Chapter 555 Ten-Tails Jinchuriki - Nagato
"Playing tricks."
Isshiki's tone turned icy, and without any hesitation, his eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at Nagato.
No matter what it is, just kill it all.
Just as Isshiki activated "Shona Higana," a cold voice rang out in Nagato's mind, responding to his prayer.
"The price is—"
"Your eyes."
"Your life."
"Your soul."
"Everything about you."
The voice is calm and declarative, like reading out established laws, leaving no room for doubt or compromise.
But on Nagato's blood-stained face, a slow, crazed grin spread across his lips.
"Everything, huh?" he repeated softly.
If these Rinnegan, which bring both power and pain, originated from someone else—
If this fate of wandering, entangled in conspiracies, and reduced to a pawn has never looked at me fairly—
Then, I will also loudly praise the devil's favor.
If fate has never been kind to me, then I would gladly accept the devil's invitation.
I already have nothing left, so what I will lose is not much.
However, it was just me.
"Then let's negotiate," Nagato said to the voice in his mind.
The moment the contract was established, several black rods, shrunk by "Shona Bikuna," shot towards Nagato with all-piercing sharpness, just inches away.
but----
boom!!
A terrifying burst of chakra suddenly erupted from his battered body.
The black rod that shot towards him was blown away and shattered by the sudden burst of chakra.
"Hmm?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stared intently at Nagato, his gaze slightly darkening.
"Ah!" Nagato let out a low growl he couldn't suppress, covering his eyes and arching his body.
puff!
His ordinary right eye, which had been transplanted after he lost his Rinnegan, was forcibly squeezed and ripped out of its socket, rolling to the ground with bloodshot veins.
The next moment, only a terrifyingly empty eye socket remained, and the surrounding muscles, blood vessels, and even bones began to writhe.
A Rinnegan emitting an eerie purple glow grew and took shape in his eye socket at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Two Rinnegan, one on the left and one on the right, echoed each other, flowing endlessly.
It was no longer that subtle sense of rejection and incomplete control.
At this moment, Nagato possessed a pair of truly complete, seamless, and fully functional Rinnegan.
The Rinnegan that had been taken by the "Shadow" returned in such a bizarre way, and—
They became more compatible, more perfect, as if they were meant to be this way, as if they belonged to him.
"That is—"
Otsutsuki Isshiki frowned. In his perception, the chakra erupting from Nagato's body formed a connection with the towering divine tree in the distance.
It was as if an invisible bridge was being built between Nagato and the Divine Tree. The Divine Tree's vast chakra was being drawn and resonated with the power emanating from Nagato, and was even slowly flowing towards Nagato.
That knife actually connected this human to the divine tree?
Just as Isshiki was wondering, Nagato, holding the katana that seemed to have changed somewhat, took a step forward.
Step Two —
Step Three —
Behind Nagato, the enormous divine tree, starting from its roots, trunk, branches, and even leaves, began to twist and melt, turning into a fluid that surged towards Nagato.
As Nagato approached Isshiki Otsutsuki, the divine tree behind him was gradually absorbed, his greyish-white robe slowly draped over his body, and his wildly flowing red hair transformed into greyish-white.
boom!
Nagato stopped in his tracks, stretched out his hand, and a six-path staff appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he held firmly. The end of the staff gently tapped the ground, and nine Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him.
The perfectly aligned Rinnegan gleamed with a cold purple light, and the Ten-Tails' massive chakra flowed within him, yet it was restrained and controlled by some higher-level will.
At the cost of everything—his eyes, his life, and his soul—Nagato made a pact through the "Karma of Reincarnation," transcending the boundary between mortal and divine at that moment.
He became the new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, stepping into the realm of "Six Paths".
"Is this the power of the Six Paths?" Feeling the surging power within his body, Nagato slowly tightened his grip on his staff.
"Overestimating yourself." Otsutsuki Isshiki's cold voice interrupted his comprehension.
Before he could finish speaking, his figure suddenly blurred and vanished from the spot.
Whoosh!
Almost simultaneously, Isshiki appeared within inches of Nagato, holding a black rod in his hand, and thrust it toward Nagato's heart.
clang!!
Nagato held his six-stranded staff diagonally in front of him, blocking the fatal blow. The point where the black staff and the staff collided erupted with a piercing friction and sparks.
However, even after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, Nagato was still at a disadvantage in terms of pure strength. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and he slid backward uncontrollably.
It should be noted that at this moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki, despite being trapped at the limits of the temporary container "Jigen", only has two days left to live.
But within this limited timeframe, he was able to unleash his full potential without reservation.
That was a terrifying strength that could rival, or even surpass, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had absorbed the Divine Tree.
"Do you think you're qualified to stand before me now?" Isshiki said coldly, looking at the seemingly completely different Nagato. "This time, I will kill you completely."
"That good luck won't come twice."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes opened slightly.
boom!
The shadow instantly enveloped the two of them, and several black and red cubes called "Ookata Ten" appeared in the air above Nagato and Isshiki's heads.
With a crushing, devastating force, it crashed down directly onto the two people below.
But at that moment—
Squeak!
A deafening thunderclap, like the chorus of a thousand birds, tore through the air, and a figure enveloped in lightning appeared as if by teleportation to the side of the rapidly falling "Great Box Heaven".
His right leg rose high and swept out like a battle axe, the lightning wrapped around his leg almost solidifying.
boom! !
The kick landed squarely on the side of "Da Xia Tian," unleashing an unimaginable burst of power. The seemingly unstoppable giant cube was sent flying sideways.
It crashed onto the distant earth with a deafening roar, causing the ground to shake violently.
At the same time, behind Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, a white figure appeared like a ghost, its sword aimed at Isshiki's neck—
clang!!
Several black rods pierced out from the back of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's neck, blocking the slash from behind. A crisp metallic clang rang out, sparks flew, but they could not advance an inch.
Yishiki slightly turned his head and glanced behind him. What he saw was Naruto Uzumaki's face, half of which was covered by a bone mask, and the wooden sword in his hand.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Isshiki's eyes narrowed. "And, a wooden sword?"
Why is such a simple wooden sword so sharp?
