"How could there be someone?" Orochimaru frowned, his eyes filled with displeasure.
The process of researching materials was very addictive, so before researching, Orochimaru would make sure that everything he had on hand was done, so that no one would disturb him.
Unless there was really something urgent, he could only remind him through the bell.
When he opened the door, he saw a few people wearing experimental uniforms walking in.
It was Konan and Haku.
"Huh? A rare guest." Orochimaru was stunned. He stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, revealing a perverted smile.
The partner of the experimental material also came. Could it be that he wanted to use Konan to stimulate Nagato?
Sharingan could produce different fluctuations through the stimulation, and could even evolve.
Rinnegan might also have the potential to continue to improve.
In just that instant, Orochimaru had already thought of thousands of scenarios to torture Konan, which made Nagato collapse.
"Orochimaru, do you mind if I take up a bit of time?" Haku nodded at Orochimaru.
"No problem, but as soon as possible, I can't help it anymore." Orochimaru showed a gentle smile and stood aside.
"Nagato." Konan came to Nagato's side with a face full of worry.
"Konan, why are you here?" Nagato immediately had a surprised look on his face, followed by worry.
He knew that with Konan's ability, she would not be able to enter Seireitei unless she made a deal.
"Don't worry, Nagato. Everything will be over." Konan grabbed Nagato's hand, her eyes glistening with tears.
"What did you say to them? Konan!" Nagato's eyes became sharp.
Konan's eyes dodged. Seeing this, Nagato was even more determined and his face was full of anger. "Don't believe them!"
"But... they said that they would revive Yahiko." However, Konan's words caused Nagato to fall into disbelief.
"Revive Yahiko??" Nagato's eyes shone brightly.
Yahiko was the leader in his heart, and also a very good big brother.
However, Yahiko died in the struggle for power. Chief Amegakure was afraid of Akatsuki, who was rising up day by day, and then killed Yahiko.
From then on, Nagato realized that the peace that Yahiko mentioned could not be realized at all.
Some villages and humans were selfish. Only by making everyone feel pain could they understand the value of peace. Only then would they yearn for peace.
Although this concept was extreme, it was actually the same as Naruto's idea.
"Nagato, let's give up. When Yahiko is revived, the three of us will return to the mountain forest and live the lives of ordinary people." Konan grabbed Nagato's hand and said with tears in her eyes.
"Revive and let everything go back to the past? Can we really go back to the past?" Nagato's eyes dimmed and he smiled miserably.
The three of them had lost their homes in the past and had been wandering all the time, living a life of hunger and hunger. It was because they had experienced war that they longed for peace.
They even tried to use their own power to change the world, but the reality of failure pushed them into the abyss.
Nagato regretted that he did not protect Yahiko well.
This guilt turned into anger and motivation to make this sick world feel real pain.
Even if the dead could be resurrected, they would have to pay a heavy price.
"Kakashi and White Fang are both dead people." At this time, Haku suddenly spoke.
"Even I have died. For Lord Naruto, resurrection is not difficult."
Orochimaru added: "I believe you all know that Seireitei's Shinigami is actually transformed from a soul. In theory, we can find Yahiko's soul from the Pure Land and let him achieve Shinigami's transformation. This way, not only will he retain his memories, but he will also have good strength."
Hearing this, Nagato's eyes were shocked.
"What do I need to pay?" After a long silence, Nagato asked.
"Hand over Rinnegan and join Seireitei," Haku said.
Nagato hesitated.
It was not that his feelings for Yahiko were not deep enough, but he had worked hard for his own ideals for more than ten years. It was very difficult to give up in such a short time.
Seeing Nagato's hesitation, Haku's tone gradually became a bit cold. "You have to think clearly. Right now, we, Seireitei, have provided you with a proposal that everyone will be happy with. Right now, we, Seireitei, are basically invincible to Shinobi world. The few Kage-rank will not change the outcome. Rather than inviting you to join, it is more like Seireitei's kindness."
"What is your philosophy?" Nagato hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Overthrow the rule of all the big countries and Ninja Village, re-write the rules of Shinobi world, and become the maker of the rules. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, we will make Shinobi world feel pain and despair."
At this time, Naruto suddenly walked in from outside the big door, holding a creature that was neither human nor ghost in his hand.
"Huh? What is this?" Orochimaru, the research maniac, suddenly became interested.
"A little guy who often peeks." Naruto casually threw him in front of Orochimaru.
Haku and his green body could barely make out his human form.
"This little thing can imitate who it looks like." Naruto's words aroused Orochimaru's interest. He carefully looked at Zetsu, who was controlled by Reiatsu, and couldn't help but click his tongue. "This little guy is very cunning. He likes to hide on the ground. I couldn't catch him before, but I didn't expect that he was directly restricted by Meta field this time, so he turned over the car. If I'm not wrong, his purpose is Rinnegan, right?" Orochimaru looked at Nagato.
Nagato was confused.
He didn't know anything about it at all.
"Let me read your memories." Naruto looked at Nagato. "For Rinnegan, this shouldn't be a difficult matter."
