Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 577 Black Zetsu (I have something to do today, so only one chapter)

"Nagato, things have come to this, you should just give up. I'll try and see if I can..."

The situation is now very clear; failure is inevitable. Jiraiya steps forward, wanting to make one last attempt to save the situation.

However, he wasn't very confident.

Putting aside everything else, the other figures alone are not obstacles that can be easily bypassed.

"First generation..."

Although he lacked confidence, Jiraiya knew that the only way to save Nagato was to place his hopes on the creator of the Will of Fire.

As for Toshiro, he didn't have too many illusions about the other party.

"You think that's the end of it?"

Before the First Hokage could react, Nagato, who seemed to have reached a dead end, let out a disdainful sneer.

"This war has only just begun!"

Although the Ten-Tails' actions have been sealed, it has now evolved into its second form, which presents the perfect opportunity for it to take its next step.

As for this opportunity, it was when he became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

If the Ten-Tails were in its normal state, it might have to put in some effort to become a Jinchūriki, but now, the First Hokage's seal not only restricts the Ten-Tails' movements, but also further suppresses its chakra.

This is convenient for me.

"Stop him!"

Upon seeing the seal in Nagato's hand, the First Hokage, who had been somewhat hesitant, suddenly changed his expression drastically.

He had seen that seal in the family's secret scrolls; it was a seal recorded alongside some Six Paths Techniques. Although he didn't know its specific function, judging from Nagato's current expression and his own intuition, he had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"Too late!"

Nagato wasn't too worried about the First Hokage's keen perception, because he had made preparations beforehand before casting the seal.

"Super Shinra Tensei"

A tremendous repulsive force emanated from him, originating from where Nagato stood, and surged outwards in all directions.

His true form could naturally use the unique ability of Shinra Tensei, a power exclusive to the Heavenly Path. However, during the battle with the others, he remained quite restrained, only deflecting some attacks and not displaying any overly exaggerated abilities.

The purpose was so that when he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he could use this ability to create a safe environment for himself.

Now that I've used it, the results are indeed very good.

"Oh no!"

Not to mention Jiraiya, even the First Hokage was momentarily caught off guard by this enhanced version of Shinra Tensei.

"Tobirama!"

Looking at his younger brother, the First Generation had a hopeful look in his eyes.

If Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique leaves a mark, it can sense the opponent's location within a short time and prevent Nagato from becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

"Is that not allowed?"

Unfortunately, all he received in response was the second-generation leader's bitter smile.

Clearly, Nagato was very wary of the Flying Thunder God Technique and was extremely cautious when the Second Hokage joined the attack on him.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch things take the worst possible turn?!"

After glancing around at his surroundings, the First Generation Leader felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that things were about to go wrong.

The people around him were relatively okay, but the others had been thrown hundreds of meters away by the sudden repulsive force and couldn't catch up at all.

……

"Nagato, your mission is over. It's time to get things back on track!"

Just when the First Hokage thought that Nagato becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki was irreversible, a strange figure suddenly emerged from under Nagato.

As soon as it emerged, a hand covered in black shadow reached out and grabbed Nagato's ankle.

"Black Zetsu, you really did have ill intentions!"

Nagato was somewhat puzzled as to how the other party had hidden inside the Ten-Tails and deceived his Rinnegan, but he was also somewhat prepared for its appearance.

"But do you think you can control me like this?"

Without hesitation, Nagato activated the Preta Path ability and began absorbing Black Zetsu's chakra.

At the same time, his other arm reached out from his shoulder and grabbed at Black Zetsu's head.

Clearly, he intended to use the abilities of the Human Realm to directly attack the opponent's soul.

"In this world, strength ultimately reigns supreme. Any schemes you concoct are futile against my dual Rinnegan!"

Ever since Obito's identity was exposed, this guy has been coming close to him and has revealed a lot of information about the "Eye of the Moon".

Nagato never trusted someone who was so prone to betraying their comrades.

Hehehe!

Faced with the ever-approaching deadly threat of Nagato, Black Zetsu showed no concern whatsoever; instead, he chuckled coldly.

"Your eyes?"

"What made you believe that these eyes were yours from the very beginning?"

"What...do you mean by that?"

An incredibly long arm extended from Nagato's shoulder and pressed directly onto Black Zetsu's head. Nagato coldly questioned him.

At the same time, the slight pressure applied to the palm conveyed a clear warning.

"What do you mean? It means exactly what it says!"

Completely ignoring Nagato's threat and showing no concern for the chakra being absorbed, Black Zetsu replied sarcastically, his body slowly emerging from under Nagato's feet.

"What...did you do to my body?"

With his eyes darting towards the direction of Black Zetsu, Nagato questioned him, his voice trembling.

"Oh, impressive willpower! They can even speak!"

It was still a bit surprising to see Nagato standing motionless in place like a puppet.

"As for what was done to your body, that goes back a long time!"

"However, now is not the time to explain these things to you."

"Those troublesome guys are coming, and things will get complicated if we drag this out too long."

As he spoke, he began to manipulate the chakra that Nagato had just absorbed into his body.

As he manipulated it, the seal in Nagato's hand began to change.

"Is this... reincarnation?"

As the holder of the Rinnegan, how could Nagato not know what he was doing?

Once this seal is cast, although it can restore the life of the recipient, the caster himself will soon become a dead man.

"How can someone be resurrected?"

"Naturally, it belonged to the original owner of the Rinnegan!"

At this point, Black Zetsu had no need to hide anything and directly stated that the Rinnegan did not belong to Nagato.

"From the very beginning, the Rinnegan never belonged to you. Instead, we secretly placed it in your eyes when you were a child."

"The purpose is to utilize your Uzumaki clan's constitution to nurture these eyes, and incidentally, to allow you to perform this ninjutsu, reviving its original owner."
