”Yo! Nagato, Konan. Now, we don't really need to fight do we.” After Rafi arrived in their hiding place. He said helplessly after seeing Konan's battle stance. Rafi quickly changed his Byaku-Mangekyo to a Byakugan with three tomoe inside it.

”What do you want? Looks like you do have a Sharingan, Tobi.” Nagato said puzzledly after he saw Rafi's mutated Sharingan.

”Just a bit of talk. Beside that, I just want to see Konan.” Rafi said lightly as he then looked at an alert Konan gently.

”What talk is there between us, after you have foiled our own plan, the Eye of the Moon.” Nagato said after looked at Konan and him thoughtfully.

”...I am not him, if you don't believe me, then just do as you see fit. Of course if you want another battle, I will also accompany you.” Rafi said calmly as he looked to Nagato fearlessly.

”Nagato, let's just fight him! He is just a traitor!” Konan was incensed seeing him looked fearless even in front of her and Nagato.

”Wait, Konan. Let's just hear what he want to say. We can decide it after hearing him.”

”...yes, Nagato.” Konan decided to follow Nagato's suggestion as she calmed down, though she was still wary of Rafi.

”What Tobi said to you aren't the complete truth. Even if he self-proclaimed to be Madara Uchiha, but actually he is not him. Just another individual that got manipulated by Madara, like you, Nagato.

The Eye of the Moon plan you know is only a part of 'his' bigger plan. The real Eye of the Moon is only a fake peace world, created by means of a powerful genjutsu enforced upon the world wide through the moon above. Do you think that is the peace you and Yahiko seek for, Nagato?”

”...what do you mean?!” Nagato and Konan were shocked after hearing him. Nagato asked him with sinking sound while Konan looked pensive.

After a brief silence, Rafi told them about Madara's goal, Infinite Tsukuyomi, the real Eye of the Moon plan. How to reach it by collecting all Bijuu's chakra inside Gedo Statue. And how Madara manipulated Tobi(Obito) in his childhood. After his passing, Tobi inherited his will and became a fake Madara as he also controlled things from behind the scenes, all to follow the true Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

”Your Rinnegan is the crucial thing, Nagato. Madara implanted his own awakened Rinnegan to you as you have large amount of chakra, owing to your Uzumaki bloodline. Although, it seems Rinnegan's consumption is greater after looking at your condition. Even after he died, he also left precaution in the form of Zetsu to adjust things slightly, if unexpected events happened.”

”...why are you telling us all of this?” After thinking it through, Nagato said while looked at him calmly.

”I just want to see whether you could make a choice of your own. Unlike Naruto, you gave up your vision of peace after Yahiko's death, like how Tobi was after her beloved's death.

Naruto...although his parents were sacrificed theirselves for Konoha, but he was ostracized and hated by the villagers as the Nine-Tails jinchuriki. Even after that, he kept to strive forward to proof himself. Even when his bestfriend betrayed him, he still believed him and keep trying to redeem him back. He didn't run away from his setbacks and keep being himself while bearing all his sadness inside him.

Although you have destroyed his village, killed his Sensei, and he may still hate you, but he will not harm you. As it will only cause the cycle of revenges to repeat. He is someone that believes Jiraiya's vision of peace could be achieved. Even if the way there might be hard, riddled with pains and thorns, he will not give up easily. Unlike you that gave up on Jiraiya's vision, Nagato. Do you have the same courage to face your pains like Naruto, Nagato?”

””...””

”Well, looks like they've arrived here. I will be going first. You can think it through after talking with Naruto. Just...don't forget your initial spirit, Uzumaki...Nagato.” Rafi said calmly as Nagato and Konan watched him in silence as he entered Kamui.

Seconds later, Naruto and Hinata appeared in front of Nagato and Konan. They looked bewildered upon finding only Nagato and Konan there, with Rafi was nowhere to be seen.

”You have come, Uzumaki Naruto. Come, let me hear your answer. Let me see whether that man's words is true.” Nagato said as he looked at Naruto with a bit of complicated feeling.

After some silence, Naruto looked deeply at Nagato. He then answered Nagato with conviction as he was accompanied by Hinata's gentle gaze.

... ...

After teleported outside, Rafi changed his Akatsuki cloak into a grey robe as walked slowly in Konoha's direction.

'[Claire], why don't I have a six-paths Sage mode like Hagoromo, even when our bloodline is similar?'

[This world's nature energy is unique to be able producing a Chakra fruit. Sage mode could only be obtained from training. Bloodline only grants an easier chance for acquiring it, but Host needs to learn it himself.]

'Sigh. Can I just buy the six-paths Sage training manual from you [Claire]? Oh, and add Edo Tensei technique if possible.'

[It will be 35,000 Points Host.]
