The destructive power of the Rinnegan was not strong for him; even a full-power Shinra Tensei only destroyed Konoha Village, while his current full-power Kamehameha could destroy more than half of a city.
This was without loading the Goku template's stacked combat power and transforming into a Great Ape.
What he truly valued was the Rinnegan's resurrection ability, the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, which could resurrect all the Konoha Ninja of a deceased Village—a miraculous Ninjutsu that could even revive those whose bodies were completely obliterated.
Resurrecting the dead is a top-tier ability in any World.
Of course, the price was also very high; Nagato paid with his own life, and there were limitations—it had to be people who had only recently died.
But that didn't matter; his physique was incomparable to Nagato's, and he wouldn't resurrect so many people at once. Anyone worth using this ability on would undoubtedly be a very important person.
Secondly, he also valued the Rinnegan's ability to extract souls and read soul memories.
With his current soul power, when loading the Harry Potter template, he could easily erase Lord Voldemort's soul with Shinigami Power.
However, he couldn't read the memories within that fragment of Lord Voldemort's soul.
But with the Human Path ability of the Rinnegan, he could review all of Lord Voldemort's memories from beginning to end, learning all of Lord Voldemort's lifelong magic.
This included the Fiendfyre Curse, which was immensely powerful and no less than Amaterasu; Apparition, which allowed instant travel; the Memory Charm, which could modify and erase memories; and Legilimency, which allowed mind-reading, among others.
If he was lucky, and Lord Voldemort had researched Time Magic like the Time-Turner, he might even get a glimpse into the laws of time.
"I need to get ready for the gathering. Adam, you can look around by yourself. Pervy Sage, goodbye!"
After finishing his ramen, Naruto waved goodbye to Adam and Jiraiya and headed to the meeting point Kakashi had arranged.
After Naruto left, Jiraiya turned to prepare to leave; he still had important intelligence to report to Tsunade.
However, at that moment, Adam flashed in front of Jiraiya, his expression serious, and said:
"Jiraiya, I see a dark omen on your face; a death calamity will soon befall you!"
"A dark omen on my face too?"
Jiraiya was stunned at his words.
Of course, Tsunade had told him about Adam, and he knew that Adam possessed the same ability as the Great Toad Sage, occasionally being able to foresee the future, and at the cost of his life, even seeing some future scenes.
It was Adam's prophecy that had previously prevented Asuma from dying during a mission against the Akatsuki.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, you might die within the next few days."
Adam nodded.
Jiraiya sighed deeply:
"I didn't expect the Akatsuki leader to be so formidable."
If there was any danger in the next two days, it was that he had already pinpointed the Akatsuki Organization's base in Amegakure, and the Akatsuki Organization's leader was very likely the actual controller of Amegakure.
So, he originally planned to depart tonight after informing Tsunade, then infiltrate Amegakure tomorrow to find out who this mysterious Akatsuki leader truly was.
This entire process was bound to be incredibly dangerous, but he was confident that with his strength, he should be able to retreat safely.
However, judging by Adam's current demeanor, this trip would likely be a one-way journey.
"Ahem. My body has recovered quite a bit recently, and I can perform prophecies again. I can see some fragments, you know..."
Seeing Jiraiya lost in thought, Adam immediately spoke up to remind him.
Acquiring the Rinnegan was his goal, but saving Jiraiya, one of Konoha's Three Sannin, also shouldn't be for nothing.
This time, he planned to see if he could trade for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Although he could learn Apparition by reading Lord Voldemort's soul memories once he obtained the Rinnegan, he still needed to acquire the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Both were space-based abilities, yet each had its own advantages and disadvantages.
Apparition allowed instant travel to any place one had been before, but it had to be a place one had visited; one couldn't Apparate to unfamiliar locations.
Furthermore, Apparition produced a crackling sound like firecrackers, and it was accompanied by dizziness and a slight pause in the body both before and after the teleportation.
The Flying Thunder God Technique allowed instant travel to any location marked with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu Formula, but it couldn't be used in places without the formula.
The teleportation speed was extremely fast, with no pause, and the Fourth Hokage's title, Golden Flash, was earned because of this Jutsu.
Overall, Apparition was more suitable for everyday teleportation and long-distance travel, while the Flying Thunder God Technique was better for short-distance combat teleportation.
Although Wizards also used Apparition in combat, it was because Wizards' physical reaction capabilities were not much stronger than ordinary people, so the slight pause before and after Apparition was not a concern.
However, when facing powerful enemies with exceptional reaction abilities, Apparition's pause became its greatest weakness.
For example, if a Wizard tried to escape using Apparition against someone like Adam, he could guarantee that the opponent's head would be taken off in that brief moment of pause.
Moreover, the Flying Thunder God Technique had two combat advantages: first, it could transfer energy, like how the Fourth Hokage could transfer the Kyuubi's Tailed Beast Ball out of the battlefield to prevent massive damage.
Second, if he found an opportunity to leave a Flying Thunder God Jutsu Formula on an enemy, then even if the enemy escaped, no matter how far, he could instantly teleport to them and find them.
"No need. You already sacrificed life for Asuma's prophecy last time, and it's only been a little over a month; how could you have recovered?
I appreciate your good intentions. I already have a general idea of what will happen in the future.
However, I still need to trouble you to come with me to find Tsunade; there might indeed be something I need your help with."
Adam's words were cut short by Jiraiya.
In his opinion, since prophecy reduced life, Adam shouldn't have to pay such a heavy price again. He already knew that the so-called death calamity would surely coincide with his plan to infiltrate Amegakure tomorrow.
"Uh, okay."
Adam was momentarily stunned but could only nod.
He wondered if he had overstated the cost of prophecy before, but it didn't matter. Even if Jiraiya didn't let him make a more detailed prophecy, he would still need his help to save him when fighting Nagato.
Plus, he had also helped capture Hidan and Kakuzu alive earlier.
Trading for the Flying Thunder God Technique wouldn't be too much, would it?
"Tsunade, want to go out for a drink? I have something important to discuss with you."
A moment later, in the Naruto Building, Jiraiya, with his arm around Adam's shoulder, pushed open the Naruto's office door with a grin.
Seeing this, Tsunade immediately stood up and, pointing at Jiraiya's nose, burst out:
"You idiot Jiraiya, I am Hokage-sama now! How can I drink outside in broad daylight? What kind of image would that be?!"
However, the excitement and longing hidden in her eyes were hard to conceal from the speechless Shizune beside her.
