
After all, Black Zetsu's ability to possess people was simply too hard to guard against.
At least currently, Takumi had no way to guard against his possession.
Although Armament Haki could block Obito's touch, he wasn't confident in guarding against Black Zetsu.
So, he also tried his best to avoid fighting Black Zetsu.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu was also hiding his identity; he wouldn't easily reveal his true self.
"To think he has such an ability."
Konan's expression completely darkened.
She looked up at Takumi. "So, what do you plan to do?"
"For now, we can't alert the enemy, to prevent Obito or Black Zetsu from acting desperately."
Takumi said. "Their abilities are such that even if you're on guard, you may not necessarily be able to defeat them. So, to be safe, we temporarily cannot clash with them."
"Therefore, to stop Black Zetsu's plan, we must stop them from continuing to capture the Tailed Beasts."
"As long as they don't collect enough Tailed Beasts, they can't activate the Outer Path Statue, and the plan naturally cannot proceed."
Konan seemed to understand Takumi's thought. "You want me to be your spy?"
