Konan's face was slightly pale, and her mental state did not look too good.
This was an extremely rare thing, because Konan had always paid great attention to her appearance and attire. At least she had to maintain her dignity as much as possible when facing these unruly fellows in the organization.
Now, she stared coldly at these people in front of her.
It was unknown how many of them sincerely hoped that Nagato would be safe and sound, but there were a few who wished that Nagato would die.
Hiruko lowered his head and hid the surprise in his heart.
Nagato actually didn't die? What kind of joke was this? The one who defeated Nagato was that terrifying man. With that guy personally taking action, Nagato actually came back alive?
Kakuzu sneered, "Then, since the leader is safe, please let the leader come out and tell us what happened."
After a while, a figure walked out from the darkness.
It was indeed Nagato.
However, everyone present was strong. Other than Duy, they all had sharp senses. They immediately realized that there was something wrong with this Nagato.
The aura was much weaker, and the amount of chakra was even less than the original Nagato.
"Well, there are black sticks stuck into his body, isn't this the Pain puppet made by the leader?" Kisame laughed immediately when he found something interesting.
To make a puppet into his own appearance and take his place?
Doesn't this mean that...
"Oh! Leader, could it be that you were forced to use a puppet to move because you were almost killed by Yuuji and were seriously injured?" Might Duy shouted loudly.
"... "
Nagato resisted the urge to kill these juniors. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The eyes of the puppet Nagato were dim, but it was undoubtedly Rinnegan.
To put it bluntly, this was a fake eye.
Even if the body of Pain he created was killed and destroyed, the projection of Rinnegan in his eyes would not dissipate.
In the case of losing his eyes, Nagato could only use this method to intimidate these bastards.
However, if they really wanted to fight, it would be over. Nagato could only use five ordinary escape techniques and could no longer use Rinnegan's Hitomi technique.
"Speaking of which, the one who really shocked us should be Mangekyou Sharingan. Who would have thought that the leader's eyes could actually turn to Mangekyou Sharingan..."
Kakuzu praised.
They had recently heard about what happened to Konoha.
Nagato was able to use 200 meters tall Susanoo, which was almost the absolute power of a god. Even if he used this Susanoo to launch ordinary physical attack, it still had the power to destroy heaven and earth.
But who asked Nagato to encounter that guy Yuuji?
That guy actually also developed a stronger Godzilla mode, pulling out the 200 meters tall Godzilla and Nagato to fight each other.
Thinking about it, the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara back then was just this.
"Mr. Madara, don't you want to comment on something? Nagato has the same eyes as you, or did you already know that Mangekyou Sharingan could advance to Rinnegan? Do you also have Rinnegan?"
Obito met many fearful and jealous gazes and said coldly, "I don't know about this matter. Otherwise, I would have made my eyes advance to Rinnegan long ago."
"Hehehe, you're right..."
Everyone exchanged glances, and their thoughts were different. As for whether to believe it or not, it depends on the individual.
Anyway, Duy believed it.
"Our organization encountered a small setback, but it doesn't matter."
Nagato said, "Next, our organization will temporarily lay low for a period of time, focusing on accumulating funds and searching for Orochimaru's whereabouts. When the time is right, Bijuu will seize the opportunity."
"It's just a small setback, why do I feel that it's very serious..." White Zetsu whispered.
The others looked at White Zetsu. "Speaking of which, what about your other half? Why are you the only one left?"
"I'm not sure. Who knows what he did? Chief seemed to be very angry when he mentioned him..." White Zetsu pretended to be innocent.
If he dared to tell the truth,
Nagato tore him apart in minutes.
The matter of Black-Zetsu taking away Rinnegan was absolutely not allowed to be made public. Nagato wanted to search for the whereabouts of Black-Zetsu and lock his eyes back.
"Sigh, this is boring. I don't know when we will be as active as before," Kisame said.
There were no fools present. On the contrary, each one was more cunning than the other. They had already realized that Nagato's body had suffered a serious injury. He would probably need a long time to recover his strength.
Hiruko's eyes flashed. He had the intention to devour Nagato, but he hesitated for a long time before giving up.
He was not sure how weak Nagato was. If he attacked, the risk was too great and it was easy to lose his life.
