Half a day remained until Amegakure's lockdown ended.
After a brief conversation with the four Hokage resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, Naruto reached a preliminary agreement with them: he would spar with the four to familiarize himself with his new eyes and establish a new fighting style.
A storm was brewing, and every faction was stirring!
Inside Kabuto Yakushi's Experimental Base.
A full month had passed since Sasuke received Guoshang's cells.
But... Sasuke had not awakened the Rinnegan as Kabuto Yakushi had expected!
Kabuto Yakushi was baffled. "What on earth is going on? Guoshang's cells have been fully transferred to Sasuke-kun, far more thoroughly and precisely than when Madara transplanted Hashirama cells. Why is there still no sign of the Rinnegan awakening?"
Although he had not awakened the Rinnegan, Sasuke was enjoying the benefits. "My chakra is several times greater than before. In particular, I'm much more proficient with Wood Release now. But I still can't use those Adamantine Sealing Chains..."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "That was expected. Adamantine Sealing Chains are an innate Uzumaki talent. The Uzumaki Clan's deeper powers cannot be acquired through cells, but more superficial abilities, such as cellular regeneration, can..."
