Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

“Lord Rhodes! Then we’ll stay in your mirror space for the next few days and not go anywhere else,” Brin said.

"Yes! I'll have to trouble you all to stay here for the next few days. I'll take you away once these eyes have fully developed. Konan and Nagato, your initiation ceremony will be held in a few days." Rhodes sat down on the ground, supported by Yamato, Sylvanas, and Bryn.

Nagato and Konan nodded.

Rhode was curious about what the Rinnegan would eventually become. What would happen from fel energy, life, the Soul-Soul Fruit, or even Haki from the One Piece world?

Outside the mirror space, Konoha ninjas had arrived and begun searching, but could only find a disguised tree and some remaining traces of a fight.

“Hmph! It seems the enemy has already left,” Morino Ibiki said.

"The ninja dogs did smell the enemy. They must have left not long ago, probably less than a few minutes ago," several ninjas with ninja dogs said with frowns.

"Hyuga clan members, come over here and use your Byakugan to observe them and see if they've gone far."

"Byakugan!" A member of the Hyuga clan suddenly bulged the veins in his eyes and looked around.

"Nothing at all, there's no one around. That's not right! If they just left, they shouldn't have escaped my sight."

Chapter 240 Rhodes' Rinnegan, Life and Fel Energy

"No! The other party was just here. They must have left using some kind of special ninjutsu, perhaps a reverse summoning jutsu, or maybe a space-time ninjutsu," a Konoha ninja said, frowning.

It's impossible to evade the Byakugan's detection, so if the other party wants to leave, they either need to use the legendary space-time ninjutsu or the reverse summoning technique.

“That makes sense. One of the enemies in this attack was a master of psychic magic.”

This attack by the enemy dealt a huge blow to Konoha Village. Many Jonin were killed in battle, and the final attack wiped out the entire village, resulting in the deaths of a large number of civilians.

"What's that?" Naruto suddenly frowned and looked at some green things.

Under a tree, there was a patch of green, emanating an eerie aura.

These are some of the effects caused by Rhodes and Kaido using fel energy. Even a few minor sorcerer spells can cause some fel energy contamination in the surrounding area.

Rhodes's warlock magic imbued some of the surrounding terrain with fel energy, turning several trees and puddles of water into an eerie green.

"It doesn't look like anything good! Could it have been left behind by the enemy?"

"Let's collect some first and see." One of the ninjas immediately stepped forward to collect the green things.

"Watch out!" Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened suddenly as he reached out to stop the ninja who was trying to collect the evil energy.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Sakura Haruno asked.

"That's extremely dangerous! My Sage Mode senses it! This thing is extremely dangerous. Sealing Team, come out and seal it away immediately," Naruto Uzumaki said.

The moment Naruto saw that green thing, his Sage Mode energy began to issue a frantic warning: that thing was extremely, extremely evil.

Several ninjas holding scrolls immediately stepped forward, collected all the remaining evil energy contaminants from Rhode, and sealed them away.

"Rhodes, they seem to have discovered some residual fel energy from the recent battle!" Kaido said.

“Ignore them. He’ll leave if he can’t find anything,” Rod said.

The Book of Seals of Konoha Village should contain detailed training methods for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but Rhodey still preferred Kabuto Yakushi's improved version.

According to the timeline, the Five Kage Summit should be held soon! Uchiha Sasuke's attack on the summit will lead to the official start of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

During this time, Kabuto Yakushi will appear to search for Obito Uchiha, which will be Rhodes's opportunity. Like Orochimaru, Rhodes is a rare talent, even more valuable than Konan and Nagato.

So Rhodes intends to recruit him. You respect Orochimaru the most, don't you? You crave immortality? Then I'll grant you that wish!

If Obito Uchiha gets in the way, just kill him too.

As for the plot? Ha! I'm not going to follow your plot!

I eliminated Nagato prematurely, which caused Naruto's most important and fateful battle to be lost, and even led to Kakashi's immediate demise.

