[Otsutsuki Bloodline: 79%]
"Thirteen rumors provided me with sixty-five percent bloodline concentration, while the Blood Hand's collection provided me with fourteen percent, including blood from the Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, and others."
"Among them, Uchiha Obito gave me a surprise."
Rasa had previously designated Tsunade as the target for obtaining blood.
After all, the current Senju bloodline, based on his perception, was the purest.
But Uchiha Obito, who had been transplanted with Hashirama's cells, also contained a portion of extremely pure Senju bloodline within his body, perfectly replacing Tsunade's role.
"I'm only one percent away from reaching eighty percent."
"In truth, the gap isn't large anymore."
"After all, the points for the fourteenth rumor are already rising rapidly."
Even if Rasa did not push it from the shadows, this fourteenth rumor would still spread widely under the promotion of the other forces in the shinobi world.
After all, this matter was far too huge.
Kumogakure had been destroyed to such an extent. Something like this had happened for the first time in the entire shinobi world.
Even Kirigakure, which had already fallen from the status of a great shinobi village, had never suffered damage like that.
Furthermore, the plan to collect jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts forced every shinobi village to pay attention.
Such an enormous force, no matter whose hands it fell into, would be a disaster.
"I believe we other shinobi villages should unite and launch a punitive campaign against Konoha and the Akatsuki. Although we do not know their purpose, what they seek is definitely enormous."
"And it is certainly a massive conspiracy."
"Once they succeed, it will not be good for any of our other shinobi villages."
Onoki made his decision.
"This concerns a major crisis for the shinobi world. This is no longer a time when anyone can remain untouched. Let this old man take the lead."
Very soon, letters were sent out from Iwagakure toward the various shinobi villages.
Sunagakure.
Rasa looked at Onoki's secret letter in his hand, not paying it much attention.
By comparison, Rasa cared far more about his own eyes reflected in the mirror.
"I can faintly feel that these eyes seem about to undergo some kind of change."
"There are two methods for the Byakugan to evolve."
"One is to fuse the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, which may produce a special transformation and evolve into the Tenseigan."
"Just like when Otsutsuki Toneri took Hyuga Hanabi's eyes and later awakened the Tenseigan."
"The second is to fuse enough Byakugan from the Otsutsuki clan."
"At present, I have fulfilled neither condition."
Rasa stared at the eyes in the mirror.
"As for the evolution of the Sharingan."
"My Otsutsuki bloodline, combined with Indra's power, allowed me to awaken the Sharingan."
"And almost every member of the Otsutsuki clan possesses the Rinnegan. The reason I did not have it before was simply that my bloodline concentration was insufficient. Now, I have probably reached the level where the Rinnegan can awaken naturally?"
Rasa's thoughts stirred.
[Points: 1000!]
"It's here!"
Rasa did not hesitate and directly performed the final draw.
[Congratulations, Host. You have completed your one-hundredth draw and triggered the guarantee. You have obtained an S-rank item: Otsutsuki Bloodline, 5%.]
"Use it!"
The next instant, Rasa's Otsutsuki bloodline directly broke through eighty percent, reaching eighty-four percent.
At the same time, Rasa saw it.
In the mirror, his eyes first revealed the shape of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Then the patterns on them began to change.
A faint golden color appeared.
Spiral-like markings emerged over them.
"Rinnegan!"
A surge of information violently poured into Rasa's mind.
Rasa could not help revealing a strange expression.
"My Rinnegan ability is actually like this?"
Rasa did not know exactly how Rinnegan abilities were produced.
Generally speaking, there would be some common abilities, but also unique abilities. Different Rinnegan users possessed different powers, but without exception, all of them were powerful.
Rasa had originally thought that once the Rinnegan appeared, a new ability would naturally emerge.
But now, Rasa realized his situation was not like that.
Instead, it chose one ability from those he already possessed and elevated it to the extreme.
"It's somewhat similar to the S-rank Ninjutsu Transformation Card."
"But this isn't an S-rank transformation. It should be an SS-rank transformation."
"And it probably isn't based on the name, but on the technique itself."
"So I can't consider it from the name. I have to consider the foundation of the technique. Techniques that are too weak are unnecessary."
Rasa seriously began thinking about which ninjutsu would be best for him to choose.
After all, Rasa currently possessed quite a few S-rank ninjutsu.
Sand Soldier Manifestation, Quicksand Displacement, Crescent Moon Sand Dune, Antlion Pit, Body Separation Technique, Sand Transformation, God Anubis, Designated Target Body Transformation Technique, Sand Rain, Electromagnetic Cannon, Grant S/N, Situation Awareness, Surface Fissure Technique…
"The first Rinnegan ability should focus on preserving my life."
"After all, only by staying alive will I have greater opportunities."
Rasa's gaze landed on Quicksand Displacement, Body Separation Technique, and Sand Transformation.
"Among these three, choosing Quicksand Displacement should be relatively better."
"The latter two have strong life-preserving ability, but they are weak against sealing."
"Movement, however, does not have that concern."
Rasa made his decision.
The next instant—
Rasa felt a strange change appear in that Rinnegan of his.
Before long, a wave of information returned to him.
[Quicksand Displacement]
[—You can cross space and move to any position within your line of sight where sand exists.]
Rasa raised an eyebrow.
This ability reminded Rasa of Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan ability, Amenotejikara.
But the two were somewhat different.
Amenotejikara allowed Uchiha Sasuke to swap positions with objects within close range and within his line of sight.
Quicksand Displacement allowed Rasa to move to any position within his line of sight where sand existed.
In truth, there was not much difference between swapping positions and moving.
Amenotejikara's advantage was that it did not have the restriction of sand. Any object within close visual range could be used.
But Rasa's Quicksand Displacement had its own advantage.
Namely, it was not limited to close range.
It had the condition of requiring sand, but the range Rasa could move across was far greater than Uchiha Sasuke's Amenotejikara.
As for the issue of sand—
For Rasa, once he entered combat, a battlefield without sand would be the abnormal situation.
As long as there was land, Rasa could create sand at any time.
"However, an endless ocean surface or the high sky without any land does indeed impose some restrictions on this ability."
"But…"
Rasa thought of something.
Just like in the original story, Gaara could carry a sand gourd on his back.
Rasa could absolutely carry a ninja tool like that as well.
That way, the weakness of Quicksand Displacement would be completely made up for.
