Upgraded Idle Talent Entries

Two days later.

Black Zetsu and Orochimaru were ready to use Edo Tensei to bring back Madara and then let him figure out how to reclaim the pair of Rinnegan from Obito.

As for the immortality that Orochimaru wanted?

Black Zetsu had promised him that as long as their Eye of the Moon plan succeeded, Orochimaru would definitely obtain eternal life.

But did Orochimaru actually believe Black Zetsu's words?

At least on the surface, he seemed to.

However, whether he truly believed it was something only he knew.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

Ryosuke, who lived in Konoha, had been gathering information about the Akatsuki hideout's breach a few days ago.

During his investigation, he discovered that no one had found any trace of Nagato at that time.

Instead, only the bodies of the Six Paths of Pain had been recovered.

But that wasn't much help either. After all, those were just puppets controlled by the Rinnegan.

They weren't actual Rinnegan wielders, meaning nothing about the Rinnegan could be learned from them.

The hidden villages that had fought desperately to claim the bodies of the Six Paths of Pain had ultimately gained nothing.

In the end, they had promised Konoha significant benefits to obtain the corpses, but now, after extensive research, they found nothing valuable.

A complete disappointment!

With no leads from the Five Great Countries, Ryosuke speculated that Nagato must have met with an accident.

His Wood Clone had discovered a pool of dried blood inside the tower at Amegakure.

Though long since dried, it was clear the blood had splattered from a chair—Nagato's usual resting place.

Nagato almost never left that chair, so the blood could only belong to him.

However, to confirm, Ryosuke used a strand of Nagato's hair and attempted Edo Tensei to summon Nagato's soul.

If successful, it would mean Nagato was truly dead.

If it failed…

It wouldn't necessarily mean he was alive—someone else could have already used Edo Tensei on him.

After all, if Nagato had died and his body had disappeared, it had likely been taken by someone familiar with Edo Tensei, intending to summon him back.

Inside a dimly lit room, Ryosuke formed seals with both hands and performed Edo Tensei on a comatose rogue ninja before him.

Konan stood nearby, watching anxiously, silently praying that the technique would fail.

Even after hearing Ryosuke's report, she still clung to a sliver of hope.

What if Nagato was merely injured?

His body was frail, and if he had been wounded, he likely wouldn't have gotten far.

What if?

No one could say for sure.

And so, Konan held onto an unrealistic fantasy.

At that moment—

As Ryosuke performed Edo Tensei, the rogue ninja's unconscious body trembled, undergoing strange changes.

After a while, Ryosuke stopped.

The sacrificed rogue ninja slumped over, lifeless.

"Failed?!"

Konan's voice carried a mix of shock and hope.

Failure meant Nagato was still alive. That would be an unexpected relief.

"Failed… but not completely." Ryosuke replied.

"What do you mean?" Konan asked, confused.

"It means the technique didn't fail because Nagato is alive—but because someone else has already used Edo Tensei to summon him. That's why my technique failed."

Ryosuke explained, then gently placed a hand on Konan's shoulder.

"My condolences."

Konan stood frozen, her expression blank.

After a moment, tears silently streamed down her cheeks.

Ryosuke had anticipated this outcome. Given Nagato's condition, there was no way he could have escaped.

Besides, Obito had been coveting his Rinnegans for a long time.

Now that all the Tailed Beasts had been collected, there was no reason to let Nagato live.

If Ryosuke had been in Obito's position, he wouldn't have left Nagato alive either.

"However… why hasn't Obito made a move yet? Does he not intend to carry out the Eye of the Moon plan? Or is something wrong?"

Ryosuke pondered.

What he didn't know was that Nagato had long been wary of Obito and had secretly sealed a portion of the Nine-Tails within himself.

With Nagato's death, that chakra had also vanished.

After that, Orochimaru approached Obito with an offer of cooperation but things didn't go so smoothly.

Because now the entire world is frantically looking for the remnants of the Akatsuki, as well as the tailed beasts that were taken away by them and hidden somewhere.

Therefore, Obito didn't have much energy to seal Nine Tails during this time.

The previous most tedious steps have been completed.

All that's left is to seal Ten Tails into his body and become Ten Tails Jinchūriki.

For Obito who has mastered the Rinnegan, this step is not difficult.

...

In the afternoon, Ryosuke had lunch cooked by Yugito.

Ryosuke was lying comfortably on a chair, basking in the sun in the yard.

On the side, Yugito peeled the fruit for him and put the sweet pulp into his mouth.

Konan had learned the bad news that Nagato had been killed in the morning.

