"Indeed, you are not human; no one can survive after having their heart and head pierced!" Deva Path Pain said after glancing at Black Zetsu.
"Can you release him now?" Obito asked.
Deva Path Pain heard this and pulled out the three black iron rods from Black Zetsu's body.
Black Zetsu, who had climbed up from the ground, recalled the experience just now and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Don't be nervous, I won't attack you again. Speaking of which, although we reached an agreement to cooperate, you two never told me your objectives, did you?"
"And now you two suddenly disappeared for over a month. Can you give me an explanation?" Deva Path Pain asked indifferently.
Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Nagato's words. It turned out Nagato was only angry because they had disappeared for so long without a word. He quickly explained, "Pain, we just went to gather some intelligence. Please believe us, we truly want to cooperate with you."
Deva Path Pain frowned, signaling Black Zetsu to continue.
"Like you, we both want to end the chaotic Ninja World and bring peace to the world. However, our power is insufficient, and you possess the power of the Six Paths Sage, so you can fully join, or even lead us!"
Nagato didn't take Black Zetsu's words to heart, but hearing about peace, Nagato still manipulated Deva Path Pain to ask, "How do you plan to achieve peace?"
"Let me tell you that!" Obito interjected.
Nagato, through Deva Path Pain, glanced at Obito who had stepped forward, and his expression became solemn.
When they first formed their alliance, Obito introduced himself as Uchiha Madara.
Nagato had naturally heard the name Uchiha Madara; he was a terrifying existence who, along with Senju Hashirama, quelled the chaotic era and founded Konoha.
However, neither Nagato, Yahiko, nor Konan believed that the person in front of them was Uchiha Madara.
Leaving aside other things, if Uchiha Madara were still alive, he would be over 90 years old by now! How could he still have a full head of black hair?
However, even if this guy wasn't Uchiha Madara, he was still extraordinary.
Nagato could feel a terrifying Eye power from the scarlet Sharingan revealed through his mask.
Nagato had also met members of the Uchiha Clan, and the Eye power of this eye was clearly stronger than all the Uchiha Clan members he had seen.
It was precisely because of this that Nagato chose to feign compliance with them at the time, instead of directly driving them away.
Thinking of this, Nagato controlled Deva Path Pain and said, "Tell me your thoughts!"
"In my opinion, peace is born from Pain after letting the world experience it!"
"Peace born from Pain?"
"Exactly, people cannot understand each other through talk alone. Only Pain and despair can connect people. Only by experiencing the same Pain can they understand each other!"
The Masked Man's words plunged Nagato into silence; his words were completely contrary to what Nagato had always believed.
Nagato couldn't help but recall Yahiko falling beside him.
If Uchiha En hadn't saved Yahiko, he would probably agree with this guy's idea, right?
"How do you plan to achieve peace?"
"Our plan is to collect Tailed Beast, use them to develop new forbidden jutsu, and create Tailed Beast weapons. The Chakra of the Tailed Beast is terrifying; if this Chakra can be harnessed, it can acquire the power to instantly destroy a country."
"Destroy a country? How is this peace? This is clearly war!" Nagato's expression changed drastically; this kind of peace was not what he wanted at all.
"Without war, where would peace come from? We want humanity to first experience Pain and despair, to use human fear to suppress war, and to guide the world through Pain, leading it towards stability and peace."
Nagato fell silent once more; the Masked Man's words had a great impact on him.
Seeing Nagato waver, the Masked Man continued, "Think carefully, Nagato. If everyone could experience the Pain of their loved ones and friends falling beside them, who would still want to start a war?"
After a long period of contemplation, Nagato understood the Masked Man's idea.
In short, the Masked Man wanted the world to experience Pain and fear it, so that they would cherish peace and actively maintain it.
