Reclaiming the Rinnegan

Obito Uchiha stored the Amber Purifying Pot, which had sealed Kakashi, into the Kamui Space.

By the time Minato Namikaze realized what was happening and tried to help, Obito Uchiha had already entered the Kamui Space.

Even Minato Namikaze, known for his quick reflexes, was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

He quickly closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. He had entered the Kamui Space once before, and on that occasion, he had already left the Flying Thunder God Coordinates Kamui Space.

However, he sensed nothing, indicating that Obito Uchiha had already removed the Flying Thunder God Mark from the Kamui Space.

"How cautious!" Minato Namikaze smile.

He was truly out of options now. Unless he could capture Obito Uchiha and use Genjutsu to control him and make him retrieve the Amber Purifying Pot from the Kamui Space, no one could save Kakashi.

At this point, only Former Four-Tails Jinchuriki remained on the Iwa ninja side Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, the Fourth Raikage A, Darui, Hanzo, Killer B, the Former Five-Tails Jinchuriki, the former Four-Tails Jinchuriki, the First Earth Shadow, the Second Tsuchikage, Pakura, the First Raikage, the Second Raikage, Jiraiya, and Obito Uchiha.

Nearly half of them were lost, and most importantly, Iwa ninja Senju, who mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu in Senju Tobirama, was no longer with us.

In this chaotic battle, the Flying Thunder God's ability to save the day far surpasses that of Kamui.

The Allied Forces still have Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Kaze, Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, Karatachi Yagura, the Former Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Minato Namikaze, Kisame, Mei Terumi, Danzo, Mei Terumi— thirteen people remaining.

However, Itachi Uchiha from the Iwa ninja side is missing an eye, which greatly weakens his strength.

On the allied forces' side, Qing was seriously injured and unable to fight, and Feng was also injured and exhausted, making it difficult for him to suppress the Seven-Tails within him.

The two sides did not immediately engage in battle; both sides needed some time to assess the changes in their respective strengths.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Natsuki, who was staying in Iwagakure, had Kawakita bring several death Senju Tobirama and others, preparing to perform the Impure World Reincarnation once again.

However, to her bewilderment, for some unknown reason, the Impure World Reincarnation failed this time, and she was unable to summon any of the already disbanded Reanimated Body.

Aono Shinichi, Minamoto Shizuka, Rion exchanged glances, all wondering if it was related to the Sage of Six Paths.

If only one or two people are unable to be summoned, it could be said that someone else used the Impure World Reincarnation first.

But if none of them can be summoned, then there's only one explanation: the intervention of the Sage of Six Paths.

Aono Shinichi having a bit of a headache; anything involving the Sage of Six Paths was unsolvable.

Hopefully, the allied forces won't be able to use the Impure World Reincarnation again, otherwise the war will be impossible to fight.

He discussed it with Minamoto Shizuka and Rion, then said to Sakura, "Let's use our last secret weapon."

Sakura nodded.

Then, in the battlefield of the Land of Water, Obito Uchiha reappeared from the Kamui Space.

Then, in full view of everyone, he formed hand Hand Seals and performed Summoning Jutsu.

Obito Uchiha the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

During his lifetime, Obito Uchiha dared not attempt to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path that would deplete his life force.

However, Obito Uchiha Impure World Reincarnation Tensei form had no such weakness.

He directly controlled the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and charged towards the allied forces.

The allied forces had finished discussing the intelligence regarding the Amber Purifying Pot and concluded that they should not respond to the Amber Purifying Pot's holder's calls indiscriminately.

In other words, as long as you stay silent, nothing will happen.

Meanwhile, the Allied Forces also selected a new commander, who surprised the Iwa ninja – it was Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata's performance today was outstanding; she limited the Iwa ninja -Space-Time Ninjutsu of two Iwa ninjas.

They also killed Senju Tobirama, a user of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

She played the most important role in the entire battle.

Furthermore, her Gravity Ninjutsu saved Ao, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of the Mist ninja. The Mist ninja Village was also willing to give her face.

Most importantly, with Kakashi absent, Hinata capable of commanding the Allied Forces' strongest fighting force.

Sasuke and Naruto won't listen to anyone else's orders.

Therefore, without considering having the Reanimated Body command everyone in battle, Hinata is the most suitable candidate.

