In no time at all, Konan came back from hunting Zetsu, obviously failing in finding the damn plant

I mean... if Kakuzu who 'only' lived 100 years is so hard to kill, Immagine Zetsu who lived 1000...

With a downcast expression, she walked over to Nagato, only to almost trip on air noticing his current look

Nagato had to explain to her everything that happened so far, cause Rimuru was too lazy to do so

except...

"What do you mean he is a god?" Konan asked Nagato in disbelief as she looked at Rimuru who was currently picking his nose

Ahe looked back at Nagato with a 'Are you joking with me?' face

"I'm not kidding Konan, he knows more about is than even Madara... or Obito as he called him, did

it's honestly frightening... also, he cured me in less than 10 seconds, from barely alive, to like this

He also had a Rinnegan" Nagato pointed out his reasons to believe in such a weird thing

"Rinnegan? and how do you know it wasn't YOUR Rinnegan?" She asked the relevant question

"Because he could turn it off, giving more credibility about what he said about that Rinnegan not being mine"

"Still..." Konan looked back at Rimuru in doubt

"Trust me Konan, his plan may be leaning towards insanity, but if we manage to pull it off, there won't be any more wars" Nagato said with conviction on his voice

"Are you sure?"

"I am" Nagato nodded

Konan sighed, deciding to trust Nagato on this matter

"Yo, finished talking bad about me?" Rimuru walked over, noticing they finished their discussion

"Were you listening?" Konan asked with a frown

Rimuru tilted his head and looked at her

"I mean... what else would you be doing that I couldn't be close to if not talk bad about me?" He asked with a smile

Unfortunately, no reaction from them, Nagato wasn't the most expressive, having interpreted Pain for a long time

and Konan... was Konan, alright?

"Tch, two stone faces... or is it a paper face?"

Rimuru started to say his thoughts out loud and Konan and Nagato kept looking at him like he was an idiot

'sigh... Nagato, Nagato... what kind of person you decided to follow...' Konan lamented

'Is he testing us? he is acting too differently from before for that to not be true...' Nagato quickly found a possible explanation

he only forgot that Rimuru WAS indeed insane...

well, moving on

"Anyway, what are you two going to do now, 'Angel', 'God'?" Rimuru asked adding as much sarcasm as he could in their titles

"... don't call me like that"

"What do you mean?"

They asked

"I mean, as much as Ame should be an important place to you two... you have to agree with me that, it's a shithole

has 3 flanks to 3 great ninja villages, turning it into a major battlefield in ANY war

Rains all the time, so you can't grow crops, since you don't have sunlight

has a lot of mountains, so the infrastructure is a big problem, you get it right?"

"..."

"Not to mention, our boy Tobi know where this is, and every single place of this village, so... strategically, you two should take your people and get out before he does something to them"

"I get what you mean, but..." Nagato started speaking, but

"What are you suggesting?

You wouldn't have said all that for nothing" Konan asked, interrupting Nagato mid-sentence

"Bingo!

I have the solution, young Konan

you two must have heard of Uzushiogakure, right?"

"Yes, the village of the Uzu... wait"

Nagato started talking before noticing where this is going

"Exactly, the village of the powerful Uzumaki clan. the village that took 3 whole villages to wipe out, and still causes them massive damages, and to be honest, they could have won, had their non-aggressive ways not been there...

anyway, I plan on rebuilding that place, and I also plan on using that ruined village as MY new village, and I have some people that will be there already

the question now is, will you two take the people of Ame there?"

Nagato and Konan looked at each other in doubt, should they accept it? it was not only them but their people on the line as well...

"For once, passing those whirlpools around that place is waaaaay harder than walking up some not so steep mountain in the rain

the village also has a great barrier that can help quite a lot

not to mention it has space for farming and can sustain itself without depending on any daimyo or missions for income

well, I won't just say the positive points, of course

the land of whirlpools is between Water and Fire countries, but both have to cross the water to reach the island, and this gives us some hefty tactical advantages..."

After saying his piece, Rimuru left the two to think about this

To be completely honest, it didn't matter if they chose to not go, as in that case, they should just kiss their free will goodbye

But Rimuru wanted to give them a chance, just in case they accepted

Will they accept the offer? will they decline and enter into a fight with Rimuru? will some third party make an appearance? find out in the next episode of dragon ball slime!
