Chapter 226 Hard Work

"Madara Uchiha, the one who killed your parent," Aoi said calmly. Anyway, telling the truth to a dying person may relieve him a little."Ha ha ha, so that's how it is. I understand everything, so I was just a pawn from the beginning." Nagato laughed crazily, and tears started flowing out from the corner of his eye's.

"Nagato." Conan glanced at him anxiously and became extremely worried, feeling pity and helplessness in her heart for him.

After a little craziness, he calmed down, bowing silently for a while.

"Now, you want these pupils." Nagato then raised his head and glanced at Aoi, then, thinking of something, added solemnly, "You can take them away; in return, I want you to spare her life."

Aoi nodded, looking at Conan, then glanced at him, looking at him signing the outer rebirth sign. 'Is this plot inertia or something? Why is he reviving everyone?'

"Why are you reviving them?" Aoi asked curiously, looking at him.

"Nagato…" Conan also glanced at him, then fell silent. She knew that after using such art, he would probably die.

"Just once," Nagato raised his head and said calmly, then added, "Just once, I want to act against their wishes and show them I am not a pawn."

Aoi became speechless. 'Bro, you are going against yourself, not them; they just kept you pawn to help them complete a certain goal, and they have plans B and C for that.' He thought but didn't say it out loud, respecting Nagato own self comforting in death.

Rinne-Rebirth!!!

Upon using the technique, Nagato used his outer path to release all the souls that had been captured and to also revive those who had died, including Kakashi, Fukasaku, and Shizune.

"What's happening here?" Naruto appeared inside the makeshift tree, looking at Aoi and Conan with a puzzled expression.

He found this place because the deva path outside suddenly stopped moving.

Aoi ignored him. raised his hand and attracted both Rinnegan pupils from Nagato's eyes; they flew and appeared in his hand. He folded his palms and put them away.

"What's going on here?" Naruto asked again doubtfully, 

Aoi turned and glanced at Naruto and then ignored him again; his figure flickered and disappeared.

Naruto's expression froze. looking at Aoi disappearing, then turned and glanced at Nagato corpse without a pupil, his mouth twitching, and asked, looking at Conan, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Conan glanced at Naruto, then nodded and told him everything just happened. After packing away Nagato's and Yahiko's corpses, she also left, leaving Naruto alone, messy in the wind.

After calming down, Naruto comes out of the makeshift tree.

Looking at Konoha villagers cheering for him, he walked toward them thoughtfully, recalling what Conan said to him about a behind-the-scenes enemy with a mask planning to do something big, and all of them were just pawns, and everything they did had a shadow of that person behind it.

'Uchiha Aoi, Rinegan, ah, it sucks; I don't understand anything.' Naruto thought to himself.

…

On the other side, Aoi was sitting on the small floating boulder. Two Rinnegan eyeballs in his hand turned into ashes. He opened his pupil, and another term appeared in his each rinnegan. Each pupil now has seven terms, and he has also gained madara abilities.

Heavenly Tomb Prison summons seven clones from different dimensions; they can't be seen or sensed by an ordinary pupil.

'These abilities are my soul talents, same as infinity,' Aoi thought to himself, Soul talent means his own race origin talent; these talents are derived from his own soul, similar to infinity; he can gain infinite talents using infinity, but all these talents are linked to infinity as their main source; Mangekyō and Rinnegan abilities are not linked to his infinity; they are awakened by him separately. That's why the more talent he collects, the more beneficial it will be.

"Although I can gain everything using infinity, awakening and achieving something through hard work without using infinity brings the utmost satisfaction to the heart. That feeling is extremely unique." Aoi muttered thoughtfully,

Meanwhile, Sasuke, on his way to Konoha, having left the Akatsuki after capturing the Eight-Tails, was stopped by Obito. 

Obito, angered that Sasuke had failed to actually capture the Eight-Tails, assigned him a new mission: to attack the five kage at the summit. 

Zetsu's white half left to lead the way. 

Obito told Black Zetsu that Pain's defeat was a major hindrance to his plans and that Sasuke would be of no use to him if he couldn't be controlled properly. 

Obito then decided to finally step out of the shadows and commence with the Eye of the Moon Plan himself.

"First, I have to find Nagato's body and get the rinnegan." Obito muttered thoughtfully, then turned into a spiral and disappeared.

…

A few days later,

Sasuke attacked the five-kage summit as he was ordered. On the verge of defeat, Obito appeared and saved his life.

Obito then introduced himself as Uchiha Madara and then told his plan for capturing the final two tail beasts, the eight and nine tails. After finally declaring the announcement of the fourth ninja world war, he disappeared into the spiral.

Leaving Kakashi and the other kage shocked, Kakashi is elected as the substitute Hokage instead of Tsunade before she fully recovers.

Meanwhile, Obito appeared in front of Sasuke inside the Kamui space, looking at his miserable condition after fighting the Five Kages,

"Now fulfill your promise; tell me the truth about the Uchiha genocide and Itachi." Sasuke said glanced at him, 

"Very well, I will tell you; be prepared." Obito spoke, looking at Sasuke star shape Mangekyō deeply. 'Mangekyō, Maybe it's time to tell him the truth and use him to hunt that guy.'

Obito has invited him to Akatsuki, and on condition that he completes the task he personally assigned to him, he will tell him the truth about the genocide and Uchiha Itachi's death.
