Rinnegan!
That is the legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths—a divine eye said to be impossible for anyone to awaken except an Indra reincarnation.
Yet now, Chiyu has finally managed to open it!
After the Sage of Six Paths and Uchiha Madara, he is the third person to awaken the Rinnegan!
At this moment, Chiyu's…
Rinnegan Chakra (50,500 / ???)
His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's power has reached the pinnacle, evolving into the Rinnegan; but the system shows his further progression as "???", meaning the future development is likely unpredictable and awaits his own will to guide it!
[Congratulations, Host. Your Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's power has reached its perfect apex!
You have successfully awakened the Complete-Body Susanoo!]
[You have successfully evolved to the Rinnegan!]
[You have awakened the Seven Paths of the Rinnegan—Deva, Animal, Preta, Asura, Human, Naraka, and…the Outer Path!]
A flurry of messages from the system.
Chiyu could not help a slight smile.
At last…
He had awakened the Rinnegan!
Heavenly Path!—Shinra Tensei, Banshō Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei.
Animal Path!—Summon all manner of beings.
Preta Path!—Sealing absorption.
Asura Path!—Chakra missiles.
Human Path!—Mind reading, soul extraction.
Naraka Path!—King of Hell verdict, revival.
And…the Outer Path—Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!
Indeed, these are essentially what people call the "Six Paths of Pain," although in truth there are seven paths, including the Outer Path that Nagato (the real body) wielded.
Moreover…
After awakening the Rinnegan, Chiyu's chakra natures are instantly filled out. Previously he had mastered Lightning, Fire, Yin, and Yang; but now, all five elemental natures are complete, plus Yin–Yang Release as well!
And that's only the Rinnegan's capabilities. Additionally, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan has reached perfect mastery. Hence, he has also unlocked…
Complete-Body Susanoo!!!
And it's a world apart from the earlier stages or forms of Susanoo. Even the so-called "fourth form of Susanoo" cannot compare—like the difference between a mere soldier and a Kage-level titan!
Once invoked…
It can cleave mountains, split rivers—destroy heaven and earth with a wave of its hand, reshaping the terrain with a mere flick of the wrist!
Such power represents the pinnacle of destruction.
Truth be told, even if Chiyu had only unlocked Complete-Body Susanoo without the Rinnegan, he would already be absolutely unrivaled in the present era.
Now, combined with the full might of the Rinnegan, one can say he stands as unparalleled among the undefeated!
He can freely switch between the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan, making it convenient to use any ocular power at will.
In other words, he has now far surpassed the level of the current age!
Chiyu casually withdrew Susanoo, landing heavily on the ground. He clenched his right fist slightly, sensing his new strength.
In a sense, there's only one phrase that describes him now:
Beneath Six Paths, I have no equal.
And given that there is no "Six Paths–level" figure currently in the world…
He is simply invincible.
…
Having landed, he noticed that Asuma Sarutobi and Kazuma's men were still present. Previously, he paid them no heed since, compared to the likes of Killer Bee or the Fourth Raikage, they didn't matter. But now, he indeed sensed a group trying to hide in the distance.
Moments ago, the raging battle ended. Asuma Sarutobi, Kazuma, and their followers—members of the Twelve Guardian—emerged.
Kakashi and Guy were somewhat baffled because Chiyu normally wouldn't bother with small fries after dispatching such mighty foes as the Raikage and Eight-Tails. Yet he stepped forward now, apparently changing his mind.
Chiyu's tone was calm:
"I was interested in testing out some new abilities. Asuma Sarutobi, Kazuma… and you so-called Twelve Guardian Shinobi…
The fact you can die by this technique may be the sole glory in your otherwise pointless existence."
A hush fell. Even Kakashi and Guy didn't quite understand, though they sensed something ominous.
In that instant…
Chiyu's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan spun, their intricate hexagonal star pattern shifting into a set of rippling concentric circles…
"That—! That's…!"
"The Rinnegan?!"
"Impossible—! The legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths—how can it appear in this era?!"
Even Kakashi and Guy were sweating.
"Hey… Kakashi, that's really…"
"Yes… by all appearances, it's indeed the Rinnegan. But… how in the world can Hokage-sama…?"
Asuma and Kazuma, plus their men, felt a chill of sheer terror. They had never imagined something like this.
Rinnegan—the rumored godly eye of legend…
But for Chiyu, unleashing the Rinnegan was as natural as breathing. Gazing at Asuma Sarutobi's attempt at vengeance, he sighed quietly.
Kazuma roared in anger, refusing to yield:
"What's so special about your illusions?
Even the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't make us surrender!
If we're dying anyway, we'll fight to the end!
Earth Release Resurrection Technique: Corpse Soil!
With that, Kazuma weaved signs, slamming both hands on the ground. The earth convulsed as if alive, surging like a wave. Moments later, countless arms thrust out from below, zombie-like silhouettes crawling from beneath the soil.
Kakashi took in a sharp breath.
"That technique… a variant of Edo Tensei…?"
Kazuma's jutsu resurrected the "Lightning Four" who once served the Fire Daimyō but had been killed by Kazuma, along with a couple dozen more dead shinobi. An undead army advanced on Chiyu.
Meanwhile, Asuma Sarutobi took a deep breath:
"Fire Style: Burning Ash!"
He spewed out an intensely hot ash cloud, enveloping Chiyu in an instant. Once the ash adhered, it would incinerate its target—then violently explode.
But Chiyu's Rinnegan flickered. Without a word, he extended one hand, voice cool:
"Preta Path—Absorption."
To everyone's amazement, the scorching ash—along with the jutsu's chakra—vanished like dust in a vacuum, leaving not even a trace of embers or heat.
"W-What?! He just sucked in the entire jutsu, chakra and all?!"
"This… must be a Rinnegan ability?"
A faint smile curved across Chiyu's lips.
"All right, then. Let's begin."
