[Naruto continued shouting, saying he would bring peace to the Hidden Rain.]
[Nagato was completely moved by Naruto, starting to call him brother and entrusting Naruto with his and Yahiko's ideals. He also used the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth to revive the fallen in this battle, ultimately exhausting his life and passing away.]
[The effect of the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth was powerful, directly reviving everyone who had died in this battle.]
Watching such a dramatic scene, everyone widened their eyes.
Among them, Orochimaru said to Jiraiya, "I have a bold idea."
They were indeed good friends, and just by saying that, Jiraiya knew exactly what Orochimaru was thinking.
"You don't mean... you want to make Nagato our tool for resurrection, do you?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Orochimaru didn't deny it, as that was exactly what he was thinking.
"What's wrong? Setting aside whether Nagato would agree, using the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth requires a life sacrifice."
"It's just life. Can't we revive him with a clone body?"
Orochimaru's words left Jiraiya speechless.
Indeed.
Life was nothing compared to the Resurrection technique.
"Orochimaru, we already have the Resurrection technique. Why do you still need the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth?"
The Third Hokage was somewhat puzzled.
Since both methods revive, what's the difference between Clone Resurrection and the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth?
"Old man."
Hearing the Third Hokage's question, Orochimaru secretly curled his lip before continuing, "Making clones also costs money. The clones need to develop quickly and retain as much of their power as possible after resurrection. This requires a large sum of money."
The Third Hokage wasn't very clear about this matter.
Since he handed over power to Jiraiya, he rarely got involved in the affairs of the village.
He only knew that the clones cost a lot of money, but didn't know exactly how much.
"So what you're saying is, after we have the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth, we only need to clone Nagato's body and then use this resurrection technique to bring back the people who were reincarnated with IReanimation Jutsu?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
To be honest, after knowing Orochimaru's plan, Jiraiya was quite tempted.
The village's development couldn't do without money.
If they could save money on cloning and use the saved money for other things, it would be a good thing for the village.
"No, wait. Since cloning costs a lot of money, why did you still make so many clones of Danzo?"
"Well..."
Orochimaru glanced at the Third Hokage.
It was the old man who had asked him to clone more of Danzo's bodies, not his idea.
"The clones of Danzo are different from other people. Since we don't need to consider their development cycle, nor worry about the limit of their strength after being resurrected, they are like the worst quality clones. The cost of one normal clone could make a lot of Danzo clones."
"It's too early to talk about this now. Everything depends on whether Nagato agrees."
Jiraiya waved his hand.
For Orochimaru's plan to be successful, it needed Nagato's cooperation.
Currently, Nagato and they were still in an adversarial stage. Until Nagato collected all nine tailed beasts' chakra, Jiraiya didn't have much confidence in being able to persuade Nagato.
Should he tell Nagato, "Your Rinnegan actually belongs to Uchiha Madara, and the whole tailed beast capture thing is just a lie"?
A person like Nagato, who had barely read any books, would never believe that.
In his mind, the Rinnegan was something he had since he was young.
The plan to capture the Tailed Beasts was also something he decided.
Nagato would never believe these so-called truths.
"This is just my idea. If it succeeds, that's great, if not, it doesn't matter."
Just as Jiraiya nodded, thinking Orochimaru was being reasonable this time, he heard him continue: "I just need the Rinnegan. Whether Nagato agrees or not, it doesn't matter."
One could only say, Orochimaru truly lives up to his reputation.
He doesn't care at all about Nagato's life or death.
In his eyes, the Rinnegan naturally comes with the ability of the Six Paths Technique.
All he needs to do is find someone who isn't afraid of death and implant the Rinnegan into them.
The rejection of bloodlines doesn't matter to Orochimaru at all.
Anyway, it leads to death, so whether there's rejection or not is irrelevant.
"It's impossible. Even if Nagato joins Konoha, I won't let you take his Rinnegan."
"Hehe, that's hard to say."
At that moment, Orochimaru confidently licked his lips.
He still had some confidence in persuading Nagato to give up the Rinnegan.
"It all depends on whether you can convince Nagato to return to Konoha, Jiraiya!"
[The above dialogue left me, the angel of the Hidden Rain (Konan), speechless.]
[You look like you and Naruto have become close or something.]
[Wanting to speak, but in the end, saying nothing, only… (dot dot dot).]
[Naruto, seeing this, could only… (dot dot dot).]
[The whole conversation made it feel like Nagato realized he owed a lot of people, suddenly regretted it, and then embarrassed himself.]
[But after a bit of analysis, it's somewhat understandable.]
[Konan then quickly took Nagato and left. The Hidden Rain and Konoha were destined to have bloody battles, and after this, Konan would no longer be happy.]
[In a better light, Nagato sacrificed himself to save Konan and achieved his own redemption.]
[To put it bluntly, it's a dignified suicide out of guilt.]
[After this major event, up until the Fourth Ninja War, Nagato was revived through Edo Tensei and made his return. After seeing Naruto standing strong on his own, he fully agreed with Jiraiya's first work and gave his own second work an average rating.]
[He hoped that Naruto, as the final chapter of the third work, would have a perfect ending.]
[Thus, the tragic figure of Nagato in the ninja world, was completely wrapped up.]
[Here, both I, the reviewer, and many of my water friends sincerely wish that one day, Nagato will become a fine young man who can stand tall.]
[Alright, the video on Nagato and Konan's overview ends here.]

[See you in the next video, don't miss it!]
After watching the video, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, when talking with Senju Tobirama, mentioned Nagato's Rinnegan.
At the same time, Jiraiya also told Tobirama about Orochimaru's crazy ideas.
Tobirama didn't comment much. Their side didn't have much demand for resurrection techniques.
Since they developed cloning techniques, they only revived Senju Hashirama once.
He did want to bring back his parents and a few younger brothers, but he couldn't find their remains.
Without their bodies, it was impossible to use Edo Tensei to revive them with their souls.
Without the souls in the Edo Tensei bodies, resurrection wasn't possible.
