Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

The competence of the Konoha ninjas exceeded his expectations, and similarly, Black Zetsu was greatly disappointed that Nagato's headquarters was found so easily.

Not only did Nagato fail to expand Akatsuki's power as planned, but even his own existence was detected by the Konoha ninjas. Not only was Pain defeated by the Konoha ninjas, but now, under Minato Namikaze's patient guidance, he was even beginning to harbor thoughts of betrayal.

This forced Black Zetsu, who had been secretly monitoring Nagato, to intervene at the risk of being exposed.

With the actions of the Konoha ninjas, his and Madara Uchiha's initial plan has failed, and Obito Uchiha's whereabouts are currently unknown. Now... at the very least, he cannot allow the Rinnegan to slip out of his control!

Nagato was no longer of any use to him.

Rather than letting this unstable guy continue to control the Rinnegan, it's better to completely change the plan and pace, and revive Uchiha Madara at this very moment!

These guys are all unreliable. Let Madara do the work of collecting the tailed beasts himself!

After a moment's thought, Black Zetsu made his decision. He could not allow the Rinnegan to escape his control, and now was clearly the perfect opportunity to make his move.

but....

Madara Uchiha's body was hidden in Kirigakure. Obito's infiltration plan into Kirigakure went smoothly, and Mizukage Yagura had been completely controlled and turned into a puppet.

Madara Uchiha "guided" Obito back then in Amegakure, and when he died of old age, Madara's body was naturally placed in Amegakure and was not moved.

The Samsara Rebirth Technique has its limitations. The most important thing right now is to control Nagato to leave here and head to Kirigakure.

but.....

Through Nagato's senses, Black Zetsu "saw" Minato and Shinichi Hyuga, who were a hundred meters away from the Golem and had not left.

He understood that if he didn't eliminate these Konoha ninjas here, he probably wouldn't be able to leave smoothly with Nagato.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Black Zetsu controlled Nagato's body to form the "巳" hand seal.

White Zetsu... that was originally a product of the Divine Tree. Black Zetsu could create as many of these as he wanted, and he wouldn't feel any heartache at the death of White Zetsu.

Compared to White Zetsu's negligible consciousness, White Zetsu's body is actually quite useful. As a product of the Divine Tree, White Zetsu naturally has a close connection with the Ten-Tails' hull, namely the Gedo Mazo.

Nagato is a member of the Uzumaki clan, and like the Senju clan, he is one of the clans most closely related to the Sage of Six Paths in terms of bloodline. Using Nagato's body and fragments of White Zetsu's body, this current Ten-Tails husk can possess even greater power than before.

As the seal was formed, the black rods that had just been broken by Minato Namikaze began to grow back. At the same time, the black rods inside the golem's mouth also rapidly extended and quickly connected with the black rods behind Nagato.

The massive Gedo Mazo, upon reconnecting with Nagato's chakra, roared to the sky. The sound waves and chakra mixed to form a shockwave that swept outwards from the Gedo Mazo in all directions.

"call--"

A strong wind howled, and Minato's white divine robes fluttered in the wind. Looking at the Gedo Mazo that was releasing a powerful aura, Minato silently tightened his grip on the Flying Thunder God Kunai. After a moment of contemplation, he made his decision.

"Shinichi, I'm going to save Nagato."

"Whatever Black Zetsu is planning to do, we must not let him succeed."

"Their target is likely Nagato's Rinnegan; we absolutely cannot let this go unchecked."

"I have a premonition that if we allow the Rinnegan to fall into the hands of the enemy, Konoha will definitely suffer annihilation!"

Minato's tone was heavy. He did not intend to abandon Nagato just because Nagato was his enemy before. He had realized Nagato's importance and wanted to take Nagato back from Black Zetsu.

"Ok!"

"Of course."

Shinichi Hyuga nodded upon hearing this. The situation had already deviated significantly from its original trajectory, and the "advanced" intelligence he possessed was no longer of much advantage in the current situation.

Fortunately, Shinichi Hyuga has always trained very hard, and his strength has improved tremendously over the years. Even without the information gap, he can still have a huge impact on the situation based on his own strength.

Minato intends to take back Nagato, and Shinichi naturally has no objection.

Honestly, he had no idea which direction the future would take. Holding the belief that "the more the enemy wants to do something, the less we can let them succeed," Shinichi Hyuga could never tolerate Nagato falling into Zetsu's hands.

He knew all too well the value of the Rinnegan, and Shinichi Hyuga also understood that the Rinnegan was Black Zetsu, the most crucial element in Madara Uchiha's series of plans.

If we compare Black Zetsu and Madara's plans to a large formation, then the core of this formation is the Rinnegan.

If you want to thwart the opponent's overall plan, starting from this aspect is the most appropriate and effective approach.

“I left my mark on that place.”

