Black Zetsu's meaningful voice reached Nagato's ears, making Nagato become cautious.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
He was looking for Xiaonan just now, and now such a mysterious guy appeared and told him that he knew about Xiaonan, but he had to put forward conditions.
is this real
Could it be a scam
This situation is too abnormal.
Even though Nagato is very anxious about finding Konan, he still feels that there seems to be something wrong here, and it is not as simple as imagined.
after all.
This feeling is like it is specially targeted at them.
The sudden kidnapping of Xiaonan seemed very sudden to them, but maybe it was something that had been planned long ago.
"Then tell me..."
"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 Hei Zetsu as being in the same group as the person who captured Konan.
One of them was responsible for pretending to be Xu Ding and taking Xiaonan away unexpectedly.
The other one came here to negotiate terms with him. What he said now might be the conditions for Xiaonan's release.
Nagato had already begun to figure it out.
Just these words.
He didn't tell it.
Instead, he was quietly watching Hei Jue's performance.
certainly.
Nagato did not reject Black Zetsu directly.
For him, Xiaonan is everything to him, and no one can compare to Xiaonan's meaning in his heart.
Unless he really doesn't want to live anymore, otherwise I won't let any problems happen to Xiaonan. Even if something goes wrong with Yahiko, Xiaonan can't have any problems.
This is his truest thought now!
"very good."
The corners of Hei Jue's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile, but his smile could not be seen at all on his dark face. What appeared completely was another special feeling.
He came here, said these words, and did these things, all he was waiting for was what Nagato said just now.
All he needs is Nagato to do something for him!
"I need you to agree to a condition."
Black Zetsu spoke slowly, his orange eyes always staring at Nagato, especially his samsara eyes, it can be said that he saw all hope.
"Um… "
"but… "
"I haven't thought about this condition yet!"
"So you must promise me directly!"
Black Zetsu said something that seemed to be unsaid, and Nagato was stunned for a moment.
All of a sudden.
Nagato stared at Black Zetsu with unusual eyes.
It was like he was looking at something strange.
"You can have whatever you want. I can agree to your very unreasonable request. Do you think I have a brain problem?" Nagato said angrily.
"Xonan."
Hei Jue would almost say without hesitation: "It's Xiaonan!"
"I know you have to save Konan."
"I am the only one who knows Xiaonan's location now!"
"If you want to go..."
"Then you can only ask me for help!"
"So you have to agree if you agree..."
“You have to agree even if you don’t want to!”
Black Zetsu acted like he was sure of victory. He had not worried about anything 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 complained harshly in his heart. Now his psychology has indeed been controlled by this dark mysterious man in front of him. He even knows what he is thinking and has completely captured his heart. , basically know his details.
How can we negotiate like this!
How can you bargain for this!
They are not on the same level at all!
He knew nothing about the dark man in front of him. He didn't even know his name, let alone his origin and purpose. His eyes were completely black, and even the person in front of him was black.
But the other party not only knows his depth, but also fully understands his strengths and weaknesses. In this way, the other party knows all the details about him. Whether he says it or not, the other party already knows where his bottom line is.
"certainly… "
After Black Zetsu saw Nagato's hesitant look, he was about to start adding more. He wanted Nagato to help him with things in the future, so naturally he wouldn't make the relationship too tense. He still knew how to balance this. , and then his voice softened a lot, and his orange eyes glowed with brilliance.
"I won't let you agree to my conditions in vain!"
"If you don't see Xiaonan after I take you there, then you will just pretend that I didn't say anything and I won't ask you to do anything, and you won't do it!"
"If you see Xiaonan after I take you there, but Xiaonan dies, or you fail to rescue Xiaonan, then you can just pretend that I didn't say anything and don't need to do anything!"
"but… "
"If you successfully rescue Xiaonan and survive after I take you there, then I will come to find you at the right time!"
Black Zetsu listed all the structures that he thought might appear to Nagato. Now he did not say what Nagato needed to do. After all, there was no use in talking about it now.
actually.
Black Zetsu did not place all his hopes on Nagato,
He didn't want to get too rigid with his so-called uncle Otsutsuki Toneri because of this matter.
so.
He's just laying the groundwork for future possibilities.
If there is no such possibility in the future...
So this foreshadowing is nothing to him!
In any case, for Black Zetsu at the moment, as long as Nagato can agree to his request, it is equivalent to retaining such a possibility for the future.
And under this possibility.
Whether he uses it or not.
There is no loss to him.
For him, this kind of thing is completely a state of steady profit without loss.
He had no hope for this plan. It seemed like it was just one of his countless failures, but this time he was closer to success.
but.
What can be done about this.
An "uncle" appeared halfway, disrupting all his plans.
He doesn't want this either.
But that’s what happened!
In any plan, there will be things that may appear outside the plan. No one can avoid this and cannot completely calculate it.
It's like an accident in life.
There is simply no way.
Hei Jue just felt deeply helpless, but he did not complain. After all, he had failed too many times.
It's like this every time.
He has gotten used to it over the years.
The slightest hope brings despair!
So he actually has no expectations on these things. For him, it's just a seed that can be planted, and maybe it will sprout in the future.
certainly.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t sprout!
Now, Nagato is such a seed!
After all, Uchiha Madara has successfully opened the Samsara Eye with his help. He is the only one among the many descendants of Indra who he has deceived over the years to open the Samsara Eye.
