Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 242 Madara Uchiha's Resurrection (Please Subscribe)

"As you can see, Nagato."

Fugaku Uchiha said without a trace of apology, "I've told you many times, don't trust anyone."

Whoosh!

Konan suddenly transformed into countless pieces of paper, scattering from Susanoo's hands before gathering together again around Nagato.

Once she returned to human form, Xiao Nan was only slightly injured, with some blood at the corner of her mouth and some minor crush injuries.

Konan rarely made a move in front of Fugaku Uchiha, and her paper jutsu was not exposed, so Fugaku Uchiha was unaware of the characteristics of her secret technique; it just so happened that she had just gathered chakra, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to escape.

"Xiao Nan, are you alright?"

Nagato stared intently at Madara Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha, then turned to Konan behind him and asked, "For someone to make Fugaku betray us so immediately, what that person said must be true."

Konan warily observed the enemy and said, "It's alright, Nagato, but these two might be difficult to deal with."

On the other side, after Fugaku Uchiha retreated to Madara Uchiha's side, Black Zetsu emerged from underground and slowly said, "It's a failure. Looks like we'll have to deal with the Rinnegan, Lord Madara."

"It's alright, it just takes a little effort. For someone who isn't from the Uchiha clan to have developed the Rinnegan to this extent is quite a talent."

Madara Uchiha said casually, showing that he didn't really think much of Nagato's strength. The only reason Nagato received a compliment was because he used the transcription seal method to create puppet clones using the basic abilities of the Rinnegan.

"Just watch from the sidelines."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha leaped forward and instantly rushed towards Nagato and Konan.

"Xiao Nan, be careful."

After Nagato finished speaking, he formed hand seals and controlled the six Paths clones to protect him, with the strongest one, Deva Path, at the very front.

Seeing Madara Uchiha charging towards him, the Deva Path clone also rushed forward quickly, then suddenly raised its palm and shouted at Madara Uchiha: "Shinra Tensei!"

A powerful repulsive force erupted instantly, a terrifying force that eliminated everything, sweeping outwards in all directions from the Heavenly Dao avatar as the center.

In the instant the repulsive force erupted, Madara Uchiha sneered, and his three-tomoe eyes instantly transformed into purple Rinnegan circles, followed by an equally powerful repulsive force.

Bang!

Rumble!

Two nearly identical invisible repulsive forces collided violently, producing a loud bang. After a brief two-second standoff, the two forces exploded, sending one of the figures flying backward.

Bang bang bang.

After the Heavenly Dao clone was sent flying backward, it rolled several times on the ground before being caught by the Asura Dao.

"Impossible, how come you also have the Rinnegan?"

Nagato stared in shock at Uchiha Madara, who was clad in armor. This guy had just used Shinra Tensei, and his Sharingan had transformed into the Rinnegan.

"The Rinnegan is the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan. You are nothing but an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. You have lived for so long relying on the Rinnegan I gave you. You should be satisfied, Nagato."

Madara Uchiha spoke slowly, without any hint of smugness or pride in having just knocked away a broken puppet.

As soon as the tension dissipated, he realized that Nagato in front of him had little fighting spirit; when the two forces were locked in a stalemate, he didn't even know to steady himself.

He actually expected the child in front of him to give him a surprise; it seems he was really overthinking it.

"The Path of Asura!"

"Animal Path: Spirit Communication Technique!"

Nagato formed hand seals to control the situation, and then the two Pains made their moves.

One person formed hand seals and summoned powerful summoning beasts one after another; the other person took off the Akatsuki's black and red cloud-patterned cloak, and his body quickly changed, revealing various weapons.

"roar!!"

Boom boom boom!

The summoning beast raised its head and roared, while the Asura Path continuously fired missiles from its arms, attacking Uchiha Madara.

Seeing this from afar, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of the Rinnegan, it has many abilities, and when combined, there are almost no obvious weaknesses. Moreover, Nagato's main body is protected by Konan, and he can be taken into the sky at any time.

Fugaku Uchiha then spoke up, "Do you need my help? Perhaps I can hold Konan back, leaving Nagato's main body unprotected."

"No need. Lord Madara doesn't like others interfering during battles, and he knows everything Nagato knows. It's just that Lord Madara prefers elegant combat."

