As everyone continued their discussion, the massive screen spanning the heavens kept playing.
[Looking at his parents lying motionless on the ground, blood flowing from their bodies, Nagato sobbed while gasping for breath.]
[His mouth opened wide as he struggled to breathe—then, in the next instant—]
["AHHH!!!" A furious roar burst from Nagato's throat. Tears streamed down his face, yet his eyes had turned into the purple Rinnegan!]
[A violent storm of chakra erupted, and the rain outside grew heavier and heavier.]
[When everything finally settled, Nagato slowly raised his head. In front of him lay the two Konoha shinobi—but for a moment, he couldn't recall what had happened.]
Senju Tobirama: "The purple Rinnegan… appearing in an eight-year-old boy? That's impossible!"
Naruto: "Purple Rinnegan? Is it that amazing? Even if it is, I'll still smash you!"
Kakashi: "The legendary eyes… a higher form than the Sharingan."
Uchiha Sasuke: "One day, I'll have eyes like that too!"
Naruto: "Sasuke, where are you right now?!"
Sakura: "Sasuke… is that you?"
Ōnoki: "The Rinnegan! Impossible!"
Fourth Raikage A: "A terrifying guy. I thought he was just the leader of some mercenary group—but now it's a completely different matter!"
Senju Hashirama: "The legendary eyes have appeared. No wonder Konoha couldn't stop him. Tsunade, don't take it too hard."
Senju Tobirama: "The power contained within those eyes is far too great. Ordinary people can't control it—so after awakening, the child fainted!"
Kakashi: "Can the Uzumaki clan even produce the Rinnegan?"
Senju Hashirama: "???"
Senju Tobirama: "???"
Minato Namikaze: "???"
Earlier, everyone had been too shocked by the appearance of the Rinnegan to consider identity.
But now that they thought about it—
Something didn't add up.
The Uzumaki clan was known only for their immense chakra reserves.
There had never been any precedent of an Uzumaki awakening the Rinnegan.
So what exactly was going on?
Senju Tobirama: "Madara, why aren't you saying anything? I suspect you're hiding something."
Uchiha Madara was utterly exasperated.
Compared to Hashirama, Tobirama's hostility toward him was on another level.
But the real problem was—
Every one of his guesses was frighteningly close to the truth!
Those eyes had been implanted by him into Nagato.
But there was no way he could admit that!!!
Uchiha Madara: "What do you want me to say? Those eyes are even stronger than the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. They've barely ever appeared, and no one knows how they awaken. What's there to say?"
Senju Tobirama: "No. You usually act like you're the strongest in the world. And now you admit something is stronger than the Sharingan so easily?"
Senju Hashirama: "Hmm, makes sense. Madara, your mouth is the toughest part of you—you wouldn't admit that so easily."
Uchiha Madara: "Are you two brothers insane?! I admit it and you say I have a problem—fine! Then I don't admit it! The Mangekyō is the strongest, alright?!"
Senju Tobirama: "You changed your stance so easily—you must be hiding something. That's not like you."
Senju Hashirama: "Hmm, little brother, your brain really works. I knew something felt off, hahaha!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
I'm hiding your—
What the hell is this screen?!
I can't even stay in peace in the Pure Land?!
Fortunately, at that moment, the white-framed screen dimmed, while the red-framed screen lit up!!!
As the heavyweights continued chatting, others began discussing among themselves.
Rock Lee: "The white screen just showed Nagato as the main focus. So what will the red screen show?"
Nara Shikamaru: "If the white side represents Nagato, then based on the current situation, the red side should be Naruto."
Akimichi Chōji: "Yeah, that makes sense."
Yamanaka Ino: "Are they going to show Naruto? He's our only hope right now."
Hyūga Hinata: "If it shows Naruto when he was little, then I…"
Hidan: "It's definitely going to be me! The Leader already appeared, so it's only natural for me, a member of the Akatsuki, to show up!"
Sasori: "By that logic, it's possible. A good opportunity to spread art."
Deidara: "It's me! Art is an explosion! Not those puppets—they have no soul!!!"
Sasori: "Explosions have a soul? Does Patrick Star have a soul?"
Deidara: "What Patrick Star?! Say that again!!!"
Sasori: "I'll say it once—everyone heard it. Even those in the Pure Land heard it."
Uchiha Itachi: "What's there to show about you? The left side showed Pain—maybe the right side will still be him…"
Orochimaru: "I originally wanted to see how Konoha was destroyed. Instead, we're being forced into this viewing… but I am curious what comes next."
Mei Terumī: "Didn't it say earlier this is a dual-world viewing? The white side corresponds to our world—so the red side should represent another world."
Ōnoki: "Another world… that sounds interesting. What kind of place is it?"
Konan: "Would the Akatsuki leader in that other world be as powerful as Nagato?"
Originally, everyone had been ready to watch the spectacle of Konoha's destruction.
But now, their interest had been completely captured by this viewing system.
Suddenly, a majestic voice resounded—
