69 Gedo Mazo

At that moment, a voice shattered the tranquility of the night, filled with concern: "Nagato, Satoru, what's wrong with you!"

Satoru and Nagato lifted their heads slightly, seeing Konan's figure quickly appear in the sky.

A pair of white wings emerged from the paper pieces spread across her back.

Konan's sudden appearance startled both of them.

Nagato's voice was weak: "Konan..."

Konan looked around and saw the destruction. Traces of anger appeared in her eyes, and she spoke angrily: "What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree last time? Why are you two fighting again!"

Her voice was full of reproach, but more concerned for both of them.

Nagato was about to explain but was interrupted by Satoru waving his hand.

He spoke with a deep voice: "Konan, let's go to Yahiko's place first."

"Satoru!" Konan's voice was full of dissatisfaction, and she uttered the name with clenched teeth, wanting to vent all her anger.

"Things aren't as you think, Nagato... He just experienced some unexpected situations."

Satoru stroked his eyebrow, then he put on a white eye mask, covering his gaze.

He knew that Konan's anger didn't come from him but from the sight of the destruction before them.

"Is that so?"

There was doubt in Konan's tone. She saw him wearing the eye cover provided by Nagato, and her inner anxiety eased slightly.

It seemed that there was no serious issue between the two of them. However, the chaos on the ground couldn't completely set her at ease.

Konan's gaze lingered on the small page for a moment, then she turned back to Satoru and Nagato.

Her eyes observed the two of them, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Anger, worry, trust, and hope intertwined, making it difficult for her to calm down. She knew now was not the right time to release tension.

"Satoru, Nagato, I want you to tell me what really happened." Konan showed seriousness, "Why is this place like this?"

Satoru spoke slowly: "Let's go to Yahiko's place and explain."

Konan had no choice but to nod.

She knew that even Satoru showed a rare serious expression this time, and everything wouldn't be that simple.

Soon, Satoru walked around and removed the Hiraishin marks around him one by one. He led Nagato and Konan to the threshold of the Amekage's office.

In the Amekage's office, when Yahiko heard Satoru's description of another consciousness in Nagato's eyes, his face became even more serious.

He knew very well that Nagato's Rinnegan must contain secrets, but now he was told that there was another hidden consciousness within it. This was undoubtedly a new and disturbing discovery.

"Indeed..."

Yahiko expressed his concern, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and instead asked, "So, how should we deal with this threat?"

Satoru said with a deep voice: "The person's consciousness has been completely eradicated. I suspect Nagato's abnormal behavior in the days before was caused by this hidden consciousness disturbance. That person might have unconsciously manipulated Nagato."

As these words came out, Yahiko and Konan's tense nerves slightly relaxed.

Nagato thought hard.

"So... Was I really preoccupied by that consciousness at that time?"

Nagato felt guilty.

He remembered his attack on Satoru, and his inner regret surged.

He actually attacked Satoru again!

Satoru placed his hand on Nagato's shoulder and continued: "Nagato."

"Huh?" Nagato snapped back to reality and looked at him confusedly.

"You said you suddenly had abnormal memories... That must have been the Kuchiyose no Jutsu."

Nagato nodded, his voice slightly weak: "Yes, the memory seemed to suddenly appear in my mind, and my body moved uncontrollably."

"What kind of Kuchiyose no Jutsu was it?" Satoru asked.

Nagato tried to recall the vague memory: "Gedo Mazo."

"Gedo Mazo..."

Satoru slowly walked to the window. The rain had stopped in some places, and the moon hung high in the sky.

He turned around and explained the discussion between Minato and Jiraiya.

When the relationship between Rinnegan and the Rikudo Sennin was mentioned, as well as the inseparable connection with the Bijuu, everyone's expression showed disbelief.

It was the first time they had heard that the Rinnegan was so closely related to the Rikudo Sennin.

Satoru continued: "Moreover, I just mentioned the existence on the moon similar to the Bijuu. Through my perception, I can confirm..."

He paused, seemingly arranging his words, "Gedo Mazo is exactly like the creature on the moon!"

Nagato was stunned, looking at him incredulously.

Satoru continued: "When you summoned Gedo Mazo, my Rikugan (Six Eyes) clearly sensed fluctuations in the moon, exactly the same frequency as the Gedo Mazo you channeled. That's why I blocked space, prohibiting you from using the Kuchiyose no Jutsu to summon that dangerous entity."
