Rinne Sharingan

Staring at this strange eye, Lin Chuan was unable to calm down for a long time. This was the ultimate Dojutsu from Naruto, the one and only eye of the Progenitor of Chakra, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"But it seems different from Kaguya's eye. I remember hers was blood-red, the same color as the Sharingan, while mine is purple—closer to the color of an ordinary Rinnegan!" Lin Chuan murmured. Then he slowly deactivated his Byakugan, and the bulging veins around his eyes vanished.

"Although I've obtained the Rinne Sharingan, I have no way to activate it. Could it be because I haven't fully digested the Fruit of the God Tree?" Lin Chuan frowned, raising a hand to touch the space between his brows.

"Sure enough, stuff from Taobao is only a cheap imitation. A knockoff can't compare to the genuine article. Otsutsuki Kaguya ate the Fruit of the God Tree and activated the Rinne Sharingan right away, becoming the Progenitor of the Shinobi World. I can only look at mine—I can't use it!" Lin Chuan sighed. But then he thought about it: having it was better than not having it. Otherwise, with the abilities he'd gained after transmigrating into a blind man's body, he'd have almost no chance of surviving in this world.

"At least I have the Byakugan and the Tenseigan. Is that the consolation prize for being unable to use the Rinne Sharingan for now?"

The Byakugan greatly enhanced Taijutsu. Its 360-degree vision and ability to see through things could help him avoid many lethal dangers. As for the ultimate form, the Tenseigan, Lin Chuan didn't know why it had appeared in his body, but since it was there, he naturally had to make good use of both eyes' abilities.

In the original story, the Tenseigan appeared only rarely, and only Otsutsuki Toneri possessed it. Yet its power was undeniable—it held the power to destroy and create.

Though it didn't have as many complicated and powerful techniques as the Rinne Sharingan, just the six abilities displayed by the Tenseigan were enough to let Lin Chuan rise above all others.

After trying to use the Tenseigan, Lin Chuan discovered that it consumed a great deal of chakra, at least five times more than the Byakugan. He had been able to use it earlier because the mental energy in his body had surged after he was beaten. That was also why people in Naruto could unleash power beyond their usual limits when backed into a corner: chakra was a mixture of mental energy and physical energy.

"I can't absorb chakra as quickly as Otsutsuki Toneri, and my range isn't as great. It's best to absorb it at close range. As for activating Tenseigan Chakra Mode, summoning the stone statue, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and the rest, I can forget about them for now. There's no chance!"

Lin Chuan spent an hour testing things out and finally figured out what he could use at present. The Byakugan's abilities went without saying. As for the Tenseigan, the only thing he could currently do was absorb other people's chakra. Its other abilities were negligible: either he couldn't use them at all, or they consumed huge amounts of chakra for little effect. Still, it could enhance the Byakugan's existing abilities, letting him see farther—but the chakra cost was astonishing.

"I'll probably have to wait until I've completely digested that Fruit of the God Tree before I can activate the Rinne Sharingan. That gives me an idea." Lin Chuan's pale eyes suddenly narrowed. "The reason I can't absorb the fruit yet is entirely because this body can't withstand its power. In other words, as long as I keep growing stronger and my body keeps getting tougher, one day I'll be able to digest the fruit completely and activate the Rinne Sharingan."

Lin Chuan felt his guess was probably right. After resting briefly, he tried channeling the chakra he'd refined toward the Rinne Sharingan, still inactive in the middle of his forehead, to see what would happen.

"Wait... it seems..." The moment Lin Chuan's chakra flowed into his brow, a strange force suddenly surged out from it and streamed into his eyes. The next moment, Lin Chuan cried out.

"Sharingan!"

In an instant, the Byakugan vanished from his eyes, replaced by a pair of blood-red irises, each with a tomoe spinning within it.

"I get it!" Lin Chuan exclaimed delightedly. He shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, the Sharingan had disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes ringed with purple ripples.

"Rinnegan!"

"So that's how it works. Although I haven't activated the ultimate Dojutsu, the Rinne Sharingan, I can project the power of the eye on my forehead into my other eyes and use it there. It just doesn't function as the Rinne Sharingan—instead, it becomes two different pairs of eyes, the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. That means I can switch between three great Dojutsu."

"Other than the Rinne Sharingan, I can use the other three Dojutsu, as well as the Byakugan's advanced form, the Tenseigan." Lin Chuan murmured. "These four Dojutsu can't be combined. When I use one eye's abilities, I can't use the other three."

"The Rinnegan is geared toward ninjutsu, the Sharingan toward genjutsu, and the Byakugan toward Taijutsu. I've got all three of Naruto's main disciplines covered!" Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly. This would be his greatest asset in rising to power in this world.

Still, he didn't let success go to his head. Although he'd obtained the powerful three great Dojutsu and even the Tenseigan, his current strength was nowhere near enough to make full use of them. Otherwise, wouldn't Nagato have been invincible after having the Rinnegan transplanted into him as a child?

The night sky outside the window was dark. Lin Chuan should have been asleep, but he wasn't the least bit tired. He spent the whole night studying the four Dojutsu he'd obtained and didn't even notice when dawn broke the next day.

Creak!

Lin Chuan's door was pushed open again.

"Could it be those reckless brats again?" Lin Chuan looked up. His pale eyes looked especially eerie, but only the Byakugan in this state could be used without consuming chakra, so it was the only form he could show people.

"Ah... Lin Chuan, you..." The ones who entered weren't the four children from earlier, but a chubby boy and a girl. Since they knew Lin Chuan's name, they must have known the previous Lin Chuan.

Sure enough, after searching through his old memories, Lin Chuan found information about them. The chubby boy was Qin Lang, and the girl was Bu Lianshi. They had known Lin Chuan before, but weren't close; they'd only met him a few times. In fact, because Lin Chuan used to keep his head buried between his knees, they hadn't even known he had no eyes.

"Lin Chuan, why has your hair turned white? What happened to you? And your eyes, too..." Qin Lang stared at Lin Chuan in shock, while Bu Lianshi stood beside him, too frightened to come in.

"My eyes have always been like this because of heredity. As for my hair..." Lin Chuan hadn't expected that eating the Fruit of the God Tree would turn his hair white, just like Otsutsuki Kaguya's. He was preparing to make up a story to fool them when Qin Lang, looking as if he'd figured it all out, cut in.

"I get it. You've got the legendary one-night-sorrow-turns-your-hair-white! Right?" the chubby boy said excitedly, his eyes shining as he stared at Lin Chuan.

"What?" Lin Chuan was at a loss, feeling as if a flock of crows were cawing overhead.

"I understand. You must have gone gray overnight because you're worried about the Lin Clan Assessment in half a month. Don't worry. With me, Qin Lang, looking out for you, everything will be fine. Even if you're a cultivation idiot, I won't give up on you!" Qin Lang declared righteously, clapping Lin Chuan hard on the shoulder. He nearly sent Lin Chuan, who had only just recovered from a serious illness, flying.
