Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

Dust, how do you integrate this external power that doesn't belong to you into your body to help you awaken the Rinnegan?

Ban didn't ask; he wanted to quietly watch Chen perform for him!

"Snap!" Chen broke off the black rod from the section before it was inserted into the coffin, lifted it up, and stabbed it into his own shoulder.

Connected by a black rod, it can replace the 'touch' of the palm.

At this moment, the pattern on Chen's left pupil trembled with an unprecedentedly intense light!

Madara's eyes trembled: "This feeling of ocular power is not that of Boruyasu or Midubo. Could it be that ocular technique he has never used before..."

"This is my younger brother, the eye technique he unlocked for me through his death..."

—Twin flowers!

Chapter 35 Twin Flowers

—Twin flowers!

"Crackling!" A series of popping sounds came from Chen's body, and black substances began to seep through his collar.

"Whoosh!" Dust ripped off his robes, and apart from his head, his torso had completely transformed into the Hashirama artificial body fused with Madara on the golem. Even the direction of the wrinkles on his chest skin as the black rod retracted was exactly the same!

The wrinkles were smoothed out, and the small holes were completely shrunken.

Madara and Obito stared wide-eyed.

"You, what did you do..."

"Ahem." Chen cleared his throat, adjusted his chest resonance, and tried to make the voice sound closer to his own: "Twin Flowers, establish a life link with the target, and then completely copy the other's body, chakra, and the abilities corresponding to the body and chakra."

"In other words, I replaced my body with the Hashirama artificial body on the golem!"

Obito said, "A complete copy? But your face hasn't changed!"

Ban said, "It's not just the head, it's the eyes too!"

Chen smiled and brushed his face with his palm. With a "whoosh," his face transformed into the black face of the golem. When he brushed his palm away again, his face returned to normal.

"The face, or rather the head, can be switched freely between the twin flowers without affecting the power obtained through replication."

"As for the eyes, there's nothing we can do. The Twin Flowers are ultimately a 'pupil technique,' and the 'eyes' and 'pupil power' are things that the Twin Flowers cannot replicate."

So that's how it is. The twin flowers were created to replicate bodies and gain abilities related to those bodies.

Ban quickly processed the concept of twin flowers and asked, "Life link, can I understand it as a sharing of life states?"

"For example, if you copied my body and then stabbed yourself, I would also get hurt, right?"

Chen smiled slightly and said methodically, "Uncle Ban, first of all, I cannot copy you. The Twin Flowers can only work on living people, and you are a dead person resurrected by Edo Tensei. Of course, if you were a living person, then I could do what you just said."

Obito thought to himself: "Is it similar to Hidan's Death Possession Blood Curse? That's impressive."

His thinking was unique: "You use the Twin Flowers to copy the other person's body, achieve mutual injury through the life link, and then undo the Twin Flowers to return to your own body. Wouldn't that complete the world where only the opponent is injured?"

Chen Wan'er said, "It's amazing that you thought of this so quickly. However, the Twin Flower has limitations. Injuries sustained while in the Twin Flower state will be reflected back to your body. Even if the Twin Flower is removed, the injuries will remain."

"Based on this mechanism, it is extremely unwise to use twin flowers to copy an opponent, because once the opponent sees through it, they can use suicide to drag me to the underworld with them."

"Of course, if I started with the idea of ​​dying together with the other party, that's a different story."

"Oh, I see." Obito nodded after processing it. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he thought to himself: What do you mean... How come I figured that out so quickly? Do you think I'm not smart enough?

At that moment, Madara noticed a detail that Obito had missed: the old wound on Chen's chest had healed.

If this isn't a scar, but a 'wound'.

"Dust, if you were to get injured first, and then use the Twin Flowers to replicate someone else's body, wouldn't that cover up the original wound?"

As expected of you, Uncle Ban, you can analyze things to this depth in an instant.

"Yes. However, I have the Omota-ryu technique, which allows me to reset my status at any time. The Twin Flowers' damage-substitution mechanism is generally useless."

At this moment, Obito asked, "Dust, is this ability a one-time use? That is, after you copy a body once, you deactivate it, and if you want to use the same body again, you need to copy it again."

This is quite a valuable question, Obito... I admit I judged you based on the data. Kenji is your lower limit, not your upper limit.

"Theoretically, the replication of twin flowers is a one-time event, however..."

Chen raised his palm and pressed it against his right eye socket.

"I have the 'Abundant Imperial Cooking Master' which can store the spell status of Twin Flowers, so I can turn the trial card into a permanent skin."

"Of course, this 'permanent' is relative. If the damage is too great, it is not advisable to store it again."

"Buzz buzz buzz." Chen stored energy in his current replicated state, returned to his body, and put on the Divine Robe again.

——Feng Yu Qi Chui Zun!

"Crackling sounds...!" He transformed, his body becoming curvaceous with a prominent front and rear, his purple hair flowing freely, and his waist slender.

A mature female voice came through: "Konoha's female ninja, Uzuki Yugao."

"Crackling sounds!" This time, he transformed into a blonde, fair-skinned beauty with peaks of hair.

"The Legendary Sannin, Tsunade."

"Crackling sound!" Her reddish-brown curly hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her fiery red lips were alluring, and the wrinkles on her face did not detract from her beauty.

"The old water shadow hidden in the mist, illuminates the beauty of the underworld."

"Crackling sounds!" A woman with short, ear-length hair, exceptionally long and slender legs, and a strong sense of youthful charm!

"The shadow of the hidden rock, the black soil."

