"Research requires funding, beautiful Miss Paper Angel." Orochimaru said with a faint smile, "Don't you want Pain's body to recover?"
"What do you know?"
Konan's expression changed instantly, with a hint of anger.
"The Rinnegan, although powerful, according to my research, the more powerful the Pupil Skill, the greater the consumption on oneself. Moreover, that form of Pain, he must only be a puppet," Orochimaru asserted confidently. Seeing Konan's body start to split as if she was about to use her unique "Paper Ninjutsu", he felt assured of his thoughts.
Moreover, he had confirmed something else—that Konan of the Akatsuki Organization, and even the guy behind Pain, although powerful and could even be said to dominate the ninja world, and definitely decisive in killing, were not real ninjas and couldn't outsmart a true ninja in strategy.
But—
A single force reduces ten meetings.
Orochimaru sighed in his heart and developed an extreme desire for great power.
