Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 571 You Have to Explain It!
Aoba did not fully understand Black Zetsu's mind, even though he had already guessed that Black Zetsu was going to find Nagato when he saw Black Zetsu leave.
However.
This was only a guess.
He was not completely sure about this matter.
Only.
He did not expect this.
Konan actually directly said Nagato's name.
Aoba was silent.
His silence seemed to be putting pressure on Black Zetsu, but in fact, it was something else. He didn't know it. After all, it involved Black Zetsu's own behavior.
He originally wanted to make a further test.
However, he never expected that Konan would speak first. Fortunately, he was completely right. Otherwise, it would have been a bit troublesome to make a comeback later.
Because of this.
The way he appeared now was like he was supporting Konan making Black Zetsu a little pressure.
All of a sudden.
Black Zetsu fell into silence again. He looked up at Konan and then looked at Aoba. At this time, it was also the first time he saw the true appearance of this so-called "uncle", which was Toneri's appearance.
Now he was a little confused about what kind of attitude the other party had, and it was precisely because of this that he did not dare to speak rashly.
"What did you say to Nagato?!"
Konan glared at Black Zetsu fiercely. From Black Zetsu's expression, she vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have said something special to Nagato. However, she did not know what level their conversation had reached.
As soon as she said this.
Black Zetsu's already extremely black face turned even darker
At this time, Black Zetsu did not dare to speak lightly. His orange eyes looked at Aoba who was beside Konan. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but he hid it very well.
In Black Zetsu's eyes.
Aoba just stood there and did not say a word, but for him, the more his so-called "uncle" did not speak, the more nervous he was.
Instead, he hoped that Aoba could say more.
Even if it was some more ruthless words.
This way, his heart would feel better.
It was this kind of silence that made him have no confidence and not know what to do at all.
Damn it!
Black Zetsu cursed silently in his heart!
He had thought that it was an opportunity at that time so he went out to find Nagato, but after he found Nagato, he thought of a better plan. After confirming that Nagato had not awakened the Rinnegan, he decisively gave up Nagato.
Now that he looked back at it.
Going out was not beneficial to him at all.
Instead, his going out was exposed.
It can be said that he shot himself in the foot and caused problems, which seemed to be self-defeating!
It was too hateful!
Black Zetsu did not know how to defend himself. He felt that he had done something very meaningless, and it would be better to do nothing at all!
After all, his actions had already violated Toneri's requirements. So now, he could only say some words.
"I really didn't say anything..."
Black Zetsu defended feebly. Even he himself didn't believe what he said. Then after a moment of hesitation, he began to add.
"En..."
"That..."
"I told Nagato..."
"I know where you are..."
"But I didn't do anything!"
"I really didn't do anything!"
"I didn't bring him here!"
"I..."
Black Zetsu stared at Konan as he spoke. To be precise, he was staring at Aoba who was beside Konan. He was constantly feeling the changes in Aoba's emotions. These changes were very important to him.
He was able to change his tune so many times in a row.
It has a great relationship with Aoba.
Now, after he finished speaking, not only did his heart not become more relaxed, but he became even more nervous, and his eyes flashed with an extremely complicated expression.
"Where is Nagato?"
Konan's face turned incomparably cold, and her heart was even more convinced of what Toneri had said to her.
Sure enough.
Black Zetsu really went to look for Nagato!
This black person was not a good person at all!
It was really too infuriating!
If something happened to Nagato, it must have been done by this person in front of her!
Konan seemed to have already seen through Black Zetsu's nature. Her eyes when looking at Black Zetsu were filled with strong hostility. She felt that this person had already brainwashed Nagato.
Konan's face was very cold.
When she thought about how crazy Nagato was after she was taken away, she knew that Nagato would definitely come to find her!
As long as this part of the requirement is met, it will be easy for Black Zetsu to take advantage of it. Then just like Toneri said, Black Zetsu will take advantage of it, and in the end, it may lead to an abnormal situation.
"I don't know..."
Black Zetsu hurriedly shook his head. He didn't dare to say where Nagato went. He might return to the Land of Rain, continue to go to the Land of Earth, or even go to the Land of Fire.
These three possibilities seemed to exist in his opinion.
However.
It was precisely because such a possibility exists.
Once he said it, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.
So.
Whether he knew Nagato's location or not, he had to say he didn't know!
"Let me ask you again, where is Nagato?"
Konan's face turned even colder. She even had the thought of asking Toneri to attack Black Zetsu!
Because in her opinion, Toneri was on her side. They were together.
However.
She did not dare to confirm it completely.
After all, they had only just met. She did not think that her words would have much weight. It was already very good for him to be able to say this now.
Moreover.
Konan also had another matter that she was very concerned about...
That was that Toneri was a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, and Black Zetsu was also tentatively a member making them both people of the Otsutsuki Clan.
But she was not...
So she shouldn't demand any higher!
This was almost the limit!
Konan was very smart.
