Chapter 339: Retreat
"Is that so? Nagato lost..."
The people of Uchiha's clan hurriedly looked over, their expressions incomparably complicated.
The entire village began to boil with excitement, even to the extent that tears welled up in their eyes.
The pressure that Nagato brought them was incomparably great.
Fortunately, Lord Yuuji was in the village!
Yuuji held Nagato's head and ignored these people. Instead, he immediately returned to Root's base.
He had no emotions about what had happened in the village.
Not to mention the thoughts of Uchiha's clan.
"That's great! As expected of Lord Yuuji..."
Itachi also stood in the crowd and heaved a huge sigh of relief in his heart.
If Yuuji could not return, it would simply be a disaster.
"Lord, Lord Clan Leader, Nagato was clearly so powerful, but he was still killed? Lord Yuuji doesn't seem to have any injuries..."
"Bastard, what are you trying to say? Are you only happy to see your companion return with serious injuries?"
Fugaku suddenly turned his head, and his expressionless face was now filled with a gloomy expression.
"Ah, I'm really sorry..."
Fugaku stared at the other party for a long time before he snorted coldly.
It was normal to have complicated thoughts. If it was a normal person, they would feel some waves in their hearts when facing the battle between Nagato and Yuuji.
After all, one of them represented the upper limit of their bloodline and strength, while the other represented the village and their companions.
However, the complicated thoughts in their hearts and the results displayed were also extremely complicated. This was a problem.
"Some people still treat Nagato as a member of our clan at this time. Heh!" Setsuna said in a strange tone.
"Elder Setsuna..."
"Shut your mouths and get to the bottom of the situation! That guy, Nagato, invaded our clan many years ago and killed many of our clansmen. This is already the second time, and he even started from our clan! Do you still treat such trash as your own people?" Setsuna sneered.
If the intruder was Hitomi, Setsuna would definitely hesitate for a moment and then stand on Hitomi's side.
But the intruder was Nagato? Ah, then it was fine. It was not a bad thing for Nagato to be killed.
"Don't forget that Nagato was only defeated by Hitomi! Hitomi's strength is the only limit I have ever seen in my life!" Setsuna snorted coldly.
This time, the eyes of many Uchiha clansmen lit up, and they immediately let go of the knot in their hearts.
That's right, the Nagato who lost was essentially a loser, a guy that the leader of the Eye Organization had crippled!
The Eye Organization's Hitomi also had Rinnegan!
Fugaku said, "Don't say anymore, immediately organize people to pursue the whereabouts of the enemy's companions. Konan and Hiruko are nowhere to be found, and Orochimaru and the others are also to be investigated!"
Fugaku did not personally lead the team.
In this case, he, the chief, had to stay in the village and negotiate with Yondaime.
The Hokage building.
The few of them gathered together and discussed for a long time but could not come up with a conclusion.
"So, even Uchiha's clan does not know the purpose of Nagato's invasion of the village?" Minato felt a headache.
Fugaku, Kazue, Setsuna, and Itachi stood in front of Minato and nodded.
Fugaku said, "The first time I found Nagato, it was in the south of the shrine. That guy sneaked into Uchiha and seemed to be searching for something."
Itachi tried to get rid of suspicion and said, "Perhaps it is also to inquire about Mangekyou Sharingan's secret. After all, Nagato has never revealed Mangekyou Sharingan in the past. This is probably the ability he recently obtained."
"I see. That's why he wanted to get information about Mangekyou Sharingan from Uchiha's family. This is very reasonable."
Sandaime and Yondaime looked at each other.
Logically speaking, it made sense.
If Nagato had always had Mangekyou Sharingan, he would not have been nearly killed by Hitomi from the Eye Organization.
It had to be known that in that battle, Jiraiya and the others were watching the battle from the side, personally witnessing Nagato's miserable state.
Mangekyou Sharingan was definitely an eye that Nagato had only recently grasped.
"I can also prove this point. During the three years I taught Nagato, I was certain that Nagato had Rinnegan, and it had nothing to do with Sharingan." Jiraiya leaned against the wall with a solemn expression. "Moreover, when facing Nagato twice, the people who suffered the most casualties were the people of Uchiha's clan. Many of Uchiha's clansmen were the first to stand out and fight against Nagato and were killed. Nagato has never treated himself as a member of Uchiha's clan."
"Why do you only have one eye? Or do you only want to give me one?" Obito frowned.
"The other one was taken away by Black-Zetsu. If that guy didn't backstab Nagato, I would still need to spend more time to kill Nagato."
"Black-Zetsu...?"
Obito's face was full of question marks.
Why was it Black-Zetsu?
