The hustle and bustle of Konoha was completely isolated from the seven-layer space folding barrier.
A whole day has passed since the reversal of life and death brought about by Rinne Rebirth. The village is still in chaos. The survivors are busy cleaning up the ruins, building temporary shelters, and counting the names of casualties and resurrections. In the temporary tent of Hokage's office, Tsunade brought the remaining high-level company Naruto was turning around, dealing with the myriad issues after the war. People in the streets and alleys were talking about Naruto's feat, and the miracle that reversed life and death. Some people occasionally mentioned that the reclusive Mr. Rinto, at the most desperate time, saved hundreds of seriously injured people who were destined to die, and created another medical miracle.
But none of these discussions, gratitude, and noise could reach Rinto's laboratory. The joys and sorrows of life and death in the outside world, the bustle of reconstruction, and the aftermath of the war were not even the sound of the wind outside the window to him. All his attention had long since shifted from Rinne Rebirth's surgical process to the deeper core issues that underpinned all of this and touched the origin of the world.
The experimental table is covered with the core files of all previous research. From the initial Chakra universal circulation model, to the Natural Energy fusion rules of the Senjutsu system, from Yang Release body repair From the complicated cell regeneration logic, to the binding mechanism between mind and body in Soul Anchoring Theory, to the whole process data of Rinne Rebirth that had just been disassembled, all the research results were spread out by him at this moment, and connected in series into a path leading to the underlying rules of the world.
In the past ten years, he has dismantled the logic of Ninjutsu, figured out the flow rules of Chakra, mastered the rules of space and gravity, and even cracked the binding mechanism between the soul and the body. But all his research stayed at the "application level" - he knew how the spells took effect and how the rules were used, but he never fully understood the core question: What is the origin that supports all of this?
Why can the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy produce Chakra? Why can Yang Release regenerate cells and even create tangible substances? Why can Outer Path Chakra of Rinnegan interfere with the rules of life and death and recall the soul from Pure Land? What is the essence of life? What is the origin of Chakra?
These problems are the underlying rules that everyone has taken for granted since Shinobi World thousands of years, but no one has ever completely dismantled them. The ninjas only know how to refine Chakra, release Ninjutsu, and know that Yang Release masters life, Yin Release masters the spirit, but no one has delved into the essence behind it. Now, Rinto holds in his hands the full amount of Rinnegan's magic data, the complete process of soul cross-dimensional recall, and the actual test sample of Yin-Yang Release's ultimate application, and finally has the opportunity to touch these most original secrets.
Rinto sat in front of the experimental table and first called up the core energy data of Rinne Rebirth. He ran his fingertips across the light screen and made a precise spectrum comparison of Outer Path Chakra when Nagato activated the technique, Chakra, Senjutsu Chakra, and even Tailed Beast Chakra of Nine-Tails of regular ninjas.
On the light screen, the spectrum curves of the four types of chakra are very different. The chakra of the regular ninja is a stable fusion of physical energy and mental energy, with a stable spectrum but a very low upper limit; the senjutsu chakra adds natural energy, with a wider spectrum and higher energy density; the nine-tailed beast chakra has a very strong source of life. The energy density of breath and energy is far higher than that of ordinary ninjas; but the spectrum of Nagato's outer chakra has a completely different quality that can directly interfere with the underlying rules of the world - it can not only integrate the body, spirit, and natural energy, but can also directly act on the soul, life, and even the rules of space and life and death itself.
"The essence of Chakra has never been simple physical energy + mental energy." Rinto muttered in a low voice, and the charcoal pen on his fingertips fell on the slate, and he wrote the first line of conclusion, "This is just Shinobi World's general and most superficial Chakra refining method, not the origin of Chakra."
He first started to dismantle the most basic source of life energy.
His previous research on body energy mostly stayed at the application level of "improving body strength, accelerating cell regeneration, and supporting Chakra refining", even if it was Eight Gates Released Formation protection for Kai and Rock Lee The plan only optimized the utilization efficiency of the body's energy and reduced the loss. The complete data of Rinne Rebirth gave him an unprecedented observation window - how the stopped life activities were reactivated at the moment when the soul returned to the body.
