Chapter 510: The Resurrection of Madara Uchiha
Zetsu controlled the numerous spores, skillfully inserting them into Nagato's chakra pathways. The already stiff body extended a right hand once more.
"Almighty Push!" A repulsive force formed a barrier, deflecting all of Konan's paper and Yahiko's wind-style ninjutsu.
Zetsu's voice echoed in Nagato's ear like a demon's whisper. "That Konoha kunoichi, although she looks very annoying, some of her deductions were correct. Have you never thought about why the Rinnegan appeared on you? Do you really think you represent the will of heaven? Hehehehe."
At this moment, the Rinnegan became the master of the body. Nagato's own consciousness was forcibly pushed aside. His hands, seemingly slow but actually fast, formed hand seals again.
The King of Hell was unwillingly dragged out once more. His mouth opened wide, and a soul, carrying a large amount of life force, was propelled by a second Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and flew into the distance.
The barrier of Almighty Push soon disappeared. Even Zetsu could not squeeze another drop of chakra from Nagato's body now. Seeing the furious Konan controlling a rain of paper to attack him, Zetsu let out a sinister laugh and reached out to gouge out Nagato's Rinnegan. But the next second, he saw a glittering golden "Seal" character appear in the middle of Nagato's forehead.
With a loud snap, his left hand, which had been trying to dig out the eyes, was directly repelled.
"A sealing jutsu?" Zetsu had lived for so many years and was also very knowledgeable about sealing jutsu, but time was tight now; he had no time to slowly break the seal.
"Of course. With such a good thing lying here, even though I don't think it's very useful, I can't stop others from coveting it." Ino had teleported back the moment the sealing formula was triggered. Wisps of ice-style chakra emerged from her five fingers. She reached out to grab Zetsu. As long as she touched his body, she could freeze him solid.
Zetsu saw the power of the Ice Release. Like mud, he separated from Nagato's body and then sank into the earth.
"I haven't seen a ninja as skilled as you in many years. Alright, you win this round." Zetsu's voice echoed in the area, but he was already gone.
He had burrowed straight into the ground, deep down. Ino had many tricks, but she couldn't catch him.
"He runs really fast," she muttered, then turned and greeted Yahiko and Konan. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back. See you later."
"Wait!" Konan, seeing that she was about to leave, quickly called out to her.
"What? Is there something else?"
"Before, Zetsu controlled Nagato and used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique again. I think your Konoha village needs to know this information."
Ino really hadn't expected this turn of events. "He used the Samsara of Heavenly Life again? Who did he resurrect?"
Konan shook her head. "I don't know."
It's most likely Madara Uchiha, right? Ino thought. The currently resurrected Madara had no Rinnegan. In fact, because his body had been resurrected, he had no eyes at all. In terms of strength, he was actually weaker than his Impure World Reincarnation form.
As long as Madara came to take the Rinnegan, he would definitely trigger the seal she had secretly placed on Nagato's body.
She would deal with Madara then.
"Alright, I understand. I estimate that guy will come to take the eyes. You two be careful." Ino teleported away again.
"Is she our enemy or our friend?" Yahiko asked pointedly.
Konan thought for a moment. "Not an enemy, but definitely not a friend. She's using us as bait to attract Madara."
"I understand." The relationship between Yahiko and Konan was a bit strange now.
Yahiko had died at the age of 15, the same age as Ino and Naruto now, while Konan was already 35. Before, their relationship might have been like brother and sister. Now, when they stood together, they looked like mother and son.
The "mother" was strong but not very wise. The "son" was weak but quite smart. Yahiko was worried that Zetsu would come back to kill them. He immediately packed up Nagato's remains, and the two of them hurriedly left the Land of Fire.
Far away, on a deserted island a thousand li from the Land of Fire.
Madara Uchiha pushed open the coffin and slowly walked out.
His eye sockets were empty. He immediately closed his eyes and did a few stretches.
Not long after, Zetsu found him.
"Congratulations, Lord Madara. You have finally been resurrected."
Madara turned and "looked" in his direction. "My eyes are still with Nagato?"
Zetsu nodded. "Yes. The Yamanaka clan's kunoichi placed a sealing formula in advance. I didn't have time to take the eyes."
Madara was not in a hurry. "Did she not have any desire for my eyes?"
Zetsu thought carefully. "She didn't seem to value the Rinnegan very much. She seemed... seemed very disdainful?"
The Uchiha clan's hot temper made Madara let out a heavy "hmph." "An ignorant woman who knows nothing. She probably doesn't even know the secrets of the Rinnegan."
Zetsu seemed to enjoy contradicting Madara and Obito. "Not necessarily. I saw the move she used to break Nagato's Planetary Devastation. Her understanding of Yin and Yang Release is far above the highest level of the current ninja world. She will likely be a great enemy on your path to the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Madara also knew how to use Planetary Devastation. He listened to Zetsu's detailed account of how Ino had broken it and was momentarily hesitant. She doesn't seem to be someone who doesn't understand the value of the Rinnegan. To still leave the Rinnegan on Nagato's body, is this attitude purely disdain? Or is she setting a trap?
Madara felt very uncomfortable. "Forget it. Let Obito worry about it. He's been coveting my eyes for a long time."
Zetsu let out a sinister laugh. "Yes. The ocular power in the Rinnegan is depleted anyway. We can let Obito help you replenish it."
Madara laughed arrogantly.
Zetsu took out two palm-sized containers, each containing a crimson Sharingan. "My lord, these are Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan. You can use them for now."
"Good."
Konoha Village.
Konan's "escape" alerted the Interrogation, Analysis, and Sensory Divisions.
The old advisor, Homura Mitokado, immediately wanted to dispatch ninja to pursue her but was stopped very curtly by Jiraiya. I gave the order. Let her go. Whatever the consequences, I will bear them!
Homura asked sternly, "Fifth Hokage, are you sure this is your true intention?"
"I am responsible for releasing Konan. I will take responsibility." Jiraiya left a sentence and turned to leave the Hokage building.
Years ago, the Third Hokage had been criticized for releasing Orochimaru, and his reputation had taken a big hit. Now, Jiraiya was doing the same thing.
I let her go, so what? Are you going to hit me?
Homura was very dissatisfied but said nothing. This kind of order, like a pardon, was indeed within the Hokage's rights. It was equivalent to the Hokage using his own reputation as a guarantee. As a village advisor, he had no right to interfere.
