Chat Group
Lucas: Uchiha Madara is right. By the time he awakened the Rinnegan, he was already quite old. Executing the Eye of the Moon Plan by himself was impossible, so he entrusted his Rinnegan to someone else.
Namikaze Minato: I remember now! Jiraiya-sensei once mentioned that he had three disciples in the Land of Rain. One of them, Uzumaki Nagato, was from the Uzumaki Clan and possessed the legendary Rinnegan—the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.
Senju Tobirama : Nani?! Your teacher Jiraiya was a Konoha ninja, right? If he found someone with Rinnegan, why didn't he bring him back to Konoha and train him?!
Namikaze Minato : Because none of Jiraiya-sensei's three disciples had any strong affection for Konoha. They wanted to stay in the Land of Rain and change their country. Jiraiya-sensei respected their decision.
Senju Tobirama : Your teacher Jiraiya is really something else…
Lucas : Don't be too harsh on Jiraiya. Bringing Uzumaki Nagato—someone with Rinnegan—to Konoha wouldn't have been easy.
Senju Hashirama: Why? Konoha and the Uzumaki Clan were close allies… Oh, wait. I get it.
Golden Lion Shiki : Shihahahah I remember this part! Didn't Konoha betray the Uzumaki Clan? Sounds like karma to me!
Lucas: Not only that. Uzumaki Nagato's biological parents were killed by Konoha ninjas.
Senju Tobirama: Wait… How could Nagato's parents be enemies of Konoha? Was this an act of revenge?
Lucas: You're overthinking it. Nagato's parents were just ordinary civilians—they had nothing to do with any vendetta against Konoha.
Senju Hashirama: Then how did they end up being killed by Konoha ninjas?
Uchiha Madara: I know about this. During one of Konoha's wars against other villages in the Land of Rain, the area where Nagato's family lived turned into a battlefield. Most civilians fled, but his family stayed behind.
Uchiha Madara: Three Konoha ninjas broke into their home, looking for supplies. When they saw Nagato's parents, they mistook them for enemy ninjas and attacked, killing them on the spot.
Whitebeard: What a tragedy…
Senju Hashirama: That's… not as bad as I thought it would be.
Uchiha Madara : Not bad enough? Hashirama, the village you created—the one you believed would bring peace to the world—murdered innocent people in another country.
Senju Tobirama: Madara, don't tell me you orchestrated this. Just like how you manipulated Obito, were you also controlling these Konoha ninjas?
Uchiha Madara: Hmph! Don't put this on me. I had nothing to do with that.
Senju Tobirama: Then Nagato's Rinnegan—that was your doing, wasn't it?
Uchiha Madara: That much is true. I gave Nagato my Rinnegan. But I had no involvement in the deaths of his parents. Although… I did prepare a few other tragedies for him. They just weren't necessary in the end.
Uchiha Shisui: Group Leader, are you going to find Uzumaki Nagato now?
Lucas: That's right. Madara's Rinnegan is with him. I'm going to take it back.
Namikaze Minato: Wait… I remember Jiraiya-sensei once said that all three of his disciples—including Nagato—died during the war.
Senju Tobirama: Your teacher received false information. Have you forgotten what the group leader told Obito? Obito manipulated Nagato.
Namikaze Minato: Eh? I didn't notice that before…
Whitebeard: Minato, what are you going to do with Obito?
Namikaze Minato: I'll handle him according to justice. I won't let personal feelings cloud my judgment. I won't punish him more just because he hurt me, nor will I punish him less just because he was once my student.
Senju Hashirama: So fairness, huh? That means… he won't survive. He's done too many unforgivable things. Letting him live would be dangerous.
Namikaze Minato: So, you're heading to the Land of Rain?
Lucas glanced at the perpetual downpour around him. "Yeah, this eternal rain could only mean I'm in the Land of Rain."
Pirate King Roger: I've noticed something. The Ninja World is very similar to the Grand Line in the Pirate World. Kirigakure has its eternal fog, and the Land of Rain has constant storms. This kind of crazy weather reminds me of the Grand Line!
Whitebeard laughed. Gurararara! Roger, feeling restless? Want to go out and stretch your legs?
Pirate King Roger: You read my mind, Whitebeard! @Lucas, Group Leader, can you reincarnate me? I want to return to the world of the living!"
Lucas: Theoretically… yes.
Pirate King Roger: Then what are you waiting for?! Hurry up and reincarnate me!
Lucas: No can do. Edo Tensei requires physical remains—and I don't have any of yours.
Pirate King Roger : Damn! My remains are all back in the Pirate World…
Lucas: Relax. Once I return to the Pirate World, I'll reincarnate you in seconds. Anyone else in the group want to come out for some fresh air? I can start digging graves ahead of time.
Whitebeard: …Did you just say grave digging?
