Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Uzumaki Sora continued, "All White Zetsu are, in fact, people who were affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi and were eventually transformed into them."

"In this scenario, if everyone in the world is killed, is such a world still a world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato looked ahead thoughtfully.

White Zetsu?

Is it possible to make someone fall into a dream and die silently, eventually turning into fertilizer to catalyze the emergence of White Zetsu?

If all the people in this world were to turn into White Zetsu, then there would truly be no more wars in a world without humans.

After a long pause, Nagato asked, "I want to know, who else is behind Obito Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this, Sora knew that Nagato was already hesitating.

In fact, Nagato was clearly thinking about many things at that moment.

Obito Uchiha's age was a major disadvantage; at that age, the Eye of the Moon Plan was clearly not his masterpiece.

Therefore, there must be someone else behind Obito Uchiha.

At that moment, Sora smiled and replied directly, "Uchiha... Madara!"

In an instant, the word resurfaced in Nagato and Konan's minds.

"If that guy named Obito isn't Madara Uchiha, then how could Madara Uchiha, who was recorded as being defeated and killed by the First Hokage, possibly still be alive today?!"

Sora shook his head slightly: "In the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha's goal might have been partly to have a real fight with Hashirama Senju. But his real goal was Hashirama Senju's power."

What is the power of Hashirama Senju?

Looking at the two puzzled people, Uzumaki Sora continued, "Divide Yin and Yang into two poles. The two are opposites and interact with each other, resulting in the myriad phenomena of the universe. Madara knew the information on the stone tablet left behind at the Naga Shrine of the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan are descendants of Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, who inherited the Sage's Eyes."

"The Senju clan are descendants of Ashura, another son of the Sage of Six Paths, who inherited the body of a sage."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Nagato froze.

His Rinnegan is the eye of the legendary Sage of Six Paths...

But what about the Uchiha clan, who inherited the Sage's Eye?

Kong Moran said in a deep voice, "Besides a real fight with Hashirama Senju, Madara's main objective is this: the power of all things in the universe, namely, the Rinnegan!!!"

……

Chapter 181: The Road to Peace

The Rinnegan?!

In an instant, Nagato's heart was filled with turmoil.

This information had been given to him by Sora Uzumaki through Konan a long time ago, but he hadn't taken it seriously at the time.

but now……

Nagato had to carefully consider the veracity of this claim.

Uzumaki Sora looked at Nagato in front of her, still with a slight smile on her face.

In the original story as I remember it, someone like Nagato, who considered himself a god, would only have the right to have an equal dialogue after proving his power.

In the scene of destroying Konoha, Naruto used his talk-no-jutsu to erase Nagato's hatred and made him believe in Nagato's belief in mutual understanding between people.

This may seem absurd in the world of anime, but in the context of real life, there must be a reason for it.

After the Shinra Tensei, Nagato's main body was extremely weak. His Six Paths were defeated by Naruto, and his main body was detected by Sage Mode's perception.

At that time... the power of persuasion was merely a prelude; only the power of being recognized was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Now, after the battle between Uzumaki Sora and Uchiha Kumo, the power he displayed has clearly shattered Nagato's self-proclaimed godhood.

Only under such circumstances would Nagato seriously consider the information brought by Sora, instead of starting with a single sentence about a god and ending with another single sentence about a god.

"Is Madara Uchiha still alive? Was it all his conspiracy? And who is he?"

Nagato's hoarse voice then rang out.

Sora shook his head slightly: "Bandit... is dead."

???

These words stunned Nagato and Konan. They couldn't understand the situation. The mastermind had given his eyes to Nagato and then died.

But is the dead Madara still the mastermind behind everything?

How can it be? !

Seeing the two people's shocked expressions, Kong smiled.

In Madara's plan, he would revive the Ten-Tails using Nagato's Rinne Rebirth Technique, and then Nagato and Obito would hand over the Ten-Tails. Madara would then become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, summon the Divine Tree, and use Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Haha... That's quite a wishful thought.

Why would Obito, who recognized that power, or Nagato, who was able to live to the end, hand over that power and sacrifice himself to revive Madara Uchiha?

However, Madara Uchiha did leave behind some backup plans. The first was the cursed seal in Obito's heart, and the second was Black Zetsu. After all, nothing is more reliable than the embodiment of one's own will.

In the final battle, the cursed seal was broken by Obito through Kakashi's hand. But ultimately, due to Naruto's intervention and Black Zetsu's intervention, it was destroyed...

"He is indeed dead."

Sora raised his head slightly as he spoke, and in an instant, his Mangekyou Sharingan appeared: "Don't resist. With my current power, there's no need to use genjutsu against you. It's too difficult to explain. According to my intelligence, this method might be easier for you to understand."

As the voice of the void faded, the scenery around Nagato and Konan changed rapidly, and the next moment, they saw that the valley below had become the Valley of the End.

"boom!!"

The intense battle and the chaotic chakra all around seemed incredibly real within the genjutsu.

