Uchiha's personal opinion

However, although the Rinnegan does have an extraordinary restraining effect on the Gedo Mazo, since his teacher Black Zetsu never taught him any similar manipulation techniques, Nagato could only frantically draw chakra from his body and use the Rinnegan to suppress the Gedo Mazo!

After the steel barrier was fully deployed, perhaps because he sensed the extremely faint trace of tailed beast chakra contained within the barrier, the 'struggle' that the Gedo Mazo brought to Nagato became much weaker, and it became much easier to control!

"Shinra Tensei!"

Faced with Uchiha Tokumitsu's tomoe attack, Nagato desperately activated the power of his Rinnegan, creating an invisible and colorless repulsion field that collided fiercely with the highly concentrated chakra!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

However, Nagato's Rinnegan technique failed to deflect the Yasaka Magatama back. Instead, Uchiha Tokumitsu detonated the Magatama instantly upon the collision of their powers, obliterating the repulsive force field of Shinra Tensei!

In terms of chakra quality, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who fused the power of the nine tailed beasts, Sage Mode chakra, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan, can be considered the most unique existence among humanoid beings in the ninja world!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Sweating profusely, Nagato immediately used a wind-style ninjutsu to try and deflect the aftershocks of the explosion.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu had already charged over in Susanoo!

Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!

"—Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Divine Emperor's Spirit Venerable!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu first used an Earth Release ninjutsu to 'add burden' to Nagato, and then the Susanoo's greatsword slashed towards the Gedo Mazo!

He wants to separate Nagato from the Gedo Mazo.

"Universal Guidance!"

Because Uchiha Tokuko's attack came too fast, Nagato's 'Shinra Tensei' didn't even have time to complete its 'skill cooldown'. In addition, the Earth Release secret technique amplified by the Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed making it hard for him to breathe. So, in a panic, he used another secret technique of the Rinnegan in a daze!

"broken!"

But as soon as the Universal Pull was unleashed, Nagato immediately realized he had made a grave mistake!

Perhaps due to insufficient chakra leading to insufficient gravity, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo was not only not knocked down by gravity, but was able to accelerate its attack speed!

This is due to a severe lack of combat experience.

Although Black Zetsu had taught Nagato some ways to use the Rinnegan, Nagato, who had grown up in a sheltered environment, was no match for someone as experienced in military battles as Uchiha Tokumitsu!

"boom!"

With a single strike of Susanoo's longsword, the immobile Gedo Mazo was knocked to the ground!

Just as Nagato forcibly broke free from the bindings of the Weighted Rock Technique using the power of the Rinnegan, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo giant hand grabbed him!

In less than three minutes, the matter was settled!

Uchiha Tokumitsu scanned his surroundings from inside Susanoo and found that the situation was excellent!

The Imperial Guard Uchiha ninjas, empowered by Sage Mode chakra, were as fierce as wolves and tigers, knocking down and binding the White Zetsu who were like moths to a flame!

Except for a young red-haired man in a corner controlling a puppet to put up a fight, the rest of the area was completely one-sided!

"Absolutely perfect..."

At this point, Uchiha Tokumitsu realized he had overreacted.

If he had known that Black Zetsu's lair consisted of nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to mobilize so many ninja troops!

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his gaze back to Nagato, who was in the giant palm of Susanoo.

"You murderer of my father, I will never forgive you!"

Nagato immediately launched into a tirade of curses!

"what!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

You know, he and Hatake Sakumo basically raised up the remaining descendants of the Uzumaki clan, so how did he end up having a blood feud with Nagato, a member of the Uzumaki clan, for killing his father?!

Who is your father?

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Uchiha Madara!"

Nagato said through gritted teeth.

"..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was speechless.

Theoretically, it's true that he killed Madara Uchiha.

But... how did he get involved with Nagato?!

Although he changed the course of history in the ninja world, it shouldn't have changed so drastically!

Chapter 478 The Home is Gone

Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't imagine what Nagato, who was held in Susanoo's palm, had gone through to recognize Uchiha Madara as his father!

Moreover, he was absolutely certain that Nagato did not have the bloodline of the Uchiha clan!

Putting aside his blood-red hair and his surging chakra, the fact that Uchiha Tokumitsu's Mangekyou Sharingan: God Emperor's Spirit Lord had no effect on him speaks volumes—after Uchiha Tokumitsu activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, all Uchiha clan members within range received varying degrees of amplification of their eye power!