Lucas: Of course! You're all buried in the ground. How else do you expect me to get your remains?
Fire Fist Ace: …This is making me think…
Golden Lion Shiki: Shihahaha! I wouldn't mind coming back for a bit. The idea of a reincarnated body sounds interesting.
Doflamingo: Fufufufu~ The chat group allows us to see the outside world, but I'd much rather witness the destruction of the World Government with my own eyes.
Namikaze Minato: Group Leader, is that Amegakure (Rain Village) up ahead? That's where the leader of the Rain Shinobi, Hanzō of the Salamander, resides. But what about Uzumaki Nagato?
Uchiha Shisui: Did Nagato seek refuge under Hanzō of the Salamander? No wonder Jiraiya-sama couldn't find them. Hanzō is known as a demigod, a powerful figure in the ninja world.
Senju Tobirama: Wait… what did you just call him?
Uchiha Madara sneered. A demigod—as in "half a God of Shinobi." After Hashirama and I disappeared, the ninja world lost its sense of awe. Even a mediocre man like Hanzō dared to claim such a title.
Uchiha Shisui: He may not be on the same level as the First Hokage, but he was still one of the strongest Kage-level shinobi. His poisonous salamander summon was nearly unbeatable on the battlefield.
Namikaze Minato: That's true. Hanzō was widely respected. He was even the one who gave Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade their legendary title—Konoha's Sannin—after their battle.
Senju Hashirama: Interesting! I'd love to meet this so-called demigod Hanzō of the Salamander.
Lucas: Too bad you can't. Hanzō is dead. He was killed by Uzumaki Nagato long ago. The real ruler of Amegakure now… is Nagato.
Uchiha Shisui: What?!
Namikaze Minato: How did that happen?!
Lucas: Surprised? You shouldn't be. Amegakure has always been a secluded village, isolated from the outside world. On top of that, Nagato deliberately blocked all information from leaving the village. It's no surprise that no one knew Hanzō was dead."
Senju Tobirama: So, Nagato killed Hanzō and took over Amegakure… but never announced it? What is he planning?
Lucas: Simple. Revenge… and the Eye of the Moon Plan."
Senju Tobirama: The Eye of the Moon Plan makes sense—he must've been manipulated by Uchiha Obito. But revenge? Against whom?
Lucas: It's a long story, so I'll summarize. In short, it's another case of a love triangle… and a "best friend" situation."
Senju Tobirama: A love triangle?!
Lucas: Is that surprising? Honestly, I don't know which idiot came up with the idea of forming three-man squads consisting of two men and one woman. Of course, love triangles were bound to happen.
Uchiha Madara: @Senju Tobirama, hello idiot, goodbye idiot!
Senju Tobirama : My squad formation had deep meaning! It was meant to promote teamwork, ensuring that the men recognized the value of women while also fostering competition between the two men to push them to improve.
Lucas: I don't know about that, but what I do know is that this system resulted in endless love triangles and questionable friendships in the ninja world.
For example, take Uchiha Obito's team. A classic love triangle and "bro" situation.*
Lucas: Obito had a crush on Rin. Rin had a crush on Kakashi. But Kakashi… well, he was too busy obsessing over his "best friend" Obito. @Tobirama, your squad system has caused massive consequences in the ninja world!
Uchiha Madara chuckled. What kind of consequences?
Lucas: Before this squad system was introduced, the ninja world was all about brotherly bonds.
Uchiha Madara & Izuna
Hashirama & Tobirama
Hashirama & Madara
Romantic relationships weren't even a major factor.
After the squad system was put in place?
It created a generation of love triangles and complex emotions!*
Uchiha Madara: …
Lucas: Don't believe me? Just ask Senju Hashirama—was Uzumaki Mito more important to him, or was it Tobirama and Madara?
Senju Hashirama: …
Senju Tobirama : Enough! Get back to talking about Nagato!
Lucas: Alright, let's get back to Nagato. After his parents were killed, he became an orphan wandering the war-torn Land of Rain. That's when he met Yahiko and Konan, two other orphans.
Lucas: To survive, Nagato joined Yahiko and Konan in stealing food and fighting for scraps. Eventually, the three of them encountered Jiraiya, who took them under his wing and trained them in ninjutsu.
Howard Stark: Alright, alright, cut to the real story—what about the love triangle? Who liked who?
Lucas: *imple:
Yahiko liked Konan.
Konan liked Yahiko.
Nagato… liked both.
But he wasn't about to be a third wheel.
Howard Stark : What? That's it? I was expecting some drama! Maybe all three of them being together or something…
Lucas: That wasn't gonna happen. The ratio was wrong. If Nagato had been a girl, then maybe… but two guys? No chance.
Senju Tobirama : Forget the love triangle! Explain how they turned against Hanzō of the Salamander!
