The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"Is another person trying to seize the Rinnegan? Too bad, it's too late."

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice came from Nagato's mouth, sending chills down one's spine.

"So you're no longer hiding it? Such a powerful Yin-Yang Escape Technique cannot be performed by a product of mere will."

Hinata Sawa Tatsumi sighed, looking at Nagato who was unable to move due to being possessed by Black Zetsu, and was at a loss for what to do.

Yin-Yang Escape Technique?

Itachi Uchiha was initially puzzled as to why Nagato, despite being so powerful, could not have his body taken over so quickly, even after being ambushed by Black Zetsu, as if he had completely given up resisting.

It's not that they don't want to resist, but that they are powerless to resist!

Is there any way to resolve this?

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's gaze fall on him, Hyuga Zechen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Even Itachi Uchiha, who later became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, was powerless to resist when Black Zetsu used Yin-Yang Release: Spirit Fusion, allowing him to be manipulated and become the vessel for reviving Kaguya Otsutsuki. How much more so for Nagato now?

Looking across the entire ninja world, only Hagoromo Otsutsuki has the ability to counter this move.

The thick, black liquid kept flowing across Nagato's body, almost completely covering his entire surface.

"You know too much. If I didn't have more important things to deal with, I certainly wouldn't have let you go."

As he manipulated Nagato's body to slowly sink into the earth, Hyuga Zetsu could clearly feel Black Zetsu's malicious gaze fixed on him.

Has Black Zetsu set its sights on them?

Hinata Sawatatsu was not too worried about this.

He was neither Obito nor Madara Uchiha, so he wouldn't give the opponent a chance to launch a sneak attack.

If it were a direct confrontation, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Let's go, let's go to the main battlefield and clean up the mess."

Byakugan watched Black Zetsu disappear into the depths of the earth, then vanished at an almost instantaneous speed, prompting Hyuga Zetsu to marvel at the speed of Black Zetsu's escape technique, which was probably no less than that of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"I...I won't go."

After a few seconds of silence, Itachi Uchiha shook his head, a rare look of hesitation on his face.

After this surprise attack, Itachi Uchiha's identity was completely exposed, and he certainly could no longer stay in the Akatsuki organization. However, for Sasuke Uchiha's sake, he absolutely could not return to Konoha.

Even though Konoha was his hometown and his spiritual home.

Only by having Sasuke kill him, a rogue ninja, can he return to Konoha as a hero.

"I will report what happened here to the Fifth Boss."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Hinata Zechen disappeared, leaving only Uchiha Itachi in the dimly lit cave.

Uchiha Itachi turned away dejectedly and walked out of the cave step by step, letting the torrential rain outside drench him.

Once Sasuke grows up, everything will be over.

-----------------

Roar!

After a period of blind venting, the rampaging demonic statues gradually quieted down.

The area within a radius of more than ten miles centered on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has now become a huge valley, with torrential rain flowing down like a waterfall and converging around the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Swish!

With a whooshing sound, Hyuga Zechen's figure appeared, looking down at the Gedo Mazo below.

Unfortunately, even with the Nine-Tails chakra he had already absorbed, he was still missing the Eight-Tails Gyūki's chakra to become the complete Ten-Tails. If he were to try to seal the Gedo Mazo now, it would only be a thankless task.

Once Black Zetsu has completely taken control of Nagato, he will inevitably summon the Gedo Mazo immediately.

I can only take this opportunity to absorb a little bit of soup.

A ball of chakra condensed from Hyuga Zechen's palm, transforming into a beam of light that landed on the surface of the Gedo Mazo, beginning to continuously draw chakra from the Gedo Mazo.

Roar!

The Gedo Mazo, which had just returned to calm, suddenly stirred. Staring at Hyuga Zetsu standing in the distance, it instinctively opened its mouth wide, and a Tailed Beast Ball quickly condensed, blasting towards Hyuga Zetsu.

Chapter 158 The Vanishing Gedo Statue

Although the Gedo Mazo has no intelligence, it instinctively sensed the tailed beast chakra within Hyuga Sawatatsu's body and couldn't wait to reclaim that chakra.

Even the Eight-Tails Gyūki could identify the chakra of a Tailed Beast, so the Gedo Mazo must be no exception; otherwise, it wouldn't have launched a Tailed Beast Ball directly.

Faced with the menacing Tailed Beast Ball, Hyuga Zechen's gaze sharpened, and a Flying Thunder God Kunai shot out from his other hand, nearly a third of its blade piercing into the air, spreading out runes and forming a small barrier.

The next moment, amidst the tremors of the void, the enormous Tailed Beast Ball shot out, as if it had crashed into a ball of cotton that was completely unaffected, and was gradually swallowed up by the void bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous Tailed Beast Ball, along with the Flying Thunder God Kunai, vanished.

Roar!

The Gedo Mazo, with its almost nonexistent mind, clearly couldn't understand why its trump card had suddenly disappeared, but the figure it instinctively loathed was still there, and continued to steal its chakra.

As the embodiment of the Divine Tree, the Gedo Mazo's ability to reclaim all the chakra in the entire ninja world is one of its few instincts. How could it possibly tolerate Hyuga Sawa's near-outright robbery?

The Gedo Mazo condensed three more Tailed Beast Balls and attacked Hyuga Zetsu one after another, each one larger than the last, but Hyuga Zetsu successfully deflected them all in the same way.

Even if the Gedo Mazo was incredibly stupid, it was perfectly clear that this method was completely ineffective against Hyuga Sawatatsu.

