"Forget it, why think so much about it now."
"Just pay attention to this kind of information in the future."
Kenshi secretly shook his head, pulling his thoughts back. He asked White Zetsu, "Tell me, what's the mission this time? It can't be another babysitting job, can it?"
White Zetsu calmly nodded, and Kenshi's expression immediately changed.
"Really?"
Kenshi was upset. He would rather hide himself and research the Perfect Transformation Technique than continue to be a babysitter for Nagato like he had been for the past three years. It was annoying to have to worry about being discovered whenever he wanted to eat something good.
But he couldn't disobey Madara's orders.
This time, the incident of wiping out the Daimyo's family might have really touched upon some of the Six Paths Sage's arrangements. Kenshi hadn't avenged his revenge yet, so he would have to endure it for now.
"How long?" Kenshi asked.
"Until Madara's successor is found." White Zetsu replied.
"Is it the same as before, watching Nagato from a distance?" Kenshi continued to ask.
"No." White Zetsu shook his head and said, "Madara-sama wants you to secretly infiltrate Nagato's side and secretly protect the Rinnegan on his body."
"Remember, it's the Rinnegan, not Nagato."
White Zetsu reminded him, "As long as the Rinnegan is safe, Nagato's life or death is none of your concern."
White Zetsu and Madara were afraid of someone destroying the Rinnegan. As for Nagato's life or death, they might have been worried before.
But they weren't anymore. After three years of jutsu training with Jiraiya, the Uzumaki bloodline in Nagato had been completely awakened. He possessed a chakra amount that surpassed ordinary people.
When faced with danger, the Rinnegan would automatically activate its abilities. Currently, no one in the ninja world could stand against the Rinnegan.
Not even Kenshi.
White Zetsu was confident about this.
"Infiltrate, huh?"
Kenshi pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, this was the early stage of the Akatsuki's formation. The Rain Country was a war-torn land among the three Hidden Villages.
Even though the war had stopped now, the chaos in the Rain Country hadn't ended. The country was still in a state of extreme mode, where everyone was fighting each other for survival.
Nagato and Yahiko were the ones who gathered the first batch of Akatsuki followers during this period.
He assumed that there would be a lot of fighting alongside Nagato during this period. His spiritual energy fluctuation experiment could continue.
He just had to be careful not to be discovered by Nagato and the others.
This wasn't really a problem.
With his ability to fly and his soul perception ability, it would be easy to hide from Nagato and the others.
"What about her? Can she infiltrate Nagato's side with me?" Kenshi glanced at Yezi and turned to ask White Zetsu.
"Yes." White Zetsu nodded. Since Kenshi had brought the girl to see him, it was impossible for her to stay out of it.
"That's good." Kenshi smiled and turned to tell Yezi about the task of protecting Nagato, emphasizing that Nagato was also a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Hearing that there was another member of the clan alive, Yezi's eyes lit up. But then she glanced at Kenshi, and her eyes calmed down.
The Uzumaki clan had been wiped out. Uzushiogakure was gone. Her parents were gone.
The person she was closest to now was Big Brother, and her greatest desire was to save her mother who was sealed away.
She didn't care about anything else.
Anyone who dared to attack Big Brother, even if they were a member of the Uzumaki clan, she wouldn't hesitate to strike.
...
Because they took a detour, it took them a week to fly to the Rain Country.
When they arrived, White Zetsu could go down. But before he left, he still had to remind Kenshi.
"I'm reminding you, don't use the Spirit Transformation Technique in front of Nagato. The Rinnegan can directly see your soul."
White Zetsu had known all along that Kenshi used the Spirit Transformation Technique. Kenshi thought he was being very discreet, but White Zetsu could sense his chakra.
So, he had to remind Kenshi, lest this guy use the Spirit Transformation Technique in front of Nagato and be accidentally injured by Nagato. That would be awkward.
"You mean, the Rinnegan can directly see souls?"
Kenshi suddenly became alert. He excitedly looked at White Zetsu. The heat in his eyes made White Zetsu tremble. He thought that Kenshi had coveted the Rinnegan and quickly reminded him seriously, "Kenshi, I solemnly advise you not to think about getting your hands on the Rinnegan. Let's not even mention that your life is still in Madara's hands. The Rinnegan's ability is to control life and death. If you dare to use the Spirit Transformation Technique to probe Nagato, you're the one who will die."
