Even if he knew he had to move away from the range, it was too late. His right leg was disabled and he could only move with his left foot. He had no way of moving away from the range covered by Nagato’s adjustment of distance using the Yatagarasu’s flying technique.

Izanagi’s time limit…only one minute left!

One minute later, one can imagine what is waiting for him!

This is a defeat that can be seen at a glance…

He could use his right eye to activate Izanagi… but so what? It was just delaying his death.

“Why is it that in just one year, Nagato has grown to such an extent…?”

Is it true… that there is really no hope at all in this cursed ninja world?

No…it can’t end like this!

Even if there is only a slim chance! Even if I have to live in humiliation!! I can’t die here!

I still have time, I still have a chance!!!

He and Xiaonan had both expressed their yearning for my Moon Eye Project! It was only because they later discovered that my identity was fake and then lost trust in me that they chose to go against it!

“Hahahaha.” Facing the reality, Uchiha Obito smiled sadly: “Nagato, I admit that I completely underestimated you. Well… I am not as skilled as you, so I have nothing to say about this ending.”

Haha… I have to endure humiliation. Nagato thought: Well, he took the initiative to bring it up, which is much more effective than me deliberately guiding him.

“So, you admit defeat?”

“I give up.” Obito’s left eye was almost closed.

“I’m going to die in your hands soon. I have nothing to say. But before that, can you listen to a few words from my heart?”

————-

Thank you to Hua and Xiuer from ‘Juanjuanqiaokeai’~~!! You are my light during the days of waiting for the birth at home~!

Chapter 169 The dust has settled!

Obito’s humble plea was met with a slap in the face from Nagato!

“Why should I listen to your heartfelt words? I thought you were really a messenger sent by the Six Paths Oracle to guide me! But it turns out that you are a liar pretending to be a big boss! You are a liar who deceives the world and steals your reputation!!”

“From this, it can be seen that the so-called Moon Eye Project is nothing more than a foolish scam!! Liar!! Xiaonan and I were so excited when we heard your Moon Eye Project blueprint!!”

Nagato clenched his fists and denounced Obito with resentment.

But in his heart he showed a fox’s smile: I have paved the way for you, just give it your all, Tuzi.

Nagato’s harsh condemnation gave Obito hope!

As expected, what bothered Nagato the most was my deception of his identity! Deep down in his heart, he approved of the Moon Eye Project! It was only because his trust in me collapsed that he began to question the authenticity of the Moon Eye Project itself!

There is a play!

Keep him steady first!

“I admit that I pretended to be Madara to approach you, and fabricated the lie that you were the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths! But, please just believe me! The Moon Eye Project is not a foolish dream!”

Nagato asked: “Why should I believe you!!!”

Obito said shockingly: “Because, the one who proposed the Moon Eye Plan was Madara!”

“You said…what!?” Nagato looked shocked.

Obito’s right pupil narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to use his right eye to absorb himself, and suddenly Nagato sucked it in…

But Izanagi only had a dozen seconds left. If his surprise attack failed, he would become a complete clown.

Obito could no longer afford to lose, so he didn’t dare to play any tricks and just waited obediently for Nagato’s response.

Nagato was firm: “I don’t believe it! Madara is dead! There is no evidence at all!”

Obito said: “Madara is dead, but his eyes are still in you. This is the best proof!”

“…” Nagato raised his hand and stroked his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Obito said: “When I told you the truth about the eyes earlier, you also suddenly realized it, didn’t you?”

Nagato was shocked and said, “You mean, these eyes were secretly transplanted to me by Madara? Didn’t you get his eyes after he died and gave them to me in exchange?”

Obito said absurdly: “How is this possible! Your Samsara Eye was awakened during the Second Ninja World War, right? At that time, I was just a rookie who had just entered the Ninja School. How could I get Madara’s eyes! Do what you said!”

“That’s true.” Nagato slowly put down his hand, his face calmed down a lot. “I just couldn’t believe that someone like Madara, who lives in legends, would set his sights on a little kid like me. If you didn’t lie to me this time, it proves that there must be a lot of inside information involved…”

Seeing that Nagato’s attitude had softened, Obito felt relieved.

