Chapter 217: Konan, Let Me Tell You About a Forbidden Jutsu Called Izanagi!
This woman, Konan… was too materialistic!
How can you always be so fanciful?
Can't you be a little more rational, a little more realistic! You can't always be thinking about defeating that crow. What damn use is there in beating a bird!
Obito Uchiha had already received the news from Zetsu about the great battle that occurred last night. Both the First Hokage and Pain had displayed immense power, yet they had still become mere footnotes to that crow.
Never mind that he was a counterfeit 'Madara Uchiha'; even if that old geezer was truly revived by the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu and crawled out of the ground to join the fight!
He'd probably have to use Izanagi just to escape…
The problem was, if he couldn't persuade Nagato and Konan to retreat, what would happen if those two stayed in the Hidden Rain Village and fought that crow to the death?
Wouldn't all his years of hard work have been fed to Pakkun?
"Konan, don't be concerned with the temporary existence of the Hidden Rain Village. The world you see is false. After our plan is completely successful, everything you want will be realized…" The mysterious masked man paused, then continued, "I will arrange a new base for the organization…"
"But the Hidden Rain Village is our home!"
"Hasn't this place brought you enough pain?" The voice under the tiger-striped mask gradually grew colder. "When the plan succeeds, you can build any kind of Hidden Rain Village you want, even a Hidden Rain Village with Yahiko in it…"
"…What… are you talking about!" Konan's face was flustered. "Yahiko died a long time ago!"
Ever since Yahiko's death, Nagato had been focused on developing the abilities of the Rinnegan. Among them was a technique, the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, which could revive the dead at the cost of the user's life…
Nagato had not chosen to hide this matter from Konan.
However, Konan would not allow Nagato to use the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu. To trade one life for another—wouldn't Yahiko be in even more pain after being revived than Nagato was now?
He had died without regrets to save his comrades!
Most importantly, in this ninja world, without sufficient power, without true peace, even if Yahiko were revived, he would only be plunged into a new round of war.
"The weapon of war we are creating is more powerful than you imagine!" The tiger-striped mask slowly approached Konan, whispering in her ear, "It can bring more than just power to the ninja world, much more! The life you desire, it will help you achieve it!"
"Whether it's a deceased friend…"
"Or a long-missed best friend…"
"As long as it's what you want, it can be done!"
"The Sage's Eyes, the nine most terrifying Tailed Beasts in the ninja world—how could they be something as simple as an ordinary weapon of war! What they bring is true peace!"
"Even if you want to go back to many years ago, to the days when the three of you were together with Jiraiya, don't you want that?"
"Konan…"
In the dark basement, the mysterious masked man's voice was like the temptation of a devil. He didn't know if he was luring Konan or comforting himself…
Paper instantly scattered from Konan's body and floated upwards, re-condensing in the air into the form of the angel of the Hidden Rain Village. "What… do you mean?"
"Chakra can do many unbelievable things…"
The mysterious masked man spread his hands and softly soothed her emotions. "When you first came into contact with the ninja world, did you ever imagine that this day would come?"
The female ninja slowly lowered her head. "…I don't believe you…"
"Madara is right."
Black Zetsu spoke from the side in a raspy voice, "Konan, before the Gedo Statue is fully revived and able to participate in battle, we cannot achieve victory no matter what. Why not wait until the plan succeeds, and then you can verify this matter!"
"No matter what…" The mysterious mask slowly looked up and said, word by word, "The only person who can control the Gedo Statue is Nagato, who possesses the Sage's Eyes, is it not?"
"Impossible, I still don't believe you…" The paper wings on Konan's back fluttered slowly. Her brow furrowed tightly. "The Hidden Rain Village was painstakingly developed by me and Nagato. We will not abandon it so easily! Unless you can give me some substantive evidence!"
This woman Konan is very materialistic, but isn't she also too shrewd?
If they didn't reveal something substantial at this time, she probably wouldn't carry out the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts so easily, and might even throw a wrench in the works.
If they weren't in the Hidden Rain Village, Obito Uchiha and Zetsu would have definitely killed this woman. Then they could control the remaining Nagato however they pleased!
If they can't even fool a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, what's the point of them even trying!
But then again, if they couldn't even fool a little Konan, they probably had no business trying at all…
In the heat of the moment, Black Zetsu actually thought of an explanation!
"The Sharingan, which is one of the Three Great Dōjutsu along with the Rinnegan, has a forbidden technique called Izanagi. It possesses the power to change reality, to turn damage received in reality into a dream. But at the same time, it causes the Sharingan to lose its light completely…"
Black Zetsu ignored the somewhat astonished masked man beside him and tactfully told a story. "Lord Madara was severely injured in his battle with Hashirama Senju back then, on the verge of death…"
"Madara used Izanagi, changed reality, and thus survived. That is why he can now only use one Sharingan…"
"The Rinnegan is the eye that the Sage of Six Paths possessed back then. Its power is inscrutable, but it is absolutely far above that of the mere Uchiha."
After a moment of thought, Black Zetsu continued, "Using the Rinnegan to channel the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts in the Gedo Statue will surely be a power that can truly change the world!"
Konan nodded thoughtfully and looked at the mysterious masked man. "Is that so, Mr. Madara?"
She was already mostly convinced in her heart.
After all, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan did indeed possess bizarre and unpredictable powers.
While listening to Black Zetsu's story, Konan had also been observing 'Madara Uchiha's' movements. When Black Zetsu mentioned 'Izanagi', 'Madara Uchiha's' body had flinched slightly, which seemed to confirm that what Black Zetsu said was true.
And after witnessing Hashirama Senju's god-like power last night, she found it hard to imagine how the 'Mr. Madara' in their organization, who just flew around with space-time ninjutsu, could have survived the Battle of the Valley of the End…
That was an enemy that even Pain could not defeat!
And for some reason, Konan always felt that this 'Mr. Madara' in their organization wasn't that impressive…
Perhaps it was precisely because he had lost a Sharingan that 'Madara Uchiha's' strength was greatly reduced, which was why he was willing to cooperate with them to jointly capture the Tailed Beasts and create a war machine…
But if that was really the case, with 'Madara Uchiha' missing a Sharingan, his strength would have to be discounted!
She just didn't know what expression was under the mysterious mask. He just nodded lightly and said, "That's right. Actually, my true goal is to hope that at that time, Nagato can restore the light to my eye, so I can once again possess the power of the Sharingan…"
