Chapter 329 Nagato: Would becoming the Tailed Jinchuriki be better than Tetsuya's master?
Chapter 329 Nagato: Would becoming the Tailed Jinchuriki be better than Tetsuya's master?
Akatsuki's base.
Obito was filled with emotion as he looked at the Gedo Mazo's second eye, which had already opened, and its third eye, which was gradually opening.
"Almost there, almost there! We've already completed one-third of it!"
There are currently only six tailed beasts remaining in the ninja world. At this moment, they have sealed the One-Tail and the Two-Tail, the Three-Tail has not yet been revived, and the Four-Tail is being sealed.
That leaves only the five-tailed Mu-o, the six-tailed Sai-ken, the seven-tailed Chong-ming, the eight-tailed Gyu-ki, and the nine-tailed.
Looking at the Gedo Mazo before him, Nagato felt a continuous flow of power through his connection with the Rinnegan.
They've only sealed two tailed beasts, and there's still one tailed beast being sealed, yet it already possesses such immense power.
If one were to gather all the tailed beasts and awaken the legendary Ten-Tails, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, what kind of power would one possess? Would one be stronger than Tetsuya-sensei?
Nagato couldn't help but recall Tetsuya. Although in his memory Tetsuya had always seemed unreliable, there was no doubt about his strength behind that unreliability.
Master Izuna was powerful enough, yet he was resurrected by Master Tetsuya.
If I become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, will I be able to revive others like my master Tetsuya?
Putting these chaotic thoughts aside, Nagato looked at Obito and asked.
Who is your next target?
"Let's take a break for a while. After sealing three tailed beasts in succession, I think everyone is a bit exhausted. Let's put it off for a while."
"That's strange, you actually chose to take a break for a while?"
Nagato looked at Obito with a strange expression, knowing that Obito had previously wished he could seal all nine tailed beasts at once.
"The reason I was anxious before was because I didn't expect the mission to capture the tailed beast to go so smoothly."
Honestly, Obito never imagined that capturing Jinchuriki would be so easy. It seems that these ninja villages have been living in a false peace for too long, and everyone has been numbed by this false peace.
Those who have been paralyzed have forgotten that this is a cruel ninja world, a world made up of countless corpses and blood.
“Our actions these past few times have certainly attracted the attention of those major powers and ninja villages, so I think we should lie low for a while for now.”
Moreover, I happen to have some other things to take care of during this period.
What Obito was referring to was borrowing Itachi Uchiha's head.
He planned to use Itachi Uchiha as bait to make everyone in the ninja world believe that Konoha was behind the Akatsuki.
This would put Konoha on the opposite side of the ninja world, making the entire ninja world as chaotic as possible.
He had already come up with a specific plan: to expose the agreement between Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi to the entire ninja world.
At this point, you have to ask, Obito, how did you know about the promise between Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi?
When discussing this issue, one person inevitably comes to mind.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's best friend, one of Konoha's G4, the Dark Side of the Ninja World, leader of Root, Danzo Shimura.
"leader!"
Just as Obito was about to leave, a slightly disheveled figure rushed into the base.
"Deidara? What happened to you, you look like this?"
Nagato was somewhat surprised to see Deidara in such a disheveled state.
At this moment, Deidara was covered in dust and dirt, his robe was tattered, and even one of his arms was broken.
"Hahaha, we got tricked."
Deidara awkwardly scratched his head with his one arm.
"When we were preparing to leave, we encountered the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Copy Ninja Kakashi and his group who had caught up with us."
I fought them, but Kakashi used a strange ability to trick me. He twisted off my arm from a distance and sucked it into an unknown place. If I hadn't used my clay self-destruct clone at the crucial moment, I probably would have been done for.
Upon hearing this, Obito frowned. "You bastard Kakashi, what exactly did you put into the Kamui dimension?"
"Then why did you come back alone? Where's Scorpion?"
Seeing Deidara in this state, Nagato already had a certain deduction in his mind, but he still asked the question.
Deidara said with some regret.
"Chief, Master Scorpion... Master Scorpion is not coming back."
Nagato remained silent, and Deidara lowered his head without saying a word.
For Nagato, although Sasori had a somewhat eccentric personality, he was one of the earliest members of the Akatsuki organization.
As for Deidara, although Sasori's artistic ideas differed from his own, Sasori was always his good older brother. Since joining the Akatsuki, Sasori was the one who had partnered with him the longest.
There's no need to be sad.
Obito spoke up.
"As long as we gather all nine tailed beasts and use the Rinnegan to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, we will be able to create the world we desire with our own hands."
In that new world, all the people we know will be reunited, and we will never be separated again.
Upon hearing this, Deidara raised his head and looked at Obito with some confusion.
"hooligan?"
"Hahaha, it's me, Deidara-senpai!"
Obito then realized that Deidara was unaware of his true identity.
"Don't be discouraged, Deidara-senpai. Didn't the leader tell us this when he recruited us? So, we should turn our grief and anger into strength and complete the task of defeating the nine tailed beasts as soon as possible."
"You agree, right, Chief?"
“That’s right, Deidara, you should go and rest first. Tobi, find a chance to retrieve Sasori’s ring.”
Nagato found an excuse to make Obito leave.
"Yes, Chief, I'll be going now."
Obito understood Nagato's meaning, responded, and quickly left.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki's stronghold was destroyed.
Outside the base, on a vast grassland, Sakura, a medical ninja, checks on Gaara's condition.
After examining her, Sakura shook her head.
Everyone present, witnessing this scene, understood Sakura's meaning: Gaara was beyond saving.
"Damn it! Why did this happen! Why!"
Naruto clenched his fists, his feelings incredibly complicated.
"Why did Gaara have to go through such a thing? He finally managed to get out of his own inner turmoil, he finally managed to live like a normal person, he finally became the Kazekage, and he finally gained everyone's recognition."
Why did this happen? His life shouldn't have ended here! Why?!
Perhaps, looking at the entire ninja world, Naruto is the one who can best understand Gaara's feelings.
Both were jinchūriki and both grew up under discrimination from others.
They are like different versions of the same person in different parts of the world.
"Quiet down, you brat!"
Just as Naruto felt indignant about Gaara's fate, Chiyo's sharp shout silenced him.
Naruto looked at Chiyo with some confusion.
"Grandma Chiyo?"