It seems I made the right bet.

But given Nagato’s past cunning, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is deliberately trying to curry favor with me in order to waste Izanami’s time.

Zi! Obito’s left eye closed completely, and Izanami reached the time limit.

He decided to give it a try.

“It’s a long story. My right leg is broken. It’s really tiring to stand on one leg and look up while talking. Can I use the power of my right eye to come to you?”

Nagato raised the Shura Sniper and said in a cold voice.

“No! If you suck yourself into your right eye and run away, where can I find you?”

Nagato’s words made Obito feel relieved: If Nagato really wanted to please me, he would definitely take advantage of me and kill me the moment I absorbed myself! It shows that he really cares about the authenticity of the Moon Eye Plan…

It seems that I have to make another plan, regain Nagato’s trust, and let him carry out the Moon Eye Plan…

The last time, the weapon I used to win Nagato’s trust was a lie, which was eventually exposed, leading to the situation we’re in today.

This time, I will focus on the word “sincerity”.

“Well, Nagato. I will tell you everything. It all started from the stone tablet passed down from the Six Paths Ninja Sect period at the Uchiha Nanga Shrine in Konoha.”

“Uchiha Madara was the first being to unlock the contents of the stone tablet and obtain the guidance of the Six Paths Sage’s oracle. The interaction between yin and yang can create all things in the universe. The combination of Senju and Uchiha will gain the supreme power of the ‘Rinnegan’. Madara decided to defect from Konoha from then on and planned the battle with the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, in the Valley of the End, which is well known to everyone.”

“But what is little known is that the battle was just a foreshadowing for Madara to escape from the world…”

Obito told Nagato in a low voice…

In the bunker of the Hidden Rain Village.

Xiaonan was shocked and angry when he heard this!

All along, she had learned about Obito’s identity and the origin of Nagato’s eyes through fragmented information she had collected from communicating with Nagato, Orochimaru and others, but she had never expected… there was such a cruel secret behind it!

Uchiha Obito was actually just a substitute used to carry out the “Moon Eye Project” after Madara’s death?

And the purpose of Madara giving Nagato the Samsara Eye was to use Nagato as a pawn to revive him? ?

This is simply unreasonable! ! !

Obito wanted to be beaten, he deserved it! Nagato was completely innocent, but he was also dragged into this century-old conspiracy and became a pawn!

If it weren’t for Nagato’s extreme intelligence, who could see the big picture from the small details! He had smelled the scent of conspiracy early on and made a second layout, it would be impossible to imagine what was waiting for him!

In the past, I felt that Nagato’s changes after Yahiko’s death were a little abrupt. It might not just be because of the stone hitting his head. Now I understand everything!

He was forced by these people! If he didn’t say goodbye to the past and strengthen his wings! How could he fight against such a dark and huge fate!

……

On the Eight-foot-Dragon. Nagato was very surprised.

He really didn’t expect that Obito actually told all of Madara’s plans…

It was just to prove to him that the ‘Moon Eye Project’ was indeed the will of the Six Paths Sage, conveyed through the stone tablet.

“Shh!”

Nagato jumped off the Yatagarasu and landed in front of Obito.

“You should understand. Even if the Moon Eye Project is true, I can’t become a pawn to revive Madara. It’s even more impossible after you tell the truth.”

Obito said calmly: “It doesn’t matter. Now that things have come to this, I am not afraid to tell you that although I volunteered to be Madara’s substitute, I am only loyal to the ‘Moon Eye Project’!”

“I have never thought about reviving Uchiha Madara. As long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi can be successfully activated, I don’t care about other things at all!”

“In this hopeless world, flowers will wither! Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi is the only way to save the world! Nagato, I believe that the unpleasant things that happened this year are all tests from God! So that we can truly understand each other and be honest with each other!”

“Let’s join forces! We are the strongest in the ninja world… As long as you and I join forces, we will surely be able to secure the Moon Eye Project!”

Looking at the hand that Obito extended with sincerity, Nagato lowered his eyes, unmoved.

Obito asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? I’ve said everything from my heart, but you still won’t believe me?”

