In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Clusters of black iron rods connected his body behind him, like a huge monster sitting behind Nagato, staring at the invader with its mouth open.

"Yahiko...when did he die?" Jiraiya spoke dully, and he didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"During that war, the people of Konoha framed us, Hanzo held me hostage, and Yahiko, in order to save..." Konan paused for a moment, then continued in a calm voice, "voluntarily went to his death."

Hearing this, Jiraiya sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment. Naruto stood by and did nothing the whole time, showing no intention of speaking.

After all, it was in the past. How to deal with Nagato and Konan was Jiraiya's decision. As long as the Akatsuki was gone, anything was fine.

Just when Naruto thought that things would end in such a peaceful atmosphere between master and disciple, the silent Nagato suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Teacher Jiraiya, where were you when Yahiko died?"

The first half of the voice was cold, but in the second half, even Nagato himself didn't notice that it had a hint of tears in it. Jiraiya, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt his breath hitch and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Konan's heart clenched, and she silently averted her eyes. She didn't dare say that she had no resentment towards Jiraiya back then. Yahiko's death had pained her more than anyone else.

She hated everyone she could hate.

But time, like the sands of time, has weakened all obsessions. Yahiko's death can only be blamed on their weakness and naivety at the time. Not everyone in this world wants peace.

"That Hanzo guy, he never wanted peace at all, he just wanted to control the Rain Country." Nagato's voice was trembling, "Yahiko he..."

"Yahiko believed Jiraiya-sensei's peaceful rhetoric, which is why he trusted Hanzo so easily. When Yahiko died, he told Konan and I to survive no matter what."

"He said I was the savior of this world, but what kind of savior am I? This world is dirty and filthy. Now that Yahiko is dead, I am the one who makes the world suffer. What's wrong with that?"

"Why do you have to stop me again and again, teacher?"

Jiraiya was silent for a long time. He turned to look at Konan, then at Nagato, who was sitting on the stone seat, neither human nor ghost. He sighed again and spoke.

"The news I heard is that you all died in that war."

Nagato remained silent. Beside him, Konan's knuckles were white from pinching, and her lips trembled. She turned to stare at Jiraiya, not daring to move, her voice trembling as she suppressed her emotions.

"Teacher Jiraiya... did you go back to look for our bodies?"

"I went there, but couldn't find it." Jiraiya's expression was serious, half of his face hidden in the darkness. "The rain in the Rain Country is too heavy. I'm worried that wild dogs have taken the body away."

Jiraiya had, of course, searched several times, but to no avail. The torrential downpours of the Land of Rain had extinguished the light in his heart. Who could have believed that a legendary ninja, one of the Three Ninjas, would be so obsessed with searching the mountains for stray dogs?

He found a graveyard filled with the bodies of ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village, and the bottom of the pit was filled with poisonous gas. He jumped in and searched, but the bodies were so soaked and rotten that they were unrecognizable.

"It is only natural for a disciple's ninja way to be passed down to his master. I taught Yahiko so well, he will naturally practice his ideals. Even if he knows there are dangers, he will still go."

"How could he back down? If he really backed down, he wouldn't be Yahiko anymore." Jiraiya seemed to be speaking to himself, his voice becoming firmer by the second.

"Nonsense! If it weren't for what Jiraiya said, Yahiko wouldn't have died at all!" Nagato growled.

With a bang, Naruto suddenly appeared beside Nagato. Using the invisible Flying Thunder God to switch positions, he took advantage of Nagato's emotional instability and rushed to his side in one fell swoop.

A relentless punch landed directly on Nagato's face, causing it to cave in. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his nose was crooked.

"Nagato!" Konan said excitedly, but was stopped by Jiraiya just as she was about to take action.

"He is also my disciple. Before he learned that you were still alive, he was my only living disciple." Jiraiya said, as an introduction.

"I didn't want to get involved, but I really can't stand it anymore." Naruto glanced at Jiraiya, then turned to look at Nagato, "I'm in a hurry to go home, how long are you going to make trouble?"

"Even a handsome young man like me knows one thing: this world is complex and complicated, but justice does exist. There are always people who disregard the consequences and continue to sacrifice their lives for the justice they believe in."

"I've told you before, if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too weak. The world is so big, how many people are willing to listen to your reason? Your momentum is too strong, your ideals are too high, so naturally you will be shot down."

Nagato's eyes turned cold, "So what you said is right? We deserve to die. We are clearly not wrong, so why do people always try to stop us?!"

"This shabby world is full of holes. Since Yahiko's path cannot lead to peace, I will overturn it!"

Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, "Turning on your brother-in-law, what should I do if you turn the ninja world upside down?"

With accumulated anger, he yelled back at Nagato.

"What are you trying to do? Try to do it now? If you had the ability, you would have done it long ago. What's the point of planning for so many years? Just stay still!"

"What right do you have to say that! Have you ever felt pain? (Naruto yelled at him at the same time: Go to your pain, you're crazy) Only when I turn the world upside down can there be true peace! (Peace, sister!)"

