With Kazuki's assurance, Mito passed away with a smile.
However, the moment Mito died, the Chakra on Kazuki's body instantly underwent a drastic change, becoming much colder. After a brief period of coldness, a surge of Yang Release Chakra erupted.
Kazuki's six tomoe Rinnegan appeared before everyone. Although it wasn't the first time they had seen Kazuki's Rinnegan, seeing it again and feeling the terrifying ocular power within his eyes, both Hashirama and Tsunade, among others, felt immense pressure.
However, something that shocked them happened once more. The tomoe on Kazuki's Rinnegan rotated rapidly, then new tomoe appeared.
Seven-Tomoe!
Eight-Tomoe!
And then, both his eyes transformed into Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Has he evolved again?" Tobirama's heart sank.
Kazuki had undergone an atavism, he was no ordinary Uchiha and could even rival their ancestor, the Sage of Six Paths. Yet, he was ultimately like other Uchiha. After losing "love," under emotional fluctuation, Kazuki's eyes evolved once again. Although they weren't very knowledgeable about the Rinnegan, they could still count the number of tomoe on the Rinnegan. The Uchiha clan truly is sensitive and longs for affection.
Tobirama was quite relieved that Kazuki's eyes could evolve again due to his sister-in-law's death. Kazuki was very emotional, and his sister-in-law's previous care for him was not in vain.
The stronger Kazuki's power became, the more beneficial it was for them. After all, he and Hashirama were already dead. Konoha needed Kazuki to protect it, especially during this period after Mito's death, when Kushina was still unable to control Kurama's power.
What's more, their goal was not to deal with other villages, but to confront powerful enemies from outside the Ninja World.
Kazuki covered his eyes and let out a light sigh.
The Six Tomoe Rinnegan evolved into the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, significantly increasing his ocular power, and at the same time, he awakened two new ocular techniques.
One ocular technique was Chakra Edible Creation, an ocular technique that could absorb an opponent's Chakra and refine it into pills, which, when consumed, could enhance one's own power.
The other was an ocular technique named Spirit Control.
Chakra Edible Creation is a very powerful ocular technique, Isshiki had used this technique.
Considering this, could he absorb the Chakra of other ninjas to permanently increase his strength?
Those tens of thousands of Iwagakure and Kirigakure ninjas died in vain. If he had possessed Chakra Edible Creation earlier, he could have used this ocular technique to absorb their Chakra, thereby increasing his strength. Or he could use it on the Tailed Beasts to increase his strength.
Soon, Kazuki realized that this idea was wrong.
He could indeed perform Chakra Edible Creation on the Tailed Beasts and allow them to slowly recover, but these Tailed Beasts needed to absorb the surrounding Natural Energy to recover. This planet had been planted with a God Tree very early on, and it was one of the few worlds that had not completely lost its vitality after a God Tree was planted.
Most critically, over the past thousand years, while the life energy of this planet had somewhat recovered, it still had not returned to its state before the God Tree was planted. Constantly consuming Natural Energy would naturally cause the vitality of this planet to dissipate.
Kazuki's gaze deepened. He suddenly thought of a possibility.
The Chakra of those deceased souls was probably not only used by Hagoromo and Hamura to enhance their Chakra, but it might also have become nourishment for this world.
If that were the case, he would genuinely exclaim that the Sage of Six Paths and his brother were truly filial sons and grandsons of this world.
Otherwise, even if the vitality of this planet could recover, it wouldn't be this fast.
Kazuki regarded the Ninja World as his territory, so he naturally wouldn't allow the future Ōtsutsuki to destroy the Ninja World. Similarly, he also hoped that the Ninja World would get better and better.
If the Sage of Six Paths had done that, then Kazuki wouldn't mind raising some ninjas, encouraging them to procreate abundantly, and then letting them kill each other. After all, the better the Ninja World was, the more beneficial it was for him.
Since the Tailed Beasts needed Natural Energy to recover their Chakra, Kazuki would not absorb their Chakra. As for the Chakra of ordinary ninjas, after a slight perception, he couldn't be bothered.
If he relied on these Chakra pills to increase his strength, the harvest would probably not even compensate for the ocular power consumed during that time.
Unless he encountered someone like Kushina, Indra or Asura Chakra, it would be pointless.
Of course, Kazuki would not use them for Chakra Edible Creation, so the main purpose of this ocular technique would only be one. The Ōtsutsuki were his true targets for hunting.
Thinking of Momoshiki and others, Kazuki's heart surged with excitement. If it were just them, he felt he could fight them one-on-one.
There was also an Ōtsutsuki in the Ninja World currently, Isshiki. Kazuki thought of his power. He had confirmed with his eyes that he probably couldn't defeat him for now. He still needed to get stronger, or wait until he absorbed the Seven-Tails as well.
Kazuki could feel an eye gestating on his forehead. Once he absorbed the Seven-Tails' Chakra, the eye on his forehead would be successfully nurtured. At that time, even against Isshiki, he would be able to fight.
At that time, it might even attract the Ōtsutsuki from the universe, which would be a continuous source of nourishment for him.
By relying on Chakra Edible Creation, he can absorb their Chakra, treating them as his nourishment to strengthen himself, and there was also the combat arena. Perhaps in just a few years, he could rival that Otsutsuki God.
As for Spirit Control, as the name suggests, Kazuki can control souls to fight for him and even give them physical forms. As long as he doesn't die, these souls can recover.
Was it because he didn't want Mito to die?
