Kakuzu spoke calmly. As a bounty hunter, he believed he knew about all the strong people in the ninja world, but apart from the guy who used the Flying Thunder God Technique and the so-called Thunder God, he had never heard of this group of people.

If these people weren't particularly strong, it wouldn't be a problem, but the strength they inadvertently displayed was enough to terrify Kakuzu!

"To be precise, no ninja from the five great ninja villages has set foot in Amegakure so far."

Upon hearing Kakuzu speak, Nagato, controlling Pain, added that Nagato actually believed it was best to keep the five areas in their original state, but for some reason, those guys left their assigned areas after completing their plans.

It seems that they don't believe the five great ninja villages can successfully enter the heart of Amegakure before sealing the Nine-Tails.

"That's really terrifying."

Kisame Hoshigaki calmly added that the thought of someone with such strength telling him directly that Madara Uchiha's true identity was Obito Uchiha made Kisame feel a chill run down his spine.

What on earth are those guys trying to do?!

"So what exactly is their purpose? Logically speaking, they have absolutely no reason to cooperate with us!"

Sasori, controlling the puppet, looked at Pain, who was being controlled by Nagato. The strength those guys displayed was enough to directly seize the Rinnegan and collect the Tailed Beasts themselves. To put it bluntly, there was absolutely no need for them to play around with the Akatsuki members.

"The purpose is to verify the results of their research, but as for the specifics, I don't know!"

This time, Nagato didn't fool these people. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was truly nowhere to be found. If we disregard the Eight-Tails, the Gedo Mazo was already in its complete form.

The octopus leg representing the Eight-Tails' chakra is sufficient. In the current situation, there is no need to search the world for the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. It would be better to simply revive the Gedo Mazo in this form!

Now that the Gedo Mazo is about to be resurrected, there is no need to keep it a secret from the Akatsuki members. Under the current circumstances, the Akatsuki members have no choice but to stand with him.

"What a bunch of lunatics."

Deidara made the final decision, providing the most fitting description, which was accepted by most people.

The process of sealing the tailed beasts continued amidst the ongoing rain in Amegakure. As the icy and snowy areas became muddy, the five Kage could clearly feel that the previously daunting cold was becoming less unbearable.

"set off!"

Tsunade stared intently at the central building of Amegakure. Two days had passed since Naruto Uzumaki was taken away, and it was now uncertain whether he was still alive.

But so what? Facing the elite ninjas handpicked by the five great ninja villages, the Akatsuki members have absolutely no chance of winning!

With this in mind, Tsunade resolutely stepped into this area, followed by the other four Kage, and then two hundred elite ninjas from the five great ninja villages.

It was at this moment that Naruto Uzumaki, whose last bit of Nine-Tails chakra had been drained from the cave, slowly fell to the ground.

The rescue and protection team ultimately couldn't arrive in time. Only the Akatsuki members, who stood by indifferently, and the Gedo Mazo with its nine open eyes, witnessed Naruto Uzumaki's death.

Chapter 443 Thank you for helping me revive the Ten-Tails!

"Go and rest, everyone. The ninjas from the five great ninja villages have already begun to enter Amegakure."

Nagato, controlling Pain, spoke calmly, though he was actually very excited, but he had to restrain himself.

The revival of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path will also take time. If problems arise under such circumstances, then all efforts will be in vain.

To prevent such a situation from occurring, Nagato naturally had to be careful. As for the ninjas of the five great ninja villages, they probably wouldn't have time to stop the complete resurgence of the Gedo Mazo.

Once everything settles down, the five great ninja villages will no longer have the chance to turn the tide, and the wonderful life without war that they once dreamed of will finally arrive.

The Akatsuki members left one after another. They didn't use up a lot of chakra; they were mainly exhausted.

After everyone left, Pain immediately ceased his actions. Ostensibly, he was protecting the Gedo Mazo, which was undergoing transformation, but in reality, Nagato no longer had the chakra to support Pain's actions.

Inside the room, Nagato was breathing heavily. If the Nine-Tails seal had been delayed by another ten minutes, Nagato estimated that Pain would have given the Akatsuki members a taste of instant death.

