Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

"Huh? Didn't Nagato tell you that those Rinnegan eyes of his aren't actually his?"

He feigned great surprise and asked Yahiko.

Upon hearing this, Changmen Tongkong shrank back, his expression changed slightly, and he could no longer maintain his composure and calm.

"Fifth Mizukage, please stop your nonsense and produce evidence!"

Konan finally couldn't bear it any longer and stood up, unable to allow Kisame to continue slandering Nagato, and questioned him sharply.

"evidence?"

Kisame chuckled, stood up, and instead of responding to Konan immediately, he looked around at the dark corners and the roof beams, then suddenly shouted, "Obito Uchiha, I know you're watching! Hey, where are you? Get out here right now!"

Kisame didn't believe Obito could sit still at such an important event as the Five Kage Summit. He was sure that Obito had infiltrated Mount Sanrou long ago with Zetsu and was probably eavesdropping from the shadows.

He guessed right.

As soon as Kisame finished speaking, just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a green lantern grass suddenly sprouted from the ground and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Lord Kisame has found us. No wonder he's the man Obito can't forget."

That's absolutely right.

With his ability to burrow underground, he easily infiltrated the heavily guarded venue and had been lying in wait for several days without being discovered.

Just like the Five Shadows Conference in the original story.

After Zetsu appeared, Obito indeed showed up as well, accompanied by a vortex-like spatial fluctuation. He crossed one leg, sat on the roof beam, and looked down at the crowd below with a very surprised expression.

Although Obito had anticipated that many things would happen at this Five Kage Summit, he did not expect it to be so explosive right from the start.

This surprised even him, a mere bystander.

Keep in mind that the Five Shadows Conference hasn't even officially started yet.

227. The Truth About the Rinnegan and the Prophet

Nagato's Rinnegan wasn't actually his own.

After Kisame revealed this shocking information, Konan could no longer tolerate this man's slander against Nagato, so she stood up excitedly and demanded that Kisame provide evidence.

As a result, Kisame's casual shouts actually summoned Obito Uchiha and Zetsu.

The appearance of the two surprised everyone in the hall, especially Kogoro, the general of the Land of Iron. After regaining his senses, he immediately gave orders to Chosuke and Rikka beside him:

"Quickly, arrest these two intruders!"

Whizzing.

With sharp eyes, the two drew their katana and charged toward Zetsu and Obito respectively.

"Don't come any closer!"

Jue saw it leap up and shout exaggeratedly at the corner where it had slashed down with its sword, then instantly shrank back to the ground and disappeared.

"Damn, it runs so fast."

Rikka missed with his slash, cursed, and then turned around to help Chongjie.

Just then, several Wood Release vines suddenly shot out from the ground beneath his feet, instantly binding the unsuspecting Rikkaku tightly.

the other side.

Swish.

Chongjie was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he leaped onto the roof beam, his blade flashing and striking Obito.

As a renowned master of the Land of Iron, his specialty was the Iaijutsu (quick-draw sword technique), capable of instantly killing an enemy in a single exchange. Many ninjas had fallen beneath his blade.

But then, Chongjie's child hole shrank.

He discovered that his sword had passed right through Obito's body, without the sensation of hitting anything solid; it felt like he had struck thin air.

The next second, Obito let out a cold laugh, partially deactivated the intangibility of his arm, grabbed Chosuke by the neck, and slammed him down.

boom!

Chongjie fell rapidly from the roof beam, landing like a cannonball in the center of the conference table, instantly smashing a large hole in the large round table.

"What the hell?!"

Raikage A couldn't sit still any longer. With his volatile temper, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up, ready to attack Obito, this uninvited guest.

Jiraiya and Onoki, standing to the side, frowned, ready to enter the battlefield at any moment.

"stop!"

Just then, Kisame shouted, acting as a peacemaker, "Everyone, calm down. We're going to fight sooner or later anyway, so let's not be in such a hurry. Why don't we let Obito, the one who knows the most, tell us himself where Nagato's Rinnegan came from?"

Did Obito know the truth about the Rinnegan?

Upon hearing this news, Raikage A was stunned for a moment, then glared at Obito and roared at him, "Speak!"

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

Obito shook his head, trying to play dumb.

He was quite certain that only three people knew the secrets of Nagato's Rinnegan: Madara Uchiha, himself, and Nagato.

Madara is already dead and cannot speak; Nagato himself certainly wouldn't say it; and Obito, in order to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, would also conceal the origin of those eyes.

Kisame Hoshigaki had no reason to know.

Therefore, Obito speculated that Kisame at most had some clues and wanted to find an opportunity to trick him into revealing the Rinnegan.

However, Obito was wrong again this time.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll explain it then."

