" The Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya."
Aoki Tsuki shouted, preparing to deliver a peace declaration:
"As you can see from the current situation, even at this point, we have not harmed ordinary civilians. This is our sincerity."
The Shinobi World world, after a long period of division, will inevitably unite. Do not try to go against the tide of history, or you will be crushed into dust and completely vanished.
What's wrong with Yamato? It's just a matter of changing who takes charge of the Shinobi World. If the Five Great Nations could do it, why can't others?
Tsunade lost her initial arrogance and became taciturn.
That's just how ninjas are; once they're defeated, the stronger one has the final say, which was exactly what Aoki Tsuki had anticipated.
"From now on, there will only be one true god in the Shinobi World: Lord Pain. He is a man who deeply felt pain and spent his life pursuing peace."
Don't worry that he might have ulterior motives. In God's eyes, all beings are equal, and he will punish everyone who tries to disrupt peace.
Madara intends to cast Genjutsu on the entire Shinobi World, so he is about to face divine punishment. Please watch closely.
Having finished the pleasantries, Aoki Tsuki immediately used Telepathy to discuss the matter with Tsunade in her mind:
" Lady Tsunade, if this continues, not one of you will be left. Konoha will cease to exist. How will the Will of Fire be passed down then?"
As long as people are still alive, there is hope. Konoha at least retains half of the Nine-Tails; the children should be given a chance to grow up.
Perhaps they will be able to reclaim everything they have lost in the future.
" Lord Jiraiya, the leader is also your disciple. You once placed high hopes on him, hoping he would create peace, and now he has fulfilled those hopes."
You should be happy. Resources are limited, and eliminating most of the ninjas is to make room for future generations to survive.
As long as the Five Great Nations do not initiate wars to bully smaller countries, they will remain the Five Great Nations.
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance and remained silent; they had no room for negotiation.
Naruto was displeased and angrily retorted, "What are you talking about? I won't stop fighting..."
"Of course you won't stop fighting, Naruto. Take care of your own problems first."
No adult would stoop to the level of a child, especially the Child of Prophecy, the reincarnation of Asura.
As long as Naruto isn't disturbed, there won't be any major trouble; otherwise, all sorts of unexpected events are bound to happen. The only one who can harm Naruto is Indra's reincarnation.
In addition, just in case, Aoki Tsuki also found two powerful enemies for them in case the two joined forces.
"My trouble?" Naruto was taken aback.
" Naruto!!" Sakura rushed over, crying, "Quick, save Sasuke! Only you can stop him, please!"
" Sasuke? What happened..."
Naruto couldn't stand seeing Sakura cry, especially after hearing news about his best friend; he became even more anxious.
" Sasuke wants to kill everyone in Konoha to avenge the Uchiha Clan."
"What?!" Even Tsunade was taken aback. The trouble caused by the previous generation of villagers hadn't been resolved yet, and now another madman had appeared in the next generation.
" The Uchiha is really causing trouble!" Tsunade exclaimed in despair.
Sakura briefly explained the situation involving the Uchiha and Itachi. Naruto was completely bewildered after listening, as the village was in the wrong.
Jiraiya remarked, "That Uchiha Itachi is truly a ninja who loves the village; he's gone to such lengths for it."
Obito Uchiha nearby, knew perfectly well what was going on and explained, "I was the one who caused the Nine-Tails' Disturbance back then, and I also bear responsibility for the Uchiha Clan Massacre."
"This isn't the time to talk about this. Sasuke won't listen. I need to stop him. Wait, over here... ah, I don't know what to do."
Naruto looked at the village, then at his surroundings, and burst into tears.
Torn between the village and the greater good, ninjas often face this painful choice: to protect one side, they must sacrifice the other.
Obito Uchiha spoke up, "It must be difficult for a child like you to make such a decision. Each generation has its own responsibilities."
We'll handle this; you just need to focus on your own problem.
"Is it really possible?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya said, "Go protect the village and your comrades, Naruto. Trust us."
"Yes, I'll be back soon after I've dealt with Sasuke's matter."
After Naruto finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards the Hokage Rock with Sakura. The surviving ninjas who stayed behind in the village were all there. If they were all killed by the crazed Sasuke, there would be no way to save them.
Tsunade accepted Naruto's departure, prioritizing the protection of the village. Currently, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is facing off against Madara Uchiha.
In the end, it had nothing to do with her; both of them were enemies to Konoha.
" Tobi, I didn't expect you to still care about Konoha. I really can't believe it. What's wrong with you, the one who once killed countless people and destroyed the Shinobi World?"
Obito glanced at Aoki Tsuki and the other two. He couldn't even defeat two of them together, let alone three. That was a combination that even Madara Uchiha couldn't handle.
"Think what you want, I don't care anymore."
Aoki Tsuki didn't care and quickly expressed his opinion:
"Speaking of which... it was you who secretly orchestrated all of this, manipulating the Fourth Mizukage and the battle between Konoha, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."
The Nine-Tails' Disturbance' attack caused countless Konoha casualties in Konoha, indirectly leading to the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan and pushing Akatsuki into becoming a terrorist organization.
Fortunately, the leader said he firmly believed in peace and didn't fall for your scheme; otherwise, we'd all be in Genjutsu world right now.
What are you trying to say?
"Someone has to pay the price for this war. As the culprits, you and Madara will both die."