So what if I killed the mastermind in the subsequent Fourth Shinobi World War? Obito Uchiha's dual Kamui Sharingan was still quite impressive.

Wait a minute! If Kakashi really dies, then Danzo's guy will probably have his eye on his Kamui Sharingan! Rather than letting him get it, I'd rather have it!

There's also Danzo's Sharingan. These eyes are quite powerful, especially the Izanaki technique. It would be worth taking them back to study.

Or we could wait until Danzo retrieves Kakashi's Sharingan before coming to ambush him.

However, he couldn't take action himself at this moment, but he was also a little worried if Kaido were to make the move, as his father-in-law Kaido was very strong.

But even with such hiding methods and life-saving techniques, the enigmatic ninja Rhodes was still somewhat uneasy, as Danzo still possessed a sealing technique.

Although the final result was sealing a bridge, Kaido, who has no spatial abilities, was indeed not able to withstand this attack.

Sylvanas is the same; although the Queen's combat strength is indeed impressive, she is still at the level of a mortal and does not have a significant advantage when fighting against the ninjas here.

"What are you thinking about, Rhodes?" Sylvanas asked.

“I’m thinking there are still a few good things I can get back, but my eyes are indeed in a weakened state right now, and more than 90% of my power is needed to maintain their evolution,” Rhodes said.

Forget it! Let's wait a bit longer! These eyes will need a few more days to develop, and the Five Kage Summit should also take a few more days. We should be able to make it in time then.

For the next few days, everyone stayed obediently in the mirror space created by Rhode, while Konoha Village began some reconstruction work, burying the dead civilians and ninjas.

Because of Rhodes' appearance, the fighting strength of Konoha Village was greatly affected, and even Konoha's Copy Ninja Kakashi was killed in battle.

Although Naruto Uzumaki returned in time, he did not become a hero of the village as he did in the original story.

However, other things continued as usual. A few days later, an envoy from the Hidden Lightning Village arrived in Konoha.

He informed everyone that Uchiha Sasuke had infiltrated the Hidden Lightning Village and kidnapped their master, Killer Bee.

Therefore, the Fourth Raikage decided to convene a Five Kage Summit to discuss how to deal with the Akatsuki organization.

Danzo naturally became the Sixth Hokage, but publicly he was declared to be the acting Hokage.

"Naruto! Something terrible has happened! Kakashi, Kakashi-sensei's eyes have been gouged out!" Sakura Haruno rushed over anxiously.

"What? Kakashi-sensei! Why is this happening? He's clearly the village hero!" Naruto's expression changed drastically.

"This is an order from the new Hokage. I advise you not to interfere. Besides, the person is already dead. The Sharingan holds too many secrets, so it must be retrieved." A member of the Root organization stopped the group.

This little incident didn't change anything because of the members of Team 7; Kakashi's Sharingan was ultimately taken by Danzo.

Meanwhile, Danzo, accompanied by his two bodyguards, planned to attend the Five Kage Summit.

Inside a dark cave.

"That's how it is! So now I don't know where Nagato has gone, and Konan has also disappeared," Black Zetsu said helplessly.

He just wanted to see the two brothers fight! He did see the brothers fight, but strange things happened in Konoha Village.

The Six Paths of Pain, who were originally attacking Konoha Village, inexplicably lost their fighting ability and turned back into corpses, while Nagato and Konan simply disappeared.

"You mean they betrayed me and then disappeared with the Rinnegan?" Obito Uchiha asked, frowning.

What's going on?! Everything was under my control, but the most important item, the Rinnegan, has suddenly disappeared.

He had anticipated that Nagato would fail, but he hadn't expected him to simply disappear, which was quite unexpected.

"It seems that's the case right now. Are you still going to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War?" Black Zetsu asked.

The importance of the Rinnegan is self-evident; it was the key to reviving his mother, yet it was lost at this crucial moment.

He had already sent a White Zetsu clone to search that area, but they hadn't found a single trace.

