Alternative Title: They Are Really Huge
Pain is left alone with the original body. Beside him, Zaydas appears while Konan has fainted.
Looking at Pain's skeletal body connected to the Gedo Statue, although he felt the scene was much more eerie than in the manga, he approached.
"So, this is Nagato in real life." His eyes were as he expected—purple with black rings around them—three rings, with the middle one in a darker shade and a small black dot at the center.
He had the option to replicate the Rinnegan, use Card to steal it, or use Fenrir. He chose the third option.
Obito had lost the Sharingan, and if Nagato disappeared, all of Black Zetsu and Madara's plans would be ruined.
That thought made him feel good. The sensation of frustrating their plans gave him a very pleasant feeling.
"Fenrir," Zaydas murmured softly while using darkness manipulation to expand the shadow, making a huge wolf emerge from it.
It was the most anticlimactic thing possible. Fenrir swallowed Nagato and the Gedo Statue, immediately beginning to dissolve, absorb, and analyze them at the same time.
However, he left Nagato's soul aside. He intended to give Nagato a second chance.
And he was only doing it because he felt like it. He had the ability, so he would do it.
Once the analysis and absorption were complete, Nagato didn't even try to resist while under the control of the Loki skill. Soon, all the skills and even the Rinnegan were analyzed to the point that...
[Unique Skill: [Sharingan] has evolved into Unique Skill: [Rinnegan (Rank A+)]!]
[Intrinsic Skill: [Chakra] has become Rank A+!]
[+247,487 AP!]
The amount of chakra he now possessed seemed infinite compared to before.
Meanwhile, Nagato's soul floated in Fenrir's 'stomach.'
Looking at 'Pain,' Zaydas transferred Nagato's soul.
When that was done, Nagato tried to wake up, but Zaydas made him faint with [Paralyzing Breath].
After removing the Chakra Rods, he saw that 'Pain's' body, now inhabited by Nagato's soul, had no visible issues.
Using [Analysis], he tried to find any problems but found none. In the end, it became a perfect vessel for Nagato, and not much different from an ordinary human, just with a little chakra.
After all, all of Nagato's chakra had been absorbed by him. As for his eyes, they were now brown.
Placing a hand on Konan and Nagato, he teleported them to a more distant area in the Land of Fire.
Now, whatever happened to them from that moment on, he didn't really care.
He did what he wanted to do, but he wouldn't take any responsibility for them. At the very least, it would now be nearly impossible for them to cause the same chaos they did while Nagato still possessed the Rinnegan.
He didn't like telling others to understand 'Pain,' so now, he should experience what it's like to be an ordinary person and understand ordinary people better.
...
Back in the Leaf Village, in his apartment, he was still able to see through Sasori's eyes.
That organization, which could be seen as dangerous, was about to collapse.

Konan wakes up on a grassy field surrounded by trees and sees someone near her.
"Nagato?" she murmurs, confused.
In reality, it was a version that resembled both Nagato and their deceased friend, Yahiko.
His hair was red, but his face was very similar to Yahiko's, with some features of Nagato.
She was confused.
She shook him. When he opened his eyes, they were brown and unfocused.
'Where is your Rinnegan!?'
She had so many questions, but now wasn't the right time for that.
"Nagato?" she asked hesitantly.
"Konan..." he murmured, bringing his hands to his head, seeming dizzy.
"Is it really you?" she asked.
"Yes?" Nagato seemed unable to grasp his current situation. "I am... Nagato. Why are you acting so..."
Before he could say 'strange,' he seemed to realize something.
"What's going on?" He looked at his hands. "What happened to me?"
He performed hand seals, but nothing happened.
"I don't know, but... It looks like you took over Yahiko's body and became an ordinary person," Konan said.
Nagato's eyes became empty.
"How can this be... I am a God! How did I, a God, become a mere human?" he murmured in disbelief.
Konan, seeing this, sighed.
She didn't dislike it, but she also didn't approve of Nagato's delusions about considering himself a God. Still, as a good friend, she chose to follow him because she believed in the greater plan they shared.
But now that everything had ended like this, could they still continue down the same path?
She was strong on her own, but not enough, and Nagato had become an ordinary person with almost no chakra... If before, even with all that power, it was already difficult, now...
She sighed deeply while looking at the sky.

More than 20 jutsus. That's what he obtained from Nagato. Many of them were related to the Rinnegan.
Some were very useful, others not so much.
By the way, when he entered the Kamui dimension, he saw a space where there were several Sharingans.
'So this is where he kept all the Uchiha Clan's eyes...'
It wasn't all that surprising. If he were in Obito's place, he would have done the same—after all, was there a safer place than the dimension itself?
Well, he probably would have wanted to move them elsewhere once he found out that Kakashi had started accessing Kamui, but... That wasn't the case.
After using Fenrir, he gained some skills while slightly improving the Rinnegan.
Of course, it wasn't a rank evolution—it was still Rank A+—but it became a deeper and more powerful ability.
Although the evolution itself was not through natural means, most of its uses were linked to the former owners of the eyes.
Leaving the dark dimension of blocks, Zaydas appeared in his apartment once again.
He tested the use of 'Kamui' a little, and after several analyses with accelerated thoughts, he managed to understand how to use this ability.
'Now, I have a dimension to capture living people...'
Hearing the kettle whistle, he started making black tea while thinking.
'Why do I feel such a strong urge to play God?'
With this, he could drag people into Kamui and then pretend to be a God who takes 'Protagonists' to another world...
And the more he thought about it, the more excited he became... Was it strange to feel excited about something like this?
Maybe it really was, but it didn't matter.
Not now, but it was quite possible that in the near future, he would actually do something like that...
...
[-4,000 AP!]
Zaydas gained control over the flow of time in this dimension.
No, he wasn't going to leave for now—he had barely experienced what this world had to offer. However, even though he had changed so many things in such a short time, he still intended to have some connection with this dimension and didn't want to leave for a few days only to return and find that years had passed.

The next morning, Zaydas met with Team 8.
Hinata and Kurenai were as beautiful as ever.
"Good morning." He greeted them with a friendly smile.
Smiling gently, Hinata replied, "Good morning."
Shino said something, but it was too quiet, and it seemed appropriate to just ignore him.
Then, he heard Kurenai say, "Good morning to you too, Zaydas. Today will be our first mission as a team."
"Mm, I'll try my best not to be a burden!" Zaydas exclaimed exaggeratedly.
However, Kurenai didn't seem to understand the sarcasm and even nodded in satisfaction.
Honestly, if he really tried his best, they could just sit down and drink tea while he handled everything...
...
In the Hokage's office, they stood before Tsunade, with Shizune by her side.
'They're really huge...'
Even bigger than Rias, Akeno, and Grayfia's.
However, he wasn't so disrespectful as to only stare at her breasts, so he looked at her face instead, which, to be fair, even though he knew she maintained that appearance through techniques, she really was...
"Is there something on my face?" Tsunade asked, looking at him.
"Actually, I was just surprised by how beautiful you are," Zaydas said sincerely.
"Hahaha!" Tsunade laughed, but her eyes sharpened. "You're way too green to try anything with me. And I have no interest in brats, even if they're good-looking~!"
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just stating a fact, though." Zaydas shrugged.
"..."
Everyone looked at him as if he were an alien.
It was as if their eyes were saying, 'That's the Fifth Hokage!'
However, Zaydas wasn't affected by their gazes and continued smiling casually.
Sighing, Tsunade handed a folder to Kurenai.