Nagato said in a low voice: “I believe in you, and I am willing to join hands with you to promote the Moon Eye Project. However, the death of Yahiko and the death of my fellow Akatsuki members is an unforgettable pain in my heart, and it cannot be erased by a few words from you…”

Obito was exhausted: “Then what do you want me to do? I don’t have the Samsara Eye, I can’t reincarnate them!!!”

“The dead are gone, I won’t force it, but… Akatsuki is Yahiko’s hard work, I can’t let go.”

At this moment, Nagato’s tea art reached its peak.

——”Obito, you destroyed Akatsuki with your own hands, and you will rebuild it with your own hands. If you can do it, I will consider forgiving you…”

Chapter 170 One piece is left! “Exclusively titled by Sima Yi, who loves his female apprentice”

With absolute strength as a guarantee, Nagato successfully induced Obito to compromise.

Obito had no choice but to rebuild the Akatsuki organization.

But having learned from his mistakes, Obito did not agree immediately. He wanted Nagato to clearly state what the standard for “reconstruction” was.

He really didn’t want to be a sucker anymore, so he used the standards given by Nagato to see if Nagato was really willing to put aside his past grudges and cooperate with him on the Moon Eye Project.

Nagato also gave him the standards simply and clearly.

“Obito, including you as the ‘leader’, Akatsuki has ten defected ninjas with the strength of Hokage!”

Ten members with the strength of Hokage…

Obito frowned, but soon relaxed.

Although this standard is very high, it is not completely unattainable, but the problem is… what is ‘Hokage level strength’.

Obito asked: “Nagato, the Hokage-level strength you mentioned should not refer to a Hokage like Minato Namikaze, right?”

Nagato smiled and said, “Of course not. As long as one surpasses the level of an elite jonin and has a clear gap in strength, he can be considered as a Hokage in my standards.”

So that’s how it is. It’s quite standard.

Obito asked, “Also, can it only be defecting ninjas?”

He has the most advanced White Zetsu intelligence network in the ninja world, and thinks he knows the overall situation of the ninja world like the back of his hand.

Among the five major ninja villages, which ninjas are as powerful as the Kage or have the potential to become Kage-level ninjas, are currently in service or have defected? They are constantly on the lookout.

Therefore, he determined that collecting nine people from among the rebellious ninjas would be a huge and arduous task.

“If you can recruit the active Kage, or the candidates for Kage from each village, into Akatsuki, then I have no reason to refuse…”

Nagato didn’t make things difficult for him, and his implication was, ‘If you can do it, just give it a try.’

He thought to himself: Haha. It is impossible for Konan and I to join Akatsuki! Sasori, Kakuzu, and Orochimaru are all my lovers! Biwa Juzo has been killed by Sasori! Deidara and Hidan are still children! Itachi is also a child, and his fate this time may not be the same as in his previous life!

Except for Hoshigaki Kisame, the original members of Akatsuki! Almost all of them were sidelined! Even if there are other qualified candidates in the vast ninja world, there can’t be too many!

So… Obito, for a long time in the future, you can only expand the territory with your only confidant, Kisame!

No matter what method you use, to form the team I mentioned… it will take at least ten years!

If I add some obstacles, it won’t be a problem to delay it to twelfth or thirteenth year… It will give Feng enough time to develop!

Obito’s hands clenched.

He knew that rebuilding Akatsuki would take a lot of time…

But there was no room for refusal. “Okay. I will rebuild the Akatsuki organization according to your standards, just as an apology for Yahiko’s death and the deceased Akatsuki members…”

Nagato finally smiled, “The day Akatsuki is rebuilt will be the day you and I join forces to start the Moon Eye Project.”

Nagato smiled and said, “Before then, please keep the ‘Outer Path Golem’ safe. It is an important hardware guarantee for the implementation of the Moon Eye Project.”

Obito was shocked!

Nagato didn’t even ask me to release the Outer Path Demon Statue from time and space. Given the current situation, he could have asked me to do so in a tough manner, and I would have to cooperate with him even if I was unwilling!

Sure enough… he really wanted to realize the Moon Eye Project! He knew that it was difficult to forcibly seize and seal the tailed beasts from the five major ninja nations with his own force, so just as I needed him, he also needed me!
