After school, Naruto said goodbye to Hinata and went home.
He was eager to find Nagato and bring him into his faction.
Naruto himself had a bit of a collecting habit; since he planned to bring the Akatsuki Organization into his faction, the sooner the better.
After returning to his room, Naruto put on his virtual helmet, intending to go to the virtual world to have a heart-to-heart with Nagato and Konan!
In the virtual world.
Nagato sat alone by a small stream, lost in thought, with Konan behind him, looking worried.
"Konan, what do you think I should do?"
Hearing Nagato's question, Konan was a little speechless.
Konan really wanted to say, let's just stop and find a place to live in seclusion!
But, she couldn't say that; to say that would be to negate the efforts of Nagato and the deceased Yahiko.
"I don't trust Uchiha Obito."
In the end, Konan could only change the subject.
"Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, Zetsu—none of them are trustworthy, I know that!"
"But I'm very confused now, confused about what I should do next."
"I've thought about destroying these eyes of mine. That way, perhaps no further disasters will occur!"
That's right, after hearing Obito's spoilers, the first thing Nagato thought of was destroying the Rinnegan.
As long as there was no Rinnegan, then no one would be able to control the Gedo Statue, and the Ten-Tails would not be revived.
Whatever Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito's goals were, if the Rinnegan and the Gedo Statue were gone, all their efforts would be in vain.
But Nagato was still a little unwilling.
To create peace, power is essential, and Nagato's current power all relies on these Rinnegan. Without his eyes, he would be useless.
Konan was silent for a moment before saying, "Or, let's ask Master Jiraiya!"
"Master Jiraiya, huh?"
Mentioning Jiraiya, Nagato thought of that not-so-large wooden house and the set of three small green frogs.
The time he spent living with Jiraiya was indeed Nagato's happiest time.
Thinking about it carefully, his entire life seemed to have been pre-arranged by others; it seemed only Jiraiya was the unexpected exception outside of those arrangements.
Just then.
Two figures suddenly appeared behind Nagato and Konan; it was Naruto and Jiraiya.
Naruto had first found Jiraiya and then told him about Obito's random spoilers.
Jiraiya knew that whether Obito's spoilers were true or false, Nagato would definitely be in a state of confusion right now!
This state could sometimes be very dangerous! It could even make his chuunibyou worse.
That's right, according to Jiraiya's analysis, Nagato suffered from severe chuunibyou.
To prevent his disciple from going astray, Jiraiya unhesitatingly followed Naruto to find Nagato.
"Nagato, Konan."
Hearing the familiar voice, Nagato and Konan both turned around.
At this time, Jiraiya was no longer in his young and handsome appearance, but looked exactly like his real-world self.
The reason for changing back his appearance was none other than to make his two disciples feel a sense of belonging when they saw him.
And it was just as Jiraiya thought; seeing the familiar Jiraiya, both Nagato and Konan were choked up.
Now, perhaps only Jiraiya could truly be their safe harbor!
Jiraiya stepped forward and hugged Nagato, saying, "Nagato, your desire for peace is right! But, neither you nor I have ever seen true peace!"
"To bring peace to the Ninja World, just changing the Ninja community isn't enough!"
"Master, I know you want to pull me into the revolution, but…"
Speaking to this point, Nagato paused for a moment before continuing, "But I've already decided to destroy the Rinnegan!"
"Without the Rinnegan, I'm just a cripple…"
Before Nagato could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by Naruto, who had been watching the show.
"Destroying the Rinnegan is good! Destroying the Rinnegan doesn't mean you're useless. I can help you heal! If I can't heal you, I can get you a new body!"
Destroying the Rinnegan was indeed a good idea. Without the Rinnegan, it felt like the entire naruto would end.
After all, naruto also had another name: [Legend of the Eyes].
And naruto also really wanted to know what expressions Black Zetsu and Obito would make if the Rinnegan were gone?
Seeing that Naruto actually supported Nagato destroying his eyes, Jiraiya frowned slightly.
"Is it really okay to just destroy the Rinnegan?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto knew that he still wanted to find the Child of Prophecy.
In Jiraiya's heart, there were only two candidates for the Child of Prophecy: one was Minato Namikaze, and the other was Nagato.
Although Jiraiya had already confirmed that the red ideology could indeed change the Ninja World, as the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
He wanted to start a revolution, and he also wanted to find the Child of Prophecy, especially since he had already found two at once.
Seeing Jiraiya's hesitation, Naruto decided to spoil things again.
"Do you know what the true meaning of the Rinnegan is?"
Hearing Naruto's question, the three present thought long and hard.
Finally, Nagato said, "Isn't it for summoning the Gedo Statue?"
"The Gedo Statue can absorb all nine Tailed Beasts, and then the Ten-Tails will officially revive!"
Naruto nodded and said, "That's true, but… after the Ten-Tails revives, there's a subsequent plan, and that subsequent plan truly concerns the survival of the entire Ninja World!"
Hearing Naruto say this, Jiraiya and the other two knew that he was about to start explaining secrets again!
Naruto didn't keep them in suspense and immediately began to tell the story of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"Once, there was an extraterrestrial visitor named Kaguya Otsutsuki."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki came to the Ninja World and planted a Divine Tree, and this Divine Tree was the origin of Chakra."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki ate the fruit of the Divine Tree and used its power to quell the chaotic era over two thousand years ago."
"At that time, Kaguya Otsutsuki was respectfully called the [Rabbit Goddess] by the people, and under the blessings and prayers of the populace, she gave birth to two children. Her eldest son was the progenitor of the Ninja World, the Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and her second son was Hamura Ōtsutsuki."
"To resist other members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan from coming to the Ninja World, Kaguya Otsutsuki activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create White Zetsu."
"Later, her two sons discovered that the White Zetsu were actually made from humans, and they immediately intervened to stop her."
"Ultimately, Kaguya Otsutsuki was successfully sealed by her two filial sons."
"And that seal is the moon in the sky!"
"But before Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, she used her will to create a special entity, [Black Zetsu], and commanded Black Zetsu to undo her seal."
"And so, that filial son named Black Zetsu began to stir up trouble in the Ninja World! Most of the various wars and conflicts in the Ninja World were his doing!"
"For Black Zetsu to truly undo Kaguya Otsutsuki's seal, the Ten-Tails needed to be revived, and someone needed to successfully become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, ultimately activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi. That way, Kaguya Otsutsuki could be revived!"
"Whether it was Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, or Nagato, they were all just pawns used by Black Zetsu to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki!"
