Chapter 601: Otsutsuki Clan |
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 601 Otsutsuki Clan
What's going on here?
A huge question mark popped into Yahiko and Nagato's minds as they exchanged glances, only to see each other's astonishment in their eyes.
They were both taken aback.
In fact.
They had considered many possibilities in their minds.
They both thought the people who abducted Konan should be enemies or adversaries of their Akatsuki Organization. But now, after hearing the name Otsutsuki, neither of them had heard of it before.
Such an unfamiliar name.
No hatred or resentment.
Such a question suddenly emerged in their minds, intensifying as their gaze focused on Konan, eager to hear her answer.
"That's right!"
"It's Otsutsuki Toneri!"
"He's from the Otsutsuki clan!"
"The real purpose of coming here is for..."
"Nagato!"
When Konan finally mentioned Nagato's name, her tone became particularly firm, and her eyes showed even more seriousness.
Actually.
She hadn't planned when and how to say such things.
But.
Now she had no choice.
Things had come to this.
She could only say it now.
"Me?!"
Nagato was stunned, his Rinnegan eye filled with confusion and incomprehension. What was happening now was far beyond his expectations, and almost nothing was understandable or imaginable to him.
Right now, he just felt everything was so strange.
Konan's words were strange.
The fact that Konan was abducted was also strange.
Everything that had happened in the past two days made him feel incredulous. Everything seemed like a puzzle, shrouding his understanding of the current situation.
This time.
Yahiko remained silent.
He faintly felt something special in Konan's words, as if he sensed some hidden meaning.
Yahiko glanced at Nagato beside him, deeply observing him. He knew Nagato very well. This person possessed Rinnegan eyes similar to the Sage of the Six Paths. So, whatever happened to him, Yahiko didn't find it strange at all.
"That's right, Otsutsuki Toneri came to find me, mainly because of you!"
Konan nodded slowly, staring at Nagato as she organized her thoughts while speaking. She didn't know where to start; after all, this incident had come too suddenly.
"Me?"
Nagato was even more puzzled after hearing Konan's words. His mind was filled with question marks, and everything seemed unbelievable.
However.
He didn't continue to inquire further.
He felt.
It would be better to let Konan continue.
Yahiko remained silent, still pondering. He glanced at Konan, then at Nagato, his eyes full of contemplation, thinking about what might be going on.
"Before I talk about your situation..."
Konan teased, drawing out her words deliberately to capture Yahiko and Nagato's attention.
Actually, she didn't need to do this.
Just by speaking normally, she had already captured their attention.
But.
She still wanted to say it her way.
"I want to talk about the Otsutsuki clan first!"
Konan stared at Nagato slowly as she spoke. After saying this sentence, she shifted her gaze to Yahiko, exchanged a glance with him, and then returned her gaze to Nagato.
"The Otsutsuki clan is not a family from our planet."
"Well..."
"Speaking of planets."
"Let me tell you about the concept of planets!"
Konan suddenly felt that there were too many knowledge points involved. It was no wonder that Toneri took so much effort to explain these things to her at that time. It was really difficult to explain, after all, such things were very rare.
"Planets?!"
Yahiko and Nagato were puzzled almost simultaneously. Once again, from Konan's mouth, they heard a concept they didn't understand, a concept that exceeded their cognitive scope.
"The Land of Rain, where we are located, exists within the ninja world. However, outside the ninja world, there is a larger world. Along with the ninja world, it is collectively referred to as a planet."
"Simply put, we all live on planets, and apart from land, there are oceans on planets, with the oceans covering a larger area!"
"And the ninja world we are in is on one of the landmasses."
Konan's explanation was still somewhat chaotic. She realized that her thinking was not as logical as Toneri's, and it was only after hearing Toneri's words that she understood this matter clearly. However, articulating it was another matter altogether; she understood it clearly in her mind.
But she really doesn't know how to express it.
It was a very complicated feeling.
Even Konan herself didn't know how she found that as she spoke, she found that her words weren't as clear as Toneri's.
"Just understand the general idea."
Konan added, suppressing Yahiko and Nagato, who were just about to ask questions, not giving them a chance at all.
