Although this state of weakness is only temporary, according to Akira Hatake's estimate, it would take about three years for his life energy to once again meet the needs of a sixth-level life form.

Three years is neither a short nor a long time, but Akira Hatake felt it was acceptable.

However, when the news of Akira Hatake's recovery reached Minato Namikaze's ears, he still chose to rush to the Hatake residence as soon as possible.

"Ming, what exactly is wrong with your body?"

Upon entering, Minato Namikaze went straight to the bed where Akira Hatake was lying, and got straight to the point with a hint of worry.

"Teacher, I feel great."

Akira Hatake's voice was still very weak, as if a gust of wind could carry him away, "Better than ever before."

The combination of his confident words and Akira Hatake's gaunt and emaciated physique creates a somewhat comical visual impact; those unaware of the situation would definitely think he's talking nonsense.

But the fact is...

To demonstrate his physical condition, Akira Hatake snapped his fingers with one hand.

Snapped!

boom!

A relatively soft snap of the fingers was heard, followed by a circular air wave that erupted from the tip of Hatake Akira's finger!

call……

A gentle gust of air brushed against Minato Namikaze's cheek, blowing his blond hair askew and squinting his eyes.

"How...how did you do that?!"

Akira Hatake's strange physical condition made Minato Namikaze's eyes widen; he had never seen such a contradictory physical state before.

"It wasn't done intentionally, but rather it's a manifestation of the essential differences in life."

Akira Hatake spoke in a calm tone, trying his best to hide his excitement.

As long as Akira Hatake follows the steps, he can steadily advance to the Sixth Path level in three years. How could he not be excited about such a good thing?

"The essential difference in life?"

Minato Namikaze tilted his head, his face full of question marks. "What kind of difference could make you look extremely weak while possessing berserk power in every move you make?"

"Teacher, give me an example."

"If a person who is about to die is faced with a reptile, will he still crush it with a single finger, just like before?"

"The answer is yes. No matter how weak the human body is, when faced with reptiles whose life essence is far inferior to its own, humans still possess an extreme sense of oppression and destructive power."

"You mean..." Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, "that your life essence... has now evolved to a level that surpasses the essence of human life?"

"Yes, teacher."

Akira Hatake nodded. "It may sound unbelievable, but it's the truth."

He clenched his fist slightly. "Don't let my current extremely weak state fool you. If anyone were to attack me, I could kill them in a matter of minutes if I wanted to!"

"Nobody's going to lay a hand on you."

Minato Namikaze glared at Akira Hatake. "I'm relieved you're alright. Just rest and recover."

“Oh, right, Akira.” Minato Namikaze seemed to remember something. “I remember you regained consciousness several times while you were unconscious, but…”

After a pause, Minato Namikaze was about to say directly, "I've seen you produce some...divine artifacts out of thin air several times."

"Is that so..."

Akira scratched his head, trying to brush it off, "I forgot what happened while I was unconscious..."

"Everyone has secrets, and I shouldn't have asked."

Minato Namikaze chuckled lightly, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Whatever happened, as long as it's beneficial to you and Konoha, there's no need to investigate anything further."

"Teacher, I..."

"Alright, Ming, I believe you will tell me when you want to."

Minato Namikaze smiled broadly and patted Akira Hatake on the shoulder. "Get some rest. I'll wait for you to fully recover."

"When that day comes, I believe the ninja world will also be in the time for a major transformation."

"Will do!"

Akira Hatake nodded firmly to Minato Namikaze, "When the time comes, no one will be able to stop us from unifying the ninja world!"

"Ha, I believe you."

Minato Namikaze answered.

"Oh, right, teacher."

Then, Akira Hatake started a new topic.

"what happened?"

Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, sensing that what Akira Hatake was about to say was very important.

"Aren't you going to ask me what exactly caused my life essence to evolve?"

“I don’t need to ask you to tell me, isn’t this how it is now?” Minato Namikaze chuckled. “Then tell me.”

"I met a member of the Uzumaki clan whose eyes possess the Rinnegan!"

"Reincarnation Eye?!"

Minato Namikaze froze, then seemed to remember something, "His name..."

"Nagato the Whirlpool".

"I know who you're talking about..."

Minato Namikaze sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, the person you're talking about has a deep connection with Jiraiya-sensei."

