Chapter 207: It Seems You Know Nothing
Chapter 207: It Seems You Know Nothing
"Infinite Tsukuyomi, what is the Moon Eye Plan?" Pain asked, each word heavy with intent.
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue turned to face Pain, his expression unreadable. "You, the owner of the Rinnegan and founder of the Akatsuki, don't know?"
Why should I know? Pain wondered, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Before he could voice his thoughts, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue continued, "Then why are you capturing the tailed beasts? What is your true purpose?"
To create the ultimate tailed beast weapon, to conquer the ninja world, and bring about true peace, Pain thought instinctively.
But he kept these thoughts to himself. Not only was the tailed beast capture plan far from complete, but now was also not the time to reveal his ultimate goal.
Moreover, he sensed that Feather-Robed Xuan Yue knew something about the Rinnegan that he didn't, and it intrigued him. He knows a secret about the Rinnegan, one that I'm unaware of. Could it be that his goal is not the tailed beast weapon, but something called the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Moon Eye Plan?
Pain's expression turned pensive for a moment as he considered these new revelations. Even if I don't understand the specifics of what he's talking about, why am I, the owner of the Rinnegan, unaware of these things? Could Feather-Robed Xuan Yue be misinformed, or is he deliberately trying to mislead me?
"It seems you know nothing," Feather-Robed Xuan Yue said, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth as he noticed the change in Pain's demeanor.
Indeed, Pain, who considered himself a "god," had been kept in the dark this entire time, nothing more than a tragic pawn in the hands of Uchiha Obito.
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue's decision to bring up the Moon Eye Plan served two purposes—he was genuinely curious to see Pain's reaction, and it also fit the persona he had established for himself.
Ever since witnessing the "Moon Eye" plan inscribed on the Uchiha tablet, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue had become intrigued. The world under the Infinite Tsukuyomi was very much in line with his expectations.
And so, after much contemplation, he had decided to implement the "Moon Eye" plan himself. Even if the Akatsuki was already collecting the tailed beasts and their leader possessed the Rinnegan, it was highly likely that they were also working towards the "Moon Eye" plan. Nonetheless, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue was determined to seize control.
After all, there could only be one master of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and given his personality and status, he would never relinquish control to anyone else.
And so, the stage was set for the current confrontation.
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue had honed his acting skills through countless encounters with the system, and feigning ignorance about the Moon Eye Plan was child's play to him.
Pain's expression darkened as he heard those words.
'You know nothing. You know nothing.'
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue's mocking, pitying, and disdainful words echoed in his mind.
He turned to face Feather-Robed Xuan Yue once more, his gaze intense. Through their eye contact, Pain felt as though he were being judged and found wanting, seen as nothing more than a pitiful insect.
A pitiful insect?
Pain, who had long considered himself a "god," felt a surge of anger at being looked down upon in such a manner for the first time.
In that moment, a torrent of chakra flowed through his cold body, channeled through the black rods. Pain lifted his head, his purple, spiral-patterned Rinnegan eyes exuding immense pressure as he glared at Feather-Robed Xuan Yue. In a cold voice, he asked, "I'll ask you one last time. What is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and what is the Moon Eye Plan?"
No one could view him as a pitiful insect. Even if someone dared to think that way, he would grip them by the neck and force them to change their mind.
He had to know the truth behind the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Moon Eye Plan! He had to uncover how much had been hidden from him all this time!
Uchiha Madara!
Pain's thoughts turned to the man who had helped him develop the Rinnegan and played a significant role in the rebuilding of the Akatsuki.
"And your Rinnegan...I shall take it for myself."
As his words landed, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue wasted no time. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Pain, his fingers outstretched as if to grasp something insignificant.
Pain made no attempt to dodge. The purple whirlpools in his Rinnegan eyes stirred slightly.
"Shinra Tensei!"
An incredibly powerful repulsive force burst out from Pain, radiating from his very being.
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue, being the closest, was the first to be flung back.
Soon, as he flew through the air, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue twisted his waist and lowered his body, his feet digging into the ground, creating a twenty-meter-long furrow before he finally came to a stop.
"As expected of the Rinnegan," Feather-Robed Xuan Yue remarked calmly, dusting off his feet as he spoke.
He had intentionally faced the Shinra Tensei to test his current strength against it.
And now he knew that the Rinnegan, the symbol of the mighty Otsutsuki clan, was indeed formidable.
Although he had escaped unscathed, he was still sent flying.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, amidst the swirling dust, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue heard the whizzing sound of approaching projectiles.
A barrage of small missiles was hurtling towards him at breakneck speed, leaving him with no time to dodge.
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue remained calm and extended his hands, swiftly grabbing the incoming missiles. They landed in his palms, and with a quick squeeze of his fingers, he detonated them.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
A series of explosions reverberated in his hands, but when the smoke cleared, Feather-Robed Xuan Yue simply brushed his hands together, revealing only a slight charring with no sign of injury.
"If that's all you've got, this battle will be over soon," Feather-Robed Xuan Yue stated matter-of-factly, a gust of wind carrying away the dust that had obscured his vision.
Pain, his expression grave, fixed his gaze on Feather-Robed Xuan Yue.
Never before had someone taken a direct hit from the Shinra Tensei at such close range and emerged unscathed. Feather-Robed Xuan Yue was the first.
In the past, even powerful opponents like Kakuzu and Orochimaru, the members of Akatsuki he had subdued by force, and the jinchuriki, had all been affected by the Shinra Tensei. They had either submitted or been defeated utterly.
"As expected of a man renowned alongside Uchiha Madara. Since that's the case..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tendrils of white smoke appeared around Pain, and from within emerged the Six Paths of Pain—Hell Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Asura Path, Preta Path, and Naraka Path.
The six figures, clad in black and red cloud patterns, seemed to blend with the smoke as they advanced.
The Six Paths of Pain had arrived.
After the initial clash, Longmen, keenly aware that his previous opponents paled in comparison to Feather-Robed Xuan Yue, wasted no time and went all out.
At that moment, the Deva Path stood at the forefront, his gaze fixed on Feather-Robed Xuan Yue as he declared, "After I capture you, I will extract the truth about the Moon Eye Plan from your soul."
Feather-Robed Xuan Yue smiled lightly and replied, "That's too much trouble. You'll probably never achieve that in your lifetime."
"How about I find your true self and then reveal the truth to you in person?"