That guy was Madara's will, so with Madara's logic, should he abandon Nagato to protect Rinnegan?
Obito was stunned for a moment before he snorted coldly, "Humph, Nagato is also looking for death. If he did not forcibly control Black-Zetsu, his eyes would not have been removed. If he did not forcibly occupy White Zetsu's body, he would not have no chance to send me a message to ask for help."
Black-Zetsu and White Zetsu were controlled by Nagato at the same time. This was the biggest problem.
It increased Nagato's strength and also blocked his own path of retreat.
"Then, one eye is enough. Give it to me." Obito stretched out his hand.
Yuuji shook his head.
"At a time like this, why are you still so selfish? I originally thought that at the very least, we had the same goal in achieving peace." Obito took two steps back and said in a deep voice.
"You are mistaken. I will emphasize it again. It is not that I don't want to give it to you. It is useless even if I give it to you."
Yuuji got up, but he did not attack Obito. Instead, he turned around and walked to Nagato's head.
Then, he reached out his hand and placed it on Nagato's head.
"To be honest, Obito, your acting is a little bad and you act too urgently... Do you want to confirm something? Or do you want to take advantage of the time when Nagato is unconscious to study Rinnegan?"
In Yuuji's hand, flesh and blood immediately squirmed and rushed to Nagato's head.
Then, the flesh and blood moved faster and quickly created a new body for Nagato to support his head.
Nagato's consciousness was recovering.
"Damn it, so you found it!" Obito's face sank, and he immediately used Kamui to run away.
If Nagato found out that he was colluding with Yuuji, then it would be troublesome. Nagato would realize that there was a big problem with the identity of Madara and Xu.
The moment Obito disappeared, Nagato's eyelids trembled, and he forcefully opened them, revealing a hollow eye hole.
He subconsciously shook hands, feeling this strange body, and immediately looked at Yuuji with a powerful perception.
"Was there another person just now?" Nagato asked doubtfully.
"No, it wasn't. It was just your imagination. You probably calculated the body I created for you." Yuuji said lightly.
Nagato snorted coldly. He came down from the experimental platform and stood up straight.
"Wow, Uzumaki Clan's vitality is a bit too exaggerated. He didn't die even after this?" Kabuto immediately hid behind Iroha and exclaimed.
"Uzumaki Clan is a top figure. Even if he was stripped away, Bijuu would not die immediately. He can still use magic to fight. What's more, Nagato still has Rinnegan. Black-Zetsu and White Zetsu's vitality still remains on his body." Yuuji said lightly.
When Uzumaki Kushina was pulled out of the nine tails, she could use the Vajra Seal to firmly bind the nine tails, and even had the ability to drag the nine tails down with her.
In comparison, Naruto was a bit worse. After Madara took away the nine tails, he immediately fell unconscious.
However, considering that Naruto had experienced an intense battle, his body and spirit had already been hollowed out. After losing the nine tails, he was only unconscious. After obtaining the nine tails, he immediately revived with full blood. It was also because of Uzumaki Clan's powerful physique that he was able to support himself.
Not to mention Nagato, this guy's Rinnegan had the basic ability to play with the soul. He maintained his vitality and temporarily bound his soul in his body. It was very easy.
Moreover, considering that Nagato could carry two Rinnegan, and it was very difficult for Obito to transplant one in the original timeline. In addition, Nagato could resurrect more than half of Konoha's dead in one go with the Reincarnation Heavenly Art... These series of exaggerated performances proved that Nagato's vitality was extremely terrifying.
He could almost be said to be the second person below Rikudou Sennin level. Only Senju Hashirama could surpass Nagato.
"...."
Nagato sensed the three people in front of him and planned to make a move, but unfortunately, this body did not listen to him.
"... Sure enough, without Rinnegan, there is no way to suppress your cells. I do not understand the legendary Hashirama cells, but your cells are obviously not worse than his, or even more dangerous." Nagato said coldly.
The psychic beast used by Animal Path and the body of Heavenly Pain were made from Yuuji's cells.
Nagato also had some understanding of these chaotic cells. In the past, he had relied on Rinnegan's power to forcefully suppress them.
But now, he could not suppress them.
"What do you want to do by controlling me? Akatsuki's secret? Or do you want me to work for you?" Nagato said.
From beginning to end, he was extremely calm.
"Stop it. If I didn't guess wrong, you would have already made preparations in advance... to be resurrected."
Yuuji stood in front of Nagato and said, "Having mastered more Hitomi techniques, your path of retreat has already been prepared. Let me guess, is it Izanagi, the Path of Naraka, or the natural skill of reincarnation?"
