Chapter 179 - Chapter 179 Madara: Just Kill Me Already, Hurry Up

Although the main storyline of Naruto is essentially a story within a story.

Nagato was used by Obito, Obito was used by Madara, and Madara was used by Black Zetsu and his mother.

There might even be alien species from other planets behind Kaguya.

But whether it was Madara or Obito, they at least had a few peaceful years.

Nagato was the truly miserable one.

He was basically set up by old Madara from the moment he was born.

It made even someone as ruthless as Jin feel a bit sorry for him.

Although he didn't know if the Senzu Bean could cure the life energy he lost from forcibly summoning the Gedo Statue, Jin was still willing to give him a pass.

"Enough of this nonsensical joking. This is God's final warning."

Deva Path narrowed his eyes, Chakra surging throughout his body as he spoke coldly.

"..."

At this moment, not just Jin, but even the old-timers in the chat group were momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.

[Hashirama: @Madara, Madara, giving your eyes to this kid... that's... that's pretty bold of you, worthy of praise.]

[Izuna: Actually, you can't really say that. After all, he hasn't seen much of the world.]

[Ace: By the way, are all the abilities in your world focused on the eyes? First the Byakugan, then the Sharingan and whatnot, it's giving me a headache.]

[Vegeta: Damn it! Damn it! Why can these two low-class warriors both become Super Saiyans?]

...

"...A pitiful person who lived a life of pain, only to end up as a sacrifice in the end. Perhaps for you, death is a kindness."

Jin said no more.

The gap in their worldviews was too large, so communication was difficult.

It was like that idiot Oden's thought process. Even as a transmigrator, if Jin had been transported to the same timeline as him, he wouldn't have been able to predict what that guy would do next.

While Nagato wasn't that extreme, he wasn't much better.

Anyway, he didn't have Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu, so he couldn't persuade him.

'Death was probably the best release for him.'

'Or, following the example of Guy in the future who ended up in a wheelchair, gouge out those Rinnegan and let Jiraiya keep him company for the rest of his life.'

"I told you not to be so arrogant!"

Deva Path suddenly raised his hand.

The unique Ocular Power of the Rinnegan was released through the palm of his right hand.

The house behind Jin and Goku, along with the foundation beneath the ground, was torn up and began moving towards Deva Path's right hand.

But even so, the two individuals remained completely motionless.

"What's he doing?"

Goku asked with a natural airhead expression.

With such weak attractive force, Goku thought the other was playing a game of tug-of-war with him.

As the saying goes, the difference in experience was too vast.

"Sigh... whatever. Although I don't think Obito can cause much trouble, it's still annoying having so many people causing a ruckus on my turf."

As Jin spoke, under the incredulous gazes of the Six Paths of Pain, he turned and walked back to the corridor, picked up a Den Den Mushi, and dialed a number.

"Hey~ Jiraiya, stop peeping at the women's bathhouse all day. Come back. I've got something good for you."

Under the gravitational pull of Bansho Ten'in, Jin's movements weren't affected in the slightest.

If it weren't for the fact that the villa's foundation was being torn up and flying towards him, Deva Path might have suspected he never even activated the technique in the first place.

The next instant, within their shared vision, the six Pains, as well as Nagato, the main body hiding outside the village, had their expressions change drastically.

Because one second they saw Jin standing on the villa corridor over ten meters away, and the next second he appeared less than half a meter in front of the Deva Path.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

Thud!

Deva Path didn't even see whether Jin punched or kicked him.

He just felt a violent impact in his abdomen.

Then, the next moment, he was sent flying backwards.

The other five Pains suddenly reacted.

Asura Path's spine split open on its back.

A large rocket squeezed out from within.

Meanwhile, panels on both sides of its chest opened like engine covers, revealing two small rocket launchers ready to fire.

'Good grief, are you a MetalGreymon?'

However, before the other Pains could even attack, they found Jin had disappeared again.

Thud!

Another heavy impact sound.

Thump!

Deva Path, who had just been sent flying, flew back again.

He crashed heavily onto the ground in front of Goku.

The five remaining Pains turned their heads in unison.

They found Jin had somehow ended up behind them again!

"Hey hey~ Are you okay?"

Goku kindly reached out to Deva Path, who was lying face-down on the ground after falling flat on his face, wanting to help him up.

From start to finish, he never considered the Six Paths of Pain as enemies.

Faced with these six weirdos with rods stuck in their faces, Goku's attitude was like that of a tiger in its prime facing six newly hatched chicks chirping about wanting to kill him.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The increasingly out-of-character Deva Path pushed himself up with one hand on the ground. The next instant, gritting his teeth, he spread both hands outward.

Massive Chakra erupted, and an invisible air pressure burst outwards in a ring shape.

The ground under Deva Path's feet sank nearly half a meter due to the repulsive shockwave.

Goku's spiky hair was blown backwards.

But he himself remained motionless.

Under Deva Path's incredulous gaze, Goku blinked twice, then lightly raised his hand.

He placed his middle finger against his thumb.

And then...

Bop!

A flick on the forehead.

But the Deva Path felt as if a planet had crashed into him and he flew out again.

"Ah? Sorry, sorry! I think I used a bit too much force accidentally!"

Goku himself was startled by this, quickly clasping his hands together in an apologetic gesture.

The remaining five Pains and Nagato, hiding in the outskirts of Konoha Village, were dumbfounded.

Although Rinnegan had made his personality extremely arrogant, he wasn't an idiot.

Having fought to this extent, how could he not see the gap in their strength?

It's not like everyone was a fool like Mr. Satan.

"H-how is this possible..."

Nagato, hidden underground, gaped stupidly.

He neither ordered the remaining five Pains to pursue, nor sent Naraka Path to rescue Deva Path.

At this moment, his entire outlook on life and worldview had collapsed.