Before Obito proved that he could be the proxy for the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan, White Zetsu really didn't want Kenshi to die because of his arrogance.
That's right, Kenshi's terrifying talent for easily copying other people's kekkei genkai jutsu was indeed terrifying.
With this terrifying talent, Kenshi had risen to the top of the ninja world in just a few years. Even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, couldn't be sure of defeating Kenshi now.
But that was only against ordinary people.
No matter how good Kenshi's jutsu talent was, it was still limited by bloodline. He could only copy kekkei genkai that were a fusion of chakra attributes.
The Sharingan, Byakugan, and other kekkei genkai that were special bloodline powers, Kenshi couldn't copy.
Especially the Rinnegan, which was the Sage's Eye that controlled life and death.
Kenshi absolutely couldn't copy it.
This was why, even though they knew about Kenshi's terrifying talent, Madara and White Zetsu never worried that Kenshi would grow to threaten them one day.
No matter how strong Kenshi was, he was still at the limit of a mortal. There was an insurmountable gap between him and a sage.
White Zetsu was afraid that Kenshi would be too confident and lose his life, affecting his plan.
"Don't worry."
Kenshi patted White Zetsu on the shoulder and smiled, "I haven't sought revenge on the Third Hokage and Konoha yet. I'm very afraid of death. I won't have any bad thoughts about Nagato or the Rinnegan."
He would only try to copy the Rinnegan's eye power chakra and find out the difference between people's spiritual energy.
The Rinnegan's ability to directly see souls made Kenshi realize that the Rinnegan was special. The Rinnegan's eye power chakra was also special. Maybe the Rinnegan could reveal the difference between people's spiritual energy.
"Why didn't he think of that before?"
Kenshi felt a little regretful, but thankfully, the opportunity had come.
As long as he could copy the Rinnegan's eye power chakra, Kenshi felt that he would have a high chance of directly perceiving the difference in spiritual energy, completing his dream of the Perfect Transformation Technique.
In this way, lurking by Nagato's side and having long-term contact with him was actually what Kenshi needed.
Before he learned the Spirit Transformation Technique, Kenshi needed physical contact to perceive the specific nature changes when copying other people's chakra.
But now, after learning the Spirit Transformation Technique, Kenshi's chakra perception ability had reached a point where, as long as he had enough time, he could clearly perceive all the chakra nature changes within a hundred-meter radius.
The only problem now was that the Rinnegan's eye power chakra was of a very high level. It might take him a long time to perceive all the nature changes inside.
But it didn't matter. As long as he could copy it.
Thankfully, the Rinnegan's eye power chakra hadn't reached the Six Paths level. Otherwise, Kenshi wouldn't even be able to sense the chakra's existence, and he wouldn't be able to copy it.
Kenshi guessed that the Rinnegan could only allow Madara to summon the Outer Path, using the Six Paths level chakra on the Outer Path to use some simple Six Paths level jutsu. His own eye power chakra hadn't reached the Six Paths level.
Only when the Rinnegan evolved into the Rinnegan with Tomoe would the eye power chakra reach the Six Paths level.
No matter the reason or situation.
The reality was that Kenshi could sense the existence of the Rinnegan's eye power chakra in Nagato's eyes. As long as he had time, he would definitely be able to copy the same Rinnegan eye power chakra.
Then, just like he copied Wood Release chakra, he would be able to use some of the Rinnegan's abilities.
For example, seeing souls.
In this way, he would definitely be able to perceive the difference in spiritual energy.
"You... I'll be watching you!"
White Zetsu didn't quite believe Kenshi's words, but thinking about how he could control the forbidden jutsu in Kenshi's heart, he felt a little reassured. He just had to keep a close eye on Kenshi.
This wasn't difficult. After all, he also needed to keep an eye on Nagato.
"Haha, okay." Kenshi smiled.
After that, White Zetsu jumped off the clay bird and merged with the earth. Kenshi and Yezi continued to fly, looking for Nagato, and also thinking about how to naturally encounter and join them.
