A Rinnegan was a Rinnegan.

A Tenseigan was a Tenseigan.

Even within the Ōtsutsuki main family, each dōjutsu remained distinct. If they obtained a new eye, they could only place it on the forehead or embed it in the palm.

Yet Uchiha Ren had done something they had never seen before—

he had fused the Tenseigan and the Rinnegan into one, creating the unique Rinne-Tenseigan.

That realization left Urashiki and Kinshiki in a foul mood.

They had always stood above others, looking down on everything.

But after arriving on Earth, every bit of that pride had been trampled under Ren's feet.

The feeling was unbearable.

"Feels good."

Ren rolled his shoulders lazily, his tone almost casual.

"It's been a while since I used these eyes. I'm still getting used to them. "

The instant he finished speaking, a terrifying wave of ocular power poured from the Rinne-Tenseigan and crashed toward Urashiki and Kinshiki with overwhelming force.

"Damn you. Don't get ahead of yourself."

Kinshiki's Byakugan sharpened. He let out a cold laugh and barked,

"Stupid Earthling—do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

"Phase Shift."

A spiral distortion rippled through space.

Kinshiki vanished from sight.

"He disappeared!"

"The enemy vanished!"

"What kind of space-time technique was that?!"

From far away, Queen Loran, Princess Sara, and the ministers all cried out while watching through telescopes.

Then—

"Die!"

Without the slightest warning, Kinshiki reappeared behind Ren, grinning savagely as he drove his fist forward. A red chakra blast erupted from the strike and slammed toward Ren's back.

From the look of it, Kinshiki was certain he had him.

A direct sneak attack like that—

even a Six Paths–level fighter wouldn't come away clean.

In his eyes, Uchiha Ren was already dead.

Boom!

A deafening explosion tore through the sky.

The red chakra blast smashed into Ren's body head-on, and the violent shock wave that followed made the air split and the surrounding space tremble.

And yet—

there was no blood.

No shattered flesh.

No sign of injury at all.

Because Ren hadn't moved.

Not even half a step.

He remained suspended in the air, shoulders squared, completely unfazed.

Only if one looked closely could they see it—

a layer of visible black energy had wrapped around his body at some point.

Armament Haki, reinforced by Six Paths power.

"How is that possible?!"

Kinshiki was the first to break, staring at Ren in disbelief.

He simply could not accept what he was seeing.

Ren had taken that attack with his body alone and walked away unscathed.

That was beyond absurd.

Kinshiki knew exactly how destructive his attacks were. A normal Six Paths–level opponent would have been crippled from a hit like that.

Unless—

Uchiha Ren wasn't a normal Six Paths–level fighter at all.

"How boring."

Ren turned his head slowly and glanced back at him.

"If this is all you've got, then you can start preparing to die."

To be fair, after stepping into the Six Paths realm, all three forms of his Haki had undergone another transformation.

What Kinshiki had just hit was not ordinary defense.

It was evolved Armament Haki layered with Six Paths force.

"Kinshiki, be careful. There's something strange about him."

Urashiki, who had stayed back to observe, finally spoke up, his gaze flickering.

"No more dragging this out. End it fast."

"Understood."

Kinshiki's face grew grim.

Instinctively, he tried to pull away and create distance.

Too late.

Bang!

A sharp impact rang out.

Kinshiki's body flew off like a broken kite.

That was only the beginning. 

A rapid series of collisions followed, one after another, as his body was hammered through the air from one point to the next.

No one watching could even keep up with what was happening.

Then, at last, he was smashed straight down into the earth.

The impact blasted open a massive crater and sent tremors racing through the ground.

Silence fell.

A hard, stunned silence.

Not just Urashiki—even the people of Loran stared in disbelief.

Because none of them had seen Ren move.

They had seen Kinshiki attack.

Then they had seen him get beaten all the way out of the sky and pounded into the ground.

That was it.

The whole reversal had happened so fast it barely felt real.

"Kinshiki just got beaten senseless…"

"What do you mean, beaten senseless? He couldn't even fight back."

"Lord Uchiha Ren was too fast. Kinshiki never even had time to react."

Only after lowering their telescopes did the Queen, Princess Sara, and the ministers finally look at each other, each seeing the same amazement in the others' eyes.

"So amazing…"

Princess Sara's eyes shone like stars. With the telescope still in her hands, she looked at Uchiha Ren the way a devoted admirer would look at a legend.

There was only one thought in her mind now—

The Fifth Hokage is incredible.
