Chapter 86: The Moon Eye Plan’s Conspiracy!
Chapter 86: The Moon Eye Plan's Conspiracy!
Completely unprepared, Konan and Nagato found their entire understanding of the world upended by Uchiha Yi's revelations.
Uchiha Yi was pleased with their reactions—it was clear they believed him. If they hadn't, it would have taken far more effort to explain, creating unnecessary complications.
This success owed much to their established teacher-student relationship, which fostered trust. Without it, if Uchiha Yi had disclosed everything too early, Konan and Nagato likely wouldn't have listened.
This timing was deliberate. Uchiha Yi wanted to guide them toward a different fate and save them from their tragic future.
"Uchiha Madara transplanting the Rinnegan to Nagato was only the first step in his plan," Uchiha Yi began.
"To ensure Nagato would act according to his intentions, Madara needed a proxy. Before his death, Madara found a representative: the masked man you know as 'Uchiha Madara.'
"But that masked man's true identity is Obito Uchiha, Kakashi's closest friend, thought to have died during the Third Shinobi World War.
"Madara saved Obito's life, manipulating him into becoming his successor. Obito then adopted Madara's identity, using it to lead Nagato down the path of gathering the tailed beasts and reviving the Ten-Tails.
"This culminates in having Nagato cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping the entire world in an illusion.
"That is the essence of the Moon Eye Plan."
Uchiha Yi's explanation left them stunned.
"So that's the truth," Nagato said with a bitter laugh, his voice heavy with disillusionment.
His years of effort and sacrifices now felt like a cruel joke. Everything he had worked toward had been based on lies.
Dreams that weren't his own were no more than illusions.
Even Konan struggled to process what she had heard. Her usually composed demeanor wavered as she clenched her fists in frustration.
"It's hard to believe," she finally said, her voice trembling. "But it explains so much."

Seeing their distress, Uchiha Yi sympathized, though he knew this was only the beginning.
"Uchiha Yi," Konan asked, regaining some composure. "If the Moon Eye Plan is wrong, should we abandon it entirely?"
"No," Uchiha Yi replied, shaking his head. "While the Moon Eye Plan is flawed and won't bring true peace to the ninja world, it still needs to be carried out."
Konan and Nagato were taken aback but refrained from questioning him immediately, waiting for further explanation.
"In addition to placing the world under illusion, the Moon Eye Plan has another function: releasing an ancient terror sealed on the moon for over a thousand years.
"This entity is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, also known as the Rabbit Goddess.
"She is the progenitor of chakra itself, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths.
"If she is freed, there will be no one in this world strong enough to defeat her.
"Though her exact motives are unclear, what we do know is that she was sealed away by her own sons, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother."
Hearing this, Nagato and Konan were speechless. The idea of Kaguya's existence and the centuries-old conspiracy was almost too fantastical to grasp.
"I know this sounds unbelievable," Uchiha Yi admitted. "But it's the truth.
"Kaguya created a son, Black Zetsu, to orchestrate her release.
"Black Zetsu manipulated Madara into believing that Infinite Tsukuyomi was the key to world peace.
"When Madara's time ran out, he passed the mantle to Obito.
"Obito, in turn, guided Nagato to fulfill this mission."
Uchiha Yi paused, giving them a moment to digest the revelation. The intricate layers of deception and manipulation felt like an endless labyrinth.
Even Uchiha Yi, who knew the truth, found the complexity of the Moon Eye Plan mind-boggling.
As for Konan and Nagato, their worldviews had been thoroughly shattered.
After some time, Konan finally spoke. "What should we do now?"
"We need to shift control of the Moon Eye Plan to someone else," Uchiha Yi said. "Nagato must not be the one to execute it. Otherwise, he will die."
Nagato and Konan nodded in agreement. Now that they understood the truth, they no longer felt bound to the plan.
"But we can't hand it over abruptly," Uchiha Yi cautioned. "We need a proper opportunity to transition leadership."
He then shared the details of his plan with them, outlining how they could redirect the Moon Eye Plan without raising suspicion.
"Alright," Konan said after much discussion. "We'll follow your lead."

For the first time in years, Konan and Nagato felt like they had a clear path forward.
"Thank you, Uchiha Yi," Nagato said sincerely.
Konan echoed his sentiment, "You've given us clarity. We owe you."
Uchiha Yi smiled. "You're my teachers. Who else would I help if not you?"
This conversation marked a turning point for Uchiha Yi.
When he first arrived in this world, he had lived in constant fear, lacking the strength to protect himself. Now, with power firmly in his grasp, his outlook had shifted.
His vengeance was complete, and there was no need to cling to bitterness.
It was time to look forward.
If the ninja world was broken, he would fix it.
If it was ugly, he would make it beautiful.
And if the old ways couldn't bring peace, he would forge a new path—one built on absolute strength and clarity of purpose.
After all, it was time for the ninja world's endless cycle of war to come to an end.
