Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 182 Nagato's Shock (2/2)

The Land of Rain, the Hidden Village of Rain.

Space distorted, and Obito and Konan, appearing from the vortex, looked at Pain in front of them.

"It seems you're quite worried about us... You've had the Heavenly Dao guard this place for three whole days?"

As Obito spoke, he took out a briefcase, which contained the final payment that Iwagakure had just settled, filling the entire briefcase.

"Is this still for Kakuzu? That guy's mission took so long this time, did he go to the gold exchange office to earn extra money again?"

Obito's feigned nonchalance was indeed a perfect move, prompting Pain to ask directly, "It seems their power didn't exceed your expectations?"

Obito raised his head slightly, his Mangekyou Sharingan beneath his mask staring directly at Tendo: "It's nothing more than the power I once rejected. A junior, a brat from the Uzumaki clan. He fought well, but that's all."

"No matter how powerful the force, it has no effect on me..."

Xiao Nan, who was standing to the side, was taken aback by what he said, but she ignored him.

Instead, he said to Payne, "Uzumaki Sora has been killed."

After he finished speaking, Payne remained silent for a long while.

He then said, "It seems that it was the right thing to do to have him go with you. With Uzumaki Sora's abilities, he can miraculously revive after just one day."

Pain then looked at Obito: "Have you made a copy of the information regarding Uzumaki Sora and Uchiha Kumo's powers?"

Obito smiled and replied, "It seems you're quite interested in information about these two people..."

Obito then threw a videotape at Pain.

Payne, upon receiving the videotape, said: "The source of information about Sora Uzumaki has always been very mysterious. His power needs to be treated with caution."

Obito chuckled: "Does calling yourself a god require some caution? No one can stop the Eye of the Moon Project, not even Uzumaki Sora!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito disappeared into the vortex.

Konan glanced around, her gaze finally settling on Pain: "Has the Heavenly Dao been here for three days? Can its true form withstand it?"

Payne shook his head slightly: "It's very calm. Without fighting, the energy expenditure isn't significant."

The two walked into the tower as they talked, and then Konan arrived at Nagato's main body.

……

Half an hour later, Nagato watched the video copied from Iwagakure.

"call……"

After letting out a long sigh, Nagato looked at Konan: "The power of these two people..."

Nagato, who considered himself a god, did not say what followed.

But Konan countered, "It has already surpassed the power of the Six Paths of Pain, hasn't it? Or rather, even if you unleash the Rinnegan, you wouldn't be able to withstand such power."

"The Super Shinra Tensei can sweep away everything, but with the chakra and life energy of those two, especially Uchiha Kumo's last burst of red steam, even the Super Shinra Tensei probably couldn't stop them..."

As soon as he finished speaking...

For the first time, Nagato did not refute.

The next moment, Xiao Nan stretched out her hand, and pieces of paper flew everywhere.

After landing on the ground, a barrier that shields both the inside and outside senses appears.

Nagato looked at Konan, his eyes filled with doubt.

"This time... I obtained a lot of information from Uzumaki Sora."

Nagato then asked, "Did you manage to extract it? It seems that choosing you as his teammate this time was definitely the right decision."

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly: "No, in fact, the information was obtained by Uzumaki Sora himself. Among them was the confirmation of Tobi's identity."

???

Nagato was taken aback. Uchiha Madara?

Both Nagato and Konan had doubts about the identity the other party claimed.

Because regardless of which legendary figure has a different personality and way of doing things, they are all quite different from Ah Fei.

Konan thought for a moment and continued, "That guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara, the information he got from Uzumaki Sora, is that he is Uchiha Obito from Konoha..."

Uchiha Obito?

Nagato was taken aback. Having always considered Konoha as his hypothetical enemy, he had also gathered information about Konoha.

The information about the name Uchiha Obito dates back to the Third Shinobi World War, before Yahiko's death.

but……

How could such a peculiar ability and the Mangekyou Sharingan be used without restraint?

"I remember the information about Obito Uchiha. He was the unlucky Uchiha who was killed by Iwagakure during the battle at Kannabi Bridge in Konoha, right?"

"At his age at that time, how could he possibly have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? And that kind of power of intangibility..."

