I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Suddenly, a murderous glint flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes. He already knew everything, which meant that everything he had done before had been a lie.

He knows everything!

"Don't be so impatient, Konan. I've always been sincere towards you. During this time, I've let you discover everything here and also given you the opportunity to tell Nagato about it. But unfortunately, he seems to have misunderstood."

"You knew my identity from the very first time we met?!"

Xiao Nan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"That's right, you are Jiraiya's disciple. Speaking of which, Jiraiya had just left Konoha when you arrived."

"So what exactly do you want to do? And what exactly do you mean by the truth you're talking about?"

It's about the masked man!

Konan didn't actually believe the masked man from the beginning, but at that time Nagato was already deeply mired in hatred and also stubbornly believed that the Akatsuki could only achieve what they wanted through force, and that everything Yahiko had done had failed.

He will inherit Yahiko's will and continue to lead the Akatsuki organization, but instead of lobbying major powers, he will use force.

This became the point by which the masked man bewitched Nagato.

“I said I want to bring peace to the world. Everyone, including you and Nagato, should stop going down the wrong path. Come on, take me to Nagato. I will persuade him.”

As he spoke, Bai Ye reached out and hugged Xiao Nan's head, pulling her into his arms and gently stroking her hair.

He could sense Xiao Nan's inner struggle.

Was it because he longed for peace but was unwilling to go against Nagato's wishes?

"Is that masked man Madara Uchiha?"

"No, Madara Uchiha is dead, and Nagato's Rinnegan wasn't his; it belonged to Madara Uchiha."

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Xiao Nan's eyes widened, then she closed them in pain.

If the Rinnegan belonged to Madara Uchiha, then she could already imagine that Nagato's life was a tragedy.

But she still stubbornly retorted, "How did you know?"

She tried to defend herself, but it was on behalf of Nagato; at least she shouldn't be so cruel.

"Because I also have it, the combination of Uchiha and Senju, plus the need for Indra and Ashura's chakra to awaken the Rinnegan, while Nagato didn't have any of those."

He has it too!!?

Bai Ye directly told her the answer, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"Akatsuki has arrived in the Ninja Country, and their target is the Tailed Beasts."

Konan was in great pain, feeling as if she had betrayed Nagato.

"I know, I've already sent people to capture them. Take me to Nagato, I'll end your suffering, and then I'll help Nagato heal his leg."

That last sentence seemed to be the final straw for Konan. She suddenly looked up at Byakuya and asked, "Can you really heal Nagato's leg?"

"At least we can give it a try. His body has been constantly drained of life energy by the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo. If it weren't for the Uzumaki clan, he would have died long ago. That's why Madara Uchiha placed the Rinnegan on him."

"I'll take you!"

Xiao Nan nodded and finally decided to take Bai Ye with her.

After saying that, she turned her body into a piece of paper and disappeared from the spot.

at the same time.

The other members of Xiao were also surrounded by people arranged by Bai Ye.

"Brother Deidara."

Kurotsuchi looked at Deidara with a complicated expression, while Onoki, standing beside him, was also somewhat angry at Deidara's lack of ambition.

This guy betrayed the Iwa ninja and joined the Akatsuki!

"Hey, old man, this is the perfect opportunity for you to see my art!"

Although Deidara said this, a trace of fear lingered in his heart.

Although he knew he would meet the old man here, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid when he saw Onoki again. In Iwagakure, wasn't Onoki the person he feared the most?

"Hey, Brother Scorpion, let's team up and get rid of this old man later!"

Deidara leaned close to Sasori and whispered something, but before he could finish speaking, another voice came from the side: "Sasori, it's been a long time."

"Grandma Chiyo".

Sasori's gaze fell on Chiyo, and then when he saw the person next to Chiyo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Tsunade Senju and Pakura?

"Hidan, hurry up and get on with me!"

"Now that you know Kakuzu, what's the rush?"

The zombie duo are infiltrating to capture Two-Tail, having already learned its location.

However, after passing a certain spot, the two stopped and looked into the distance.

"You're finally here, you idiot!"

Killer Bee was rapping in his strange accent, while Ai, standing beside him, frowned deeply, his impatience already showing on his face.

"Mr. Ai, Kakuzu is in your hands now, and Hidan is my responsibility."

"I understand, Shisui."

Trouble.