Moreover, with Konan constantly guarding Nagato, he had no chance.
After everyone had dispersed.
Pain's puppet and Konan arrived in front of Nagato.
"Still can't?" Konan looked at Nagato worriedly.
"Yes, I can indeed sense the existence of Rinnegan, but this eye has completely fallen silent, as if it has been crippled."
In the dark, Nagato moved.
He used the body of White Zetsu's clone to maintain the survival of his brain.
He opened his eyes, revealing the only remaining eye that had already turned into a grayish-white.
"Izanagi, the person who used this technique is simply a genius. He actually found a way to play with established reality... I'm already so strong. If I want to change the reality of my death, I'm afraid I can only sacrifice Rinnegan."
Nagato's expression was very gloomy.
After he activated Izanagi's resurrection from Root's base, his expression had not been good.
"Without Rinnegan, I would not have been able to use the powerful Hitomi technique, let alone control the Gedo Statue... Either I have to find a way to repair this eye, or I have to find Black-Zetsu no matter what!"
At the mention of Black-Zetsu, Nagato gritted his teeth and felt extreme hatred in his heart.
Originally, according to his plan, even if he was killed in battle, after sacrificing one Rinnegan to exchange for a life, there was still another Rinnegan that could be used. The impact on his strength was not too excessive.
Bang!
At this time, the door of the secret room was opened and two figures walked in.
"What are you guys trying to do!" Konan immediately stood in front of Nagato with a face full of anger and nervousness.
"Get out of the way, Konan. If these two guys want to fight, you won't be able to stop them." Nagato closed his eyes again.
Konan's face was full of unwillingness. "I also have the God's Paper Spell. I can definitely drag the two of them to their deaths..."
"Stop dreaming, Konan. Have you forgotten that I taught Nagato's Izanagi to him? He can even use Izanagi to change his fate. I can do the same." Within Obito's mask, the three tomoeSharingan was constantly rotating.
Nagato's expression remained unchanged. "What can I do for you two to look for me at this time?"
Xu shook his head and stood a few meters away from Nagato and Konan - even though this distance was not worth mentioning to experts like them.
"I heard what happened from White Zetsu. I didn't expect it to be like this. Black-Zetsu betrayed us..."
"Hmph, are you sure that Black-Zetsu is betraying us and not obeying your orders?" Konan said hatefully.
"Calm down. If I were to attack Nagato, I would have already done so. Would I still tolerate a foolish little girl like you acting so impudently in front of us?" Obito snorted coldly.
To be honest, Obito was also stunned.
He had never given an order to remove his eyes from Black-Zetsu.
However, it was indeed Obito who taught Izanagi to save his life.
In Obito's heart, on one hand, he did not want Yuuji to beat Nagato. He did not want to see Yuuji's arrogant and disgusting attitude. On the other hand, he hoped that Yuuji would kill Nagato so that Nagato would die once.
The current Nagato was too strong. Obito seriously suspected that even if Uchiha Madara revived, it would be very difficult to take down such a Nagato, and he might even overturn.
Therefore, Obito had been looking for a way to weaken Nagato.
Sending Izanagi out would not only save Nagato's life and Rinnegan's, but also severely weaken Nagato's combat strength. It was very cost-effective.
However, Obito was caught off guard by Black-Zetsu's coquettish actions.
The blind Nagato's strength had fallen to an extremely low level, and his value was already not much.
Obito used Sharingan to observe Nagato's gray eyes and fell silent. He obviously felt that it was very troublesome.
Xu said, "That guy, Black-Zetsu, betrayed all of us. This is obvious. Although we don't know what he has gone crazy for, finding him and killing him is what we have to do."
"Although the strength of the two of you is barely acceptable, it is still very dangerous to deal with the current Black-Zetsu. He has my Rinnegan." Nagato snorted coldly.
"... Do your best. "
After the conversation ended, under Konan's vigilant eyes, Obito and Xu did nothing and left directly.
When there was no one around, Obito immediately cursed.
"That bastard Black-Zetsu, how dare he do such a thing! He was clearly Madara's will, but now he actually... In other words, with Madara's logic, would he also take away Nagato's eyes" Obito was furious.
His rhythm was completely disrupted, and it even caused the super Kage level's combat strength to be crippled.
