Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 501 Negotiation
Lu Chen looked at Nagato and Konan, who had strange expressions on their faces, and continued, "Let's continue talking about Uchiha Madara's plan. I know you don't believe in the existence of gods."

Nagato nodded silently. If this person could tell him some information, then he would listen. He actually sometimes wondered why he had obtained the Rinnegan. Jiraiya once said that he was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage and would become the savior of the ninja world in the future.

Then his tone softened a little: "Please tell me Madara's plan."

Lu Chen felt that no one would believe him if he said that Uchiha Madara was a peace-loving person, so he gave a more convincing reason: "Of course his plan is to achieve immortality."

Black Zetsu was also listening to Lu Chen's nonsense. He began to doubt how much Lu Chen knew and where he knew it from.

I guess he's trying to deceive Nagato with a fabricated excuse, it just so happens that this Rinnegan really belongs to Madara.

"No matter how strong a person is, they will eventually die of old age, but the tailed beasts will never die. They will be resurrected after death. That's why Madara focused on this. Only true gods can escape death and old age."

"Why would he give me his eyes then?"

Lu Chen began to tell the truth: "Because Uchiha Madara was too old when he awakened these eyes, he had to find someone to resurrect him. You are just the vessel he happened to choose. All the suffering you have endured was designed by him for you, with the purpose of attracting you to collect the tailed beasts. After that, he will use the power of the Rinnegan to resurrect again. And the man who calls himself Madara is his subordinate. His goal is to ensure that the mission goes smoothly. Otherwise, why would your organization have problems as soon as he appeared?"

Nagato was a little bit unbelievable and took a deep breath. Konan's arm was grabbed tightly by him.

If what Lu Chen said was true, then all the suffering he had endured was planned by others. It was also the case when he met Yahiko and Konan, when his parents died, and even when he himself was killed.

Xiaonan also found this truth hard to believe. Although Nagato was holding her arm tightly, she felt nothing. Instead, she was afraid of what Lu Chen said. Could the fate of her people really be controlled by those powerful people?

Even Black Zetsu found it hard to believe. Although Lu Chen hadn't mentioned the Moon Eye Project, the plan's process was flawless. He very likely knew something.

Even Obito, who was secretly listening in from another dimension, began to doubt what Madara had said. Did Madara truly want peace in the ninja world? As a member of the Uchiha clan, he knew a great deal about the deeds of his ancestors. A person like him pursuing immortality would be more in line with his goal.

"I can't possibly resurrect Uchiha Madara." This was the only thing Nagato could say in defiance. After mastering the Samsara Eye, he knew clearly that he did have the ability to resurrect others, but this ability required him to sacrifice his own life.

"The masked man will constantly push you to achieve his goals. Haven't you already compromised with him? Once you start compromising, you'll continue to compromise, and eventually you'll fulfill all his demands."

Then Lu Chen changed the subject: "So give me your eyes, and go save your companions. Without this coveted power, you will be free from Uchiha Madara's plan. If you are worried about your safety, I will give you some protection. The God I believe in will bless you."

Although Xiaonan also wanted to win back his lost companions, Lu Chen's words sounded like a lie.

In Xiaonan's eyes, these facts were all lies made up by Lu Chen to deceive Nagato. She couldn't believe that the existence of these people was just a tool for Madara to test Nagato.

So she excitedly persuaded Nagato not to believe it: "Nagato, don't listen to him. This man definitely wants to snatch your Rinnegan. Everything he said is a lie!" In fact, there was no need for Konan to remind him. Nagato also had a unique understanding of his own Rinnegan. Ever since people recognized the uniqueness of his eyes, he has been regarded as the hope of the ninja world.

Even their master Jiraiya believed that Nagato must be the destined son mentioned by the great toad sage.

Even Nagato himself believed that he, who possessed the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths, had the responsibility of saving the world.

But Nagato denied this in his heart. If there really was someone who was the child of prophecy, then that person should be Yahiko, who held hope for the world. He was the weakling standing behind Yahiko.

However, Nagato will not sacrifice his own eyes to revive Yahiko, as this will not solve any problems. Even if Yahiko is resurrected now, he will only die again in the endless war.

This is why he also has the means to resurrect Yahiko but did not use it. If he could sacrifice his own life so that Yahiko and Konan could live happily, he would sacrifice his life without hesitation.

But the reality is that even if they sacrifice their lives, they will just return to this hopeless world.

Nagato calmed down. Although he was indeed shaken by Lu Chen's words, he now wanted to inherit Yahiko's ambition. As long as he stopped listening to the masked man's words, he would no longer be able to control him.

He also discovered the loophole in Lu Chen's promise, which was that Lu Chen actually didn't guarantee anything. The time-traveling matchstick sounded unreliable.

"I can't confirm whether everything you said is true, but I won't give up the power I possess so easily."

Lu Chen's words began to turn cold. "I could have just snatched it away, but I actually have a certain fondness for you. That's why I'm giving you a chance to choose. Today I must take your Samsara Eye. So you don't have many options. Trade with me and keep your Samsara Eye, or I'll take it away from you."

V couldn't help but scoff, "After all this talk, we still have to fight."

"I will not give up my power."

As he spoke, Nagato suddenly raised his hand and sent out a repulsive force: "Shinra Tensei!"

At the same time, Obito emerged from the side, holding a wooden spike in his hand and stabbed towards Lu Chen.

A large amount of darkness expanded from Lu Chen's feet, and he chanted: "The domain expands, only the essence exists, without me!"

Everyone here was wrapped up in the domain space by Lu Chen, including Black Zetsu who was watching from the side and Obito who suddenly appeared.