Both Konoha and Mist ninja were quite satisfied with this choice, except for Reanimated Body Danzo.

His best friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he's become a bit disobedient.

Only because his senior, Mito Uzumaki, was still around did he not act too recklessly.

Upon seeing the Iwa ninja use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Hinata said, "Summon the Giant Summoning Beast! Jinchuriki, Tailed Beast Transformation!"

As she spoke, she was already Hand Seals.

Those who Hand Seals with her were Naruto, Sasuke, and Minato Namikaze.

Peng~

After a puff of smoke, the giant Summoning Beast from Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest appeared in the arena.

Meanwhile, Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, Karatachi Yagura, and the Former Six-Tails Jinchuriki also Tailed Beast Transformation as much as possible.

Previous battles were fast-paced and unpredictable, making them unsuitable for fighting giant Summoning Beast and Tailed Beast.

However, the situation has changed now. With two fewer users of the Flying Thunder God, the chaotic battle has turned into Positional Warfare, which is more suitable for large Ninja Beast.

Sasuke Uchiha also unleashed the Perfect Susanoo.

The tactics of the Iwa ninja were basically the same, and the remaining three Jinchuriki also tried their best to Tailed Beast Transformation.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui Uchiha, both of whom possessed both eyes, also activated Susanoo.

Then, the two sides clashed again over the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the giant Summoning Beast, and Susanoo!

While the combined forces of Iwa ninja and Konoha / Mist ninja were engaged in a major battle, Madara Uchiha, who had emerged from the underground cave, also arrived at River Ninja Village.

The current situation is completely different from the original story, in which Obito Uchiha was at the forefront.

In advancing the Moon Eye Plan, Madara Uchiha was not the main force; Obito Uchiha more proactive.

At that time Madara Uchiha was fighting the Five Kage with a completely playful attitude.

In this life, Madara Uchiha had no time to waste and immediately unleashed a powerful attack on River Ninja Village.

In River Ninja Village, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan have been together all these years.

After years of governing the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain, the three of them basically gave up the idea of getting involved in the conflicts of the Ninja World.

Seeing that the lives of ordinary people in the Land of Earth were getting better and better, while the three of them could not make the lives of ordinary people in the Land of Earth Kawa and Ame Countries the same level no matter how hard they tried.

Therefore, both Nagato and Yahiko felt that it was best to leave the Ninja World to Yichen to govern.

Therefore, in recent years, Nagato and Yahiko have even refused the territory that Yichen offered them.

The three told Yichen that once he unified the other places, they would voluntarily hand over the Kawa and Ame Countries Yichen.

As Konoha declined, the territory controlled by Iwa ninja grew larger and larger, and the three guessed that this day was not far off.

The three believed that as long as they governed their country and village in peace, they could wait for peace in the Ninja World.

But today, an unexpected event occurred.

Madara Uchiha arrived in River Ninja Village alone.

He immediately launched a meteorite at the River Ninja Village.

Nagato reacted quickly; he sensed Madara Uchiha as soon as he appeared.

Soon Nagato brought Yahiko and Konan outside.

Nagato's face was extremely grim as he watched the meteorite rapidly falling from the distant sky and Madara Uchiha standing with his arms crossed on a high mountain outside the deserted village.

Nagato flew into the air, stretched out his hand towards the meteorite, and said, "Shinra Tensei!"

Then, to Madara Uchiha's astonishment, the meteorite deviated from its course and crashed into the side of River Ninja Village.

Although quite a few pebbles still splashed into River Ninja Village, this was far from what Madara Uchiha had expected.

Madara Uchiha said, "Nagato, you've integrated well with these eyes; they're no longer a burden to you."

According to Madara Uchiha's expectations, Nagato's life force should be continuously depleted by the Rinnegan. At this point in time, even if Nagato is not on the verge of death, he should at least appear physically weak.

However, Nagato's vitality was extremely strong, even appearing younger than his age.

After carefully sensing his Madara Uchiha understood. He frowned and said, "You also had Hashirama Cells transplanted?"

That's right, Nagato received a transplant of First Hokage's Cells, which were naturally given to him by Yichen First Hokage's Cells.

Nagato and Yahiko did not participate in the conflicts of the Ninja World and refused the territory offered by the Land of Earth. In response, Yichen used the First Hokage's Cells as a gift to thank them.

