Rin Nohara departed.
However, inside the Hokage Office, the atmosphere became increasingly subtle.
Sakumo Hatake, Senju Hashirama, Tobirama, Minato Namikaze...
Everyone's gaze began to undergo a slight change. After all, they had previously only heard Uchiha Jin making grand promises. Although everyone was willing to believe that Uchiha Jin wouldn't lie, seeing the actual scene of Rin Nohara being resurrected caused their hearts to tremble slightly.
There was no other way!
Because Konoha was about to undergo major changes, Sakumo Hatake was uneasy about Kakashi and wanted to help his son stabilize himself in the upcoming new landscape.
Senju Tobirama couldn't let go of the Senju Clan, and Minato Namikaze wanted to accompany his son and live a proper life as a couple with Kushina.
Even Senju Hashirama had his own selfish motives.
In the original work, he didn't want the dead to affect the living, so after finishing his tasks, he was in a hurry to return to the Pure Land.
Now, however, it was different!
With the sudden rise of Uchiha Jin, the landscape of the entire Konoha—and even the Ninja World—had begun to change.
He wanted to live to see the unification of the Ninja World and the arrival of a truly peaceful world; even more, he wanted to contribute his part to the peace of the Ninja World.
After all...
This was the childhood dream of both him and Madara!
During the Fourth War in the original work, he didn't bother to intervene because he saw that Uzumaki Naruto and the others lacked the ability to bring ultimate peace through unification, and at that time, he didn't believe he could truly be resurrected.
What about now?
Uchiha Jin was not Uzumaki Naruto. He truly had the ability to unify the Ninja World and was someone who could completely liberate the Ninja World from the chaos of war!
Under such circumstances, how could he not be tempted?
On the other side.
Sitting behind the Hokage desk, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but let a faint smile curl the corners of his mouth after seeing the change in everyone's expressions.
Yes!
It was precisely because Nagato couldn't truly be killed at this stage that he hoped to stall for time on one hand, while simultaneously resurrecting Rin Nohara and dangling a carrot in front of these Edo Tensei Strongmen on the other.
This carrot was both big and round!
He didn't believe they wouldn't be tempted.
And indeed, that was the case.
Looking at the gazes of the many Edo Tensei Strongmen before him, he knew his 'kill three birds with one stone' strategy had succeeded.
Of course.
He didn't have the mind to dwell on this now, because with the completion of this transaction, the atmosphere between Konoha and Nagato became tense once again. After all, Uchiha Jin had never said he would let Nagato leave.
Furthermore, such things could not be said!
Even if Uchiha Jin had many calculations in his heart, in essence, he was still the Hokage of Konoha; he had to stand on the side of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Therefore.
Between them, it was merely a transaction.
And now that the transaction was truly complete, they naturally returned to being in opposing camps.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, in the void of the office, the air was suddenly distorted and torn apart as Uchiha Obito appeared.
He placed a hand on Nagato's shoulder and sucked him into the Kamui Dimension.
To this.
Nagato did not resist. After all, following the great battle, he had long since been completely exhausted.
But before leaving, he still let out a loud shout: "Save Konan!"
"Mm." Obito nodded.
However.
Just as he was about to make a move for Konan, Minato Namikaze, Senju Tobirama, Hashirama, and the others had already blocked Obito's path.
Uchiha Jin's expression remained normal.
He merely gave Obito an indifferent glance before speaking in a calm tone: "Obito, don't waste your time!"
"Konan's Chakra has already been completely sealed by your teacher, Minato Namikaze, using the Eight Trigrams Seal. Unless you can get the key from your teacher, you won't be able to undo the Eight Trigrams Seal even if you kidnap her."
"Be obedient and leave!"
"With your Kamui Dimension, I can't kill you for the time being."
"But, at the same time."
"You can't take Konan away, and you can't beat our Konoha."
Following these words, Uchiha Obito instantly froze in place.
To be honest...
He really didn't know about this!
After all, he had been carrying out a slaughter in Sunagakure when he suddenly received a message from Black Zetsu. Considering the importance of the Rinnegan on Nagato's body, he naturally couldn't let Konoha kill Nagato, so he had rushed back in a hurry.
So as for what specifically had happened, he was currently completely bewildered.
Especially seeing that Nagato hadn't made a move and was instead just sitting in the Hokage Office. If it weren't for the fact that Nagato hadn't resisted just now, he would have fucking thought these two had defected to the light.
And now?
After hearing Uchiha Jin's words, he finally understood completely. It turned out Konan had been captured by Konoha and had the Eight Trigrams Seal carved onto her!
This is troublesome!
As Minato Namikaze's former disciple, he naturally knew how domineering the Eight Trigrams Seal was.
This was something specifically designed to seal the Nine-Tailed. Unless one could obtain the corresponding key, it could not be undone even if Konan were taken away.
And more importantly, in front of so many powerhouses, he really couldn't take Konan away!
After all, Konan without Chakra was just an ordinary person. Facing a Konan who could neither resist nor cooperate with him, it would be difficult to succeed even with his Kamui Dimension.
So, forget it!
It was after considering this that Obito finally made up his mind.
"Uchiha Jin!"
"I won't let you stay arrogant for long. Just you wait!"
After speaking.
Obito did not hesitate in the slightest. The Mangekyo in his eye began to swirl, and with a series of distortions in the void, Obito was completely sucked into the Kamui Dimension.
Konan let out a soft sigh at this.
At this moment, her heart was in a mess, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
She and the entire Akatsuki Organization had been careless. No one expected Konoha to be so strong now. Even Nagato, the possessor of the Rinnegan, was actually no match for Konoha.
Konoha's Hokage, Uchiha Jin, could contend with Nagato's Rinnegan alone.
The remaining three Mangekyo Uchiha, even if slightly weaker than Uchiha Jin, were still enough to be considered powerhouses among the Kage-level, not to mention they also had many Edo Tensei Strongmen.
Especially that Senju Hashirama; even Nagato was no match for him, and even she herself had been captured.
What should be done?
At this moment, Konan's mind was in total disarray.
Uchiha Jin seemed to sense Konan's confusion, so he spoke directly to her: "Miss Konan, please rest assured. Konoha keeps its word. Since we have already promised Mr. Nagato, we naturally won't subject you to any other treatment."
"Other than not undoing the Eight Trigrams Seal for you, you will enjoy the same status and position as other Ninja in Konoha."
"Of course!"
"It wouldn't be good to let you stay idle all the time..."
"How about this."
"You can serve as my secretary for a period of time. Additionally, if you want to feel your Chakra, I will have Minato Namikaze open a small gap for you."
"But, there is a requirement!"
"You have to help our Konoha manufacture more exploding tags!"
