The Uchiha Clan's Sun

"We Uchiha possess a dojutsu called 'Izanagi,' which can alter situations unfavorable to us!"

"Madara Uchiha used this technique to fake his death and escape!"

Chapter 32 Inheritance!

After a pause, Uchiha Jin continued, "However, when Uchiha Madara fused with the power of Senju Hashirama and awakened the Rinnegan, he was already old!"

"He is no longer able to complete the peace plan that was recorded on the inheritance stone tablet, which required the Rinnegan to achieve!"

"So, while implanting the Rinnegan into Nagato's body, he began searching for a successor!"

"The masked man you saw is the unlucky guy chosen by Madara Uchiha!"

"Unlucky guy?" Yahiko asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? Isn't it a good thing to inherit Madara Uchiha's mantle?"

In Yahiko's view, one's will is one's own, and accepting Madara Uchiha's training does not necessarily mean inheriting Madara Uchiha's will.

Enhancing one's own strength allows one to better realize one's will, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Uchiha Jin shook his head and said, "Uchiha Madara's method of choosing a successor is a little different from what you think! In order to make that masked man inherit his will, Uchiha Madara planned for a long time!"

After a pause, Uchiha Jin looked at Yahiko and said, "It's about making you die once first, and then letting you witness Konan die at Nagato's hands!"

Yahiko shuddered and immediately understood what Uchiha Jin was trying to say.

This is really something...

Yahiko couldn't describe the feeling; he simply couldn't accept this reality!

Uchiha Jin continued, "In short, Madara Uchiha was less cultivating a successor and more cultivating a pawn!"

"There are no human rights for those who succeed Uchiha Madara!"

Yahiko nodded blankly. He no longer envied Obito Uchiha for being able to receive Madara Uchiha's tutelage.

Obito Uchiha was truly an unlucky guy!

After a long silence, Nagato spoke again: "Brother Jin, I want to know what Madara Uchiha's plan is!"

As a pawn, Nagato also wanted to know what exactly was the goal that forced him to 'fight for'.

Having come this far, Uchiha Jin naturally wouldn't hide anything and explained, "The Eye of the Moon Plan is a plan to use a technique called 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to trap everyone in the world in an illusion!"

"Because everyone's illusion is different, everyone can become a winner who possesses love in their illusion!"

Nagato: "......"

Yahiko: "..."

Xiaonan: “…”

Some things are just really speechless!

This so-called "Eye of the Moon" project can probably only convince a three-year-old!

Yahiko finally tried asking, "What would people do in reality?"

Uchiha Jin said, "They will be hung from a tree and then transformed into a humanoid weapon called White Zetsu in a beautiful illusion, losing their own will!"

The three of them fell silent.

Perhaps they shouldn't have asked that question.

How could such a frivolous plan possibly have any merits?

Ignoring the expressions on the three men's faces, Uchiha Jin continued, "No matter what you think, that masked man will not abandon you!"

Nagato shook his head and said firmly, "I will never agree with his idea no matter what!"

“Your approval is not needed at all!” Uchiha Jin explained, “According to Uchiha Madara’s idea, Nagato, you are just a vessel, a tool. All that’s needed is to revive him with the power of the Rinnegan at the right time!”

"He must have left many contingency plans inside you; your will is completely irrelevant!"

Nagato was taken aback, then revealed an indignant expression!

He never imagined that he was only this level in Madara Uchiha's eyes!

Yahiko exclaimed in surprise, "Won't Nagato be in great danger? Brother Jin, can you help Nagato?"

“Now is not the time!” Uchiha Jin shook his head and said solemnly, “Besides, Uchiha Madara is already dead, and the contingency plans he left behind may never come into play!”

"What you should be worried about now is that masked man!"

Yahiko was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Uchiha Jin explained, "That masked man has gone mad! According to Uchiha Madara's plan, he shouldn't have met with you like this, but he just wants to lead Nagato into the same darkness as him!"

"Yahiko, you and Konan could both be tools he uses to guide Nagato!"

Nagato frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Brother Jin, are you saying that the masked man will target Yahiko and Konan?"

Uchiha Jin nodded and said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out! Moreover, his ability is very special, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and you may not be able to defend against him!"

After a pause, Uchiha Jin added, "More importantly, for some reasons, I will not take action against him now and cannot help you eliminate this hidden danger!"

"Therefore, you still need to be careful and take precautions for a while, and try not to act alone!"

"He only wanted to lead Nagato into darkness, not to gain Nagato's hatred!"

"So as long as you two stay together, it will be very difficult for him to find an opportunity to strike!"

Obito Uchiha's Kamui was incredibly effective at escaping, and even King Uchiha would need to make some preparations to capture him!

Therefore, at this time, Uchiha Jin does not want to have a direct conflict with him!

Yahiko nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jin, we'll be careful!"

Uchiha Jin smiled and reassured them, "Of course, you don't need to worry too much. I will leave you a backup plan before I leave the Land of Rain!"

"Backhand?"

Yahiko and the other two were all taken aback and very puzzled.

"You'll find out when the time comes!" Uchiha Jin kept everyone in suspense, then added, "We've covered most of the details. Are you heading back tonight or staying here overnight?"

Yahiko didn't ask any further questions. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although I'd like to talk to you more, Brother Jin, the Akatsuki organization can't function without our personnel right now, so we have to head back for today!"

