Chapter 065.2: The Masked Man is Obito? Obito's Public Humiliation!

[Tsunade: Minato's reasoning is sound. One of the Akatsuki members is indeed Obito, and it's almost certain that the masked man is also Obito. Previously, we hesitated to suspect him because it was hard to believe. After all, Kushina was like a mother to him, one of the people who treated him the best. We couldn't imagine he would harm Kushina, but now...]

[Kakashi: @Obito, was it you, the masked man responsible for the deaths of Sensei and his wife?]

[Uchiha Obito: Yes, it was. So what?]

[Kakashi: Sensei's wife treated you so well. Why would you do such a thing? Konoha never wronged you, so why?]

[Obito Uchiha: Hahaha, why? Kakashi, what right do you have to question me? I asked you to take care of Rin, and what happened? Rin died, and she died at your hands. You tell me why.]

[Rin Nohara: Obito, I died for Konoha. I didn't want to be controlled and used to attack Konoha, causing it disaster! That's why I asked Kakashi to kill me. Kakashi didn't want to do it, so I threw myself into his Chidori while he was fighting and died by suicide! You can't blame Kakashi for this.]

[Obito Uchiha: Hahaha, for Konoha, huh? Yes, all for Konoha. So you died, and those people in Konoha lived. Why do they deserve to live? Why did you have to die for them? Kakashi didn't protect you; he's just trash! And Minato-sensei, you didn't protect Rin either. I hate this world. I hate everything.]

[Fourth Raikage: What a dramatic show! Who would've thought that the real culprit behind Minato Namikaze's death was his own student! If Minato had lived till now, his power would've been terrifying!]

[Tsunade: Obito, you killed your master's wife and caused your master's death. You're nothing but a beast!]

[Jiraiya: So it was you, Obito Uchiha, who was behind the Nine-Tails incident!]

[Hashirama Senju: Damn it, it's true, the Uchiha clan's thinking is just twisted. Rin died to protect Konoha, and you hate everyone, retaliate against your master and Konoha? You're worse than a traitor! You're a beast! If I were alive, I'd crush you right now!]

[Hashirama Senju: This guy is too treacherous. To think he hid his true intentions for so long. Madara, you really trained a fine disciple!]

[Madara Uchiha: This has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything.]

At this moment, Madara Uchiha naturally wouldn't admit to anything. Even if they had figured out the truth, he wouldn't admit it.

[Hashirama Senju: Madara, stop denying it. You're the mastermind behind this!]

[Third Tsuchikage: The Akatsuki organization is truly full of talents. Itachi Uchiha killed his parents and his entire clan, Obito Uchiha killed his teacher and his teacher's wife. Oh, and there's Sasori of the Red Sand, who wanted to kill his own grandmother, although he ultimately failed. Kakuzu was also a rogue ninja, and Orochimaru, who killed his teacher, was once part of the Akatsuki. It's confirmed; everyone in Akatsuki is a beast!]

[Hidan: Old man Tsuchikage, how dare you insult the Akatsuki? Just wait, one day, you'll die by my hands!]

[Rin Nohara: Please, stop cursing Obito. He became like this all because of me!]

Seeing this message, Obito felt a warmth in his heart. At least Rin didn't curse him, and that was enough for him. As for everyone else's insults, he couldn't care less!

Many people insulted Obito, but after a flurry of messages, no one continued to criticize him. After all, there was no point, and besides, the 14th-ranked dōjutsu on the list was announced.

[14th on the Dōjutsu List: Madara Uchiha, possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, capable of observation, copying, hypnosis, and using the Complete Susanoo]

[Hashirama Senju: Madara, don't you have the Rinnegan? In the future, when you're reincarnated, you clearly have the Rinnegan, so why is it showing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan now?]

[Fourth Raikage: It is indeed strange. The Golden List doesn't lie, so this proves Madara does have the Rinnegan, but now it shows the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which means Madara no longer has the Rinnegan!]

[Shikaku Nara: It's not that he no longer has it; it's definitely in someone else's possession. If those eyes were destroyed, they'd belong to Madara. But if they were transplanted into someone else, those Rinnegan would belong to them, not Madara, unless Madara takes them back.]

[Tsunade: Hanzo once said that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, and Nagato is the leader of the Akatsuki. So, does Nagato have Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan?]

