I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 531 The Rinnegan, obtained!

These are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths...

Nara Rinka gazed at the pair of purple Rinnegan eyes floating quietly in the specially made glass container, her gaze slightly unfocused.

Although he had been plotting to obtain Nagato's Rinnegan for some time.

But when he actually got his hands on those "immortal eyes," Nara Rinka felt quite emotional.

In any case.

These eyes have fallen into his hands!

Nara Rinkachi possessed the Rinnegan.

This means that Black Zetsu has lost the Rinnegan.

Without the Rinnegan, one cannot summon the Gedo Mazo or collect the chakra of the Tailed Beasts.

Furthermore, it is impossible to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to summon the goddess of the rabbit from the moon to the present world!

The "nuclear button" for the Fourth Shinobi World War is now in Nara Rinka's hands!

Previously, whether it was killing Uchiha Madara or becoming the Fourth Hokage, Nara Rankei's sense of urgency never dissipated.

Because he knew that people like Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and even Danzo Shimura were insignificant in front of truly "important people".

In the ninja world, what is an "important person"?

The Otsutsuki family!

Princess Kaguya, the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu, Ashura and Indra.

There are only these six people, not one more.

And the core hub that connects these important people is this Twin Eyes!

After all, the Byakugan and the Tenseigan behind it have such a weak presence...

Now, Nara Rinkachi has successfully dug out the Rinnegan, and he did so right in front of Black Zetsu.

Suddenly, his heart felt at peace.

Nara Rinkazu believes that he no longer needs to pay attention to Black Zetsu's whereabouts.

Because the Rinnegan is in the hands of Nara Rinka.

Black Zetsu's "plan to save his mother" was aborted before it could even begin.

With no need to worry about Black Zetsu, who is a filial son, who else in the ninja world is worth Nara Rin's attention?

Under normal circumstances, a Kage (A) rank ninja is the ceiling of a ninja village's strength.

The Super Shadow (S) class is a terrifying figure that only appears once every few decades.

What about Sage (SS) level, Six Paths (SSS) level...?

Most of these guys, each stronger and more outrageous than the last, suddenly "popped up" during the nights of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Give the simplest example.

Naruto Uzumaki.

Pain's invasion, the Five Kage Summit, and the Fourth Shinobi World War.

How short were the time intervals between these three major events?

When Naruto Uzumaki returned from his Sage Mode training at Mount Myōboku, his increased strength was almost entirely due to external advantages, primarily those he acquired on the battlefield.

It's only been a few days?

The celestial cry transforms into the golden cry, the golden cry transforms into the celestial fox, and the celestial fox transforms into the Six Paths.

This is the speed at which the true Child of Prophecy's power increases!

Now that the Fourth War can't be fought, the old man of Pure Land can no longer sell his magic.

Nara Rinka has no need to worry about a peerless expert suddenly popping out from a crack in the rocks one day.

Leaving aside the Six Paths Sages of Pure Land.

Let's also leave aside the "millennial demons" like the Live Slug Immortal, the Giant Toad Immortal, and the White Snake Immortal.

Nara Rinka is currently the top-ranking ninja in terms of strength!

The best evidence is the salamander Hanzo who was killed instantly by a single [Kirin] attack.

Hanzo the Salamander is considered a veteran Kage-level shinobi.

However, he still couldn't withstand the power of an S-rank ninjutsu attack.

In fact, it's not just Hanzo the Salamander; most normal Kage-level ninjas can't withstand the attack of an S-rank ninjutsu.

[Wind Release: Rasengan], [Kirin], [Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals], [Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique], [Night Guy]...

These ninjutsu techniques are beyond the capabilities of any normal human being.

Nowadays, Nara Rinkei not only possesses extremely strong chakra, but also has extremely profound knowledge of ninjutsu, with all sorts of S-rank ninjutsu appearing one after another.

Even among those at the Shadow level, this overall strength is terrifyingly formidable.

The "nuclear button" of World War IV was once again in the hands of Nara Rinka.

He is now truly at ease.

If Black Zetsu is still not giving up and wants to continue pushing forward with his "plan to save his mother".

Alternatively, it could take the Rinnegan from Nara Rinkazu.

Alternatively, it could use its long lifespan to "cultivate" another pair of Rinnegan.

Actually, while "creating" the Rinnegan sounds exaggerated, the principle behind it is not complicated.

All it takes is for the chakra of Ashura and Indra to merge into one, and to guide (resonate) the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths from the Pure Land, to create the Rinnegan.

That's right!

There is no such thing as the Rinnegan in the world.

Or rather, every pair of Rinnegan is actually a copy of the Sage of Six Paths' eyes!

As for whether the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan is a "knock-off" of Kaguya Otsutsuki's...

I'm not so sure about Nara Rangsuke.

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki is an alien, her innate eyes are not the Rinnegan, but the Byakugan.

To put it more clearly.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki, the Otsutsuki clan, the Hyuga clan... this is the alien race that is of the same lineage.

The Sage of Six Paths, Ashura, Indra... these are the mutated beings born after Princess Kaguya ate the fruit of the Divine Tree.

however.

