Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 219 Persuading Jiraiya

Chiga wasn't there to lecture Jiraiya. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Lord Jiraiya, do you know about the stone tablet the Uchiha clan placed at the gathering?"

"I know a little bit. It is said that the stone tablet is an item that your clan has passed down for thousands of years. There are even rumors that it was left by the Sage of Six Paths."

Jiraiya nodded.

Jiraiya also had some understanding of the Uchiha clan, which had been passed down for so many years.

That stone tablet was indeed very special; it required the power of the Sharingan to decipher it.

In addition, there are rumors that it was passed down from the Sage of Six Paths, so some members of the Uchiha clan even believe that their clan is descended from the Sage of Six Paths.

"So what do you think that stone tablet says, as seen through my eyes?"

To increase his persuasiveness, Chiga even opened his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Looking into those eerie eyes, Jiraiya fell silent.

Seeing that Jiraiya remained silent, Chiga continued, "That shows the evolutionary path of the Sharingan."

"The Sharingan can evolve step by step from the first tomoe."

"And the Mangekyou Sharingan is not the final evolution of the Sharingan."

"And above that, there's a pair of eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"And above the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, guess what?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim enviously, "What?! The name 'Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan' is already this long, and there's more above it?"

"Your Uchiha clan is truly blessed!"

Jiraiya finally understood why the Uchiha clan had been able to stand strong for thousands of years.

Normally, a family's bloodline limit is awakened once it is awakened, and then they gradually strengthen their bloodline limit through their own cultivation.

This kind of strengthening has limited impact on overall strength.

But the Sharingan is ridiculous; with each evolution, it raises one's strength to a higher level.

After reaching the Mangekyou Sharingan, it can even give rise to special abilities.

Damn it, how are we ordinary ninjas supposed to compete with you Uchiha clan members?

Ignoring Jiraiya's sarcastic remark, Chiga looked directly into Jiraiya's eyes and said, word by word, "Rinnegan! The Sharingan evolves into the Rinnegan in its final form!"

"What?!"

Jiraiya was utterly shocked and stared at Chiga in disbelief.

The news was so shocking that Chiga remained silent, allowing Jiraiya to calm down.

In the ninja world, the Rinnegan has always been a legend.

These eyes have always been a standard feature of the Sage of Six Paths.

As time went on, people in the ninja world even believed that, apart from the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan would never appear again.

Jiraiya thought so too before he met Nagato.

Upon meeting Nagato, Jiraiya felt that the appearance of the Rinnegan was the hope for peace in the ninja world, which is why he valued Nagato so much.

If the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan is truly the Rinnegan, then Nagato...

Jiraiya looked at Chiga with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:

"So, you believe that Nagato still possesses Uchiha clan blood, and has even exhibited atavistic traits, which is why you want to find Nagato and bring him back to the village for research?"

"."

Chiga rolled her eyes at Jiraiya and said, "If the Rinnegan could be obtained simply by reverting to one's ancestral form, then over the past thousand years, the Uchiha clan should have produced at least one person with such eyes!"

The Rinnegan can only evolve through the union of the reincarnations of Indra and Asura.

However, from a genetic perspective, Chiga believes that there is a chance that the Rinnegan could be awakened by the union of an ordinary Uchiha clansman and an ordinary Senju clansman.

After all, they are all descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, but after so many years of inheritance, their bloodline has become so diluted that it can be ignored.

"Then what do you mean?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

Chiga asked, "Do you really think Nagato's Rinnegan is his own?"

"Haha, who else could it be but Nagato?"

Jiraiya looked at Senga with a puzzled expression and laughed.

Chiga didn't name names, but instead said, "I obtained the Rinnegan, the final evolution of the Sharingan, from that stone tablet of the Uchiha clan. So, who else before me had the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"Uchiha Madara?!"

"You mean Madara Uchiha evolved his Mangekyou Sharingan into the Rinnegan, and then gave those eyes to Nagato?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible! Madara Uchiha is already dead!"

"Back then, it was the First Hokage who personally killed Madara Uchiha. The First Hokage was the God of Shinobi; even if he was unreliable, he could still tell whether an enemy was dead or not!"

Faced with Jiraiya's disbelief, Chiga explained:

"The Uchiha clan also possesses a forbidden technique called Izanagi. Within the duration of this technique, even death can be reversed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was momentarily at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Alright, assuming Madara Uchiha didn't die and actually evolved his eyes into the Rinnegan, then why would he give those eyes to Nagato?"

Chiga explained:

"That's a good question. Even if Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, it probably wouldn't be of much use to him with his crippled body!"

"Therefore, he wanted to give his eyes to someone else, hoping to be resurrected someday, since the Rinnegan possesses the ability to revive!"

"Nagato was probably just a tool prepared for his resurrection!"

"So, the reason I went to see Nagato this time was actually to help him!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned. His initial disbelief wavered slightly upon hearing this explanation.

The Rinnegan is the eye that controls life and death, so it is normal for it to possess the power of resurrection.

Moreover, it must be said that Madara Uchiha was really old, and he did need to be resurrected to have a healthy body.

However, the information we received from Chiga today was so explosive that it's hard to believe.

"Lord Jiraiya, whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. Just give me a letter in your own handwriting, and I will have a proper talk with Nagato."

Without evidence, Chiga knew it would be difficult to convince Jiraiya.

However, all Chiga said was simply to get a handwritten letter from Jiraiya and gain the initial trust of Nagato and the other two.

The next step, persuading Nagato, requires Madara Uchiha's assistance.

Having arrived at Nagato's location, Madara Uchiha would naturally take action to secure his Rinnegan.

Whenever Madara Uchiha takes action, he will inevitably leave a flaw. Chiga wants to seize this opportunity to let Nagato know that he is just a tool.

Jiraiya remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Okay!"

Regardless of whether what Chiga said was true or not, Chiga's explanation was enough to make Jiraiya understand.

Chiga genuinely doesn't want to cause trouble for Nagato and the other two.

Once Jiraiya confirmed this, he was relieved.
