Chapter 65.3 : Madara Exposed?
Hidden Rain Village.
Nagato and Konan gazed at the live room with unreadable expressions on their faces.
"Nagato, what are your thoughts on the speculations they've mentioned?" Konan inquired.
Nagato furrowed his brow, "I've always wondered why I awakened the Rinnegan. There's no such history of it, and as far as I know, neither of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths had the Rinnegan.
So why does I possess it? The future image clearly indicates the presence of Rinnegan, but it's now gone.
This suggests that this Rinnegan does not belong to him. After all, there aren't many people in history that have Rinnegan.
In that case, my Rinnegan might truly belong to Madara."
"Nagato, what exactly does the Rinnegan do?" Konan asked curiously.
"Resurrection," Nagato speculated. "The Rinnegan possesses the ability to resurrect. Could it be that he wants me to revive him in the future?"
"He was dreaming. How could we resurrect him? Reviving someone with the Rinnegan demands the sacrifice of one's life! Unless one's vitality is incredibly strong, it's nearly impossible not to die. However, there are many treasures in the Golden List that enhance vitality and offer life-saving abilities. It might indeed be possible to resurrect someone and secure immortality," Konan explained.
"I won't revive Madara. Although my body has healed, and my strength has grown, I can't do it," Nagato stated.
"Be cautious of Madara. Even though we're cooperating with Obito, we shouldn't be easily deceived by them," Konan reminded.
"I understand," Nagato nodded. "Obito and I have a shared plan for now—a partnership built on mutual interests. But if he attempts to manipulate me, it's a futile effort!"
In the Pure Land,
Uchiha Madara murmured to himself, "They're getting close to figuring it out. Nagato is likely suspecting that the Rinnegan belongs to me, but he can't break ties with Obito.
He won't dissolve the Akatsuki organization, and he won't abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. Both Nagato and Obito are cooperating on the surface but remain wary of each other.
Obito wants to become the Ten Tails Jinchūriki, activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi himself, control the world within it, and rule over it.
And Nagato wants to use Ten Tails as a deterrent to create peace in the entire ninja world.
They both want to be the true masterminds.
But, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu belong to me. Obito can't afford to betray me as long as they're in play. Even if the truth comes out, it won't affect me much.
I'll still be resurrected. If I'm fortunate and obtain the resurrection item directly from the Gold List, I won't need anyone's help!"
Uchiha Madara thought to himself.
[Senju Hashirama: Uchiha Madara didn't speak; it appears he can't refute this theory. Uchiha Madara is indeed cunning and has laid a deep groundwork.
[Uchiha Madara: I've concealed my true intentions quite well. The one who's truly hidden their intentions isn't that Yasao; at least, you know me well, and you don't know him at all.
Uchiha Madara's intention was to divert attention to Yasao and lessen the focus on himself.
[Senju Hashirama: Yasao is indeed a mysterious individual. Even now, we don't know his true identity.
[Tsunade: Although Yasao is mysterious, he hasn't harmed the Five Great Ninja Villages. But Uchiha Madara is a different story.
[Jiraiya: Yes, we must remain cautious of Yasao, but Uchiha Madara also warrants our vigilance. The mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization is undoubtedly Uchiha Madara!
[Gaara: Nagato should also be taken seriously. He possesses the Rinnegan, just like Uchiha Madara. Perhaps he's even more formidable than Uchiha Madara!
At this moment, the thirteenth position on the Eye Technique List was announced!

[Gaara: Nagato should also be taken seriously. He possesses the Rinnegan, just like Uchiha Madara. Perhaps he's even more formidable than Uchiha Madara!
At this moment, the thirteenth position on the Eye Technique List was announced!
[Ranked Thirteenth on the Eye Technique List: Indra Ōtsutsuki, equipped with the Mangekyō Sharingan, wields formidable abilities such as observation, replication, and illusions. He can manifest a complete-body Susanoo, showcasing his incredibly potent ocular prowess...]
[Fourth Raikage: Indra is said to be one of the sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. Is he limited to the Mangekyō Sharingan?]
[Senju Tobirama: To attain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, one must transplant the Mangekyō Sharingan of a close relative.
During Indra's era, he might have been the first to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, so he cannot obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Nevertheless, as the son of the Sage of the Six Paths, he has inherited the Sage's genes, resulting in both remarkable ocular and physical abilities. His Mangekyō Sharingan might surpass Madara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan but likely falls short of the Rinnegan's ocular prowess.
In terms of strength, Ōtsutsuki Indra is undoubtedly more powerful than Nagato with the Rinnegan, approaching the level of the Six Paths.]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Hmph, I didn't anticipate ranking thirteenth on the Eye Technique List, with some of these inexperienced youngsters ranked higher than me. This ranking is entirely unreasonable; I am the most powerful one!]
[Second Mizukage: Indra Ōtsutsuki is absolutely outrageous!]
[Third Tsuchikage: People do have the propensity to be rather eccentric here, but he takes it to an entirely new level!]
[Great Toad Sage: Young Indra's temperament hasn't changed a bit, still as feisty as ever.]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Hmph, old toad, it's none of your business.]
[Great Toad Sage: You display no respect for your elders. Even your father, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, regarded me with the utmost respect!]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Curse you for mentioning that old man!]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: Brother, don't speak ill of our father like that! After all these years, are you still harboring resentment over that incident?]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Yes! Why did he choose you as the successor? I am the elder son; I should have been the chosen one. It's unfair! It's a pity that he passed away too soon; otherwise, I would have shown him who the true powerhouse is!]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: Hey!]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: This Golden List is my opportunity. I will harness the Golden List rewards to grow even stronger and resurrect in the ninja world. In the end, the ninja world will be mine!]
Ashura Ōtsutsuki and Indra Ōtsutsuki argued for a while but eventually parted ways, ceasing their conversation.
