After many days, Shinji's "Rinnegan Plan" was back underway.
The Ōtsutsuki Indra chakra contained in Sasuke's Chakra flowed endlessly into Karin through Magatsu, the channel Shinji had opened.
The Yin-Yang fusion that had lain dormant inside Karin for some time began again. The "Power of All Things" was like seeds buried in the soil: once watered by the rain, they broke through the earth one after another and sent out tender shoots!
"It's starting."
Karin sat upright.
She was no longer the frightened girl who had once been planted in Konoha by Kusagakure and spent every day in constant fear.
With each step forward—receiving a transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan, fusing it into an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and receiving First Hokage cells—she had changed, both in strength and in mindset.
Her understanding of Yang Release Chakra and Yin Release Chakra now surpassed that of many powerful figures in the Shinobi World. Although she still couldn't fully master the nature transformation of Yin-Yang fusion, her body's instincts meant that as long as she received Ōtsutsuki Indra's Chakra, she could continuously produce the "Power of All Things."
The "Power of All Things" represented Yin-Yang Release. It surpassed the ordinary five elemental techniques—Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning—in both nature transformation and Chakra level. So its effect on Karin's body, and especially on the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in her eye sockets, was permanent.
This was a process of accumulation!
Once the stimulation of her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan by the "Power of All Things" reached a tipping point, the Rinnegan would awaken naturally.
"Yeah. I'll just have to make Sasuke suffer a little longer!"
In the apartment, Shinji seemed to have made up his mind.
He really needed this Rinnegan. Once he had it, the level of power he wielded would rise immediately.
That wouldn't just
