Chapter 676: You Want to Defeat Me?

"Renya, do you know what you're saying?"

Konan frowned as she looked at Renya, her voice slightly cold.

She felt that this guy was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

If that were really the case, she wouldn't mind letting him suffer a bit!

Although Konan was a woman, her strength was far from weak.

"I'm not joking. Give me 100 billion explosive tags, and I'll help you deal with the masked man in your organization."

Renya spoke with a serious expression.

After all, he possessed dual Kamui, he just hadn't had the chance to use them.

He also didn't know whether the spaces entered by the two Kamui were the same.

If they were the same, then things would get interesting.

He could enter the Kamui space first, and when Obito went in, he could scare him—just thinking about it was amusing...

And then he could bring Danzo along to stir up trouble together.

People often have a lot of patience when doing bad things.

Hearing this, Konan's pupils suddenly contracted. How did he know about Madara's existence?!

Madara had never appeared within the organization; he had always remained behind the scenes. The others didn't even know he existed...

Renya had only joined the organization two days ago, so how could he know about him?!

"I know him," Renya said. "He's not Uchiha Madara. I won't tell you his true identity."

"Give me 100 billion explosive tags, and I'll help you eliminate the mysterious masked man."

Looking at Renya's confident expression, Konan didn't respond immediately.

Although she didn't know how he had learned about this, 100 billion explosive tags didn't seem like a loss.

The mysterious man's abilities were special; it was difficult to defeat him with conventional methods.

Even she herself wasn't confident she could kill him.

If Renya really could defeat him, then 100 billion explosive tags would be completely acceptable!

This matter needed to be discussed with Nagato...

"I don't know what you're talking about." Konan glanced at him, then turned and left without hesitation.

Before understanding Renya's background, she didn't want to discuss the masked man with him.

Renya looked at her departing figure and shook his head helplessly.

"I hope she can listen."

It was only because Konan was technically his disciple's disciple that he was willing to help deal with Obito.

Otherwise, he would have already run off with the money and explosive tags.

"Pain, I have something to tell you..."

Konan immediately went to find Nagato and explained what had just happened.

"He really said that?" Nagato asked in surprise.

It seemed that the new member was far from simple, daring to boldly claim he could deal with the masked man.

He couldn't help but suspect that Renya and Danzo had joined the Akatsuki specifically to eliminate the mysterious man...

"Yes. What do you think?" Konan asked.

They weren't truly on the same side as the masked man; both sides were merely using each other.

Nagato and Konan knew the masked man had ill intentions, but to achieve their goals, they had no choice but to cooperate.

If there was a chance to eliminate him, they certainly wouldn't mind.

Nagato fell silent for a moment before speaking softly,

"We can try contacting him. If he really can kill Madara... we can agree to his conditions."

The masked man's ability was special. Even with the Rinnegan, he wasn't confident he could kill him.

He really didn't know where Renya's confidence came from...

"I understand."

Konan nodded and turned to leave.

...

Deep within the Akatsuki base.

"Obito, guess what I found out?"

Black Zetsu once again approached Obito, his expression playful.

Uchiha Obito stood with his back to him and didn't even turn his head.

"Black Zetsu, address me as Madara. I don't want to repeat myself."

In the past, it didn't matter if Black Zetsu called him by name. But after news of Madara appearing in Konoha spread, he demanded to be called Madara!

Since the real Uchiha was dead, then he was Uchiha Madara...

"I understand, Madara." Black Zetsu nodded, then continued, "Guess what I learned?"

Uchiha Obito didn't respond, so Black Zetsu had no choice but to continue.

"Uchiha Renya said he would help Konan deal with you, in exchange for 100 billion explosive tags."

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito finally turned his head, revealing a single crimson eye.

"Deal with me?"

As if hearing a joke, his voice grew colder.

"I don't know where he gets his confidence!"

Regarding this survivor of the clan massacre night, Obito hadn't paid much attention.

Just an Uchiha with three tomoe Sharingan.

He was no match for him at all!

The only one worth his caution was Uchiha Itachi, who also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Unless… Uchiha Renya also had the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"I think you should be careful," Black Zetsu reminded softly.

Obito was merely a pawn of a pawn. If anything went wrong, the plan wouldn't proceed smoothly.

"Heh, let me meet him."

With that, Uchiha Obito's voice vanished from the spot.

Even if he somehow knew of his existence, so what...

Watching Obito disappear, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes.

What a foolish and arrogant guy!

If Renya dared to say this to Konan, it meant he had confidence.

Yet Obito didn't take him seriously at all.

Foolish without realizing it!

Thinking about it, if Obito were truly smart, he wouldn't have been manipulated so easily by Madara.

Of course, in his eyes, Uchiha Madara wasn't much smarter either—otherwise he wouldn't have been played so easily by him.

The more fools in this world, the better!

That way, he could easily rescue his mother...

"Renya, you went to see Konan?" Danzo asked suspiciously.

He remembered his good friend mentioning that Konan had a lot of explosive tags.

Could it be that Renya was planning a robbery?!

"Yes, I discussed a deal with her. It should succeed soon."

He didn't think Nagato would refuse his proposal.

After all, even without Uchiha Obito, Nagato—with the Rinnegan—could still gather the nine tailed beasts.

As long as he didn't get talk-no-jutsu'd by Naruto.

Otherwise, it wouldn't matter what he had.

Not just Nagato—even Six Paths Obito could be defeated by talk-no-jutsu. The protagonist's power didn't need further explanation.

With nothing to do in the organization, Renya chatted with Danzo for a while before returning to his room.

If nothing unexpected happened, Konan or Obito would come looking for him.

After all, the Akatsuki was full of Black Zetsu's informants. His conversation with Konan had definitely been overheard by White Zetsu.

Given Obito's nature, he would definitely come find him and show off the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan...

Even if he didn't come, he would surely hide in the Kamui space to monitor his every move.

Just as Renya expected, not long after he returned to his room, the space began to distort.

As a vortex formed, Obito—wearing an orange spiral single-eye mask—appeared in Renya's room.

His pair of three-tomoe Sharingan stared at Renya as he imitated Madara's voice and said:

"Renya, you want to defeat me?"
