Chapter 218 Obito's Wrath
Chapter 218 Obito's Wrath
Does the Rinnegan truly belong to him?
Or rather, why he has the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.
This is a question that Nagato pondered while training under Jiraiya.
But after Yahiko's death, he never thought about it again.
He is the son of prophecy, he is the Camille of the new world.
Because if it weren't for this, wouldn't Yahiko's sacrifice and everything they've done up to this point be completely meaningless?
Looking back now, since Yahiko's death, Nagato has fallen into a dream, a dream in which he thought himself a god.
But now, the blade that Qianyu stabbed him from behind told him that he was not an omnipotent god.
The problem of the Rinnegan was laid bare before him, and Nagato could no longer escape it.
After an awkward silence, Nagato spoke with difficulty: "I've investigated, and there's no record of the Rinnegan appearing in nearly a thousand years!"
"Hmm, and then what?" Qianyu scoffed. "Because there's no record of the Rinnegan appearing in nearly a thousand years, does that mean you were born with the Rinnegan?"
"Are you kidding me? You actually believe history, that kind of fabricated narrative that can be dressed up however you like?"
"Not to mention that the ninja world, or even the five great nations, have any legitimate historians who have produced any proper historical records?"
"You really need to go to school, Nagato!"
"Phoenix Temple Chiba, shut up!"
Chiba's merciless sarcasm prompted Konan to activate her guard mode: "Nagato's knowledge is not for you to judge!"
"And even if Nagato's knowledge is insufficient, that's not his problem. All three of us were taught by Jiraiya, and according to Jiraiya, all three of us learned very well."
"So if you don't like it, then it must be Jiraiya-sensei's problem!"
Xiao Nan shifted the blame entirely.
Qianyu: "Ah, this..."
She thought about Jiraiya's carefree attitude, how he was fooled by the Great Toad's prophecy and abandoned even the goddess, running all over the ninja world.
Chiyu straightened her hair: "It seems there's nothing wrong. Jiraiya definitely played poorly this time."
"So, shall we take a gamble?" Chiyu changed the subject: "While Jiraiya's teachings had their problems, I think he must have taught you about the concept of genes, right?"
"Want to verify it? Verify whether the genes in your eyes match your own. Scientific verification is different from historical verification; right is right, and wrong is wrong."
"If it is verified that your Rinnegan is indeed your Rinnegan, then I will return it to you in its original form. I can also swear an oath and even place a curse seal on you to ensure that you will obey my orders from now on."
"But if it turns out that your Rinnegan isn't your Rinnegan, you'll have to accept the fate of having your Rinnegan removed and go live in seclusion in a small mountain village with Konan."
As she spoke, Qianyu gave Xiaonan a mischievous look: "Of course, if you want to rebuild Akatsuki after you go into seclusion, I have no objection. With Xiaonan's physique, having 10 children is no problem."
"What do you mean you can have 10 children without any problem? And don't talk like you've already obtained the Rinnegan!"
Hearing Qianyu's words, Xiaonan felt both ashamed and angry.
"Sigh!" Seeing this, Nagato sighed, "Forget it, Konan!"
"Nagato!" Konan stared at Nagato in disbelief.
"That's enough, Xiao Nan, that's fine!"
Nagato's tone was filled with deep weariness: "From the moment we founded Akatsuki with a heart full of passion, we have tried, we have suffered, we have sacrificed, and we have even been desperate."
"We've given so much and done so much, and all we've gained is that the world is becoming more and more chaotic."
"Now that things have come to this, I've lost, so there's nothing wrong with giving up now."
"Nagato?" Konan was stunned as she listened to Nagato's explanation.
Because this wasn't the stubborn Nagato she remembered. Wasn't Nagato the one who valued Yahiko's last wish the most?
Given Nagato's current state, Konan would believe it if he were being controlled by Chihiro.
“There is no mind control.” As if knowing Konan’s thoughts, Nagato spoke.
At that moment, Sha Qianyu released the restriction on Nagato.
Then, to Konan's astonishment, Nagato roared and broke free of the tubes inserted into his back.
"Jingle bells!"
The long black tube fell, making a crisp sound.
Immediately, Nagato, having broken free of the tubes, stood up, swaying from her seat but resolutely walking down!
"Nagato, your foot!"
Xiao Nan looked at this scene with confusion.
Wasn't Nagato's leg rendered useless after being hit by Hanzo's explosive tag array? Why is he suddenly able to walk again?
"Because Chiyu healed me!" Nagato explained.
He turned his head and looked at Qianyu, who had sheathed his long sword and was standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with shock and confusion: "What was that just now?"
"You asked about the treatment methods for you?" Qianyu explained, "The Corpse Bone Pulse Technique, the Reincarnation Technique, and a little bit of medical ninjutsu."
"The problem with your foot is that it wasn't treated in time after the injury, and it atrophied later. At the same time, the long-term use of the Rinnegan puts too much strain on it and consumes too much of your life force."
"So I used my own reincarnation technique to replenish part of your body, then used the Corpse Bone Pulse to set your bones, medical ninjutsu to awaken your nerves, and then I nourished you with life force, and you're all better now."
"Your legs definitely won't be able to move like a ninja afterward, but if it's just a normal pastoral idyll, that's fine."
"So that's how it is!" Xiao Nan nodded repeatedly upon hearing Qian Yu's words.
However, Nagato shook his head at this moment: "That's not what I'm asking!"
"What I'm asking is, what did you put inside me, and why did I lose control of my body the moment that thing entered me!"
"What!!?"
Xiao Nan was shocked again.
She was saying that Nagato's change was so rapid because Nagato was simply no match for Chiba!
"Well, that's a secret!" Qianyu smiled slightly.
The next second, Chiyu's figure suddenly left afterimages, flickered in front of Nagato, and then returned to its original position.
"Nagato!" Konan rushed over and protected Nagato.
While keeping a close watch on Chiyu, Konan glanced back and discovered that Nagato's eyes had been switched in that instant, from the Rinnegan to the Sharingan!
"Nagato, how are you?" Konan asked anxiously.
“I’m fine, Konan!” Nagato shook his head: “My optic nerve was severed after the Thousand Feather Blade pierced me, so I couldn’t use the Rinnegan at all.”
"Now that Chiyu has given me a pair of Sharingan and reconnected my optic nerve, I'm actually feeling a bit better than before."
As he spoke, Nagato touched the brand-new Sharingan in his eye socket: "They just replaced my Sharingan with a pair of new ones. What a generous gesture."
"Use it with confidence. This is a legitimate Sharingan. I've asked the person who owns it."
Chiyu placed the Rinnegan in her hand into a pre-prepared test tube.
"Then, as agreed before... let's go!"
Chiyu grabbed Konan with one hand and Nagato with the other, and the three of them vanished using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
When Obito and Black Zetsu arrived later, all they found in front of them was an abandoned iron throne and a long tube stained with blood.
"Where are they?!" Obito instantly flew into a rage, grabbing Black Zetsu by the neck and shaking him violently. "I'm asking you, where are Phoenix Temple Chiba and Nagato?!"
"Didn't you say you'd reached an agreement? Is this what you mean by 'reached an agreement'?"
Black Zetsu: "..."
All I can say is that sometimes it does want to call the police.
