Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Nagato listened to Obito's heartfelt words and for a moment he actually wanted to believe Obito.

Not for any other reason, but because he is so sincere!

But Nagato still did not forget Konan's instructions, and his emotion almost made him blurt out and directly agree to Obito. However, when he thought of the information that Konan had obtained on the battlefield at the risk of her life, he immediately handed it to him.

He even specifically reminded himself at the end to wait for her to come back before making a decision.

Just like that, Nagato remained silent for a long time again, and his brain began to quickly digest the information that Konan gave him and Obito's previous remarks.

After comparing the two, he still found some clues and looked at Obito expressionlessly.

"Even if what you said is true, then why can't my Rinnegan be closed?"

"As far as I know, my current symptoms are the same as those of a foreigner who has had a Sharingan transplanted."

"The Rinnegan that cannot be closed is consuming my chakra all the time."

"Obviously, it couldn't be my own eyes."

Nagato found the loophole in Obito's words and asked back.

Obito wasn't at all surprised by Nagato's question.

Because this was part of his plan! He did not repeat the words that Black Zetsu taught him completely, but instead skillfully processed them artistically.

Because after Madara was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Nagato's heart, where there was a curse seal that could control Nagato's life and death.

Although the fluctuation in the heart was extremely small, it still made him suspicious. Therefore, after leaving the secret base where he and Black Zetsu trained White Zetsu, he tried to pierce his own heart with a ninja tool.

As expected, he simply couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried, the moment the kunai got close to his chest, he could no longer move forward even half a millimeter. He could only feel the coldness of the tip of the kunai touching his chest.

It seems that I am just a pawn in Madara's plan...

So he made a decisive decision to use Black Zetsu's rhetoric and his own sincere words to try to impress Nagato, the once naive guy.

As for the blame, just put it all on Madara and Black Zetsu.

Obito shook his head and gave his own answer.

"I don't know, your Rinnegan may have been transplanted to you by Madara when you were young."

"But it is also possible that it is caused by the defective bloodline, which makes you naturally unable to close the Sharingan."

"Because the Uchiha clan also has a similar defect, those who awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan must transplant the Mangekyō Sharingan of their brothers or sisters in order to obtain the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Otherwise you will eventually go blind. Your Rinnegan just can't be closed. I can't give you an answer."

Nagato got an unexpected answer, but because of the unexpectedness of the answer, Nagato believed it even more.

Because he knew very well that any power has its price. How could a legendary eye like the Rinnegan be without any burden?

Even the most ordinary ninja needs to go through painful training and hardships if they want to become stronger.

And Obito's answer completely fits Nagato's inner definition of "pain"!

Only those who have experienced pain can become stronger!

At this moment, Obito also saw Nagato's inner hesitation and decided to press on to gain Nagato's trust directly!

"I can tell you one more piece of information, but you must keep it secret and not let anyone else know, not even Xiaonan."

Nagato hesitated only for a moment this time, but finally agreed and nodded.

"Once there was an innocent child who had two good friends, but fate cruelly made his two friends leave him."

"When he wanted to embark on the path that ordinary people feared, he found that he couldn't do it no matter what..."

"That's all I can say... Because we've all been through pain, and you should understand how it feels."

Obito's sad eyes and heavy words made Nagato recall the scene where Hanzo forced Yahiko to commit suicide.

In my mind, I silently repeated the fable-like, fairy tale-like story that Obito had just told me.

If Yahiko and Konan had died, I might have become like the child in the story.

But he will first kill Hanzo to avenge the two of them, and then commit suicide...!

Wait! I can’t do it no matter what!?

Nagato suddenly widened his eyes and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chest.

Obito nodded silently.

"Is that so?"

"I understand. I will keep this a secret from Xiaonan."

Even if Obito didn't say it, Nagato would never let Konan know that Uchiha Madara had tampered with her heart.

As for what Konan said, the deaths of Yahiko, Daibutsu and others might have been related to Obito, so what?

It was obvious that Obito was just a pawn calculated by Uchiha Madara, just like himself.

What's more, it may not be related?

Nagato didn't realize at the moment that Obito's emotionally resonant speech had silently shaken his heart, and he had begun to try to trust him.

If Qianye was here, he would definitely exclaim, "Fuck you! Mouth-to-mouth! You actually stole Naruto's skills!?"

Finally, Nagato agreed to Obito's proposal, and the two of them silently formed a united front.

Nagato decided that in the future, after successfully collecting all the tailed beasts and summoning the Ten Tails, he would use violent means to restore peace to the ninja world and help the poor man Obito to fulfill his wish of living alone in his dream.

And Obito finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Apart from the words that Black Zetsu told him, he didn't tell a single lie. He pieced it all together, and every word was an expression of his true feelings.

It’s just that one or two key sentences are missing in the middle, but those missing parts are the truly important information!

For example: He only heard Madara say that he transplanted the Sharingan to Nagato, but he did not see the process with his own eyes, so it cannot be considered as deceiving Nagato. After all, he really could not be 100% sure.

And he really wanted to live in such a beautiful dream, but he also wanted to drag the entire ninja world into such a beautiful dream, because... this desperate ninja world has no value and meaning of existence!

He just omitted some of the words...

Afterwards, Obito left the tower, leaving Nagato alone again.

Nagato looked at the bodies of Tennindo Pain and Yahiko, and said a lot to him alone.

Finally, he pulled out a scroll from the right drawer of the wheelchair, wrote a few short messages on it, and used reverse telepathy to transmit it to Xiaonan.
