After confirming who owned the Rinnegan, Kōki felt relieved, released the Spirit Transformation Technique, and his soul returned to his original body, which was sitting on the chair by the bed.
Upon returning to his Wood Release physical body, Kōki immediately sensed a distinct difference.
The Chakra within him suddenly went berserk, like a shark stimulated by the smell of blood, and its total amount was constantly increasing.
This unusual occurrence caused a flicker of surprise in Kōki's eyes, but it quickly turned into understanding.
His soul, now infected by various forces, has acquired characteristics of the Six Paths. These characteristics have a significant impact on Chakra. Therefore, the changes in Chakra within his body are understandable.
Five minutes later, the Chakra within Kōki's body calmed down and stopped increasing.
Feeling the immense and vibrant Chakra within his body, more than double what he had before, Kōki couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Even though he understood that a soul with the characteristics of the Six Paths might bring about significant changes to him, he never imagined that these changes would be so enormous.
In terms of strength, after this Chakra surge, his power increased by half. If we calculate carefully, he now possesses all of Hashirama's strength. This can truly be considered an unexpected surprise.
However, Kōki was not arrogant. Hashirama Senju the top in the Shinobi World, but it was still not enough for him.
Having successfully obtained the Rinnegan, his gaze was now firmly fixed on the realm of the Six Paths.
Therefore, the next task is very clear: on the one hand, to continue experiments related to Kekkei Genkai evolution reagents, as he believes there are still many areas worth exploring.
On the other hand, he needed to quickly strengthen his training in the Yin-Yang Release technique he had obtained from Obito. During this Rinnegan experiment, he discovered that Yin-Yang Release had a significant impact on the experiment, and without a certain foundation in Yin-Yang Release, he might not be able to withstand the impact of the Eternal Eye's power.
Furthermore, he had a premonition that when he had fully mastered the Yin-Yang Release and could use it freely, it would be the time for him to conduct the ultimate experiment of the Kekkei Mōra.
Meanwhile, after Kōki successfully awakened the Rinnegan, a significant commotion occurred in a remote, beautiful place far removed from the Shinobi World, where birds sang and flowers bloomed.
" Lord Fukasaku, what brings the Great Toad Sage here this time?" As they walked along the scenic path of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya, with his long white hair, asked Fukasaku, who was hopping around beside him, with curiosity.
He was originally in a small country on the edge of the Land of Fire, searching for Orochimaru's whereabouts while gathering material for his future novels. But just as he found a perfect... cough cough, perfect location for gathering material, before he could even start absorbing inspiration, he was summoned to Mount Myōboku by Sage Fukasaku using Reverse Summoning Technique.
Then they said that the Great Toad Sage had something to ask him, which made Jiraiya extremely frustrated. The program that was about to start was interrupted, and the feeling of being abandoned halfway was really unpleasant.
He couldn't help but grumble to himself, "That old Great Toad Sage toad immortal can't even speak properly. What important matter could he possibly want with him? He's wasting my time gathering materials!"
Jiraiya kept muttering to himself, but in reality, he obediently followed the Fukasaku the Sage toward the main hall where the Great Toad Sage was.
Upon hearing Jiraiya's question, Sage Fukasaku, still jumping up and down, replied, "The old man just woke up from a dream, saying he dreamt of some prophecies again. These prophecies are of great importance to the Shinobi World. That's why he called you here."
Upon Jiraiya, and his expression turned serious. Although he didn't know what the Great Toad Sage's prophecy was, he knew it was probably related to the Child of Destiny once again.
Before long, the man and the toad entered the residence of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, inside a spacious hall.
Inside the main hall, there was a stone chair that was two or three people tall. On the chair, a huge and old Toad lay reclining. Around the Toad's neck hung a necklace with beads bearing the character "oil".
Perhaps due to his advanced age and dulled senses, Jiraiya and Fukasaku the Sage's entry into the main hall did not wake the Great Toad Sage from his slumber. Jiraiya and Fukasaku could even faintly hear snoring sounds coming from the Great Toad Sage.
This caused Jiraiya and the Fukasaku the Sage to break out in an embarrassed sweat.
Before Jiraiya speak, a "well" shape appeared on the forehead of the Fukasaku the Sage Great Toad Sage's stone chair, took a deep breath with his mouth wide open, and shouted loudly at the Great Toad Sage, "Grandpa, Jiraiya, come here!!!"
The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire hall, leaving a lingering resonance. Jiraiya couldn't help but press his fingers into his ears to relieve the stinging pain in his eardrums.
However, the effect was indeed very good. After the Fukasaku the Sage roared, the Great Toad Sage, who was still sleeping, suddenly stirred.
It shifted its body slightly, then slowly opened its enormous eyes, gazing at Jiraiya not far away. Its wise eyes were filled with confusion.
" Jiraiya? Who Jiraiya?"
Fukasaku the Sage and Jiraiya were shocked to hear this as the first thing the Great Toad Sage said after waking up; they almost collapsed to the ground upon hearing it.
Seemingly feeling that the Great Toad Sage's current behavior was disrespecting the sages of Mount Myōboku, he roared again, " Jiraiya our successor of Mount Myōboku, and the teacher of the Child of Prophecy you speak of. You old fool!"
"Oh, it's Jiraiya. I remember now. What brings you here?" The Great Toad Sage asked slowly after hearing Fukasaku's words.
This performance caused Jiraiya to laugh awkwardly below, and almost made Fukasaku the Sage vomit blood in anger. He could only shout again, "Old man, you summoned Jiraiya here, saying you had some news about the Child of Prophecy to tell him. Are you still half asleep?"
These words seemed to have triggered a switch, and the Great Toad Sage finally came to his senses. He looked at Jiraiya and said, "Oh, there is indeed such a thing."
It shifted its massive body, changed its sitting posture, and said again, " Jiraiya, the organization with the Rinnegan is about to take action. Beneath the peace of the Shinobi World, undercurrents are already surging. The Child of Prophecy may not necessarily fulfill the destiny he is meant to have in the future. As his teacher, Jiraiya, you must help him."
These riddle-like words left Jiraiya completely bewildered. What did "action" mean? Who was the Child of Prophecy? How could he, as his teacher, help him?
Jiraiya was completely bewildered. Although he had heard the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he had no idea what to do.
Just as Jiraiya was about to ask the Great Toad Sage for clarification, the Great Toad Sage suddenly fell asleep, and was completely unresponsive.
Jiraiya now in a completely awkward position, but fortunately, there were still some clues in the Great Toad Sage's words, so that Jiraiya really be running around like a headless fly.
For example, the organization that possesses the Rinnegan should refer to the Light Organization mentioned last time. Although he doesn't know where the Light Organization is, he is quite clear about the Rinnegan, as it is his disciple. Once he finds Nagato's location, he will have a chance to figure out what the operation refers to.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiraiya stopped listening at Mount Myōboku and began searching for the Rinnegan after returning to the Shinobi World.
