As the pain came from his eye socket, only then did Nagato realize that one of his Rinnegan was snatched away by 'A'.
"!?"
His anger instantly reached the peak!
However, when he tried to activate 'Shinra Tensei' to repel 'A', the effect of 'Four Symbols Seal' suppressed his chakra again, making him unable to activate pupil technique.
So, at this moment he could only watch helplessly as 'A' reached his hand towards his other Rinnegan again.
"Damn it!"
Nagato roared, activating 'Blocking Technique Absorption Seal' regardless of everything.
This technique was one of the important abilities of Rinnegan. Once activated, Nagato could absorb all ninjutsu his body touched.
Although 'Four Symbols Seal' belonged to sealing jutsu, it also didn't break away from the scope of ninjutsu. And its operating principle was to seal the target through contact-type sealing formulas. So this gave Nagato a chance. As he activated 'Blocking Technique Absorption Seal', the ink-colored sealing formulas of 'Four Symbols Seal' applied on his body by Shinji began to melt and deform rapidly.
However, the speed of 'Blocking Technique Absorption Seal' absorbing 'Four Symbols Seal' could never be faster than Shinji's speed of digging eyes. What's more, Shinji was professional in this aspect. So before Nagato solved 'Four Symbols Seal', Shinji's hand had already reached in front of his eye socket.
"No!"
Nagato's face finally showed a terrified expression.
This pair of Rinnegan was his reliance to implement his philosophy and change the Ninja World. Once without this pair of Rinnegan, his ideal was finished!
Shinji didn't hesitate a bit. With a swish, he plucked the remaining Rinnegan from Nagato's eye socket.
After putting the two Rinnegan into the small nutrient jar, only then did he speak: "Nagato, you lost!"
Nagato sat on the ground dejectedly: "Kill me!"
Losing the 'Gedo Statue', losing Tailed Beasts, now even losing Rinnegan, he was indeed completely defeated.
"Kill you? Heh..."
Shinji smiled.
Leaving aside he had no deep hatred with Nagato, under the situation where victory and defeat were decided, Ten-Tails and Rinnegan were seized, whether to kill Nagato or not was irrelevant.
Just at this critical moment of the Hegemon invading the Ninja World, one more powerhouse in the Ninja World meant one more strength. One must know even without Tailed Beasts and Rinnegan, Nagato's own chakra amount belonged to the top handful in the Ninja World.
As long as he was alive, even if doing nothing, he was equivalent to a large-sized chakra battery.
Seeing 'A' seemingly had no intention of killing him, Nagato said angrily: "You don't kill me, are you planning to humiliate me?"
"I'm not that bored!"
Shinji answered casually while putting away the Rinnegan.
Nagato looked puzzled: "Then why don't you kill me?"
"Why don't you tell me, why should I kill you?" Pausing, Shinji curled his lip: "You don't think you are still any threat to me, do you?"
Nagato fell silent.
Admittedly, possessing Rinnegan, 'Gedo Statue', and nine Tailed Beasts, he still lost to 'A'.
Now having lost everything, he indeed posed no threat to 'A'.
Shinji turned and came in front of Nine-Tails and Three-Tails controlled by him.
Behemoths of dozens of meters like Tailed Beasts counted as nothing in the current Shinji's eyes. He took out a sealing scroll from the ninja tool pouch carried with him, then quickly formed hand seals, sealing the Yang Nine-Tails and Three-Tails in front of him into the scroll one after another.
With the huge chakra of Tailed Beasts, using only sealing scrolls naturally couldn't seal them for long.
However, Shinji didn't need to seal these two Tailed Beasts for too long either. As long as he subdued the Ten-Tails and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, everything would be readily solved.
Having solved Nagato, and processed Nine-Tails and Three-Tails, Shinji strode towards Obito imprisoned by his 'Goshingu'.
At this time, Nagato who lost his eyes asked a question lingering in his heart for a long time: "'A', who exactly are you? With the strength of you and those people under you, there is no need at all to wear red cloud cloaks, disguising as us!"
"Disguising as you?" Smiling, Shinji said: "Why say I am disguising as you? And not you disguising as me?"
Nagato said in a deep voice: "The Akatsuki organization was established by Yahiko... me, and Konan together!"
Shinji asked: "Is the Akatsuki organization under your control now still that Akatsuki organization Yahiko established back then?"
"I..."
Nagato hesitated.
The question 'A' asked, he had never thought about before. Now having nothing, and no obsession with becoming a god, pondering carefully, he discovered the current Akatsuki organization had long deviated from Yahiko's original intention of creating the Akatsuki organization.
Nagato whispered: "Was I wrong?"
"You were wrong!" Pausing, Shinji pointed to Obito in the distance: "From beginning to end you were kept in the dark by him, becoming his tool for resurrecting the Ten-Tails."
Although unable to see Shinji's gesture, Nagato knew Shinji referred to Obito, so asked: "What do you mean?"
Shinji explained: "That batch of Akatsuki members who followed you and Yahiko initially, after learning you were attacked, rushed to support you immediately, resulting in being intercepted and killed by him halfway! If Hanzo and Danzo destroyed the soul of the Akatsuki organization, then he is the culprit destroying the body of the Akatsuki organization!"
Nagato didn't show a surprised expression. He and Konan also had speculations about this.
Shinji continued: "He and Zetsu just wanted to use you to resurrect the Ten-Tails, then steal the Ten-Tails from your hands!"
Nagato whispered: "Is he the mastermind behind everything?"
"Mastermind?" Shaking his head, Shinji smiled: "He is like you, also a pitiful tool. And the one remotely controlling him behind the scenes is the real Madara Uchiha!"
"What?"
Nagato's expression turned stern.
Shinji said: "You don't think your Rinnegan belongs to yourself, do you? The original owner of this pair of eyes is Madara Uchiha! Before dying, Madara Uchiha transplanted this pair of Rinnegan to you possessing Uzumaki clan bloodline, and let him be responsible for monitoring and guiding."
Nagato was somewhat unbelieving: "So... my life has been manipulated by others all along?"
Shinji lamented a sentence: "You could say so!"
Nagato asked again: "Then what is Madara Uchiha's purpose in transplanting Rinnegan to me?"
Shinji answered: "Have you forgotten Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique? Madara Uchiha's purpose is wanting you to use this technique to resurrect him, then return this pair of Rinnegan originally belonging to him back to him, letting him return to the Ninja World in his prime!"
Saying this, Shinji arrived in front of Obito.
Awakening 'Goshingu' gave him nearly invincible ability in one-on-one, but also made his idea of mastering the ability to shuttle through space fall through. So wanting to leave 'Kamui Dimension', he could only find a way on Obito, such as digging out Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan.
