The One-Eyed Rinnegan

The One-Eyed Rinnegan

"Sealing Jutsu is an excellent way to deal with Tailed Beasts."

"Among them, the Uzumaki Clan excelled at this art."

"This is the second key focus of my training. Whether or not it can effectively suppress a purely physical creature like Clover, I should learn it anyway. Besides... some seals formed from Kekkei Genkai aren't lacking in offensive power."

Organs were Kekkei Genkai.

Like Fang Xiu's Sharingan, the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku, or the Kekkei Genkai of Sakon and Ukon.

At this moment, he was considering the second type of Kekkei Genkai: combining Chakra Nature Transformations to create a new Release.

In the Naruto World, very few ninja could develop such techniques. Once successful, the new Release would be recorded in their genes and passed down to their children through blood ties! Scorch Release: Fire + Wind. Its best-known user was Pakura of Sunagakure, and its signature technique was Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder.

Boil Release: Fire + Water. Its known users included the Five-Tails Kokuō, Han, Uzumaki Naruto, and Terumi Mei. It could produce high-temperature steam, which could be released to increase the lethality of acid, or used to enhance physical strength.

Lava Release: Fire + Earth! Fang Xiu had once used an incomplete form of this Kekkei Genkai during his battle with the corpse-dissection immortal Yanxu Daoji. He had entered Earth Release Sage Mode, and his Fire Release Chakra wasn't potent enough, so the transformation into magma had been incomplete.

"Ice Release, a combination of Wind and Water, might be one answer..."

"Besides, there's Sage Art: Magnet Release Rasengan. Although I don't have Shukaku's help, I can create a large number of Wood Release Clones and deeply develop Wind and Lightning. I may not master them completely, but I should be able to develop some combat ability before the trial."

As he murmured to himself, Fang Xiu began asking the Main God about the requirements for purchasing the known sealing techniques in the Naruto World.

After all, if there was a shortcut with such a good cost-benefit ratio, he might as well take it. That would leave him more energy to perfect Sage Mode.

If that didn't work, he could try developing techniques himself...

"Sealing Jutsu doesn't only work on Chakra. Powerful techniques can restrict an opponent's body or soul."

"Right, I can see if the Main God sells the Totsuka Blade. It's a legendary weapon wielded by Uchiha Itachi. Anyone struck by it is 'permanently' sealed inside a world of drunken dreams. Orochimaru, Nagato, and others had all fallen victim to it."

The thought flashed through his mind, and a response appeared before him—

Planetary Devastation: The wielder of the Rinnegan condenses Chakra into a highly compressed black sphere between their hands. Once the sphere floats into the air, it automatically draws in everything within an enormous area!

"..." Fang Xiu was speechless.

This Sealing Jutsu was free.

But the eye cost money! To be fair, the Main God did sell them individually, but each one cost an A-rank side-quest reward and 9,000 reward points. Fang Xiu felt deeply ashamed.

It was a great item, but he was broke.

The sealing technique Planetary Devastation was also excellent.

Its enhanced version, "Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei," had once sealed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, creating a moon in the process.

—Attention!—

Captain Fang Xiu of the Shazhou Team possesses Indra's power and Asura's power. The cost of the exchange has been reduced accordingly. Please check again!

The message abruptly flashed through his mind.

For a moment, the Great Light Sphere floating above the central plaza seemed to take on a physical form. Fang Xiu felt as if it were a salesperson running a huge sale.

Of course, after a moment's thought, it made sense. It was exactly what he would have expected.

Ordinary Reincarnators had no Ōtsutsuki bloodline. Exchanging for a single Rinnegan cost one A-rank side-quest reward and 9,000 reward points.

But for someone with a direct bloodline, already close to awakening the highest level of ocular power, spending that much would be pointless duplication—a waste, wouldn't it?

Once again, the facts proved that this generation of the mysterious Main God had closed a great many loopholes, while also improving many other aspects.

"Two B-rank side-quest rewards plus 6,000 reward points... That's tempting."

"Even evolving just one eye would cause a leap in my life level."

For a ninja, the conditions for awakening the Rinnegan were extremely harsh. Only a reincarnation of Indra's Chakra could awaken it, and only by implanting the body or cells of a reincarnation of Asura's Chakra.

The process was also incredibly slow.

Generally speaking, only the Six Paths Sage Chakra granted by the Sage of Six Paths could accelerate the awakening.

In addition, anyone who obtained these eyes would automatically master the five Chakra Nature Transformations. Their proficiency would reach the pinnacle, eliminating the need to spend years painstakingly training.

They could also step into the realm of Yin and Yang.

They could become a god of creation, capable of creating worlds, or a god of destruction, capable of destroying them! There was no denying that Fang Xiu couldn't reach that level all at once. The Rinnegan also came in different levels, and the example of Uzumaki Nagato proved one thing—

If one's physical strength, represented by Yang Release, hadn't reached the Six Paths level, the Rinnegan's power would be diminished. Forcing a burst of power would mean killing the enemy at the cost of a thousand soldiers, while losing eight hundred of one's own and damaging one's life force.

During the Shinobi World War, Obito Uchiha had been closest to Fang Xiu's current state. Even with both Uchiha and Senju blood, he had only been able to implant a single Rinnegan.

Part of the reason was that he didn't want to give up the Kamui Dimension. He was also most likely worried he wouldn't have enough stamina to sustain it.

"I won't consider the other options."

"I'll just strengthen my right eye."

He answered with a thought.

To be honest, once the not-so-greedy Main God had offered him a reasonable price, he had already made up his mind. The thoughts that continued to drift through his mind were simply a way of reinforcing his resolve and pushing himself to make the decision.

Naruto was also known as the legend of the eyes! Genjutsu and Sealing Jutsu were already under consideration, and the Chakra training he had regarded as his third decision would also improve tremendously as his ocular power grew.

"In essence, everything leads back to Kekkei Mōra."

"The path I chose before was to strengthen the branches, improve my combat ability in certain areas, and gradually nourish the roots until I reached the source."

"Strengthening the roots directly would be simpler and more efficient. Even if my body would be strained... I can find a way to deal with that."

His thoughts came to a halt. A column of light far more magnificent than the ones that had enveloped the other members of the Shazhou Team descended. Fang Xiu floated into the air, his eyes closed as he felt the five basic elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning—as well as Yin and Yang, circulating in an orderly fashion through his body.

He'd gotten Wind Release for free! From now on, he'd be a ninja with every nature!

Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, Fang Xiu had possessed Fire, Earth, and Lightning Chakra. When he awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai through Hashirama Cells, he had also gained an affinity for Water Release.

Now, Wind Release had been added for free. He didn't need to spend an extra side-quest reward to obtain it, and the hidden benefits this brought were all the more substantial:

Combined with Fire, with Water, or with Earth and Fire, it could create Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World...

Just got off work. I'll post another chapter later.

After thinking it over, I decided there was no need to add too many flashy tricks. Evolving the eye was better. Even improving just one would make my strength surge, and other aspects would grow stronger along with it.
