Black Zetsu, who had just knocked Hyuga Shinichi away, was just letting his guard down when Minato Namikaze seized this rare opportunity!
"laugh--"
The sharp kunai blade sliced directly through Nagato's chest, cleaving Black Zetsu's body in two and even injuring Nagato's body. The wound penetrated several inches into the skin, hitting a vital spot, and blood flowed uncontrollably.
A look of bewilderment appeared on Nagato's face, which was shrouded in Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu had not expected that Konoha's Golden Flash would be so fast and so sudden. He felt that he still had many tricks up his sleeve that he had not yet used.
However, the strong smell of blood pulled Black Zetsu back to reality.
"This kind of injury..."
"It's nothing at all!!!"
Black Zetsu let out a sharp roar. Having been slashed once, he had lost his mind. Suddenly, wooden spikes sprouted from his black body and shot directly at Minato.
"Wood escape?"
Minato was taken aback and immediately raised his hand to block with a Rasengan. The incoming wood spikes were instantly ground into wood chips upon contact with the Rasengan.
"Go to hell!"
"asshole!"
Black Zetsu roared again, and just as he was about to use Nagato's body to use a wide-range Wood Release technique, dense black runes suddenly appeared on the wound on his chest.
A short distance away, Minato was making a hand seal with his right hand, which was holding a kunai. The concealment was so great that even Black Zetsu, who had connected with the Rinnegan, did not notice him.
The cursed seal spread rapidly from the wounds on Nagato's body. As the seal spread, Black Zetsu felt that he could no longer control Nagato's body.
My body... seems to be imprisoned?
The seal of self-karma bondage!
While successfully attacking Nagato, Minato also planted a cursed seal on him. As Kushina's husband, he was not only skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan.
He also inherited the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and in terms of mastery of sealing techniques, he was even more proficient and skilled than Kushina, who disliked studying.
Throughout the entire ninja world, no one dares to claim that their mastery of sealing techniques surpasses that of the Fourth Hokage.
Even the third generation, known as "Professor," couldn't match Minato in this aspect.
With the activation of the Karmic Binding Seal, Minato showed no sign of letting up, quickly pulling out a scroll from his robes and beginning to rapidly form hand seals.
He knew that the power of the cursed seal could not bind the opponent for long, and he needed a more powerful sealing technique to completely seal the opponent.
Minato's most proficient technique, the Four Symbols Seal, naturally became his first choice for sealing the opponent.
The Four Symbols Seal is extremely powerful; even with double enhancement, it can seal the cataclysmic power of the Nine-Tailed Fox. If successful, it will surely resolve the current troubles completely.
However, while Minato was making preparations, Black Zetsu had already realized what methods the other party was using to restrict him, and instead used the power of the Preta Path to absorb the power of Minato's cursed seal.
As the cursed seal began to disappear and dissipate on Nagato's body, Black Zetsu's sense of control over Nagato's body reappeared.
"Hmph... I won't let you escape my control!"
Black Zetsu chuckled, and at that moment Minato also ripped open the scroll, shouting and forming hand seals as he did so:
"Shinichi, stop him!"
As Minato Namikaze shouted, Shinichi Hyuga appeared from his side, lunging forward to reach Nagato. With a thrust of his black rod, he pierced Nagato's heart once more. At the same time, Shinichi's chakra helped Nagato and Black Zetsu fight for control of their bodies.
The newly activated Hungry Ghost Path ability also suddenly stopped due to Shinichi's interference.
The self-inflicted curse mark on Nagato's body spread rapidly, soon covering his entire body.
Shinichi Hyuga felt that his control over the enemy was not strong enough, so he thrust out several more black rods, piercing eight vital points on Nagato's body in succession. While increasing the interference, he also left Nagato with fatal wounds.
The moment Black Zetsu left his body was, in fact, Nagato's death day.
Feeling Nagato's body slip out of his control, Black Zetsu let out a sharp cry, clearly enraged, his half-face contorted in a hideous grimace.
On the contrary, Nagato, who had foreseen the outcome, remained calm and even smiled at Shinichi Hyuga and Minato not far away.
"Please... take good care of Konan and the Land of Rain for me."
"Please pass on this message to Jiraiya-sensei..."
"He was disappointed that he failed to become the child of prophecy..."
As they spoke, blood flowed from the gate.

Chapter 168 The Seal, the Pawn Without Restraint (Please Subscribe)
Shinichi Hyuga's black rod pierced several vital points on Nagato's body, and the pain and weakness he felt made Nagato realize that he was probably not long for this world.
Minato's cursed seal spread rapidly across his body, fixing him firmly in place, unable to move. Under the influence of Shinichi Hyuga's chakra, Black Zetsu also lost control of Nagato's body, making it impossible to use White Zetsu cells to repair Nagato's injuries.
Although Nagato had regained control of his body, he did not want to be used as a pawn and had no intention of repairing his injuries. As his life force rapidly faded away, he also left behind his last words.