In the distance, the First Hokage, standing atop the Great Buddha with a Thousand Hands, was engaged in a final battle with Madara Uchiha, who was wielding the Susanoo.

"The complete Nine-Tails?"

"More powerful than your previous wooden puppet technique?"

The two, shocked by what they saw, looked at Kong, but Kong just smiled and said, "Look carefully and see clearly the power of these two."

As soon as the words fell, thousands of giant hands behind the Buddha in the distance slammed down, each strike like a Tailed Beast Ball, causing the earth to collapse and rivers to evaporate.

The fully-formed Nine-Tails Susanoo is indeed much more powerful than the previously weakened version by Uzumaki Sora.

However, it seems that even under the Thousand-Armed Buddha, Susanoo was still shattered, and Kurama was also controlled by a single blow, thus breaking Madara's genjutsu.

Finally, exhausted, the two engaged in a final showdown using physical techniques.

It was this scene that Nagato and Konan witnessed from God's perspective.

Madara Uchiha bit off a piece of Hashirama Senju's flesh from his mouth.

"puff!"

At this moment, Hashirama Senju, who finally used a Wood Release clone as fuel to pierce Madara Uchiha's heart, was expressing his determination for the village.

Standing beside Sora, Nagato spoke up, "With that intensity of the battle, and his heart pierced while his chakra was depleted, there's no way he could still be alive."

Sora smiled and said, "The transcribing seal seals the eye technique within the eye. A time or specific factor is set, and the technique will activate automatically when the time is up or the specific factor is met."

Konan said in a deep voice, "Izanagi? The technique you mentioned before can actually revive the dead?"

"Do not……"

Sora shook his head slightly and replied, "It's not like the Rinne Rebirth Technique of the Rinnegan, which can revive the dead. Izanagi is able to record the state of the user using the Sharingan."

"Then, within the effective time of the spell, any damage suffered by the caster, including death, can be physically restored to the previously recorded state."

(Note: The validity period here varies from person to person.)

As soon as Kong finished speaking, the illusion space shifted once again.

Inside the dark belly of the mountain, Ban, who had already come back to life, had a full head of white hair. At this moment, a boy whose body was wrapped in bandages was lying on the bed.

Sora said, "After the battle at Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha was pinned down by a boulder, and his body was on the verge of collapse. Obito gave one of his Sharingan eyes to Kakashi Hatake as a gift for his promotion to Jonin."

"And on his deathbed, he instructed Kakashi to use this eye to protect the only woman in the trio, Nohara Rin."

"However, in fact, the collapsed cave did not kill Obito; Madara Uchiha saved him. The reason for this was Obito's potential."

Konan, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Obito Uchiha was considered a bottom-ranked character in the intelligence reports about Konoha before the Third Shinobi World War, right? Even though he awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe, but..."

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "The Uchiha clan's potential does not lie here. The degree to which they understand love and the depth of their bonds are the true potential of the Uchiha clan."

"Kakashi's left eye was slashed by Iwagakure, and Obito awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan. After that, under Madara Uchiha's manipulation, his other bond will eventually die."

"After understanding love, losing love, and with the deeper the bond, the Sharingan will evolve again due to regret, pain, and hatred caused by the loss of this bond by the Uchiha."

As Vortex Sora finished speaking, the scene shifted within the illusion.

Led by White Zetsu, Obito, who had just recovered and was still wrapped in bandages, followed closely behind. In his haste, he just happened to witness the last scene.

In the three-person team, Nohara Rin was pierced through the chest by Kakashi's Lightning Blade.

"The Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Hidden Mist Village—these two terms are probably familiar to you, right?"

Uzumaki Sora pointed to Obito's eyes as she spoke: "It was at this time that he lost the power of love, which allowed him to gain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age."

"Moreover... in a sense, Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan can be called the strongest Mangekyou Sharingan."

Nagato's gaze turned serious, and he replied in a deep voice, "That kind of ability that can render all attacks ineffective? Indeed, such an ability is almost unsolvable."

Sora shook his head slightly: "In fact, the way to break through Obito's ability was already shown in this scene. Although Obito had already given his other eye to Kakashi at this point, the activation of the Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed linked to..."

After he finished speaking, Nagato paused for a moment, then looked at Kakashi, who had already collapsed and was unconscious.

At this moment, in his madness, Obito used Wood Release to slaughter everyone present, except for Kakashi.

"Hashirama's cells can restore his body to the state of being crushed by boulders. Not only that, they also grant him the power of Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan that prevents him from going blind."

Uzumaki Sora smiled at this moment: "Sometimes, even though I know everything, I still find something inexplicably funny."

"Madara Uchiha unleashed and manipulated Obito's potential by severing his bonds. Obito then severed your bonds to achieve his own goals."

"With this endless cycle, how many layers of nested dolls will Akatsuki become? In fact, is there another mastermind behind Madara Uchiha? Heh..."
