Uchiha Yuzuru simply explained what the Rinnegan was to the Third Raikage, who grew happier the more he listened.
No matter what, Hidden Cloud Village would soon have another powerful Ninja.
The eyes of the Six Paths Sage, just how powerful must they be?!
Thinking of this, the Third Raikage said in a deep voice to Nagato and Konan, "From now on, you two are Ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village. You will obey Uchiha Yuzuru, and if there's anything, you can also report to me."
The Third Raikage didn't hesitate too much and directly assigned Nagato and Konan to Uchiha Yuzuru's command.
Although with the passage of time, most of Hidden Cloud Village's power was already in Uchiha Yuzuru's hands, the Third Raikage didn't have many ulterior motives.
After all, he understood Uchiha Yuzuru very well and knew that his ambition far exceeded just Hidden Cloud Village, so he had long been prepared to obey Uchiha Yuzuru in the future.

Leaving the Raikage Building, Konan looked at Uchiha Yuzuru and asked curiously, "Lord Yuzuru, you seem to know a lot about the Rinnegan?"
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded: "That's right. You two follow me to the training ground. I will teach Nagato how to use the power of the Rinnegan."
Upon hearing this, Konan and Nagato both gasped in shock.
Konan said in disbelief, "Lord Yuzuru, you know how to use the power of the Rinnegan?"
This was completely different from recognizing the Rinnegan or knowing its origin. Even Nagato himself had never known how to use the power of the Rinnegan.
How did Uchiha Yuzuru know?
Feeling their gazes, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly said, "First, follow me."
The three quickly arrived at a training ground within the Uchiha Clan Estate. This was Uchiha Yuzuru's private training ground, and no one was allowed near it without his permission.
Uchiha Yuzuru sat directly on the ground and said to Nagato and Konan, "You two sit too."
Nagato and Konan sat opposite Uchiha Yuzuru, and Nagato eagerly asked, "Lord Yuzuru, how do you know so much about these things?"
"Just call me Yuzuru." Uchiha Yuzuru finished, then looked at Nagato and slowly said, "Because these Rinnegan do not belong to you at all."
"What?!"
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's explanation, Nagato and Konan almost couldn't help but stand up from the ground.
Konan retorted, "Nagato has had these eyes since he can remember. I can testify to that!"
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head: "This is the truth I want to tell you. Please listen quietly until I finish."
Upon hearing this, Konan and Nagato, though breathing rapidly, forced themselves to calm down.
In their eyes, Uchiha Yuzuru was now synonymous with power and mystery.
Every word he spoke constantly touched their nerves.
Seeing the two calm down, Uchiha Yuzuru organized his words and then slowly began.
"When I was in the Land of Grass, I met Uchiha Madara."
Uchiha Yuzuru's first sentence made Nagato and Konan's pupils contract.
Uchiha Madara?
Isn't that a legendary figure?
Wasn't he killed by Senju Hashirama long ago?
Noticing their confusion, Uchiha Yuzuru explained, "Uchiha Madara didn't die. Instead, he has been relying on the Gedo Statue to survive until this era."
"During his battle with Senju Hashirama, he unexpectedly gained the power of all creation and, in his later years, evolved his Mangekyo Sharingan into the Rinnegan."
"However, Uchiha Madara was too old by then and knew that it would be difficult to implement his plan with his own body. So, after summoning the Gedo Statue, he transplanted the Rinnegan onto Nagato."
After Uchiha Yuzuru's narration, Nagato murmured in a daze, "No wonder I always felt these eyes were difficult to control. So, these eyes don't belong to me after all?"
If the Rinnegan evolved from the Mangekyo Sharingan, then as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, it would indeed be impossible for him to possess such eyes.
Konan, on the other hand, asked curiously, "Yuzuru, how do you know all these things?"
"Uchiha Madara wanted to cultivate me as the successor to implement his plan, so he told me everything."
"At the time, I feigned agreement to deceive Uchiha Madara, so I inherited all of Uchiha Madara's legacy."
"And as the incubator for the Rinnegan, Nagato, you are also part of that legacy."
Legacy?!
Nagato's pupils suddenly constricted, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
After meeting his teacher, Jiraiya, he had always felt that he was the Child of Prophecy who could bring change to the Ninja World, and these Immortal eyes were the best proof.
But now he knew that he was merely an incubator for Uchiha Madara's eyes.
Yes, how could someone with his personality become the legendary Child of Prophecy... Konan saw Nagato's somewhat dejected appearance and took the initiative to comfort him: "Nagato, Yuzuru chose to tell us the whole truth, which means he doesn't see you as a pawn. You don't have to bear such great pressure anymore."
Hearing Konan's words, Nagato smiled bitterly and nodded: "Konan, you're right. From now on, I just need to be myself."
Possessing the legendary Immortal eyes and being recognized by Jiraiya as the Child of Prophecy who could bring peace to the Ninja World... Nagato had always carried immense pressure.
Now, after learning the truth, although there was some disappointment, there was also a strange sense of relief.
Uchiha Yuzuru was very satisfied with Nagato's attitude.
He deliberately told Nagato part of the truth to dispel the arrogance in Nagato's heart.
The powerful force of the Rinnegan can make people lose their minds. In the original story, Nagato became self-righteous after gaining control of the Rinnegan's power.
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he had to make Nagato realize that he was not the so-called savior.
It was also a preemptive measure.
Konan saw Nagato recover and then looked at Uchiha Yuzuru curiously again: "Yuzuru, what was Uchiha Madara's plan you just mentioned?"
"What is the Gedo Statue?"
"Also, how did Uchiha Madara obtain the power of all creation..."
"Oh, and if Uchiha Madara didn't die back then, how did he deceive Senju Hashirama?"
Seeing Konan constantly asking questions like a curious child, Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand: "These matters involve too many things. I will tell you when the time is right."
"Alright, let's not talk about these digressions." Uchiha Yuzuru actively changed the subject, "Next, I will first explain the various abilities of the Rinnegan to you."