He randomly selected full-cycle data from hundreds of resurrection cases, magnified the entire process from death to resurrection to the cellular level, and accurately tracked the change curve of life energy. The data clearly showed that after a person dies, all the cells in the body will not die instantly, but the life energy will dissipate quickly, and the metabolism of the cells will The ability to divide, repair, and repair will quickly stagnate; and when the soul and body are re-bound, the soul's origin will be like an "igniter", instantly reactivating the remaining life energy in the body, restarting all life activities of the cells, allowing the stopped heart to beat again, and allowing the stagnant metabolism to run again.
This discovery completely overturned Shinobi World's conventional understanding of life energy.
Shinobi World has always believed that life energy comes from the body, from the vitality of cells, and is a product of the body. However, Rinto found through data comparison that the fact is exactly the opposite: the origin of life energy is the core energy that is generated together after the soul and body are bound to carry the survival of life. The body is the container and the soul is the anchor. Both are indispensable.
The cells of the body are the carriers of storage and transformation of life energy; and the inherent frequency of the soul is the core anchor that maintains the stability of life energy. When the soul is separated from the body, even if the cells of the body are not necrotic, the life energy will dissipate quickly and life activities will completely stop; conversely, the body will be completely destroyed, the soul will lose its carrier, and the life energy will lose its support. It can only go to Pure Land and cannot survive in this world.
This also perfectly explains why Impure World Reincarnation's sacrifice, even if it is bound by the soul, can only exert the strength of the deceased when he was alive - because the body of the sacrifice does not match the soul of the deceased, and cannot form a stable life energy cycle, it can only rely on The caster's Chakra is forcibly maintained. This also explains why when he repaired the wounded whose souls were shaken away before, even if the body was intact, the wounded's organ functions were rapidly declining - the anchoring between the soul and the body was broken, and the cycle of life energy collapsed.
Rinto continues to draw charcoal, based on the measured data of thousands of samples, step by step to dismantle the underlying logic of life energy: from the generation mechanism of life energy, the binding relationship with cell activity, and the flow rules in the meridians, to Yang Release Chakra's amplification and application logic of life energy, and even accurately deduced the decay curve of life energy and the correlation formula with age, body condition, and soul strength.
He even did cross-verification through the extreme data of Eight Gates Released Formation, the body strengthening data of Multi-Size Technique, and the life restart data in Rinne Rebirth, and perfected the full-dimensional model of life energy. His previous Yang Release The E repair system is based on precise intervention at the cellular level. Now, he has understood the origin of life energy and can optimize the cycle of life energy from a lower level logic. It can even delay the natural decay of life energy and fundamentally increase the life limit of the body.
After dismantling the origin of life energy, Rinto immediately turned the core of his research to the reconstruction of the essence of Chakra.
From the first day they entered Ninja Academy, the ninjas of Shinobi World were instilled with a common sense: Chakra is formed by the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy in the human body. Through Hand Seals, the corresponding Ninjutsu can be released. For thousands of years, all ninjas have followed this rule, refining Chakra, and practicing Ninjutsu. No one has ever questioned the limitations of this definition.
But in the eyes of Rinto, this definition is just a superficial description of "how Chakra came to be" and does not touch the essence of Chakra at all.
He laid out a new slate, based on more than ten years of research accumulation and the Rinnegan he just got Chakra data redefines the essence of Chakra: Chakra is the original energy of a living individual, a controllable energy carrier formed through the transformation and fusion of different dimensions. Physical energy and mental energy are only the two most basic transformation dimensions of Chakra, not all.
In his model, the composition of Chakra is far more complex and broader than Shinobi World recognized:
- Body energy is the embodiment of life energy. It comes from the life cycle formed by the binding of body and soul. It carries the rules of "form" and "life" and is the origin of Yang Release;
- Spiritual energy is the overflow power of the soul's origin, coming from consciousness, memory, and the inherent frequency of the soul. It carries the rules of "mind" and "spirit" and is the origin of Yin Release;
- Natural Energy is the environmental source energy of this world. It can be integrated into the first two energies to form Senjutsu Chakra, which greatly improves the magnitude and rule interference ability of Chakra;
- Tailed Beast Chakra, Rinnegan and Six Paths Chakra are essentially higher-dimensional source energy, which not only includes basic physical and mental energy, but also directly incorporates the authority to interfere with the basic rules of the world - such as gravity, space, life and death, and the rules of the soul.
