Means of Resurrection

Feeling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, whose permissions he had now fully obtained, Uchiha Ensei instinctively harbored some doubts and inspected it for quite a while longer.

But in the end, everything seemed normal. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was almost excessively obedient.

There was no point continuing such meaningless investigation. If Black Zetsu truly had the ability to hide any flaw from even his current self, then Black Zetsu could probably resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki on his own.

He briefly unleashed the power controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, releasing a heavy pressure unique to chakra.

From a glimpse of one spot, one could judge the whole. This was merely an empty shell that had lost its nine Tailed Beasts; the true Ten-Tails was absolutely not something his counterfeit creation could compare to.

"Pff!!!"

With a movement from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Nagato, who had been sealed inside its body, was easily spat out.

The instant Nagato appeared, Madara Uchiha used Susanoo and tightly clenched him within its palm.

It seemed Madara Uchiha was quite wary of Nagato as well.

"His vital signs are stable, but his life force is continuously draining at an accelerating rate. He probably has less than three days left to live."

With just one glance, Uchiha Ensei roughly discerned Nagato's current condition.

The precise details of what he had experienced still needed verification, but one thing was certain: Nagato was indeed close to death.

What use did Black Zetsu have for Nagato in this state?

"Madara, I'm curious. Black Zetsu should have once presented himself as your will. In that case, the person who truly sealed Nagato inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path should have been you."

"Could you tell me what exactly happened?"
