Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Rin raised his hand and covered Nagato's eyes behind him.

Blood spilled from Nagato's eye sockets. Rin withdrew his hand, and Nagato's dark eye sockets came into Obito's view.

Obito's pupils contracted.

The next second, a pair of brand-new Rinnegan grew in Nagato's eye sockets at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Konan, who had been keeping a close eye on Nagato, breathed a sigh of relief.

Rinzo held the blood-stained Rinnegan in his palm and walked step by step toward Obito.

He stopped in front of Obito, reached out his hand, and handed the Rinnegan to Obito.

"Take it, I know you need it."

Rinzo stared at Obito with a smile.

Obito stared at Rin, his gaze carrying a hidden meaning.

He did come to retrieve the Rinnegan, but how could Rin have known?

Obito slowly raised his hand and reached towards the Rinnegan in Rin's hand.

His hand drew closer and closer to the Rinnegan. Just as his fingers were about to touch it, a wooden spike suddenly appeared in Obito's palm and pierced towards Rin's heart.

Rinzo looked at the wooden splinter so close to him, but his smile remained unchanged.

bang——

The Blood Scythe swiftly severed Obito's arm.

The arm holding the wooden splinter was thrown high into the air before finally sinking into the sea.

Rinzo's vision blurred, and Obito's figure vanished abruptly.

At the same time, Obito appeared behind him, the wooden spike in his hand already pressed against Rinzo's back, about to pierce through his skin and go through his heart.

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out.

Obito's arm, still gripping the wooden spike, flew out once more and sank into the sea.

Obito's expression changed, and he suddenly retreated, creating a safe distance between himself and Rin.

He clutched his severed arm; the red light in his pupils had gone out.

He was breathing heavily, staring in disbelief as Rin walked away.

How could he see through Izanagi's disguise?

This guy seems to have gotten even stronger!

Rin walked toward Obito, seemingly oblivious to Obito's wariness, still wearing a smile.

He placed the Rinnegan in Obito's palm, his tone filled with anticipation: "Continue your unfinished mission, Obito."

The word "Obito" was uttered in a very low voice, almost completely lost between his lips.

Obito's pupils contracted, he clenched his Rinnegan, and his figure quickly disappeared from Rin's sight.

"Master, why did you give him the Rinnegan?"

Xiao Nan asked, her brows furrowed with deep worry.

Rin smiled and turned to stare at Konan: "The Rinnegan was never Nagato's. I gave it to him so that the next plan could proceed smoothly."

Xiao Nan looked at Rin with a puzzled expression.

What do you mean?

The Rinnegan doesn't belong to Nagato.

"There's plenty of time; it's time for you to see the truth of the world."

Rin said to Nagato and Konan.

……

"what?"

"Konoha was attacked by the Akatsuki and the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Kirabi nearly spat out his drink; he was so shocked he couldn't even speak properly.

He subconsciously looked at his obedient disciple, Aya Mulei, beside him.

Ayako seemed not to hear anything and continued eating the fish on her plate.

"Yes!"

The izakaya owner, sitting opposite Killer Bee, told them with great interest, "This news has spread throughout the ninja world! I heard that the entire Hidden Leaf Village was razed to the ground!"

Kirabi gasped.

His first thought was of everything that had happened to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Kirabi's heart grew heavy.

"Wouldn't Konoha suffer heavy losses?"

Despite Konoha and Kumogakure being mortal enemies, Killer Bee couldn't help but worry about Konoha.

Perhaps he has figured it out: now the only enemies of the five great ninja villages are the Akatsuki and the Eternal Bliss Cult.

"Then you're wrong!"

The izakaya owner was smug, seemingly very pleased to see Killer Bee guess wrong. He shook his head: "Not a single ninja or refugee in Konoha died. Not only that, the Hokage of Konoha rebuilt the entire village in just ten minutes!"

Chirabi's jaw nearly dropped to the table.

"how is this possible?"

He subconsciously questioned it.

"How is that impossible? The Hokage of Konoha is a powerful ninja who inherited the Wood Release from the First Hokage. The Fifth Hokage is now even stronger than the First Hokage was! What an amazing person!"

