Rimuru walked towards Nagato and sat beside him
"Yo, you good?"
"Nagato's eye, half-opened as he tried to see who was around him
"Wha- H-How?" He saw the explosion as it hit the Gedo Mazo, he knew that it should have obliterated the area that he was looking at right now
"Oh, this? just a neat trick I stole from someone" Noticing the cause of his confusion, Rimuru explained but actually didn't explain anything
"... why... are you here?" Nagato asked
"Wow, not even going to ask how I am? or how I was not blown to pieces... or how I know you, Nagato, since you never showed yourself to me?"
"Those... questions doesn't matter
I am going to die anyway..."
"Oh, right
I almost forgot"
*Disgusting sounds*
Rimuru ripped Nagato's remaining Rinnegan from his eye socket, but he didn't even whimper, not even feeling the pain
'Is this how it's going to end?' He asked himself, but
"It's been a while since I used this, So I am quite rusty at it... [Heka]"
A warm feeling spread through Nagato's whole body, and after 5 or so seconds, he opened his eyes
Immediately after opening his eyes, he put his hands in front of them, shocked
"This... ho-" He was interrupted
"Don't ask, not even I know how it works... it just does..." Rimuru said
"Here" Using [Hephaestus] Rimuru created a small mirror and gave it to Nagato
Nagato took the mirror, and what he saw on it shocked him
Bright red hair, that should have been ghostly white by now
his face was like any normal person, instead of the shivered up Hiruzen look he had before
his missing eyes got replaced by a pair of Onyx eyes (Yes, I searched for it, but Nagato was never shown without the Rinnegan, but his parents both had dark eyes, so that's it)
He kept looking at his reflection for a while, but after the shock was gone, he simply dropped down on the ground again
"Oy, does breathing tire? why are you down again?" Rimuru asked, annoyed
he had to first watch the shocked Nagato look at the mirror in a daze for who knows how long, just for him to drop 'dead' the very next second? what kind of bullshit is that?
"Why do you care?" Nagato asked in an aggressive tone
"seesh, why so salty? I just ripped your eye out, nothing much..." Rimuru commented making Nagato glare at him
"What you ripped from me wasn't my eye, it was my dream" Nagato said, still glaring
"Oh, sure, and if I didn't heal you, how did you plan on achieving that dream being DEAD?"
Rimuru said, emphasizing the dead part
And to that, Nagato remained silent
"Like I thought
But seriously dude... your dream... you know it wasn't feasible, right?" Rimuru asked
"Not feasible? what do you mean?" Nagato asked while frowning
"Let me tell you what made your plan impossible
asides from Obito, who you called Madara, manipulation..."
Nagato's face twitched as he heard Madara's name
"... Your plan was to create an ultra duper super powerful weapon, make a little mess and make people understand each other through pain, right?" Rimuru asked
Albeit he was surprised that Rimuru knew his whole plan, he ignored that for now
"Yes, and what about it is impossible?"
"Asides from the part that, this 'weapon' is just a way for the plan of the people who manipulated you to work,
You had a good idea... but how can I tell you the truth without being inconsiderate?...
...
Well, give humans superpowers, and they will make war
give them an objective and they will fight for it
give them an enemy, as you planned... and..."
"And?"
"And they will group up, make even MORE weapons and jutsus to fight said enemy, that after they either beat the enemy or you die of old age, and such...
and they would have even more ways to start wars...
And that is not counting that, all the destruction you would cause could end up making parts of the world impossible to live in..."
Hearing all of this, Nagato had a thoughtful expression
he had never really considered what would happen AFTER he died... because gods don't die, and he viewed himself as one
but now... he knows he is not, and know he almost did a big mistake
"That is..." Rimuru continued, bringing Nagato back from his thoughts
"...Unless you weren't really after peace, but was just using your organization's original objective to justify why you made so many... questionable things"
"That's not-"
"Unless, you actually consciously or not, just wanted everyone in the world to feel the same as you, to suffer the same as you... to feel... pain"
As Rimuru concluded, Nagato's eyes were wide open, never had him thought about this
He always believed in his objective, always followed Yahiko's dream... always...
'Did I really?' He began to question himself, but before he could dwell too long on his own mind, Rimuru called him out
"Nagato Uzumaki"
He looked at Rimuru, again a bit shocked that he knew his full name
"How are you going to continue your dream, the peace one, not the pain one?"
"Continue my dream...?"
"What? giving up already?"
"You don't understand... I lost my Rinnegan, My organization isn't peace-loving, and without power, they would never obey me...
what can I even do now? continue? doing what? anti-war revolts? non-violent peace negotiations? I know how that last one ends"
"If you don't have a plan, then follow mine
if you don't have power, I can give you some
What do you think?"
"...
What IS your plan?" Nagato asked
"Ah, you see
all those wars, started since humans got chakra, no?
then how can we end them? returning to the original state of this world
REMOVING ALL THE CHAKRA OF THE WORLD!" Rimuru screamed loud enough for their stalker to hear
<I never heard a bigger lie>
'Hey, no one talks about the wars before chakra, and they obviously can't know about the wars normal humans can make, so it is fair dor me to say that'
<I know, and I also know you are only acting, but... I need to call out the lies, I'm legally required>
'...Sure
but remember, I can't give a shit if this world explodes after I'm done with it.
I only need to make it a peaceful and beautiful place for my sister to live their childhood at, after that, I won't need it anymore
what will happen 100 or even 1000 years after we are out, doesn't concern me'
<I know exactly why you do what you do, but why the monologue?>
'...
aw, c'mon
all the cool villains do that nowadays!'
<Sigh... you are such a kid sometimes...>
'I know'
...
"Remove... the chakra?" Nagato asked, completely shocked by Rimuru's plan
It was an effective method, but somehow even harder than his crazy plan was
"But... that's impossible... right?"
"Nagato, Nagato Nagato...
how dumb of you.
It can only be said as impossible because no one did it before.
as long as I have the power to do so, I can guarantee you, that ANYTHING is possible"
Rimuru said, smirking
"... You said you can give me power, made such a CRAZY plan, and even knew a lot of secrets about me...
just... who- no, WHAT are you?"
"Me?..." Rimuru asked, closing his eyes
"...I am just..." Rimuru opened his eyes, revealing his Rinnegan
"What?" Nagato asked shocked, he was not only showing that he wasn't a God, just because of his eyes
and then showing that someone else had these eyes, proving once and for all, he wasn't Rikudo reincarnated or that stupidity he believed in before
But, Rimuru continued, and concluded
"... A God"
