I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Feeling the strong force on his shoulder, Yun Ting finally understood who Tsunade learned to pat shoulders from.

Then, just as he was about to say something, he noticed that Hashirama Senju's gaze kept drifting towards Madara, who was lying on the ground to the side.

Realizing what was happening, he said, "Time is running out. You should say goodbye to Ban first."

As he spoke, Yun Ting bent down and placed his hand on Madara's body, transmitting chakra full of life force to revive him.

"Thank you, Yunting!" Hashirama Senju said gratefully.

At other times, he would love to have a good chat with his grandson-in-law, who is now the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

But now, as Ban lay dying, he still wanted to say a final goodbye to this person he had known for almost his entire life.

Soon after Yun Ting took the initiative to leave.

Madara slowly opened his eyes and managed to say, "Hashirama?"

"Madara!" Hashirama Senju, who was kneeling on the ground, responded.

"Hashirama..." Madara turned his head with difficulty to look at his old acquaintance, and began to speak with a complicated expression.

This time, nothing unexpected interrupted their conversation as they met again after decades.

Yun Ting was far away, and since he hadn't made a point of listening to Madara and Hashirama's conversation, he didn't know what they were saying.

However, when Yun Ting saw Hashirama Senju get up again, he heard the former's farewell words on his way back.

"Ban, once we return to the Underworld, we'll both be dead, and there will be no more enemies or foes. Let's have a good drink together then."

"......it is good."

Ban's voice, already barely audible, finally rang out.

Chapter 316 Devouring the Rinnegan

"Sorry for the delay. Yun Ting, I'll leave the rest to you." Hashirama Senju stood up and said to Yun Ting.

Yun Ting, who had returned to the front, glanced at the lifeless Madara and nodded, saying, "With the Impure World Reincarnation technique at work, Madara's corpse must be properly disposed of. Grandfather, please wait a moment."

After some explanation, with Hashirama Senju nodding, Yun Ting turned his gaze to Madara and reactivated the Takamagahara Child Technique, which had already cooled down.

In an instant, he and Ban disappeared.

Looking at the empty space before him, Hashirama Senju sighed, "Another pair of Rinnegan. My grandson-in-law has surpassed me and Madara, and is far ahead of us. The only targets left are mythical figures like the Sage of Six Paths."

……

In Gaotianyuan.

Upon returning to this place, Yun Ting had a single thought, and the previously cratered ground was quickly repaired.

He reached out again and made Wu, who had been shattered by the collision of True Thousand Hands and Earth Explosion Star, reassemble him, making him a statue just like before.

As for the meteorites attracted by the Bantianai Zhenxing, Yun Ting did not discard them, but planned to retrieve them all after returning to Konoha to forge weapons.

Meteorites capable of traversing the endless void are undoubtedly excellent forging materials.

After finishing all this in a short time, Yun Ting turned his gaze back to Ban's corpse.

Bringing him here, aside from what I just told Hashirama Senju, is to prevent someone with the Impure World Reincarnation technique from summoning him back in the future and causing trouble.

He likely had his own plans.

Instead of transforming it into a guardian puppet of Takamagahara like Wu, it was used for another purpose.

At this moment, Yun Ting touched his Rinnegan.

He possesses three unique Rinnegan techniques.

Aside from Takamagahara and the armor, the last one, the Child Technique, was the ability he believed had the greatest potential when he first awakened the Rinnegan.

reincarnation.

This is the name of Yun Ting's third child technique, and it is also an ability that has never been named directly after the "reincarnation" of the Rinnegan before among all Rinnegan child techniques.

The Child Technique called Reincarnation does not have the ability to be directly linked to combat power like the Takamagahara and the Armored Armor.

It has only one ability.

That is to devour everything belonging to those who possess the Rinnegan and make it their own.

This means that anyone who possesses the Rinnegan is its target.

Reincarnation, reincarnation.

Its true meaning is to allow other Rinnegan eyes to enter the true cycle of reincarnation, while leaving only one pair of Rinnegan eyes in the entire universe.

So domineering.

If the person who possesses this Childhood Technique is of average strength among those who possess the Rinnegan, they probably will never be able to use this technique in their entire life.

But Yunting is different.

Right now, there just happens to be a pair of Rinnegan eyes for me to devour.

"Now let me experience the effects of 'reincarnation,' and hopefully it will live up to my expectations."

Yun Ting, who also only had a vague understanding of the specifics of his final childlike technique, released it for the first time with great curiosity.

Reincarnation!

With his gaze fixed on Madara's corpse, Yun Ting's purple Rinnegan erupted with a strange light.

