Chapter 228 Leader of Akatsuki: Nagato

Jiraiya believed that no matter how ridiculous Akatsuki's plan to capture the Tailed Beasts was, their starting point was for the peace of the ninja world.

With this premise in place, the possibility of whitewashing arises.

Secondly, when trying to whitewash a villain, nothing beats introducing an even bigger and more evil villain.

In that case, when the main characters see this, they'll think, "Wow, there's an even more formidable villain who's likely to be redeemed," and they'll be accepted.

In the ninja world, who else could be considered a villain more than Madara Uchiha?

Before this ninja world demon, nothing else matters.

As for what kind of evil plan Madara Uchiha has, at worst we can just throw out their half-guessed "Eye of the Moon Plan".

Jiraiya no longer believed that, when faced with a crisis for the entire ninja world, they would still be targeting Nagato and Konan.

Perhaps the situation with Kumogakure will be a bit more complicated due to the grudge over the destruction of their village.

But faced with Konan's 600 billion explosive tags, whether it's compensation or threats, the Fourth Raikage A has no choice but to compromise, unless he's stupid.

"Hehe, those barbarians from Kumogakure used to extort money from everyone, even Konoha suffered in silence. As long as my plan goes smoothly, I can make those barbarians learn their lesson this time."

As for the people from Kumogakure who died when Nagato destroyed the village, that had nothing to do with Jiraiya; they weren't from Konoha.

To put it bluntly, all the major ninja villages would love for more people from the other four major ninja villages to die, so that they would no longer be a threat to their own villages.

Alright, next let's talk about the leader of the Akatsuki: Nagato.

[Initially, Madara Uchiha secretly transplanted the Rinnegan into Nagato, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, in order to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.]

"This Rinnegan really is Madara Uchiha's?"

Although Jiraiya and the others had already guessed who the owner of the Rinnegan was, they were still surprised when they actually confirmed their guess.

"Wait, if I'm not out of my mind, in my memory, the Uchiha clan's eye technique should be the Sharingan, right?"

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Sasuke, the only Uchiha present.

To be honest, even Sasuke, who is fearless, felt a bit overwhelmed being watched by so many people at the same time.

"Why are you all looking at me? You're not out of your minds yet. Our Uchiha clan's eye technique is indeed the Sharingan, not the Rinnegan."

"If that's the case, then how did Madara acquire his Rinnegan?"

At the same time, in the doorway office.

Hashirama Senju stared at the light screen in utter astonishment, as if he had heard something terrifying.

"Big brother, when you fought Madara the other day, did he use the Rinnegan?"

Hashirama shook his head and replied, "No."

He carefully recalled the scene of his last battle with Madara and continued, "However, Madara was a bit strange back then. Even though his complete Susanoo was no match for me, he dragged his weak body around and didn't know how to conserve his chakra, insisting on enduring it."

"That's not surprising."

Hearing this, Tobirama Senju didn't find anything strange about it, because, "That's just how he is."

"Yes." Hashirama nodded in agreement with Tobirama's words. "But at that time, I saw a hint of hesitation on Madara's face. It was as if he had another trump card he wanted to use, but was worried about something and didn't use it. In the end, he only used the Armored Wooden Doll."

"It seems that what he wanted to use but couldn't is the Rinnegan."

After saying this, Tobirama, like the people on the Third Hokage's side, was filled with doubt as to why Madara possessed the Rinnegan.

"The biggest difference between Madara now and Madara before is that he now has your cells implanted, and he can use Wood Release."

"Is it possible that Madara acquired, or rather awakened, the Rinnegan after having your cells implanted, brother?"

The more Tobirama talked, the more he felt that this was indeed the case.

When he cloned Hashirama Senju's clone, only the cells of the Uchiha clan were not devoured by Hashirama's cells.

Among them, the cells of Uchiha Kagami were not strong enough, and only the cells of Uchiha Madara could perfectly clone the body of Senju Hashirama.

During that period, Tobirama Senju had already begun to notice the differences between the two types of cells.

They are both in conflict with each other and also merge with one another.

It's like two types of cells splitting off from a single ancestor.

Following this line of thought, Tobirama felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"Tobirama, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Seeing his younger brother's face suddenly turn somewhat pale, Hashirama Senju vigorously rubbed his face.

"Big brother, I'm not a child anymore."

Having broken free from Hashirama Senju's "sinful" hands, Tobirama Senju merely clicked his tongue and did not voice his guess.

He still needs some evidence to confirm his suspicions.

The best evidence is none other than Hashirama Senju right before our eyes.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

If he could awaken the Rinnegan like Madara Uchiha, then everything would be connected.

However, looking at Hashirama, who hadn't even awakened his Sharingan yet, Tobirama thought that it might be many years before he could awaken the Rinnegan.

"Instead of waiting foolishly, it's faster to just go and ask Uchiha Madara."

In Tobirama's view, whether Madara Uchiha spoke or not was not important; what mattered was that he wanted to see how Madara would react.

He can make guesses as long as there is a reaction.

He was quite confident in his own judgment.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Rain was attacked from both sides due to its geographical location.

Nagato's parents were mistaken for enemies and killed by Konoha ninja.

Overwhelmed by fear, Nagato instinctively used his Rinnegan to turn the tables and kill his opponent.

But from then on, he became a lonely child.

"What a tragedy! Why did Nagato's parents have to die at the hands of us Konoha ninjas?"

"Old man, stop lamenting. This is definitely Danzo's fault."

The Third Hokage was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded firmly.

For the sake of Konoha, even if it wasn't Danzo's fault, the blame had to be placed on him.

"Old buddy, didn't you always say that everything you did was for Konoha?"

"Then now, you'll need to make another sacrifice."

Danzo: Monkey, you used the word "again" well, but I still want to ask, can I refuse?

Third generation: Of course not.

Danzo: That's alright then.

The only thing willing to stay by Nagato's side is a small dog she encounters on the street.

To survive, the man and his dog began scavenging for trash.

But during wartime, no one can guarantee they won't lose everything tomorrow, so no one pities Nagato.

[Having failed to find any trash and beg in vain, Nagato fainted from hunger by the roadside.]