Kakuzu looked at the three people in front of him and was speechless.

Upon arrival, they encountered the AB duo from Kumogakure and Shisui of Konoha's Body Flicker Technique.

At the same time, Gaara and Naruto were being guarded by Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, and Mei Terumi, and the other Jinchuriki were also there.

Bai Ye had long been prepared for the arrival of the Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki are known for their strong team fights, so we also have a team fight lineup to counter them.

Deidara can fly, so we'll use Onoki to fight him. To deal with Sasori, we'll just use a high-end combination. It used to be Sakura and Chiyo, but now we'll use Tsunade, along with Chiyo and Pakura.

Kakuzu's opponent is the AB combination, while Hidan uses Shisui, which not only has speed but also illusion techniques.

It's a bit of a shame that Itachi and Kisame didn't come.

Originally, the rights and obligations were reserved for Fugaku Uchiha, Mei Terumi, and several other Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts.

If they come, then Naruto, Gaara, and Byakuya will be guarded by other people.

Inside a wooden house made of paper near the Ninja Kingdom, Nagato stared blankly at Konan behind Byakuya.

He never expected that Xiao Nan would bring Bai Ye along.

"Nagato, I'm here to negotiate."

Bai Ye didn't let Xiao Nan speak, because he believed that Xiao Nan herself was also feeling very bad about this kind of betrayal.

This is where a man's responsibility comes into play. Xiao Nan has already brought the person over, so there's no need for Xiao Nan to worry about anything else.

"I'm sorry, Nagato, I was persuaded by him."

Konan knew that Nagato was waiting for her to speak since he hadn't said a word.

She did indeed betray us.

"No, I do want to see him before taking any action."

Nagato took a deep breath and did not blame Konan.

Konan would never betray him. The reason she brought Byakuya to him was probably because she was genuinely moved. Nagato was also very curious about what exactly moved Konan.

Similarly, he had wanted to see Bai Ye for a long time, as if Bai Ye had come to negotiate with him this time. He wanted to see how Bai Ye, who was blind, would negotiate with him!

Chapter 210 Madara's Resurrection, the Prelude to the Fourth Shinobi World War, Seven Lottery Draws!

"So tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? Your eyes are no longer usable, and as an Uchiha, your fighting power has been reduced by more than a fraction. How can you protect this peace?!"

Looking at the bandage around Byakuya's eyes, Nagato now seriously doubted whether Byakuya still had the ability to suppress everything.

If Byakuya's eyes were still intact, then Nagato would naturally believe that Byakuya could do it.

"Even if I had no eyes, you would still be no match for me."

Bai Ye's words, coupled with his calm tone, made Nagato somewhat unable to hold back.

Is this guy blind so he can't see his Rinnegan?

How could you say that?

"The Rinnegan isn't yours; you can't unleash its true power. And true strength always comes from your own abilities, not external forces."

As Bai Ye spoke, Nagato felt that Bai Ye's aura was getting stronger and stronger, as if he could kill Nagato in an instant.

Don't mistake the half-step Six Paths level for the Six Paths level!

Once he awakens his Tenseigan, he will immediately possess the combat power of a Six Paths level expert.

He's not at the Six Paths level yet simply because he doesn't have the Truth-Seeking Jade; he basically has all the other abilities.

The Tenseigan's built-in Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Truth-Seeking Balls are real and tangible.

"What do you mean?"

Nagato's Rinnegan powers erupted, but after the brief burst of power offset the pressure from Byakuya, a feeling of being drained instantly swept over Nagato's entire body.

"I mean your eyes don't belong to you. The Rinnegan isn't yours at all. It originated from the Sage of Six Paths, who had two sons, one named Indra and the other Ashura."

One inherited the eyes of an immortal, and the other inherited the body of an immortal.

The clan that inherited the Sage's Eyes was later called the Uchiha, while the clan that inherited the Sage's Body was the Senju, including the Senju's distant relative, the Uzumaki.

"All things in the universe must be united as one; to awaken the Rinnegan, one needs both a Sage Body and Sage Eyes."

Byakuya told Nagato about the origin of the Rinnegan. In his opinion, it would be difficult to choose the most tragic person in the Naruto world, but Nagato would definitely be on the shortlist.

His life was a tragedy. After Madara Uchiha planted the Rinnegan in him when he was a child, his life was predetermined.
