Chapter 158: Welcome to the Two of You Joining the Kiri Shinobi
Uchiha Itachi's eyes?
Hearing Konan's voice, Nagato paused slightly, and then his spirit shook.
There had been some speculation before, but now it seemed that Uchiha Itachi had indeed died at the hands of Kirigakure.
To be precise, he should have died at the hands of the man before him.
Konan glanced at the pair of eyes in Yuto's hand, then turned her gaze to Nagato, who was somewhat silent.
For a moment, the air suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for Nagato to make a decision.
Konan gritted her teeth and swallowed the words on her lips; she knew that this decision of Nagato's would have a significant impact on the entire Amegakure.
But Konan respected Nagato's decision.
After a long while, Nagato looked toward Yuto and slowly spoke, "With just Uchiha Itachi's eyes, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
"Of course, it's not enough. Have you heard of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Yuto had a faint smile on his lips as he spoke softly.
Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
Nagato was a bit dazed; regarding this point, he indeed was not clear.
"To be precise, this should be considered a curse of the Uchiha clan. After the Sharingan evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan, if there is no special method, with the use of its abilities, the Mangekyou Sharingan will gradually go blind."
"And to remove this side effect, one must use the evolved eyes of a biological sibling to fuse them together, in order to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Uchiha Madara's eyes were obtained this way."
"And in the entire ninja world, this is the only pair that can evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan again."
Without waiting for Nagato to speak, Yuto explained.
"Uchiha Itachi indeed has a younger brother named Uchiha Sasuke."
Konan's eyes lit up as she spoke softly.
Yuto smiled lightly, looking indifferently at Nagato, whose face already showed some signs of being moved.
Unlike Konan, who thought of Uchiha Sasuke through Yuto's words, Nagato heard another important piece of information from Yuto's previous words.
"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan? How did Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan come about?"
Nagato thought of a certain possibility, looking at Yuto with a trace of trembling in his voice.
"Haven't you already guessed it?"
Looking at Nagato, whose body seemed to be trembling slightly from excitement, Yuto smiled lightly and spoke again:
"If you can really do it, not only can you obtain a pair of Rinnegan that completely belong to you, but you can also stand on this stage again and possess the qualifications to compete with us!"
"At that time, you will only then be qualified for the title of 'God.' But right now, you are merely a joke."
Yuto spoke bluntly, his voice carrying a trace of mockery.
Nagato was not angry; the title of "God," for him right now, was indeed a huge irony.
"Aren't you afraid that after I possess the Rinnegan again, I will make a move against you?"
Nagato spoke in a somewhat low voice.
Yuto smiled lightly and spoke casually, "Who knows what will happen in the future."
However, Nagato heard a confidence from Yuto's voice.
"What exactly is your goal?"
A solemn look appeared on Nagato's face as he looked at Yuto seriously.
"My goal is to bring true peace to this ninja world. Do you believe me?"
The smile on Yuto's face remained unchanged, but in his voice, there was a seriousness that had never been there before.
Nagato's body trembled, and he slowly stood up from the ground.
"Starting today, I will assist you until I can ascend to this stage again."
The smile on Yuto's face deepened. He gently shook the two Sharingan placed in a special bottle in his hand, then casually tossed them into the hands of Konan nearby.
"Welcome to the two of you joining the Kiri Shinobi!"
Faint laughter rang out in the forest.
Kirigakure, at the main gate.
Mei Terumí had a worried look on her face, glancing from time to time toward the direction where the sounds of battle had come from earlier.
If Yuto-sama had not instructed in advance that they did not need to interfere, Mei Terumí would have long since led the Kirigakure troops to the place of the battle.
Just at this moment, several light footsteps came from the distance, instantly attracting Mei Terumí's attention.
Looking in the direction the sound came from, three figures appeared before Mei Terumí's eyes.
Seeing Yuto walking at the very front, Mei Terumí let out a light sigh of relief in her heart, but her face held a puzzled look as she gazed at the two figures behind Yuto.
Yuto and his group walked quickly; it didn't take long before they appeared at the main gate of Kirigakure.
"Yuto-sama."
Mei Terumí hurriedly stepped forward to Yuto's side and spoke softly.
"For the Mizukage to personally wait for me, I feel embarrassed."
Yuto looked at Mei Terumí and spoke with a smile. At the same time, he gave Mei Terumí a general introduction of Nagato and Konan.
Hearing that the two people were the true rulers of Amegakure, an expression of surprise appeared on Mei Terumí's face.
However, compared to the identities of the two, Yuto's next words almost made Mei Terumí think that Yuto was joking with her.
Uchiha Madara had been revived!
The amount of information contained in this news was too great, enough to make the entire ninja world tremble.
Akatsuki Base!
Uchiha Madara sat cross-legged at a position above the massive Gedo Mazo, his expression indifferent.
"Looks like everyone is here."
Sensing several auras appearing in his perception, Uchiha Madara spoke to himself with his eyes closed.
At this time, the other members of the Akatsuki organization had also all arrived, looking at Uchiha Madara above with gazes of doubt and gravity.
"Zetsu! What is going on? Who are those two guys up there!"
Hidan looked with displeasure at Uchiha Madara above, and at Obito standing not far from Uchiha Madara.
Not only Hidan, but the other members of the Akatsuki organization also had looks of dissatisfaction on their faces, and some even revealed killing intent.
"Starting today, Uchiha Madara-sama is the leader of the Akatsuki organization."
White Zetsu giggled, looking at everyone as he spoke solemnly.
Uchiha Madara?
Hearing this name, all the Akatsuki members present were stunned.
Immediately, Deidara suddenly covered his stomach and laughed, clearly not believing it at all.
However, Kakuzu looked at Uchiha Madara sitting cross-legged on the Gedo Mazo, his expression suddenly stiffening.
A blurry yet somewhat familiar figure surfaced in Kakuzu's mind.
"A new leader? Where is Pain?"
Sasori swept his gaze around and discovered that not only had Pain not shown up, but even Konan, who often followed Pain, had not appeared.
"Killed by me. Do you have any objections now?"
Uchiha Madara slowly opened his eyes, his gaze cold as he stared at the Akatsuki members below.
