#124 - Chapter 124: Moon Eye Project? Black Zetsu's plan to find his mother!
“One million!”
Naruto held up a finger, his face wearing the confidence and composure of a little Batman.
Without a word, Jiraiya tossed a million to Naruto. “Say!”
“Dead.”
“......”
For some reason, even though he learned that Uchiha Madara was dead, he wasn't as happy as he'd imagined.
Was it because this answer was already the one in his heart?
“Why do you say Uchiha Madara is the mastermind if he's dead?” Jiraiya asked, puzzled.
Naruto shook his head and said, “Some people die, but as long as someone remembers them, they can live! Aren't there many ways to revive people in this world?”
“So there's a saying that a person's true death isn't the moment their life disappears, but when they're forgotten by everyone~”
“When no one remembers any trace of you in this world, then the world beyond has nothing to do with you, and you're truly stripped from this world.”
“But if someone always remembers you, you'll live forever! Either live in people's hearts, or... be resurrected!”
Jiraiya was shocked. “You mean Uchiha Madara will be resurrected? Who wants him resurrected? Black Zetsu? Or the person pretending to be Uchiha Madara? Is their purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts to resurrect Uchiha Madara?”
Naruto didn't speak, but rubbed his thumb between his index and middle fingers.
Jiraiya understood and tossed another two million to Naruto.
Naruto was about to answer Jiraiya when he suddenly stopped him. “Wait! Let me change the question!”
Including the two million, he had already given Naruto ten million, spending a third of the thirty million he had brought!
If he continued to ask nonsensical questions like this, he estimated that fifty million wouldn't be enough!
So Jiraiya decided to think, seeking to exchange the most information for the least amount of money!
First of all, knowing who wants to resurrect Uchiha Madara is meaningless. Instead of asking who wants to do it, it's better to ask what method they plan to use to resurrect Uchiha Madara, so he can find a way to stop them!
Secondly, the meaning of capturing the Tailed Beasts might be to resurrect Uchiha Madara, or it might not be.
Jiraiya wasn't sure if capturing so many Tailed Beasts could have the effect of resurrecting someone, but he knew that asking that way wasn't very meaningful.
Instead of asking if it is, it's better to ask—what exactly is the Akatsuki's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts!
Provided that Naruto knows!
After thinking, Jiraiya rephrased his questions to Naruto: “The first question I want to ask is, what is the Akatsuki's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts? The second question is, what method do they plan to use to resurrect Uchiha Madara?”
“I can answer question two, but question one... do you want to know Nagato's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts, or the purpose of the person pretending to be Uchiha Madara in capturing the Tailed Beasts, or Black Zetsu's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts?”
Maybe he could ask what the Tailed Beasts were collected for?
But since each of them has their own purpose, then collecting the Tailed Beasts might not have only one use!
No... maybe collecting the Tailed Beasts only has one use, but someone lied!
Jiraiya thought for a long time and realized that he couldn't avoid this question at all, so he took out another two million for Naruto.
“Nagato's purpose in resurrecting the Tailed Beasts is to obtain absolute power for military threats, to create peace! He believes that only by letting everyone experience the pain of loss and the pain of war can people empathize and understand each other!”
“Nagato, he......”
Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this answer.
He suddenly remembered a similar passage he had said many years ago when he was teaching Nagato. At that time, Nagato killed the Iwagakure ninja who was going to be sold to Yahiko because he couldn't control the power of the Rinnegan. He once told Nagato that people cannot empathize unless they experience the same pain......
Could it be that his teaching made him like this?
Jiraiya couldn't help but question whether he was qualified as a teacher.
Before Jiraiya could digest the information, Naruto continued: “The person pretending to be Uchiha Madara wants to collect the Tailed Beasts to implement the Eye of the Moon Plan.”
“Eye of the Moon Plan?”
“Yes, he believes that humans can never understand each other. The way to permanently solve the problem of war and achieve permanent world peace is—to permanently drag everyone into a genjutsu!”
“What? Drag everyone into a genjutsu forever? How could such a thing be possible? Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths couldn't do such a thing, right?”
Jiraiya's face was full of shock, and then he subconsciously asked: “Who is this person pretending to be Uchiha Madara?!”
“Um... add money.”
Jiraiya subconsciously wanted to take out the money, but hesitated and put it back.
Who this person pretending to be Uchiha Madara is, is not as important as he imagined. What's important is how to stop them and prevent them from achieving their goals!
Thinking of this, he looked at Naruto in front of him with burning eyes.
As long as Naruto is protected, no matter who the opponent is or what their purpose is, they will not be able to achieve their evil goals!
“You should finish what you haven't said yet.” Jiraiya said.
Naruto shrugged and continued: “I'll give you a message as a bonus. Uchiha Madara and this person pretending to be Uchiha Madara have the same purpose. In a sense, they are master and disciple, inheritors of will. But the two of them are not very close. If it wasn't for Uchiha Madara's life coming to an end at that time......”
“Then Black Zetsu's purpose is to break the seal of its mother. You can understand it as a search for Mom plan. Whether it's resurrecting Uchiha Madara or Nagato collecting the Tailed Beasts, it's just a part of its plan.”
“As for what method it will use to resurrect Uchiha Madara, I can only say that it's likely to use the Rinnegan's dōjutsu, but in addition to that, there are many ways to resurrect the dead. No one knows what method it will take to resurrect Uchiha Madara afterwards.”
“It?”
Jiraiya keenly noticed the information contained in this sentence.
Naruto nodded and said: “Well, this piece of information can also be regarded as a bonus. Nagato believes that the person pretending to be Uchiha Madara is Uchiha Madara, so naturally he will not have the idea of resurrecting Uchiha Madara. As for the person pretending to be Uchiha Madara, he doesn't want to resurrect Uchiha Madara! After all, there is only one pair of Rinnegan! There can only be one ruler of this world!”
“Moreover, according to the Eye of the Moon Plan, except for the person who casts the ninjutsu, everyone else will be dragged into the genjutsu. If Uchiha Madara is resurrected, wouldn't the person pretending to be Uchiha Madara also have to be dragged into the genjutsu and become a puppet?”