"There will be other opportunities later!" Uchiha Jin didn't try to stop you, saying, "I'll send someone to inform you when Shimura Danzo comes knocking. Be careful yourselves!"

"understand!"

Yahiko and the other two nodded, understanding the seriousness of the matter.

"Oh, by the way, consider this a little gift from me to you. You can take a look when you have time!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Uchiha Jin reached into his waist pouch and took out three palm-sized red books, handing them to the three of them.

The book's cover was entirely red, without a single word, except for a unique pattern consisting of a hammer and sickle!

Yahiko asked in confusion, "Brother Jin, what is this?"

Uchiha Jin smiled and explained, "These are some ideas I've compiled based on my understanding of this world and the philosophy of a senior. You can take a look at them when you have time!"

Chapter 33 My Own Path!

That night, at the Akatsuki camp.

After several hours of travel, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan finally returned to the Akatsuki camp from Amegakure late at night.

After greeting the members on duty at the Akatsuki camp and confirming that nothing unexpected had happened, Yahiko and the other two went to Yahiko's room.

Today's conversation with Uchiha Jin provided them with too much information, making it impossible for them to sleep peacefully.

Light the oil lamp; the orange flame cast a glow that dispelled the gloom in the room.

Yahiko and Nagato sat down at the table. Konan brought out some dry food and water and distributed them to the two of them before sitting down at the table herself.

Yahiko spoke first, looking at the other two and asking, "Nagato, Konan, what do you think of... Brother Jin?"

Although Yahiko had a good feeling about Uchiha Jin, they had only just met, and there were some things he couldn't say in front of Uchiha Jin.

However, he didn't have so many reservations in front of Nagato and Konan.

The three of them grew up together, relying on and supporting each other. They were closer than family, sharing a common destiny.

There was nothing the three of them couldn't talk about.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment before replying, "He probably doesn't mean us any harm, but what he said is too shocking, and its veracity remains to be verified!"

Konan didn't doubt that Uchiha Jin was lying to them; it's just that some things were too far-fetched to be believable, even if they were true.

They need time to accept reality!

“Brother Jin has no reason to lie to us,” Nagato paused, raised his hand and pressed it against his eye socket, and said, “Especially about the Rinnegan. In fact, I have been able to vaguely feel the rejection of these eyes towards me for a long time!”

"I can't unleash the true power of these eyes at all!"

"These eyes...aren't mine!"

My family knows their own affairs.

Nagato possessed a vast amount of chakra, extraordinary regenerative abilities, and enduring stamina... Logically speaking, he should have been an incredibly strong ninja!

But Nagato's body is now tall and thin, which is very abnormal!

It's like getting full marks in every subject, but failing the overall score!

These Rinnegan eyes are absorbing nutrients from his body and devouring his life force!

Nagato used to think that the power of the Rinnegan was too strong, and that he himself was too weak.

The key point is that Nagato never used the powerful Rinnegan from beginning to end!

Now, thanks to Uchiha Jin's reminder, Nagato finally realized that he was just a vessel!

How can a container utilize the power of what it holds?

Nagato smiled bitterly and said, "I can hardly face my own existence anymore. I've been treated as a pawn since I was a child, and for such a ridiculous reason!"

Yahiko's expression was solemn as he comforted Nagato, "Nagato, don't overthink it! No matter what others have done to you, at least you've always acted according to your own will!"

"You are you! You are Nagato!"

“Perhaps,” Nagato nodded, saying firmly, “Regardless of what happened before, I have now found my own path and will no longer be manipulated by others!”

Yahiko frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, "Nagato, don't be so quick to make up your mind! Decisions made on impulse do not represent your true will! Especially in this kind of matter!"

Nagato's expression didn't change at all because of Yahiko's words. He said calmly, "Don't talk big, Yahiko. You yourself clearly agree with what King said!"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko's expression froze, and the seriousness he had painstakingly cultivated instantly crumbled. He scratched his head and said, "Is it that obvious?"

Nagato rolled his eyes at Yahiko but didn't say anything.

Given the relationship between the three of them, it's easy to tell who has ulterior motives at a glance.

Yahiko could only admit, "Okay, I admit it. Brother Jin's idea really appeals to me. After all, I can't think of a better idea than Brother Jin right now, but..."

Nagato pressed further, "But what?"

Yahiko shook his head and said, "Brother Jin's ideas are a bit... extreme, which makes me a little scared!"

Nagato was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why would you say that?"

Yahiko explained with a wry smile, "Jiraiya-sensei once told me about some things about Konoha Village during a casual conversation, including information related to the Uchiha clan."

"Jiraiya-sensei said that the Uchiha clan members are very proud and prone to extremes!"

"I didn't take it much seriously before, but after meeting Brother Jin today, I have a deep understanding of it!"

"First of all, there's Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan, which was practically no different from destroying the world!"

"In a sense, Brother Jin's ideas are actually even more insane than Madara Uchiha's!"

"One of them wants to destroy the old world, and the other wants to destroy the old order; they are basically enemies of the whole world!"

"This worries me a little..."

Yahiko didn't finish his sentence.

It would be impolite to say that he was worried about Uchiha Jin's mental health.

Nagato shook his head upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Yahiko, your worries are completely unnecessary!"

"It's undeniable that Brother Jhin's ideas are somewhat extreme, even insane, but that doesn't mean they're wrong!"
