"Look! They're moving!" Just then, Shippō suddenly pointed inside the Barrier, and everyone quickly looked in.
By now, Retsu's Ocular power had recovered. He turned to look at the slightly nervous Kikyo, a reassuring smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry. When the technique is performed, the Chakra fluctuations will be very intense. Step back a bit so you don't get caught in it."
Hearing this, Kikyo immediately retreated several meters, her eyes fixed on him.
Retsu's expression turned solemn, and the Chakra around him instantly became violent.
The pale blue Chakra surged out of his body like a boiling tide, spreading fiercely in all directions, making his long hair flutter behind him like burning black flames.
"Crack, crack—!"
The rocks beneath his feet were overwhelmed, instantly shattering under the pressure of the violent Chakra, with spider-web-like cracks spreading rapidly in all directions.
However, he precisely controlled this highly destructive Chakra within a one-meter radius, neither affecting Kikyo nearby nor disturbing Naraku, who was controlled by Genjutsu.
At this moment, everyone present felt a mountain-collapsing pressure sweep out from Retsu.
It was a pressure of pure power that inspired awe and made it hard to breathe.
"Such... such strong power..." Inuyasha grit his teeth, forcefully withstanding the pressure.
Kagome, Sango, and Shippō were pressed directly to the ground, their faces pale, and even breathing became difficult.
Feeling the boiling Chakra within him, the Mangekyo Sharingan in Retsu's eyes spun rapidly, and all his Ocular power poured out without reservation.
At that moment, the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern that had vanished from Naraku's pupils reappeared, and the Ocular Jutsu stored in the Transcription Seal was instantly triggered!
The Mangekyo Sharingan pattern spun frantically, and the Ocular power in the seal was consumed at a visible rate.
Simultaneously, as if pulled by invisible threads, Retsu and Naraku raised their hands at the same time, their fingers interlocking in a perfect pose, and shouted in unison:
"Gedo: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu!"
This was the trump card Retsu had tailored for his resurrection plan.
Using his own Mangekyo Sharingan's exclusive Ocular Jutsu, "Amenonuhonotama," he had copied this Rinnegan forbidden technique from Nagato.
Gedo: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu is a Six Paths level forbidden technique in the Hokage world, a special Ocular Jutsu of the Rinnegan activated through the Outer Path power.
It is a forbidden technique that resurrects the dead at the cost of the user's massive amount of Chakra and their own life.
But this Ocular Jutsu is, after all, exclusive to the Rinnegan, far exceeding the carrying capacity of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Although Retsu successfully copied this Ocular Jutsu using "Amenonuhonotama,"
Forcing the activation of this Ocular Jutsu with the Mangekyo Sharingan felt like an ant trying to pull an elephant.
The moment the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu was successfully activated, the life force within Naraku's body began to drain rapidly. The Ocular power just sealed through the Transcription Seal was being consumed frantically and would soon run out.
At this point, Naraku's Rinne Tensei no Jutsu, activated via the Transcription Seal, possessed immense life force but lacked the Chakra and Ocular power to support it. The technique had just started and was already teetering, liable to collapse at any moment.
However, he had long been prepared. While using Genjutsu to control Naraku and trigger the Transcription Seal to activate the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu, he had also activated the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu himself.
But on Retsu's side, the situation was exactly the opposite.
His Edo Tensei body had no true life force and could not provide the life force required for resurrection. Even with abundant Chakra and Ocular power, the technique was difficult to maintain.
Yet, at the very moment these two forbidden techniques, which should have both failed, were about to collapse, a miracle occurred.
These two simultaneously activated Rinne Tensei no Jutsu both essentially originated from Retsu's Mangekyo Sharingan, like twins born of the same source. At the critical point of the technique's collapse, a wondrous resonance suddenly occurred between the two.
