So I've said this once already as a reply but I'm going to say it again for anyone who missed it. No one know how to get Rinnegan, no one know how Nagato got Rinnegan, no one knows if you need to be an Uchiha or if simply being from the same line as the So6p is enough. I know tobi said that he gave nagato his Rinnegan but lets be real Tobi says alot of things Like (oh gee let me think) I'm Uchiha Madara (cleary a lie) because now he says I'm no body, so lets not go disrespecting other ppls theorys calling them morons because their theories are no less valaid than yours because they are just theories from all of us NO ONE KNOWS but Kishi
There's a difference between lying about your identity to fool the entire world of Shinobi into thinking you're alive, and lying to someone you're about to kill about doing something that has no real bearing on anything.
Why would it matter if he really did or didn't give Nagato his Rinnegan? How does that affect Konan in any way? He flat out told her that 10 minutes before he killed her. However, the part about being Uchiha Madara is something he's been telling people for
years, and it's something he did to maintain military advantages.
So yeah, while it's hard to believe anything he says, there are definitely things he has absolutely no reason to lie about. He told Sasuke about Itachi and Konoha, which turned out to be true. At the same time he told Sasuke that Izuna died, which is also true.
However, he hasn't said a word (and he doesn't need to) about Izuna being alive still, having been brought back to life at some point.
There are a lot of things that don't add up, a lot of things that still need Kishi's explanation, and one of those things is the Rinnegan and how Nagato really got it. In one chapter we see Nagato tell Naruto a story about how he got it, which is 100% pure recollection of a memory that happened many many years prior.
Then we have Tobi, almost 50 chapters later, telling Konan that HE gave it to Nagato. We know quite a bit about the Uchiha lineage. We know that only Uchiha can naturally develop Ocular powers such as Sharingan, Mangekyo, and eternal Mangekyo.
We know that Byakugan is a Uchiha bloodline limit that is only present within one family of Uchiha, the Hyuuga. We know that Nagato isn't a Uchiha. We know that Senju don't have ocular powers, because those were given to the Uchiha.
So tell me, why would it make sense that Nagato just happened to 'awaken' the Rinnegan, when he's not an Uchiha, when he had no ninja ability at the time, and we have someone specifically stating that HE'S the reason why Nagato had the Rinnegan?
Until Kishi explains either possibility further, you have to go with the one that makes more sense, which is that Tobi gave it to him.
one more thing if you say something back it up with the facts not just your theories the people who i read the most always show evidence with they say and back up their theories with facts not oh on Nagato's memories were genjutsu induced and he does not know his own past with not evidence to support that at all.
I don't typically provide links to information when I am writing up a big long paragraph because the info is easily accessible to anyone who wants to verify something. If I posted those links, then my posts would take up 2x as much room.
I can't prove that Nagato was under a genjutsu, but if Tobi was involved (Sharingan user who can use genjutsu) in giving Nagato the Rinnegan, it's entirely possible. Much more possible than Nagato just 'awakening' it on his own, with no formal training, and being of the wrong heritage.
Think about it. Madara and Izuna were of the most powerful Uchiha to ever live. They were the very first Uchiha to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan, which is something only a very few Uchiha have done since then (Itachi, shisui, Sasuke). Uchiha Madara only awakened Rinnegan AFTER many many years of being the leader of his clan, after his Brother had died, AND after engaging in a huge battle with Hashirama Senju.
If it takes the most powerful Uchiha such extenuating circumstances to awaken the Rinnegan, and NO OTHER Uchiha has done so since then, why would it make sense to you that Nagato, being a small child without Uchiha bloodline limits, just happens to awaken it?
Plus, all the signs of it being transplanted are there.
haha... itachi lied to sasuke again.... after they force kabuto to cancel edo tensei... itachi's soul will be release in the living realm and back to hell.... their would be no time to talk...poor sasuke..
I think the part you're missing, is that Kabuto CAN'T release Itachi from Edo Tensei. If he were able to, he would have done it already, instead of facing off against Itachi AND Sasuke at the same time.
On top of that, those who have been summoned by Edo Tensei, can be released of their own free will, once their soul is at peace. The entire reason why Itachi is trying to stop Edo Tensei, is to protect Konoha from Madara Uchiha. THAT'S the person he's trying to release, not himself.