After all.
She hadn't experienced such a thing.
Unlike Otsutsuki Toneri!
For her, it was like a story. She was just a storyteller, while Toneri was someone who walked out of the story.
"Let me continue..."
Konan didn't give these two a chance to ask questions but raised her head, looking up at the cave roof. Her gaze seemed to penetrate through this cave, across endless space, to see the countless stars, her eyes shimmering with a trace of yearning.
"The planet we are on is like the stars in the sky. It's just that in this universe, it's just one of them. In the depths of the endless universe, there are countless planets with life!"
"Among them, there is a planet called Otsutsuki!"
"The people of the Otsutsuki clan come from the Planet Otsutsuki!"
"Now you understand the concept of the Otsutsuki clan, right?"
Konan took a deep breath. Though she didn't articulate the sensation of the vast universe in her words, her heart followed her thoughts as if she had returned to that barrier, hearing Toneri's words again and reliving the story that had unfolded before.
"Phew..."
Yahiko and Nagato almost simultaneously took a deep breath. Although Konan didn't explain it clearly, they still felt the vastness inside from Konan's description.
Universe.
Planets.
These concepts were vaguely forming in their minds. However, this phenomenon was not enough to make their minds generate concrete concepts. It was just like listening to a heavenly book.
"I missed one thing."
Konan suddenly slapped her head, realizing that she had forgotten the most important thing.
"The Otsutsuki clan rules this universe!"
When Konan said this.
Yahiko and Nagato's expressions changed.
If Konan's previous words were abstract concepts, not giving them much substantial feeling, then this sentence was something that made them feel directly related.
"Konan."
"Are you saying..."
"The Otsutsuki clan no longer confines itself to planets but rules the entire universe?"
"Including our planet?"
Yahiko immediately asked Konan. This concept had overturned his cognition, and the impact on him was very strong.
After all.
If this were true.
Then his desire to bring peace to the ninja world would be just a speck of dust in the face of such a grand panorama.
It was not worth mentioning at all!
This greatly shook Yahiko's worldview.
"That's right!"
Konan nodded heavily, then said, "But the people of the Otsutsuki clan don't really intend to take over the ninja world!"
"The ninja world is just too small!"
"For them..."
"It's like a remote and backward place."
"It's not even worth it to be in their sight."
Konan explained to Yahiko. She realized that saying this would have a great impact on Yahiko, and she thought she could either avoid confronting Yahiko directly or soften her words, providing him with some psychological preparation to make it easier for him to accept.
But.
After things came to this point.
Konan didn't have so many thoughts.
Yahiko's position in her heart was different from before. What she cared more about now was Toneri.
Therefore.
As long as she could fulfill Toneri's requirements well.
Then when she saw Toneri again later, she could stand up straight without any problems.
"Then...then...what does Otsutsuki Toneri want with Nagato?" Yahiko was a bit panicked now. He glanced at Nagato beside him and said, "Why does he want to find Nagato?"
"Because Nagato is a member of the Otsutsuki clan!"
Konan directly stated the key point of this matter. She first talked about the Otsutsuki clan's situation, just to let Yahiko and Nagato understand how terrifying the Otsutsuki clan was. After they understood this point, she told them that Nagato was a member of the Otsutsuki clan.
This would have the most impactful effect!
"?????"
"!!!!!!!"
In almost an instant.
Nagato's mind was filled with question marks, and he was completely stunned, never expecting things to turn out like this.
At the same time.
Yahiko's mind was filled with exclamation marks.
Both of them were baffled by Konan's words.
"How could I be a member of the Otsutsuki clan?"
"Are you mistaken?"
"Didn't you just say that the people of the Otsutsuki clan live on Planet Otsutsuki?"
"Besides..."
"If my parents were members of the Otsutsuki clan, how could they be easily killed by people from Konohagakure?"
Nagato couldn't help but ask directly. His doubts were about to overflow. If he didn't ask, he would burst.
For a moment.
He posed the most curious questions from all the questions in his mind.
His Rinnegan eyes stared at Konan, wanting answers to these questions.