"Crackling sounds!" This time, it was a middle-aged beauty with long silver hair and dark skin.

"Former Raikage's secretary in Kumogakure, Mabui..."

"Crackling sounds!" This time, it was a young girl with blue hair, a graceful figure, and a beautiful face.

"This is... Jinghua, the Zen Master's granddaughter!"

Obito remarked, "You've got quite a stockpile, don't you have any men?"

Jinghua Chen smiled and said, "I look at ability, not gender."

Abilities, indeed... those ninjas just now, they all basically had special abilities, etc.

"Does that Uzuki Yugao count too?"

Chen spoke in a clear, melodious voice: "Her, the main thing I valued about her was her former ANBU identity, which would make it easier for me to enter and leave Konoha and the Corpse Confinement Area. I learned about that from Yugao."

Obito always felt that there was still something there, something subtle about it.

"Ah!" He suddenly remembered the beautiful woman's face that had flashed before Jinghua's eyes.

A linen-clad woman! Former secretary of Kumogakure! I remember she possessed the Heavenly Teleportation Technique, which allows her to teleport objects remotely. Back then, the White Zetsu's pre-battle intelligence report mentioned that she was stationed at the Allied Forces' command post. She should have been blasted into the sky by the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball that Madara and I released together.

But she became the living target for the Dust Twin Flower's replication!

This means she is still alive!

Could it be that dust appeared under such extremely harsh conditions?

Oh well, I guess I was just being naive.

If even Xiao Nan can survive, what miracle is it that Ma Buyi is alive?

But there was one thing that Obito was not confused about.

Mabui's abilities are outstanding, but I don't think she's so outstanding that Chen would risk the Ten-Tails' firepower to rescue her. Chen, could it be that you were trying to save someone else back then?

"Alright, let's stop here for now regarding the assessment of my abilities. You two seem to know me quite well..."

Chen smiled and replaced himself back into the 'cylindrical artificial body'.

After all, it's really not convenient to reveal all of the Twin Flowers' ability to conceal itself here.

At this moment, Madara said in a serious tone, "Dust, are you planning to keep carrying Hashirama's body with you? Our next step after leaving this space is to hunt the Tailed Beasts, right?"

"Once the Ten-Tails is resurrected, your symbiotic relationship with this artificial Hashirama body that relies on the Golem to survive will also come to an end."

"Furthermore, you must know that there is another necessary condition for awakening the Rinnegan, which is even more demanding than the combination of the power of Indra and Ashura."

—"On the verge of death."

Chapter 36 The Desperate Situation Arrives

My name is Uchiha Chen, and I am a transmigrator.

But I have never felt that my identity as a time traveler is anything noble or remarkable.

I simply had a perspective from God's point of view, giving me a broader view and more information than the indigenous people, that's all.

Life, love, battles, raising children, running a ninja village, and dealing with people—I take every aspect of my life seriously.

When I decided to awaken my own Rinnegan, one question kept lingering in my mind.

In what way am I stronger than the protagonists of the original timeline, Naruto and Sasuke?

Just because he's a time traveler, he knows information that they don't?

Just because he was lucky, he awakened a pupil technique that was beyond their common sense?

None of these are reasons for me to feel at ease stealing the spotlight from the two main characters.

The reason why protagonists can become protagonists is not only because they have great power, but because they have the belief that they will follow through to the end at all costs!

This is what is known as the "way of ninjutsu".

I have never denied Naruto and Sasuke's ninja way, just as I have never denied the 'Will of Fire'!

The reason they stood against me and were defeated by me in such a sorry state was simply because their perspective was relatively narrow, their intelligence was insufficient, and their understanding was inadequate, thus wasting more than ten years of their lives.

Putting all that aside, their belief in protecting the ninja world is no less than mine!

If I don't have the resolve to risk everything for the beliefs I want to uphold, then I don't deserve to claim that I'm leading the charge ahead of Naruto and his companion, along with Madara and Obito, to challenge the Otsutsuki clan!

The Twin Flowers, this younger brother traded his life for the technique I see, which allows me to transcend the limitations of non-reincarnated beings and forcibly acquire the hardware requirements to awaken the Rinnegan.

The rest is beyond the control of the hardware.

When I decided to open these eyes as a non-protagonist.

I had already decided how I would approach this extraordinary moment!

I might die here.

I might lose everything I've gained so far.

Even so, I'm willing to do anything!

No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction; great destruction leads to great construction; enlightenment for new life; born fearless; loving and free!

For the sake of all my loved ones, that they may be free from any external constraints and without having to compromise with anything they do not desire, I am willing to pay the price of my life to obtain the necessary guarantee to achieve this goal!

This is my ninja way, and it is also the great vow I made when I first appeared!

What I'm about to do will be like expelling years of accumulated waste; it might feel a bit like I'm pushing too hard.

But... I still have to do it, because I'm not the protagonist, so I have to work even harder than the protagonist!

"I know I'm on the verge of death."

Chen's expression became unusually solemn at this moment.

Before setting off, Chen had written a technique into his right eye using a 'delayed activation' method.

Chen glanced down at his watch.

It was the time when the sun was shining brightly over the ninja world.

This is also the time when Chen usually starts getting busy.

"That's about enough..."

"Sizzle!" The next second, Chen's right eye suddenly lost its luster, turning into a desolate 'white'!

"!?!" This unexpected scene left Madara and Obito stunned on the spot.

"Chen, what have you done!"

“I wrote ‘Izanagi’ into my right eye and activated it after a delay, just like when you escaped from Hashirama Senju back then.”
