The system also informed him that Wrathful Obito came with a new outfit named The Beginning of Wrath. It featured Obito fully wrapped in White Zetsu, with only his right Mangekyō Sharingan visible on his face.
Seeing the outfit priced at 3,000 gold coins, Charles purchased it without hesitation.
Feeling the kamui ability in his right eye, Charles exited the system space and activated his Sharingan. He tested the kamui ability, experiencing how it worked in real time.
He also gained access to the dimensional space connected to Kamui. Testing the kamui ability and exploring the alternate dimension confirmed all the capabilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
When remaining in the main world while in a phased state, the time limit was five minutes. However, entering the Kamui dimension entirely or exiting back into the main world had no time restrictions.
After confirming his personal Kamui dimension, Charles became curious about whether it was unique to him or shared with Obito and Kakashi.
Based on the system's mechanics, he speculated that his Kamui dimension was separate, but he needed to test this with Obito to be sure.
Remembering the two Obito ninja cards in his possession, Charles began to wonder whether he should fuse them.
The current Obito was far weaker. Though he had a three-tomoe Sharingan, his strength was only at the level of an elite chunin.
However, he had both eyes intact, his body was unscathed, and his face was free from disfigurement. As he aged naturally, his power would grow. Most importantly, he hadn't experienced his darkest moments.
However, if he didn't fuse the cards, the gap between the versions of Obito would only widen.
Without fusing Wrathful Obito, later versions—Tobi, the Masked Man, White Mask Obito, and the War Arc Obito—wouldn't be able to merge with the younger version.
Considering the healing magic from the magical world and the Reality Stone in his possession, Charles was confident he could heal Obito's facial scars even after fusion.
Moreover, using the young Obito as a base would make the left three-tomoe Sharingan his own, no longer belonging to anyone else. The only downside was that the left eye wouldn't evolve into a Mangekyō Sharingan.
After weighing the pros and cons, Charles decided not to make the decision alone and instead consult Obito directly.
"Red Queen!"
"I'm here, Master."
"Notify Jiraiya and Uchiha Obito to come over."
"Yes, Master."
It didn't take long before Jiraiya and Obito arrived at Charles Doyle's room.
Both of them wore expressions of excitement, their hearts racing with anticipation. Over the past period, both had experienced growth in their power, but compared to the rapid evolution achieved by merging with future selves, their progress seemed slow.
Jiraiya, in particular, felt a sense of helplessness as he watched the younger generation surpass him at an astonishing pace.
However, the summons from Charles today gave them a clear idea—this was their turn to undergo fusion and experience a dramatic power boost.
"Lord Charles!" both greeted in unison.
Charles nodded and looked at them, "You've probably guessed why I called you here."
Without further elaboration, he added, "Let's start with Jiraiya."
Charles's consciousness entered the system space, where he took out the ninja card of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin.
The moment the card was removed, the physical Jiraiya standing in the room vanished.
Meanwhile, Obito, who remained, glanced at the disappearing Jiraiya with curiosity before focusing on Charles.
After taking out Jiraiya's ninja card, Charles received a system prompt asking whether to fuse the Jiraiya and Jiraiya (Sannin) cards.
"Fuse the cards, with the Sannin Jiraiya as the primary template."
Charles thought carefully before deciding on this arrangement. If the S-rank Jiraiya card were the base, Jiraiya's appearance would shift to his 50s.
Instead, using the Sannin-era Jiraiya as the base kept his physical age in his 20s, giving Charles more time to nurture him into a Six Paths or Otsutsuki-level powerhouse, thus extending his lifespan significantly.
Even if he couldn't reach the Six Paths level, alternatives like Kunlun dragon bones, magic, or other methods could still achieve longevity.
Once the fusion was complete, Jiraiya's strength significantly increased. His ninjutsu arsenal expanded to accommodate 11 slots, and his list of secret techniques and specialized jutsu grew to over 20.
Additionally, his physical constitution and chakra reserves experienced a dramatic boost, laying a solid foundation for future growth.
After the fusion, Charles placed the Jiraiya ninja card back into the deployment slot.
The newly materialized Jiraiya looked much like his younger self, with the appearance of a man in his late 20s. His outfit resembled his early Shippuden attire, complete with the iconic oil forehead protector and a massive scroll strapped to his back.
The Jiraiya who appeared in the room began absorbing his memories. He recalled everything from the end of the Second Shinobi World War—parting ways with Tsunade and Orochimaru and staying in Amegakure to train Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato for three years—before resuming his journey across the shinobi world and returning to Konoha to train Minato Namikaze.
He relived leading troops during the Third Shinobi World War, supporting his student Minato in becoming the Fourth Hokage, and setting off on another journey after Minato's death.
His memories ended at the point where he took Naruto Uzumaki as his apprentice after the Chūnin Exams and began traveling with him.
As the memories settled, a wave of mixed emotions washed over Jiraiya. He reflected on his life's purpose and the concept of the "Child of Prophecy." Despite his fame, he felt as though he had achieved little of substance.
But this new world gave him a fresh perspective. Here, Charles had resurrected his beloved student Minato, allowing him to reunite with his family. Tsunade had also found peace and a companion, no longer destined for solitude.
