Nagato, who had been impassive, looked at Obito with a flicker of interest.
"The Rinnegan's purpose? What purpose?" Nagato asked.
He had learned from his teacher, Jiraiya, that he possessed the Rinnegan. Jiraiya had also told him that he was the Child of Prophecy who would bring change to the Shinobi world and hoped he would use the Rinnegan wisely.
Obito smiled inwardly. He wasn't afraid of Nagato not believing him. He was afraid of Nagato remaining silent.
"The Rinnegan is the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor of Shinobi. Legend has it that it holds the power to create and destroy, the ultimate eyes that control life and death."
Obito said in a deep voice.
Shin, watching Obito's performance, was impressed. Obito had truly embraced his role as a villain.
He knew Obito used to be a goofy kid. Now he was firmly on the path of a villain. Madara had chosen his pawn well. Shin was stronger than Madara, But when it came to manipulating people, even he had to admit that Madara was superior.
Yahiko frowned at Obito but didn't interrupt him.
Even if Obito was trying to deceive Nagato, Yahiko believed he could foil Obito's plan as long as he was here.
"Nagato, only the Rinnegan can bring peace to the Shinobi world. Don't you want to bring peace to the world?"
Obito asked after his speech.
Yahiko was almost moved by Obito's words. His goal was to achieve peace.
Nagato's heart stirred. This was Yahiko's wish, and Yahiko's wish was his wish. He was moved by Obito's words.
"How can I achieve world peace?" Nagato asked the masked man.
"It's simple. Use overwhelming force. In the face of absolute power, no one will dare start a war. That's how you achieve peace!"
Obito saw that Nagato was about to be persuaded and pressed on.
"That's nonsense!" Yahiko interrupted before Nagato could respond.
This masked man's method of achieving peace was completely different from his.
Yahiko wanted people to understand each other, communicate with each other, and resolve all conflicts peacefully, not through violence.
"Even if peace is achieved through violence, it's a false peace. Only through communication and understanding can the Shinobi world become one big family. That's true peace."
"How naive. You must have never experienced the harsh reality of the world."
Shin couldn't help but comment. He knew Yahiko was naive, but he didn't expect him to be this naive.
Yahiko glared at Shin angrily. He felt Shin was mocking his dream.
Shin was indeed mocking him. How naive could he be to have such a dream? That kind of peace was a childish fantasy. It would never happen.
Conflicts between people couldn't be resolved through communication alone. If they could, there wouldn't be any wars.
Yahiko, a war orphan who'd grown up amidst violence, having such a dream was ironic.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't mock my dream!" Yahiko yelled at Shin.
"Why not? Your ridiculous dream deserves to be mocked," Shin said disdainfully.
Shin wasn't trying to be cruel, but Yahiko's dream was simply too ridiculous.
"If you really want to achieve world peace, deterrence through force is the way to go. At least it can achieve temporary peace."
If they wanted peace, Shin thought deterrence was more reliable than Yahiko's method.
As for achieving peace through communication and understanding? That was impossible, unless everyone in the world was as naive as Yahiko.
Madara's plan to trap everyone in a dream with Infinite Tsukuyomi was too extreme. It wasn't peace; it was destruction.
Of course, Shin didn't care about peace. Whether it was peace or chaos, it wouldn't affect his life.
"I'll never agree with that." Yahiko glared at Obito and Shin with hostility.
To him, neither the masked man nor Shin was a good person.
Shin was the Reaper of the Shinobi World, rumored to have killed tens of thousands of people. Well, tens of thousands was an exaggeration. Although Shin had killed many people, it wasn't that many. It was just propaganda to discredit him.
Obito scowled inwardly at Yahiko's stubbornness, wishing he could kill Yahiko.
"If you're trying to use us, then leave. I'll achieve world peace with my own power," Yahiko said, issuing an eviction order.
"What a dumb dream. Go back to sleep and dream about it."
Shin stood up and left. He didn't want to stay with this naive idiot any longer. He thought Yahiko's dream was idiotic. Even Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi was more realistic.
In the Shinobi world, how could you solve problems without violence? How could you achieve peace without force?
There were constant conflicts even among average people, let alone ninja who wielded power.
Obito hesitated for a moment after seeing Shin leave, then turned to leave as well.
He realized his plan had failed. With Yahiko around, there was no way to sway Nagato.
Before leaving, he turned back.
"You can't achieve peace . Nagato, think about it. Only the power of the Rinnegan can deter the Five Great Villages and achieve true peace."
After saying that, Obito left, leaving Nagato deep in thought.
"Nagato, don't tell me he convinced you?" Yahiko asked, looking at Nagato with concern.
"Nagato, Remember, violence solves nothing. It only perpetuates hatred and conflict. It's meaningless." Yahiko looked at Nagato seriously. He didn't want Nagato to be swayed by Obito's words.
"I know, Yahiko. I'll help you achieve your dream," Nagato said with a smile. He only smiled when he was with Yahiko. It was clear they shared a special bond.
Yahiko looked at Nagato and nodded with relief. He was glad Nagato hadn't been deceived.
