A week after the Jonin meeting, a magic ring shop opened on the Uchiha Clan's commercial street in the center of Konoha Village. It was only open for one day, and its entire stock of nearly a hundred rings sold out within that day. Some buyers were from other Villages, and others were from various Daimyo's estates. In short, the Uchiha Clan reaped immense profits from it.
That was a massive sum of 10 billion Ryo, and it was only for one day. Moreover, that was just the limited stock in the shop, not the market's upper limit. They also wanted to get involved, but remembering Lan Luo-kun's assertiveness in the Hokage's office at the time, everyone suppressed their own little schemes. No wonder the Uchiha Clan Leader wanted to withdraw from the Ninja ranks; with so much wealth in their Clan, they could indeed say they wouldn't be Ninja.
However, what benefited Lan Luo-kun the most was not the money, but the fact that with the public release of the magic ring, those who watched the movies, listened to the songs, or played the games within it and spoke Lan Luo-kun's name would experience an increase in their mental power. Lan Luo-kun's magic power also slowly grew; though small, it was foreseeable that when more people came, the harvest would be substantial.
Besides mental power, there was also the power of faith, but he had no way to use the power of faith in this world. It could only depend on Lan Luo-kun's development in his own world. Even with his current God-Mask, it wasn't as potent as naturalized lightning.
At the Sky Fortress, Lan Luo-kun had summoned Izumi, Uchiha Hikari, and Orochimaru this time. Today was the day for the Kaguya experiment. Lan Luo-kun was not worried about gene fusion, as they all now had Izanagi within their Transcription Seals.
After calling Daji to stand guard, Lan Luo-kun had Izumi and Hikari lie on two beds. He took out two syringes glowing with white-blue light. These contained a fusion agent of their genes and Kaguya's genes. Not only that, but fearing the pain of gene fusion for the two women, he also added the Extremis Virus to ensure their immediate recovery. Lan Luo-kun and Orochimaru injected the gene fusion agent into the veins of each woman.
Soon after, intense pain erupted from both women: "Daji, monitor the fusion progress." Lan Luo-kun watched the two women with concern.
Watching Izumi and Hikari recover with flames while in pain on the beds, Lan Luo-kun anxiously watched Daji's projected numbers: 10%, 20%, 30%... 80%... 100%. Finally, to Lan Luo-kun's relief, both women simultaneously opened their Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Lan Luo-kun stepped forward and held Izumi in his arms, comforting her, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore." After coaxing Izumi and using a Refresh spell, Lan Luo-kun took the two women back home, placed them on the bed, gently covered them with a quilt, and then exited the room.
When Lan Luo-kun returned to the laboratory, he said to Daji, "Send me a copy of the experimental data, and one to Lord Orochimaru." Lan Luo-kun had a good understanding of this experiment; it had cost him countless efforts, immense wealth, and top-tier talent.
Orochimaru, standing nearby, then said to Lan Luo-kun, "Lan Luo-kun, I think I am also ready. If you have time, we can experiment today. I am prepared to endure the pain of gene fusion at any time." He had seen the mature technology; these were not newly researched experimental data.
"Then lie down. I'll go get your gene fusion agent." Lan Luo-kun then walked into the inner laboratory.
When Lan Luo-kun emerged again with the white-blue syringe, Orochimaru was already lying on the experimental bed. This time, it wasn't a borrowed body, but his original one, and all the souls in his cursed seals had been recalled as Lan Luo-kun commanded.
With the same procedure, one injection later, Orochimaru was truly insane. He was clearly in agonizing pain, yet he smiled brilliantly. His dream of immortality had truly been achieved, and it was perfect.
Thinking of this, Lan Luo-kun felt a pang of unfairness. Orochimaru had barely made any sacrifices, yet simply by following him, he had obtained what he had sought his entire life.
Not long after, when Orochimaru opened his eyes again, the pressure of the eyes instantly erupted, causing the surrounding tool tables to shake. Soon after, it quieted down again, and Chakra continuously surged from Orochimaru's body.
"How wonderful," Orochimaru said, looking at his white hands again. Horns had also grown on his head. This should be his perfect form now.
"Lord Orochimaru, I must remind you, you are still lacking energy," Lan Luo-kun reminded him. At their level, energy was truly crucial. For example, Isshiki also needed the Ten-Tails' power, or the Chakra Fruit produced by the Ten-Tails; both are essentially energy aggregates.
He agreed with Lan Luo-kun's words, but he had infinite life and could accumulate over time. Orochimaru then said to Lan Luo-kun indifferently, "Thank you for the reminder, Lan Luo-kun. I believe I have plenty of time to let this body grow."
Lan Luo-kun didn't mention the future arrival of the Ōtsutsuki. After a brief chat, he returned home. He felt that he, too, was about to evolve. Recently, his Chakra volume had increased dramatically, and the three people who had borrowed his power all possessed the Rabbit Goddess's power.
Looking at himself in the mirror, blood tears once again welled up from his eye sockets. A tingling itch filled both eyeballs, deeply penetrating like marrow. Not long after, when Lan Luo-kun opened his closed eyes again, they were a Rinnegan with concentric circles.
Lan Luo-kun adapted for a moment, and upon gaining the Rinnegan, he acquired two more Dojutsus.
The awakened Dojutsu in his left eye was "Advancement." All skills could allow Lan Luo-kun to progress further. For example, his current jutsu and weapons could be advanced according to Lan Luo-kun's will. When Lan Luo-kun mastered them, the energy required for further Advancement would double. This was a further step beyond the original analysis; truly worthy of being the Eye of Mental Reflection.
The awakened ability in his right eye was "Omnipotence." He no longer had to painstakingly assemble things part by part as before. As long as he had enough energy, he could easily achieve whatever he desired, whether inanimate or living. It was also a higher-tier, further advanced ability of the "Takami Musubi no Kami" creation.
The Chakra and magic power in his body were both increasing. Lan Luo-kun felt that his current physical and spiritual energy were about ten times what they were before. The qualitative change was even more pronounced; he could feel the immense energy required to use his abilities after this Advancement.
After a period of stabilization, he could allow the Uchiha Clan members to advance. He could lend them some Six Paths power, and he believed Konoha would be very lively then.
Drowsy, Lan Luo-kun returned to his bedroom, collapsed onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Lan Luo-kun woke up, he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him from either side. Izumi spoke first: "Despicable Lan Luo-kun, you actually did such a thing while we were asleep."
Lan Luo-kun, still a bit groggy, said, "I was just like you two yesterday. It was a feat just to carry you back."
Hikari, beside him, then spoke: "Since you've slept, you must take responsibility." She had been craving Lan Luo-kun for a long time. Although she didn't say it outwardly, she was very happy inwardly.
Izumi looked at her friend in disbelief: "Isn't that just letting him off easy?"
Hikari, with a hint of coyness, then said, "What can we do? He's already slept with us."
Hearing this, Izumi almost blurted out, "But he didn't sleep with you, did he?" She thought about it and didn't say it aloud.
Seeing Lan Luo-kun's current state, she also asked, "Lan Luo-kun, are you alright now?"
Lan Luo-kun knew he needed to give them an explanation, so he opened his Rinnegan and said, "Take a look."
