Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 266 Master, what brings you here?

Nagato remained silent, while Konan instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"Naruto, could it be that Nagato's Rinnegan wasn't something he was born with?" A bad feeling crept into her mind.

Naruto looked at the two of them and said, "Gentlemen, let me ask you a question first: How did the Sage of Six Paths obtain the Rinnegan?"

Nagato and Konan exchanged glances, the former saying in a deep voice, "The Sage of Six Paths was born with the Rinnegan; he was the creator of ninjas..."

“No,” Naruto interrupted, shaking his head, “the Sage of Six Paths’ eyes were ordinary at first.”

"When he wept bitterly over the death of his lover, he awakened the Sharingan, which evolved into the Rinnegan after his younger brother was killed once."

"In other words, his Rinnegan was not innate, but evolved later."

This groundbreaking conclusion stunned the two men on the spot, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Even if they agree that Naruto Uzumaki is an intelligence expert, it's still hard for them to believe this shocking fact.

"Naruto..." Konan said in a trembling voice, "Although I know that the information concerns your life, I still want to ask, where did this information come from?"

Naruto nodded and said in a deep voice, "These are all the Nine-Tails inside me. Kurama told me about them. By the way, all the tailed beasts back then accepted the Sage of Six Paths' orders and are lurking in various parts of the ninja world."

The Nine-Tailed Fox inside: "?"

It was already used to Naruto's nonsense, but when it heard Naruto calmly push all the blame onto it, it was still a little furious.

"Naruto, why should I bear your secret?!" Kurama roared.

It was clear that Naruto had never actively collected any intelligence, but he knew all sorts of secrets about the ninja world.

Like an omniscient god of the ninja world.

This is also why the Nine-Tailed Fox has become increasingly obedient lately; it can no longer figure out this man at all.

Naruto, naturally ignoring Kurama's complaints, continued to speak to the two of them:

"In short, no one can be born with the Rinnegan awakened, and I know very well who the true owner of your Rinnegan is."

Nagato fell silent, seemingly processing this unacceptable fact.

Therefore, is one's own ideology incomplete, and consequently, the responsibilities one shoulders are imposed upon them by others?
Then what in one's life is real anymore?

After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Tell me, Naruto, I deserve to know the truth."

Naruto grunted in agreement and solemnly said, "The Nine-Tails within me has glimpsed the truth behind your Rinnegan. These eyes once wielded it and manipulated it to fight against Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi..."

"Uchiha Madara! He is the true master of the Rinnegan!"

To convince the two, Naruto fabricated the source of the information and made his tone sound unusually certain.

The effect is remarkable.

Nagato was unable to accept it on the spot, and his body reacted immediately. He then painfully covered his eyes!
Immediately, Chibaku Tensei began to falter, peeling away layer by layer. Sasuke and Suigetsu, who had used Susanoo to protect their side, were able to escape.

"Haha..." Nagato's chest heaved violently, the thin layer of human skin outlining his deep ribs, which made Naruto's heart skip a beat.

He couldn't help but approach Nagato, but Konan instinctively stopped him, and then saw Naruto gently shake his head.

Do not know why,

Xiao Nan slowly retreated.

She didn't see any killing intent in Naruto's eyes, but rather a hint of pity.

She watched as Naruto gently placed one of his hands on Nagato's shoulder, and suddenly, Nagato felt a warm sensation enter his chest.

His heart actually calmed down.

The feeling was wonderful; it was as if Naruto had soothed his heart and given him a unique kind of mental massage without needing any words.

“This is…” Nagato looked up in slight surprise, momentarily forgetting to protect his vitals.

Naruto withdrew his hand and looked calmly at Nagato: "This is my secret that allows me to persuade others, but I'll make an exception and tell you today."

Although that was not the case, Nagato was moved by Naruto's words.

This unusual action undoubtedly brought the two closer, and the remaining prejudice and estrangement in his heart began to gradually melt away.

“I see, so you try to persuade others with warmth…” Nagato said with a hint of regret, “How foolish and thankless. You might as well have just killed me when I wasn’t looking.”

“I know,” Naruto sighed, “but I know you very well. My master told me a lot about you.”

This statement is a mix of truth and falsehood. During the two and a half years of training, Jiraiya did indeed chat with Naruto about many things related to his student, but the falsehood lies in the fact that he didn't go into that much detail.

"I'll say it again... Nagato, stop now, and I'll protect you from death."

It's true. As long as Nagato doesn't take away his eyes, Naruto wouldn't mind letting him continue living.

If he recovers, he might become an asset to Naruto in the future.

The two men and Naruto stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Nagato sighed and asked, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to give up everything I have?"

Naruto remained silent and took a deep breath.

Emotionally.

He actually managed to persuade Nagato! And he did it in a way that was acceptable to him!

Compared to the original work, which interspersed long flashbacks and used an emotional perspective to persuade Nagato, Naruto in this timeline persuades others more rationally.