Only when a person is on their deathbed can they truly see what kind of person they really are.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Nagato knew perfectly well that she had been living in hatred all these years.
Yahiko's death was such a blow to him that it completely changed his life.
Thinking of Yahiko and Jiraiya's expectations, Nagato couldn't help but smile bitterly, and blood spilled from his mouth along with his smile.
A little further away, Minato Namikaze had also prepared his sealing technique and arrived at Nagato's side. However, he did not rush to make a move and stood silently to the side, listening to Nagato's last words.
"In the end... I was too weak. I couldn't face the cruel reality and led Xiao down a different path."
"If I can always stay true to myself...maybe..."
Blood gushed from his throat, causing Nagato to pause in his words.
Seeing that Nagato had taken control of the body and offered no resistance, appearing to be at Nagato's mercy, Black Zetsu let out a shrill roar. At the same time, he also tried to separate his body from Nagato's, not wanting to be sealed away with Nagato.
However, Shinichi Hyuga's black rod pierced through both his and Nagato's bodies simultaneously, effectively pinning Black Zetsu firmly to Nagato's body. No matter how much Black Zetsu struggled, he was unable to break free from Nagato's body.
At this moment, he finally realized what the black rods nailed to his body were. Looking at Shinichi Hyuga's Byakugan, Black Zetsu's fear intensified, and he struggled harder and harder.
However, Shinichi Hyuga, through the black rods transmitting chakra, was influencing Nagato while also attempting to control Black Zetsu. This made it difficult for Black Zetsu to detach from Nagato's body.
"Bastard, let me go!"
"Do you even know who I am? You brat from the Hyuga clan, I'm your ancestor, your ancestor!!!"
"Let me leave! Let me leave!"
Despite Black Zetsu's roars and struggles, Minato and Shinichi were focused on Nagato and completely ignored Black Zetsu.
Ancestor? !
Shinichi Hyuga had no intention of paying any attention to this guy who didn't recognize himself. He was just a product that Kaguya had temporarily created to escape, and he was a completely different kind of "creature" from Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.
If Black Zetsu possessed power similar to those two brothers, he wouldn't have needed to hide for so many years and manipulate generation after generation of Indra reincarnations to achieve his goals.
And sadly, Black Zetsu has never succeeded in all these years.
Black Zetsu claims to be Kaguya's third son, but in reality, he doesn't even deserve the title of Otsutsuki.
As Nagato's life force weakened, in the end, what he was most worried about was Konan and the Land of Rain.
Konan was his closest friend, and the Land of Rain... although it was the place where he suffered all his pain, it was still the land that gave him birth and nurtured him. The warm moments he shared with his parents and the few happy times he had with his friends were all on this land.
“Please…”
Nagato was unable to protect everything himself, so he entrusted it all to his fellow disciple, Minato Namikaze.
"I promise you, I will take good care of Konan and I will do my best to bring peace to the Land of Rain!"
"As long as I live, I will not break my promise to you!"
Minato Namikaze approached Nagato and made a solemn promise.
Hearing Minato's gentle yet powerful words, Nagato finally nodded at Minato, a smile appearing on his face. At the same time, Nagato's pupils dilated, and his aura gradually faded.
In the end, he left this world with hope and expectation in his heart.
The hatred was not extinguished, but... it was not passed on either.
Sensing that Nagato's life force was fading, Minato Namikaze no longer hesitated. Although Nagato was dead, the incident was not completely over.
Black Zetsu is still alive, isn't he?
Moreover, seeing Black Zetsu still full of vitality despite being pierced through the body by Shinichi Hyuga's black rod, he realized that conventional methods would not be effective against this guy.
Moreover, Nagato's Rinnegan also needs to be dealt with properly, otherwise it will bring disaster to the world again.
Minato plans to use sealing techniques to completely seal Nagato's eyes and Black Zetsu.
The sealed scroll was guarded and suppressed by Mount Myōboku, and only in this way could it be absolutely safe.
With a gentle toss of the scroll above Nagato, intricate incantations and patterns flowed slowly from it, the ink rapidly enveloping Nagato and Black Zetsu's bodies.
Just as Minato was releasing the seal, Konan finally rushed over. Seeing Nagato, who was now lifeless, this strong woman finally couldn't hold back her emotions, knelt on the water, and burst into tears.
From the moment Nagato was manipulated, Konan had a bad feeling. In the end... Nagato still couldn't escape his fate of death.
However, seeing Black Zetsu screaming under the sealing technique somewhat lessened Konan's sorrow.
At least... Nagato didn't completely become someone else's puppet and pawn, which brought Konan some comfort.
The Four Symbols Seal is very powerful. Even Black Zetsu, under the suppression of the Black Rod, was powerless against this sealing technique. In just a few seconds, the black runes and seals enveloped the two of them and entered the scroll.
