Chapter 210

After so many years of being together, he had actually long since grown accustomed to Konan’s company.

And at this very moment, their relationship seemed to have reached its end.

"It seems Itachi have truly found a man Itachi like. Bless Itachi both."

Discovering Nagato’s disappointment, Konan couldn't help but comfort him: "Actually, Itachi don't need to be sad. There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end. I have always treated Itachi like a brother, and the same goes for Yahiko. Itachi are both my most important partners."

Halfway through her words, Konan looked at Senju Star Night with affectionate eyes: "However, from now on, I have met someone more important, someone important enough to surpass my own life."

"Clearly, he is Senju Star Night."

Senju Star Night watched the whole thing, and after hearing Konan’s confession, he felt a little comforted.

He didn't expect Konan to be so loyal to him.

It seems that all the sweat shed over this time was worth it.

After everyone cleared up the misunderstanding, Obito Uchiha hurried to the point:

"Actually, we came here this time for a more important matter."

"Nagato, Itachi should still remember our plan, right?"

Nagato nodded: "Use the Tailed Beasts to revive the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and achieve world peace in the true sense."

Obito Uchiha smiled: "That's right, this was our original plan, but now the plan has changed a little bit."

Looking at Senju Star Night, the two exchanged glances, and Obito Uchiha continued:

"I went to the Hidden Leaf this time to find a partner, and Senju Star Night is the best candidate."

"We are responsible for summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and let Senju Star Night collect the Tailed Beasts."

"In the end, we can actually skip reviving the real Madara."

Nagato knew the plan from the beginning. The original plan was for Nagato to cast the Samsara Heavenly Life Technique, thereby bringing Madara Uchiha back to life.

However, in the battle to hunt the Nine-Tails, Nagato was persuaded by Naruto’s "Talk no Jutsu," and in the end, he actually used this technique to revive everyone who died in this attack.

Obito hadn't expected this to happen.

But now, with the addition of Senju Star Night, Obito could finally get rid of Madara Uchiha’s control.

Using the bloodline inheritance of the Senju of the Forest as the Ten-Tails jinchuriki was clearly a better choice.

This Madara Uchiha, in order to scheme against him, actually laid a hand on Rin.

This was something Obito Uchiha could never forgive.

Hearing Obito Uchiha’s plan, Nagato was a bit troubled: "Have Itachi forgotten Black Zetsu?"

Nagato possessed the Six Paths Rinnegan, so his sensory ability went without saying.

From the beginning, he knew the specific composition of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Obito Uchiha viewed Black Zetsu even more as the will of Madara Uchiha.

Nagato’s meaning was very clear.

They were secretly discussing a plan to betray Madara Uchiha here; if Black Zetsu overheard them.

The consequences were clearly incalculable.

However, at this very moment.

Black Zetsu appeared from the shadows of the wall: "Don't worry, I won't betray Itachi."

Halfway through his words, Black Zetsu’s gaze turned to Senju Star Night:

"Right, Dad?"

Black Zetsu’s appearance almost gave Obito and Nagato a fright.

However, the "Dad" that Black Zetsu called out caused everyone present to break their composure.

"What is this situation?"

"Isn't Black Zetsu the will of Madara Uchiha?"

"How can Black Zetsu call Senju Star Night 'Dad'?"

"This is too unbelievable!"

Although everyone knew Senju Star Night had many children, they had been working with Black Zetsu for so long.

Senju Star Night, such a young ninja, could actually have a son as big as Black Zetsu.

This was too unbelievable!

Black Zetsu seemed to have noticed the doubts of Nagato and Obito.

"Don't worry, I am actually not the will of Madara Uchiha. I was previously controlled by his dojutsu, and it was Senju Star Night who saved me."

Hearing this, Obito and Nagato gasped at the same time.

There was actually such a layer of reason.

"Alright, since everyone has cleared up the misunderstanding, it seems we can proceed to the next step of the plan."

Senju Star Night came before Nagato, looking at the pale-haired, withered Nagato, a smile curled on Senju Star Night’s lips.

"The vitality of the Uzumaki clan is very tenacious. Even so, Itachi were sucked dry like this; it seems the Rinnegan is a great burden on Itachi."

"Given your current physical condition, I'm afraid Itachi won't last long."

Senju Star Night paused, noticing Nagato’s solemn expression, and his tone carried a hint of comfort:

"But Itachi don't have to worry. As long as Itachi replace the Rinnegan, I have the confidence to help Itachi heal your body."

Only now did Nagato completely understand Senju Star Night’s intentions.

"So Itachi were after my Rinnegan from the very beginning?"

At this time, Obito Uchiha corrected him: "Let me correct Itachi. Actually, this Rinnegan was awakened by Madara Uchiha himself after he seized Hashirama’s cells, and it was I who transplanted it onto Itachi."

Nagato’s expression was surprised: "It was Itachi?"

Actually, Nagato wasn't without any feeling, but he had been in the suspicion stage before, and today it was finally confirmed.

"Then the establishment of the Akatsuki was also pushed by Itachi?"

Obito Uchiha did not intend to hide it: "That's right. I used Itachi before, but this was all Madara Uchiha’s intention. If Itachi want to blame someone, blame Madara Uchiha."

Nagato lowered his head, lost in thought, and Konan beside him also frowned.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Senju Star Night stood up to adjust it:

"Although the establishment of the Akatsuki was Obito Uchiha’s plan, the destruction of your village was not Obito’s design."

"Think back carefully. Your village was caught in the cracks between great nations. It has been at war for hundreds of years, always a battlefield for the great nations to compete. For so many years, the flames of war have never been extinguished."

"Obito is not very old now. Even if someone really laid a hand on your village, it should have been Madara Uchiha."

Senju Star Night’s words cleverly attracted the hatred toward Madara Uchiha.

Of course, all this was not Senju Star Night’s nonsense; there was some basis behind it.

Black Zetsu, who witnessed the whole conversation, admired his "dad" Senju Star Night even more in his heart.

He originally thought his own years of scheming were enough to be devious, but he didn't expect his cheap dad to be even more ruthless when it came to fooling people.

It was clearly a plan to revive his mother, Kaguya, yet in the eyes of Obito and Nagato, it could evolve into two versions...

It must be said that Senju Star Night is the greatest swindler.

Regardless, Senju Star Night’s words dispelled the hostility Nagato and Konan had toward Obito.

"It seems we now have a common enemy. Let's work together to deal with that legendary Madara. What do Itachi think?"

Black Zetsu reminded them at this appropriate moment.

The atmosphere at the scene eased once again.

"Tell us, what is your plan?" Nagato’s tone became very calm.

Senju Star Night decided to explain the legends of the Ten-Tails jinchuriki and the power of the Six Paths to Nagato.

And he analyzed the situation of this world in great detail.

It was also the first time Nagato heard that there were many strange worlds beyond the sea.

There is the assassin organization that relies on technology, Germa.

There is the kingdom in the clouds, the God’s Skypiea.

There is the sunken kingdom under the sea, Fish-Man Island.

And the animal kingdom carried on the back of a giant elephant on the sea.

Strange and varied, everything one could expect.

Besides their current world, there also existed Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society somewhere in the world.
