Chapter 175 Nagato, you don't actually think you're a god, do you?
Language is an art; different arrangements and combinations of words can lead to different conclusions.
An didn't lie about a single word, but he selectively told only part of the truth and slightly rearranged the timeline of events and changed the cause-and-effect relationship. To Nagato, it sounded like a completely different story.
Anko is a vengeful person. Besides Itachi and Obito, doesn't Zetsu also have responsibility for the Uchiha Clan Massacre?
In other words, Jue still has some value now, otherwise An would have sold off all of Jue's little schemes!
Including his mother!
Let's sell a little bit now, just to add some trouble to the situation.
Nagato's face was grim as he scanned the surroundings. Finding no trace of White Zetsu, he was largely convinced.
The fact that Zetsu and Obito were close made him more wary.
However, Zetsu's intelligence capabilities were indeed very strong, and the large number of White Zetsu could also fill the gap in the Akatsuki's lack of lower-level combat power, which was very useful to the Akatsuki.
Therefore, he has always turned a blind eye to Jue's behavior and hasn't paid much attention to it.
However, after Obito's identity and intentions were exposed, Nagato lowered his guard against Obito. In addition, Zetsu's fighting strength was too weak to be a threat, so he also relaxed his attention to Zetsu.
But who would have thought that such an inconspicuous intelligence and logistics personnel would cause him such a huge mess today.
After this incident, he will surely be more cautious and begin to investigate Qi Jue's motives.
Many things on the other side cannot withstand scrutiny; the events on the moon alone are a very obvious flaw.
It's unclear how long it will take for the truth about Kaguya Otsutsuki to be revealed.
An gets excited just thinking about it.
To An's surprise, Nagato didn't ask why she went to the moon to steal the Hyuga family's little princess, but instead questioned An with great dissatisfaction.
"You knew about all of this, didn't you?"
Why didn't you report this to me beforehand?
"Huh?" An was taken aback, looking at Nagato with a puzzled expression.
"An, your eye technique is 'prophecy,' so you already knew everything that happened today, right?"
"But you didn't tell me."
"Because you wanted this person to come, right?"
"You crave his eyes, don't you?"
"I'm not unaware of the little tricks you've been up to in the dark, but I've pretended not to see them."
"On one hand, you healed my injuries and have done me a favor; on the other hand, you are very strong and are an important asset to the Akatsuki."
"So even though you forced Itachi to rebel and repeatedly tried to harm Obito, I still sided with you."
"But this favoritism is not without limits!"
"As long as your benefits to Akatsuki outweigh your drawbacks, I can tolerate your private behavior."
"But your actions this time went too far!"
"How could you conceal such important information?"
"Just for these eyes?"
"Look at Amegakure now, how many people have died because of this?"
"And these things could have been avoided."
"What the Akatsuki organization wants to do is deter all warmongers and bring peace to the ninja world!"
"Instead of becoming a tool for your personal gain!"
He roared angrily from the gate, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on An, his invisible aura pressing down on her as if to force her to compromise.
"Tools? Hah—it's ironic to hear that word come out of your mouth!"
An gave a cold laugh, but did not explain in detail.
He carefully put away the Tenseigan, stood up straight, and stared indifferently at Nagato.
"Yes, I already knew about what happened on the moon, and I know why Zetsu did it, but—so what?"
"You don't actually think these people in the organization are doing things for you for no reason, do you?"
"If everyone had their own agenda, who would willingly let themselves be bossed around?"
"He has a specific purpose, and staying by your side will enable him to achieve his goal."
"I have my own purposes, of course, and these eyes are my reward for doing things for you."
"As for the damage this will cause to the Land of Rain, hehe—"
"Konoha Village must pay the price for what the Konoha ninja did; that is only right."
"Then the Land of Rain must also bear the corresponding consequences for what the Akatsuki members have done. Is there a problem with that?"
"Nagato, you always talk about making others feel pain."
"What's wrong?"
"Now you can't accept it when others make you feel pain?"
"What?!" Nagato roared in fury. "Precisely because I have experienced pain, I will not allow pain to ever again befall the land of Amegakure!"
"Anyone who attempts to disrupt the peace and tranquility here will be punished by the gods!"
"The Land of Rain should not bear the consequences of anyone's actions!"
Faced with Nagato's accusations, An also became impatient. He rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Nagato, you don't actually think you're a god, do you?"
"If you were truly a god, you would easily defeat and suppress any attacking enemy, giving them no chance to resist."
"But what is the actual situation?"
"If it weren't for my help, you wouldn't even have been able to kill a Tenseigan ninja!"
"The Rinnegan is very powerful, but it's not a panacea."
"Admit it, you're not some god, you're just a slightly stronger ninja!"
"Eight Gates, Reaper Death Seal—there are too many ways to kill you in the ninja world."
"Before you resurrected the Ten-Tails and became its jinchūriki, you were far from being a god, not even the strongest in the ninja world!"
"Instead of blaming me, you should reflect on yourself. You've been planning this for so many years, so why haven't you been able to successfully revive the Ten-Tails yet?"
"How far are you from becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"
His words made Nagato's face turn ashen, and he became like a volcano about to erupt.
At the critical moment, pieces of white paper fell from the sky, forming the figure of Xiao Nan.
"Nagato, the situation in the village is very bad right now, and we need a lot of manpower and medicine support."
"Feng Hua Nu Tao has people and money, but he said that we promised him Feng Hua Xiao Xue, but we haven't caught her yet, so he refuses to provide support."
Nagato paused for a moment, gave An a deep look, then turned and walked into the village, leaving only one sentence echoing in An's ears.
"An, you will see it. I am the only god in the ninja world!"
"Soon, it won't be long."
"I hope so!" An shrugged indifferently, not bothering to remind him any further.
All the necessary clues have been given. Whether Nagato can escape his fate as a tool depends entirely on himself.
