Chapter 303 - Rinnegan

Currently, Ryōsuke only had two women with Kage-level strength: Yugito Nii and Tsunade.

Only children born from them could grant him rewards from Gorgeous Treasure Chests.

The contents of such chests were certainly something to look forward to.

Previously, Yugito Nii giving birth to a child had granted him the Mangekyō Sharingan, while Tsunade's child had provided the Encyclopedia of Sealing Jutsu.

Naturally, he now desired even higher-level women.

If Fū possessed the power of a Tailed Beast, she would undoubtedly have Kage-level strength.

The destructive power of a Tailed Beast alone met that standard.

Although she still needed to be raised for a while, there was no doubt that this investment was highly cost-effective.

Helping her control the Tailed Beast's power would be even simpler.

One method was to slightly reinforce the seal on Fū's body, which was an easy task for the current Ryōsuke.

The other was to directly threaten the Tailed Beast; he now possessed the power to do so.

Upon hearing the God King's words, Fū was struck with disbelief.

"Is it true? Can you really help me and keep me from going berserk under the Tailed Beast's influence?"

Back in the village, before the Tailed Beast had been sealed within her, she hadn't been so disliked.

But ever since the Tailed Beast was sealed inside her, the children of her age in the village began to hate and avoid her. Some even called her a time bomb, saying she might explode at any moment.

Fū knew what they meant—they were afraid she would lose control and transform into a monster.

When that happened, the village would be destroyed.

It wasn't just the villagers who were afraid; she was terrified herself, fearing that she would become a monster.

Ryōsuke looked at Fū.

"Of course it's true."

"I'll solve the Tailed Beast problem for you right now. Just stand still."

"Let me have a proper chat with the Tailed Beast inside you first."

The entity inside her appeared to be the Seven-Tails, Chōmei.

Fū immediately stood firm upon hearing this, gazing at the God King who possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

He should be able to help her resolve the Tailed Beast issue.

Ryōsuke stared directly into Fū's eyes, his mental energy entering her body and arriving in a dark, cavernous space.

There, Ryōsuke saw a massive beetle lying quietly on the ground.

The beetle clearly noticed the human who had suddenly appeared in the sealed space.

It immediately flapped its three pairs of wings, flying into the air to glare down at the human.

When it saw those Mangekyō Sharingan eyes...

It was slightly surprised.

It didn't immediately move to kill him because it recognized those eyes as being similar to the eyes of Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths.

Moreover, anyone whose consciousness could reach this space was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

Even if it destroyed the person's spirit in this space, it wouldn't have much effect on the actual body.

It spoke, asking, "Human, what are you doing here?"

It certainly wouldn't have a pleasant attitude toward humans.

Looking at the flying beetle, Ryōsuke stated his purpose directly.

"Seven-Tails, keep your chakra under control. Don't let it leak out and affect Fū's mind, causing her to lose control."

The sudden appearance of massive Tailed Beast chakra in Fū's body would indeed cause her to lose control.

It wasn't just a matter of temperament; it would also instill a desire for destruction in her.

Perhaps it was because the Tailed Beasts had been sealed for so many years that their chakra was laced with malice.

The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki heard Fū's name—wasn't that the human who had sealed it?

These despicable humans not only sealed it to covet its power, but now they even wanted it to manage its own strength so as not to affect the Jinchūriki.

Now they actually wanted it to keep its own power in check so as not to affect the vessel.

This made it feel inexplicably furious.

"Human, you're going too far."

"You humans were the ones who sealed me in this container to begin with, and now you want me to do my best to suppress my leaking chakra? Don't even think about it."

Humans really were given an inch and wanted a mile.

It had no intention of doing as the man said; in fact, it wanted to release even more chakra to take revenge on humanity.

This was the only thing it could do now.

Ryōsuke expected this response. If these Tailed Beasts were so easily persuaded to stop interfering with their Jinchūriki...

Then Jinchūriki wouldn't be seen as time bombs in their villages, hated by all.

He focused his visual prowess, staring directly at the Seven-Tails.

He activated a Sharingan Genjutsu to control it directly, causing the pattern of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to appear in its eyes.

The giant beetle was instantly rendered unable to move in mid-air, crashing to the ground.

Falling to the floor and unable to stir, the Seven-Tails was struck with panic.

"You bastard, you actually dare use Genjutsu on me? Damn it!"

Sure enough, its earlier intuition had been correct. This guy's eyes were so sinister, resembling the Mangekyō Sharingan of Indra, the descendant of the Sage of Six Paths.

No wonder it felt that way.

Ryōsuke looked at it and threatened it directly.

"If you don't do as I say, I will destroy you."

The Seven-Tails was stunned for a moment before mocking him.

"Stupid human, you actually think you can destroy me? You're far too arrogant."

"We Tailed Beasts are manifestations of chakra, special life forms created by the Sage of Six Paths, who gave us life."

"Even if we are destroyed, our forms and consciousness will slowly reform and be resurrected."

Ryōsuke felt no surprise at these words; he had long known that the Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Special life forms? Interesting. You do indeed possess the trait of immortality."

"Perhaps I cannot eliminate you now, but what about when I awaken the Rinnegan? What will you do then?"

Upon hearing his words, the Seven-Tails' eyes widened as it barked in anger.

"Preposterous! Awakening the Rinnegan means becoming a Sage. Do you, a mere mortal, think you can reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths?"

The Sage of Six Paths was a true Sage who possessed supreme power—the one who could grant them life and possessed incomparable creativity.

The man before it dared to compare himself to a Sage just because he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Indra also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, yet he could never compare to the Sage of Six Paths.

Ryōsuke ignored the creature's ridicule.

Instead, he said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. The next step in the evolution of these Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is the Rinnegan."

The Seven-Tails was shocked. This guy's eyes were actually the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—no wonder they felt so similar to Indra's.

If that was the case, the next evolution really was the Rinnegan. How could such a person appear in the shinobi world? Could he be a descendant of Indra?

Had he achieved the ancestral power of his bloodline?

The Seven-Tails sneered.

"So it's the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan... no wonder it gave me such a strong impression. Even if the next step is evolving into the Rinnegan..."

"Although it is only one small step, that step is an impassable chasm."

"Human, you're dreaming too big."

"Even your ancestor Indra could never cross the threshold from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan and reach the Sage level before he died."
