The Rinnegan is not a common thing. In all historical records and even myths and legends, only the Six Paths Sage possesses it.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with Nagato's Rinnegan before because I didn't think much about it, but now I feel there are many doubts.

There are many bloodline limits with side effects. Powerful bloodline inheritances always have some unavoidable weaknesses, but it is rare to see someone like Nagato causing such serious damage to himself.

Judging from the existing information, there should be no doubt that Nagato has the bloodline of the Uzumaki family, but when did the Uzumaki family become related to the Rinnegan?

From ancient times to the present, the Uzumaki family has only shown characteristics such as excellent physical fitness, strong physical strength, and huge chakra. They are also very good at sealing techniques.

Only in recent decades have they been discovered to possess beings that are perfectly suited to serve as containers of the power of the tailed beasts - the jinchūriki.

But the Uzumaki family had never been associated with the Samsara Eye. Not to mention records, there had never even been a rumor about it, and the entire ninja world had no news of this.

Where did Nagato's Rinnegan come from?

Blood limits of the eye technique type are extremely rare, especially a unique type like the Rinnegan.

There was not much information, and how to deal with it had cost a huge price. Jiraiya had finally obtained the Rinnegan, but he had not thought carefully about it. It all happened too suddenly.

"I haven't thought about it yet!"

Jiraiya shook his head regretfully.

"When the legendary Immortal's Eye appeared before my eyes a long time ago, I didn't think carefully enough, and it ended up like this. The consequence of my negligence is nothing but devastation."

“That’s right…”

Mizuki, who originally wanted to suggest to Jiraiya that he destroy the Rinnegan or hand it over to him for disposal, opened his mouth but did not say anything.

"What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say..."

Mizuki hesitated for a moment, but finally said indirectly:

"As the source of all the unrest, should we completely destroy the Samsara Eye? If we don't have this thing, I think there will be less trouble in the future."

If it can be utilized, it will certainly be a great help, but who will use it? More specifically, who can unleash the power of the Rinnegan?

Don’t think that Nagato is not strong just because he has such a hard time supporting the Rinnegan.

Even though they are all members of the Uzumaki family, their qualifications vary.

Accepting and transplanting other people's organs is not an easy task. It is already extremely difficult to avoid rejection reaction, and it is even more difficult to fully utilize the power of their bloodline limit.

Kakashi Hatake opened the Mangekyō Sharingan more than ten years ago, but he was only able to use Kamui recently. It is unknown how long it takes to accumulate enough chakra for a big move.

"I can't just ignore Nagato's attempt to get rid of me before he died! This is all I can do."

It was also Nagato's last wish to have Jiraiya find a good master for the Rinnegan.

"But didn't Nagato reveal at the end that the origin of the Rinnegan was very suspicious? We should be more cautious!"

In his words, Nagato hinted that the power of the Rinnegan was not originally his.

"But Nagato awakened the Rinnegan when he was very young, so there shouldn't be any doubts."

Jiraiya tried hard to defend himself and Nagato, and it seemed that he had some doubts himself.

Mizuki also couldn't reveal too much information from an unknown source.

"What if, I mean, is it possible that the real mastermind behind all this had already arranged it many years ago?"

Mizuki's words shocked Jiraiya:

"How could such an organization or ninja exist in the ninja world when they have used the Rinnegan to plan and arrange for so many years?"

Mizuki sighed, knowing that Jiraiya wouldn't believe it. No one else would have guessed that all this was just a necessary step for someone's resurrection.

What is the difference between one Rinnegan and two Rinnegan?

Shuimu didn't think there was much difference in essence. All the secret techniques of the six paths and the outer paths could be used without any hindrance.

The only difference is that when the owner of the Rinnegan retracts it, he can use his unique Rinnegan pupil technique.

The Mangekyō Sharingan can activate Susanoo, and also has various wonderful eye techniques. The unique secret techniques of the Rinnegan are also different.

