Chapter 177: Madara and Nagato
Chapter 177 Madara and Nagato
The rainy forest was filled with the smell of burning flames, and the ground was turned into a pitch-black scorched earth due to the previous bombardment.
A large number of wood debris remained in place, which is the trace left after the wooden dungeon wooden man was attacked.
Kakashi appeared here, picking up some wood scraps in his hands. He could feel that these wood chips were different from ordinary trees and had extraordinary vitality.
Seriously put the debris on your hands into a transparent bag and collect them on the battlefield.
"What is the use of collecting these?"
Parker came to Kakashi's side and asked a little puzzled.
Kakashi glanced at Parker, and said to it: "It's just evidence to cover people's eyes. Take it back and hand it over to the Third Hokage to prove that I acted against the order and did not return without success, thereby reducing my sense of existence in this incident."
At that time, Konoha will definitely focus on these residues of Mutun.
"But punishment can't be avoided, right?"
Parker said so.
After all, Kakashi's operation this time, like Obito, acted without the order of his superiors.
If there is no corresponding punishment on Konoha, it is a bit unreasonable.
Kakashi sighed quietly and said: "This is exactly what I want. My father gave up the mission because of rescuing his companions, and then committed suicide. This is the unanimous opinion of the high-level people. What I have to do now is the same choice, to prove that I have been successfully transformed under the guidance of Minato-sensei. In this way, they can use this incident to manipulate me to a certain extent, and better hold this weapon in their hands. Then they will rest assured to me. In their hands."
Therefore, what are some trivial punishments?
Because, this is just an illusion that I want to make Konoha's senior management feel.
Everything is moving towards the result he wants.
"...You are really scary, Kakashi."
"If I have no shortcomings, keeping a distance from anyone is the biggest flaw. Doing some unexpected and reasonable things properly will reduce their doubts. The important thing is to give them the illusion that they can completely control me and that I am the perfect weapon in their hands. This is just the most basic lesson for an espionage officer."
"That is to say, Obito and Lin are also the objects you use?"
Parker looked directly into Kakashi's eyes.
Kakashi avoided Parker's sight, and after being silent for a while, he whispered:
"The fetters are the most ridiculous thing. Everything I do is just a disguise. Naive fools like them can only be used as objects for me to use. The only value of their existence is this. What my father wants to take is not the same path as what I am going to take now."
After speaking, Kakashi turned and left, his thin body disappeared into the wind and rain.
Parker sighed lightly.
Really, it's still the same as before, not very frank.
After all, if you don't really care, no matter how you pretend, you will show your flaws sooner or later. There is no way to let nature take its course like this.
If you just want to be a small person who is transparent and does not attract the attention of high-level people, simple camouflage is naturally acceptable.
But if you want to touch the core layer of Konoha, you must accept the so-called fetters in Konoha and give your true feelings.
Therefore, Parker felt that Kakashi was a terrible person.
Whether it is the talent as a ninja, or the kung fu performance as a spy.
They all put 100% of their emotions and energy into it, and they can accurately grasp the difference between the two, and make the best choice that suits them as a spy.
If one day you face Konoha, you can hurt your companion with sincere feelings and without any malice.
Limbs moved, Parker went up to catch up with Kakashi's footsteps, and disappeared together.

Pain sweeps over, especially in the back.
It seemed to be burning with fire all the time.
In such pain, Nagato woke up from his unconscious consciousness.
The surrounding light seemed very dark, Samsara looked at this strange environment, and Nagato tried his best to think about the things before he fell into a coma.
—Everyone in Akatsuki was killed, Yahiko was also killed, and everyone turned into cold, speechless corpses.
The person who made the attack came from the same ninja village—Konoha—as his once most beloved teacher Jiraiya.
After that, in order to save Xiaonan, the entire back of his body was injured by the detonating talisman. The burning sensation coming from behind him now is probably because of this reason.
Then he psychically created a heretic golem, devouring the soul of the Konoha ninja who killed Akatsuki, leaving no one left.
Finally, a dark guy emerged from the ground and appeared in front of him. Because of his serious injuries, he couldn't hold on and passed out.
Recalling everything that happened before he fell into a coma, Nagato panted heavily, exuding a gloomy and terrifying aura from his body, and finally calmed down.
There was a sound of walking in the darkness, someone was approaching.
Nagato raised his head, panted and asked in a low voice:
"Is it Xiaonan?"
Nobody answered.
The sound of walking in the darkness approached, and Nagato couldn't help but tense up, showing a look of vigilance.
The steps and sounds of walking were not made by Xiao Nan.
Then, a slightly hunched body slowly came out of the darkness, holding a candle in his hand, his long pale hair fell loose from his head, and his muddy red sharing eyes stared at Nagato.
