Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 967 Uchiha Madara’s Resurrection
Uchiha Madara, the legendary strong man, finally displayed the ultimate eye technique given by his Rinnegan - "Rinnegan".

As he chanted in a low and powerful voice, the space seemed to be torn apart, and several dark shadows emerged silently. They were like ghosts in the night, without substance, but emitting a pressure that should not be underestimated.

Each of these shadows is an extension of Madara's will and power. Not only have they inherited the original's astonishing fighting skills, they also possess a comparable amount of chakra. They seem to be warriors who have descended from another dimension, born for destruction.

They shuttled through the air, as elusive as ghosts, surrounding Nagato and the members of the Akatsuki organization from all sides, forming an airtight death cage.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

Nagato widened his eyes, looking at the invisible threats around him in disbelief.

Although he possessed the Rinnegan and could see the shadow of the Rinnegan, he felt unprecedented shock and powerlessness at the power displayed by Madara at this moment.

Shinra Tensei, the defense and counterattack skills that he was proud of, seemed to have lost their former power at this moment.

Although the powerful repulsive force could shake the heaven and earth, it could only touch Madara's body, and had no effect on those ghostly shadows.

The members of Akatsuki also fell into panic. There were many battle-hardened elites among them, but faced with such an extraordinary attack method, they could only hold on and try to find a chance to escape.

Especially the immortal duo, their proud regeneration ability seemed so fragile when facing the black stick created by Madara. The flow of chakra was ruthlessly blocked and their strength was greatly reduced.

"Nagato, your strength is far from enough."

Uchiha Madara's voice pierced through the noise of the battlefield, carrying a hint of sarcasm and disdain.

He seemed to be enjoying a carefully staged drama, and everyone on the field, including Nagato, were just chess pieces in his hands.

"Use that technique. I know you can do it. Only in this way can you save her and free yourself from this endless cycle of reincarnation."

Konan, the woman who always stood silently behind Nagato, was now being lifted up high by a shadow. There was no fear in her eyes, only deep worry and reluctance towards Nagato.

Nagato's heart was deeply hurt. He looked at Konan, then at Madara, his heart full of struggles and choices.

He knew that once he used the Samsara Technique, not only would he exhaust all his strength, he might even lose the power of the Samsara Eye forever. But if he didn't do this, Xiaonan would...

When Nagato thought of this possibility, he couldn't accept it.

"Nagato, don't..."

Konan's voice was weak but firm, she didn't want to see Nagato sacrifice himself to save her.

The moment Nagato decided to perform the Reincarnation Technique, the entire space seemed to freeze, and even the tension and despair in the air solidified into substance.

Xiaonan's eyes were filled with reluctance and determination. She tried to struggle, but found that she was powerless to stop it.

"Xiao Nan, this is what I have to do."

Nagato understood that this was the last effort he could make for Konan.

"I was lost, blinded by hatred and pain, but at this last moment, I hope to use everything I have to bring back your life."

As Nagato finished his words, he began to slowly form hand seals, each of which condensed all of his strength and will.

The arrangement and combination of these hand seals is the unique secret of the Art of Reincarnation.

Madara's laughter sounded particularly harsh at this time. He didn't seem to care about Nagato's sacrifice. Instead, he was full of anticipation for the upcoming "rebirth".

"Don't worry. You have White Zetsu with you now, plus the vigorous vitality of the Uzumaki clan that has been restored. You may not die. There is a great possibility that you will survive. When the time comes, you will be able to experience the peace that I bring!"

However, Nagato's mind was clear of distractions. As the last hand seal was completed, an indescribable power burst out from his body. This power was so strong and pure that it seemed to be able to penetrate the boundary between life and death and reverse the world.

Under the influence of this power, Nagato's body began to undergo amazing changes.

His hair turned white quickly and his skin lost its luster, becoming rough and dull, as if he had aged dozens of years overnight.

What’s even more terrifying is that his vitality is dissipating at an alarming rate, and cells throughout his body are dying in large numbers, as if he were performing a silent sacrifice.

"No! Nagato!"

Xiaonan's cries were heartbreaking. She tried her best to stop it all, but her power seemed so small in front of the Reincarnation Technique.

She could only watch Nagato walk towards the end of his life step by step, and use his own life in exchange for her survival.

At the same time, Madara's body also changed. His filthy earth body began to collapse, the cracks gradually disappeared, and were replaced by fresh flesh and blood.

His heart started beating again and his blood boiled and flowed in his body, bringing a long-lost vitality and energy.

He bit his arm, tasted the sweetness of blood, and felt the reality and pain of being a living person.

“This is what it feels like to be alive…”

Madara muttered.

He opened his eyes, and those once lifeless eyes now sparkled with bright light.

However, when he tried to check his Samsara Eye, he found that they had turned into fragments and disappeared without a trace. This was not surprising, because he was no longer the undead who relied on the Impure World Reincarnation to exist.

However, at this moment, Black Zetsu suddenly attacked.

While everyone's attention was on Madara, he quietly approached Nagato's dying body and quickly dug out Nagato's two Rinnegan.

"Madara-sama! Your Rinnegan!"

Black Zetsu excitedly handed the Rinnegan to Madara.

Madara was slightly startled, then he smiled with satisfaction. He took the Samsara Eye and installed it back into his eye socket without hesitation.

With the return of the Rinnegan, his power once again made a qualitative leap.

However, this joy did not last long.

When Madara tried to check his physical condition, he was surprised to find that a face of Hashirama Senju was bulging out of his chest. This face was larger than a normal person's face, and looked particularly strange and terrifying.

"Hashi Lama, your power has been reborn in my body."

Uchiha Madara quickly understood the reason: Hashirama's cells were too overbearing.

His body is a clone of Hashirama Senju, so it is normal for this situation to occur.

However, now he has also obtained the power of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release!
"Let go... Xiaonan..."

Nagato said with his empty eyes open.
