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

Chapter 532 Hot-swappable eye transplant!

Medical ninjutsu is indeed an extremely amazing ability.

On this side, Nara Rinka had just used the "Fine Ailment Extraction Technique" to completely remove the toxins from Jiraiya's body.

Meanwhile, Yahiko and Konan helped Nagato, who had lost his Rinnegan, regain another pair of eyes.

It also comes with a living "eye loader"—commonly known as a living person.

Perhaps it's to maintain the "freshness" of the eyes...

Originally, after hearing Nara Rinka's suggestion, Yahiko and Konan were prepared to offer their eyes voluntarily.

As Nagato's close friends and two of the original three leaders of Akatsuki, Yahiko and Konan indeed had a very deep bond with Nagato, and for this reason, both of them were willing to donate their eyes to Nagato.

Besides Yahiko and Konan, there were other ninjas in the Akatsuki organization who were also willing to give up their eyes for Nagato.

Finally, Nara Ranke offered another new suggestion—

There's no need for the eyes of Akatsuki leaders or members; the group of Amegakure ninjas who came with Hanzo the Salamander can also "restore Nagato's sight."

As a result, Yahiko and Konan quickly captured a Rain Village ninja.

Akatsuki is a "small organization" in the Land of Rain, and the quality of the ninjas within the organization varies greatly.

The Akatsuki organization was severely lacking in "specialized ninjas" like medical ninjas, who required extensive training in professional knowledge and skills.

Yahiko and Konan were worried that the medical ninjas within the Akatsuki organization would not be able to perform the "eye-gouging surgery" on Nagato properly, so they went to Nara Rangsuke to ask for help.

Out of a desire to help someone to the end, and also considering that he possessed the Rinnegan, Nara Rinkei installed Nagato's "new eyes" on him.

Yes, just a pair of ordinary brown eyes.

In the normal timeline, Rin Nohara was able to perform eye transplant surgery on Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.

Not to mention Nara Rin, whose medical ninjutsu skills far surpass those of Nohara Rin!

For Nara Rinka, replacing Nagato's eyes was no more difficult than gouging out his own.

This is clearly the second time Nagato has had his eyes replaced.

But this was the first time he had consciously realized that his eyes had been replaced.

How can I describe this feeling?

It's quite amazing.

Nara Rinka was also curious about Nagato's current state.

After Nagato finishes her brief adjustment period and opens her eyes to see the world.

Nara Rinkazu then took the initiative to ask.

"What's it like using the new glasses?"

Nagato looked at Nara Rinka with his new brown eyes—no longer the terrifying purple onion eyes of before—and then at his two close friends, his teacher, and the other Akatsuki members who had fought alongside him for many years.

Gradually, a relaxed smile appeared on Nagato's face.

"I don't feel anything special..."

Nagato moved his eyes a few times and shifted his body slightly.

"If I had to say, I feel like I've become more relaxed overall."

Feeling a bit more relaxed?

Nara Rinka nodded slightly in his heart; this was consistent with his understanding of the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan was not Nagato's innate eye, and he had no way to actively control the opening and closing of the Rinnegan that belonged to Madara Uchiha.

Nagato's Rinnegan was always in an "open" state, no matter when.

This state requires Nagato to constantly consume his own chakra!

The same situation can be applied to Kakashi Hatake, who received Obito Uchiha's left eye as a transplant.

The three-tomoe Sharingan can basically be considered the standard equipment for Uchiha Jonin.

From another perspective, only a Jonin of the Uchiha clan could withstand the drain on the Sharingan with three tomoe.

Thus, even the Uchiha Jonin couldn't keep his Sharingan active all day long; he would only activate it when he needed to fight.

Because keeping the Sharingan active consumes an extreme amount of chakra!

Even a genius ninja like Kakashi Hatake couldn't withstand the drain of the three-tomoe Sharingan, often appearing weak and frail.

Of course, it's also possible that he's watched too much "Make-Out Paradise"...

Let's get back to Nagato.

The Rinnegan is of a much higher grade than the regular Sharingan.

Its chakra consumption is far greater than that of the Sharingan.

Only a super chakra ninja like Nagato could withstand the daily consumption of the Rinnegan.

If it were an ordinary ninja, they would probably have been completely drained by the Rinnegan long ago.