She knew that she was relying on Toneri's momentum in asking her questions, so she shouldn't ask for more. After all, only by knowing how to advance and retreat could she not be disliked by others.
Of course.
The most important reason why she dared to question Black Zetsu like this was because of Black Zetsu's ordinary strength.
There's no need to worry about how powerful Black Zetsu would retaliate against her even after she leaves.
After all, to her knowledge, she had already regarded Nagato as a member of the Otsutsuki Clan.
This information came from Aoba just now. Under his continuous persuasion, Konan had already been successfully brainwashed.
Konan first heard Aoba telling the story of Black Zetsu from the perspective of Otsutsuki Toneri and emphasized that Black Zetsu had no strength and could only do some small tricks behind the scenes. Later, she personally witnessed that Black Zetsu did not have any powerful chakra. This further confirmed her judgment.
"I, I, I..."
Black Zetsu saw Konan's interrogation and then looked at his so-called "uncle" who remained silent. He understood that this was all tacitly approved by his so-called "uncle". After he was presented with so much evidence, if he did not say anything to defend himself, the consequences might be even more serious.
Things had come to this.
There was no other way.
He could only say.
A helpless expression appeared on Black Zetsu's face. However, his face was completely black. It was impossible to see what his expression was. However, under this extremely bright light, one could still feel a trace of helplessness.
"I think Nagato is in the Land of Rain." Black Zetsu took a deep breath and said.
"Why think?" Konan keenly caught the loophole in Black Zetsu's words and continued to ask Black Zetsu.
"This..." Black Zetsu's expression became even more helpless. He thought that he could talk about some place to get through, but he didn't expect that he was still forced to answer in the same place.
At this moment.
Black Zetsu secretly looked in Aoba's direction.
Coincidentally, Aoba was also looking at Black Zetsu.
Their gazes instantly met.
The moment their gazes met, Black Zetsu immediately shifted his gaze away, and the pressure in his heart increased.
Aoba, on the other hand, had a completely different feeling.
He suddenly realized that Konan was indeed a very talented person. He didn't know whether it was the interrogation temperament she inspired after meeting Black Zetsu, or whether she had gained experience in the Akatsuki organization that had not yet entered the right track. In short, he felt that Konan's temperament had become better and better.
She already had the style of a big sister!
"Sigh..."
After Black Zetsu met Aoba's gaze, he knew that he still could not avoid this problem. He could only bite the bullet and press forward. This feeling was too problematic.
"Because..."
Black Zetsu really did not know how to smooth things over. He lowered his eyes and stared at the ground with his orange eyes. He did not look at Konan and Aoba's eyes.
"I met Nagato in the Land of Rain."
"That's why I think he's in the Land of Rain."
"But I didn't know where he ran around after that..."
"I don't know about that!"
Black Zetsu began to deliberately guide the topic to other places. After all, he had no way to say more about such things. If he continued, even he himself did not know how things would develop.
"Then... why did you go to see Nagato?"
Konan did not give Black Zetsu any time to catch his breath. After Black Zetsu said the last word, she immediately added.
Not only that.
She did not continue to dwell on the topic just now.
Instead, she focused on her new question.
This sudden question once again caught Black Zetsu off guard. After all, Black Zetsu was still immersed in how to explain where Nagato had gone.
Actually.
This question.
It was the question that Konan wanted to ask the most.
The questions she asked earlier were the foreshadowing and cover-up of the question she was asking now.
Through Aoba, Konan successfully believed that Nagato was a member of the Otsutsuki Clan. She also understood that the reason Black Zetsu went to find Nagato was most likely because Nagato was a member of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Because of this.
Her thoughts of Black Zetsu became even worse!
After all, this black-looking person was Kaguya's son. He was tentatively a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, but he was full of hostility toward the Otsutsuki clansmen. This kind of thing made her extremely angry at this kind of person who did not value family ties.
Konan told herself in her heart that she must find out why Black Zetsu went to look for Nagato. This was very important to her.
"I..."
Black Zetsu was stunned again. He didn't know how many times he had been stunned. He was a little overwhelmed by these questions. After all, no matter how he answered, there seemed to be a big problem. It would all result in him betraying his so-called "uncle".
"Alright... I'll say it!"
Black Zetsu's orange eyes turned. When he was interrogated by Konan, his head quickly turned and he found some words that he could say smoothly.
"I did go to meet Nagato!"
"That's because I already knew Nagato a long time ago!"
"So after I saw you..."
"I was going to tell Nagato where you were and tell him not to worry..."
"But I know this is not right!"
"So I came back without doing anything!"
"It can't be said that I did something I shouldn't have done..."
Black Zetsu spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture. What he said was not entirely true, but his words could indeed easily fool others.
"Wait!"
However.
Konan once again keenly caught the loophole in Black Zetsu's words.
"You said that you know Nagato a long time ago..."
"How?"
"You have to explain it!"
Konan narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt that she was extremely close to the truth she wanted to know.
