The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

not to mention.

Konan and Nagato could easily deal with these White Zetsu.

But the number of White Zetsu is endless.

The moment Black Zetsu realized that Konan and Nagato were about to escape, he arranged for a continuous stream of White Zetsu to intercept them.

do not forget.

The location where White Zetsu sleeps is also within the Land of Rain.

One was killed very quickly.

Even ten of them couldn't stop it.

What about those dozens, hundreds?

By using sheer numbers, they can at least hold off Konan and Nagato.

Even though they were indeed leaving Amegakure at top speed, the White Zetsu were still following them closely like shadows.

They never separated by any distance.

Occasionally, White Zetsu would escape from the front and intercept them.

This made Nagato's heart sink deeper and deeper.

If we can't get rid of these white zealots.

Even if they left the Land of Rain, it would be pointless, because the other party could catch up at any time. Although Nagato didn't care about the masked man's strength, his space-time ninjutsu was really threatening. Not to mention whether their weak bodies could defeat him, even if they could, as long as the other party could delay them for a while.

The real Madara Uchiha will catch up from behind.

Even with all six Paths of Pain present, they were no match for him, and were even toyed with and defeated. What means do I have left to fight against him?

Defeat is my only fate.

"Xiao Nan, you go first..."

Thinking about this.

Nagato turned to look at Konan, who was walking alongside him, and heard her speak, but hadn't yet uttered the rest of her words.

"Nagato, I won't walk alone. No matter what lies ahead, we'll face it together. That's something we agreed on before, isn't it? The three of us are one!"

Konan shook her head firmly, interrupting Nagato's next words.

"Xiao Nan..."

The same stubbornness.

The same persistence.

Looking at Xiao Nan's resolute expression.

Nagato knew very well that he could not persuade her, and a faint sadness appeared on his withered face.

Ultimately, I was unable to fulfill the promise I had made.

Whether it's for Konan or for Yahiko.

Memories of the past two or three decades, especially the times the three fought side by side together and the times he learned from Jiraiya, flashed rapidly through Nagato's mind.

The final image is set on the day the three of them first met.

"Ah, then let's fight side by side to the very end!"

Nagato took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and said with the same resolute expression.

That footstep that voluntarily stopped.

"Whoosh!"

"Peng!"

next second.

It is located in the northwest direction.

Madara Uchiha's imposing figure came into view.

Chapter 489 The Rebirth of the Ninja World's Asura

A completely unequal battle.

Even if Madara Uchiha hadn't used the Rinnegan, Nagato wouldn't have been a match for him. The Pain puppets, meticulously crafted and endowed with the Rinnegan's Six Paths abilities, couldn't withstand Madara's power, let alone Nagato, whose main body was so weak.

Konan's strength is also quite good.

At most, it can only reach the level of a quasi-shadow.

In the original story, it was Obito who looked down on Konan from the very beginning.

They were lured into a trap of 600 billion explosive tags. Otherwise, even if Obito was incompetent in a direct confrontation, he could still have managed to subdue Konan. The outcome of such a combination against Madara Uchiha was self-evident.

Just as Obito arrived from behind.

Ban had already easily dealt with the two of them.

Konan lay calmly in a pool of blood. In the very end, she did not utter a single word of surrender. Completely subdued by Madara Uchiha, even Nagato, who could not even commit suicide, could only look at the dead Konan with a sorrowful expression. This was the second time he had witnessed his dearest friend die in front of him.

They were both utterly powerless.

Both were equally heart-wrenching.

"Xiaonan...Xiaonan..."

Madara Uchiha glanced indifferently at Obito who had arrived, then turned to Black Zetsu and said, "Black Zetsu."

Black Zetsu immediately understood and stealthily moved over, directly possessing Nagato's body.

"asshole!!"

Nagato witnessed this scene.

How could anyone not understand Black Zetsu's intentions?

Nagato, who desperately tried to resist, was powerless against Madara Uchiha's suppression and Black Zetsu's forceful control.

"Snapped!"

He could only watch helplessly as Black Zetsu forcibly controlled himself to form the mark of the Samsara Life Technique.

Compare it to the surging chakra that followed.

There was also that eerie purple halo that appeared in the eyes of Samsara.

"The art of reincarnation and rebirth."

next second.

A dazzling light suddenly flashed out.

It directly covered Uchiha Madara's body on one side, and a burst of steam rose up, gradually dissipating the Edo dust.

The surging power of flesh and blood that I gradually felt.

Madara Uchiha's face slowly relaxed, and he became increasingly arrogant.

The vibrant flesh and the unparalleled texture spread throughout the entire body.

"Haha ...

Madara Uchiha immediately burst into a hearty laugh.

"That's the feeling I want, that raw, visceral sensation! Only with this can we truly fight!!!"

The Uchiha clan's signature maniacal laughter.

The arrogant look that belongs only to Uncle Ban.

With the resurrection of Madara Uchiha, Nagato, having exhausted his last bit of life force, reached the end of his life.

The vision gradually dimmed.

In the very last moment.

After giving Konan a deep look, Nagato's head lolled to the side and he was lifeless.

Unlike the death in the original work.

Nagato chose to die with regret, hope for the future, and trust in Naruto. In this life, Nagato was undoubtedly more tragic because he could not see the arrival of the peaceful future he hoped for, whether it was the peaceful dream of mutual understanding between people that he hoped to realize when he was young, or the dream of achieving peace through violent means later on.

Everything has vanished into thin air.

He also witnessed the death of his best friend twice.

This is a tragedy belonging to Nagato.

But it must be said.

Nagato's life was a tragedy.

From the moment Nagato was targeted by Madara Uchiha, his life trajectory seemed to be predetermined.

We still don't know if Madara Uchiha made any further arrangements on Nagato's body and around him at that time.

But from the moment Jiraiya, who lacked a true sense of responsibility, chose not to bring Nagato back to Konoha despite clearly seeing Nagato's Rinnegan, Nagato's future was already destined to be tragic.

The same applies to Yahiko and Konan.

Their life trajectories.

Just like a puppet on a string, it was planned and limited by Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and Obito long ago.

The tragedy of Nagato.

The three people present were not able to be moved in the slightest.

Madara Uchiha was completely immersed in the joy of regaining his fresh and young body. He slowly extended his right hand and easily pulled the Rinnegan out of Nagato's eye socket, without needing any transplant surgery.

He pressed it directly onto his eye socket.

"hiss!!"