These two people seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace or clue.

"There's one more thing: Kakashi Hatake died in this attack by the Six Paths of Pain."

"Now Danzo Shimura has retrieved his Sharingan. That Mangekyou Sharingan is yours, do you want it back?" Black Zetsu asked.

Only when both kaleidoscopes are combined can their maximum power be unleashed. Although Obito said he didn't care, he never retrieved his own kaleidoscope.

Black Zetsu had a very bad feeling that Obito's strength would increase significantly if he combined his two Mangekyou Sharingan. He suspected that the Rinnegan might have been taken by some hidden guys.

Therefore, it is essential to improve your own combat strength at this time.

"Really? That idiot was actually killed. How stupid. I understand. Let's retrieve his Blood Dragon Liquid! That'll be perfect for Sasuke to use."

"Danzo still has one of Shisui's Sharingan eyes, which we'll also take back this time," Obito Uchiha said.

Originally, Obito planned to transplant a Rinnegan into his other missing eye, but now it seems that getting his own eye back is the best option.

"I understand. I'll go inform Sasuke right away." Black Zetsu said, then sank into the ground and left.

Meanwhile, the Five Kage Summit was also held as scheduled. After several days of travel, the leaders of the five great ninja villages gathered in the Land of Iron.

Nine days have passed since Rhode was fitted with the Rinnegan and began to evolve. During this period, every three days, Rhode's Rinnegan would swell and ache, and he would experience some kind of fetal movement.

Today is the ninth day, and the last fetal movement is about to come. After this, these eyes will be fully formed.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Once again, a sound came from Rhodes' eyes. His two eyes merged perfectly into his eye sockets, connected to his optic nerve and the energy within his body.

"Did Rhodes succeed?" Sylvanas walked over and asked.

"Hmm! It's finally finished. I originally thought it would only take three or four days, but it actually took me a full nine days." Rhodes reached out and pulled off the white cloth covering his eyes.

A pair of green Rinnegan eyes with three tomoe on them appeared in their sockets, but the colors of the two Rinnegan eyes seemed to be slightly different.

One eye was a dark green tinged with fel energy, while the other was a vibrant green tinged with life; the power of life and fel energy flowed within Rhodes' eyes.

Rhode's Rinnegan controls evil energy in one hand and life in the other. He can also use the five chakra nature transformations, as well as the power of Yin and Yang. He can also use all the ninjutsu of his previous Rinnegan, and they have been enhanced.

“The green Rinnegan is completely different from Nagato’s Rinnegan,” Konan said.

“Because of my energy, these two Rinnegan have undergone different changes; one represents life, and the other represents destruction,” Rhodes said.

The power of the Rinnegan is to manipulate life and death. Life represents birth, while death is represented by one's own Soul-Soul Fruit and evil energy.

Rhodes was originally worried about how to improve his soul energy and then eliminate the influence of the Soul-Soul Fruit so that it could become his own ability.

Unexpectedly, this fusion with the Rinnegan resulted in the successful achievement of his goal. Now, all the abilities of the Soul-Soul Fruit reside in his right eye.

Now, Rod can eat his third Devil Fruit.

Although he had been nurturing his eyes these past few days, Rhode hadn't been idle. He had Nagato teach him how to refine chakra and learn several signature ninjutsu of the Rinnegan.

Rhode has complete control over all of the Rinnegan's ninjutsu and abilities.

During the process of developing the Rinnegan, Rhode also obtained the most crucial power in this world: chakra, a combination of cellular and spiritual energy. Rhode, possessing a demigod body, refined this chakra.

It was so enormous that even Nagato was somewhat impressed. The quantity and quality of Rhodes' chakra were stronger than any tailed beast he had ever seen.

"How is it? Has your strength changed at all? Although I taught you some of the Rinnegan's abilities, these are just the basic abilities that the Rinnegan comes with. You have developed a new Rinnegan, so there should be other powers as well," Nagato said.