Black Zetsu said that Nagato's skills were not enough to be Madara's opponent. Now all they had to do was wait for Madara to beat Nagato half to death, and then wait for Madara to revive.

The bombs from the Asura Path completely missed Madara Uchiha, and the summoned beast Madara saw only heaviness in his eyes. Having the Rinnegan as well, he immediately recognized that Nagato was controlling the summoned beast through the black rods on its body.

Knowing this, Madara Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to leap onto the summoned beast, and black rods also condensed in his palms, which he then pierced directly into the summoned beast's body.

The remaining summoned beasts were successively pierced by Madara Uchiha's black rods. Then he jumped down and formed hand seals to transfer chakra.

The four summoning beasts suddenly stopped, and Nagato was shocked to discover that he could no longer control them.

"Dispel the psychic spell!"

After completing the hand seals, Madara Uchiha sent the four summoned beasts back immediately.

Both the Six Paths of Pain and the summoned beasts were corpses controlled by the Rinnegan. As long as Madara Uchiha pierced them with the same black rods, he could use another stream of chakra to completely disable the puppet corpses.

For others, as long as they can control Pain and remove the black rods from his body, they can also cause Nagato to lose control of Pain.

"Looks like you've figured it out. Without your legs, you can only rely on these corpses. Once you lose control, you're completely powerless. I was being too serious, actually having expectations for a brat, even though I was the one who gave you your eyes!"

Madara Uchiha's tone was full of disappointment; this battle had left him with no desire to fight at all.

"Let's finish this sooner rather than later."

Click!

A massive amount of chakra surged from Madara Uchiha's body, rapidly condensing into bones and muscles, and soon forming a Susanoo fifty or sixty meters tall in front of Nagato.

However, this Susanoo is only two-faced and four-armed, without armor, and can be considered the third stage of Susanoo.

It's enough to deal with Nagato's fake Rinnegan.

In the ninja world, only a very few people are not afraid when facing Susanoo, but Nagato is not among them.

Swish!Swish!

The Susanoo conjured a chakra sword tens of meters long in its hand, and then swung it fiercely at Nagato.

Upon seeing this, Nagato controlled Pain's Deva Path to leap forward: "Shinra Tensei!"

boom!

The repulsive force collided with the chakra sword, instantly unleashing a terrifying impact. The chakra sword seemed to have cleaved through a transparent spherical eggshell.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Nagato's Deva Path Pain faced the same fate as before, tumbling backwards. Moreover, the powerful impact this time blasted away Nagato's main body, several of Pain's clones, and even Konan.

Madara Uchiha had already controlled Susanoo to adhere to the earth, so he only staggered backward one step, but the next second he continued to step forward, wanting to take down Nagato at the same time.

"Nagato, are you alright?"

After getting up, Konan rushed to Nagato's side; however, Nagato pushed Konan away and said to her with a serious expression, "Konan, find a chance to escape on your own. This enemy is more terrifying than before; he might really be Uchiha Madara."

After saying this, Nagato didn't even have time to give any other instructions before continuing to gather chakra, preparing to control Pain and use the final technique.

"Gathering chakra for a final desperate attempt? Forget about it!"

When Madara Uchiha saw that Nagato was trying to gather chakra on Pain, he controlled Susanoo to slash down with his sword.

Rumble!

This strike cleaved the earth into a trench hundreds of meters long and twenty or thirty meters deep; under this strike, Nagato didn't even have time to use Shinra Tensei to block it back.

The terrifying shockwave even blew Nagato and Konan away, unable to withstand the destructive power that was enough to shatter everything.

Even if the third stage of Susanoo is not as destructive as the Tailed Beast Ball, it is still not something Nagato could withstand at close range. If it had been the complete Susanoo just now, then with a full-force strike, Nagato, who was already crippled, might have been caught in the crossfire and died.

It's time to end!

Madara Uchiha thought to himself, then controlled Susanoo to come to Nagato's side, directly using Susanoo's arm to grab Nagato, and then turned and walked towards Black Zetsu.

"Release Nagato!"