The sharp Naruto immediately noticed that it was definitely related to Nagato's Rinnegan. He said indifferently.
"Since Obito came to Seireitei, this little guy has been watching everything. He also followed Shinobi world in this battle. He must know a lot of secrets."
Orochimaru untied Nagato. Under everyone's gaze, Nagato did not dare to do anything offensive. He could only come in front of Jue to display Rinnegan.
In his heart, he still had prejudice against Seireitei.
However, as his memories were read, his expression gradually became strange.
He never expected that his Rinnegan would really be transplanted, and all of this was for reviving Uchiha Madara. After resurrecting Uchiha Madara, he would use Uchiha Madara's body as a medium to unseal his mother, Big Tubi Kaguya.
Otsutsuki Kaguya is the mother of the Sage of Six Paths and was sealed by the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother. Since then, Zetsu has been seeking a way to help Kaguya unseal it.
He could transform into anyone, and his stealth ability was almost full.
Normally, Ninja would not be able to find any trace of Jue.
However, Shinigami, who was particularly sensitive to the aura, could detect it.
He had never dared to enter Seireitei, but after Nagato was captured, he could only be forced to enter, hoping to steal Rinnegan away.
To Absolute, Nagato is just a tool.
Regardless of whether it was Yahiko's death, the follow-up events of the Amegakure were also planned by him and Uchiha Madara.
After understanding all of this, Nagato's expression became dull, and the complexity in his heart was clear.
There was sadness, anger, humiliation, and even a trace of regret.
It turned out that such a powerful Kekkei Genkai like Rinnegan had nothing to do with him. He boasted himself as a god, but he did not know that in the eyes of others, he was just a chess piece that had been completely schemed against.
His tragic life had been completely planned out.
For a person, the most painful thing was to discover that in the end, the clown was himself.
He was like an actor who had been completely directed, performing a poor performance on his own stage.
In the end, he would even become a tool for others to revive.
What made the world feel pain?
What understanding pain, fear and pain?
It was simply too inferior.
Nagato sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes empty, and the corners of his mouth curved in a self-deprecating smile.
"Nagato." Konan hugged Nagato lovingly and comforted her softly. "No matter what the truth is, I have always been by your side."
Seeing Nagato's reaction, Naruto grabbed Jue's head with his hand. A strand of memory belonging to Jue poured into his head. For a moment, he released his hand and his eyes were deep in thought.
The truth level was not much different from what he had guessed, whether it was Nagato or Obito, they were all absolute chess pieces.
But what surprised Naruto was the ultimate goal.
Release Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Otsutsuki Kaguya is also a real Six Paths-level powerhouse, and it requires the Six Paths Sage and his brothers to join forces to seal it.
From the looks of it, there were too many mysterious experts in Shinobi world.
Seireitei still needed more development.
Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Nagato. The latter was still immersed in collapse.
Naruto walked in front of Nagato. Seeing the boots of Naruto and Haku, Nagato raised his head blankly.
In his line of sight, the blond hair was so dazzling. Naruto's warm smile was as warm as the sun, and his voice was full of magnetism.
"We have lived in a false world all our lives. Whether it is the so-called Ninja Village, the Great Country, or other worlds, there are hypocrisies and conspiracies. However, your beliefs, your thoughts, and your partners are all real."
"I also understand, and I agree with your ideas. I understand pain, pain, and even fear. Only then can I truly desire peace."
"The hypocritical world needs to be broken, and the concept of peace needs to be implemented. Even if the road ahead is difficult, even if you may get lost, as long as you persevere, you will be able to achieve success."
"We, Seireitei, desire peace more than anyone else, but we have no choice but to pick up the Sword in our hands. We are different from the Ninja Village that fights for power. We fight for peace, we fight for faith!"
Hearing this, Nagato was deeply moved.
He finally understood why Haku had so many people following him.
Because he had a charm.
To be able to convince everyone, to let everyone see hope!
Naruto extended his hand towards Nagato and smiled faintly. "I once heard that if you let go of Sword, you would not be able to protect the person you love. However, if you were to pick up Sword, you would not be able to hold the person you love tightly."
"For the sake of peace, we have all chosen to pick up our swords. Whether it's the ninja world or the spirit world, there are beings at the level of the Six Paths in both. They all pose obstacles to establishing new rules in the ninja world. Are you willing to join the Seireitei and fight for peace? Nagato."
Nagato really wanted to directly blurt out "I am willing", but he held back.
He turned his head, not daring to look at Naruto again, because he was afraid that he would agree to Naruto in the next second.
He saw tears in Konan's eyes, and the way he looked at Naruto was full of confidence.
"To fight for protection and to fight for peace?" Nagato repeated this sentence over and over again, his eyes flashing. After a long time, he raised his head, looked straight into Naruto's eyes, and asked, "Can you resurrect Yahiko?"
"Of course." Naruto smiled and nodded.
"I am willing to join. No, we are willing to join Seireitei together." Nagato and Konan looked at each other and said in unison.
"Welcome to Seireitei!" Naruto revealed a gentle smile.
"Cough cough..." Orochimaru's unwilling voice rang out: "Then are you still going to dig out these eyes?"
