Chapter 1264: Chain Trap
The Hidden Rain Village is always shrouded in sad rain. No one knows that the arrogant and powerful rebel ninja organization "Akatsuki" on the mainland is hiding here.
When the Akatsuki organization was first established, there were three ninjas, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, who had been taught by Jiraiya for two years. Yahiko learned the concept of protecting peace from Jiraiya, so he and his two good partners established Akatsuki, determined to change the ninja world and never let tragedies like World War II happen again.
The main battlefield of World War II was the Rain Country where they lived. The Salamander Hanzo, who was called the top of the ninja world, challenged Konoha with the power of a small village, trying to pry the pattern of the five major countries, but was defeated in the end. The national power of the Rain Country declined, and the Hidden Rain Village was also miserable. There were frozen bones on the road and the river was full of starving people.
The three people who grew up in troubled times hoped that their organization could become the hope of the country, so they named it "Akatsuki". The three young and promising teenagers did influence the entire village for a time, which was very effective and attracted many young ninjas to join them.
However, a powerful organization that develops rapidly will inevitably attract the attention of the ruler, especially when the organization's philosophy is contrary to the ruler's ideas.
Hanzo has his own ambitions, but Akatsuki does not want to start a war. In Hanzo's view, the existence of Akatsuki is a poison that paralyzes the Hidden Rain Village. Coupled with the instigation of Shimura Danzo, Hanzo finally took action against Akatsuki.
Hanzo first deceived Konan and controlled her as a hostage. Then, in the encirclement, he threatened Konan's life and asked Yahiko and Nagato to kill each other. In the end, Yahiko himself ran into Nagato's kunai and died. The tragic death of his friend triggered Nagato's Samsara Eye, and Hanzo, the old top of the ninja world, could only die with hatred.
It can be said that there was room for things to go here, but Nagato, a man who had no goals, took over Yahiko's last wish, became the leader of Akatsuki, and began to turn "Akatsuki" into a terrorist organization.
Of course, Nagato did not turn evil at the beginning. There was another person who influenced him in the dark, that is, Uchiha Obito. At first, Uchiha Obito contacted Akatsuki according to Uchiha Madara's arrangement, because Nagato's Samsara Eye was transplanted to him by Madara. Madara knew that he was dying, and he was also seriously injured in the battle with the first generation, so he arranged for the resurrection. As long as the secret technique of the Samsara Eye is used, people can be resurrected.
And this pair of Samsara Eyes is the highest achievement of Uchiha Madara's life, and the ultimate weapon that he awakened until the end of his life.
Madara chose Nagato at the beginning, and later he hoped to turn "Akatsuki" into an organization that operates to resurrect him. Of course, as a reward, he will realize "eternal peace" for Akatsuki.
When Yahiko was alive, he was very moved but refused. He learned from Jiraiya that peace needs to be fought for and protected by his own hands, and there is no shortcut.
However, Yahiko died, proving that the concept he insisted on was wrong. If he still hopes for peace, Nagato must find another way, so he listened to Obito's advice and finally embarked on the road arranged by Madara.
At this time, Xiaonan stood in the rain, and the pale faces of those innocent children could not be erased from his mind. Those young lives just passed away, just like flowers destroyed by the sudden rain, knocked down by their own hands.
I have always believed that I can bring peace, but now it seems that the price of "peace" may be something they cannot pay. And those rebels in the Akatsuki organization, don't they have any humanity? Seeing so many children die and being indifferent, Xiaonan was shaken.
In the drizzling rain, Obito hid in the dark and observed. He could feel the change in Xiaonan's mood. In fact, he was also shocked. I don't know who would use such means.
However, Obito can be sure that this behavior is not to defeat Akatsuki, but to psychologically disintegrate the members of Akatsuki, and his heart is worthy of death. There are probably not many people on this continent who can do this, even the Uchiha family who are good at illusions can't do it. Obito's mind emerged with a "familiar" who has not seen for a long time-Duran.
But there is no evidence, and now the mastermind is not important. What is important is that Madara's plan must be completed, and then everyone will be happy.
Obito is also a person with a story. He was also framed by Madara to become Madara's successor.
Of course, Madara also has a story. Everything he did was not done by himself. He has a partner named "Ze".
Of course, Zetsu is not an ordinary person. He is a small clone of the behind-the-scenes boss Kaguya Otsutsuki. His purpose is not to help Madara build a harmonious society, but to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.
This is a pyramid scheme organization, and it counts as one who fools one. Zetsu fooled Madara to achieve "Infinite Moon Reading", Madara shared this goal with Obito, and then Obito made a discount to fool Nagato. Reviving Madara is the goal, and eternal peace is the reward.
Obito's thought of Duran is not without basis. In the past few years, he always felt that there was a shadow darker than a black hole hidden in the seemingly bright Konoha. The strange summoning beasts and various strange skills that appeared on the continent only appeared after Duran appeared. All of this must be related.
Moreover, kidnapping children and using them as cannon fodder to attack the psychological defenses of Akatsuki members is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of and do. After thinking about it, there is no one else except Duran. Because Duran is really omnipotent, Obito knows that in order to complete the "Infinite Moonlight Reading" plan, Duran is definitely the biggest enemy.
There is no reason, just feel so.
Someone else came, and Obito continued to observe secretly. It turned out that it was a puppet made of Yahiko's corpse controlled by Nagato to enlighten Xiaonan.
Nagato knew that they had encountered the most vicious enemy, but the more vicious the enemy was, the more they had to cheer up: "Xiaonan, it is precisely because there are such people in the world that we should be more determined on our own path."
"But..." Xiaonan thought that she could continue to go on, but if she went on, what would they have to sacrifice? Now it's hundreds of children, and then what? Can they sacrifice the whole world for peace? A voice told Xiaonan that peace is not like this.
"We have no choice. Haven't you seen this turbid world clearly? They will not understand our pain. Only when they have tasted the pain we have experienced, will they cherish peace." Nagato controlled Yahiko's corpse and said. The name of this puppet is called "Six Paths Pein".
Pein means pain.
... Xiaonan used to agree with this point. She believed that other people would become the same as them after experiencing pain. This is judging others by oneself. But this time she thought she couldn't continue. The enemy's viciousness was beyond imagination. If things continue like this, and other people don't feel the pain, the Akatsuki members will lose their qualifications to be human beings first. Then what qualifications will they have to fight for world peace? But she knew she couldn't convince Nagato, so she kept silent.
Konan knew that she could only find the mastermind and stop him, so that the Akatsuki could continue. Otherwise, the Akatsuki would be as sinful as the mastermind. For the sake of her companions, she had to take action: "I know what to do." She was going to stop the mastermind and the Akatsuki members from continuing to commit sins.
Pein glanced at Konan and nodded slightly. He knew what Konan was thinking and supported it.