However, it's pretty much the same now. Nagato is destined not to see the Gedo Mazo fully resurrected, given his exhausted body and the Gedo Mazo's contractual relationship with the Rinnegan.

The resurgence of the Gedo Mazo will increase Nagato's burden. The best solution is to temporarily abandon the contract with the Gedo Mazo and re-establish the bond after it has fully revived.

Unfortunately, this is Amegakure, and Nagato doesn't want the Gedo Mazo to go berserk here, so he has no choice but to fight it off with his life. But such a drain is something Nagato can't withstand.

"Thank you for reviving the Ten-Tails!"

As Nagato's expression turned to pain, a hoarse and sinister voice rang out, followed by a pool of black liquid covering Nagato's body.

"Black Zetsu!"

Nagato, sensing that control over his body was gradually slipping away, spoke in terror, instructing the remaining five Pain bodies to be on guard against Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

When the tailed beasts were sealed, there was no trace of Obito Uchiha or Black Zetsu. However, Obito was unable to control the Six Paths of Pain due to chakra issues, and Black Zetsu suddenly appeared.

Doesn't that mean Obito Uchiha is nearby?!

The moment this thought crossed Nagato's mind, he felt a sharp pain in his left eye, and then he lost sight in that eye.

"Well done, Black Zetsu. Once we remove his right eye, we can complete the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Another hoarse voice came through, and Nagato's remaining vision saw "Uchiha Obito" wearing the Akatsuki uniform and a vortex mask.

"As expected, in the end, it was all for your benefit!"

Nagato roared, and Black Zetsu stopped controlling Nagato's body.

It led White Zetsu to infiltrate hundreds of meters underground in Amegakure, and only then did it find this perfect opportunity to seize the Rinnegan. However, before it could fully control Nagato, half of its spoils were directly stolen.

Black Zetsu witnessed Obito Uchiha being defeated with his own eyes, so naturally he wouldn't believe that this person was Obito Uchiha. There was no reason for that guy to let Obito Uchiha go!

Who exactly are you?

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice came through, making Nagato, who had given up hope, feel a bit absurd. Isn't this guy Obito Uchiha, who impersonated Madara Uchiha with you?

"Of course I am Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu. Don't think that just because you're a product of Uchiha Madara's will, you can take the Rinnegan. It's not yours, understand?"

Hongzhi coldly replied that Nagato's body was already on its last legs and would die soon. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to allow Black Zetsu to take the Rinnegan.

Hongzhi wanted to resolve this matter once and for all, but Black Zetsu was likely to hide with the Rinnegan, which was something Hongzhi did not want to see.

Black Zetsu was speechless. If he had some doubts before, he was now certain that this guy was definitely not Obito Uchiha. But what this guy wanted to do by impersonating Obito Uchiha was still unknown.

"To complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, we need to revive Madara Uchiha. I think Nagato still has value!"

However, after careful consideration, Black Zetsu felt relieved. Since this guy believed that he was Madara Uchiha's will, then he was someone who could be used. As long as Madara Uchiha was resurrected, even one Rinnegan could be used to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Everything will be settled then!

"Do you think I would be able to completely revive Madara Uchiha?"

Hongzhi spoke calmly, then looked directly at Nagato's only remaining right eye. If he had obtained a pair of Rinnegan, there would be no problem. But now, Black Zetsu had not completely taken over Nagato's body, so he couldn't just run away with the Rinnegan.

Thinking of this, Hongzhi attacked without hesitation, and Black Zetsu accelerated the process of eroding Nagato's body. Nagato's body was already in a state of exhaustion and had no ability to resist Black Zetsu.

If things continue like this, Black Zetsu will reach the Rinnegan sooner than Hiroji.

"Nagato, do you remember that deal? If Black Zetsu steals the Rinnegan, the deal will fail!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Hongzhi spoke coldly. Hearing this, Nagato controlled his body and stared at Hongzhi in astonishment. How did this guy know about the transaction? Could those guys actually be on Obito Uchiha's side?

"Remember your promise!"

Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Nagato still hoped to fulfill their final promise, since it concerned Konan's life!