Konan shook her head slightly, then replied, "It's not impossible for Obito Uchiha, who didn't die, to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan afterward. As for Uchiha Kumo, he awakened that eye at the age of eight."

"And then there was the surprise attack by Uzumaki Sora on Amegakure six years ago. Looking back now, Tobi's attitude was very strange. He... seemed flustered!"

As Konan finished speaking, Nagato also recalled the surprise attack by Uzumaki Sora.

At that time, it was clear that Uzumaki Sora and Tobi had already been in contact before that incident. And on that occasion, Uzumaki Sora's return truly injured him.

So, if it really was Obito Uchiha, how did he know about the Eye of the Moon plan, a method that could bring world peace?

At this moment, Konan looked into Nagato's eyes and said, "It's not just about Tobi's identity; he also shared some information about your Rinnegan, Nagato."

Nagato paused for a moment, then scoffed, "Is it the same old story again? These eyes awakened when I was very young, even before I met you and Yahiko."

"If, under these circumstances, my eyes don't even belong to myself, then whose are they? If I had known how old Obito was when I awakened these eyes, he'd probably still be studying in Konoha, right?"

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly: "As for the specifics, Uzumaki Sora said that if you're willing, he'll come back and discuss it further."

After a long silence, Xiao Nan clenched her fists.

He then continued, "There's one more thing... When I was kidnapped, you and Yahiko went alone to form an alliance with Hanzo. Tobi was also involved in that matter."

"After Yahiko's death, the former members of the Akatsuki also disappeared one by one. It wasn't that they fled after hearing that Yahiko had been killed."

"Shortly after you and Yahiko left, Kyusuke received intelligence that Konoha's Anbu were converging on Hanzo's territory in the Land of Rain. Upon receiving this intelligence, Kyusuke realized something was wrong."

"Immediately, Kyusuke and Daibutsu led all the former Akatsuki members to find you two, either to stop them or to provide support."

"But... they were all killed by Afei."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato's breathing became noticeably heavy.

It's important to understand that after Yahiko's death due to Hanzo's scheme, Nagato did much more than just take over Amegakure.

When Hanzo was killed, none of his family members, including his wife, children, and elderly relatives, survived.

Such hatred, if Ah Fei is also involved, then everything becomes a joke!

Nagato lowered his head, and the Rinnegan in his eye sockets suddenly erupted, a force sweeping across the area.

At this moment, the scenes of Ah Fei, who was wearing a mask, approaching Xiao and coming to him began to flash rapidly through his mind.

Nagato closed his eyes, and the burst of chakra began to subside.

However, Konan, who was standing beside him, knew very well that Nagato was filled with rage at that moment.

"Is there anything else?"

Konan shook her head indifferently: "The specifics are unclear, but given Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities, coupled with his duel with Uchiha Kumo this time, I can't think of any reason why he would lie to us."

After a moment's thought, Nagato said, "Sasori and Juzo have already submitted to him, haven't they?"

Xiao Nan nodded: "That's true. We were aware of this as well, but we let it go because it wasn't necessary."

Nagato lowered his head and smiled: "And now, Konan believes this information because of his words, doesn't she? With such abilities, he knows the past of everyone in Akatsuki like the back of his hand, making them submit is too easy for him."

Upon hearing this, Konan frowned slightly, then looked at Nagato: "It's not just you who inherited Yahiko's will, but also me."

Shaking his head, Nagato replied, "It's not that I doubt you, it's just that I suddenly feel a little ridiculous."

"Possessing the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, he calls himself a god. Such a derogatory statement seems quite fitting now..."

Nagato then looked at Konan: "Back then, in order to make me realize the darkness and abandon Yahiko's naive ideas, Obito destroyed the previous Akatsuki, causing Yahiko to die at my hands..."

"Then today, in order for me to follow his will, Uzumaki Sora exposed all the deceptive appearances."

"But whether it's Obito or Sora, all they did was seek the power emanating from those eyes..."

"And Yahiko, Kyusuke, Daibutsu... every single one of the previous Akatsuki members who died was plotted against and killed because of these eyes..."