It's hard to explain.

Only those who possess the Rinnegan or have Six Paths level strength can see clearly that this strange light is flowing from Yun Ting's Rinnegan, enveloping Madara, who is the target.

Soon, Madara's body, except for the Rinnegan, turned into a stream of light.

After the two Rinnegan eyes merged into each other, the two Rinnegan eyes, whose eyeballs were already covered by the purple vortex, quickly merged and combined into a closed flower.

The closed petals then unfolded one by one.

Finally, a purple fruit the size of a pill appeared before Yun Ting.

"This is somewhat similar to the method that Daitsuki used to devour his own kind and transform them into chakra fruits. However, this method has limitations; it seems to be usable only by his own protectors. But his Childhood Technique: Rinnegan is applicable to all Rinnegan users."

As Yun Ting pondered this, he reached out and summoned the purple fruit that had transformed from Ban's purple fruit under the Child Reincarnation Technique, nourished by Ban's essence, and it flew into his palm.

Without hesitation, Yun Ting swallowed it in one gulp.

moment!

It was as if a purple sun had exploded within Yun Ting's body.

Pure energy, as vast as the ocean, burst forth from within the purple elixir, cleansing and evolving all of Yun Ting's organs.

Moreover, a tremendous surge of childlike power was poured into Yun Ting's Samsara Eye at this moment, causing it to evolve to a higher level.

What are the specific effects?

This can be understood simply by looking at the rapidly expanding floating islands that are currently facing the outside world.

The size of the space created by Tong Shu Gao Tianyuan is linked to Yun Ting's Rinnegan Tong Power.

Now that the Rinnegan of the Cloud Court has greatly increased its power after consuming the fruit transformed from the Madara Rinnegan, the area of ​​Takamagahara has naturally expanded rapidly as well.

In the end, the floating island expanded to half its original size before finally stopping.

At this moment, Yun Ting opened his eyes again. Although the color and shape of the Rinnegan inside were still the same, it looked much more dazzling than before.

Just one glance is enough to make one feel as if they are trapped in a powerful illusion.

But it's not over yet.

As Yun Ting felt the new energy flowing through his body, his gaze sharpened, and a massive burst of chakra erupted from him.

Immediately afterward, under his control, the seven natures of chakra—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, yin, and yang—condensed and rapidly merged around his body, forming a constantly writhing, irregularly shaped black sphere.

Yun Ting tried to maintain it, but even with all his might, he could only sustain it for a few breaths.

Finally, with a loud "bang," the restless black sphere vanished into nothingness.

"We're just one step away from success."

Yun Ting sighed softly after his unsuccessful attempt to condense the Seeking Jade.

The effects of the Child Reincarnation Technique are extremely powerful.

It not only significantly enhanced his physique, chakra, and the strength of his Rinnegan.

After absorbing Madara's Rinnegan, he even mastered one of Madara's unique Rinnegan techniques, Tenai Zhenxing.

Great, now I can summon meteorites to play with too.

Furthermore, within the purple fruit that Madara transformed into, he absorbed all of the other's accumulated knowledge about chakra and techniques.

Thus, combined with the legacy of Uchiha Madara, and with his power nearing its final peak, Yun Ting, who had almost perfect mastery of the seven chakra natures, wanted to try to condense Truth-Seeking Balls and activate Six Paths Mode.

Unfortunately, even with the added benefit of two pairs of Rinnegan, they still fell just short of success.

Although Madara Uchiha was powerful, he was ultimately only below the Six Paths level, not even as good as himself.

If the person I just devoured was a genuine Great Wood wielder, I could have activated the Six Paths Mode in one step.

After thinking this, Yun Ting shook his head again.

If it were to encounter a true master of the Great Wood Realm, it would probably have no chance of being devoured at all.

Fortunately, although this attempt failed, it pointed out the path to the Six Paths level for Yun Ting.

In this world, there were originally two ways to transcend the levels of life and reach the Six Paths level.

One type is from the Dajianmu clan. In this world where bloodlines are fundamentally the deciding factor, the Dajianmu are undoubtedly among the most elite bloodlines in the entire universe.

For them, reaching the Six Paths level is merely a matter of time.

For Yun Ting, although the Thousand Hands originated from the Great Simple Wood, as a multi-generational hybrid, he no longer had the advantage of being able to advance to the Six Paths level without any obstacles.

Another way is to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Yun Ting can now easily capture all nine tailed beasts.

However, he always suspected that the Ten-Tails and Kaguya had become one, and feared that Kaguya might suddenly take over his body at some point in the future. Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to take that risk.

Especially now that a new third approach has emerged.
