Chapter 273
"Are these eyes really Uchiha Madara's?"
Nagato touched his eye sockets. He had always guessed who the real owner of his eyes was, thanks to Lu Nie's reminder. Combined with the existence of White Zetsu, he was almost certain that it was Uchiha Madara. The stone tablet in front of him was just the final conclusion.
After all, the method of opening the Rinnegan is recorded on the stone tablet, and the only person who could read this content was undoubtedly Madara.
"Since he transplanted these eyes to you, it means that you are now the owner of these eyes. As long as you can stick to your heart, Nagato, Kaname, Orochimaru and I will all stand by you." Jiraiya stepped forward and stroked Nagato's somewhat dry red hair, comforting him.
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, which is also famous for its vitality, Nagato is younger than Kushina, but he does not look as healthy as Kushina, neither in terms of complexion nor condition.
The red hair was mixed with some gray roots, as if the vitality had been consumed. It was obviously the burden of using the Rinnegan, which was still beyond the endurance of Nagato's body.
"I know, Jiraiya-sensei." Nagato put down his hand and said calmly, "Whether it's me, Yahiko, or the Land of Rain, we all need these eyes! We need the power they bring. Until Yahiko's wish is fulfilled, I will keep these eyes safe."
Fugaku opened his mouth when he heard this, but after looking at Jiraiya and Lu Ni, he still said nothing. Logically speaking, this pair of Samsara eyes should belong to the Uchiha clan.
Even though Madara had already betrayed the village and clan, his blood and eyes still belonged to the Uchiha clan. Just like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, once it was circulated, both the Hyuga clan and the village would be eager to get it back.
The same goes for the Sharingan.
No Uchiha would like to see their own people's eyes being used by an outsider. Even if it was a voluntary gift, there was something to it.
But in this situation, even if he wanted to ask for it, he had no way to do so.
What can I do?
The eye was given by Uchiha Madara, and the current bearer is a teacher named Jiraiya. From the current point of view, the attitude of the Hokage Orochimaru is uncertain, but Shikagawa is on the side of Nagato, and Shikagawa's attitude is likely to affect the attitudes of Orochimaru and Tsunade.
They're not Danzo, right?
Fugaku, who had been struggling for a moment, was relieved at once. At the moment, it was good for this pair of eyes to be on Nagato, at least the other party could use its power, and was also a firm ally of Konoha.
"Let's go and tell Orochimaru and Tsunade about this news. Let them decide on the next plan." Jiraiya pushed Nagato's shoulder. Seeing Fugaku keeping silent and looking relieved, his expression suddenly became much more relaxed. "At least we are no longer completely ignorant of Madara's purpose."
He was also worried that Fugaku would ask for the Rinnegan, but looking at the other party's expression, it seemed that he had given up on this. This made Jiraiya feel a lot more relieved.
Otherwise, if Fugaku really insisted on asking for it, Jiraiya, as a high-ranking official of Konoha, would also be in a difficult position.
"Since you're in Konoha Village, why not check your body again? You've used these eyes too much in recent years." Kane reminded Nagato.
"Tsunade-sensei has researched a lot of drugs that can be used to replenish chakra, adjust the body, and stimulate vitality. They may be useful to you and can reduce your burden.
Of course, it may also inspire more power in these eyes, allowing you to bear greater burdens. "
"Okay!" Nagato nodded. He was a relatively introverted person, always willing to listen to the words of people he trusted. The people of Rain Village were Yahiko and Konan, and the people of Konoha, their trust and gratitude to Lunai was even higher than Jiraiya. After all, Lunai had helped the three of them so much, even more than Jiraiya did back then.
Now the three of them can transform the Rain Village and the Rain Country step by step in a better direction, and Lu Nie has played an irreplaceable role in this.
Especially now, the Rain Country has finally gotten rid of the sorrow of being a small country, has the power to protect itself, and has signed an alliance with Konoha and the Sand Village.
Nagato knew very well that Konoha had sacrificed part of its own interests in this regard to support the Rain Village. This was what Hanzo regarded as his ideal desire!
In the Hokage's office, after listening to the information reported by Jiraiya and Fugaku, the excitement in Orochimaru's eyes was almost too intense to conceal.
"Ten-Tails?"
There was a certain desire in Orochimaru's hoarse voice.
"Orochimaru! That requires nine tailed beasts and that Outer Path Demon Statue." Tsunade frowned and knocked the table in front of him with her fist.
The heavy table shook and jumped a few times when hit by Tsunade's fist, but strangely it was not damaged by such great force. It was obvious that Tsunade used her strength to reach a new level of mastery of her supernatural power.
"Even if you can get the other eight tailed beasts, what will Kushina do?"
Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade and restrained his greed, "Don't worry, I won't attack the tailed beast easily. If I do this, I will undoubtedly declare war on the entire ninja world. This is inconsistent with the plan we have made!"
Jiraiya and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Orochimaru would not care. They had no confidence in Orochimaru for the precious "research material" such as the Ten-Tails. As a result, they did not have much confidence in Lunae.
The master and the apprentice do not have any desire to possess the tailed beasts, but they are very eager to study them! In the hands of Lu Nie alone, there are parts of the chakra of the two-tailed beasts, the four-tailed beasts, the five-tailed beasts, and the eight-tailed beasts.
The Two-Tails was transformed beyond recognition by Kane using the power of Hollows. It has completely deviated from the category of Two-Tails and became a new individual that feeds on Hollows and Reishi.
The remaining few small-tailed beasts also have similar tendencies.
"But if there is a chance, can we separate a portion of the tailed beast's chakra and try to create a weaker version of the Ten-Tails?
The technique of splitting the tailed beasts essentially cuts off a part of the soul. This is easy for both Luna and me to do. This will achieve our goal without killing the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts. The destructive power and strength of the Ten Tails created should also be within our control. "
Sure enough, Jiraiya and the others soon heard the plan involving the Ten-Tails from Orochimaru.
Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other in bewilderment, some holding their foreheads. Because he found that Orochimaru had completely learned the argument style of "if you can't tear down the roof, you have to agree to tear down the windows."
Overall, this was a good thing, as it showed that the crazy Orochimaru was willing to control himself and make concessions. Similarly, since he had made concessions, they had better make some concessions as well.
