At this moment, Obito Uchiha was in an extremely bad mood.
He had been watching the show, wanting to see how Nagato would deal with Orochimaru.
Although Izayoi's appearance had surprised him slightly, it only piqued his interest further.
But before he could even savor the show, he became the subject of it.
The 'Madara Uchiha' persona, which had always been successful in intimidating Nagato and Itachi Uchiha with the help of Kamui, regardless of whether they believed it or not, had been ruthlessly exposed.
All because he visited Rin's grave every year, and during the year the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, he frequently wandered around Konoha, observing the promising Itachi Uchiha, he had been caught with his guard down.
And the one who found this flaw was just a kid who was still in the Ninja Academy at the time.
This made Obito Uchiha feel very frustrated, and also very shocked.
Such intellect, coupled with the bloodline limit of authentic Wood Release, as well as the ninja talent for creating various S-Rank Secret Techniques and the amount of Chakra...
This kid might be even more terrifying than Nagato and that Toneri Otsutsuki.
Before Obito Uchiha could continue thinking, a figure appeared in front of him.
"How do you plan to explain? Madara, no... Obito Uchiha." Nagato asked with a smile, completely different from his usual solemn expression and wary eyes.
Just seeing this smile, Obito Uchiha knew that he could no longer make this man treat him cautiously and as an equal, as he had done before.
"Let's talk inside."
Without waiting for Black and White Zetsu to appear, Obito Uchiha used Kamui to create a black hole the size of a fist, sucking both him and Nagato into it.
Nagato did not resist, allowing Obito Uchiha to suck him into the Kamui Dimension.
"What is this idiot trying to do?"
Seeing this scene, Black Zetsu, who was fused with the earth, plants, and trees, finally couldn't remain calm.
"Is Obito going to tell Nagato all of Lord Madara's plans?" White Zetsu asked worriedly.
"Both of these pawns have slipped out of our control." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, further solidifying his idea of preparing a backup plan.
"This is your Eye Technique space?"
Nagato looked around the dimly lit Kamui Dimension, which was made up of rows of rock pillars, and looked at Obito Uchiha in front of him with interest: "In this place, you can't become intangible, right? Bringing me in here like this, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"Killing me is meaningless, isn't it?"
Obito Uchiha sat cross-legged on the ground, looking indifferent, but in reality, he was ready to activate Izanagi at any time.
"I hope your explanation will satisfy me." Nagato said ambiguously.
Seeing that Nagato didn't make a move, Obito Uchiha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he didn't make a move, his true strength wouldn't be exposed, and it also showed that Nagato was still somewhat wary of his Eye Technique.
If he could smooth things over next, Nagato might not break ties with him, and he and Black and White Zetsu could continue to stay in the Akatsuki.
So, Obito Uchiha sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Do you remember the conversation we had when we first met?"
Hearing this, Nagato's thoughts returned to that rainy day, when Yahiko was still alive, and their ideals had not yet changed.
But it was also after their appearance that disaster quickly descended.
Nagato, no longer the simple youth he once was, immediately gave a cold look and said indifferently, "So what if I remember?"
Tobi Uchiha, unaware that Nagato had already guessed so much and was merely hiding it, still thought Nagato was recalling the death of Yahiko, and continued his performance, saying, "I said back then that where there is light, there must be shadow. As long as the concept of a victor exists, there will always be a loser. The selfish will to protect peace will inevitably lead to war. If you want to protect love, then hatred will be born... This is an inseparable cause-and-effect relationship. Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, with his invincible strength, cannot sever this cause and effect that resembles the rules of the world!"
"But..."
Tobi Uchiha pointed at Nagato's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Rinnegan can do it!"
Nagato subconsciously raised his hand to touch his eyes, then stared at Tobi Uchiha and said with certainty, "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
"That's right. Do you want to know why Toneri Otsutsuki wants to retrieve the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?" Tobi Uchiha asked.
Nagato's pupils constricted instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Why?"
This was indeed what Nagato was most curious about.
Not only him, but probably the entire Shinobi World was curious.
A treasure that could be fought over by two Sage Eye wielders must be something above the Sage Eye.
Nagato only knew that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could seal the Tailed Beasts and use Chakra dragons to instantly kill any enemy it touched.
But he didn't think that such an ability was worth a ninja clan that had immigrated to the Moon for thousands of years to risk igniting the Shinobi World war and expose their origins to retrieve it.
Obviously, Tobi Uchiha knew the true ability of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
As expected...
Tobi Uchiha raised a finger and said in a deep tone, as if reciting something, "Everything will become one with me, a complete body that unifies everything."
Nagato frowned slightly, repeated the words in his heart, and then said, "A complete body that unifies everything, refers to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path recovering the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, but what does the previous sentence mean?"
"What is a Jinchuriki?"
Tobi Uchiha's words were like a bolt from the blue.
Nagato's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "You mean..."
"That's right, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path actually has another name—Ten-Tails," Tobi Uchiha said slowly. "The Uchiha Clan has a Stone Tablet passed down from generation to generation, on which the Sage of Six Paths wrote secrets that only those with powerful Eye Power can decipher. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Rinnegan's secret techniques are all deciphered by me from the Stone Tablet. Our Uchiha Clan bears the mission of correctly guiding the Rinnegan wielder."
Tobi Uchiha continued to point at Nagato and said, "As long as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path recovers the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, it will turn back into the Ten-Tails with overwhelming power! At that time, the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball will be a strategic-level power that the Shinobi World cannot resist, and it can easily help you achieve peace."
"Similarly, the Ten-Tails also has the power to sever cause and effect." Tobi Uchiha opened his arms and described to Nagato with excitement, "As long as you become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, you will have the strongest Chakra and cast a Genjutsu that covers the Shinobi World, allowing everyone to sleep forever in the Genjutsu world. In that world, everyone's dreams will be realized, there will only be victors, no losers; only peace, no war; only love, no hatred!"