"The world has been rotten for a long time. If you can talk like that, why don't you do it yourself! (Naruto: I have to be a good person! I can't be a bad person!) You can't be the savior!"

"There's always someone who wants to be the bad guy!" Naruto pointed at Nagato and yelled, "Who wants to be the savior? You can do evil, but I can't? I just want to suppress you and make sure you can't stand up!"

Nagato roared: "Looking for death! (Naruto: Come on! Trash!)"

Chapter 290 So, will the bionic Black Zetsu dream of electronic spots?

Nagato released a black chakra stick. At such a close distance, it was too late to dodge even if he wanted to. Even Jiraiya was worried for Naruto.

He was about to reach out to stop it, but saw Naruto throw the black stick into the sealed space. The flying black stick disappeared silently like a drop of water, and completely cut off Nagato's control over the chakra black stick.

Seeing this, Jiraiya was shocked for a moment. If he was not mistaken, it should be the Four Symbols Seal, but if he looked closely, there were some subtle differences between the Four Symbols Seal and it.

Naruto stared at Nagato, said nothing, and just spat on the ground.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

"Even if you..." Nagato was interrupted by Naruto before he could finish his words.

He said with a cold face, "What peace, what ideals? Without the lecherous immortal, you would have died in the war in Yuyin. Don't talk about suffering. Those civilians who died in the war without being seen had no chance to speak."

"I'm trying to help Yahiko build a peaceful and ideal world! Is there anything wrong with that?" Nagato asked angrily with his head down.

Now all his means had been almost exhausted. Pein's mask was ripped off and he was defeated by Jiraiya. On this high tower, he suddenly found that he couldn't even do anything to a yellow-haired kid.

No matter who comes here, their faith in Taoism will be broken.

The ideal world collapsed, and he was taught a lesson by the iron fist of reality, turning from a powerful god into a madman who was neither human nor ghost.

Jiraiya was feeling a bit complicated. Seeing his two disciples quarreling, he didn't want to get involved for the time being. Konan didn't react at all, and seemed to be planning to wait and see.

"Your ideal world is to continue killing people?" Naruto glanced sideways.

"This is a necessary sacrifice. Only pain can make them give up war and cherish peace." Nagato said.

"I finally understand. You don't have the ability to suppress all enemies like Hashirama Senju did. So you're just trying to be strong when you can't be strong, right?"

"They're picking on the weak. They're indiscriminately destroying the world on a massive scale, letting ordinary people die. They're creating fear, making it so that the remaining survivors can't start a war."

"This is the only solution I can think of!" Nagato raised his head. "As long as we continue along this path, peace will surely come."

Naruto turned to look at Konan and spoke.

"What about you? Do you think so too?"

Xiaonan frowned and said nothing.

"A bunch of psychopaths." Naruto muttered softly as he lowered his head, then raised his voice again, "I say, you can lie to Konan, but don't lie to yourself."

"What did you say?" Nagato asked with a frown.

"Look at yourself, and then look at Konan. Do you know what you have been doing all these years?" Naruto pointed at Nagato and then at Konan.

"You never doubted it at all? Yahiko's death wasn't an accident. What if someone deliberately planned it? And how did you get your eyes? Do you know the true use of the Rinnegan..."

Endless debate is the worst option; the truth is a sharp sword.

He had been holding onto that sharp blade, never letting go, ever since he dealt with Pain, always thinking seven steps ahead. Ultimately, it wasn't justice that pierced the heart, but the naked truth.

Nagato and Konan's breath hitched, and they turned their heads sharply to stare at Naruto.

"What do you mean?"

"say clearly!"

"I'm not completely sure, it's just a guess." Naruto sneered in his heart, but his expression did not change. "Have you never doubted it?"

"Such a pair of powerful eyes appeared on you inexplicably. The Uzumaki clan's bloodline does not have a bloodline limit for eye techniques, but the Rinnegan and Sharingan do have some connection."

"These things can be discovered if you look into them carefully. It's just that you don't want to think about them. Revenge is like a tight chain. If you stop, it will break."

"So, in the final analysis, if you set up an organization to seek revenge, I won't bother to care." Naruto glanced at the dazed Nagato.

"But you absolutely shouldn't have dragged everyone into your pursuit of justice, revenge disguised as peace. It just seems cowardly and incompetent."

[Ding! Option reached, Death's Strike (rule-based reward, Death's Strike, dealing soul damage to the enemy) has been delegated.]

A mechanical synthesized voice rang out in his mind. Naruto lowered his eyes, and finally felt a little more confident. Sure enough, the good stuff is still to come. He was right not to choose Kato-sensei's Spiritualization Technique before.

The art of spiritualization is to use the body and soul to attack and strangle others. Ultimately, there are still some risks. Once someone sees through the weakness, it is easy to be destroyed by humane means.

Aside from being able to connect with one's soul, he couldn't think of any additional benefits. Even if one practiced to the extreme, one couldn't reach the state of an immortal, where one could sit in meditation with one's body while one's soul traveled a hundred miles to visit friends, returning home in high spirits under the moonlit night.