These eyes.
For a time, he saw hope of rescuing his mother.
Although Uchiha Madara is dead, luckily his Rinnegan still remains!
As long as you have the eye of reincarnation, then everything is possible!
but…
What makes Hei Jue feel difficult is the nine tailed beasts!
As long as Nagato can activate the power of the Rinnegan, it is not difficult to collect all nine tailed beasts. After all, the strength of the Rinnegan lies there.
but…
There is another huge variable here
That is his so-called "uncle" Otsutsuki Toneri!
Otsutsuki Toneri also has the Samsara Eye, and he has already controlled the Heretic Golem, which is very unfavorable to his current situation. No one knows better than him what the Heretic Golem means!
That is the body of the Ten-Tails!
If there were no heretic demons...
Then everything will be in vain!
Therefore.
Hei Zetsu had been mentally prepared in his heart. If there was no other possibility, then he could only wait for Otsutsuki Toneri to die or leave, and slowly get through this difficult period.
As for the seed of Nagato.
Just bury it as you like.
If his hope is shattered, then he will deal with it in the same way, but if he is not careful and this wish comes true, then he can also save his mother Otsutsuki Toneri through this small possibility.
As for the so-called "uncle"...
Black Zetsu doesn't believe that Otsutsuki Toneri can help him rescue his mother!
Because he found that what this man did had nothing to do with rescuing his mother. He had no intention of helping him at all, and was even causing trouble.
"this… "
After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Nagato's eyes flashed with deep thoughts, because he understood that this request was equivalent to writing a bad check, and someone might come to him at any time with this air-conditioning check, and he couldn't go. reject.
"I can't promise you anything!"
Nagato thought for a while and said, because he wanted to save Konan, but if this person told him to use this reason 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!"
"As long as I'm not allowed to hurt both of them!"
"Then I can do anything!"
"certainly… "
"The premise of everything is..."
"The only thing you can do to make things smooth for me is Xiaonan!"
Nagato said one sentence after another. In his heart, Konan is the most important, followed by Yahiko, but he is also very important.
Although he was a little disappointed with Yahiko's reaction regarding Konan, this disappointment could not dissolve their friendship over the years.
He thought it through.
He couldn't do anything to hurt Yahiko.
so.
As long as he doesn't attack Konan and Yahiko.
Then he has nothing to avoid!
Even if he was asked to take action against his mentor, Jiraiya, he would not refuse. After all, in his opinion, Jiraiya was just a ninja from the Leaf Village, just a more special ninja from the Leaf Village.
In his heart.
Hatred for the Leaf Village.
It can't be eliminated by just one Jiraiya.
This is the deep pain in his heart!
"very good!"
Hei Jue smiled and nodded. His goal had been achieved, and then he said slowly: "Actually, these two people are just doing what they need. I helped you, and you helped me!"
"You guy..."
Nagato snorted coldly in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He felt that the dark guy in front of him was simply taking advantage of the situation, and everyone wanted what they needed, which was nice to say.
If Xiaonan wasn't in danger, he wouldn't have agreed to such a request!
But now he has no choice at all!
Apart from the person in front of him, he didn't know who else might know the news about Xiaonan...
"You have to tell me one more question."
Nagato took a deep breath. He felt that he couldn't be slaughtered like this. Even if his opponent had figured out his details, he still had to bargain at this time. Otherwise, he would be directly killed. If you lead by the nose, the scene will become extremely passive.
As soon as these words came out.
Hei Jue had no response.
He just looked at Nagato quietly.
After a while.
Black Zetsu nodded.
"You tell me first. After you finish speaking, I will see if I agree to it."
Hei Jue said slowly. He also didn't say anything. Now he has the initiative. As long as he has such initiative, he won't worry about any problems.
hateful!
After seeing Black Zetsu's appearance, Nagato secretly complained in his heart, but he also knew that it was indeed very difficult to bargain in such a situation.
"I need to know that guy's name!"
"The one who captured Xiaonan!"
"I know you must know who he is!"
"This is important to me!"
Nagato stared at Hei Zetsu, his face becoming extremely cold. This name was still very important to him. After all, if he saved Konan, Konan was already dead, or failed in the end, he wanted to If you want to avenge Xiaonan, you have to know who that person is!
"impossible!"
After hearing what Nagato said, Black Zetsu shook his head without any hesitation.
"All I can provide you is Xiaonan's location."
"I can even take you to Konan's location."
"But I absolutely can't tell you who that person is!"
"If you discover that person's identity yourself, then it has nothing to do with me!"
"But I won't tell!"
"If you really want to know..."
"Then the deal between us will be voided!"
There was strong determination in Hei Zetsu's tone. He knew very well that he could never agree to such a thing. Otherwise, if Otsutsuki Toneri found out about it afterwards, it would not be of any benefit to him, but would cause constant trouble.
"Why?" Nagato's face turned ugly, his hands clenched into fists, and a strong sense of powerlessness suddenly emerged in his heart. Even if he tightened his request, he would not be satisfied.
"because… "
Hei Jue drew out his voice very long. He didn't really want to answer this topic, but since he was here to plant seeds, he always had to pay something.
immediately.
He took a deep breath.
Speak slowly.
"I can't afford to offend that person!"
