After two days of long journey, Five Kage finally gathered on the land of Land of Hot Water.
"Fourth Hokage! Third Hokage! Madara Uchiha, this ridiculous news, couldn't be a lie fabricated by you Konoha in order to quell the internal and external turmoil?" Third Kazekage asked sternly as soon as they met, his sharp eyes piercing Konoha's two shadows like knives.
"This information was originally discovered by me..." Jiraiya used the same rhetoric again, describing in detail how he accidentally heard someone calling "Lord Madara", how he returned to Konoha with doubts to check, and finally found that Madara Uchiha's tomb was indeed empty.
"Hmph! Third Hokage, how dare you believe such baseless rumors?" Third Mizukage sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"That's right! Without conclusive evidence, who knows if it was a trap set by you? You said Madara Uchiha's body disappeared just because it disappeared? Do you really think we would believe such nonsense?" Ōnoki's voice was as cold as a knife, and every word was like a knife.
"You are simply wasting our time! Are all your Konoha movies so irresponsible?" Third Raikage A's eyes widened in anger, exuding an intimidating aura.
Jiraiya sighed helplessly, "Okay, actually... the news that Madara Uchiha is still alive is the conclusion reached by Uchiha Chuan's analysis."
"Uchiha Chuan? That so-called Uchiha genius? That waste waiting to die? Do you think his words can be believed?" Third Raikage A scoffed, his tone full of contempt.
"I also think your evaluation of Uchiha Chuan is too exaggerated. What he did before was probably just a coincidence. It's you Konoha who are too stupid to regard coincidence as a strategy. If he really has such a clever plan, how can he be willing to wait for death?" Ōnoki was equally dismissive.
"Konoha people are always like this, aren't they? They claim to be the cradle of geniuses, but maybe they are just bragging!" Third Kazekage took the opportunity to retaliate, with a harsh tone.
"Fourth Hokage, you'd better come up with more convincing evidence." Third Mizukage said coldly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. After all, they were frightened by this shocking news and came to attend this Five Kage Talks.
"..." Jiraiya fell into a long silence. In the end, for the stability of the village and for the peace of Shinobi World, he had to grit his teeth and betray his disciples. "Do you know... what I asked Uchiha Chuan to analyze at that time?"
"How do we know?" Third Kazekage frowned impatiently.
"It's the legendary Sage Eye--Rinnegan!" Jiraiya said word by word, his voice echoing in the conference hall.
"Rinnegan?!" Third Kazekage suddenly slapped the table, his eyes gleaming with coldness, "How dare you get Five Kage Talks to fool us with such a ridiculous legend?"
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Jiraiya in shock - about Rinnegan, Jiraiya had never revealed anything to him! Orochimaru's golden snake pupils also shrank slightly, and the corner of his mouth raised a playful arc. "Interesting... it actually involves Rinnegan?"
"Orochimaru, you should still remember that at Second Shinobi World War, I accepted three disciples at Land of Rain." Jiraiya's voice was low.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and recalled, "There was an orange-haired kid, a blue-haired girl... and a red-haired kid. The eyes of the first two were exposed, but the red-haired kid's eyes were always hidden under his hair..." He suddenly paused, and there was a sharp flash in his eyes, "You don't want to say... that red-haired kid's eyes are--"
"That's right." Jiraiya interrupted firmly, "His name is Nagato, a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan... Those eyes are none other than the legendary Rinnegan."
"Bastard! Jiraiya!" Third Hokage clenched his fists suddenly, his knuckles turned white, "Are they the three Amegakure ninjas who came to Konoha before? You actually concealed such important information!"
"They are here to recognize Kushina." Jiraiya's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "Like Kushina, Nagato is also a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan... I don't want him to be monitored and controlled by Konoha like Kushina!"
"Jiraiya!" Third Hokage gritted his teeth and growled, "Kushina is Jinchuriki! Monitoring her is for Konoha's safety!"
"I know..." Jiraiya smiled bitterly, a trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes, "So... shouldn't I say it now?" This is why he hates being Hokage - once he sits in that position, he has to make a decision that goes against his heart.
"So...Rinnegan really exists?" Ōnoki's voice suddenly became solemn, and the original contempt disappeared. If the legendary Eye of the Immortal does appear in the world and is still in the hands of Jiraiya's disciples... then the situation will be completely different!
The expressions of the other three shadows also suddenly became gloomy. If Konoha gets the owner of Rinnegan, even if it loses the two wealthy families Uchiha and Hyuga, I am afraid that Shinobi World will still be able to maintain its dominance! The atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly dropped to freezing point, and the air seemed to have solidified.
"Uzumaki Clan is not good at pupil skills. What they are good at is the huge chakra and Sealing Jutsu." Jiraiya's eyes were bright and his voice was calm and powerful. "Looking at the whole Shinobi World, the real pupil technique is Only Uchiha and Hyuga are the only families that are dominated by martial arts." His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound, "And Hyuga Clan and Byakugan have never been rumored to have evolved in thousands of years."
"But Uchiha Clan is different." Jiraiya's voice suddenly rose, with unquestionable majesty, "Their Sharingan, from One-Tomoe to Three Tomoe, and then to Mangekyō, every evolution is accompanied by a qualitative change in power!"
"And there is only one person who has developed this qualitative change to its peak, and that is Madara Uchiha."
He looked around at everyone, his eyes as sharp as knives. "And this is Uchiha Chuan's analysis, do you understand?"
Orochimaru stood up slowly, with a dangerous light flashing in his golden vertical pupils. "That is to say...Rinnegan is most likely the ultimate form of Sharingan's evolution." His voice was low and hoarse, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears, "And he was able to push Sharingan The only one who has reached such a state is the man who has practiced eye skills to the extreme - Asura of the Ninja World, Madara Uchiha who co-founded Konoha with First Hokage! In other words, the Rinnegan in the red-haired kid belongs to Madara Uchiha."
The entire conference room fell into deathly silence.
In the face of the confirmed existence of Rinnegan, this inference is impeccable.
In other words, Madara Uchiha really might still be alive.
Madara Uchiha, who is still alive, has his eyes transplanted into the eyes of a whirlpool imp. There is definitely an ulterior secret behind it.
And this secret may very well affect the safety of Shinobi World.