Akira Hatake naturally knew what Minato Namikaze was talking about, but he still showed a hint of doubt at the right time.

Pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth is a skill that Akira Hatake is a master of.

"Master?" Akira Hatake frowned. "What is the relationship between Nagato Uzumaki and Jiraiya's master?"

"That's a long story..."

Minato Namikaze told Akira Hatake everything he knew, bit by bit, and Akira Hatake acted as a dutiful listener.

After talking for a while, Minato Namikaze told Akira Hatake everything he knew about Raiya and Nagato Uzumaki.

"So... Nagato Uzumaki, who attacked me, is technically my senior apprentice-uncle?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be him."

“This…” Akira Hatake drawled, “But I’ve already killed him…”

After saying that, Hatake Akira raised his arm, and a water-like ripple suddenly erupted in the air, from which a sealing scroll fell out.

After the battle with Nagato Uzumaki and Obito Uchiha, Akira Hatake sealed Nagato's head in a sealing scroll and placed the scroll in a crevice within the spatial barrier.

Akira Hatake certainly didn't want his spoils to be taken by Black Zetsu hiding in the shadows, and the gaps in the spatial barrier were undoubtedly the best way to store his items.

Reaching out to catch the falling sealing scroll, without even seeing Akira Hatake form any hand seals, Akira Hatake retrieved Nagato's sealed head from the sealing scroll.

"It must be him... red hair, purple Rinnegan."

Looking at the severed head in Akira Hatake's hand, Minato Namikaze was filled with mixed emotions. "He is the senior brother in name only whom I have never met."

"Teacher...I..."

"Killing you is fine, as long as you're alright, everything is acceptable."

Minato Namikaze had absolutely no feelings for Nagato Uzumaki.

Tragic scenes of masters and disciples killing each other are common in the ninja world, let alone a senior brother whom he has never met and is only nominally his senior brother. Minato Namikaze's coldness towards him is naturally understandable.

Nodding, Akira Hatake pointed to Nagato's eyes. "Teacher, what do you plan to do with these Rinnegan?"

"What are your thoughts?"

Minato Namikaze instead asked Akira Hatake for his thoughts, "You killed Nagato Uzumaki, so you have the right to dispose of these Rinnegan eyes as you see fit."

As for the Rinnegan, it's estimated that anyone who knows the origin of these eyes would find it hard to resist the temptation of possessing them.

Akira Hatake was like that before, and it's likely that Minato Namikaze is doing the same now.

“Teacher, I think… these eyes could be transplanted to your wife, or to your unborn child.”

The reason why Akira Hatake said this is because of Naruto Uzumaki, the chosen one of this world.

If nothing unexpected happens, Naruto Uzumaki will still be the reincarnation of Ashura, and will still possess Ashura's chakra within him.

If Naruto Uzumaki had the Rinnegan, and combined it with Ashura's chakra, then...

Naruto at the Six Paths level with the Rinnegan is just around the corner!

"Leave it for the children."

After thinking for a moment, Minato Namikaze gave his answer: "I've already discussed it with Kushina. After the child is born, we will seal the Nine-Tails into the child's body, which will be a good foundation for him."

good?

Akira Hatake curled his lip. Being born with the Nine-Tails' chakra cheat code, this kind of start is already considered a perfect one.

Without offering any further comments, Akira Hatake nodded.

After all, everyone looks out for themselves, so Minato Namikaze's actions are understandable.

It's just paving the way for their own children; I believe any parent who has achieved a certain level of success would do the same.

If Akira Hatake had children in the future, he might have gone even further than Minato Namikaze.

He deftly dug out the pair of Rinnegan eyes, placed them in a saline solution bottle, and then resealed the Rinnegan eyes into the sealing scroll.

"Teacher, for some reason, I can't give you these eyes right now."

Akira Hatake spoke in a very solemn tone, and at the same time took out a sealed scroll from the gap in the spatial barrier.

Without forming any hand seals, Akira Hatake took a humanoid creature out of the sealing scroll and casually tossed it onto the floor.

"This is……"

Minato Namikaze pointed to the White Zetsu spore clone, which was covered in the seal mark, with a surprised expression on his face. "Is this also your spoils of war?"
