Nagato vs. Hanzo

There were always people in this world born with talents others could scarcely hope to match. If they made good use of them, they could reach heights ordinary people found impossible to surpass.

Uzumaki Nagato was undoubtedly one such person. Though no one knew how a member of the Uzumaki Clan had inexplicably awakened the Rinnegan bloodline limit, which originally belonged only to the Uchiha Clan.

Though that did not seem quite right either. Even among the Uchiha Clan, no one could directly awaken the Rinnegan nowadays. They could only awaken the Sharingan, then regain the Rinnegan through extremely arduous training and a certain amount of luck. The Uchiha Clan had not seen a Rinnegan appear in many years.

But inheritance was never absolute to begin with. Like the Senju and Uchiha Clans, the Uzumaki Clan also carried the bloodline of Six Paths. In that case, it was not entirely incomprehensible for Nagato, as an Uzumaki, to possess the Rinnegan. Perhaps an Uchiha clansman who inherited the Sage Body might appear someday as well. It was not impossible.

Nagato was outstanding. Setting aside the Rinnegan, the environment he had grown up in had forged his exceptional willpower, something far beyond most Uchiha clansmen sheltered by their clan's influence. The Uchiha could not be called pampered, but in terms of living conditions, they were unquestionably far better off than Nagato.

Such clans possessed enough strength to start a shinobi war on their own. The Uchiha Clan stood near the top of the powerful clan rankings. Though the Konoha Police Force was nominally a defensive unit, even Konoha itself understood that it was perhaps the only