Kisame sighed, deliberately building everyone's anticipation before finally dropping the preamble. The next second, his sharp gaze fixed on the expressionless Nagato across the conference table, he uttered another startling statement:

"Nagato's Rinnegan belongs to—Uchiha, Madara!"

Kisame pronounced the name word by word, like a giant hammer striking everyone's hearts.

Madara Uchiha was a legendary ninja who was on par with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

But hasn't he been dead for decades? Furthermore, it's common knowledge that the Uchiha clan uses the Sharingan, not the Rinnegan. Also, even if Kisame's story is true, how did Madara's eye end up in Nagato's eye socket? And what is Obito's connection to this?

Just as everyone was completely confused, their brows furrowed, and they were filled with doubt about Kisame's words.

"I didn't expect you to know even this secret. As expected of you, Kisame Hoshigaki."

Obito also sighed, slowly expressing his feelings, confirming Kisame's astonishing words.

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, but when Kisame uttered Madara Uchiha's name, he realized that the secret was no longer a secret.

Obito was curious about—

"How much else do you know?"

He stared intently at Kisame and asked, his gaze burning.

"Everything, even more than you know."

Kisame smiled slightly, then looked at everyone in the conference room, "Everyone, it's still early, let me tell you a story."

Amidst the astonished expressions of the crowd, he vividly recounted everything that had happened from the beginning to the present, recounting all that had transpired surrounding the pair of Rinnegan eyes.

From Madara Uchiha's feigned death in the battle at the Valley of the End, to Madara's awakening of the Rinnegan after decades of dormancy underground, and then to Madara's choice of Nagato as the vessel for the Rinnegan, transplanting the eyes to the latter.

Even Jiraiya's discovery of Nagato and his taking him as a disciple was arranged by Madara Uchiha.

Finally, on his deathbed, Madara chose Obito as his successor, hoping that the latter would continue his work—that is, to collect the power of all the tailed beasts and launch the Eye of the Moon Plan, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, using the moon as a medium.

Unfortunately, Obito messed things up and parted ways with Nagato.

Each of these matters is a shocking secret, capable of shaking the entire ninja world for a long time if revealed.

Kisame, however, didn't stop and revealed everything in one go, especially the secret of the Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan and the Eye of the Moon plan to collect the tailed beasts, which shocked everyone present to the extreme.

Kisame's explanation was so detailed that even Obito and Nagato only knew parts of many things, so the two of them, like the others, gradually showed expressions of shock.

Of everyone present, the only one who knew as much as Kisame was Zetsu. To be precise, it was Black Zetsu.

As the mastermind behind all of this, it witnessed everything, knew every detail, and smugly hid in the shadows, controlling the situation, until Kisame suddenly revealed the whole truth.

To Black Zetsu's relief, Kisame didn't mention its existence in his narration, so he probably didn't notice it...?

The moment it had this thought, it noticed that Kisame gave it a meaningful look and gave it a knowing smile.

Black Zetsu was immediately horrified and startled.

Kisame is feeling great right now.

At an event like the Five Kage Summit, in front of Jiraiya, Onoki, and A, expose Nagato and Obito's deepest secrets, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Yes, Kisame hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming here: to imitate Madara Uchiha and fake his own death.

However, before faking his death, he had to eliminate or weaken Nagato, the biggest threat, and Obito, the secondary threat, to ensure that the two could not cause trouble again for a short period of time after his "death".

Therefore, Kisame chose to expose himself, especially to remove the halo of "reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths" and "child of prophecy" from Nagato, so that people would no longer blindly follow Nagato.

As for Black Zetsu...

This person is the most deeply hidden traitor; Nagato, Obito, and Madara are all his puppets. Therefore, Black Zetsu's existence is like a safety net for Kisame, which is why he deliberately didn't mention him.

Quiet, utterly quiet.

In the venue, apart from Kogoro, the general of the Land of Iron who was a samurai and didn't know much about ninjas, everyone else was dumbfounded and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"I never imagined that my encounter with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan was actually arranged by Madara Uchiha. Everything he planned was truly terrifying."

Jiraiya sighed. As the Hokage, he was merely a pawn in Madara Uchiha's game.

Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who were standing beside him, also looked shocked and solemn.

"The Rinnegan evolved from the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan by absorbing the power of the Senju clan. If that's true, then Nagato's eyes..."

Xiao Nan's lips parted slightly, and she spoke softly without making a sound.

She questioned Kisame, demanding evidence, and Kisame satisfied her, leaving her speechless.

In contrast, Tsuchikage Onoki and Raikage A were more concerned with Kisame's "Eye of the Moon" plan, because the key to that plan was to collect the nine tailed beasts.

"Nagato! What did you do to Killer Bee and Yugito?"