Now, Nagato has lost his Rinnegan and has been replaced with a pair of new, ordinary eyes.

The chakra that was previously used to maintain the Rinnegan's active state has now all been converted into Nagato's own chakra, and is no longer being wasted needlessly.

It's understandable that Nagato would feel relieved.

"Besides being relaxed?"

Nara Rinkazu thought for a moment, then pressed for more information.

Do you ever have that feeling that "the Rinnegan is still in your eye socket"?

"Um?"

Nagato paused slightly, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Lord Hokage, what do you mean by this?"

Let me put it another way.

Nara Rinka thought for a moment and gave a simple example.

"Whether it's the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan, they are both famous clans with eyes, but both the Byakugan and the Sharingan require an 'activation' process before they can be used."

"Do you currently have a feeling, or an ability, that 'I can awaken the Rinnegan again'?"

Nara Rinkazu didn't ask this question for no reason.

He genuinely believed that Nagato had the potential to "regain the Rinnegan".

It's important to know that on the eve of the end of the Pain invasion, Nagato used the "Rinne Rebirth Technique" to revive all the Konoha ninjas who had died, and in doing so, he also declared himself dead.

However, after being resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the eyes of the Impure World Nagato were not ordinary eyes, but genuine Rinnegan!

Nagato was not the true owner of the Rinnegan; he only briefly possessed these Sage Eyes.

However, after being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Nagato not only retained the Rinnegan, but he was also able to unleash all of the Rinnegan's eye techniques!

This is outrageous...

Aside from Nagato, Madara Uchiha after being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique is another example of the same thing.

Before his death, he had already transplanted the Rinnegan to Nagato, and he also somehow acquired a left eye (Sharingan).

As a result of the Impure World Reincarnation, Madara Uchiha not only regained his youthful and healthy state, but also retained his Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Eternal Eye, and Rinnegan.

of course.

After being truly resurrected, Madara Uchiha lost both of his eyes again—not just the Rinnegan, but the Sharingan as well…

This is also a strange thing.

all in all.

According to the intelligence gathered by Nara Rinka, the Rinnegan does indeed possess extremely unique characteristics.

Upon hearing Nara Ranka's words, Nagato's expression became even more bewildered.

"Awakening the Rinnegan?"

Nagato closed his eyes, seemingly trying something, but his eyelids were twitching.

A moment later.

Nagato opened her eyes again and shook her head.

"No... I can't do it, and I can't find that feeling I had when I had the Rinnegan."

"What about eye techniques?"

Nara Rinka did not give up and raised another question.

"Have you mastered any special eye techniques related to the Rinnegan? You mean those special ninjutsu that can be activated just by looking at your eyes?"

Under normal circumstances, all of Nagato's abilities regarding the Rinnegan should have been taught to him "secretly" by Madara Uchiha.

This "secret" could be Zetsu, or it could be Obito Uchiha.

As for Madara Uchiha himself, it was impossible for him to appear in front of Nagato—he also lacked the ability to do so.

After transplanting the Rinnegan to Nagato, Madara Uchiha relied on the Gedo Mazo for sustenance and was not capable of long-distance travel.

The point at which Nagato began to fully and deeply master the Rinnegan's abilities should be after Yahiko's death.

Yahiko's death, Akatsuki's organizational restructuring, Zetsu and Obito Uchiha joining one after another...

This led to the birth of Pain and the other five Paths.

but.

Nagato himself was also quite talented in ninjutsu.

Over the years, if Nagato had somehow developed some special eye technique on his own...

Nara's attempt to capture the essence of the cassia tree is not entirely incomprehensible.

To his disappointment, Nagato simply shook his head.

It appears that Nagato did not master any of the Rinnegan's related eye techniques.

Or perhaps he had already tested it; with the loss of the Rinnegan and the installation of the new eye, he had completely lost his previous supernatural abilities.

In front of Nara Rinka, Nagato, now sporting a new pair of eyes, began a simple self-test.

Aside from losing his Rinnegan, Nagato's other abilities were unaffected.

Even the seven chakra nature transformations were not affected.

Right now, Nagato only has a healthy, unburdened body full of chakra.

Nara Ranka's evaluation is as follows:

New eye, hot-swappable.

Plug and play, promising a bright future.
