The Eye of God?

Tragic, truly tragic.

However, Uchiha Shingen felt it was better for it to continue suffering, because if it didn't suffer, everyone else would.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet and shot towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The golem's head seemed to nod slightly, but the movement was so small that it was clearly Uchiha Shingen's own Chakra, which did nothing to arouse its interest.

It was still immersed in the disappointment that its enormous amount of Chakra had disappeared.

So Uchiha Shingen successfully jumped onto its arm.

It had a long slit in its arm, which was negligible for the size of the golem itself, but for Uchiha Shingen, it was enough to jump in and use as a trench.

The crimson Mitsudomoe reappeared in Uchiha Shingen's eyes.

Using those eyes again, he felt his pupil power was exceptionally strong, almost matching the level he had reached when he was in full Sage Mode.

The Ten-Tails 'Chakra is truly a wonderful thing.

At the same time, these Eye of Mental Reflection, are indeed his unique Dōjutsu and are now complete.

His guess was correct; the development of this Dōjutsu wasn't complete beforehand, which explained why it seemed so useless.

But could you call this Mangekyo Sharingan?

Never mind, I'll just use it first.

"Uchiha Shingen, what are you planning to do?" Nagato's voice came from behind him.

"You only dare to show your face now? Stop pretending, okay?" Uchiha Shingen turned around and looked at Nagato.

Nagato also stood on the golem's arm, his face bearing the stern expression reserved for outsiders.

But when he saw Uchiha Shingen's face, his expression changed.

It turned into "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"When... did you get these eyes?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Eye of God?

The canyon, a complete mess, presents a static style.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is in a state of self-isolation, completely motionless.

Nagato and Uchiha Shingen stood on the demon's arm, staring at each other.

It was Uchiha Shingen broke the silence first.

"Factory original, three times the price back if fake, what, you want to verify it?"

Seeing Nagato's expression, Uchiha Shingen felt...

What's so surprising? Did you think all he'd done all these years was play poker?

Nagato: "..."

As always, it was that familiar feeling of not understanding, yet also understanding.

Are you mocking me?

"Nonsense, it's just the two of us. If I don't mock you, am I supposed to mock myself?"

"These eyes can see through life and death..."

"Stop right there! I can tell you're still alive even without my Dōjutsu, you little watermelon rind!"

Nagato clenched his fists tightly.

How has this person survived this long? Was he this despicable even when he was weak?

"What? You can't accept it?" Uchiha Shingen said, indicating that he saw through Nagato's little scheme at a glance.

The Rinnegan had always sustained Nagato's confidence.

Because he possesses the Rinnegan, Nagato, who inherently detests fighting, fights alongside Yahiko and Konan to help them.

Because he possessed the Rinnegan, he wanted to fulfill Yahiko's dream after Yahiko's death.

It was because of the Rinnegan that he had the confidence to implement a painful peace and protect Konan in the process.

He had never enjoyed fighting; what sustained him was one belief— the Rinnegan was the most powerful.

However, his confidence has now wavered.

How did you do that?

"Nagato, you've used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for so long, do you know its origin?"

Uchiha Shingen paused for a moment.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path reacted slightly, turning its head a little.

It has limited... no, it has no intelligence. It just feels that the two little figures in its hands are very unruly, disturbing its ability to concentrate on its own retreat, and it finds them annoying.

However, both little figures gave it a sense of familiarity, so it instinctively judged them as harmless and continued to withdraw into its shell.

Its enormous Chakra is gone! Gone! I'm heartbroken, I don't want to move!

"What's the reason?" Nagato asked coldly.

But he wasn't cold inside at all; he was actually quite anxious and a little flustered!

Uchiha Shingen knew! He knew the origin of the Talisman of the Tailed Beasts!

Collecting all the Tailed Beasts means becoming the enemy of the Ninja World!

Akatsuki's high-end combat power is still limited, and even with the addition of Amegakure, they cannot contend with such an enemy.

The peace of the Land of Rain is based on a balancing strategy between the aforementioned forces and all parties. When the time comes, if Leaf Village makes a move, the two major ninja villages of Iwagakure and Sand Village will also react, and he will have no choice but to run away with Konan.

Yahiko's dream may be a long way off.

Uchiha Shingen paid no attention to Nagato's changing expressions; he simply continued explaining the facts.

"The Tailed Beasts came from the Demonic Statue, but where did the Demonic Statue come from? Everything has a source. It was an external entity, and also the original source of Chakra in this world. It gave birth to the Rabbit Goddess, who, with the blessings of the people, gave birth to two children. The eldest son was the Sage of Six Paths, who was born with Chakra. This Chakra gave rise to the Rinnegan, which means..."

Uchiha Shingen looked at Nagato, whose eyes were now identical to Nagato's, and said, "Having obtained the Chakra, isn't it normal for me, as an Uchiha Clan who inherited the blood of the Sage, to possess the Rinnegan?"

Yes, he fought the golem from day to night, constantly trading mana, and then he activated his Rinnegan.

His unique eye technique is his Rinnegan eye technique, and the reason it was incomplete before was because he didn't have the Rinnegan.

The Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques fall under the Yin Release category, while the Rinnegan's eye techniques are Yin-Yang Release. Having only Yin Release is not enough to activate it.

"Absurd..." Nagato finally spoke.

Uchiha Shingen rattled off a whole bunch of things, which really left him bewildered.

