Ignoring the two's attention, Yuzuru approached the Ten-Tails, a small golden halo appearing before him. He then sliced off a piece of the Ten-Tails' shell from its back, a piece resembling dried wood.
The pain caused the sleeping Ten-Tails to twitch, but it did not wake up.
It has been separated into ten Tailed Beast, and now, apart from providing life force and Chakra, it has no other abilities.
Yuzuru held the branch of the God Tree in his hand, and his Nine Tomoe Sharingan trembled at the center of his brow, a rare occurrence. This was only the second time it had reacted this way since the Senjutsu Chakra.
As expected, this is the correct way to unlock the Nine Tomoe Sharingan!
After leaving a barely perceptible Flying Thunder God Mark on it, Yuzuru put away the severed branch of the God Tree and looked at Pain and Konan.
"You've achieved your goal. May you leave now?"
"Okay, but before that, there's something I need to remind you of."
After saying that, Yuzuru activated his Byakugan: Pressure again, crushing all the White Zetsu around him to death.
" Madara Uchiha is dead. That masked man was Obito Uchiha, a cowardly beast."
His Mangekyō ability is a space-time Ninjutsu, which allows him to become intangible and immune to all damage, and also to escape into another dimension. Only Amaterasu flames can negate his intangibility, but there is a cooldown period after each use.
" Obito Uchiha? Why are you telling me all this?"
Pain looked at Yuzuru and asked.
"Because, in my plan, your Akatsuki is also an important part."
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, you are pawns, do you understand?"
Yuzuru looked at him and said bluntly.
"I will bring true peace to the Shinobi World, but before that, I need you to create even bigger chaos. Aren't you going to collect the Tailed Beast and use the Ten-Tails to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Keep doing that."
"You mean, this is the right path?"
Nagato paused for a moment, then looked at him excitedly.
He thought that finally someone could understand him.
"This path is a dead end. You, Obito, and even Madara Uchiha who died a few years ago, are all just pawns. The mastermind behind it all is someone else."
"See those White Zetsu? Can you guess how they appeared?"
"A thousand years ago, the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated once. These White Zetsu are the ones who were trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Konan's face instantly turned pale.
So, we've been on the wrong path all along?
"That was true before, and it's true now. You can continue, because the bigger the commotion you create, the easier it will be for my plan to succeed, and true peace will come."
Upon hearing this, Pain stared intently at Yuzuru.
"Are you telling the truth? Can the Shinobi World really be at peace?"
"Yes, and in the future, it will be a Shinobi World without national boundaries. There will be no countries, no daimyo, and certainly no ninjas! It will be a new era where everyone can live like human beings, not like livestock."
"If what you're saying is true, then I'm willing to help you."
Nagato spoke again.
"Help me? Konan can manage, but you? All you have to do is one thing: be careful not to get your eyes gouged out by Obito."
The true owner of those eyes is Madara Uchiha. Obito is just a pawn in his game. The day you're no longer useful, he'll gouge out the Rinnegan.
Yuzuru glanced at Pain and casually remarked something.
"You mean the real Madara Uchiha?"
Nagato said in disbelief.
"Yes. So I don't need you to do anything. Just continue according to your plan, continue pretending you haven't discovered anything, and continue the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan."
" The Shinobi World needs a major purge. I hope you can lead those few missing-nin and cause a big stir."
"Are we just a decoy to attract the attention of the Shinobi World?"
"You could say that."
Yuzuru nodded.
"As for Konan, I have a plan that's about to begin, and I need someone to be in the public eye. The people around me, including myself, are not suitable, but you are just right."
Why me?
"Because you're not wanted by the Shinobi World, very few people know you, and even fewer have seen you. Simply put, you have a clean background."
Yuzuru looked at Konan and said.
"Of course, there's another reason: you wouldn't be of much use staying here."
Upon hearing this, Konan fell silent.
Pain spoke up at the opportune moment, " Konan, you should go with him. I also want to see what he calls the new era."
"But,,,"
He has no reason to lie to us, because he possesses greater power than I do.
"You can come with me first, and leave a Shadow Clone next to Nagato to help him. I will show you what true peace is."
Yuzuru looked at Konan.
"In that case, I hope you're not lying to us."
"There's no need for that. You're not someone worth fooling."
Yuzuru uttered the most hurtful words in the most indifferent tone.
"Well then, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Yuzuru put one hand on Konan's shoulder and went home.
By this time, it was already dawn.
Before I knew it, I had spent the whole night in Amegakure.
"Here it is?"
Konan looked out the window at the steel city.
" Sea Capital, formerly the Kirigakure, is now the largest and most advanced city in the Shinobi World."
Yuzuru answered her question.