The entire Akatsuki was forced to keep a low profile.
Obito was really worried. If the Eye Organization took advantage of this period of time to become active and even attacked Akatsuki, what would they do?
"Black-Zetsu's actions are indeed surprising, but the problem is, what is the use of him doing this? Is he just coveting Rinnegan's power? How much power can he unleash?" Xu said in a deep voice.
Obito thought for a moment, and a trace of deep coldness flashed through his eyes. "Maybe, Madara can't stand it anymore. Black-Zetsu is the embodiment of Madara's will. He naturally knows how to use Rinnegan. Maybe..."
"You mean, the Reincarnation Heavenly Art? Black-Zetsu wants to resurrect Uchiha Madara?" Xu said in surprise.
"That's right, other than this, is there any other possibility? Madara's will wants to revive Madara, this is very reasonable." Obito gritted his teeth.
Xu fell silent. Logically speaking, there was indeed no problem.
However, Xu was clear that Black-Zetsu, that bastard, wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the eye organization. It was likely that he had his eyes on the eye of the organization.
After all, it was still risky to rely on a pair of Rinnegan to resurrect Kaguya. It was better to take the opportunity to find out the inside story of the organization and prepare for the resurrection of Kaguya.
Originally, in the timeline, Obito guided and cultivated Sasuke, allowing Sasuke to have eternal Mangekyou. One of the purposes was to use Sasuke's eternal eyes as a tool, just in case.
If there was an accident, Obito could cultivate Sasuke's eternal eyes into Rinnegan and make a comeback.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the change.
Obito did not covet Itachi's eyes, but transplanted them to Sasuke, and then rushed to the battlefield.
After Sasuke merged with two pairs of eyes, his mentality swelled, and he even wanted to use Susanoo to pull up his pants, betraying Obito in minutes, and also killing White Zetsu in passing.
Soon after, the matter of Orochimaru's resurrection and the four Hokage rushing to the battlefield directly changed the whole situation of the battle.
This move of Obito really screwed him to death.
"No matter what, we can only secretly search for Black-Zetsu's whereabouts. Our organization can't be high-profile right now... Nagato first lost to Hitomi, then lost to me. He's probably going crazy." Xu shook his head.
Obito glared at him fiercely. "You bastard, if in a battle..."
"Stop it, in that level of battle, a little distraction will lead to disastrous consequences, and you would do stupid things like show mercy?" Xu interrupted.
Obito opened his mouth, but in the end, he was silent.
It was a fool to hold back.
It was very normal for him to hold back and be killed instead.
Xu continued, "The main body killing Nagato is a matter of course. It was him who rushed to Konoha for death. What can he do? It doesn't matter when he comes to me. I don't have any plans to attack Nagato. Anyway, I am just a clone."
Moreover, the current Nagato probably didn't even have Kage level's strength.
"Nagato can't fall like this. I have to find a way to recover his remaining eye. Why don't you let Kazue try using Hitomi?" Obito looked at Yuuji and said in a low voice.
He said sarcastically, "Compared to Nagato, you want Kazue to recover your eyes more."
"Hmph, the result is the same. Everything is for peace," Obito said.
"Of course, you can also choose to attack Kazue yourself. Don't blame me if you are beaten to death. That woman is stronger than you," Xu said.
"Nonsense! I have Hashirama's cells, how can I lose to her?"
"Tsk, you only have one Mangekyou left and you still dare to talk back. It's up to you."
He drilled into the ground and disappeared.
Obito stood there for a while, then turned into a ball of whirlpool and disappeared.
For a long time in the future, Akatsuki was going to be quiet. There was nothing he could do about it.
...
Shin went to Orochimaru again.
Wearing black clothes, wearing a special mask, and carrying a Uchiha fan on his back.
"Not bad, Shin. You look more like Uchiha Madara now." Orochimaru smiled.
"Shut up. Even if Uchiha Madara is revived, he might not be my match." After Shin got the fan, his heart grew again.
He already had two divine weapons.
"Orochimaru, although I don't know what you got from Konoha, your gains will definitely not be small. Our deal is complete, right? It's time for you to fulfill your promise." Shin said.
Orochimaru laughed deeply, "Of course, let's begin. It's a long process to perfect the cloning technology."