This person is Madara.
However, he didn't sit on the wooden chair he usually made and used the power of the sacred tree to maintain his life activities.
Although his body was haggard, he stood on the ground with his own strength and came to Nagato.
He opened his mouth and said to Nagato: "If you are calling that little girl with blue hair, she is sleeping in the inner room, and I didn't do anything to her."
Nagato opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He saw the Sharingan that Madara showed, and immediately tensed up, and immediately gathered chakras, trying to release some ninjutsu.
Sharingan is a blood succession limit unique to the Konoha Uchiha clan.
"I advise you not to move now. Your health is very bad now, and ordinary medical ninjutsu cannot cure you. Moreover, I am not your enemy. I am just like you, a sad person who is struggling to find peace."
Madara's voice is not loud, but it has a deceptive magic power.
Nagato fell silent, and asked after a while: "Who are you?"
"Uchiha's undead... Uchiha Madara."
Hearing Madara's words, Nagato's eyes widened in shock.
Madara... Uchiha Madara?
What is this person talking about?
Isn't Madara a legendary ninja who died decades ago?
And already died at the hands of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
"Are you kidding me?"
Nagato had an angry look on his face.
Madara held a candle with a faint candlelight in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "I didn't play tricks on you. I did lose to Senju Hashirama back then, but that was a carefully calculated plan by me. In order to get stronger power, I had to do it as a last resort."
"Stronger power?"
Nagato subconsciously spoke.
"It's your reincarnation eyes."
Madara's flat tone sounded.
"..." Nagato who was sitting there was stunned, his mouth was wide open, and it took a long time to close it, then sighed with a headache and said, "Is there any good in lying to a guy like me? Or, do you think I really won't kill you?"
Nagato's reincarnation eyes released a cold murderous aura.
Madara ignored Nagato's killing intent, and still replied slowly: "If you are really the original owner of the reincarnation eye, then why do you have various discomforts when using the reincarnation eye. For example, the heretic golem."
"you!"
Nagato's expression changed slightly.
Blade is telling the truth. Although he has the eyes of reincarnation, the control of these eyes is not as easy as imagined.
Because every time he uses the pupil technique of the reincarnation eye, he needs to consume far more chakra than the technique itself.
But it is a bit far-fetched to prove that the Samsara Eye is not his property with this statement.
However, if what Madara said is true, doubts immediately arose in Nagato's heart.
"If the eyes of reincarnation belong to you, why do you use such precious eyes on me?"
"Don't you understand me when you see me like this? Compared with your young body, the reincarnation eye is more taxing on my body. You have the physique of the Uzumaki family, so you can withstand the side effects of the reincarnation eye power to a certain extent."
Madara replied.
Madara's explanation is still difficult to convince Nagato.
"And it's not for free, I hope to achieve one thing for me, that is my reward for you."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Unlimited monthly reading."
Blade calmly spit out these four words.
"Unlimited monthly reading? What is that?"
"I said it before, I am just like you, a sad person who is struggling to find peace."
Madara said this, with a rare look of sadness on his face, as if he was lamenting something.
"What does this have to do with the unlimited monthly reading you said?"
"It's an ultimate illusion, which can make people in the whole world fall into the illusion. There, you can create the world you want according to your own ideas. It is also the only way to achieve eternal peace in the world."
Blade is persuasive and seductive.
Nagato couldn't help but fantasize about such a world.
Pull everyone in the world into the illusion, and then create the scene you want, then peace is at your fingertips.
Everyone in Yahiko and Akatsuki, including the Land of Rain, and people all over the world, will find happiness there and live a carefree and happy life.
Seeing that Nagato has moved, Madara continued: "Before then, you need to collect the nine-headed and tailed beasts scattered around the world, and lock these little beasts into the golems of the heretics, so that you can awaken this power to change the history of the world."
"It's not going to be easy."
Nagato woke up from the beautiful fantasy, took a long breath, and looked at Madara seriously.
"I know it's not easy. The power of the five major countries is not something that you can compete with now. After going through so many things, you have already seen the true face of this world. Whether it is you, me, or those people outside, they are all living in a hopeless hell. Only Unlimited Monthly Reading can change all this."
Nagato clenched his fists, a chill suddenly rose in his heart, he stared at Madara's Sharingan, and asked word by word:
"May I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"If my pair of reincarnation eyes belong to you...then you planned my appearance here?"
"Do you want to take revenge on me? Give it up, I'm already waiting to die, even if you kill me now, you won't get anything, but you will lose the opportunity to continue to grow stronger."
Madara admits in disguise that he has manipulated the history of the Kingdom of Rain to a certain extent.
"I'd really like to see if I can kill you."