The unique eye technique of Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan is Rinnegan. After Uchiha Sasuke obtained the power of Six Paths and upgraded the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan, the unique eye technique he possessed was the Sky Hand ability that could displace space.

It seems that unless all the Rinnegan are completely destroyed, there is not much difference between having only one Rinnegan left and having a pair of Rinnegan left.

It seems that we need to think carefully about how to deal with the Rinnegan.

…

In a dark space, Hoshigaki Kisame was waiting quietly. He didn't know how long it had been. When his injuries were about to deteriorate rapidly, the space twisted, and uncontrollable force was exerted on him. His vision was confused, and after a moment, a bright light appeared.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who saw the light of day again, was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. He endured the severe pain of his seriously injured body, struggled to stand up, held Samehada horizontally in front of him, and put on a vigilant defensive posture.

“Don’t be nervous!”

A somewhat frivolous voice came into Hoshigaki Kisame's ears.

"It's you, Afei!"

The shark-faced man instantly realized that he was out of danger, put down his Samehada, and used it as a crutch to support his shaky body and prevent himself from falling.

"I didn't expect that the first person I saw after surviving a near-death experience would be you."

"Senior has put in a lot of effort this time, but unfortunately only a few of the organization survived. The organization that was once prosperous now has only these few people left. Especially Senior Deidara, his death was meaningless, what a pity."

"From your tone, the battle seems to be going badly. Is it over?"

"yes!"

The Uzumaki-masked Ah Fei in front of him did not show any frustration of defeat, but answered nonchalantly.

"Even the leader is dead. It's such a pity. It's not wise to confront Konoha Village and Kirigakure head-on."

"The legendary Samsara Eye was defeated?"

"After all, there are two immortals on the other side, and there are other people helping from time to time. There is nothing we can do about it. With only a few of us, no matter how strong we are, it's too much of a stretch."

"Is that so..."

Hoshigaki Kisame nodded.

"How is Uchiha Itachi? I got separated from him halfway."

“I’m sorry!”

At this time, the strange Jue emerged from the ground, with the yin-yang face still hidden under the two reed-like leaves.

"Uchiha Itachi is dead. He was killed by his brother, Uchiha Sasuke. It's really surprising that the vulnerable boy back then has become so strong..."

"In fact, it should be that there seemed to be something wrong with Uchiha Itachi's body, so he was killed. It's such a pity."

Uchiha Obito added at the right time.

"That's a pity."

A top master with powerful fighting ability, who was not inferior to any ninja, died in such an unclear place.

"Itachi is dead."

Hoshigaki Kisame muttered to himself, looking a little distraught.

Even when Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization who possessed the Rinnegan, was defeated, Hoshigaki Kisame had never lost his composure like this.

"For a guy who is not tolerated anywhere, death is a relief."

Perhaps hidden beneath his old-fashioned face, there is some obsession that cannot be given up.

But when Hoshigaki Kisame examined himself, he still didn't want to do anything. The reason why he stayed in the "Akatsuki" organization and didn't leave was only because his partner was Uchiha Itachi, who had the same experience of slaughtering his compatriots as himself. Here, perhaps they could have some common language. The rest was his persistence as a ninja to complete the mission.

Because of this, he became an excellent ninja, and because of this he became a rebel ninja, and was finally recruited by the "Akatsuki" organization.

I have reflected on my past before, but like Uchiha Itachi, no matter how I think about it, I can't turn back.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was a little absent-minded, dragged his seriously injured body and staggered forward, intending to leave here.

Hoshigaki Kisame paused, then replied:

“There is nothing I want here anymore…”

There is no organization left to linger, and it is time to leave and find the next hiding place.

"Wait a minute..."

Ah Fei, who was originally a little jumpy, let out a rather mature voice from behind the mask.

"Just listen to me for now, the organization still needs your strength now!"

"oh?"

Hoshigaki Kisame turned around and looked at Ah Fei, who was rarely serious.

