Chapter 68 Crimson Eyes
"Join the Hidden Cloud Village? Me?"
Orochimaru looked at Naruto with some surprise, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"Hehehe... Naruto-kun is such an interesting person. May I ask why? I'm very curious..."
Orochimaru, leading the way in ninja technology...
If it were anyone else, Naruto would definitely not be interested in asking.
Orochimaru is different. He's someone who can perfect the Impure World Reincarnation at this stage, research the Cursed Seal of Heaven and the Reanimation Jutsu, and even discover the connection between the Senju and Uchiha clans. Naruto feels that if given the opportunity, this guy could easily destroy the Otsutsuki clan.
Moreover, unlike other researchers who are blindly confident, this guy is absolutely meticulous and has a good understanding of people's hearts. He is very measured in everything he does.
"Knowledge is the most precious treasure of mankind."
"I have always believed that at the end of science lies all of humanity's ambitions: fame, wealth, status, and even... immortality."
Naruto glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the various experimental subjects soaking in the bottles and jars.
"I learned some things by chance, which led me to some conjectures about the origin of chakra and higher forms of life..."
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"That sounds tempting, but I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I really can't join Kumogakure."
Orochimaru licked his lips: "Back then, in order to study the tailed beast chakra, I orchestrated the Eight-Tails' rampage. If the guys from Kumogakure find out..."
Before he could finish speaking, two naked and undisguised killing intents instantly locked onto Orochimaru.
Behind Naruto, Mabui's gaze was gloomy.
Samui's face turned cold and stern as he drew his long sword with a clang: "So, it was you who caused the Eight-Tails' rampage back then?"
Orochimaru ignored her and simply shrugged at Naruto: "See? What did I tell you?"
"Is that so..."
Naruto was somewhat helpless; since Orochimaru had said that, it meant he was refusing.
Although he didn't care about such things, he still had to consider the feelings of his two older brothers.
"In that case, let's cooperate. I'll provide you with the direction, and you provide me with the results."
"So, Naruto-kun, which direction do you think I should focus my research in now?"
"Research on multiple bloodline fusions, cell activation and regeneration, and the soul."
Naruto beckoned to him: "Don't waste your time on ordinary people. I'll find you some research material later, but before that, I need to obtain natural energy."
"If it's just about obtaining natural energy, then the Earth Seal is enough..."
Orochimaru silently took out a small white snake and handed it to Naruto; he didn't dare to put it in Naruto's mouth himself.
"How do I do it?"
"Take a bite."
Naruto took the small snake and placed it on his forearm. The snake's fangs struggled to pierce Naruto's skin, and a chill spread from his arm to his entire body.
"Negative buff detected: Cursed Mark, removed! Gained natural energy."
whoosh—
The moment natural energy entered his body, saplings sprouted from the ground, and Naruto's kaleidoscope eyes spun rapidly.
Naruto could clearly feel that the power in his eyes seemed to have increased dramatically with the infusion of natural energy, and it was still growing.
Furthermore, the chakra within the body is constantly merging with natural energy, transforming into a completely new type of chakra.
"Is this Sage Mode?"
Naruto looked down at his hands and shook his head slightly: "No... a sage? That doesn't seem right either..."
As the natural energy and chakra within his body merged, Naruto could clearly sense that his life level was evolving towards a higher level.
Unlike the original Sage Mode where the prince mixed natural energy with chakra, this system, as Naruto expected, directly granted him the ability to extract natural energy.
Am I nature?
Seemingly realizing something, Naruto raised his hand, and a small sphere appeared in his palm.
Tailed Beast Ball!
Unlike the Tailed Beast Balls of the past, this Tailed Beast Ball is not purplish-black, but a deep red.
Naruto was stunned when he saw the deep red Tailed Beast Ball.
"Hey, you little rascal! Looks like something big has happened..."
Inside the mental space, Kurama suddenly sat up straight, looking at Naruto with surprise and uncertainty.
"This feeling is unmistakable, Naruto. You've completely transformed into a tailed beast... no, a dangerous being on an even higher level than a tailed beast!"
Naruto asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't told you yet that tailed beasts can be resurrected after they die..."
"The reason why the tailed beasts can be revived is because we ourselves are formed from the convergence of natural energy."
Kurama lowered its body: "Of course, we ourselves do not have the ability to convert natural energy into chakra. The source of this ability can be traced back to before the old man created us."
"Back then, all nine tailed beasts were one entity. You should understand that it was a true monster, known as the Ten-Tails!"
"So I became the Ten-Tails?"
Naruto was stunned. "I thought I was a sage, but you're telling me I'm the Ten-Tails?"
"Similar, but different."
Nine-Tails shook his head: "We tailed beasts are essentially made from the chakra extracted from the Ten-Tails, so we don't know much about it. However, there is one thing I can be sure of: no creature can produce its own natural energy."
"But just as you replicated my chakra and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, this foreign natural energy has also become a part of you and has taken root and sprouted within you."
Naruto closed his eyes and sensed that in the short time it took to talk, 20% of the chakra in his body had transformed into Sage Chakra, and his body was also continuously absorbing natural energy from the outside world, automatically mixing it with the chakra in his body to form Sage Chakra.
The tailed beast chakra, which had been difficult to fully combine with the chakra, melted away at this moment and blended together with the sage chakra without any hindrance.
Focusing his attention on natural energy, Naruto's mind stirred, and this natural energy transformed into chakra...
Seeing this, Naruto's heart sank.
Oh no, it really has become a ten-tailed fox!
It is still the Ten-Tails Pro Max, which can refine natural energy and automatically synthesize Sage Chakra without needing to draw from the outside world!
If Otsutsuki sees this, he will search high and low, to the ends of the earth, to love and seek him for ten thousand years.
Thinking of this, Naruto quickly exited the mental space and, before Orochimaru could speak, used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Mabui and the others away.
Then he came to a deserted beach, sat down cross-legged, and waited for the chakra within his body to complete its transformation.
His pupil power continued to grow, quickly soaring to an unbelievable level. The excessively powerful pupil power caused his eyes to swell and ache.
Finally, at the moment when all the chakra in his body transformed into Sage Chakra, Naruto felt that his eyes also underwent some kind of strange change.
He slowly opened his eyes, and in the sunlight, a pair of crimson Rinnegan shone brightly.
Naruto clenched his fist, feeling the power that had increased several levels compared to the past, and a smile appeared on his lips.
All things in the universe…
It seems that it doesn't necessarily have to be Indra?

(PS: The Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan is a genetic product of the Ten-Tails' power. The explanation of the power of all things in the original work is too vague and ambiguous. According to the author's understanding, it should be a higher level of power that is generated by the combination of the Sage's body and the Sage's eye power, including but not limited to the Rinnegan.)
Because the protagonist can generate his own natural energy, he becomes a life form similar to the Ten-Tails, capable of directly absorbing natural energy, thus pushing the Sharingan to a higher level.
It is a brand new Rinnegan obtained by the Ten-Tails evolving into the Divine Tree, rather than a genetically complete one like Madara's, or a purple Rinnegan that is a return to one's ancestral roots.
Here's an explanation: the author came up with this unconventional way of awakening the Eight-Tailed Fox's eye while researching, after seeing that its tail could be used to create the Divine Tree. Please feel free to discuss any differing opinions rationally.