"Putting himself on his own merits? Hah..."

As Nagato's self-deprecating voice faded, Konan frowned, about to say something, but was stopped by Nagato raising his hand.

"Xiao Nan... I need some peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan could only frown and reply in a deep voice, "No matter what, I will always stand behind you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Nan turned and left the room, but she didn't go far; instead, she stayed outside to keep watch.

She knew very well that Nagato in this state was bound to be in a dangerous situation.

Under the cover of night, it was already past midnight.

Meanwhile, Nagato, hidden in the shadows of the tower, was suppressing his emotions.

Yahiko died because of those eyes, and the previous generation of Akatsuki was also destroyed because of those eyes.

Such a painful world, such a world filled with killing.

Only when everyone experiences this kind of pain can they truly cherish peace!

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock sounded, and then the door to the room at the top of the tower was pushed open, revealing the unharmed Uzumaki Sora, who stood before Nagato with a light smile on his face.

Behind him followed Xiao Nan.

"The resurrection was so quick, is it calculated from the early morning hours, taking into account the past day?"

Sora nodded, then looked at Nagato and said, "Still doubting what I said?"

Nagato shook his head slightly: "What you said... is perhaps no longer important. Leading this world towards true peace is what I need to do now."

"True peace? Pshaw..."

After a sneer, Kong slowly said, "What kind of peace? Is it starting the Eye of the Moon Project and everyone just dreaming? Or is it creating a weapon capable of destroying a nation in one strike, deterring everyone from war?"

Nagato frowned slightly: "Anything that can prevent war from ever happening again, whether it's in a dream or after experiencing the pain and living in fear, is acceptable!"

Kong shook his head: "You're wrong. There's no true peace under the Eye of the Moon Plan. The effect of that spell isn't just to immerse everyone in a dream."

Upon hearing this, Nagato looked at Sora: "You also know the final outcome of Project Eye of the Moon?"

Kong smiled and said, "What do you think... how exactly did White Zetsu come about? The 100,000 White Zetsu clones can change forms, have their own consciousness and thought processes, but they are all appendages of the original body."

White Zetsu...?

For a moment, Nagato was stunned.

Uzumaki Sora continued, "All White Zetsu are, in fact, people who were affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi and were eventually transformed into them."

"In this scenario, if everyone in the world is killed, would such a world still be a world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato looked ahead thoughtfully.

White Zetsu?

Is it possible to make someone fall into a dream and die silently, eventually turning into fertilizer to catalyze the emergence of White Zetsu?

If all the people in this world were to turn into White Zetsu, then there would truly be no more wars in a world without humans.

After a long pause, Nagato asked, "I want to know, who else is behind Obito Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this, Sora knew that Nagato was already hesitating.

In fact, Nagato was clearly thinking about many things at that moment.

Obito Uchiha's age was a major disadvantage; at that age, the Eye of the Moon Plan was clearly not his masterpiece.

Therefore, there must be someone else behind Obito Uchiha.

At that moment, Sora smiled and replied directly, "Uchiha... Madara!"

In an instant, the word resurfaced in Nagato and Konan's minds.

"If that guy named Obito isn't Madara Uchiha, then how could Madara Uchiha, who was recorded as being defeated and killed by the First Hokage, possibly still be alive today?!"

Sora shook his head slightly: "In the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha's goal might have been partly to truly fight Hashirama Senju. But his real objective was to gain Hashirama Senju's power."

What is the power of Hashirama Senju?

Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, Uzumaki Sora continued, "Divide Yin and Yang into two poles. The two are opposites and interact with each other, resulting in the myriad phenomena of the universe. Madara knew the information on the stone tablet left behind at the Naga Shrine of the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan are descendants of Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, who inherited the Sage's Eyes."

"The Senju clan are descendants of Ashura, another son of the Sage of Six Paths, who inherited the body of a sage."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Nagato froze.

His Rinnegan is the eye of the legendary Sage of Six Paths...

But what about the Uchiha clan, who inherited the Sage's Eye?

Kong Moran said in a deep voice, "Besides a real fight with Hashirama Senju, Madara's main objective is this: the power of all things in the universe, namely, the Rinnegan!!!"