This model perfectly explains all the Chakra application systems of Shinobi World: the regular Ninjutsu is the nature and form change of Chakra; Kekkei Genkai is the bloodline of a specific ethnic group and comes with more tolerance for a certain type of rules. The talent that is easy to interfere; Senjutsu, introduces the original energy of the world's environment and increases the upper limit of Chakra's rule interference; and Six Paths Technique of Rinnegan directly transforms Chakra into the ability to interfere with the basic rules.
More importantly, through this model, he derived the ultimate essence of Chakra - it is not a fixed energy, but a "medium". The process of the ninja refining Chakra and releasing Ninjutsu is essentially interfering with the basic rules of the world through the medium of Chakra: Fire Release interferes with the burning of matter. Rules, Water Release interferes with the rules of fluids, Earth Release interferes with the rules of material cohesion, and Shinra Tensei, Banshō Ten'in, are Through the medium of Chakra, it directly interferes with the rules of gravity of this world; Rinne Rebirth, through the medium of Chakra, interferes with the rules of life, death and soul.
This conclusion completely overturns Shinobi World's millennium-old understanding of Chakra. Everyone thinks that the power of Ninjutsu depends on the magnitude and control accuracy of Chakra. Rinto has dismantled the core truth: the upper limit of Ninjutsu is never the number of Chakra, but how deep you can touch the rules of the world through Chakra.
This is why, no matter how large the amount of Chakra is, ordinary ninjas cannot release Shinra Tensei, let alone Rinne Rebirth - because their Chakra cannot touch the underlying rules of gravity and life and death at all, and can only make the most basic changes in material properties and forms.
Rinto's eyes glowed brighter and brighter. All his previous research, whether it was the space folding of the barrier, or the model of gravitational repulsion, whether it was the Yang Release repair of the body, or the anchoring back of the soul, were essentially based on his understanding of the rules., bypassing the surface Hand Seals logic of Ninjutsu, and directly interfering with the corresponding rules through the Chakra medium. But now, he has completely understood the underlying logic behind this, which is equivalent to completely mastering the "underlying code" of this world.
After clarifying the essence of Chakra, the research on Rinto naturally entered the most core and ultimate field - the first touch of the creation-level rules.
The Ninjutsu system of this world comes from Sage of Six Paths, Chakra from God Tree. And In the legend spread by Shinobi World, Yin-Yang Release of Sage of Six Paths is the power that can create all things - Yang Release can create bodies from scratch, Yin Release can give soul and consciousness to invisible things. According to legend, Sage of Six Paths used Yin-Yang Release to create Tailed Beast, Izanagi can rewrite unfavorable reality, and Izanami can determine the direction of destiny. These are beyond the scope of conventional Ninjutsu and touch upon the rules of "creation" and "rewriting reality".
Before, these were just legends and scattered documentary records to him. But now, with the full amount of spell data of Rinnegan in his hand, and the actual test sample of the ultimate application of Yin-Yang Release, he could finally come into contact with this creation-level rule.
He started with proven techniques and dismantled the ultimate application logic of Yin-Yang Release.
Black Receiver of Six Paths of Pain is a typical example of Yin-Yang Release's creation - Nagato uses Yin-Yang Release to create a product from scratch that has both physical properties and Black Receiver with Chakra conductive properties, which is the basic application of Yang Release shaping and Yin Release spiritualization (giving Chakra conductive properties); Asura Path The mechanical transformation of directly rewrites the body structure of the corpse with Yin-Yang Release, creating weapons, missiles, and mechanical structures out of thin air. It is a more complex Yang Release modeling application; Animal Path's Summoning Technique can channel a huge psychic beast out of thin air. In essence, it uses Yin-Yang Release and Summoning Contract to open up the coordinates of different spaces and summon the body and soul of the psychic beast simultaneously.
And Rinne Rebirth is the ultimate combination of Yin-Yang Release and Outer Path Power - it not only uses the power of Yin-Yang Release to open up the world and Pure Land The dimensional barrier of recalled the soul and restarted the life cycle through the rebinding of the soul and the body, which was equivalent to reversing the established reality of "death". This was infinitely close to the interference of creation-level rules.
