Narration...
Countless streams of information expressed in countless forms surged in like a tsunami, as if they were about to instantly fill this suddenly emptied mind.
Yet despite the sudden, savage influx of that vast torrent of information, there was no pain on Chiba's face. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, and the brows that had instinctively furrowed from the sudden flood of information gradually relaxed.
This is good...
Whether he could make the best use of this second chance would depend on him, who possessed everything I possessed and everything I did not.
Whether he lived...
Or died...
It no longer mattered.
At last... I could be free.
At that moment, as "Chiba" watched Chiba's brows relax, his gloomy expression slowly eased as well, and a smile unknowingly appeared at the corner of his lips.
A smile of liberation.
At that very moment, still wearing that liberated expression, his skin slowly turned to mist. Within a single breath, his entire body had reverted to a human form made of fog.
Then, the humanoid mist, still smiling in liberation, drifted upward as though carried away by the wind while maintaining its standing posture, merging into the body of the young man standing before it.
It seemed everything was progressing quite smoothly.
For this child named... no, now called Taki Chiba.
Elsewhere, the spiritual body of the Sage of Six Paths raised the right hand resting on his crossed legs and gently stroked his gray-white beard. An inscrutable look flashed through his Rinnegan.
At this time, he had already turned around and floated before the metallic-colored door now covered in cracks. In his Rinnegan vision, the densely packed, complex formulas shaped like a door were beginning to collapse.
I never expected this day to come so quickly.