The Rinnegan is a power inherited from the Uchiha Clan bloodline, so could he be related to Uchiha Shingen?

What the heck Rabbit Goddess ? Good grief, you just casually mentioned the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' mother? And you mean he had siblings too? While he'd sometimes wondered what the Sage of Six Paths' family was like, Uchiha Shingen's comment made it seem so casual.

This version is so different from what Tobi told him... no, they're completely two different stories.

According to what Tobi told him, the Ten-Tails was the first Tailed Beasts in this world. Its excessive power harmed the people, so a monk saved them from their suffering by separating the Ten-Tails from its body. That monk was the Sage of Six Paths.

And all of his Rinnegan, like the Sage of Six Paths, were born that way; these are divine eyes that only those who have been given a mission by the heavens can possess.

He approved of this setting.

But now, Uchiha Shingen was also staring at him with his Rinnegan, and he was bewildered.

Uchiha Shingen doesn't seem like the kind of noble person at all...

"You're lying. I also connected with the golem, and nothing changed."

He didn't just fail to get stronger, he was almost drained dry. It's only because he's been fighting a lot lately, and he has many friends in the Ninja World who keep him going.

"You don't really think the golem needs your Chakra, do you? It's absorbing your life force. The reason you can return to your current form is because you fight frequently to maintain peace in this country, absorbing their Chakra in the process. Don't believe me? Try stopping for a month."

Uchiha Shingen also didn't quite understand Nagato's thoughts.

I switched to blue, but was yours a blue swap? They're not the same.

If Nagato had been bolder and extracted the Chakra of the demonic statue like Uchiha Madara, he would definitely be much stronger now, and his life force could have been restored.

If you have the Rinnegan, the golem is actually quite well-behaved.

He guessed that Nagato had been badly beaten the first time he used the golem in battle, leaving him traumatized, so he had already accepted that only the golem could beat him.

Not reading, or having no books to read, are both deadly.

In Uchiha Shingen's view, Nagato was a typical example of someone who had never read systematic textbooks or professional books, and relied solely on malicious self-media, obtaining only fragmented information.

This explains why he relies so heavily on the basic abilities of the Rinnegan in combat.

After all, from the very beginning of his training as a ninja, he built his combat system based on the Rinnegan.

Whether it's Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, or the current Uchiha Shingen, their combat systems were already formed before they obtained the Rinnegan. They wouldn't rely on the basic skills of the Rinnegan like Nagato did.

Because many of these basic abilities are actually quite useless. Within the Sharingan system, there are many more Ninjutsu with lower chakra consumption but similar effects.

The same goes for Nagato; it would be difficult to change him even if he wanted to.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Nagato asked.

"I was going to gouge your eyes out, but that would probably cost me a friendship. And that friendship wasn't easy to come by. Now that I have mine, it doesn't matter whether I gouge them out or not," Uchiha Shingen said. "Live a more fulfilling life. Don't waste Yahiko's good intentions. If you keep going like this, Konan is doomed."

Can Nagato be persuaded? Uchiha Shingen felt it wasn't entirely impossible, but he needed to calm down and listen to what people were saying first.

In the original timeline, there was no such person before he destroyed Leaf Village.

Once he has it, he can actually reverse it quite quickly.

Uchiha Shingen turned his gaze back to the crack on the demon's arm.

The Ten-Tails' body, though a fragmented remains, still possesses an overwhelming amount of Chakra, and...

Uchiha Shingen's Rinnegan also originated from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, belonging to the same source, which means that he can also summon this thing.

After thinking it over, he decided not to cut it off for now. The complete Rinnegan eye technique should be able to be cut off, but since there was not enough information at the moment, it was better to put it aside for the time being.

"Shall we continue? If not, let's move on to the next step," he asked.

Nagato stared intently at Uchiha Shingen.

Lying is a basic skill for ninjas, and he couldn't tell whether Uchiha Shingen's words were true or false, but there was one thing he could confirm on the spot.

He formed a hand seal.

The two of them suddenly lost their footing, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path transformed into a large cloud of white mist, which instantly spread throughout the valley.

Uchiha Shingen landed gently.

The Sharingan's basic abilities are main Chakra perception and Genjutsu amplification.

These abilities will be further enhanced during the Rinnegan stage.

The best way to deal with this ability is still the Hiding in Mist Technique.

To put it bluntly, it's about Chakra everywhere, but because there's so much chakra, it's harder to find people.

It is said that the inspiration for the Hiding in Mist Technique came from the mist used to cast and dispel Summoning Technique, but it is unknown whether this is true.

But this level of Chakra can't interfere with anything.

Even through the thick fog that hadn't yet dissipated, Uchiha Shingen could clearly see the large humanoid Chakra in front of him.

He saw that thing raise its hand, Chakra rapidly gathered in its hand.

We all have the same eyes, they're all so clear-eyed, there's no point in resorting to sneak attacks.

Although I'm not yet familiar with these eyes, basic abilities don't require extensive familiarity.

Just Chakra amount.

Uchiha Shingen didn't raise his palm; he felt that the first time he used it, it should have a sense of ceremony.

So he snapped his fingers.

The same shockwave was emitted at the same time.

The fog in front of them cleared away instantly, pushed aside by this force, and then collided with the opposite side.

The pushed-up mist resembled waves, creating an effect similar to water crashing against rocks.
