Chapter 225 Real Owner

After returning, Aoi then opened a scroll on the rock boulder and summoned out the two solution bottles containing the Shisui pupils and the Obito Mangekyō, which he got from the Kakashi.He grabbed all three Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand and activated his rinnegan ability.

Absorber!!!

Instantly, all sharing turned dry, then transformed into flying ash and disappeared.

A cool sensation spread through his pupils. Aoi was surprised; his temporal ability changed a little; he can now create remote portals and attack remotely using time and space.

'It's the same as Kakashi used in the anime, and I also got Shisui ability, as I assumed, the Kotoamatsukami.' Aoi thought to himself, and then his expression became deeper.

"Although the Kamui effect merged with my temporal, it doesn't matter; the main ability I wanted is this Kotoamatsukami, a genjutsu capable of deceiving people without even them realizing, and using it with my Rinnegan is no less than a horror." Aoi muttered thoughtfully, then thought of his own eternal mangekyō abilities, recall, and jump, which also enhanced a lot after awakening Rinnegan.

Now he can use it more efficiently and jump even a few years in the past and future with it.

After testing his rinnegan, he turned and glanced in the direction of Konoha, becoming thoughtful.

Sensing the restlessness of chakra from that direction, his sense also expanded to an extremely large range, covering almost half the land of fire.

'It seems Pain has already invaded Konoha; how will Obito and Zetsu react once I take away the madara rinnegan?' Aoi thought playfully,

…

Meanwhile, inside the Konoha,

Destruction and chaos are spreading. Pain's six paths are hunting and torturing the Konoha ninjas in order to find the location of Naruto.

As the invasion continued, Konan interrogated several Konoha shinobi about Naruto's whereabouts. 

However, by this time, Naruto had earned the respect of every single Konoha shinobi, to the point that not one shinobi was willing to give away Naruto's location and would rather be killed. 

One such shinobi told Konan to "go to hell" with a smile on his face, despite the hopeless situation he was in. 

As the Deva Path confronted Tsunade to question her about Naruto, Shizune, Inoichi, and Ino Yamanaka discovered the secret of Pain's Six Paths. 

The black receivers planted in the body of the body Jiraiya sent back revealed that each body was merely an animated corpse powered by chakra, and that Pain's real body was elsewhere. 

As Shizune summarized their analysis, the Human Path found and read her mind, discovering Naruto was at Mount Myōboku. 

Upon finding out and being angered by Tsunade's perceived lack of pain, the Deva Path recalled Konan and the other five paths out of the village, where he detonated a powerful Shinra Tensei, destroying most of the village.

Just after the destruction of Konoha village, Naruto was reversed summoned from Mount Myōboku, and he was shocked in horror by the destroyed village. 

Pain then confronted Naruto and easily subdued him using black rods. Naruto then went into berserk mode after seeing pain critically wounding the hinata in front of his eyes. 

…

On the other hand,

Aoi appeared on a faraway hill, feeling the malicious chakra of the nine tails, and then sensed the battle between Berserk Naruto and Pain.

He turned and glanced in a direction, looking at the huge, makeshift tree inside which Pain and Konan are hiding.

Aoi then decided to wait for a while. 

When Naruto appears near Nagato and is bound inside the Chibaku tensei, then he will go and talk to Nagato. As for letting Naruto talk to Nagato, like in the plot, and letting him resurrect everyone in Konoha, 

Aoi isn't interested in that; he simply doesn't care whether Nagato dies evil or good, nor does he care about the lives of those villagers; he will just take away the Rinegan pupil.

Soon, as Aoi witnessed the battle, the ground started vibrating and started pulling debris toward the sky, shaping a huge round boulder with Naruto sealed inside.

"Roar!" instantly the boulder broke open, and half a fox protruded outside, roaring with eight tails flickering out from the other side of the bouder. 

Aoi raised his brow and said, 'If I go and talk to Nagato, it will definitely distract him, and this guy may lose free, which will be a little troublesome. Let's help him a little.'

Aoi raised his hand and clasped it. Instantaneously, more debris flew up, and slowly the boulder became a little bigger, covering almost 80% of the nine tails, which was enough to bind Naruto for a while.

On the other hand, Nagato's expression became puzzled, and while maintaining the boulder, he suddenly felt his chakra consumption reduced by a large margin.

The next moment, his face changed, and he became alert. Conan standing beside him also became extremely alert, looking at the round portal, and a person walked outside from it.

Looking at the Aoi pupils, both Nagato and Conan's eyes widened in horror. 

"Who are you?" Nagato asked, his brow furrowed, raised his hand, and stopped the conan, who was ready to attack.

Aoi glanced at them and then said, "I am Uchiha Aoi; you must have heard about me."

"Why do you have rinnegan?" Nagato then asked suddenly, with a little anticipation, and a bad premonition spread through his heart. Conan's heart also sank, looking at Aoi's six-term rinnegan.

Aoi smiled playfully, then said, looking at Nagato's skeletal figure, "Obviously, after Mangekyō Sharingan, it's Rinnegan. Do you really think an Uzumaki can awaken the Rinnegan? You are just a pawn used by someone to achieve their purpose. You are an idiot if you haven't realized that till now. Look at yourself; you look like twisted sugar cane because of those pupils."

Nagato startled and clenched his fist, feeling absurd. His view collapsed, then, after a while, he raised his head and glanced at Aoi, feeling he was telling the truth.

then took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Who is the real owner of my pupil?"
