The Transformation of Gojo Satoru

"About Nagato... I will conduct a detailed investigation." Satoru's words echoed in the office.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and he seemed to be pondering something crucial. Then he continued, "But, perhaps relying solely on my own power won't be enough."

Satoru glanced, his eyes beneath his blindfold directed at Konan and Nagato.

"Konan, Nagato... Maybe you can help me investigate this matter and uncover the truth about Nagato's Rinnegan."

Just then, Satoru suddenly remembered his past self, who always relied on his own strength to handle everything.

At that time, he was known as the strongest, and he carried many burdens alone. However, this eventually led him to distance himself from his friends, and they became strangers in the end.

Sadness welled up in his heart. If only he hadn't drifted away from them back then...

Perhaps there would have been a different ending?

The thought spun in his mind.

Nevertheless, Satoru knew that he couldn't repeat the same mistakes he made in his previous life.

Now that God had given him a chance to return, in this life, he would cherish his relationships with his friends more and face all challenges with them.

"Of course, no problem!" Konan answered without hesitation, looking at him and displaying a smile.

"Satoru, you've always been like this before, accustomed to carrying everything on your shoulders." She said softly.

"We're partners, aren't we?"

After saying this, a blush appeared on her face, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up and regained her composure.

Satoru looked at her, feeling warmth in his heart.

Konan continued, "Hearing you say that proves that you're no longer the maverick you used to be... I'm very glad!"

"Is that so?" Satoru asked himself.

It turned out that his past self unconsciously still maintained habits from his previous life, which surprised him.

His mind traced what had happened in the past. Whether it was going to search for Hanzo alone, uncovering Danzo behind the scenes, or planning to go to the Roran alone, he never discussed it with Yahiko and the others.

In all of this, he made decisions alone and wanted to act alone.

Satoru realized that unconsciously, he was still maintaining the behavioral style of his previous life and used to carry everything on his shoulders.

When did the change begin?

He thought calmly.

Was it when Nagato didn't understand him back then?

At that time, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

He was afraid that the tragedy would repeat itself, and his friends in this life would leave him and oppose him like they did in the previous life.

Since then, Satoru began to be wary of his own actions.

He understood that even the strongest sometimes grow weary. He could no longer shoulder everything like in the past.

"I agree with Satoru's view." Nagato expressed his position this time, "There are too many secrets hidden in my eyes. It's indeed difficult to fully uncover them with just Satoru."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and looked at Satoru. Determination gleamed in his eyes. "We are partners."

Satoru looked at Nagato's outstretched fist, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his fist and lightly touched Nagato's.

"Yes, we are partners." His voice full of emotion.

He knew that understanding and silent trust at this moment would be their strongest support in the future.

"In fact, I only have a suggestion." Yahiko interrupted the topic this time, "Now, the Akatsuki in our village has gradually gained a reputation in the ninja world, and many job tasks are requesting our help. However, the current development of Amegakure requires a large human resource. I hope to strengthen the backbone of the village soon so that more ninjas are willing to work hard for Amegakure."

He paused for a moment, his eyes sweeping over everyone, and continued, "Therefore, I propose that every member of the Akatsuki join the ANBU of Amegakure, and those who have not joined the ANBU can perform various tasks in the village such as construction or some daily tasks."

"As for the more difficult and challenging job tasks that ordinary ninjas find hard to handle, we can let you, Satoru, take them on behalf of the Akatsuki."

"Anyway, the Akatsuki organization has accumulated a certain reputation and influence in the ninja world. If you act on behalf of the Akatsuki and accept tasks, it will not only make your investigations more convenient, but also after completing difficult tasks, the reputation of the Akatsuki will be further enhanced."

"This is my thought after careful consideration." Yahiko added. Apparently, he had been thinking about this proposal for more than a day.

He knew that such an arrangement would not only give full power to the Akatsuki organization but also allow Satoru and others to conduct investigations better while enhancing the overall strength of Amegakure.

"Yahiko's suggestion makes sense." Satoru agreed.

"I used to have my name in the Akatsuki, but now I have officially become one of them." His words revealed a sense of ownership.

Konan suddenly interjected, teasingly, "So, aren't we only left with three in the Akatsuki now?"

When Nagato heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, as long as we're here, the Akatsuki will never disband."

This time, Konan came up with a new idea, "Maybe we should give ourselves code names, to be more comfortable when conducting secret investigations."

Her words sparked interest from the other two. Satoru and Nagato both looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Konan continued, "With code names, we can perform tasks better without revealing our true identities."

"This... sounds good." Satoru rubbed his chin.

"Let me think about it first..." Konan seemed to be pondering, and then her eyes lit up, "Mhm... My code name is Angel (Tenshi)."

In the office, the sunlight illuminated them, and the shadows of Satoru, Konan, and Nagato stretched in their interaction.