[Jiraiya: Tsunade's guess might be correct. Nagato was my student, and he possesses the Rinnegan, which I always found strange. The Rinnegan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. Although Nagato is from the Uzumaki clan and has the Sage's bloodline, it shouldn't be possible for him to awaken the Rinnegan. The Rinnegan is not something that can easily be awakened. But if it were Madara, then it makes sense. Madara originally had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, so it's possible that under certain circumstances, he awakened the Rinnegan. And surely, before his death, Madara wouldn't just abandon his Rinnegan; the most likely scenario is that he transplanted it into someone else, and that someone is my former student, Nagato!]

Amegakure.

Nagato and Konan watched the livestream with complex expressions.

"Nagato, what do you think of their speculation?" Konan asked.

Nagato frowned and said, "I've always wondered why I awakened the Rinnegan, as nothing like this has ever happened in history. And based on what I know, even the Sage of Six Paths' two sons didn't have the Rinnegan. So why would I, a descendant, have it? From the future images, it's clear that Madara possesses the Rinnegan, but he doesn't have it now, meaning it no longer belongs to him. Given that, it's highly likely that my Rinnegan did originally belong to Madara!"

"Why would Madara give you the Rinnegan, Nagato?" Konan asked curiously.

"For resurrection!" Nagato speculated, "The Rinnegan has the power to resurrect the dead. Maybe Madara wants me to resurrect him in the future?"

"In his dreams! We'd never resurrect him! Using the Rinnegan to resurrect him would cost you your life! Unless someone has an extremely powerful life force, it's impossible to survive that. But with so many life-extending or life-saving items appearing on the Golden List, it might actually be possible to resurrect someone without dying!" Konan said.

"I certainly won't resurrect Madara. Although my body has recovered, and my strength is gradually increasing, if Madara is reincarnated in the future, I might indeed have the chance to resurrect him. But I won't do it," Nagato said.

"We must be cautious of Madara, Nagato. Although we're working with Obito, we can't let them fool us!" Konan warned.

"I know!" Nagato nodded, "Obito and I currently have the same plan. We're cooperating and using each other, but if he thinks he can control me, he's dreaming!"

In the Pure Land.

Madara Uchiha muttered, "They've almost figured it out. Nagato probably suspects that his Rinnegan came from me, but he won't turn against Obito, nor will he disband the Akatsuki. He also won't give up on the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. Whether it's Nagato or Obito, they both probably only appear to be cooperating with me. They don't fully trust each other. They both want to be the ones to control everything, to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki themselves, to personally cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and become the rulers of the world. Heh, but Black Zetsu and White Zetsu are both under my control. Obito will have to reincarnate me. Once I'm reincarnated, resurrection will be no problem!"

Without Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, Obito might indeed refuse to resurrect him. But Obito's body was half made from Hashirama's cells, and the White Zetsu he left behind had also fused with Obito. So right now, Obito wouldn't dare betray him.

"Even if it's exposed, it won't have much of an impact. I'll still be resurrected, and if I'm lucky, I might even obtain a resurrection item directly from the Golden List, so I won't need anyone's help!"

Madara Uchiha thought to himself.

[Hashirama Senju: Madara isn't saying anything. It seems he can't explain it, so this guess must be true. Madara Uchiha is really cunning. He's hidden too deeply, and we don't know how many plans he has in place.]

[Uchiha Madara: You think I'm hiding deeply, but isn't the one really hiding deeply that guy, Ye Tian? At least you don't understand me very well, but you don't know him at all, do you?]

Right now, Uchiha Madara just wanted to shift the focus onto Ye Tian to reduce the attention on himself.

Sure enough, attention turned to Ye Tian!

[Hashirama Senju: Ye Tian, huh? This person is indeed very mysterious. Even now, we don't know his true identity.]

[Tsunade: Although Ye Tian is mysterious, at least for now, he hasn't done anything to harm the Five Great Shinobi Villages. But Uchiha Madara is different!]

[Jiraiya: That's right. If Ye Tian, like the Three Great Sage Lands, remains aloof from worldly affairs, then it doesn't matter.]

[Fourth Raikage: Ye Tian should be watched, but Uchiha Madara also needs to be watched. The one behind the Akatsuki is definitely Uchiha Madara!]

[Gaara: Nagato also needs to be taken seriously. This guy possesses Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan and might even be stronger than Uchiha Madara!]

At this moment, the thirteenth place on the Dōjutsu Ranking was announced!