Nagato raised the doorknob and pointed it at Madara's body.
As long as he wants, he can kill the old man in front of him at any time.
Madara stared at Nagato's palm indifferently, her expression still calm and terrifying.
He ignored Nagato's palm that was about to launch ninjutsu, took the candle and walked to the other side, put the candle on the ground, straightened up and looked at Nagato again, just staring at Nagato calmly, without any expression change.
Nagato also looked at Madara, and at this moment nervous sweat dripped down subconsciously on his face.
I don't know why, but he feels like a frog being targeted by a snake. If he attacks Madara now, his life will end in an instant.
The pressure of death has never been so clear for a moment.
Obviously gathered ninjutsu, and made up his mind to release ninjutsu to attack Madara, but why didn't ninjutsu come out?
Not being controlled by Madara, but because the strength gap between the two sides is too large, even his own instincts are preventing him from making a move.
Am I an idiot for doing something like this? Nagato couldn't imagine how strong Madara was.
"Killing me is meaningless. You can live until now and protect those Xiao people, don't you rely on the strength I gave you? In a sense, you are also the very lucky one."
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me, I won't be controlled by your will!"
Nagato retorted fiercely, and then gasped for breath, as if saying those words drained all the strength in his body.
"This is the truth. You are in a mess, calm down, I am just an old man who has no power to resist."
No power to resist?
Feeling the breath of death hanging over him, the other party can kill him at any time, Nagato dare not underestimate the seemingly harmless old man in front of him.
I also kind of believe in my reincarnation eyes, it is really Madara's property.
"...what the **** are you trying to do?"
Nagato tried his best to calm down his heart.
"I've said it before. I just want you to fully understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of this real world. The longer you live, the more you will realize this truth. In this world, love will be plundered sooner or later. In the end, only numbness, pain, frustration, remorse, and loneliness can be experienced... No matter who you are, you cannot escape this fate."
The flame of the candle flickered, reflecting Nagato's silent face.
"For these years, you and your companions have established Akatsuki, wanting to end the war through peace talks and bring peace to the Land of Rain. However, the reality still gave you the most ruthless sword. The oppression of Sand Hidden and the betrayal of Konoha let you understand that this road to bring peace through peace talks is simply not feasible. The road to peace that you believed in before is fundamentally wrong."
Nagato still didn't speak, but Madara knew he was listening carefully.
Everything he said is an irrefutable fact.
"Therefore, in this ninja world, there is no solution that seeks fairness and justice. The winner dominates everything, and the loser loses everything. This is the **** true face of the ninja world."
"So, you escaped from the hands of Senshou Zhujian decades ago by feigning death, just to plan your so-called infinite monthly reading, and want to completely end the pain of reality?"
Nagato took a deep breath, completely understanding Madara's thoughts.
The longer you live, the more you experience and see.
Madara must have been a loving person in the past too.
But the love in my heart eventually lost to reality as time went by.
Now all that remains in Madara's chest is pure numbness and pain.
The only result of escaping from reality is that only the magic world of Infinite Moon Reading can save his heart.
"That's right. I want to change this turbid world and cut off the inevitable cause and effect between winners and losers. Unlimited monthly reading is the best solution. I will create a peaceful world where there are no losers, everyone is a winner, and they can live happily."
Madara's voice was not loud, but his words were full of firmness, and a powerful deterrent naturally formed on his body, making people have to believe his words.
So, Madara extended an invitation to Nagato, with sincere feelings in his tone.
"Nagato, I hope you can assist me and act according to my will. My body is about to fail. You are the only one who can inherit my will and become the savior of this ninja world."
Nagato was speechless for a moment, then spoke, following his heart, not following Madara’s will:
"Although what you said is very good, I refuse."
Nagato's answer did not make Madara feel angry, but looked at Nagato with interest.
"Can you tell me why you refused?"
He thought that Nagato would act according to his will because he was desperate for reality, but he didn't expect him to have other ideas.
Although time is tight, he still has time to chat for a while.
"Yahiko and the others are already dead. Even if they are resurrected in the illusion world, they will not be able to change the fact that they are dead. The infinite Tsukiyomi world you mentioned is a denial of their existence. I no longer agree with what Akatsuki did in the past, but it doesn't mean that I will blaspheme their will."
Nagato's face finally regained a little calmness.
It is true that Madara's infinite monthly reading world is indeed a beautiful world that people yearn for.
Everything can be changed according to your own ideas.
However, no matter how beautiful it was, it was just a dreamlike fantasy.
His dream has woken up.
At the moment when Hanzo went to die.
The moment he saw Yahiko and Akatsuki's destruction.
After he realized that he was in hell, tearing apart the hypocrisy that mutual understanding between people can bring peace...