Enraged, Konan used the Shikigami Technique to conjure paper wings behind her, while simultaneously creating numerous paper shuriken and explosive tags around her, which she then flew towards Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

However, the third stage of Susanoo has two faces and four arms, so it doesn't need to turn around at all and just throws a punch.

Bang!

Xiao Nan dodged the first blow, but was slammed away by the second punch, flying backward and creating a crater in the ground before falling silent.

Madara Uchiha merely glanced back at Konan before turning away and going straight to Black Zetsu, where he put Nagato down.

"She's passed out. You can do it, Black Zetsu."

Madara Uchiha said, "Nagato's heart also has a talisman, but he is currently unconscious and it seems he won't wake up anytime soon. It would be better to let Black Zetsu possess him and control him."

"I understand, Lord Madara."

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he slowly attached himself to Nagato like mercury, and then controlled him to start forming hand seals.

"The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life!"

After the last hand seal was completed, a Yama head suddenly appeared on the ground, and then a huge amount of life energy poured out from the Yama's mouth and entered Uchiha Madara's body.

laugh!

An immense aura and impact erupted from Madara Uchiha in an instant. The chakra aura generated during his resurrection was so powerful that even Fugaku Uchiha could barely withstand it.

"A terrifying amount of chakra"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Madara Uchiha's laughter emanated from the shockwave generated upon his resurrection. He couldn't help but cut a wound on his arm, from which bright red blood flowed out.

"Lord Madara, your Rinnegan."

After reviving Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu returned to White Zetsu and gouged out Nagato's two eyes, presenting them to Madara.

After striking the eye, Madara Uchiha gained immense power, and now he felt he could do anything.

"Next, I need to collect the tailed beasts, become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and then find Hashirama to collect the power of Sage Mode."

After sensing the powerful force within him, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but think that he possessed strength far greater than when he was alive. Even if Hashirama were to be resurrected, he would be unable to stop him.

Black Zetsu spoke up: "Lord Madara, what should we do next? Konoha probably knows about your resurrection now. They have the Nine-Tails and Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and they might have already resurrected the First Hokage to deal with you."

"Heh, it would be great if Hashirama could really be resurrected. In his Edo Tensei state, he can't possibly regain his full strength, which is rather boring."

Madara Uchiha chuckled and said, "Let's go to Konoha one last time to collect the Tailed Beasts. Let them gather their strength, and then they'll know what despair truly is!"

To revive the Ten-Tails, you only need to collect the Nine-Tails last; as for the other tailed beasts, there is no specific order of priority.

"The Three-Tails has been captured. After that, we can have the Edo Tensei form go to Sunagakure to capture the One-Tails. Next are the Six-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Eight-Tails. The Four-Tails and Five-Tails shouldn't revive for another two or three years, Madara-sama."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased, as he was told that he would have to wait another two years.

"Then let's get started. Black Zetsu, you, Fugaku, and the Edo Tensei go and capture the other Jinchuriki."

Madara Uchiha didn't plan to take action, but if there were things he couldn't handle, he would intervene in advance.

Just as the group was about to leave, Black Zetsu suddenly noticed that Nagato was still alive and exclaimed, "Lord Madara, this guy isn't dead yet."

"After all, they are selected members of the Uzumaki clan. If their vitality is not strong, they won't be able to unleash the power of the Rinnegan."

After all, he can gradually adapt and unleash the power of both Rinnegan, while Obito at his peak could only transplant one. If he transplanted two, he would lose himself in the power of the Rinnegan.

After saying this, Madara Uchiha left without looking back. Nagato was no longer worth a second glance. Staying here to eke out a living like a weed, until his life was slowly extinguished, was his final destination.

After Madara Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha left, Black Zetsu looked at Nagato and couldn't help but smile. Before burrowing underground, he said, "It's time for a puppet who's barely useful to leave the stage."

It took Konan quite a while to slowly wake up after Black Zetsu left.

"Nagato."

The first thing she did after regaining her senses was to search for Nagato's whereabouts.

------------

As night fell in Konoha, a barrier was erected in the Uzumaki family's bedroom to isolate sound and sight.

Uchiha Yoichi, slightly out of breath, asked, "Lady Kushina, you must have heard that Jiraiya has returned to the village after completing his mission, right?"