"Why should I stay here? I didn't expect that you have such a great secret. So can you tell me who you are and what reasons you plan to use to convince me?"

Knowing that there was no reason and that there might be no way to convince this capable assistant, Uchiha Obito decisively took off the Uzumaki mask on his face.

"Huh? This is really surprising. I didn't expect to see the Fourth Mizukage at this time and place."

Due to some accidents, Hoshigaki Kisame, who knew some secrets about the former Three-Tails Jinchuriki Yagura when he controlled the Hidden Mist Village, realized that the middle-aged man in front of him was the mastermind behind the Blood Mist Town and was one of the indirect reasons that led to his betrayal of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Well, is this reason enough?"

"Of course, it's an honor. I haven't seen the completion of the mission that the Mizukage-sama assigned me back then!"

"That's great!"

Because of his strength and reputation, when Hoshigaki Kisame was in the Hidden Mist Village, he was always the secret cleaner and the last resort. To put it bluntly, when the mission failed, he would kill his fellow villagers to avoid being captured or causing unnecessary trouble, or when necessary, he would kill his own insiders, those fellow ninjas who knew too much and did not need to know the intelligence, and they were also his mission targets.

It is ironic that after many years of career as a Mist Ninja, more Mist Ninja died at the hands of Hoshigaki Kisame than enemies from other ninja villages.

There must always be some such characters in a ninja village.

Such a necessary evil walking in the shadows usually has a bad end. Either one gets caught up in trouble and dies, or one becomes a traitor. There is basically no one who can have a good beginning and a good end.

In Konoha Village, when the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was in charge of the village, the ones who played such a role were Danzo Shimura and the "Root" organization he led.

"It's a good choice to be able to contribute to the Mizukage-sama again."

Hoshigaki Kisame watched with interest as Uchiha Obito put on the mask again.

"So, what should we do next?"

"Heal your wounds, and then seal the Three-Tails. What's next?"

Uchiha Obito turned his head and looked in the direction of the Wind Kingdom.

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki is almost there!"

While everyone is busy, it is a good opportunity for Kakuzu and Hidan to capture Lao Zi, whose whereabouts have been discovered.

The organization's leader personally took action, and Kakuzu and Hidan did not show up. It is naturally impossible that they were lazy, but they were doing tasks that were more suitable for them.

The Lava Release of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi, is actually quite effective in restraining the so-called immortal ninjas.

The defense is strong and the attack ability is not weak. With the attack power of Hidan and Kakuzu, it is really a bit difficult. But another advantage of immortality is the incredibly abundant physical strength. Even if it is a test of patience, Kakuzu and Hidan are sure to win. The only difference is the length of time it takes.

Now it seems that although Lao Zi is no longer young, he still deserves the reputation of being in good health.

"Wait until that's over, and then we'll seal up the Four-Tails together!"

With the added power of the two tailed beasts, the Gaiden Demon Statue can almost recover some of its combat effectiveness. It is no longer like it is now, looking powerful but extremely useless when used.

…

It is not an easy task to confront a jinchūriki head-on. This time, it is the first time that Kakuzu and Hidan face a jinchūriki with full combat power. Even with his immortal body, the difficulty of the battle is far beyond their expectations.

Hidan, whose half of his body was cut off by Mizuki and then fell into the lava, finally had the help of White Zetsu and Kakuzu's Earth Grudge to help sew him up before he was able to recover into a complete human form. But now, his complete left arm has become only a piece of charcoal emitting black smoke.

Kakuzu's situation was slightly better. The earth-attribute heart monster had been broken, and the other attribute heart monsters as well as the main body had not been burned to ashes by the Lava Release thanks to his agility.

"Hey, Kakuzu, this guy's Lava Release Armor is too hard to deal with. Weapons can't cause any damage to him, and we can't get close to him."

"Hold on a little longer, the enemy is running out of energy."

After all, he is an elderly man over fifty years old and cannot compete in energy with the undead monster with almost unlimited physical strength.
