Everyone stared at the changes in Ning Feng's eyes in shock.
"That's the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"No… the pattern is even more complicated…"
Ning Feng smiled faintly.
At this moment, he had fully activated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Compared to his previous Mangekyō Sharingan, not only were the patterns more intricate, but the aura they emitted was colder and far more oppressive.
Then his pupils transformed once again.
The patterns slowly rotated and spread outward…
A pair of purple Rinnegan identical to Nagato's suddenly appeared within Ning Feng's eye sockets!
"The Rinnegan?!"
Yahiko and Konan stared at Ning Feng's eyes in astonishment before instinctively turning to compare them with Nagato's.
"No need to compare. That's definitely the Rinnegan!"
Nagato swallowed hard.
As someone who already possessed the Rinnegan himself, he understood perfectly well that the pressure emanating from Ning Feng's eyes was identical to his own.
"What's going on? How does Lord Feng also have the Rinnegan?!"
The three of them were once again too shocked to even speak.
After all—
The Rinnegan was the legendary Sage's Eyes!
And clearly, such eyes should only exist once in the world.
Yet now Ning Feng possessed the Rinnegan too…
Their brains simply couldn't process it.
"So… the final evolution of the Sharingan really is the Rinnegan."
Just as the three stood there speechless from shock, a hoarse and sinister voice slowly echoed from the shadows outside the doorway.
"Who's there?!"
Yahiko and Nagato immediately turned back-to-back and roared toward the entrance in vigilance.
"Looks like Lord Feng obtained something truly extraordinary this time."
The owner of the voice gradually stepped closer, footsteps becoming clearer.
A pale-skinned figure with long black hair slowly emerged from the doorway.
"Orochimaru. So you already had suspicions before this?"
Ning Feng looked toward Orochimaru.
In the original story, Kabuto once mentioned that he and Orochimaru had researched and theorized about the Sharingan.
But that was during the Fourth Great Ninja War over a decade later, without Ning Feng's butterfly effect changing history.
Yet Orochimaru had already begun researching this possibility over ten years earlier?
"Heh… Lord Feng still underestimates my research capabilities. Your blood samples provided me with a tremendous amount of data."
Orochimaru shrugged.
This theory only emerged after obtaining Ning Feng's blood samples and Hashirama Senju's cellular data, then cross-referencing them against intelligence gathered from the Uchiha Clan.
"It's the combination of Hashirama Senju's cells and Uchiha blood, correct?"
A sinister smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, excitement causing a flush to spread across his pale complexion.
"This is the power of the Sage of Six Paths, isn't it?"
"A body comparable to Hashirama Senju… alongside eyes capable of evolving into the Rinnegan…"
"No, Orochimaru. Your theory is correct—but incomplete."
Ning Feng raised a hand, interrupting Orochimaru's enthusiastic conclusion.
He withdrew the Rinnegan before turning toward Konan and the others.
"Go arrange reinforcements for the Konoha battlefield."
"Remember this—send out the elites. Only chunin and genin need to remain behind for the Rain Village front."
"Yes!"
The three immediately accepted the order and hurried off to make preparations.
Seeing Ning Feng dismiss them, Orochimaru assumed Ning Feng was finally about to reveal the truth behind the Sage of Six Paths.
Instead, Ning Feng merely glanced at him coldly and said:
"Orochimaru, extract the Tailed Beasts first. Then I'll tell you the truth about the Sage of Six Paths."
"If merely possessing Hashirama cells and Uchiha blood were enough like you suggested… then wouldn't every Uchiha injected with Hashirama cells become the Sage of Six Paths?"
Orochimaru froze.
According to his own deductions…
That did indeed seem logical.
…
"This is bad!"
On the Konoha battlefield, Kakashi Hatake's jonin uniform was already torn and damaged in numerous places.
Meanwhile, he firmly gripped a massive executioner blade in his hands.
It was none other than Zabuza Momochi's Kubikiribōchō.
At this moment, Kakashi stared grimly toward the edge of the battlefield.
A coffin was slowly rising from the ground there!
A terrifying and oppressive aura instantly locked onto him, causing even his active Sharingan to tremble.
"What now?"
Feeling the tiny amount of chakra left inside his body, Kakashi's heart sank.
His chakra reserves were already naturally limited, and after enduring multiple fierce battles, he was nearly exhausted.
If another monster like Zabuza appeared right now, there was no way he could continue fighting.
At this stage of his life, Kakashi had not yet reached his peak as a shinobi.
His chakra reserves were lacking to begin with.
Combined with the burden of the Sharingan, even using his improved Lightning Cutter now required extreme caution.
Meanwhile, enemy players on the battlefield had all recognized the highly visible Kakashi Hatake and desperately wanted to kill him for loot.
As a result, Kakashi's condition was currently terrible.
THUD.
At the battlefield's edge, the coffin lid slowly opened…
A figure wearing layered blue armor from the Warring States Era gradually emerged beneath the sunlight.
His face was stern and resolute, and he wore Konoha's forehead protector.
"That's…"
Kakashi's Sharingan widened as he stared fixedly at the figure appearing on the battlefield.
Every Konoha ninja would instantly recognize this man.
The Second Hokage—
Tobirama Senju!
"This is…"
Far away from the battlefield, Tobirama Senju had only just returned to the world and was curiously clenching his hand—
When Kabuto immediately seized control of his body!
Did anyone seriously expect a shinobi like the Second Hokage to willingly attack Konoha ninja?
Tobirama's chakra reserves were monstrous.
Any ninja capable of shining brightly during the era of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara was already extraordinary beyond imagination.
So the moment Tobirama was reincarnated, Kabuto drastically increased the level of control using the massive amount of Hashirama cells embedded within the reincarnated body.
This ensured that even though the Second Hokage's reincarnated strength was slightly weakened—
He would obey Kabuto completely!
"Tobirama… I wonder how you'll feel after slaughtering your own village's ninja?"
Madara chuckled darkly.
He understood perfectly well that the Senju brothers valued their village above nearly everything else.
Forcing them to personally massacre Konoha ninja…
Was an exceptionally cruel thing.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion!"
On the battlefield, Tobirama's expression turned lifeless as he rapidly formed hand seals and unleashed his strongest and widest-range Water Release technique!
Across hundreds of meters of battlefield ahead of him, a gigantic water vortex rapidly spread outward.
At the same time, violent streams of water surged upward from within the vortex.
The razor-sharp currents sliced through both Konoha ninja and White Zetsu alike like blades!
The terrifying spectacle instantly drew the attention of every Konoha shinobi present!
"Lord Second?!"
"That's… the Second Hokage's signature Water Release technique!"
