Chapter 225 - 225 (1/2)
Yahiko's death hit Nagato deeply, and he kneeled in place in disbelief.
Hanzo could immediately notice the bloodl_u_s_t that overtook him, and told his Ninjas to attack him at once.
Just as Ryo was about to move in, Nagato made his first move, repulsing all beings around him, sending them flying away.
Ryo frowned muttering: ”It's been awakened; his full Rinnegan power is awakened!”
In the pit thousands of miles away, Madara laughed until he coughed. Being the owner of said Rinnegan, he could feel it getting better integrated with Nagato's body.
”Madara sama! Are you okay?” Zetsu asked carefully.
Madara was in a very bad state. His life was like a candle's flame in the wind, about to be extinguished…
”Cough, I'm fine! But it's time for me to leave!”
”Madara sama…. So the Rinnegan…”
”Yes! Nagato is almost using my Rinnegan as efficiently as me. As for Obito, I have sealed some of his memories with whatever power I had left. It's time for me to go… I leave the rest up to you!”
White Zetsu knew what Madara meant, and he had a spore clone of his in the Akatsuki's headquarter notify Black Zetsu, telling him to hurry.
Upon receiving the signal, Black Zetsu sneaked into the ground, and rushed towards Madara.
He was still on the way when Madara asked White Zetsu: ”Zetsu, help me summon one of your clones!”
White Zetsu nodded, and controlled one of his clones to stand before Madara who injected it with Yin and Yang Chakra with the last bit of power that he had.
When he was through with feeding it Chakra, he tried to imbue his will within it, and just then, Zetsu black emerged from the clone's body after entering it from underneath the ground.
”Your color has changed! I shall call you… Black Zetsu! White Zetsu, he holds my will. Until I'm back, he'll act on my behalf helping you.”
As he finished his words, the link between Madara and the Gedo Mazo status was severed, and he closed his eyes.
”White, I'll hand over things here to you! I want to return to the rain country to persuade Nagato and get him on our side!”
White immediately agreed, and Black Zetsu sneaked into the ground after taking a glimpse of the sleeping Obito.
At the same time, Nagato had the Rinnegan's power, and almost completely forced Hanzo's forces away.
But he wasn't just leaving simply; Hanzo wasn't letting that happen! He had already buried many explosive tags under Konan, so when Nagato approached to lift her, he detonated them!
Ryo put an Ice Scalpel in place, and then flickered in with the Mangekyo fortified Ice Lightning Chakra mode. It was as if he truly teleported when he appeared before Nagato and Konan.
Their clothes were wet by the Rain, and Ryo just froze them both, teleporting with them back to him scalpel.
The two only felt they were cold, and then found themselves away from the ”battlefield”.
”This… what is going on?” Konan looked around in panic, and Nagato also couldn't figure out what was going on!”