Woke up from the dream.
He no longer wants to dream, no matter how sweet the dream, how happy the dream, how beautiful the dream, it is not what he wants now.
What he wants is to change this living **** of reality. Instead of Yahiko, Hanzo, and Rain Country, use your own method to blaze a new, sustainable path of peace.
Instead of relying on the dream world of unlimited monthly reading, to complete all this.
Otherwise, it would be a complete denial of one's own past, the reality of human beings and history.
Even his own actions are meaningless and extremely ridiculous.
This is Nagato's determination.
Madara also felt the firm determination of Nagato.
There is no doubt that Nagato rejected his will.
Their wills are not compatible, and it is impossible to blend together.
"That is to say, even if this ninja world makes you bruised and bruised, you still have to drag your bruised body and persist in walking, do you have extravagant hopes for boring reality?"
Blade's face showed no joy or sorrow.
"Yes. If you don't, it's all worthless."
"If you continue to insist on this approach, there will be more pain in the future."
"If suffering is an inevitable part of my life, then suffering is also meaningful. Madara, you better not underestimate human beings!"
Nagato's determined words made Madara sigh.
"Do you really think so?"
Madara took a deep look at Nagato, as if she wanted to see through Nagato's true thoughts.
"...yes, I think so."
Nagato didn't dodge his eyes.
"The probability of failure is too great."
"Even if I fail one day in the future, it's the same. Don't try to use your will to control me. Guys who escape from reality, don't try to confuse people here."
Human beings can only truly grow up when they experience pain.
And no matter how painful it is, you still have to hold your chest up, grit your teeth, and move forward with the burden of grief.
Take tribulation as a tool to sharpen your minions, make yourself stronger, and not be defeated by any reality in the end.
This is Nagato's choice.
is also Akatsuki's will.
Madara laughed.
then laughed.
Laughing, shoulders shrugging non-stop.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Even though the wrinkled old face was wrinkled and ugly from laughing wildly, Madara still couldn't stop laughing.
The laughter lasted for a long time before it slowly stopped.
"why are you laughing?"
Nagato thought that there was something wrong with Madara's brain.
"No, no, no, you are really beyond my expectations, Nagato. I didn't expect you to be such an interesting existence. I really want to see what it looks like when you fail. It must be a moment that can please me."
"If you want to kill me, you'd better do it now, or I will definitely kill you. You won't see me fail."
Nagato looked at Madara nervously.
Madara's thoughts are too dangerous, so dangerous that he can't help but want to kill him.
Letting this kind of guy exist is a disaster for himself and the ninja world.
"Why do you think that I will kill you? Just because you rejected me, I must kill you? There is actually no necessary causal connection between the two."
Madara looked at Nagato with a smile.
Madara's words made Nagato frown and looked at him incomprehensibly.
"What I said is true, Nagato. Before you came, I didn't think that you would veto my will. Because in my opinion, the infinite monthly reading is the most suitable way for you who have experienced a lot of pain in reality. But since you have other ideas, let's treat it as a whim. I want to see where you can go in the end."
Madara smiled.
"What?"
"You just said that the pain of reality has meaning. From now on, the Eye of Reincarnation is something that really belongs to you."
"My stuff?"
Nagato covered his eyes and muttered to himself.
"That's right. Before you fail, I will not interfere with your actions. But...if you fail, I will use my way to cut off the cause and effect of the world."
The smile on Madara's face disappeared completely, staring at Nagato's reincarnation eyes, the eyeballs were deeply sunken in the eye sockets, and the dry and cracked lips opened to speak meaningful words.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the ground beside him.
"Heijue."
Heijue's figure emerged from the ground, with a respectful attitude and a hoarse voice:
"Master Madara."
"This is equivalent to my half body. From today on, he will always follow you, and you can control it as you like. Time is running out, and he will explain to you the remaining doubts."
Madara pointed to Hei Ze, and said to Nagato.
After speaking, Madara turned and walked into the darkness.
"where are you going?"
"Go and deal with the three little mice that came here."
Madara's calm words sounded, and her body completely merged into the darkness and disappeared.
After Madara left, Heijue looked at Nagato, and said respectfully: "Master Nagato, from now on, I will exist as your subordinate. Moreover, I will not betray you until you fail. My power will be used by you."
"I can understand that if I fail, you will take action?"
"This is Madara-sama's will. Please come with me, and I will help you transplant the cells from the first generation of Hokage Senjujuma, so that your strength can grow further. I will tell you everything about the eyes of reincarnation and the tailed beast. No matter what you do next, power is an indispensable thing. Only the will of the strong can illuminate the whole world."
The flames of the candles were naturally extinguished, and the darkness swallowed up the figures of Nagato and Kuroze.
