Chapter 207 – Rinnegan, I Have It Too
When Uchiha Dali's fingers touched Uzumaki Nagato's Rinnegan, a familiar notification tone rang in his ears.
[Your comprehension of the Bloodline Encompassing · Rinnegan has rapidly improved. You have grasped Bloodline Encompassing · Rinnegan · Heavenly Rinnegan!]
[Bloodline Encompassing · Rinnegan · Heavenly Rinnegan: Mastering the laws of Yin and Yang—creation and destruction—is one of the defining traits of the Bloodline Encompassing Rinnegan! Heavenly Rinnegan stands above ordinary-level Rinnegan, capable of completely ignoring the rules and restrictions of a normal Rinnegan, bypassing all its negative drawbacks. It is the strongest ocular jutsu in the shinobi world!]
As the voice echoed in his mind, Uchiha Dali clearly sensed a very special kind of chakra emerging in his brain.
This unique chakra hadn't appeared out of thin air.
It began when part of Uchiha Dali's brain cells mutated, and from these mutated cells, this special chakra was refined.
As this chakra—completely different from the normal chakra in his body—grew in quantity, it began to further stimulate his eyes.
In just moments, his eyes naturally shifted from ordinary pupils to the basic Sharingan.
Then, they transitioned from a normal Sharingan to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
And then, they swiftly shifted from Mangekyō to the Six Tomoe Rinnegan.
These eyes shone with a dark-golden hue—different from the common purple, red, or yellow Rinnegan.
And all of this happened in a split second.
As his pupils transformed into the Rinnegan form, Uchiha Dali's mind instinctively gained information about several Bloodline Encompassing techniques—abilities that belonged solely to his Rinnegan.
"Ignoring all the Rinnegan's negative limitations, and wielding Bloodline Encompassing powers stronger than any normal Sharingan…!"
"This is insanely awesome!"
Uchiha Dali couldn't help but inwardly marvel.
His heaven-defying comprehension continued to surprise him, bringing joy that ordinary people could never imagine.
Standing less than half a meter away, Uzumaki Nagato clearly saw the change in Uchiha Dali's eyes the moment it happened.
He froze on the spot.
"Your eyes…"
"Ah, I also have the same eyes as you."
Uchiha Dali said with a playful smile.
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito's pupils contracted sharply. "Rinnegan?"
At the moment, Uchiha Dali's back was to him, so Obito couldn't see the eyes himself, but he had clearly heard the exchange.
Konan was also astonished.
From her angle, she could faintly see the change in Uchiha Dali's eyes.
Although the shape and color differed somewhat from Uzumaki Nagato's, it was undeniably the form of the Rinnegan.
"Who exactly are you?" Konan couldn't help asking.
"Uchiha Dali. You don't know me?"
Uchiha Dali looked at her with a faint smile.
"But… how can you also have the Rinnegan?" Uzumaki Nagato asked in utter confusion.
At that moment, Uchiha Obito recovered first and stepped in to explain on Dali's behalf.
"You all saw the memories inside Black Zetsu's mind earlier, so you should know that the ancestor of our Uchiha clan was actually the son of the Sage of Six Paths.
"And the Rinnegan comes from the Sage of Six Paths' eyes. He was also a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, so strictly speaking, the Uchiha clan should bear the surname Ōtsutsuki.
"In that case, it's not strange at all for members of the Uchiha clan to awaken the Rinnegan. Weren't your own eyes given to you by Uchiha Madara?"
Obito's eagerness to explain came from the excitement brewing in his heart.
If his reasoning was correct, then as a fellow Uchiha, he too might have the chance to awaken the Rinnegan.
The power of the Rinnegan was beyond question.
Who would ever dislike being stronger?
After hearing Obito's explanation, Konan and Uzumaki Nagato were left only with silent awe.
The strength of such a bloodline truly was beyond comparison—ordinary people couldn't hope to match it.
Just as the two of them were wordlessly sighing in their hearts, Uchiha Dali suddenly placed a hand on Nagato's shoulder.
The move made Nagato pause in surprise and look up at him.
In that instant, he felt a surge of astonishing life force flow into his body.
Its source was, of course, Uchiha Dali.
"You…"
Nagato froze, utterly bewildered by Dali's actions.
All he knew was that his body—once like withered branches and dying flowers—now felt as though it was being nourished by a spring rain. His five viscera, four limbs, and every bone were being revitalized.
The powerful, vibrant life force not only repaired his damaged body, but also filled him with boundless vitality.
In just a single moment, Nagato's appearance underwent a complete transformation.
Once gaunt and frail from years of severe chakra overuse and chronic illness, he now had the healthy skin tone and vitality of a young man.
His muscles were firm and well-proportioned, his skin smooth, his whole being radiant and brimming with energy—healthier than ever before.
This scene left not only Konan but even Obito completely dumbfounded.
Even Nagato himself was struck speechless, staring wide-eyed in shock.
"What… did you do to him?!"
Obito's voice trembled as goosebumps rose all over his body. He stared at Nagato's transformation in disbelief.
And right as he finished speaking, the impossible happened—Nagato, who had been sitting in his special wheelchair, suddenly stood up.
This action made both Konan and Obito jump in shock again.
Everyone knew that years ago, Nagato's legs had been blown off in an ambush set by Hanzō of the Salamander in alliance with Konoha's Shimura Danzō.
For so many years, he had been confined to his wheelchair, living only with Konan's constant care.
Now, this man—crippled for years—had stood up.
He stood up??
"My legs… wha—what's going on…"
Nagato was more shocked than anyone else.
He stared at his legs in disbelief, wondering if he was dreaming.
