Chapter 29: Recovering Lost Mojo: Part II

Konan made her way up towards the top of the tower from which Nagato ruled over Ame. Although her outside demeanor didn't show it she was almost fearful to enter the converted throne room from where he conducted most of his business. Opening the door, she did frown upon seeing the man that claimed to be Madara Uchiha was already present. It was also due to her being convinced that she had just interrupted a conversation between them. One in which she may have been the topic of conversation.

She entered the room wordlessly as was her wont, but from the heavy silence that seemed to fill the air was tempted to ask what they had been speaking about. But the silence wasn't the thing that struck her most as she made her way to her childhood friend. It was the lighting of the room. The throne room was always kept darkened especially since it hardly mattered to Nagato. However, Konan had found that ever since her time with Naruto the illumination of the room always bothered her. It was always worse when she would first enter due to the light coming from behind her. The reason was it always left her with the feeling she was losing her friend to the darkness he surrounded himself with. As she walked through the light that was spilling in from the hall behind her, Nagato would wait for her just out of reach of it. Often needing to step towards her from the darker portions of the room where Tobi would remain.

Konan felt a small pang of worry when Nagato, as the Deva Path, didn't move towards her instead remaining near the masked man. Stopping just shy of stepping out of the light she asked, "You sent for me?"

"I did," Nagato stated finally moving away from Tobi to approach her. "Due to recent... setbacks, it seems that some of our allies need reminding of why they should not trifle with god."

"I'll go alert..."

"No, we'll handle this personally," Nagato said beginning to move for the door.

"Don't you think that's sending the wrong message," Konan said coming up behind him, "The organization might be reeling from Jiraiya's dismantling of it and from the setbacks we've received from trying to capture the jinchuriki. But for you to come out again so soon is unnecessary. I'm sure Kisame would enjoy handling such a task."

The Deva path didn't slow down as it responded, "No doubt, but I already have him performing an assignment."

"I... I see," Konan said, wanting to ask why she hadn't been informed. Instead though she said, "I'll go prepare the other..."

"There's no need for that," Nagato said once more cutting her off, "I've had the technicians working on an amplifier for the chakra transmitter. This will be a perfect opportunity to test out its extended range and power output capabilities. I wouldn't want to waste too many assets should it fail though."

Konan was again caught by surprise at what Nagato had just revealed wondering when he had ordered such upgrades and why she had not been told. But instead of giving a hint at her thoughts she merely replied, "As you wish."
