Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 579 The Struggle on the Verge of Death

These scenes seem to have taken a long time, but in reality, they happened in the blink of an eye.

Even the seal cast by the first generation has not yet been applied.

However, the dust has now settled!

boom!

With a deafening roar, an enormous torii gate, along with the ten-tailed beast's massive head and the Nagato on top, crashed down beneath it.

"Is it too late?"

With a solemn expression, the First Hokage looked at Nagato, then at Madara, unsure whether his belated sealing technique would be effective.

"Hopefully...it will work!"

On Madara's side, dust and smoke were rising due to the fall of the Myojin Gate, while on Nagato's side, the view was obscured by the fallen Myojin Gate.

"My senses are sealed and blocked; I don't know the specific situation over there!"

When they came to their elder brother's side, not only the Second Hokage, but even the First Hokage did not rashly approach Nagato.

Instead, they gazed into the distance, observing every move over there.

"Heretical Path: The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Destiny"

Just then, Nagato's trembling voice rang out, each word distinct and deliberate.

"Oh no!"

Upon hearing this voice, the First Generation's expression changed.

"Tobirama, I'm leaving this to you. I'm going to check on Madara!"

There was no point in staying here now, so the First Generation leaped and headed towards the direction where Madara was.

"Hopefully, we can stop him this time!"

As he walked, the First Hokage kept glancing in Madara's direction.

There, a white, steam-like plume of smoke billowed out.

"It seems they really have come back to life!"

With his own senses, the First Hokage could clearly perceive that Madara's previously lifeless chakra within his seal was beginning to change.

Slowly... it became vibrant again!

Without a doubt, Madara has regained his body!

"Heh, finally... finally..."

After briefly closing his eyes to assess his current state, Madara's figure reappeared in the same spot with a series of crisp sounds as the seal shattered.

"Hahahahaha!"

With his right hand gently touching his chest, feeling the hot blood and strong heartbeat, Madara couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This time, however, not a single clueless show-off dared to disturb his enjoyment.

"After planning for so long, now it's finally my turn to step onto the stage!"

……

On the other side, Nagato, who had just been pinned down by Myojinmon and subjected to the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, was now panting heavily.

"It seems... my days are numbered!"

He was panting and muttering to himself.

"We've done everything we could. Next..."

After moving his body a bit, Nagato felt that he could still move his arms a little.

The first seal not only sealed his chakra but also sealed away the means that controlled him.

It's a pity that if the time had been earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to use the Reincarnation Technique.

I can't use chakra right now, but I can still move my hands and feet.

"What do you want to do?"

Black Zetsu, who had just manipulated Nagato and used the Samsara of Heaven technique, saw that Nagato, who was about to die, was still causing trouble. His expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"What are we doing? We're destroying this eye, of course!"

With difficulty, Nagato tried to insert his fingers into his eye sockets.

This way, you can directly destroy this eye that doesn't belong to you.

"My life has truly been... pathetic! From beginning to end, I've been nothing more than a pawn, a sacrifice, in someone else's hands!"

"I suppose you all shared in some of the misery I've endured!"

Nagato was initially skeptical when Black Zetsu said that the eyes didn't belong to him, but after Obito took one of his eyes...

The feeling of relief he experienced physically confirmed this to him.

If that's the case, the deaths of his parents and Yahiko were very likely caused by these eyes.

In the final moments of his life, he planned to destroy the culprit who had ruined his life.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu immediately flew into a rage.

Do you know what you're doing?

This terrified Black Zetsu to the point of losing his mind.

If Nagato were to destroy this eye, wouldn't he be forced to watch his last hope vanish?

Does he really want to place his hopes of reviving his mother on Obito, that good-for-nothing?

Without any hesitation, and disregarding even the terrifying seal, Black Zetsu lunged directly at Nagato.

It wasn't that he didn't want to control the other person himself, but the seal of Ashura's reincarnation effectively isolated him from the chakra connection between him and Nagato.

"It's too late!"

Nagato glanced at Black Zetsu with his remaining eye, smiled nonchalantly, and gritted his teeth to speed up his movements.

He was too weak; he had reached the end of his life.

But even on his deathbed, he didn't intend to let the other party have their way.

"You want to destroy my eyes?"

On the other side, Madara, who had just been resurrected, calmed his turbulent emotions.

He stroked his empty eye sockets with one hand while receiving the signals transmitted from the unseen world.

Through the senses of my body and eyes, I can clearly see a slowly moving finger resolutely poking towards my eye. The movement is slow, but exceptionally determined.

Not far away, there was also a furious figure of Black Zetsu.

Although the memory was fragmented, it still etched itself into his mind.

"Heh, do you think I'd let you ruin a key part of my plan?"

As for Obito, he's already hidden in the Kamui dimension, and I can't find him for the time being.

But how could we allow Nagato to fall?

"I really am... a complete waste!"

With difficulty, he moved his finger in front of his eye, and just as he was about to do so, a familiar repulsive force came and knocked away the finger that was about to poke his eye.

Not only that, he could also feel that this eye, which did not belong to him, was now squeezing out the last bit of life force from his body.

This left him with no strength left to stop Black Zetsu, who had already reached him.

Because he was about to die!

"That was close!"

As Black Zetsu snatched the Rinnegan from Nagato's eye, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking how lucky he was.

If Madara hadn't held back a trick, it would have been too late for regrets by now!

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Glancing behind him at the approaching Tobirama Senju, Black Zetsu slowly merged his body into the Ten-Tails' body.

If it weren't for the lack of time, he wouldn't have been prepared to let Nagato go so easily.

As for why he was able to merge into the Ten-Tails' body, it has a lot to do with his vessel, White Zetsu.

This thing was synthesized using the Ten-Tails' chakra and Hashirama's cells. Given the Ten-Tails' size and the attributes of the opponent's God Tree, merging into the opponent's body was not difficult at all.