The next moment, the massive body of the Gedo Mazo rushed towards Hyuga Sawatatsu, clearly intending to engage in close combat.

Just as Hyuga Zechen was on high alert, a cloud of white mist rose up, causing the charging Gedo Mazo to disappear from Hyuga Zechen's sight.

It seems that Black Zetsu has completely taken control of Nagato and used the power of the Rinnegan to dispel the summoning jutsu.

Fortunately, with the Tenseigan activated at full power, a massive amount of chakra was extracted. It's just unknown whether the Six-Tails' chakra can be separated out...

Just then, the four Kage, who had been watching the battlefield from afar, along with Jiraiya and a group of Jonin, rushed over.

"Kid, you successfully sealed that monster?"

Lei Ying, who was leading the way, spoke with a booming voice as he looked Hinata Zechen up and down.

Although the distance was far and he was not familiar with the Tenseigan's eye techniques, Raikage A did not realize that Hyuga Zetsu was trying to absorb the Gedo Mazo's chakra. He only saw a beam of light shining from Hyuga Zetsu's palm onto the Gedo Mazo.

"If even several adults couldn't defeat the Gedo Mazo by working together, how could I possibly handle it on my own? With the Raikage's knowledge, surely he can recognize that the caster summoned the Gedo Mazo?"

Rei-Kage clenched his fists after being subtly mocked by Hyuga Zetsu. When he saw the light in Hyuga Zetsu's eyes fade, revealing a pair of white eyes, he immediately understood why the other party's words had been so harsh.

When the Hidden Cloud Village failed to seize the Byakugan and even turned around and blamed others, it's no wonder the Hyuga clan members wouldn't give him a friendly look.

"Payne suddenly collapsed just now, does that mean your plan succeeded?"

Looking around but not seeing Nagato, Jiraiya's hope gradually faded.

As early as after Hyuga Zechen captured Konan, he sent a message through the Ninja Hawk, saying that he had found clues about Nagato's true form and requested Tsunade to capture the leader of the thief.

Tsunade originally thought that with the power of the four major ninja villages gathered, it would be easy to wipe out the Akatsuki organization. She didn't think much of Xiang Zechen, so she agreed to the plan without hesitation.

Otherwise, Hinata Zechen wouldn't have openly slacked off, sitting in his space watching the live broadcast, waiting until the crucial moment to make his move.

When Pain fell to the ground without warning, Jiraiya speculated that it was possible that Hyuga Sawatatsu's attack on Nagato's main body had made progress.

"It was Itachi Uchiha. He didn't hesitate to expose his undercover identity and attacked Nagato's main body first. Even without my intervention, he could have stopped Nagato."

Glancing at the three Kage beside him, Hyuga Zechen's lips moved slightly, transmitting his voice directly to Jiraiya's ears.

"Most importantly, besides Itachi, there was another Akatsuki member, Zetsu, who also betrayed Nagato. He seized control of the Rinnegan through spiritual possession and then fled, his whereabouts unknown."

Uchiha Itachi?

A complex look flashed across Jiraiya's eyes.

It concerns the darkness of the Konoha Village's upper echelons back then. Even Jiraiya wanted to know Nagato's whereabouts, but under the current circumstances, it was clearly not appropriate to ask him in public.

"Lord Hokage, Kakashi hasn't shown up yet. Is there anything we can do?"

Beside him, Might Guy, Kakashi's close friend, spoke with a look of worry on his face.

"Kakashi always carries my kunai with him, so he can go and check on the situation."

Before Tsunade could speak, Hyuga Sawatatsu closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, quickly discovering that a Flying Thunder God mark had been brought into another dimension.

Hinata Sawa was very interested in the Kamui Space, so he volunteered immediately.

Hinata Zechen was very curious about the difference between the space opened up by the Kaleidoscope eye technique and the space he gradually built with his Byakugan.

"No, you can't leave until you find out the whereabouts of the Akatsuki leader!"

The three Kage, including the Raikage, naturally saw Hyuga Zetsu's secret actions just now. Since it concerned the whereabouts of the seven tailed beasts, they were eager to know Nagato's location.

As the Raikage's enormous hand reached out to grab him, Hyuga Zechen's lips curled into a slight smile, and he vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Raikage A grabbed the empty space and immediately recognized the ninjutsu used by Hyuga Sawatatsu.

When the A and B duo teamed up, they only managed a draw against the Yellow Flash, making Raikage A extremely wary of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique.

If Minato Namikaze hadn't died from the Nine-Tails' attack, Raikage A would never have dared to plot to seize the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan.

Unexpectedly, after more than a decade, I saw this space-time ninjutsu again.

Konoha has so many geniuses.

-----------------

In the Kamui dimension, Kakashi, wielding a kunai, is locked in fierce combat with Obito Uchiha, whose chest has a large hole in it.

Sparks flew as the ninja tools clashed, and every movement was just like the duel the two had back in Konoha.

Those muscle memories, already deeply ingrained, clashed once again.

The two were so focused on their battle that they didn't even notice the extra figure that had appeared in the Divine Might Space.

Is this the Divine Might Space?

Hinata Zechen glanced at Kakashi and Obito, who were clashing fiercely, but did not intervene immediately. Instead, he secretly left a Flying Thunder God mark on the ground beneath his feet before beginning to survey his surroundings.

The entire Divine Might Space was not large, about the size of a football field. Apart from a light of unknown origin in the center, the surrounding area was completely dark.

It appears to be a space that is automatically generated when the kaleidoscope is activated, and it is difficult to expand further unless one advances to the Eternal Kaleidoscope.
