"Then, next up is the real leader of the Akatsuki, Nagato."

An arrow pointed to where Nagato should be. "Let's go, Hinata."

"Ah."

"Wait..." Nailed to the ground, Konan wanted to stop the two from looking for Nagato. She knew very well the strength of these two people, and Nagato was definitely no match for them. But now she was also powerless, and she needed help from others to stand up again.

Naruto and the other man ignored Konan and continued walking towards Nagato.

Until the two walked away, Xiaonan was still trapped in the same place, "Nagato..."

It was unknown how long it had passed before the people from the Hidden Rain Village came here after the noise at the scene had completely disappeared. They looked here for a while before they found their angel. Finally, with their help, Konan was able to get out of her incapable state. Konan, who had just regained her ability to move, used the Shikigami Dance to quickly reach Nagato's position.

As for Naruto and the others, they had already arrived at Nagato's side. Naruto walked in alone. Hinata had no interest in going in, so she prepared to stay outside to prevent anyone from entering.

"What's wrong with you?" Naruto saw that Nagato was a skinny red-haired man, with his lower body in a wheelchair and many chakra black sticks stuck in his back. His eyes were empty and there were some injuries on his body. It seemed that a battle had taken place in his body not long ago.

"Are you? Nine-Tails?" Nagato resisted the discomfort in his body and stood up again. "Something just happened here. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"I remember you have the Rinnegan, what's wrong with your eyes now?" Naruto was a little curious why Nagato's eyes had disappeared.

"Hmph, it was Madara who betrayed me. I originally thought that the legendary Shura of the ninja world would not do such a thing, but I didn't expect him to sneak attack me and take away my Rinnegan." Nagato said with some resentment.

"Madara? Oh, it's Obito." Naruto was a little confused when he first heard Madara's name. He remembered hearing from Sasuke that he would appear three years later. Then he remembered that there was another person who used Madara's name before he was exposed, Uchiha Obito.

"Obito? Who is that? Is that Madara's real name?" Nagato asked.

"It should be said that Madara is dead now, but this is normal. After all, he is over a hundred years old. Even if he is not dead, he probably can't do anything big." Naruto explained to Nagato, "Obito, full name Uchiha Obito is the successor of Madara. He is Madara's pawn, and now he is still under Madara's control."

"So it's not a lie to say he's Madara."

"How do you know so much? Who are you?" Nagato questioned Naruto.

"Well, let me be frank. I met people from the future not long ago. They told me about the future, including this. The Akatsuki organization finally succeeded in resurrecting the Ten-Tails."

"Wait, the Ten-Tails? What are you talking about?" Nagato suddenly asked, "I don't remember our goal was to revive the Ten-Tails."

"Oh, I forgot you don't know anything yet, so let's talk about the Ten-Tails." Naruto slapped his forehead and said, "The Ten-Tails is what the Outer Path Demon Statue and the nine tailed beasts form. It is the truth of everything. The legendary Six Paths Sage is the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails."

"Ten-Tails Jinchuriki! Then the Ten-Tails is indeed what I am after. With the Ten-Tails, I can surely bring equal suffering to all nations, and then true peace will come."

"Wait, listen to me first, I haven't finished yet." Naruto looked at Nagato who was falling into self-fanaticism again, he was really speechless now.

Naruto saw that Nagato had calmed down before continuing, "After the Ten-Tails was resurrected, Obito became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. He was going to plunge the entire world into the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"I know I need to explain. Infinite Tsukuyomi is an ability that can trap everyone in the world in an illusion. Everyone will die in their sleep. As for you, you were already dead at that time, and your Samsara Eye was taken away."

When Nagato heard that he was dead, he was not surprised. He seemed to realize that without so much information, he would definitely not be able to defeat Obito.

"The ninja world also realized their conspiracy, so they united and finally successfully dealt with Obito, and the Ten-Tails was separated again."

"The real Uchiha Madara was resurrected after that. He became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki again with his strong strength and gave the world infinite Tsukuyomi. I know you want to ask why Uchiha Madara was resurrected. Think about it."

"Outer Path: The Art of the Rinnegan. But why does he know the ability of the Rinnegan?" Nagato asked solemnly.

"You should have thought of it yourself, so tell me."

"He also has the Rinnegan, or rather, my Rinnegan is not his own." Nagato's tone was a little depressed.

"It seems that you have also noticed this, but it's normal. You are a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. At most, you have a high amount of chakra. You don't even have the conditions for the birth of the Samsara Eye. The prerequisite for the birth of the Samsara Eye is the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which means my Samsara Eye is Uchiha Madara's."

"Indeed, Uchiha Madara used the Wood Release Cells of the First Hokage and combined them with his own Eternal Mangekyō, and finally the Rinnegan was born."

"So, Uchiha Madara has the Rinnegan, why doesn't he catch the tailed beast himself?"

"He spent too much time on it. By the time he had the Rinnegan, he was too old to have the energy."

"okay, I get it."

"There's nothing else. There's no need for you to know what happens after that." Naruto felt that he had finished saying everything. He originally thought that Obito would appear to protect Nagato, but he didn't expect that guy to just take away the Rinnegan and run away. He was indeed just a coward.

"What do you think peace is and how can we achieve true peace?" Nagato suddenly spoke up.

"Are you asking me?" Naruto asked confusedly.

"Yes, I think you who know the future can definitely give me a good answer. No, the path to true peace may only be achieved by you."

"Then let me be frank, true peace does not exist." Naruto said as a matter of course without any fluctuation in his tone.

"What..." Nagato was shocked by Naruto's words, "Why can you assert that peace does not exist? Tell me!"

“Peace is relative. There is no peace without war. War is caused by disputes among people. Disputes are inevitable, and wars are also unstoppable.”
