Nagato's head had been taken off. That meant White Zetsu was free.
White Zetsu reached out, grabbed the head resting on his shoulder, and violently twisted it back into its proper position.
"Nagato died just like that? I still find it hard to believe. Madara searched for so long before finding someone like him." White Zetsu looked at Nagato's head.
Genitsu held the Rinnegan in one hand and Nagato's red hair in the other, dangling his head from it.
He lowered his gaze to inspect the head and said blandly, "He's not dead yet, but he will be soon."
An ordinary person whose head was severed would not die immediately either. They could probably survive for several seconds.
Let alone a ninja, especially an Uzumaki descendant like Nagato.
But if too much time passed, Nagato's brain would be deprived of oxygen and energy for too long, eventually resulting in brain death.
That would be true death.
"It doesn't matter even if he dies. It's not like I lack methods to extract souls." Genitsu remained calm.
Having personally killed Nagato, the second Six Paths, Genitsu felt no emotional stir whatsoever.
"Tsk, tsk. So, you and Black Zetsu each hold one Rinnegan... Are you going to personally carry out the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts?" White Zetsu asked.
"Capture Tailed Beasts? Depends on my mood. I was never interested in Madara and Obito's path." Genitsu sounded uninterested.

Nagato's death was not actually the most fatal matter. The crucial thing was the Rinnegan.
Nagato was, in essence, merely a vessel Madara had chosen to carry and nurture the Rinnegan.
Even if Nagato