Damn it!

With Nagato's resolute decision, Black Zetsu felt the difficulty of controlling Nagato's body increase rapidly, and the current situation meant that he was getting further and further away from the Rinnegan.

The two Rinnegan eyes successfully came into Hiroji's hands, while Nagato exhausted his last breath in his final resistance.

"In the end, I still won. Now the Rinnegan is mine, and the resurrected Ten-Tails is mine too. Black Zetsu, you are useless now!"

Hongzhi put away his Rinnegan and used Kamui directly on Black Zetsu, seemingly intending to completely destroy him!

Noticing the spatial distortion, Black Zetsu detached from Nagato's body, while Nagato was directly teleported by Kamui.

"You run really fast, but unfortunately my target was Nagato from the beginning."

Looking at the pool of Black Zetsu on the ground, Hongzhi smiled and said that Black Zetsu, having received this information, immediately burrowed underground. For it, as long as someone activates Infinite Tsukuyomi, it's a good thing. As for who that person is, it's not particularly important.

However, in the current situation, if we actively try to cooperate, we will definitely arouse suspicion. It's better to just run away!

When the time is right, let's show this guy what a surprise is!

Chapter 444 Then it depends on your skills.

Black Zetsu slowly sank into the ground, but it wouldn't leave immediately. It would keep an eye on the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan, and once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated, its plan would succeed.

However, when Black Zetsu reached the depths of the earth, he suddenly discovered a problem: White Zetsu, who was supposed to be waiting there, had disappeared.

"Uchiha Madara's body is actually there. What a secluded place."

The shadow clone in the Kamui dimension looked at the White Zetsu's true form in front of it, a slight smile playing on its lips. Whether Black Zetsu left or not was irrelevant, regardless of whether the final victor was Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, or Sasuke Uchiha who wanted to create a world with Itachi Uchiha.

Since they were all beings sacrificed to Kaguya Otsutsuki anyway, Koji didn't particularly care about their fate.

However, White Zetsu is different. The existence of White Zetsu is what Hongzhi is more concerned about. It's not that White Zetsu has any special abilities, but mainly that White Zetsu can be used as a sacrifice for Impure World Reincarnation. Moreover, as long as White Zetsu's body is injected with chakra, it can continuously generate new White Zetsu.

With this thing, Hongzhi could upgrade all the reanimated ninjas to a higher level, without even having to worry about whether there were enough sacrifices.

Moreover, those ninjas who had disappeared from the ninja world could be resurrected.

As for how the White Zetsu's true form came about, it was naturally discovered by a shadow clone that infiltrated underground. As long as the Ten-Tails is born, the Black Zetsu will definitely appear.

Black Zetsu's power is very weak. Apart from being able to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki by backstabbing her, he has basically no special power. Under such circumstances, White Zetsu will definitely appear.

Hongzhi's original idea was to find White Zetsu. Whether it was the real White Zetsu or not made no difference. The clone would definitely know some information, and finding the real White Zetsu would be no problem if he followed the clues.

However, things didn't go as planned. This time, it was the real White Zetsu who came here, saving a lot of trouble.

After learning the location of Madara Uchiha's body, the shadow clone immediately left the Kamui dimension. The Rinnegan originally belonged to Madara Uchiha, and perhaps Madara Uchiha was the best choice compared to Obito Uchiha.

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

"Where is Nagato?"

In the tower of Amegakure, Konan, dragging her tired body, stared warily at Hiroji. Of course, in Konan's mind, this guy was the real "Uchiha Obito".

"It's obvious he's dead."

Hiroji calmly replied that Nagato's original request was to ensure Konan's safety after his death, which was quite troublesome for Hiroji.

However, since he had agreed to it, Hongzhi would not have made a move against him. If Nagato had not resisted Black Zetsu's control of his body, both Rinnegan would not have fallen into Hongzhi's hands.

"What exactly do you want?"

Xiao Nan was saddened by this news, but she still pretended to be strong and asked.

"I don't want to do anything. The Ten-Tails has been successfully revived, Nagato's mission is complete, and now it's Obito Uchiha's turn."