It was similar to how Madara felt when he first joined the group and saw Frieza's feats from the Dragon Ball World.

The endpoint of your lifelong struggle isn't even the starting point for others.

It's like working 996, 007 every day, only to be worse off than a not-so-beautiful woman making it big just by selling feet pics.

The blow couldn't be described in words.

And just as Nagato was questioning his life, Jin grabbed Deva Path, whose brains were nearly flicked out by Goku, by the ankle, dragging him over.

"Take me to your main body. Give me the Rinnegan. At the very least, I can let you live out the rest of your life peacefully as an ordinary person."

Although Jin himself didn't care about the Rinnegan at all, he thought it might be better to just gouge out those eyes once and for all.

As for how to deal with them…

Either destroy them or give them to some girl to play with... he'd decide later.

"Hey! Jin, what's going on? Why is Konoha in such chaos…"

At that moment, a white-haired man vaulted over the wall.

Who else could it be but Jiraiya?

But Jiraiya's words got stuck in his throat halfway through.

Although nearly twenty years had passed since he last saw them, he recognized them at a glance.

The person Jin was holding was one of the two disciples he had taken in back in Amegakure: Yahiko.

"Wh-what's going on? Th-this uniform is... Akatsuki? Did Yahiko join them? Wh-where's Nagato? Where did Nagato go?"

Jiraiya was completely confused.

But seeing the cloak on the fallen Deva Path, he vaguely guessed some of the reasons.

"You came just in time. Then you go get the eyes."

Jin let go of Deva Path and threw him to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to ask more.

But at that moment, the remaining five Pains suddenly had their expressions change drastically.

Their eyes bulged, wide open.

"Wh-what's wrong with them?"

Jiraiya was startled.

At the same time, he noticed that these five also had Rinnegan in their eye sockets!

Equally unaware of the situation, Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although he didn't know what happened, their expressions really resembled the moment when Six Paths Madara was sneak-attacked by Black Zetsu in the original work.

Anyway, it's really hard to understand why a Six Paths-level powerhouse's skin was so fragile, making him so easily stabbed.

If this were the One Piece World, forget about Big Mom with her [Steel Balloon] Physique, even the skin of the Deserter King Koby probably wouldn't be that thin.

Two seconds later.

The five Pains fell face-first to the ground simultaneously, like puppets whose strings had been cut.

"Wh-what happened to them?"

Goku was also confused by this scene.

"Most likely something happened to the main body, right?"

Jin's expression remained unreadable.

Jiraiya frowned, vaguely sensing something.

"Main body?"

Jin pulled out a black rod from Animal Path's face and handed it to Goku, "You should be able to sense it, right?"

Goku nodded, took the black rod, closed his eyes to sense for a few seconds, then suddenly opened them.

"Found him."

In the original work, Sage Mode Naruto used his enhanced sensory abilities from mastering Senjutsu Chakra to locate Nagato's main body.

Goku was even better.

He could even predict about eighty to ninety percent of a target's thoughts by touching their body.

"Then I'll trouble you to make a trip, Senior Brother. Although I think it's probably unnecessary now…"

Jin waved his hand.

...

Meanwhile, inside a tree hollow of a man-made giant tree on the outskirts of Konoha.

"Z-Zetsu, y-you…"

Looking down at the black arm piercing through his chest, Nagato turned his head with difficulty, his face pained, just in time to meet Black Zetsu's smug face.

This moment was exactly like that moment.

The scene of Madara getting his heart ripped out in the original work had actually happened ahead of time on Nagato.

"Unfortunately, Nagato, you have no more use."

Black Zetsu sneered:

"I just didn't expect you to waste the Rinnegan to such an extent. Now, hand them over quickly."

As Black Zetsu spoke, he made his body liquid-like and attached it to Nagato's surface.

Now, not only did Nagato experience Madara's fate ahead of time, but he also got a taste of Obito's experience.

Just after having his heart ripped out and nearing death, Nagato, now possessed by Black Zetsu, could no longer control his body.

He could only watch helplessly as Black Zetsu controlled his body, raising his hands with the index and middle fingers of each hand extended and stacked vertically.

This hand seal is-

Boom!

At that moment, the tree bark was shattered.

Two figures rushed in from outside.

"Nagato!"

Jiraiya, who was at the front, cried out.

"Sen… sei…"

Nagato, with half of his face already covered by Black Zetsu, spoke with difficulty.

"Too late."

Black Zetsu sneered, controlling Nagato's body to suddenly shout:

"Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!!!"

...

[Group member, Uchiha Madara, is about to be removed from this group. Countdown 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds…]

Hearing the system's long-absent prompt, Jin, who is far away in Konoha, had already guessed what was happening.

'Sigh, Nagato, for you, this is also a form of release, right?'

...

And in the tree hollow, Black Zetsu, having succeeded in his plan, shouted excitedly:

"Revive! Uchiha... Madara!"

The pre-prepared coffin boards rose abruptly from the ground and opened.

Madara, who is originally made of earth, emitted a white light from his body.

His skin rapidly recovered to its living state, becoming ruddy.

"Madara-sama, your eyes!"

Under Jiraiya's shocked and Goku's bewildered gazes, Black Zetsu immediately gouged out the eyeballs from Nagato's sockets.

He threw them to Madara, who was gradually regaining consciousness.

After reinserting the eyeballs, the first thing the now-sighted Madara saw was Goku, pinching his chin and looking at him with the expression of someone observing an animal in a zoo.

Having witnessed the battles between Jin and Goku multiple times in the chat group, Madara felt utterly numb.

He had a battle junkie attribute, but that didn't mean he was a masochist.

'Right after reviving me, you throw me into a hell-difficulty dungeon?'

'Just kill me already, hurry up. I'm tired.'
