The area where the players from the Rain Village side had once stood no longer resembled its original appearance in the slightest.
At the same time, every trace of the players themselves had vanished.
In their place—
Treasures littered the ground everywhere!
The dazzling sight almost made Ning Feng dizzy.
Most of the mercenary ninja players who came this time were veterans from the Nine-Tails Incident event, players who had tasted success by following Ning Feng and earned enormous amounts of points before.
As a result, the items they carried were generally quite valuable.
Ning Feng didn't waste any time and immediately rushed over, activating the one-click loot function!
"Congratulations! Your reputation has increased by 10,000 points!"
"Congratulations! You obtained 3,000 taels…"
"Congratulations! You obtained 30 Explosive Tags…"
…
The endless stream of system notifications quickly left Ning Feng disappointed.
It looked flashy enough…
But most of it was just ordinary materials.
After all, as the shadow of an entire village now, ordinary resources were something he possessed in limitless quantities.
What he wanted were items that could directly and brutally increase his own strength.
Things like explosive tags and money were resources he handled daily in amounts vastly greater than what he was picking up now.
"I didn't expect these guys to be this poor."
Ning Feng clicked his tongue in disdain and was just about to continue complaining—
When the next reward instantly improved his mood.
"Congratulations! You obtained a Bloodline Upgrade Scroll…"
Bloodline Upgrade Scroll?
Ning Feng froze slightly.
He hadn't expected a player to actually possess something like this.
Previously, he had already obtained one Bloodline Upgrade Scroll before, allowing him to evolve his own bloodline into a Bloodline Elimination.
And this time…
He planned to use it on his Mangekyō Sharingan!
Although he already possessed the Sage Body and a large number of Hashirama cells to alleviate the burden caused by his Mangekyō Sharingan…
He had essentially already developed every ability his Mangekyō currently possessed.
If he wanted to fully unlock Perfect Susanoo—
If he wanted to truly grasp the complete power of the Sharingan—
Then there was only one path left.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
And after awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, because he possessed Hashirama cells within his body…
He would be able to awaken the Rinnegan!
Every shinobi who awakened the Rinnegan possessed unique abilities.
Madara had Limbo: Border Jail.
In the original story, Uchiha Sasuke possessed Amenotejikara.
As for his own ability…
Ning Feng honestly didn't know.
Suppressing the excitement surging in his heart, Ning Feng stared at the scroll in delight.
Originally, he had already planned to exchange dungeon points for one eventually.
This scroll was extremely rare and precious, so very few players possessed it.
Most likely, the player who had owned it had simply stumbled upon incredible luck and planned to save it for upgrading a powerful Bloodline Limit later.
Instead…
It had fallen straight into Ning Feng's hands.
Ning Feng happily examined the scroll.
This trip truly hadn't been wasted.
Although the previous Bloodline Elimination scroll had upgraded his Bloodline Limit into Dust Release…
The legendary Sage's Eyes were undeniably even more tempting than a Bloodline Elimination!
Without hesitation, Ning Feng immediately used the scroll.
"You have successfully used the Bloodline Upgrade Scroll!"
"Detected Bloodline Limits already possessed: Explosion Release, Lava Release, Wood Release, Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Please select a bloodline to upgrade!"
"Mangekyō Sharingan."
Ning Feng silently chose in his mind.
As expected, the upgrade target could be selected freely.
Although this scroll lacked the overwhelming effect of evolving Bloodline Limits into Bloodline Eliminations—and was far less valuable than the previous scroll—
For Ning Feng, this Bloodline Upgrade Scroll was still priceless.
"Your Bloodline Limit, Mangekyō Sharingan, has successfully evolved into Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"
The moment the system notification sounded, Ning Feng immediately felt scorching heat spread through both eyes.
His previously depleted ocular power rapidly regenerated and replenished itself.
Even his slightly deteriorated eyesight gradually recovered completely…
At the same time, Ning Feng felt his perception and visual prowess rise dramatically!
"Detected: Sage Body and Hashirama Cells!"
"Rinnegan acquired!"
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Feng has successfully awakened the one-and-only Rinnegan, taking another step toward becoming the next Sage of Six Paths! Let us all congratulate him!
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Feng…
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Feng…
Three consecutive World Announcements exploded through the player base like deep-sea bombs!
The entire player community erupted once again!
Very quickly, the accusations condemning Ning Feng for killing hired ninja players were completely drowned out.
"Uchiha Feng-sama awakened the Rinnegan?!"
"I'm from the Uchiha Clan too! I only awakened a two-tomoe Sharingan and I'm already considered a famous genius nearby! What the hell is a Rinnegan? I've never even heard of it!"
"If the system announced it, then it has to be something insane!"
"Who's the Sage of Six Paths anyway? Some super-powerful ninja? He actually calls himself a sage?"
At this point, the players' overall strength levels were still far too low.
Most of them hadn't even heard of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan yet.
As for the Rinnegan?
At present, there were only two pairs in the entire ninja world.
Naturally, none of them knew anything about the Sage of Six Paths either.
…
Meanwhile, Ning Feng silently experienced the explosive surge of entirely new power flooding through his body.
"Detected: You are the first player to possess the Rinnegan… Special mission unlocked!"
"Inheritance Mission: Sage of Six Paths!"
"You are the first ninja to awaken the Rinnegan and the closest existence to the current Sage of Six Paths! Gather the Nine Tailed Beasts and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and you shall become the first true Six Paths-level existence!"
"Mission Progress: Gather all Nine Tailed Beasts (4/9) and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path! Awaken the Rinnegan!"
"Mission completion rewards will be extraordinarily generous!"
Ning Feng accepted the mission in a daze.
To become the Sage of Six Paths…
That had always been his goal.
The Sage of Six Paths was unquestionably the strongest existence in the ninja world!
As long as he sealed the Ten-Tails within himself and became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki while possessing the Rinnegan and mastering Yin-Yang Release—
He would become the second Sage of Six Paths!
Ecstasy surged through Ning Feng's heart.
He had never expected such an enormous surprise from awakening the Rinnegan!
"That guy… it's the Rain Shadow!"
Far away, the Kumogakure shinobi finally regained their senses and spotted Ning Feng standing in the distance. They immediately shouted warnings to their comrades.
Ning Feng frowned slightly.
He hadn't expected those shinobi to still remain here even after surviving the meteor strike.
Were they truly not afraid of him using a second one?
Now that he possessed the Rinnegan, using Tengai Shinsei had become even easier than before.
He no longer even needed to worry whether his body could withstand summoning larger meteors…
Because his Rinnegan ability—
Was extremely special!
