The Puppet Master

After a brief moment, Konan returned with supplies, carrying a Kabuto item due to the perpetual rain in Amegakure. She prepared tea in front of Naruto, an act that served both as a practical offering and a subtle display of trust—an assurance that the tea wasn't poisoned.

Konan also brought some dry food, and though Naruto couldn't help but question the potential for poisoning in the provisions, he refrained from expressing his doubts. Hunger prevailed, and he indulged in the damp, dry food, washed down with a sip of hot tea. However, his haste led to a comical moment as he spat out the hot tea, drawing amused glances from Konan and Nagato. Fortunately for Naruto, they were unaware of his actual age, perceiving him to be around fifteen or sixteen.

Recovering from the embarrassing incident, Naruto pulled up a chair, signaling the beginning of his revelation. He clarified his earlier claim of killing Uchiha Madara, emphasizing that it was, in fact, Uchiha Obito who had been manipulating events. Naruto held a cold tone when mentioning Obito, harboring an unforgiving sentiment for the atrocities committed by the masked ninja.

He conveyed the truth to Konan and Nagato, insisting that Obito's use of the title "Uchiha Madara" was a mere facade intended to deceive. Naruto's determination to never forgive Obito stemmed from personal tragedy, as his parents were victims of Obito's actions. His impassioned plea underscored the profound impact of Obito's deeds, revealing that anyone in Naruto's position would succumb to darkness, including himself. The emotional weight of his words hung in the air, challenging Konan and Nagato to comprehend the depth of his convictions.

Had it not been for Iruka's words when he stole the Sealed Book, Naruto might have succumbed to the darkness. The character Uzumaki Noodles, depicted in the theatrical version, emerged after Naruto's descent into darkness.

Naruto had frequently teetered on the edge of succumbing to the darkness, facing challenging moments such as the actual waterfall incident, Pain's attack on Konoha Village, and the sudden change in villagers' attitudes. Even after Obito's death, resentment and hatred lingered, fueled by the trauma of his experiences and the loss of his parents.

Nagato and Konan displayed surprise as Naruto revealed the true face of "Uchiha Madara." Unaware of the deception orchestrated by Obito and Madara in their quest to collect the tailed beasts, Naruto enlightened them about the origin of the nine-tailed beasts, originally part of the Ten-Tails extracted by the Sage of Six Paths. He debunked Obito's lies, exposing his true motive—to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and launch Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Naruto disclosed the involvement of Black Zetsu, the true puppet master manipulating Obito and Madara. White Zetsu, a remnant of the person trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi a thousand years ago, was revealed to be part of the larger scheme. Black Zetsu, summoned by Madara, emerged as the orchestrator behind all events.

Moreover, Naruto divulged the ultimate goal—to resurrect Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the mother of Sage of Six Paths. Infinite Tsukuyomi, initially seen as a means of achieving peace, was exposed as a plan to turn the entire world into White Zetsu, creating a realm of illusion.

In a surprising move, Naruto shared not only truths about the current events but also future plot twists, providing a sneak peek into the finale of Hokage Ninja and unveiling the final boss—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. The revelation left Konan and Nagato stunned, realizing the depth of deception and manipulation in the grand scheme of events.

The cunning and confident Naruto leaves Konan in shock as she questions how he knows so much about their clan's history. Despite appearing younger than them, Naruto reveals a profound understanding, attributing it to the Sage of Six Paths.

With confidence, Naruto explains that his eyes are opened by the Sage of Six Paths, gesturing toward his unique Gouyu Rinnegan and emphasizing its origins. He goes on to drop an unsettling truth—the eyes adorning Konan and Nagato originally belonged to Uchiha Madara. Naruto asserts that they, like him, belong to the Uzumaki clan, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, just like the Senju and Uchiha clans.

The bombshell revelation leaves Nagato and Konan dumbfounded, grappling with the incredibility of the information. Naruto's unwavering confidence casts a shadow of doubt on their previous understanding of their heritage.

In an attempt to validate his claims, Naruto proposes a solution: "Otherwise, I will show you my memory." The tension escalates further as Naruto, with a smile, activates his Sharingan, transitioning to Mangekyō Sharingan, and uttered, "Tsukuyomi."

The surreal display of Naruto's powers, the activation of the powerful genjutsu, leaves Konan and Nagato in awe, struggling to comprehend the depths of Naruto's abilities.