He had known for a long time that his soul was stronger than most. Ordinary illusions and possession techniques were useless against him. He figured only the illusions of Tsukuyomi and the two toad sages could stand up to his soul.

However, an indestructible soul does not mean that one can actively attack others. In fact, like Jiraiya, his weakness lies in his lack of skill in illusion.

In the ninja evaluation system, illusion is also a very important measurement indicator.

Although he hadn't gained any strength in illusion, he had gained the ability to critically attack souls, which was not bad. Based on what happened to Orochimaru, if the soul was damaged, the body would also die.

Death God's sword, can it cut off the soul? Next time, use Black Zetsu to test its power.

After a long time, seeing that the atmosphere was silent and depressing, Naruto couldn't help but add a few more words.

"Actually, how we deal with you all depends entirely on the will of the Lecherous Immortal. I've been eyeing you for a long time, and today, whether to kill you or keep you alive is entirely up to the Lecherous Immortal."

"I don't want to participate in or listen to what happens next. That's it."

Naruto did nothing, letting Nagato investigate and get closer to the truth. Nagato hadn't yet begun to overthrow Konoha, and for the time being, the two of them hadn't reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

At the beginning, his goal was clear: to disband the Akatsuki organization and continue living his leisurely life.

Whether it's Nagato, Obito, or Uchiha Madara, they're just tools in Black Zetsu's toolbox. Even if Naruto kills Nagato and takes the Rinnegan, he'll have to face Obito and Black Zetsu.

When Obito and Black Zetsu realize his strength, they will definitely put aside their differences and unite to target Naruto first. At that time, Naruto will never have a peaceful daily life again.

After killing Obito, there are still Uchiha Madara and Yakushi Kabuto. If Black Zetsu escapes by chance, there will be Uchiha Sasuke or other troubles in the future.

Otsutsuki, aliens, endlessly.

It would be a shame if he didn't take the Samsara Eye. Anyway, when Obito and Black Zetsu realized Nagato's betrayal, they would definitely find a way to kill Obito and take back the eye. But if he took it, Obito and Zetsu would come to harass him.

Since the Rinnegan can't do anything to Naruto, for him at this stage, the Rinnegan is not a hot potato but a hot potato.

Ultimately, the best solution is for Naruto to remove himself from the picture, reveal half the truth, let Nagato investigate, and let them fight among themselves.

When Black Zetsu notices something unusual, he will definitely not sit idly by. After all, Black Zetsu has three requirements to save his mother, which are:

1. Find the container of Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and possess the Rinnegan at the same time.

2. The container activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi and recovers the chakra of young Kaguya.

3. Black Zetsu is used as the key to unlock the seal.

Essentially, Black Zetsu is like Kaguya's wedge. The Otsutsuki clan all have a method of reincarnation, which is to digitize themselves and then inject the wedge into a new container to be resurrected.

Orochimaru's corpse transformation is the localization of the wedge.

The reason why Orochimaru can do this is probably because the ninja's own chakra attributes come from the power of Otsutsuki, which to some extent can be seen as... a kind of pollution.

Or to look at it from another angle, the difference between a ninja and an ordinary person is their chakra and ninjutsu. This power comes from the Otsutsuki clan's sacred tree, which is pollution.

After being polluted, humans possess extraordinary powers, and this group is no longer the same as ordinary humans. They call themselves ninjas.

The ninja's blood was mixed with Otsutsuki's impurities, and while gaining strength, it also gained a characteristic, datafication.

Datafication provides a fundamental theoretical basis for Orochimaru's immortality. If the consciousness cannot be taken away from the body after reincarnation, then there is no immortality.

Ordinary people naturally cannot reincarnate because they lack the ability to digitize their consciousness. Only ninjas, who have the blood of the Otsutsuki mixed in their bodies, can do this.

Therefore, after a ninja is resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, their consciousness is retained at the time of their death. The principle is probably similar to the fact that data no longer updates, but is frozen in that era.

If the biological black technology in the ninja world is advanced enough in the future, after capturing a living Otsutsuki and obtaining the Otsutsuki's technology, there may be electronic ninjas.

So, Bionic Black would never dream of electronic spots?

Similarly, bloodlines are like surging data, and as they are passed down, they will undergo a certain degree of mutation. Just like genetic mutations, data will also have similar problems.

Thus, bloodline limits began to appear.

The purer the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, the stronger the power of the Kekkei Genkai. Like the descendants of the Six Paths Sage, Hashirama and the Uchiha clan.

Correspondingly, the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra's chakra is also a manifestation of the wedge. The so-called child of prophecy is nothing more than the Six Paths Sage seeing his two sons killing each other and fearing that the same thing would happen to their future generations.

So he gave the reincarnated Ashura more power and used the reincarnated Ashura to suppress the reincarnated Indra, which later became the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, Kaguya's resurrection process is not a resurrection. In essence, it is the same as Orochimaru's transformation into a corpse, just an act of possession.

Black Zetsu is Kaguya's wedge, and the container is Uchiha Madara. Activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi to recover the chakra of the young woman Kaguya is the process of traction reincarnation.
