Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Naruto, in his shadow clone form, served as a relay station, transmitting Kurama's chakra.

Hinata remained silent, constantly observing Naruto with her Byakugan, paying attention to any subtle changes.

Another fourteen hours have passed.

"The event simulation is complete. What's next?" Ino asked.

"Cover up this part of the memory and start over." The shadow clone Naruto had communicated with Kurama and knew what the original meant.

"Before the eyes reach the point where they can't advance any further, keep repeating the cycle."

Ino understands perfectly, overwriting Naruto's memories of genjutsu he has already experienced, and starting all over again.

The long wait finally brought us to the second day.

Naruto, who had been keeping a close eye on the time, silently calculated that it would be twenty-seven hours after the three tomoe were achieved.

Hinata suddenly exclaimed, "It's here! That energy has appeared!"

Upon receiving Hinata's prediction, Ino unhesitatingly activated the power of her Mangekyou Sharingan, enhancing the genjutsu and greatly increasing its effectiveness.

Soon, the three tomoe in Naruto's eyes began to spin rapidly and connect with each other, forming a complete pattern.

Like a snowflake, or a shuriken, it has nine blades.

"Thankfully, it still works." Naruto, the shadow clone, was relieved.

Next, we'll see if the power of this kaleidoscope can sustain the main body until the Rinnegan is activated.

Hopefully it will work, otherwise it will be troublesome. The original body does not want to experience the pain of loss in reality, as that is an unbearable pain.

"Have some water, your lips are very dry," Hinata whispered.

Ino shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, but it's alright."

Time passes slowly.

The repeated illusions tormented Naruto to the point of unbearable pain, making him feel like he was dying and coming back to life.

As the actual controller of the genjutsu, Ino can see all of Naruto's actions within the genjutsu.

Heartache, unbearable pain, shock.

Amidst complex emotions, silence is the outward manifestation.

One day, two days, three days.

One week.

Concentrating intently, and having consumed some food and water, Ino, still nearing the end of her life, suddenly froze.

The illusion has been broken?

Looking at Naruto again, his eyes turned azure, reflecting the mysterious Six Paths Mark.

Realizing she had succeeded, Ino's vision went black, and she could no longer hold on and fainted.

Chapter 128 Hinata, the Little White Rabbit

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ino slowly opened her eyes and saw a somewhat familiar ceiling, as well as a very beautiful hand that was fixed in front of her.

Her skin was as tender as tofu, fair and flawless.

"Mental exhaustion isn't a big problem; just make sure you get some rest," Tsunade said casually as she stopped.

"Thank you for your help," Naruto said.

Tsunade shook her head and said it was nothing, then stared intently at Ino: "Your mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. The Yamanaka family's secret techniques shouldn't have such a great effect."

“It’s a spirit transformation technique. I gave it to Sakura, and Sakura gave it to her,” Naruto said.

"I see." Tsunade remained silent.

But he thought of his deceased lover, Kato Dan. The Spirit Transformation Technique was Kato Dan's signature ninjutsu, and also the secret technique that made him famous.

“Since you have mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique, it means your chakra control will be strong in the future, making you very suitable for learning medical ninjutsu,” Tsunade said.

"So, how about it? Would you like to become my disciple?"

Having established a master-disciple relationship, Tsunade did not linger and turned to leave.

Ino asked, confused, "Where am I...?"

"Konoha Hospital," Naruto said, pulling up a stool to sit down.

"You are unconscious. My chakra alone cannot completely heal you. It can only restore your physical condition to its peak."

"As for your mental well-being, since you haven't learned medical ninjutsu, I can't help you. I can only take you back to the village to find Tsunade."

"I see." Ino suddenly realized. "By the way, did your eyes successfully advance? What I saw before I fainted wasn't a hallucination, was it?"

“It worked.” Naruto said, his eyes changing.

The pupils and whites of the eyes disappeared, turning entirely azure, adorned with six stripes.

The power of his eyes was so immense that it inspired awe and fear; without enough courage, one might not even dare to meet his gaze.

