The Akatsuki Organization Belongs to the Uchiha Now

Ren's tone did not change.

"They were never yours."

Squelch!

He plucked out the second Rinnegan.

Blood streamed from both of Nagato's eyes.

Suspended in midair, his face twisted with pain, Nagato finally lost the strength to resist.

With the Rinnegan gone, the violent ocular power within him rapidly faded.

Hashirama's Cells and Madara's Cells continued to repair his body.

But without the Rinnegan, those powers could no longer keep him at his former, almost godlike strength.

Ren held the two Rinnegan before his palm.

Obito had no choice but to retreat for now.

He placed his last hope in Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu had already infiltrated the Uchiha District.

If all had gone according to plan, he should have