This can be considered a gift from Iwagakure of Iwagakure).

Calling them First Hokage's Cells is inaccurate; Yichen had already used up First Hokage's Cells he had.

That was actually the power of the God Tree that Yichen extracted from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path using his Giant Sharingan.

This thing is essentially the same as the First Hokage's Cells; it was originally cultured by Madara Uchiha using the First Hokage's Cells.

Nagato was a genius of the Uzumaki Clan, and his physique was extremely strong.

Therefore, his body is more effective at suppressing the domineering First Hokage's Cells than others.

With the help of the Rinnegan, Nagato's transplantation of the First Hokage's Cells went smoothly.

However, after Nagato obtained the First Hokage's Cells, their effects were not Yichen had imagined.

Yichen once fantasized that if Nagato brought his body to its peak by transplanting the First Hokage's Cells, would he be able to fully unleash the power of the Rinnegan and thus possess the strength of Sage?

To Yichen's disappointment, the Rinnegan indeed of a very high level, truly the Sage Eye. When it was in its original owner's body, it was able to unleash its full power because of the complete harmony between the body and soul.

However, even if the two are perfectly integrated within Nagato's body, Nagato can only use his own strength to drive the Rinnegan, and it is impossible for him to reach the Sage level.

Nagato also recognized Madara Uchiha; after all these years, he now knew the origin of his eyes.

The existence of the Sage of Six Paths, Black Zetsu, and Madara Uchiha is an open secret among the higher-ups in Iwa ninja.

Yichen then selectively told the three members of the Nagato about these matters.

For example, the origin of Nagato's Rinnegan.

Therefore, Nagato knew that the Uchiha was after his eyes.

However, Nagato was not good with words. He looked at Madara Uchiha and said calmly, "Your Rinnegan has brought tremendous changes to my life. I don't know whether to thank you or hate you."

"However, I suppose you don't care about my feelings, so just do it!"

Madara Uchiha nodded and said, "I wasn't wrong about you. The Rinnegan has been well nurtured in your hands."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha's originally ordinary eyes changed instantly, becoming Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and then the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Without any probing, Madara Uchiha immediately used his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Nagato Madara Uchiha's presence that he couldn't be careless.

Thus, Madara Uchiha and Nagato began their Taijutsu) contest.

Madara Uchiha launched an attack on Nagato. Nagato, being arrogant and proud, also wanted to test his Taijutsu against Madara Uchiha.

Bang bang bang bang.

A moment later, Nagato realized that Madara had clearly overestimated him. In just over ten exchanges, he had already taken five or six punches from Madara Uchiha.

Bang! After being punched away again, Nagato used the momentum to increase the distance between the two.

At this moment, Nagato's expression was no longer calm. He looked at Madara Uchiha, who had a relaxed expression, with a solemn look on his face.

The result of their recent exchange was that Nagato discovered that Madara Uchiha to him in both speed and strength.

But this wasn't what frustrated Nagato the most; what bothered him most was Madara Uchiha's fighting skills.

While Madara Uchiha might not have surpassed him by much in terms of speed and strength, in terms of combat skills Madara Uchiha was simply bullying a child.

Madara Uchiha could be said to have every part of his body used as a weapon.

He was incredibly agile; for every attack Nagato made, Madara Uchiha could land at least two.

Nagato took a deep breath, realizing the gap in overall strength between himself and Madara Uchiha.

While their current skill levels may be similar, that's all there is to it. In terms of other qualities as ninjas, the difference between Nagato and Madara Uchiha is like heaven and earth.

Nagato no longer naively planned to fight using only Taijutsu; he began to use his true strength.

Nagato Hand Seals and used Summoning Jutsu to summon the Six Paths of Pain, who had been staying in the Land of Rain.

Then, the six puppets and the main body worked together to meet Madara Uchiha.

Upon seeing the six puppets, Madara Uchiha shook his head and said, "Nagato, it seems you know nothing about power!"

"He possesses immense strength, yet has absolutely no idea how to use it."

With that, Madara Uchiha unleashed his maximum speed and charged head-on towards the Six Paths of Pain.

The Six Paths of Pain, who were almost invincible against others, were of no help whatsoever against Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha blasted Six Paths of Pain apart with a single punch each.

Among them, only the giant summoned Summoning Beast from the Animal Path allowed Madara Uchiha to throw a few more punches.