Aoki Tsuki's face showed sadness as he spoke:
"Actually, you can't entirely blame yourself. As Madara's puppet, you probably couldn't even commit suicide. It's truly pathetic."
boom!
The Gunbai and the Six Paths Staff clashed together.
Nagato did not gain the upper hand in his confrontation with Madara Uchiha, because Madara also possessed the Rinnegan.
" Nagato, your purpose in life was to revive me. Now, shouldn't you return these eyes to me?"
"Give it back to you?"
Ban chuckled, "Hmph, you don't actually think these eyes are your own, do you?"
Nagato looked puzzled. He was certain he had never seen Madara before, nor could he understand what the other was saying.
Do you want me to give you some hints?
Aoki Tsuki quickly interjected, "Leader, don't believe a word he says. Madara was nothing but a loser; he was killed by the First Hokage at the Valley of the End."
Madara was simply trying to play psychological warfare, to make Nagato realize that he had been someone else's puppet all his life, thereby completely destroying his will to fight.
The ownership of the Rinnegan is unclear; there's no logo, so there's no way to prove it.
The best approach is to use fundamental logic. If you say "eyes," I'll respond with "will," which is completely irrelevant.
"What the world knows is not necessarily the truth," Madara retorted.
The truth? Does anyone care? People only want to believe what they see.
"Hahaha... All I know is that in the end, Hashirama Senju was known as the God of Shinobi, and you were just a backdrop to highlight him."
A person who can't even face their own failures deserves to live in the shadow of the First Hokage for the rest of their life.
Don't embarrass yourself by showing off relics from the old era.
"Kid, you've really angered me!"
Ban was furious that someone had reopened his wounds, a sore spot he would retaliate against anyone who brought it up.
Aoki Tsuki continued to provoke, "You're only causing trouble because you're Impure World Reincarnation Body; otherwise, you would have been killed long ago. You can't even handle a few of us juniors."
No wonder you lost. I've checked the cards; they're genuine. I didn't wrong you.
Madara, his killing intent palpable, suddenly turned to Obito and said, "What are you doing standing there? With your Space-Time Ninjutsu abilities, you should be able to pose a threat to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, right?"
Upon Obito, Obito stood rooted to the spot, the man who had been running away actually showing some backbone for once.
"Even you dare to defy me?! Looks like I need to make you realize your place."
Without hesitation, Madara immediately activated the power of his Cursed Seal.
"Ah... ah..."
Obito immediately collapsed to the ground screaming in agony, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed by two hands, suffocating him.
Seeing the once-powerful Tobi in such a miserable state truly saddened Konan and Nagato, with Nagato even subconsciously touching his heart.
Madara vented his anger on Obito, feeling a little relieved.
"If you weren't still somewhat useful, would I have let you live this long? Behave yourself and do what you're supposed to do."
Nagato would never want to revive him; he could only seize the Rinnegan and manipulate Obito to revive him—this was Madara's plan.
Obito was fully aware of this as well.
"Ban, just kill me. I won't be your tool anymore."
"I thought this was a tacit understanding between us. You said it yourself, didn't you? 'Repay my life-saving grace.'"
"Now is the perfect time, Obito."
"Rin... Rin was killed because of your scheme!" Obito said bitterly.
"Hmm? It seems you know quite a few secrets."
Madara opened his eyes and turned to look in Zetsu's direction, but the latter had already vanished. 'Did Zetsu betray me? Impossible!'
" Lord Madara, you treat others as puppets, but you yourself are nothing more than someone else's puppet. Please don't mock your own kind."
"What are you talking about? Who has the right to control me?" Madara retorted domineeringly.
Aoki Tsuki sighed, "Alas, this is the most pathetic thing about puppets; every piece thinks it's the mastermind."
The real mastermind is hiding in a place you'd never expect; that person is Jue.
"Impossible, it was created by me, it was my will."
"The most advanced Genjutsu is arrogance. As far as I know, that guy has existed for at least a thousand years. He is an ancient human absorbed by the God Tree and contains the will of the Rabbit Goddess."
You are nothing more than a tool for it to revive itself. There have been several tools like you in history. Think about it carefully.
Who is guiding you to initiate the Eye of the Moon plan?
Ban was dumbfounded. Countless images flashed through his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
He originally intended to break down Nagato's psychological defenses, but instead, his own defenses were broken down.
"Moon, who are you talking about resurrecting?" Konan asked warily.
"According to my investigation, once all the Tailed Beast are gathered, the Ten-Tails can be fully revived and the so-called ultimate Genjutsu, Infinite Tsukuyomi, can be used."
This will summon the otherworldly God Tree to descend, God Tree will absorb the Chakra of all the ninjas and gather this energy into the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
The ancient goddess, the true master of the Ten-Tails, will be resurrected, so eight and a half Tailed Beast is the limit; any more would be dangerous.
Nagato exclaimed in surprise, "So there was such a secret hidden within! No wonder I felt a power stirring within me."
"That's right. Just don't summon the God Tree, and don't use Infinite Tsukuyomi. I suspect there's a trap here. Just maintain the status quo."
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Obito immediately perked up and laughed unrestrainedly, "Madara, I didn't expect you to be a puppet too, hahahaha... ahahaha..."
"Asshole!!"
Madara went mad, yelling, "Zetsu, come out here! I'm going to kill you!"
