"The Rinnegan possessed by Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, did not belong to him. Someone implanted them in him, and that person was Uchiha Madara," Uchiha Huan said. "Pain was actually just a corpse puppet. The one controlling Pain was the current owner of the Rinnegan, Nagato, Jiraiya's disciple. And Nagato, too, was merely a pawn in a massive conspiracy."
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this chilling information.
Uchiha Madara!! Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Huan with even greater fervor. "So the Rinnegan evolved from the Sharingan?"
Uchiha Huan nodded, then shook his head. "The Rinnegan evolved from the Sharingan, but it is also a separate system. The conditions required to evolve the Rinnegan are extremely harsh."
"So your goal is to evolve the Rinnegan as well?"
"The Rinnegan is merely a necessary power for achieving my goal. It is not the goal itself."
"Then what is your ultimate goal?"
"That is another question."
"What do we do next?" Orochimaru asked.
"Money!" Uchiha Huan said. "Building a village requires money. Go to the Land of Waves and find a gangster merchant named Gato. Gato controls the entire waterborne trade of the Land of Waves. Seize Gato's business, along with his wealth."
"Us? Then what about you?"
"I'm going to do something more meaningful," Uchiha Huan said.
With their current team, they could not defeat the Akatsuki Organization, nor could they defeat the Five Great Nations. Though every one of them was talented, they lacked top-tier combat power and a deep foundation. They could accomplish nothing. It would be better to improve their own strength.
Once his strength was sufficient, he could do whatever he wanted.
"Lord First Hokage, I want something."
"What?"
"A ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing."
"Bring me Gato's assets and power first, then I'll give it to you."
Uchiha Huan knew that Orochimaru definitely wanted the Impure World Reincarnation.
Only someone as underworldly as Orochimaru would learn such an underworldly technique.
"Also, I may be gone for a year or two this time."
"You're just dumping this mess on us and running off yourself?"
"What I need to do is extremely important. It will lay the foundation for our future."
Uchiha Huan returned to the Douluo World and reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The last time he had traveled to the Naruto World, he had activated the Eye of Space in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huff...
Uchiha Huan was just about to breathe in the fresh air of the Douluo World.
When a sudden chill ran down his back.
Uchiha Huan turned his head and saw a massive body hiding in the shadows.
The Soul Beast concealed in the shadows radiated an eerie, deathly aura from head to toe.
Uchiha Huan clapped his hands together. Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!
Rumble—
In an instant, countless roots intertwined and gathered into a gigantic Wood Human thirty meters tall.
The Wood Human raised its enormous palm and grabbed toward the shadows.
The Soul Beast in the darkness abruptly transformed into a violet-black streak of light. It leaped aside in an instant, evading the Wood Human's giant palm, then sprang onto its arm. Climbing continuously upward, it reached Uchiha Huan in less than a second.
It had the body of a massive tiger and wings on its back. Its tail seemed to be pieced together from segments of bone, with a scorpion-like tip. A pair of outward-curving fangs protruded from its mouth like two sharp blades, while violet-black energy continuously swirled around its body.
Dark Demon Evil God Tiger! Uchiha Huan's pupils suddenly contracted.
This was also the Soul Beast that had brought Tang San closest to death in the original story, nearly sending Douluo I straight into its finale.
Only one Dark Demon Evil God Tiger existed in each generation, so this was undoubtedly the one Tang San would face in the future.
Darkness, space, time, spiritual power, lightning, speed! Those were the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attributes.
Uchiha Huan moved, taking the initiative to meet the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger head-on.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger fired two blood-red light blades from its mouth. Uchiha Huan flashed aside, evading the attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, a kunai appeared in his hand, and as he dodged, he hurled it at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a pure gimmick monster, but so was Uchiha Huan.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flicked its tail and directly knocked away the incoming kunai.
Its tail seemed capable of extending without limit as it suddenly stabbed toward Uchiha Huan.
Bang—
Uchiha Huan's body in midair instantly exploded into a cloud of white smoke.
The next moment, Uchiha Huan appeared above the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head and slammed a fist into its forehead.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared in pain and fell from the Wood Human's shoulder.
Yet while falling, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger quickly adjusted its posture, spread its wings, and soared into the air.
After circling once in the sky, it dived down at Uchiha Huan again.
But what greeted it were roots suddenly extending from the Wood Human, forming a vast net that enveloped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger darted left and right through the air, finally avoiding every attack. It was just about to reach Uchiha Huan.
Uchiha Huan rapidly formed hand seals. Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Watching the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger close in, Uchiha Huan drew a deep breath.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters...
Closer and closer! Uchiha Huan suddenly exhaled a blast of scorching flame.
Huff—
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger burst out of the flames. Even with its Evil God Protection skill, it was still burned into a rather sorry state.
Its originally glossy black fur had been burned away in patches, leaving it looking utterly miserable.
But Uchiha Huan knew these burns did not even count as minor injuries to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Uchiha Huan remained standing on the Wood Human's shoulder while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at him.
Uchiha Huan stared back at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The two simply locked eyes for more than ten seconds.
This little brat was too troublesome. Though his damage was not high, he made it extremely uncomfortable.
At last, it gave up attacking Uchiha Huan. Turning into a streak of black light, it vanished into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Uchiha Huan also breathed a sigh of relief. His current attack power was insufficient; he had only managed to fight the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger by relying on gimmicks.
If they had continued fighting, he would have had to run for his life too.
That was how gimmick monsters worked. Perhaps I can't win, but I won't die either.
Uchiha Huan was like that, and so was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
By the time he walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest, five days had passed.
Uchiha Huan let out a long breath. This trip had truly not been easy.
The next time he activated the Eye of Space, he had to find a somewhat safer place before traveling.
Having been away for two months, Uchiha Huan did not want to linger outside any longer. He soon returned to Spirit City.
At the gates of Spirit City, Uchiha Huan was stopped by the guards again because of his tattered appearance. But once he displayed his Spirit Rings, he was immediately allowed through.
At his doorstep, Uchiha Huan saw Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue standing outside.
"What are you doing here?" Uchiha Huan looked at the Golden Three Idiots before him, his face showing a trace of displeasure.
After traveling for so long, he only wanted a good rest. He had absolutely no desire to fight anyone.