The principle behind creating the Rinnegan is simple, but the actual operation is quite complex.

Even setting aside the difficulty Black Zetsu faced in finding the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra.

The last ninja to synthesize the Rinnegan was Madara Uchiha!

Moreover, Madara Uchiha only synthesized the Sage's Eyes right before he died!

Furthermore.

The owner of the other chakra that merged with Madara Uchiha's chakra and channeled the power of the Sage of Six Paths was Hashirama Senju.

If you put all the Indra reincarnations together, finding another reincarnation of similar level to Madara Uchiha shouldn't be too difficult.

However, if you put all the Ashura reincarnations together, you absolutely cannot find one who can compare to Hashirama Senju!

Just like the formula that Nara Rinka summarized before.

A normal Ashura reincarnation: with the power of the Nine-Tails, they join forces to fight against the Indra reincarnation.

The unusual Hashirama Senju: He brutally beat up Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of Indra, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

A simple calculation shows that Hashirama Senju was at least two Nine-Tails stronger than a normal Ashura reincarnation!

Two nine-tailed foxes!

How can other Asura reincarnations compare to the Great Pillar?

Even Naruto Uzumaki won't do!

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hashirama Senju made the following assessment of Naruto Uzumaki's chakra level, who fought alongside him.

Roughly translated, it can be understood as:

Hashirama Senju is essentially "seventeen-year-old Naruto Uzumaki (his true form)" plus "half of the Nine-Tails (Yang Nine-Tails)".

That's outrageous.

If Black Zetsu wanted to recreate a pair of Rinnegan...

Nara Langui didn't mind at all.

He only needs to keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha occasionally.

These two mischievous kids haven't been born yet.

Even though there's currently a near-adult version of Naruto in Konoha...

If Black Zetsu wanted to steal the Rinnegan from Nara Rinka.

Nara Rinka thought for a moment, bit her finger, and then unleashed the attack—

"Spiritual communication!"

A moment later.

A soft slug carried the Rinnegan to Shikkotsu Forest.

For Nara Rinka, there is no need to launch a "scientific research project" to develop the Rinnegan at present.

This thing is a genuine Celestial Eye, involving extremely complex bloodlines and bloodline networks.

These topics are far too advanced for Nara Rangsei at present.

We simply can't afford to play this game.

Considering the special abilities of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, there is no absolutely safe place to be found in Konoha Village.

Nara Rinka simply handed the Rinnegan over to the Living Slug Sage.

It's much safer to let the Slug Sage keep the Rinnegan than to let Chunin or Jonin keep it!

If Nara Rinka needs to research the Rinnegan in the future, he can simply have the Living Slug Sage reverse-summon him to Shikkotsu Forest.

Safe and easy to use.

Nara is very reassured.

of course.

He didn't let the fact that he had obtained the Rinnegan make him forget about Zetsu's earlier escape.

White Zetsu's [Mayfly Technique] is indeed a difficult ninjutsu to deal with.

However, Nara Rinkaku is not entirely without a solution.

As the famous saying goes: use magic to fight magic.

To counter the "Mayfly Technique," Nara Rinka can also utilize the "Mayfly Technique."

The effect of his own use of the "Mayfly Technique" was not very good.

This ninjutsu does indeed require a certain level of "physiological talent".

The plant-like life characteristics that the 100,000 White Zetsu possess "innate" are something that ordinary people cannot obtain.

But who could blame them when Nara Rinka also mastered the Wood Release technique?

Under Nara Rinka's manipulation, a [Wooden Clone] was created and quickly burrowed underground, using the [Mayfly Technique] and wide-range sensory abilities to hunt down Zetsu.

Nara Rinka doesn't seek to capture White Zetsu or Black Zetsu.

But at least you need to know the other party's movements—even if it's just for show.

It appeared out of nowhere, only to be driven away by Nara Rinka at lightning speed, and then escaped underground.

The sudden turn of events caught the Akatsuki members completely off guard.

Nagato's eyes were gouged out, and he continued to wail in agony.

Yahiko and Konan vaguely realized that they seemed to have just been on the verge of death.

It must be said, that strange black and white creature was indeed quite terrifying...

But with Nagato growling in pain, Yahiko and Konan couldn't focus on anything else.

Even the group of Rain Village ninjas who scattered like birds and beasts were no longer of concern to Yahiko and Konan.

The two simply stayed by Nagato's side, comforting their dear friend who was suffering, and sending people quickly to find bandages and medicine.

Nara Rinkazu was distracted and created a shadow clone to treat Jiraiya who was poisoned.

The method is not difficult; the "method of extracting small ailments" should be able to solve the problem.

But seeing the panicked and distressed state of the Akatsuki members, he couldn't help but speak up.

"What are you crying about? Nagato is missing a pair of eyes, so go find him a new pair!"

Nara Rinkazu reminded him, quite puzzled.

"For ninjas, aren't eyes something that can be 'hot-swapped'?"

"Before Nagato's blood congeals, quickly find a new pair of eyes and put them back on him!"

Third update.

Good heavens, it's even later today than yesterday, it's already 7 o'clock...
