"Uchiha Kawasaki?"
The name was repeated at the long gate.
This leader of the Uchiha branch family was also renowned; Konan had previously tried to recruit him.
Konan took out the two scrolls that Kawasaki had given her.
"Nagato, Kawasaki has entrusted these to us."
"This technique is called Impure World Reincarnation. It can summon the soul of a deceased ninja back to the present world and regenerate it in physical form."
Nagato was startled and hurriedly pulled his hand out of the wooden cart.
He picked up the scroll and examined it closely.
"what do you mean?"
Nagato's voice trembled slightly.
Konan nodded in confirmation: "As long as we prepare the offerings, we can summon Yahiko back."
But after reading the scroll, Nagato felt somewhat disappointed.
"Can I only be resurrected temporarily?"
Konan explained, "Kawasaki said that if Kyusuke and Daibutsu could be resurrected, it would confirm whether it was truly the masked man and Zetsu who did it."
Nagato nodded, having already informed Konan of this technique.
The two who made the move were most likely those two.
"It really is them!"
Xiao Nan asked in surprise, "Did you suspect them all along?"
Nagato said, "Their origins are unknown, and I do not fully trust them. Although I have doubts, I have no concrete evidence."
A flash of hatred crossed Nagato's eyes.
“Why would they do that?”
Konan relayed Kawasaki's words to Nagato.
Nagato gradually calmed down, but his Rinnegan seemed to be churning with undercurrents: "Is he guiding me into darkness?"
Nagato sighed deeply: "No! I have transcended the mortal realm amidst endless suffering and become a god!"
"Darkness cannot engulf me; I will surely bring true peace to this world!"
Nagato's tone was resolute; his conviction was unshakeable!
"Ridiculous! Trying to use a god! Cough cough..."
Nagato suddenly coughed.
Xiao Nan stepped forward with concern: "Calm down first, don't let your body take a hit."
"call..."
Nagato took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.
His body remained extremely weak due to the daily draining of energy by the demonic statues of the Outer Path and the need to manipulate the power of the Six Paths.
Excessive emotional fluctuations caused him considerable harm.
"Whatever their schemes may be, they will all be shattered by my Rinnegan!"
Konan looked at Nagato, her heart filled with mixed feelings. She couldn't predict the final outcome of such a desperate gamble.
Nagato asked in a deep voice, "What else did Uchiha Kawasaki say?"
Konan unfolds another scroll: "This is Madara's true identity, and the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan."
Nagato took it and read: "Uchiha Obito, Hollowfication, Kamui Dimension, lasting for several minutes... Izanagi!"
"How could it be so detailed?!"
Nagato was utterly shocked, both by the supposed true identity and abilities of Madara, and by how Kawasaki had obtained such detailed information.
It is important to know that the most valuable asset of a ninja is their own intelligence, and protecting intelligence is a compulsory course for every ninja.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
Kawasaki's information revealed almost everything about Obito's abilities, as if it were information leaked by one of his own.
Over the years, Obito has acted mysteriously and never abused his power, which has always instilled a sense of awe in Nagato, who only knows that Obito has the ability to Hollow out.
However, he had no idea how long the blurring could last or what the underlying principle was.
Their relationship was more like a collaboration than a genuine trust.
Over the years, Obito even used his Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, in order to raise funds for Akatsuki.
He stayed in Wuyin for many years, providing the organization with a continuous stream of supplies and funds.
It even improved the lives of the people in the Land of Rain.
I never imagined Obito and Zetsu had been hiding their true intentions so well. Kyusuke, Oobutsu, and their crewmates...
Nagato considered himself a god and used Obito, but little did he know that Obito was also using him.
"I was equally shocked when I saw it, but I think the information must be true."
Konan understood why Nagato was so surprised.
"Kawasaki said that even if we take action, we can't kill Obito. He told you to go see him in person later, and he will reveal more information."
"Nagato, what do you plan to do?"
Nagato lowered the scroll.
His face, thin as a skeleton, revealed no expression.
"His space-time ninjutsu is too strange, and it actually has a certain advantage over me. Before I fully master the Rinnegan, we should not turn against them."
"We still need to continue to utilize these two individuals to raise manpower and funds for the organization."
"I need to keep my whereabouts hidden until everything is ready."
The wall was pulled open, and the Heavenly Path stepped in: "Let's revive Kyusuke and Daibutsu first. As for Yahiko, we'll discuss that later."
Konan knew that Nagato still didn't know how to face Yahiko.
After all, their current actions run counter to Yahiko's original ideals.
...
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Xiao Nan's life trajectory.]
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained: God's Papercraft Technique x1"
At this moment, Kawasaki, who was in Sunagakure, was still discussing matters with the Kazekage, Rasa, in the conference room.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my ear.
It seems that Konan's fate has been rewritten. Konan should no longer die at Obito's hands. But what about Nagato?
Nagato's ideology seems to have become almost divine, making him difficult to sway.
However, they will likely turn against Obito beforehand.
I wonder what Nagato will accomplish.
Given Nagato's personality, he would wait until he had mastered the Rinnegan before taking action.
Just like how he only sought revenge against Hanzo after he had fully mastered the Rinnegan.
...
Inside the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.
What were the findings of the survey?
A lazy voice rang out.
The staff below, however, dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest.
"Reporting to my lord, the 'Chinese cuisine' shops that came from the Land of Rice Fields originated in the Village of Sound, and were opened by the Uchiha clan."
"That Uchiha from Konoha?"
Although the daimyo wasn't particularly knowledgeable about ninja affairs, he had at least heard of the Uchiha daimyo.
"Yes, sir, there are also Uchiha clan members running this shop in Konoha Village."
"Are the Uchiha clans of the Land of Rice Fields a branch of the Uchiha clan?"
"Splitting? Is it betraying the village?"
His curiosity was piqued.
The aide wiped his sweat and presented two reports.
"My lord, the Third Hokage said that he left on his own, while Danzo believes that the Uchiha have defected."
The daimyo accepted the two documents handed to him, one of which was a record of the Third Hokage's public statements.
The other document was a letter specially submitted by Danzo.
Staring at the dense text in front of him, Daming frowned, his curiosity vanishing in an instant.
He impatiently tossed the two documents aside.
The Uchiha clan split up, some members defected—none of these things mattered to him.
The Uchiha clan is under the jurisdiction of Konoha Village, and Konoha Village is nominally a partner with them.
He, as the daimyo, has no right to interfere in matters concerning the Uchiha clan.
It's astonishing that the Third Hokage would make such a mistake.
snort!
Da Ming snorted dismissively.
"forget it."
"So, this entire catering service was arranged by the Uchiha clan?"