She couldn't accept this fact at the moment, and her mood was very low.

Ryosuke was not an unscrupulous master, so he gave her a day off with a wave of his hand, allowing her to rest and recover.

"Master, Matatabi said that it sensed a Chakra that it was afraid of yesterday. Do you know what it is?"

Yugito peeled a grape and brought it to Ryosuke's mouth.

By the way, she asked about the matter that Matatabi had been whispering in her ear yesterday.

"A Chakra that scared Matatabi?"

Ryosuke ate the grapes, thought for a while and said, "That should be the Chakra of Ten Tails. You can ask Matatabi the specific direction where it sensed the Ten Tails Chakra."

"Okay, master!"

Yugito nodded obediently, then asked Matatabi.

After a while

"Master, Matatabi said that it is not sure where it is, only that it sensed it from the west."

West?

Isn't that the direction where the Land of Wind is?

Did Obito take the Gedo Statue to the Land of Wind?

Ryosuke thought to himself.

He was about to use his Kagura mind eye to perceive the Land of Wind, but at this moment!

Ding~!

"Congratulations, Host, your talent entry in the idle slot has been upgraded!"

Ding~!

"Congratulations Host....."

The reminder sounded three times in a row.

Ryosuke's attention was instantly diverted from the Ten Tails.

He silently called out the character panel in his heart, and then saw three vacant idle slots.

"Finally!"

Ryosuke was overjoyed.

Then, he put three new gold talent entries on the three vacant idle slots, while looking at the three talent entries that had successfully been upgraded to god level.

[The power of Karma Seal (Gold): The power of the Karma Seal of the Ōtsutsuki clan, strengthens your strength in all aspects. With the power of Karma Seal, your future has unlimited possibilities! On the road to becoming a strong person, you have already embarked on a high-speed passage!]

[Physical fitness +2000%! The power of Karma seal +1000%! Comes with Karma seal!]

The first talent entry to be upgraded to god level was this.

This talent entry was very important for Ryosuke.

It is also one of the first three talent entries to be upgraded.

The remaining four talent entries were put in the idle slot later.

Ryosuke looked at the [Power of Karma Seal].

Before the upgrade, it was already very strong.

It is one of the fundamental reasons why Ryosuke's strength could reach the god level.

Ryosuke looked at the upgraded attributes and sighed in his heart.

[The Power of Karma Seal (God): The power of the Karma Seal of the Ōtsutsuki clan strengthens your strength in all directions. With the power of Karma Seal, your future has unlimited possibilities! On the road to becoming a strong person, you have already embarked on a high-speed passage!]

[Physical fitness +6000%! The power of the Karma seal +5000%! Comes with a Karma seal!]

The name of the upgraded [Power of Karma Seal] talent entry has not changed, and the description has also not changed.

But the attributes have increased dramatically.

In terms of physical fitness, from the original 2000% bonus to the current 6000%, it has tripled.

And the most important Karma Seal has increased from the original 1000% to the current 5000%, which is a five-fold increase.

Previously, his combat power could be increased by 190 times after completely unsealing the Karma seal.

And now, after the five-fold increase, it has directly soared from 190 times to 950 times.

This is just the power of Karma seal.

If superimposed with the god mode and the bonus from talent entties, it is simply...

Ryosuke felt that he was so strong that even he himself couldn't judge what level he was at.

Anyway, among god-level powerhouses, he must have reached the top level.

But this 950 times bonus is not easy to reach.

With Ryosuke's current physical strength, even counting the 6000% bonus provided by the new [Power of Karma Seal], it's still a problem to achieve 100% complete unsealing.

But about 95% should be ok.

That is to say, Ryosuke can at least unseal 95% of the power of Karma Seal and then get 700 times the combat power bonus.

700 times, this is the limit of Ryosuke.

The combat power bonus of the god form mode can no longer be stacked.

But after counting the 63 times bonus from the talent entries, this number can reach an astonishing 44100 times.

That is to say, Ryosuke's peak combat power can reach 44100 times his normal state.

Even if his combat power under normal conditions is not yet at the god level.

But with such an exaggerated increase in combat power, it is enough to push him to the top of god level.

Compared with the god-level powerhouses of the Ōtsutsuki clan, he wondered which was stronger and which was weaker?

"I knew that after the upgrade, it would have a terrifying effect on my strength."

"It seems that my previous guess was completely correct!"

Ryosuke smiled and equipped this brand-new god-level talent entry.

He felt that his body had become much stronger.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the second upgraded talent entry.