Starting with logical consensus, using theoretical explanations as the framework, and finally using warmth to flesh out the flesh.

There is no such thing as the ultimate verbal persuasion; only detailed and specific advice can soothe people's hearts.

But just as Naruto was about to tell the two his philosophy, they suddenly noticed a sound coming from outside.

Naruto frowned. He had instructed Shino not to come in until everything was completely over, to prevent the trust that had been built up from being shaken.

He instinctively turned his back to the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment... let me see what's going on."

The act of turning his back to Nagato eased his initial anxiety. But then, his pupils contracted, and he stared at the newcomer with some surprise.

"It really is you two, Nagato and Konan!"

Naruto was stunned, and instinctively blurted out, "Perverted Sage?"

Jiraiya strode in, but froze when he saw Naruto's direction. He blinked blankly and said incredulously:

"Naruto...you didn't get turned by him, did you?!"

"No, no, no!" Naruto quickly waved his hands, "Let me explain..."

He recounted the events in a very fast voice, which put Jiraiya at ease, but he was still deeply shocked.

"All of this was actually Madara Uchiha's conspiracy..." He sighed, but felt indignant about the sins Nagato had committed, his feelings were complicated.

Then, he shook his head, his voice a little hoarse: "It's my fault. I didn't guide you properly, which led to this disaster."

"Teacher..." Xiao Nan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of all this absurdity.

Naruto remained silent for a long time, looking at the former master and disciple, and then suddenly said softly, "I need to go out and report to the people of Konoha."

His Sage Mode had already sensed Sakura and the others approaching, and,
He wanted to leave them some space.

"I understand, Naruto. Give us a little more time so I can talk to them for a bit."

"I know."

Naruto slowly walked out of the paper tree.

Before leaving, he saw Jiraiya walk into the cannon-shaped wheelchair beneath Nagato, examine Nagato's completely paralyzed lower limbs, and couldn't help but cover his face.

Looking back suddenly, everything has changed.

"That's a damn knife..."

Naruto, unwilling to watch any longer, walked away.

Outside, Sakura and the others had already surrounded the tree. Just as Naruto had said, the area outside was full of Konoha ninjas.

Sakura stepped forward, looked at Naruto, and lowered her voice: "Did you use talk-no-jutsu?"

Naruto nodded, then shouted loudly to those around him:

"We'll bring the war criminals back to Konoha later, but be careful, one of them is paralyzed from the waist down. Go easy on them, lest word get out that Konoha is abusing prisoners!"

On the surface, Naruto could not possibly treat Nagato and Konan kindly, as they objectively committed murder and needed to be tried to maintain order.

Privately, Naruto would try to get them special treatment, since those skilled in Paper Release and those who possess the Rinnegan are valuable combat assets.

Most importantly, Nagato should be placed at Konoha's headquarters to prevent Obito from raiding it.

Naruto and Konan in the original story were naive; they disregarded the Rinnegan and buried Nagato and Yahiko outside, giving Obito an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Kakashi looked at them and said, "Understood. Then we'll stay here and wait for Jiraiya-sama to come out before we act."

"Hmm..." Naruto responded, his ear suddenly twitching.

Did I forget something?

Oh, right, the powerful figure who just fought Pain!
Naruto told Sakura to keep an eye on them, and then he rushed off in the direction of Chibaku Tensei.

He vaguely heard the sound of a guitar strumming coming from deep in the dense forest.

Someone's background music started playing.

……

the other side.

"boom!!"

As the Earth-Exploding Star dissipated, countless boulders crumbled and crashed into the surrounding ground, leaving the area in a state of chaos.

A trickle of water emerges from the ground, mixing with the loose soil to form mud.

The trees were uprooted, and the seedlings were trampled mercilessly.

"boom!!"

A massive purple shadow crashed down, leaving a deep crater in the ground.

Sasuke emerged from inside, surveying his surroundings, occasionally raising his hand to activate the Chidori Spear, cutting through the falling boulders.

"Phew... we actually survived!"

Sasuke looked at the deep pit. Suigetsu had completely given up and was just letting the giant rock fall from the sky without dodging or avoiding it.

"Boom!!" Sasuke shattered a huge boulder above his head and said coldly:

"Don't want to live anymore?"

"Sigh, I can seep into the soil; they've even brought out all the groundwater here..."

Shuiyue's tone was dismissive, which wasn't surprising. After experiencing a battle of this level, any small Karami would give up.

Discouraged people may even question the meaning of life and wonder what they have been working so hard for.
The difference is visibly large...

But Suigetsu had made up her mind to follow Sasuke from now on.

With the ability to fight on equal terms with the Rinnegan possessed by only the Sage of Six Paths, who else could he choose if not Sasuke?

At that moment, Shuiyue suddenly stood up.

He vaguely sensed that a visitor was coming from afar.
