Lin Ze turned and slowly walked back inside the barrier.
He began sorting through the information about the Akatsuki in his mind.
According to the timeline, the Akatsuki should already have been secretly controlled by Obito and Black Zetsu.
Nagato and the others' ideals had probably also been twisted from their original goal of "achieving peace through dialogue," turning them into tools for carrying out the "Eye of the Moon" plan.

If I went all out, my current strength should let me fight him, with perhaps an even chance of winning.
A thought he had dismissed surfaced again.
Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan!
If he could obtain it, he could definitely revive Rei Uesugi sooner.
The temptation was enormous.
But just a few seconds later, Lin Ze forcibly suppressed the thought again.
There were two reasons.
The first, and most important, was compatibility.
