Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 578 Obito Steals the Eye

"hehe!"

Suppressed by Hashirama's Myojinmon, Madara watched the commotion on the Ten-Tails' side from afar.

Upon seeing Black Zetsu appear, his eyes gleamed with a hint of anticipation.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Toshiro and Hashirama. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to escape that brat Nagato's control at all!"

"And now, although I'm sealed away by Hashirama, it's also kept me away from everyone's sight, giving me the perfect opportunity to manipulate Nagato!"

He chuckled twice, and the kaleidoscope pattern in Madara's eyes shifted, revealing the outline of the Rinnegan.

"Hmm, the puppet talismans I left behind weren't wasted after all!"

After sensing it for a moment, Madara couldn't hide the smug look in his eyes.

He held one hand up in front of him and began to manipulate the backup he had left inside Nagato's body many years ago.

As for Hashirama's Myojinmon, although it exerts a strong suppression on him, this suppression is very effective against him when he hasn't awakened the Rinnegan.

However, after activating the Rinnegan, it wasn't that it had no effect on him; it just meant that he was no longer bound by the seal to some extent.

"Now, it's time to make a substitution!"

As he spoke, a pale yellow chakra glow flickered around him. Clearly, he was preparing his method of resurrection.

"spot!!"

Although he was some distance away, his changes still alerted Hashirama Senju.

Looking back, the first generation's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

However, at this point, it was clearly too late for him to either stop Nagato or stop Madara.

However, he doesn't really intend to give up so easily.

With his hands forming hand seals again, and as a large amount of chakra was consumed, two enormous torii gates reappeared from the void, descending towards Madara and Nagato's heads respectively.

Especially on Madara's side, he not only used the Myojinmon again, but also consumed a large amount of chakra in an attempt to enhance the sealing power on Madara's side.

"Heh, Hashirama! Don't you understand? It's all beyond redemption now!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Madara's eyes as he glanced at the torii gate falling from the sky and the increasingly terrifying sealing power emanating from his body.

This kind of thing doesn't pose much of a threat to him at all.

……

"We can't wait any longer!"

Obito, who was secretly observing everything, was not only paying attention to the battle situation on Nagato's side, but also focusing on his own ancestor.

He was the first to notice Ban's movements.

"Now is the best opportunity!"

Without hesitation, his body disappeared from his hiding place with a ripple in space.

When they reappeared, they were already beside Nagato.

"Obito!"

As soon as they appeared, Black Zetsu, who was assisting Madara in controlling Nagato, immediately noticed their arrival.

His expression immediately changed drastically.

"What are you going to do?"

With a roar of shock and anger, Black Zetsu tried to buy some time.

Within his body, a strange chakra fluctuation, like an invisible ripple, silently touched Obito's body.

Of course, apart from Black Zetsu himself, no one present noticed anything amiss.

"It didn't work?"

Seeing that Obito's movements were completely normal, Black Zetsu's expression darkened.

"The doll controlled the talisman, but it failed!!"

Startled, Black Zetsu realized that Obito had likely removed the talisman from his body, but he wasn't without other ways to control him.

When Madara saved him, in addition to placing a talisman on his heart, he also tampered with the other half of the White Zetsu's body.

"I'll accept the Rinnegan!"

Black Zetsu was able to control Obito very quickly, but unfortunately, he made the mistake of choosing the puppet control talisman when initially selecting his method.

Obito's timing and location were extremely precise.

Furthermore, since he was still restricting Nagato's mobility, it was too late for him to regain control of Obito.

"stop!"

Black Zetsu watched helplessly as Obito extended two fingers and poked Nagato's eyes with them. His eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

Even Yuan's usually calm and hoarse voice became rapid and sharp.

"Hmm~"

He let out a muffled groan.

As a spray of crimson blood splattered, Nagato, already powerless, offered no resistance, allowing Obito to take the Rinnegan from his eye.

"It's a pity they didn't remove both eyes!"

Having succeeded in his attack, Obito looked at the black shadow spreading from the right side of his body and sighed.

He originally intended to remove Nagato's eyes, thus eliminating Madara's means of resurrection.

If that's the case, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki would be a sure thing.

Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, the things that erupted from him forced him to abandon this idea.

"However, this is for the best. Knowing that Madara has a backup plan is not bad either."

After saying this, feeling his body gradually stiffen, Obito gave Madara a mocking smile in the distance and disappeared from the spot.

"Damn it, that kid hid in the Kamui dimension!" Black Zetsu cursed angrily, then added, "Fortunately, one Rinnegan is barely enough!"

Having one of his Rinnegan taken by Obito was certainly very unpleasant, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

The only saving grace is that the other eye is still inside Nagato's eye. With this eye, there's no problem reviving Madara.

As for the eye in Obito's hand, let Madara deal with it.

"I...won't let you...get what you want!"

At first, she could still speak, but later she became unable to move and could only be manipulated by others.

When one of his Rinnegan was taken away, he suddenly felt his chakra, which had been out of his control, become active again, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

This gave Nagato, who had been completely despondent, a glimmer of hope.

"We can't just die here meaninglessly, no matter what!"

He already knew that he would not be able to fulfill Yahiko's dream alive today.

However, he hadn't been without considering the worst-case scenario. He just hadn't expected things to develop in the way they have now.

"Uh...ah..."

Gathering all his strength, Nagato, about to unleash the Rinne Rebirth technique, clenched his teeth. Due to the excessive force, a large amount of blood seeped from his back molars.

"Hmph, just a death throes!"

Neither Black Zetsu nor Madara in the distance paid much attention to Nagato's struggle.

"You'd better just focus on completing your task!"

Without Obito's ties, Nagato would be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

Aside from becoming a sacrifice for the resurrected Madara according to their plan, they had no other fate.