"Shinichi!"

As Minato spoke, he looked at Shinichi Hyuga, who immediately understood and quickly came to Minato's side, taking Minato's forearm with one hand.

The moment their chakra connected, Minato swiftly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Shinichi away from where he stood.

Meanwhile, the golem, under Zetsu's control, had fully revived and was preparing to attack Shinichi Hyuga and the others when Zetsu suddenly discovered that the golem had disappeared from the spot, leaving only Konan behind.

This wasn't a target he absolutely needed to attack. In fact, to him, someone like Konan was dispensable. Compared to cleaning up the small fry, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of Minato Namikaze and Shinichi Hyuga.

"Flying Thunder God Technique..."

"What a troublesome fellow!"

Unsurprisingly, Minato and Shinichi, who had disappeared outside, returned to the mouth of the Gedo Mazo. At this moment, their feet were attached to the dome inside the mazo's mouth, looking down at Nagato and Black Zetsu.

Minato and Shinichi were silently observing Nagato's current state after he was possessed by Black Zetsu.

Judging from appearances, although Nagato is conscious, he has absolutely no control over himself and has become a puppet of Black Zetsu.

Shinichi was quite alarmed when he realized this. He hadn't expected that the Black Order's control over Nagato was so strong. If the object possessed by the Black Order had been himself instead of Nagato, he probably wouldn't have been able to break free from its control.

As expected of Black Zetsu, who could control Obito in Six Paths and rip out Madara's heart in Six Paths, this guy's abilities are far stronger than imagined.

To be fair... Obito in Six Paths possessed some degree of "resistance" to Black Zetsu's control, but Nagato...

"The Yondaime!"

"Please do me a favor..."

"kill me!"

"I don't want to become a pawn on the chessboard like this!"

Nagato naturally noticed Minato and Shinichi appearing above him. Although he couldn't control his body, he could still speak.

At this point, Nagato, having failed to gain control of his body, realized his predicament. He knew that he was now a pawn of the other party, and his life or death depended on whether the other party needed him.

But his pride wouldn't allow him to become like this; rather than be manipulated by others, he'd rather die.

Now...

The only people capable of doing something like this are probably the Hokage and his subordinates.

Nagato's sensory ninjutsu allowed him to clearly sense that Black Zetsu's chakra was almost identical to Nagato's. This was not a simple "puppet technique," and Minato couldn't think of a way to separate Black Zetsu in a short time.

Even if sealing techniques are used, given the consistency of the opponent's chakra, the result would likely be that Nagato is sealed along with him.

Minato, who was deep in thought, heard Nagato's request and his expression changed slightly.

He knew that Nagato was mentally prepared.

"Jiraiya-sensei and I will take good care of Minami."

"Konoha... will also protect the Land of Rain and do its best to bring peace to this country!"

Minato knew what Nagato was worried about deep down. While making a solemn promise, he also used Body Flicker to appear above Nagato's head and thrust the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand directly at the top of Nagato's head.

He was never an indecisive person, and he never showed his soft-hearted side to his enemies.

Even when facing Obito and Minato, with whom he had a deeper bond, he showed no mercy on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, not to mention Nagato, whom he had only met once.

Minato's move was aimed at ending the battle.

"Hmph..."

However, Black Zetsu suddenly let out a soft laugh, and Nagato also looked up abruptly, reaching out towards Minato above him, and immediately activated Shinra Tensei.

The repulsive force was instantly unleashed on Minato, sending him flying.

Just as Minato was about to crash into the dome of the golem, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

As Minato was knocked away by Shinra Tensei, Shinichi Hyuga also swiftly fired two kunai at Nagato.

One is a three-pronged kunai, and the other is a standard, standard-issue kunai.

Both kunai were imbued with lightning-attribute chakra, making them incredibly fast, and they were already close to Nagato in an instant.

One stab was aimed at the head, and the other at the heart.

Just as Nagato was about to perish under Shinichi's kunai, two white clumps of substance suddenly grew rapidly from his body.

Two white Zetsu sprouted from Nagato's body, one on his shoulder and one on his abdomen.

After White Zetsu appeared, he also reached out to grab the flying kunai.

However, the Lightning Release kunai pierced directly through the White Zetsu's palm. Although the two White Zetsu's resistance failed to negate the kunai's force, it did change the kunai's direction.

The kunai aimed at Nagato's head flew past his cheek, while the kunai aimed at his heart veered off course and pierced his shoulder, embedding itself in the ground.

Blood flowed from Nagato's shoulder, but soon, the White Zetsu on Nagato's shoulder used its hand to stop the wound. At that moment, the White Zetsu's hand "melted" and merged with Nagato's body, repairing the injury on his shoulder.

Shinichi Hyuga watched this scene with a somber and serious expression.

The difficulty of dealing with the other party is even greater than expected!