Rinto dismantled and refined the underlying logic of these techniques bit by bit, and finally touched upon the core truth of Yin-Yang Release: The so-called Yin Release and Yang Release are never simply the application of mental energy and physical energy, but the application of this The control of the two basic rules of the world - Yang Release, controls the rules of "matter and form", which can interfere with the generation, change, repair and destruction of matter; Yin Release, controls the rules of "consciousness and soul", which can interfere with spirit, soul, consciousness, and even the boundary between illusion and reality.
The combination of the two can achieve "creation from scratch", which is the legendary "creation" ability of Shinobi World. Sage of Six Paths can create Tailed Beast, and Madara Uchiha can use Izanagi to rewrite reality. In essence, they are the ultimate application of the rules of Yin-Yang Release and a direct rewrite of the underlying rules of the world.
What excites him even more is that he derived an even more amazing conclusion through Rinnegan's Chakra data: This creation-level rule authority is not unique to Rinnegan. Rinnegan is just a key, which turns Yin-Yang Release's rule interference authority has been magnified to the extreme, allowing users to easily access these underlying rules. And through more than ten years of research, he has completely dismantled the logic of these rules through data and formulas. Even without Rinnegan, he can achieve the same level of rule interference through his own understanding of the rules.
Even, he can do better. Nagato's application of Rinnegan is just instinctive and based on blood inheritance. He doesn't understand the underlying rules behind these techniques at all, so Shinra Tensei's energy utilization rate is extremely low., Rinne Rebirth has to pay the price of his entire life. But Rinto has understood the essence of the rules. He can achieve the most efficient rule interference with the lowest energy consumption, and can even optimize and reconstruct these spells to break through the original limitations.
The sky outside the window changed from dusk to late night, and from late night to dawn.
Rinto sat in front of the experimental table and did not move for a whole day and night. The charcoal pen in his hand was filled with slates one after another. The formulas, models, and curves on the light screen were refreshed over and over again. He disassembled the source of life energy into The essence of Chakra, from the media attributes of Chakra, to the creation-level rules of Yin-Yang Release, step by step, the underlying rules of this world are clearly dismantled.
When the last stroke was made and he derived the basic formula of the Yin-Yang Release creation rule based on all the data, the rising sun outside the window happened to shine through the glass window and onto the stone slabs covered with formulas.
Rinto put down the charcoal, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the complete theoretical system he had built, from the origin of life to the rules of the world, with ultimate satisfaction in his eyes. He had been in this world for more than ten years, starting with the most basic Chakra research, and step by step until now, he finally came into contact with the core and most original rules of the world.
He casually encrypted all the derivation processes, formulas, models, and theoretical conclusions and locked them in the deepest part of the data cabinet. To Shinobi World, these things were taboo knowledge that could subvert the entire ninja system. But to him, they were just a record of his own research process and the answer to the world's mysteries.
After filing, Rinto's eyes fell back on the light screen again.
He has figured out the essence of the rules, but there is still one problem that remains unsolved: Why does Chakra of Rinnegan naturally have such high authority to interfere with the rules? What is the essence of Six Paths Power? What is the core difference between Outer Path Chakra of Nagato and the ordinary Yin-Yang Release Chakra?
The answers to these questions are hidden in Rinnegan itself, in the origin of Six Paths Power. And he happens to have the most direct research materials in his hands - the puppet remains of Six Paths of Pain, as well as the Black Receiver samples scattered throughout the village.
Rinto stood up, moved his body that had been sitting for a long time, and looked at the sample storage room of the laboratory. When Pain invaded before, he only relied on the sensing nodes to collect the magic data and did not touch those The corpse of the puppet. But now, Rinne Rebirth has ended, and the remains of Six Paths of Pain have been collected by the ninjas of Konoha. To get the most complete sample, it only takes one sentence.
Of course, he will not care about how Konoha handles these remains, let alone apply for any permissions. The samples he wants never need to ask for anyone's consent. What's more, these puppet remains contain the imprint of Rinnegan Chakra and the traces of Six Paths Power's application, which are the core materials for his next research.