Because they belong to Naruto, Ino wasn't afraid at all; she only felt a sense of oppression and some discomfort.

"These eyes... they're somewhat similar to the Rinnegan, one of the three legendary dojutsu described in the book," Ino exclaimed in amazement.

“It’s the Rinnegan,” Naruto said.

"Huh?" Ino was stunned.

“This is the Rinnegan,” Naruto said.

"..." Ino.

"Just looking at it like that, it doesn't seem like much, but to be defined as legendary, above the Sharingan and Byakugan, it must have something special about it," Ino said with a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, it's not a hallucination."

"You value this so much, if I mess it up, I don't know how I'll face you."

"Thank you," Naruto said solemnly.

"No need for thanks, I don't care about that." Ino waved her hand.

"I'm quite curious about your Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan. What are your eye techniques? Can you tell me?"

Such trump cards and secret weapons are not revealed unless the relationship is very close, and no one would even ask about them.

Ino, knowing this all along, still asked, though perhaps even she herself didn't know what her thoughts were.

He immediately used his vibrant chakra to heal Ino, and after realizing it was ineffective, he returned to Konoha to find Tsunade.

Naruto didn't know what his eye technique was like.

When Ino asked him about it, he closed his eyes and sensed it for a long time.

Seeing Naruto's increasingly strange expression, Ino asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“Uh…” Naruto scratched his face and sighed, “It’s very different from what I imagined. To be honest, I’m very disappointed.”

"What are you fantasizing about?" Ino asked curiously.

"Time, space." Naruto.

“Actually, that’s what it is.” Ino.

"Transformation, lightning, eight arms." Naruto covered his face, wishing he could go back and do it all over again, but he knew that was unrealistic.

The Sharingan is known as the eye that reflects the soul, a kaleidoscope eye technique that corresponds to the strongest desire of the person when they awaken. It's not something you can have just because you want it.

"What is all this...?" Ino was bewildered, wondering about the transformation and the eight arms.

What eight hands?

"My left eye is the Divine Shaman's eye, which can transform others," Naruto sighed.

"His right eye is Takemikazuchi, which releases lightning. It seems to be stronger than ordinary lightning release."

"Then came the Rinnegan, and Morishite... Sigh..."

"It has eight arms..."

"That's great, what else is there to complain about?" Ino said reassuringly.

"To make others transform, that is, to control others to transform? Like turning an enemy into a stone, a tree, or a turtle, what's the point of him hitting a hammer?"

"Lightning Release is one of the most destructive powers, but your lightning is even stronger than Lightning Release. Even if it's just a little bit, it's still incredible."

"As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. With eight extra hands, your advantage is unparalleled and extremely useful."

Naruto rubbed his forehead and shook his head, saying, "What kind of nonsense is this? Compared to time and space, it's utterly worthless."

Ino remained silent.

Naruto vigorously wiped his face, suppressing his negative and depressed mood, and asked Ino, "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"No, I'm in great shape." Ino sat up and stretched her arms.

"Do you need me to take you home?" Naruto asked.

"Is that alright?" Ino asked in surprise.

A minute later, Ino lay on her bed in her bedroom at home, muttering, "I thought they were going to walk me home... Flying Thunder God Technique... Humph..."

Konoha back mountain.

After taking Ino home, Naruto came straight here.

No matter how disappointed I am, it doesn't change the fact that it's a pupil technique. I can only comfort myself by saying that there is no strongest ability, only the strongest person.

Putting time and space out of his mind, Naruto said, "Give me a few to help me test my eye techniques."

“Let me do it. There’s always a difference between a shadow clone and a real person,” Hinata, who was training during the day, volunteered.

"I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you," Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun, don't underestimate me," Hinata said. "If you don't use that Thousand-Armed Buddha, it won't be so easy for you to beat me."

Indeed, unlike in the story, Hinata is very powerful now, and I need to change my mindset.

After thinking it over, Naruto nodded and said, "Alright, get ready, I'm coming."