"I will have someone take you to various parts of the Land of Water to see for yourself, and then you will understand what I mean by the new era. As for your task after that, you will await orders. Until then, you will serve as the principal's assistant at the Sea Capital Academy to familiarize yourself with the principal's duties."
"Principal? You want me to be the principal?"
"Yes."
Yuzuru nodded.
In the future, he and Orochimaru plan to use a brand new academy to attract talented people from the Shinobi World.
So the question is, who will be the principal?
A neutral school open to the entire Shinobi World — Yuzuru as its principal? Absolutely not. Everyone knows what Yuzuru said back then; he's now the public enemy of the Shinobi World.
Although no information about the strength of the people around Yuzuru has been obtained, their portraits have already spread throughout the Shinobi World, so none of them are suitable.
Mei Terumi can go out, but the problem is that she's from Kirigakure. Since they both come from powerful nations, her supposed neutrality is a joke; no one will believe it, given that the Shinobi World has always been full of intrigue and backstabbing.
Therefore, the principal who can appear in public can only be someone else, and cannot be a major power.
Therefore, the only suitable candidates are those from small countries, making Konan the best choice.
No one knew that she had any connection with the Akatsuki; even the people of Amegakure only respectfully called Konan" Angel."
Thus, with a motive established and a clean identity, standing in the open is the most appropriate course of action.
As for whether the academy will be coveted by others, hehe, the world only knows that Yuzuru is a terrifying Ice Release master, but no one knows about these eyes, except for the Akatsuki.
Nagato has been persuaded not to leak any information. Although the other members are not good people, they will not say anything out of respect for Nagato's strength and Rinnegan.
Furthermore, Yuzuru Storm Release, which he had never shown before, made him the perfect mysterious and powerful figure to keep the academy in check. Anyone who came to provoke them could simply be killed to establish his authority.
Moreover, he has a secret weapon by his side.
No ninja village would refuse to learn Tsunade's medical knowledge.
A neutral academy suddenly appearing, with even Princess Tsunade as a teacher there— Yuzuru didn't believe those fools in the Shinobi World could resist such a gimmick.
"Go and rest for a while. In a while, I'll take you to visit the Land of Water. After that, just follow the instructions and wait for orders."
"From now on, you are no longer the White Tiger, and you have no connection with the Akatsuki. All you need to do is one thing: learn how to manage a school."
"I do not understand."
Konan shook her head.
What is your purpose?
"It's very simple. The previous generation of ninjas all died or were injured, and the next generation of ninjas, after being 'educated' by us, all gave up being so-called ninjas. Guess what will happen to the Shinobi World next?"
"I call this tactic 'drawing the firewood from under the cauldron.'"
"At that time, I will be able to drastically change the Shinobi World. There will be no obstacles, and no one will be able to stop me. Those students will bring new ideas, follow in my footsteps, and redefine the rules."
Upon hearing this, Konan finally understood Yuzuru's plan.
This move was undeniably ruthless.
When the next generation of all the ninja villages give up being ninjas, the consequences will be terrible.
But is it really possible to do that?
Konan was highly skeptical of this.
Yuzuru, however, didn't care at all, because some things can't be explained in just a few words.
Changing mindsets can be difficult, but it's not impossible either; public speaking is an extremely effective method.
He remembered very clearly how a disappointed art student who failed his college entrance exam gave a speech in a bar, which almost changed the world.
Yes, it's necessary to establish a special relaxation area within the academy.
This way, firstly, we can figure out what the students talk about every day, and secondly, we might be able to emulate the little mustache.
He hadn't forgotten that Orochimaru was a master of brainwashing.
If all else fails, do it yourself, and then everyone raises their right hand at a 45-degree angle to the sky.
After resting on the sofa for a while, not long after dawn, Hong came out of the room in her slippers.
Yuzuru suddenly attacked, hugging her tightly from behind.
"I just can't do anything with you."
Hong turned around in his arms, then tiptoed and gently kissed him, her hands expertly encircling Yuzuru's neck.
Konan peeked out from the sofa, but quickly shrank back after seeing what was happening.
She never expected to see such a scene.
After a deep kiss, Hong licked her lips, looked at him, and asked, "Why are you up so early today?"
Is it possible that I didn't sleep?
"Not asleep again?"
Hong frowned.
"You'd better get well soon, I haven't had anything to eat yet."
Upon hearing Hong's words, Yuzuru gently stroked her nose.
"I know, don't worry, you'll get what's coming to you."
Just then, Hong finally noticed the extra person on the sofa.
"Again? Who is she?"
Red quietly twisted the soft flesh around Yuzuru's waist.
"Ouch, my dear wife, let me explain."
