"Do not be surprised,"
"Something must have happened to that child..."
Even in the dark, whether one evolves or succumbs, when you look across the entire ninja world, who could have thought that a person like him, meant to be buried with the old era, not only survived but awakened the Rinnegan right before his death?
Madara slowly raised his head. His eyes were pitch black, leaving only the sockets. Strangely, even though he secretly transplanted the Rinnegan to Nagato, his blind eyes faintly emitted pupil power, which was unsettling...
Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, acknowledging, "Indeed, there are quite a few outstanding individuals among the new generation of the Uchiha clan... Lord Madara might not know yet, other than Uchiha Jin, Uchiha Shisui, and his brother named Itachi, all possess considerable swordsmanship... At least,"
"From the memories conveyed by White Zetsu, he couldn't withstand them..."
Uchiha Madara made a sound, seemingly tired or caught in reminiscence, and wearily moved his fingers, signaling Black Zetsu to leave, only instructing him: "Don't concern yourself with too much, follow the original plan."
Black Zetsu respectfully agreed, stepping back and slowly sinking into the ground, leaving only an elder on the verge of death and an emotionless demon, silently savoring solitude amidst desolation...
At last, as the dark river flowed and merged into an underground stream, a hoarse and eerie laugh slowly emerged...
"Hehe... Uchiha Jin, truly a fitting name..."
"Either obliterated in the ashes or reborn in the ashes, but you... my descendant, to which do you belong?"
"Glimmering..." The dark river merged into the underground river, flowing, unknown in direction...
At the Uchiha clan's compound, Fugaku's residence, water doused the courtyard, creating a stream and scattering numerous droplets of water...
On this pleasant afternoon, a faint snoring could be heard,
After several tosses and turns, having completely cleared his mind, Roy finally entered a deep sleep, stepping away from the world of Hokage, with one foot on the "Sea of Cognition," on that soft, fine sandy shore,
The youth shed his Uchiha Jin appearance and returned to his original form, his black hair transformed into silver in the blink of an eye, with the tips gleaming with golden luster, reflecting the seawater, shining brightly...
Roy calculated the time, about half an hour shy of midnight, he simply sat cross-legged, using imagination to transform [Impure World Reincarnation] into a scroll, materializing it...
Carefully beginning to study,
It must be said, as the creator of the [Impure World Reincarnation] technique, Hashirama Senju was doubly a genius in the realm of imagination... He actually thought of summoning the dead as cannon fodder to fight for him, even... implanting explosive tags in the brains of the dead, fully realizing the potency and effectiveness of "human bombs"... After briefly skimming through the development concept of [Impure World Reincarnation] and Tobirama Senju's notes, Roy couldn't help but ponder...
Had he not been born in the ninja world but in the Hunter World, he undoubtedly would have been a formidable Nen user, at least, in terms of [imagination], his boundless imaginative capability easily surpassed Hashirama Senju's enormous [Initial Numerical Value]!
'First extract the deceased's DNA, then use the DNA as a medium, follow a prescribed chakra route, perform the summoning technique, recalling the deceased's soul from Hades and housing it in a prepared vessel...'
'Finally, bury a kunai inscribed with seals in their occiput, eradicating the dead's consciousness, achieving complete control...'
Roy attempted to mobilize the Nen within him, following the chakra route set by Tobirama Senju, connecting to the netherworld... "Splish splash..." faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of the Styx flowing again...
That shore is Hades... This isn't some [Impure World Reincarnation], this is completely... forcibly summoning the spirits from the Styx!
Compared to [Reincarnation], after a brief attempt, Roy took a deep breath and preferred to call it —
[Otherworldly Summoning Technique]!
Suddenly, a ghostly Nen Light fluctuated erratically at the youth's fingertips...
After a concise understanding of the principle behind [Impure World Reincarnation], Roy withdrew the Nen Light, stood tall, and gazed sideways towards the entrance to reality... The colorful dreamscape corridor forked into various paths, among them the path belonging to great-grandfather Maha buried billions of wronged souls... The youth quietly observed, uncertain of the mass grave where they initially perished, or where in the Dark Continent it lies...
"Splash~" The azure Sea of Cognition lashed waves against the shore...
At the stroke of midnight,
As Roy surveyed the dream corridor,
In the Dark Continent, Nation of Hot Springs, Valentia known as the "City of Purification", along with Howling Moon Wolf King's territory, the Kobold's settlement, Bone City in River Valley Town, a secluded village simultaneously ushered in midnight.
Sending off the last batch of guests, Winnesh and Old Keller who just coaxed their children to sleep, one embraced his sister, the other held his wife, following Roy's instructions, silently reciting in their hearts: "Praise the sun."
A hazy invisible mist pervaded, as the two slowly closed their eyes, falling into slumber, wrapping their consciousness, through the dream, and soaring into the "collective" unconsciousness...
"Buzzing..." The colorful dream corridor once again engulfed two vortices, slowly rotating, reflecting the images of a Snake-man and a Kobold,
Roy timely withdrew his gaze, his mind shifted, summoning [Taiyi] through the [Soul Channeling], saying: "Taiyi, it's time to work..."