"You are a member of the Uzumaki clan, and have no relation to our Uchiha clan..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu paused, realizing he was about to gouge out the man's eyes, and felt he should offer some words of comfort: "But it's alright, soon you'll be a complete Uzumaki clan member..."

Then, Uchiha Tokumitsu first released his Flame Release aura, burning away all of Nagato's chakra within the giant Susanoo palm. After dispelling Susanoo, he caught Nagato in his arms and placed the Four Symbols Seal on his abdomen and the Evil Sealing Seal on his forehead.

Although these two sealing techniques are not particularly advanced secret arts, they are more than enough to control a small vortex whose chakra has been burned away.

After Uchiha Tokuko landed on the ground of the deep pit, the White Zetsu who saw Nagato under his arm immediately rushed towards him like madmen, but this irrational action caused them to be knocked to the ground by the Imperial Guards at a faster speed and then sealed and bound one by one!

"About a thousand White Zetsu..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced around briefly, feeling somewhat disappointed.

He didn't know if he had arrived too early or if the White Zetsu had another base, but the number of these thousand or so White Zetsu was still far less than he had expected.

However, after the Gedo Statue was acquired...

Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the Imperial Guard ninjas' capture operation and slowly walked up to the Gedo Mazo and examined it closely.

"Knock knock~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu reached out and carefully tapped the material of the Gedo Mazo. It felt like wood but not wood, like flesh but not flesh, a strange texture that was hard to describe.

The golem lying on the ground looked like an ancient, withered tree on the verge of death, and the ten pillar-like protrusions on its back resembled scars left after its branches had been cut off.

"The divine tree of the Otsutsuki..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze was incredibly intense.

This is a treasure that no one in the entire world can compare to!

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked up at the sky, wondering if the old man of the Six Paths, who was still alive but not dead, had noticed this moment.

At this moment, as the Imperial Guards advanced, all the White Zetsu were captured, and the only one still resisting was the red-haired man who controlled the puppet.

Most of the Uchiha ninjas in the Imperial Guard were busy reinforcing the seals on the White Zetsu, while only seven or eight Uchiha ninjas were casually and playfully fighting with the red-haired man.

Uchiha Tokumitsu beckoned over a Uchiha medical ninja.

"Do you know how to perform an eye removal surgery?"

"No problem!"

The medical ninja answered without hesitation.

Did you bring a spare pair of glasses?

Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.

At the same time, he reached out and flipped Nagato's eyelids.

"...only one pair of Sharingan eyes."

The medical ninja shrank back and answered in a low voice.

"Alright then, change it for him."

Uchiha Tokumitsu lifted Nagato up and placed him on the portable hand-operation table that the medical ninja had unsealed, but just in case, he still gripped Nagato's neck with his right hand.

The medical ninja immediately sprang into action. First, he used an eyelid speculum to pry open Nagato's eyelids, then injected a powerful anesthetic into his neck, and then took out a scalpel and deftly pried out two Rinnegan eyes!

After soaking the two Rinnegan eyes in a medicinal solution, the medical ninja roughly 'pressed' the spare Sharingan into Nagato's eye sockets, and then—

"Calming Immortal Technique!"

With the help of medical ninjutsu, the Sharingan, which was originally crooked and somewhat protruding, was 'integrated' into Nagato's eye socket.

The entire process of removing and replacing the eye takes less than five minutes.

The hot-swappable eye replacement system in the ninja world is so convenient...

Uchiha Tokumitsu examined the bottle containing the Rinnegan for a while before carefully putting it away close to his body.

Apart from the red-haired man who was still struggling to survive, the other White Zetsu had already been packed up.

Seeing that even the Gedo Mazo had been captured and the Rinnegan had been taken away, the White Zetsu looked listless and almost withered.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

After noticing Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze, the Imperial Guards who were besieging the red-haired man stopped holding back and joined forces to unleash a high-level ninjutsu that blasted the red-haired man's puppet to pieces!

"Uchiha Style: Sun Halo Mist!"

Two Imperial Guard Jonin joined forces to rush in from the left and right flanks, severing both arms of the red-haired man in a flash of their swords.

Then, two more Imperial Guard Jonin rushed forward, captured the heavily injured red-haired man, and sealed him away!

"Prepare to retreat..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu first used Sage Mode chakra to project a beam of light, and after confirming that no one had escaped, he ordered everyone to evacuate.

The heretical demon statue was also drawn up by the five-colored divine light.

As for the more than one thousand White Zetsu, after the number was counted, the Imperial Guard ninjas carried them out.

"Susanoo!"
