Uchiha, but a Brahmin!

Chapter 131 Naruto: Nagato, this is not your Rinnegan!

A mass of black mud was pierced by a group of Imperial warriors using tools made of various chakra. A large number of incantations poured out and appeared on Black Zetsu's body, ultimately sealing the black mud that had existed for thousands of years.

Black Zetsu completely lost the ability to struggle and could only be sealed away in utter despair.

At this moment, Black Zetsu felt utterly desperate, pained, and bewildered. He didn't understand why, why this was happening, or where these people had come from!

Just a few dozen minutes ago, everything was fine, the situation was excellent, and everything was going in the direction he had envisioned. He would soon be able to fulfill his ultimate wish and resurrect his mother.

Then he was sealed away.

He was sealed away by a group of humans who appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Not only him, but also Obito, his Kamui was broken, and everything was over.

So-called scheming, so-called plans, so-called destiny, all crumbled without resistance under absolute power. It's like playing chess. Black is the player who, through constant scheming and calculation, is finally about to checkmate the opponent. But then the opponent makes an unexpected move, flipping the board and killing him with it.

You're a master chess player! You're cunning and scheming! You can see through fate! Your wisdom is astounding! You're amazing!

You're amazing!

But you don't have absolute power!

Before absolute power, all schemes and plots are nothing but paper tigers, which can be easily defeated!

"No, let me go, let me go!"

Black Zetsu roared and howled in his heart. He wanted to struggle, but under the suppression of the seal, all his resistance was in vain.

He's finished!

It's all over!

……

above the sky.

Not only are Obito and Black Zetsu finished, but Nagato is finished too.

Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan and wielded the Gedo Mazo, was indeed very strong. However, he was too weak and was far inferior to Naruto, who possessed a combination of Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Mode, Sage Mode, and Eight Gates Mode.

This battle was a complete rout.

Above the sky, a huge meteorite slowly descended. The next moment, a huge Tailed Beast Ball shot out from below, collided with the meteorite, and shattered it.

"Nagato, you are no match for me. I know you seek peace. Now, for the sake of great peace, give me your eyes. They are not something you should have in the first place!"

Naruto, having released a Tailed Beast Ball, looked down at Nagato, who was sitting atop the Gedo Mazo in the distance, and spoke gently.

"Don't even think about it!"

Nagato shook his head, immediately intending to launch another attack.

In the distance, Naruto shook his head, his aura surged, and he charged forward again.

Not long after...

"Forehead……"

Amidst the ruins, a hand gripped Nagato's neck and lifted him up.

"Nagato, I warned you before. With just a pair of Rinnegan, you could never be my match. Besides, these Rinnegan aren't even your eyes; you're merely the vessel for them!"

Naruto grabbed Nagato by the neck and, amidst Nagato's pained and desperate gaze, gouged out his eyes. Thus, the life of a powerful figure, Nagato, came to an end!

Without the Rinnegan and with his body already crippled, he had completely lost his power.

Naruto casually tossed Nagato to the ground, looked at the eye in his hand with satisfaction, and was just about to leave.

"Give it back to me..."

Suddenly, a thin, bony hand grabbed his shoe. A hoarse, pained sound came from Nagato's mouth. He trembled, desperately raising his head to meet Naruto's gaze with his empty eye sockets. At that moment, he felt utterly hopeless and tormented. He couldn't lose those eyes. No, he still had dreams. He hadn't yet realized his dreams, hadn't yet achieved the peace he envisioned. And all of this was built upon those eyes. He couldn't lose the Rinnegan.

"No way! Once it's in my hands, it's mine. I won't give it to you!"

Seeing Nagato's state, Naruto frowned. His kind nature caused a flicker of pity in his eyes. How pitiful! But he would not give the Rinnegan to Nagato, because it was no longer Nagato's Rinnegan.

He instinctively raised his foot and crushed Nagato's withered, bamboo-like arm. With a cracking sound, Nagato let out another scream.

"Give it back to me! Give me back my Rinnegan!"

Nagato screamed, lying on the ground, using his only remaining hand to support his body as he climbed forward like a demon, trying to take back the Rinnegan from Naruto's hands.

His body had suffered severe injuries; his ribcage was broken, and his internal organs were damaged.

"No, I've already told you, Nagato, this isn't your Rinnegan. It was never yours to begin with. It's my Rinnegan! I just had Madara Uchiha place it on you, using your body as a culture medium to keep the eyes active, and incidentally, to let you carry out your plan to collect the Tailed Beasts. It was never yours to begin with."

Naruto shook his head, reluctantly raising his foot to casually stomp off Nagato's outstretched hand, then stepped on Nagato's head, explaining helplessly.

"Give it back to me..."

Unfortunately, Nagato, having lost his Rinnegan and suffered severe injuries, is now delirious. All he can think about now are those eyes—the eyes that allowed him to realize his dreams. Some things are only truly valued when they are lost.

Without the Rinnegan, how could he achieve his dream?

"Yahiko..."

"Your Yahiko is long dead. I even smashed his corpse to pieces. Stop shouting, Nagato. I can't possibly return these eyes to you. I need power too. I need to be responsible for the Empire. Only with great power can I return to the embrace of our great and benevolent father. Do you understand? Otherwise, I wouldn't have any interest in these eyes at all!"

Naruto sighed as he looked at Nagato, and explained with utmost sincerity, without thinking there was anything wrong with what he said.

"Ah, Naruto Uzumaki, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!!! Cough cough cough!"

Nagato, who was already somewhat delirious, heard about Yahiko and immediately began to struggle. The violent struggle aggravated his injuries, and he started coughing up blood violently.

"You can't kill me. Don't forget, I'm the one who turned you into this. How could you possibly kill me? You're almost dead now!"

Naruto looked at Nagato like this, shook his head, and felt a little confused. "I'm the one who beat you up like this, so why are you saying you want to kill me? You can't beat me!" But he was kind-hearted after all, a sunny and cheerful boy. Gouging out Nagato's eyes made him very happy, and he didn't mind comforting Nagato. Maybe that would cheer Nagato up.

"But it's okay, you're going to die soon anyway, hahaha, it won't hurt anymore once you're dead, hahaha. Besides, Nagato, once you die, you'll be able to see your Yahiko soon, aren't you a little excited? Oh, right, and Konan too, should I send her down to keep you company later? Otherwise, you two will be too lonely down there!"
