Chapter 139 The Dog with a Broken Spine, Nagato!
It is completely dead.
Nagato woke up not long ago, but unfortunately, perhaps due to the severity of her injuries, she ended up in this state. However, this is only temporary; Nagato has not truly gone mad, but simply needs some time to recover.
He is recovering steadily.
The real problem wasn't mental, but physical. To keep Nagato alive, Black Zetsu added a large number of Hashirama Senju's cells when stitching up Nagato's head, and then problems arose.
Previously, Nagato's own cells, Hashirama Senju's cells, and White Zetsu's cells seemed to have reached some kind of strange balance, ultimately making Nagato even stronger. But now, Nagato only has a head left; the rest no longer belongs to him.
That balance was broken. Countless flesh and blood tissues, like tree roots, appeared on Nagato's neck. On his face, the flesh that had been dug out and healed, which should have been empty spaces, turned into incredibly horrifying and bizarre faces because of Hashirama Senju's cells.
If someone were to lift Nagato's head now, they would find that there is a new face on the back of Nagato's head—that is, the face of Hashirama Mikate.
Nagato has now become a deformed monster, and not only that, his strength has also declined.
White Zetsu is indeed a good thing, but its strength is not particularly great. At least, the chakra and vitality that White Zetsu's flesh and blood can provide are not as much as Nagato's original flesh and blood. Although it has the support of Hashirama Senju's flesh and blood, that flesh and blood is too little.
The current Nagato no longer possesses the power he had when fighting Uchiha Tsuki. Furthermore, due to the loss of too much of his own flesh and blood, his body has become weak, and the existence of the Rinnegan has begun to burden his body. He is now unable to use some of the Rinnegan's powers.
Clearly, everything was getting better before. You know, before, he felt that his Rinnegan was constantly transforming, becoming more and more comfortable and easier to use. Now, all of that has vanished in an instant, it's all over!
Nagato—
Beside the bed, Konan looked at Nagato with a sorrowful and heartbroken expression. Nagato's voice and appearance were still vivid in her mind. His confident and invincible demeanor kept surging in her mind. At that time, she naively believed that Nagato would surely win a great victory. However, in just a short time, all that was left of her Nagato was his head.
If it weren't for Black Zetsu, Nagato would have been completely dead. At that time, she really didn't know what to do.
After all, with only a head left, how could it possibly still be alive?
Nagato's condition did not last long. By the time Obito and Black Zetsu came to find him, Nagato had almost regained consciousness.
"We failed, Madara. You were right. Uchiha Tsuki is invincible. He's not a god, he's a monster! A monster that transcends reason, a monster that shouldn't exist!"
"Our only option is to wait, to wait for Uchiha Tsuki to die of old age!"
"Ban, don't worry, I will fully support the previous plan from now on!"
Nagato spoke, admitting his defeat.
"Nagato, it's good that you understand! We warned you before, Uchiha Tsuki is someone we can't possibly fight, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, if Zetsu hadn't reacted in time, you'd be dead by now!"
Without you as a vessel, what will happen to the Rinnegan? What if you really die inside, causing the Rinnegan to be completely destroyed?
Obito crossed his arms, looked at Nagato, and shook his head inwardly. He had already made up his mind that if Nagato dared to cause any more trouble, he would simply activate the backup plan within Nagato's body and take Nagato under control.
"Alright, let's talk about what happened before. There's new information: Kumogakure has developed a powerful weapon and is preparing to attack Uchiha Tsuki!"
Black Zetsu shook his head, took out a piece of information, and handed it to Nagato. Unfortunately, because the neural connection was not yet complete, Nagato's body could not move much. Konan took the information and began to read it in front of Nagato.
"Hahaha, impossible! A bunch of idiots! Uchiha Tsukuyomi, he's a monster beyond gods! How could a bunch of lowly mortals kill him? That's the invincible Mangekyou Sharingan!!! It's power that surpasses the Rinnegan!"
However, Nagato didn't even look at it, and just shook his head and laughed. Clearly, that near-death battle had completely shattered Nagato's self-proclaimed godhood, and he now believed from the bottom of his heart that Uchiha Tsuki was invincible.
"What if? I secretly went to Kumogakure to investigate, and the theoretical attack power of this Lightning Release Electromagnetic Cannon is ridiculously high—"
Black Zetsu spoke up, expressing his surprise that the Hidden Cloud Village had produced something so dangerous and terrifying—a super electromagnetic cannon with an initial velocity exceeding Mach 100. This kind of thing…
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Uchiha Tsuki is invincible, unbeatable. There's no way to defeat him! Needless to say, Zetsu, these people are just clowns. They'll give up once they realize they can't defeat Uchiha Tsuki!"
"Ouch, oh, my head! Help—.—. Help me—"
Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, Nagato began shaking his head frantically, denying everything, like a mouse whose load had been broken and all hope shattered. He now had a psychological trauma regarding Uchiha Tsukuyomi. His head had been forcibly attached to this body, and although he had survived, it had not fully healed. This turning and shaking directly caused Nagato's spine to dislocate.
Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu immediately stepped forward and forcibly pulled Nagato's neck back down.
"Nagato, during this time, before your head is completely fused with this body, do not make any sudden movements, especially shaking or nodding your head. I'm afraid you might accidentally break your head off!"
"There's no life support device on your head right now. If it falls off, you'll be dead for good."
Black Zetsu took out a bundle of bandages and tightly wrapped them around Nagato's neck, then used Earth Release to immobilize Nagato's neck.
Standing to the side, Obito Uchiha looked at Nagato in this state and was at a loss for words. He realized that Nagato had gone from one extreme to the other, becoming a spineless dog.