Deva Path Pain used Shinra Tensei, Madara Uchiha was able to withstand the repulsive force and directly blast him apart.

After defeating the Six Paths of Pain, Madara Uchiha asked again, "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Nagato's gaze was icy, and then he unleashed his Dōjutsu, Limbo: Border Jail.

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow and said, "Good, very good. You've actually developed the Rinnegan to this extent."

As he spoke, his black eyes in his Reanimated Body transformed into the Rinnegan.

With the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha clearly saw the location of Nagato's Limbo Clone. Without hesitation, he attacked again.

Bang bang bang bang, after a series of impacts, Nagato, with a solemn expression, leaped backward to increase the distance between himself and Madara Uchiha.

His Limbo Clone wasn't destroyed; he used the Rinnegan Dojutsu Shinra Tensei to block Madara Uchiha's attack.

Madara Uchiha slightly, approving of Nagato's response.

But the next moment, a large amount of blue Chakra suddenly appeared around Madara Uchiha's body, and then a huge humanoid Susanoo appeared.

The humanoid Susanoo has six arms, each holding a sword.

As soon as the blue giant appeared, six swords slashed down at Nagato one after another.

Nagato was not known for his strength, and when faced with Susanoo of this caliber, he could only dodge at times and use Shinra Tensei to defend at others.

Fortunately, Shinra Tensei was able to withstand Susanoo's attack of this magnitude.

Madara Uchiha didn't seem to be in a hurry to take down Nagato; he simply forced Nagato to retreat step by step with his sword.

As Nagato was being forced into a retreat, a cluster of Exploding Tag suddenly flew towards Madara Uchiha.

The Exploding Tag flew towards Madara Uchiha as if they were endless; if they were piled up, Susanoo.

Madara Uchiha was somewhat surprised. He didn't dodge, but his gaze swept across the room and settled on Konan.

Madara Uchiha did not attack Konan; he allowed the Exploding Tag to envelop his Susanoo.

The next moment, a massive number of Exploding Tag suddenly exploded, and a mushroom-shaped plume of black smoke rose into the air.

Seeing Nagato, Nagato quickly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Chibaku Tensei!"

A small black ball flew from his hand, soared into the sky, and then emitted a tremendous suction force.

Madara Uchiha, who was blown to pieces by the Exploding Tag, did not try to stop Nagato from unleashing his ultimate attack; he simply watched quietly.

While allowing the Chibaku Tensei Reanimated Body to recover, he also allowed the Planetary Devastation to suck him into the air.

Nagato's full-force Chibaku Tensei Devastation was incredibly powerful, causing the rock sphere enveloping Madara Uchiha to grow larger and larger, eventually forming a gigantic sphere with a diameter exceeding that of several River Ninja Village.

After unleashing this powerful attack, Nagato, utterly exhausted, braced himself on his knees, looking up at the sky while breathing heavily.

Clearly, even though Nagato is physically strong now, using this level of Chibaku Tensei still puts a huge strain on his body.

This move still drained some of its vitality.

With a whoosh, two figures arrived beside Nagato; it was Yahiko and Konan.

Yahiko was powerless to intervene in the battle between Nagato and Madara Uchiha, and could only watch from the village.

Konan merely used the Exploding Tag she had accumulated over the years to buy Nagato an opportunity to unleash the Chibaku Tensei.

Konan couldn't do anything about it even if they tried again.

Only after Nagato sealed Madara Uchiha did the two dare to approach.

Konan asked, "Nagato, have you dealt with the enemy?"

Nagato didn't answer; he kept staring at Chibaku Tensei. Based on his understanding of this technique, Madara Uchiha shouldn't be able to get out.

But for some reason, Nagato felt that things weren't that simple.

Thinking of how Madara Uchiha hadn't resisted at all, letting Konan bombard him with Exploding Tag and showing no fear as he used Chibaku Tensei, Nagato felt completely insecure.

Suddenly, a beam of blue light pierced through the massive Chibaku Tensei structure and emerged from within.

Then came the second, the third, and finally, a total of Six Paths blue beams pierced through the entire stone sphere formed by the Chibaku Tensei.

Then, Six Paths blue light slashed back and forth, cutting the entire sphere into pieces.

Nagato saw this, his heart sank to the bottom.

