On the calm face of Edo Tensei Madara, shock and disbelief appeared for the first time.

Aside from himself, how could there be a second pair of Rinnegan in this world?

And preserved in such a way, as if they were trophies in a collection.

However, what shook his mind even more came next!

Renya’s movements showed not the slightest hesitation.

His left hand came together like a blade and suddenly stabbed into his own left eye socket.

"Pu-chi!"

Blood instantly flowed down through the gaps of his fingers and across his cheeks.

But there was not the slightest trace of pain on Renya’s face—only a nearly cruel level of focus.

The first time gouging out your own eyeball, you absolutely must not be careless.

Otherwise, if the eye gets damaged, it will be troublesome.

With force applied by his fingers, in the next second the still-warm left eyeball was forcibly dug out.

Then he carefully placed the eyeball into the culture dish.

Inside the hollow left eye socket, flesh and blood were a mess, with blood continuously pouring out.

Renya’s movements did not stop. He immediately took out the left Rinnegan from the culture dish, didn’t even look at it, and directly pressed it into the empty eye socket.

With his current physical condition, the eye should be plug-and-play.

As long as his recovery ability is strong enough, even the optic nerves can reconnect on their own—there is no need for a medical ninja to perform an eye transplant surgery!

Only weaklings need medical ninja to help. A real man’s eyes support hot-swapping!

The moment the Rinnegan entered the socket, Renya felt the optic nerves beginning to connect. The Rinnegan, which had appeared somewhat pale from long immersion in solution, gradually regained its luster.

Clearly, his guess was correct!

With his current recovery ability, it was not inferior to Uchiha Madara who possessed Hashirama’s cells.

Even if it wasn’t equal to Hashirama’s cells, the gap wouldn’t be very large.

Edo Tensei Madara watched Renya’s actions and was completely stunned.

This kid’s recovery ability rivals Hashirama! Is he really an Uchiha?!

Madara seriously suspected that Renya, like himself, had transplanted Hashirama’s cells in order to obtain such astonishing regenerative ability.

After several breaths, the pale purple chakra and blood overflowing from Renya’s left eye gradually subsided.

He slowly released the hand pressing against his eye socket.

He raised his head.

His right eye was still the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with its complex pattern.

But his left eye had become a pale purple ripple-patterned Rinnegan, radiating a powerful aura of destruction!

Blood still hung on his cheeks, and paired with two completely different eyes, his entire presence became filled with overwhelming pressure.

One Sharingan, one Rinnegan.

This combination was no longer exclusive to Obito alone!

After transplanting the Rinnegan, Renya could feel that the eye’s demand for chakra had clearly increased.

Perhaps because it wasn’t originally his eye, the Rinnegan was constantly consuming his own chakra.

Fortunately, he possessed enormous chakra reserves, making that bit of consumption negligible.

"Now, I should be able to deal with you."

Renya’s lips curled slightly.

"Perfect timing to test the power of my new eye!"

To be honest, if circumstances had allowed it, he would have wanted to experience the feeling of having the Rinnegan long ago.

As his voice fell, a black rod appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Do not underestimate the black rod. It was a product of Yin–Yang Release, making it extremely suitable for dealing with Edo Tensei.

In the original story, someone revived by Edo Tensei had been pinned to the ground by Madara using Yin–Yang Release.

Edo Tensei Madara looked at the black rod in Renya’s hand and fell silent.

He truly had not expected Renya to obtain a pair of Rinnegan. At this moment, his Edo Tensei body had no advantage in front of this kid.

Subconsciously, he looked toward the distance, where another version of himself was battling the others. A trace of anxiety appeared on his face.

Why hasn’t White Zetsu delivered the eyes yet?!

If this drags on any longer, it will be detrimental to their plan!

No, he must stall until White Zetsu delivers the eyes!

The other ninja of the Allied Shinobi Forces who were watching the battle were all stunned when they saw the Rinnegan in Renya’s left eye.

Although they didn’t know who the suddenly appearing man was, nor where he had obtained the Rinnegan.

But Edo Tensei Madara seemed to be no match for him.

Doesn’t that mean the ninja world is saved?!

Even though Edo Tensei Madara wanted to delay things for as long as possible, in front of Renya who possessed the Rinnegan, he ultimately couldn’t stall for long.

In the end, he could only be humiliatingly pinned to the ground by the black rod, watching Renya’s departing back with unwillingness filling his eyes.

"Heh heh, the new eye really is powerful."

"You damn brat!"

If the other version of himself hadn’t stolen his chance at resurrection, he wouldn’t have been pinned to the ground by this arrogant brat, suffering such humiliation!

By now, how could he still not understand where Renya’s pair of eyes came from?

They must have come from another version of himself in another timeline—defeated by Renya before death, with the pair of Rinnegan taken and kept as trophies.

Edo Tensei Madara could only hope that the other version of himself would defeat everyone and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Completely bring peace to the entire ninja world!

"Madara-sama!"

At that moment, Black Zetsu, controlling Obito’s body, arrived before Madara who had been pinned to the ground.

Light returned to Edo Tensei Madara’s despairing eyes.

"Black Zetsu, quickly use Rinne Rebirth to revive me!"

As long as he revived successfully, he could become the Ten-Tails’ Jinchūriki and bring peace to the ninja world.

Compared to the other version of himself, he would rather trust himself!

After all, that guy was merely a loser.

"Madara-sama, Obito’s life force has already run out. I don’t know if it will succeed..." Black Zetsu hesitated.

If it hadn’t possessed Obito, that guy would have died long ago.

As for whether Rinne Rebirth could be used again, it truly wasn’t certain.

"Just try!"

...

Meanwhile, Edo Tensei Minato, Edo Tensei Tobirama, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke were simultaneously fighting against the eyeless Uchiha Madara.

Although Uchiha Madara was powerful, facing the combined assault of everyone, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

There was no helping it—he had no eyes.

If he had had eyes earlier, he would have seen the scene of Renya taking out a pair of Rinnegan.

"Obito!"

During the battle, Namikaze Minato noticed Obito climbing up from the ground and walking toward Edo Tensei Madara.

Before he could understand what was happening, the living Madara seized the opening and blasted both him and Senju Tobirama away.

At that moment, a White Zetsu appeared on the battlefield.

"Madara-sama,"

Uchiha Madara deliberately distanced himself from Naruto and Sasuke, speaking calmly.

"You finally came, Obito."

For some reason, Obito gave him the exact same feeling as the Obito from his own timeline.

Maybe it was because they were both Obito...

But he did not dwell on the issue. Obito’s arrival meant the Rinnegan had also arrived!

Uchiha Madara stuffed the Rinnegan into his eye sockets. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the few people before him with solemn expressions, he could not help but burst into laughter toward the sky.

"The long-lost feeling has returned!"

With the Rinnegan, he was no longer someone these few people could stop.

Until Madara noticed Renya watching the show nearby, and his laughter abruptly stopped.

Wait a second.

Where did this kid get a Rinnegan from?!