The izakaya owner shook his head, his face full of appreciation and admiration.

"Boss! Bring the food!"

Hearing shouts from another table, the owner immediately flicked his towel, turned around, and walked towards the kitchen.

Kirabi glanced at Ayaki out of the corner of his eye.

Chapter 555 Buddhism and the Religion of Eternal Bliss?

"Hey, why hasn't that guy shown up yet?"

In the pitch-black cave, Shuiyue grimaced and complained.

While treating Suigetsu's wounds, Muzan gently poked at them with his fingers.

"I was wrong! Please stop torturing me, okay?"

Suigetsu was in so much pain that her facial features twitched. In Karin's words, she was "as ugly as Jugo after his transformation."

Jugo did not show much dissatisfaction about being implicated.

Suigetsu almost jumped up and started fighting Karin again.

Muzan certainly wouldn't treat Suigetsu's wounds for nothing; he would extract chakra from Suigetsu as payment during the treatment process.

"All right."

Muzan withdrew his hand and pushed Suigetsu away from him with disgust.

Shuiyue stumbled as he was pushed, staring at Muzan in disbelief as if he were looking at a heartless man.

"Shouldn't you people of the Eternal Bliss Sect be saving all sentient beings? How can you be like this?"

Shuiyue muttered to herself as she checked her body for any remaining wounds.

"Buddhism is about saving all sentient beings."

Muzan corrected Suigetsu.

"Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?"

Shuiyue counted on her fingers and said to Muzan, "The Eternal Bliss Cult brings people bliss and eliminates suffering. Isn't Buddhism the same?"

"idiot."

After calmly cursing, Muzan explained, "Buddhism achieves liberation through self-cultivation, while the Eternal Bliss Cult requires no cultivation. The God of Bliss and his apostles will naturally help you eliminate suffering and lead you to bliss."

Shuiyue's lips curled down slightly, and he mentally called it a cult, but he still didn't dare to say anything out loud.

Karin stayed by Sasuke's side. Sasuke sat on a huge beast bone, one hand supporting his forehead, blocking his eyes.

Karin's eyes revealed deep worry.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, a blurry image flickering before his eyes.

His eyesight is getting worse and worse.

Jugo stood silently at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the sky outside.

The group waited quietly for the man from the Akatsuki organization to appear.

"Sasuke, are you going blind?"

Muzan approached Sasuke and looked down at him, speaking to him.

Sasuke paused, then looked up at Muzan, whose figure swayed before him, leaving behind countless afterimages.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, his face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

He stared coldly at Muzan.

Do you know?

"Frequent use of the Mangekyou Sharingan will eventually lead to blindness."

Muzan kindly reminded him.

Sasuke pursed his lips, staring at Muzan without saying a word.

Muzan was already used to his taciturn nature, and he continued, "The only solution is to replace it with the Mangekyou Sharingan of a loved one, thereby evolving it into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Don't you have your brother's eyes?"

As soon as Muzan finished speaking, Sasuke's breathing became rapid. He glared at Muzan as if Muzan had killed his brother.

Just as Sasuke and Muzan were comparing the size of their eyes, a figure emerged from the darkness at the deepest part of the cave and came to Sasuke's side.

A scarlet Sharingan shone brightly in the cave.

Obito's gaze swept over the black cloth bag in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Obito's eyes.

It seems that Itachi Uchiha's younger brother is quite useful!

Obito's gaze fell on Sasuke: "If I'm not mistaken, your eyesight has already started to be affected!"

Sasuke remained silent.

Obito's attitude was much gentler than Muzan's.

Looking at the stubborn Sasuke, he advised, "Your brother's eyes were meant for you; it was his own decision. You haven't avenged Konoha yet. Are you really willing to go blind like this?"

"Strike the snake at its vital spot," Obito's words struck a chord with Sasuke.

Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Uchiha Madara in front of him.

"Whether you choose to have your brother's eyes replaced to avenge him, or choose to remain blind, is up to you."

Obito said calmly.

In Muzan's view, Sasuke's fists were clenched, the veins on the back of his hands bulging as he desperately suppressed the flames of hatred in his heart.

"Give me Itachi's eyes!"