The next moment, the cleaved boulders fell down, revealing the blue, Perfect Susanoo inside.

Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo is incomparable in size to Sasuke's and the previous Perfect Susanoo of Sokai Izumi Uchiha.

Watching the Susanoo, whose size was extremely exaggerated, land on the ground, leaving a large crater under each foot and stirring up a cloud of magical earth.

The three members of Nagato were disheartened; their fighting spirit had vanished.

Madara Uchiha controlled Susanoo approach Nagato step by step, finally stopping about a hundred meters in front of Nagato.

Nagato and his two companions had to completely tilt their heads up to see Madara Uchiha atop Susanoo.

At that moment, Madara Uchiha's voice came from the top of Susanoo: "Nagato, hand over the Rinnegan, and I, Madara Uchiha, promise you, I will spare you and your comrades."

This incarnation of Madara Uchiha lacked the leisurely elegance of the original story and even flirted with the Five Kage.

In this life, he was eager to reclaim the Rinnegan and increase his strength.

His reason for sparring with Nagato and gradually demonstrating his strength was to break Nagato's fighting spirit and force him to hand over the Rinnegan.

Otherwise, if Nagato were to risk his life to destroy the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha would suffer a huge loss.

These Rinnegan are Madara Uchiha's hope for resurrection.

Nagato glanced at Yahiko and Konan, then reached for his eyes.

But just as his hands were about to touch his eyes, Yahiko and Konan pulled him back from either side.

Nagato looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Yahiko said, "Nagato, I know you're not afraid of death; you want to use the Rinnegan to save our lives."

"But Konan and I are equally unafraid of death! Don't forget our ideals!"

"Our Akatsuki Organization's goal is to achieve peace in the Ninja World!"

"Madara Uchiha obtaining the Rinnegan will definitely bring disaster to the Ninja World."

"Although we failed, Yichen has not failed yet. We cannot cause trouble for Yichen."

"The current situation in the Ninja World is very clear: Yichen is about to Unifying the Ninja World, and under his rule, the Ninja World will surely usher in true peace."

"Even if we die in battle, we cannot stand in the way of Yichen's dream."

Konan added, "That's right, Yichen's dream is also our dream."

"We made our decision long ago; we'll ultimately choose Yichen's method. For the peace of the Ninja World, we are not afraid to die!"

Madara Uchiha, high in the sky, naturally heard it too, and his brows furrowed.

If Nagato is persuaded by the two to rather destroy the Rinnegan than give it to him, then he really has no choice.

He could completely overpower Nagato in terms of strength, beating Nagato to the point of losing his will to fight, but he had no way to take Nagato's eyes before Nagato destroyed them himself.

Just then, Black and White Zetsu suddenly emerged from underground.

Black Zetsu Yahiko said, "Yahiko, Lord Madara was also doing it for the peace of the Ninja World."

"He established the ninja village together with the First Hokage of Konoha because he believed that the Ninja World system could bring peace to the Ninja World."

"Although it turned out that the method was wrong, Lord Madara has found a new one."

"So even if Lord Madara wins in the end, you don't need to worry about the creatures of the Ninja World. Lord Madara's ideals are the same as yours."

"But if you don't hand over the Rinnegan, the entire River Ninja Village will be reduced to ashes today."

"Yahiko, think about it, all the children you've raised over the years, all turned into corpses in an instant, not even a trace of their remains."

"Yahiko, how can you be so heartless?"

"Nagato, how can you be so heartless?"

"Konan, how can you be so heartless?"

"Furthermore, Nagato, the Tsuchikage is so powerful that even if Lord Madara obtains the Rinnegan, the Tsuchikage might not necessarily lose."

"Would you like to see the Tsuchikage win a victory without a single like-minded friend to share his joy?"

"Can you bear to watch him weep while holding your corpses?"

It has to be said that Black Zetsu is a master at manipulating people's hearts; every word he uttered hit the nail on the head regarding what they cared about most.

Especially the last sentence: even if Yichen succeeds, he won't have any friends to share his joy with.

These words even swayed Yahiko, the Child of Prophecy.

Of course, what the three of them didn't know was that when Black Zetsu said those words, a tiny black substance was interfering with their thinking in each of their minds.

The three exchanged a final glance, and then Nagato voluntarily removed his glasses.
