For others, as long as you control Pain and remove the black rods from Pain, you can make Nagato lose control over Pain.
"It seems you've understood it now. Losing your legs and only relying on these few corpses, once you lose control, you have no power left... I was too serious, expecting something from a brat, even though those eyes were given by me!"
Uchiha Madara's tone was filled with disappointment. This battle aroused no desire within him to fight.
"Let's end this quickly."
Crack! Crack!
A vast amount of Chakra erupted from Uchiha Madara's body, swiftly forming into skeletons and muscles, quickly coalescing into a fifty to sixty-meter Susanoo in front of Nagato.
However, this Susanoo was only double-faced and four-armed without any armor, considered Susanoo at tier three.
To deal with Nagato's fake Rinnegan, it's more than enough.
In the Ninja World, only a few people wouldn't feel afraid when facing Susanoo, and Nagato wasn't one of them.
Swish! Swish!
Susanoo gathered chakra long blades over dozens of meters, swinging them violently toward Nagato.
Nagato, seeing this, controlled the Deva Path Pain to leap forward: "Almighty Push!"
Boom!
Repulsive force collided with the chakra long blade, causing an immediate and terrifying impact; the chakra long blade seemed to strike a transparent sphere.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Nagato's Deva Path Pain faced the same fate, falling back and rolling away; the powerful impact even blasted away Nagato's other Pain clones along with Konan.
Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to anchor to the ground ahead of time, only staggering back a step but then continued forward intending to resolve Nagato.
"Nagato, are you alright?"
Konan climbed up and quickly approached Nagato's body; however, Nagato pushed Konan away, seriously telling her, "Konan, find an opportunity to escape on your own, this enemy is more terrifying than before, he might really be Uchiha Madara...."
He finished speaking, leaving no time for other instructions, and went back to gathering Chakra, readying to use the Deva Path's final Jutsu.
"Trying to gather Chakra for one last move, just forget it!"
Seeing Nagato attempting to gather Chakra on the Deva Path Pain, Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to slash down.
Rumble!
The strike carved out a ravine hundreds of meters long and twenty to thirty meters deep; Nagato couldn't even use Almighty Push to counter in time.
The terrifying shock wave blasted Nagato's body and Konan, powerless to withstand this destructive force capable of annihilating everything.
Even though the destructive power of a tier three Susanoo is less than a Tailed Beast Ball, it cannot be defended against at close quarters by Nagato; had it been a fully complete Susanoo, one strike could've resulted in Nagato's demise and collateral damages.
It should end now!
Uchiha Madara thought to himself and controlled Susanoo to approach Nagato, directly grasping him with Susanoo's arms, then turned to Black Zetsu.
"Release Nagato!"
Konan furiously used Shikigami Jutsu forming paper wings behind her while conjuring numerous paper shurikens and explosive tags, sending them toward Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.
However, the tier three Susanoo was double-faced and four-armed, needing no turning, swiftly deflecting with a punch.
Boom!
Konan dodged the first strike but was severely hit by the second, flying back and creating a pit in the ground, ceasing movement.
Uchiha Madara only glanced back once, then diverted all attention from Konan and directly approached Black Zetsu, placing Nagato down.
"He's fainted; it's better you do it, Black Zetsu."
Uchiha Madara stated, Nagato's heart carried a Talisman, yet being unconscious means it won't activate soon, allowing Black Zetsu's control to be more suitable.
"Understood, Lord Madara."
Black Zetsu proceeded, slowly enveloping Nagato like mercury, then started forming Seals to control him.
"Reincarnation Jutsu!"
Upon completing the final Seal, a King Yama icon formed on the ground, with massive life force energy pouring from King Yama's mouth into Uchiha Madara's body.
Hiss!
A tremendous presence and impact instantly surged from Uchiha Madara, the Chakra force generated during resurrection nearly overwhelming Uchiha Fugaku.
'Terrifying Chakra Amount...'
"Hahaha..."
Uchiha Madara's laughter resonated with the energy waves of resurrection, sliced his arm creating a wound, watching fresh blood pour out.
"Lord Madara, your Rinnegan."
After reviving Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu returned to White Zetsu, simultaneously retrieving Nagato's eyes and presenting them to Uchiha Madara.
Upon implanting the eyes, Uchiha Madara regained immense power, feeling invincible.
'Next is collecting Tailed Beasts, becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, and then locating Hashirama for Immortal Technique's power....'
Uchiha Madara pondered internally upon sensing the tremendous strength within, now stronger than during his lifetime, making even a resurrected Hashirama unable to stop him.
Black Zetsu asked, "Lord Madara, what shall we do next? Konoha might know of your resurrection, possessing both Nine-tailed and Two-tailed Jinchuriki, they might have reanimated the First Generation Hokage to deal with you...."
"Heh, if Hashirama could truly revive, it would be amusing; an underpowered Reanimation state bores me..."
Uchiha Madara chuckled and said, "Finally, let's head to Konoha to collect the Tailed Beasts; when they gather their strength, they will truly know despair!"
Reviving the Ten-tails only requires collecting the Nine-tails subsequently; regarding other Tailed Beasts, there's no specific sequence.
"The Three-tailed has already been captured; the Reanimated body can later capture the One-tailed at Hidden Sand Village; next would be the Six-tailed, Seven-tailed, and Eight-tailed; the Four-tailed and Five-tailed will revive in two to three years, Lord Madara...."
Hearing Black Zetsu's remark, Uchiha Madara felt slightly displeased at the two-year wait.
"Let's act now, Black Zetsu; cooperate with Fugaku and the Reanimated body to capture additional Jinchuriki."
Uchiha Madara didn't plan to personally intervene, though he would if complications arise.
Before they were about to leave, Black Zetsu suddenly noticed Nagato still breathing, saying, "Lord Madara, this guy is still alive."
"He's the chosen Uzumaki Clan Member; not possessing strong Life Force wouldn't maximize Rinnegan's power..."
Gradually adjusting allowed wielding two Rinnegan, while Obito at peak could only accommodate one; two would have engulfed him in Rinnegan's power.
After referencing, Uchiha Madara left without turning back, deeming Nagato's value void and destined to gradually exhaust life's flame like a weed.
When Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Fugaku departed, Black Zetsu sarcastically remarked at Nagato before sinking underground, "Barely useful puppet, nearing curtain call."
After Black Zetsu's exit, Konan slowly regained consciousness.
"Nagato..."
She immediately searched for Nagato upon regaining awareness.

Near nightfall at Konoha, within a bedroom at the Uzumaki Family, a barrier enveloped, isolating sound and sight.
Uchiha Yoichi, slightly panting, asked, "Lady Kushina, you must have heard of Jiraiya returning from his mission...."
