In a dark and damp cave.
Obito and Nagato stared at each other, utterly shocked, at the Chakra floating in the air before them.
At the center of this mass of Chakra was the form of the Two-Tails.
"You're saying this was given to you by Uchiha Mirai initiative?"
"Right."
"He gave it to you himself?"
"Right."
Then came a long silence.
"Could this be a trap?"
Nagato spoke cautiously.
Obito's eyes flickered with a complex expression, and he said somewhat guiltily, "I don't think so!"
He was only focused on escaping and didn't have time to check anything. He grabbed them all and ran away, only using Kamui to teleport away after leaving the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"No matter what, we should at least check it out first."
Nagato took a deep breath and made up her mind.
Regardless of what the Uchiha Mirai, the most urgent task is to examine this ball of Two-Tails Chakra.
As the examination began, his expression suddenly turned grim, and the expressions of Obito, Konan, and the others beside him were also not good.
The amount of Chakra was much smaller than they had imagined!
Let alone a near-complete Two-Tails, even one-tenth of the Chakra of a complete Tailed Beast would be insufficient.
Nagato couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did Uchiha Mirai do to have the Two-Tails 'Chakra squeezed to such an extent?
This small clump of Chakra is probably just scraps and remnants.
"Although the portion is much smaller than I expected, it should be enough to feed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Nagato pondered for a moment.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path doesn't necessarily require the complete Tailed Beast be devoured; the Two-Tails 'Chakra can be used as a substitute.
However, the synthesized Ten-Tails is slightly inferior in quality to the Ten-Tails that devoured a complete Tailed Beast.
However, given the current situation, this is the best possible outcome.
"Let's get started! I can't wait to see the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path devour all the Tailed Beast!"
Nagato's Rinnegan gleamed like ripples as he gazed at the massive Demonic Statue of the Outer Path behind him, a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
His long-held dream was about to come true, and even someone as usually calm as him could hardly contain his joy.
Obito glanced at him deeply from the side and behind, his eyes seemingly containing some hidden emotion.
Behind him, a hint of excitement appeared in Black Zetsu's dark eyes. For thousands of years, he had plotted countless times to rescue Mama-san, but all his efforts had ultimately failed.
Now, the moment of success has finally arrived.
How could he not be excited?
Konan gazed at Nagato's profile and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
It's wonderful to witness Nagato fulfill Yahiko's dream!
Only the White Zetsu at the very back had a strange and unnatural expression, which seemed out of place with the joyful atmosphere around him.
He stared at the bizarre, heretical Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and muttered to himself.
"It seems really strange to let this Gedo Demonic Statue of the Outer Path devour Tailed Beast, doesn't it?"
Because the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was crippled by Godzilla in the battle, Nagato had no choice but to entrust the task of repairing the Mazo to White Zetsu in order to continue devouring the Tailed Beast.
After expending a great deal of effort, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was indeed repaired, but its appearance and aura underwent a complete transformation.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is no longer as imposing as it once was. Its once withered, tree-like body is now covered with some strange, unidentifiable, emerald-green plant.
The abdomen, shoulders, and many other areas were covered with pitted, white repair marks, as if covered with many grayish-white patches.
The most terrifying thing is that, beneath this bizarre body, the nine eyes on the forehead of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path kept rolling and scanning its surroundings.
White Zetsu didn't have high expectations for this kind of Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Perhaps because they shared the same origin, he always felt that something completely different from the original demonic Demonic Statue of the Outer Path resided beneath this kind of Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
But seeing the expectant looks on Nagato, Obito, and the others around him, he could only swallow his confusion and worry, praying that nothing would go wrong during the process of synthesizing the Ten-Tails.
Otherwise, if he were to repair the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he would probably be the first to be torn to pieces by the enraged group.
After confirming that Tailed Beast had been gathered, Nagato did not delay and immediately began to have the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path devour the last Tailed Beast.
With a loud metallic clang, thick Chakra chains shot out from the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, firmly binding the remaining Tailed Beast and quickly pulling them into its own mouth.
The Tailed Beast tried to struggle, but under the combined pressure of Obito Mangekyo Sharingan and Nagato's Rinnegan, it had no way to resist and could only let the chains drag it into the abdomen of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Time passed slowly, and eventually the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path devoured all the Tailed Beast.
Nagato Obito, and the others waited with anticipation and excitement for the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to change.
Rumble!!!!
After devouring all the Tailed Beast, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path suddenly began to swell violently, letting out a painful howl that echoed through the cave, causing numerous stalactites to break and fall.
"Quick! Back off!"
The swollen Demonic Statue of the Outer Path quickly reached the top of the cave, forcing the group to jump back and dodge.
With a deafening roar, the cave collapsed under the immense impact, and from the churning dust, a colossal beast roared to the sky.
"How could this be...?"
Nagato stared blankly at the scene.
