Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-783

In less than fifteen minutes Kuroto completed the eye transplantation operation, changing the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the eye sockets of Karin.

After cleaning the surgical tools, he asked Karin, “How do you feel?”

Karin spent a few minutes, and replied, “I… I don’t feel anything… these eyes seem to be the same as the previous ones.”

Kuroto nodded, “That is natural. These eyes are similar to the ones you were using until a while ago.” And added after a pause, “Oh and one more thing… similar to the last time, these eyes are also in a dormant state because of the exhaustion of Visual Prowess. It will take some time for the visual prowess to be restored.”

Karin nodded, “I understand.” Then she paused and asked, “Kuroto-sama, may I ask a question?”

“Go ahead.” Replied Kuroto, while sealing the other pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan inside a scroll.

Karin thought about it for a while, and spoke, “Kuroto-sama, initially, you transplanted a pair of eyes, and once they were healed, you changed them with another pair… you have given me those eyes, and then changed, it’s not just because you want them to be healed, right?”

Kuroto blinked at Karin’s question, and couldn’t help but think, ‘She has indeed become sharp.’ He wasn’t upset or anything, and replied with a smile, “Yes, my purpose is not just the recovery of eyes, there is a lofty goal behind doing these actions.” He paused here and said, “If you are interested in knowing then I don’t mind telling you… I am actually carrying out preparation for the synthesis of the Rinnegan.”

“The Rinnegan?” muttered Karin, ignorant of what ‘Rinnegan’ means.

“Mm-hmm, the Rinnegan.” – Being aware of Karin’s lack of knowledge, Kuroto explained what Rinnegan is to her.

“So… the Rinnegan are the eyes of the Sage of Six Path!” She was highly surprised. She didn’t think that Kuroto-sama planned to create something so incredible and admired him more.

Kuroto smiled at her excitement, and explained, “For the synthesis of Rinnegan, I need someone who has high chakra reserves, can provide Yang Chakra, and is trustworthy… You are the only one besides me who fulfills all these requirements; therefore, I have chosen you for this.” Then he paused and asked, “So, what do you say, do you want to help me?”

After a while of silence, Karin asked, “Kuroto-sama, is Rinnegan important to you?”

Kuroto nodded, “Yes. I require it for something.”

Hearing Kuroto’s answer, Karin nodded, “Since Rinnegan is important to you, then I will definitely help you. I will do my best in synthesizing it and I will return them to you for sure!”

Kuroto rubbed Karin’s head, and said, “It’s true that I need the Rinnegan, however, I can’t use it considering what my purpose is.”

“Huh? What do you mean Kuroto-sama?” asked Karin, stunned and confused.

After pondering for a while, Kuroto felt that it was necessary to tell her his purpose, and explained, “The reason why Rinnegan is known as the greatest of three Dojutsu is that aside from granting incredible power to its user, it also grants them the ability to reverse life and death… that is the ability I need.”

“Reverse Life and Death?” muttered Karin. She seemed a little stunned, but as the realization dawned on her, she became panicked, and asked, “Does that mean… does that mean you are…?”

Kuroto rubbed Karin’s head and said, “Don’t worry, I am completely fine right now, it’s related to the future.” And explained, “In the new future, I will be doing something very dangerous. That something is full of uncertainty and even I am not sure if I will be able to survive, in fact, there is a ninety percent chance that I will fail and end up dying.”

Although Kuroto has a lot of expectations from the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, this doesn’t mean he isn’t afraid of failure. Even after he has gained a lot of knowledge after witnessing two ceremonies, he is still not completely assured of success.

After all, the ceremony in Kuroto’s mind is way more dangerous than what Hiruko and Danzo went through.

Unlike those two, he wants to become the true God, just like Kaguya and that is not easy. It is the qualitative change of life. Not something one can achieve in the earlier stages of the ceremony.

In the millennium-year-long history of the Shinobi World, except for Kaguya, there has never been another person to have achieved true Godhood.

Even Kaguya’s two sons, the Sage of Six Path and Hamura haven’t achieved true Godhood.

But Kuroto wants to do it, however, it is very dangerous and he might end up dying in the process.

Karin was anxious now, and asked, “Since it’s so dangerous then please don’t do it… if something were to happen to Kuroto-sama… then… then…”

Kuroto shook his head, “I can’t stop… I have to do it… No, I must do it… this is the pursuit of my life.”

Tears started to flow from Karin’s eyes, and she tried to persuade Kuroto, “Please… Kuroto-sama…”

Kuroto just smiled and shook his head, “I can’t.” and added, “And you don’t need to be so anxious… Am I not already preparing a countermeasure to my failure?”

No amount of preparation can give him the confidence that he will succeed. Therefore, he needs the Rinnegan, a Dojutsu capable of reversing life and death; and bringing people back to life.

With Rinnegan Kuroto can be brought back to life, and once that happens, he has another chance to undergo the ritual. After learning from the mistake of the first attempt, he can make all the necessary changes so that he definitely succeeds on the second attempt.

“The Rinnegan?” muttered Karin in realization.

Kuroto nodded, “If I were to fail and end up dying, I would need someone to use the Rinnegan and bring me back to life.”

“I see, it makes sense.” Nodded Karin, and said, “Then please leave this task to me, I will definitely bring you back to life.”

Kuroto flicked Karin’s forehead to interrupt her and said, “Don’t be so eager to reply, first hear all the details. Although Rinnegan can reverse the cycle of life and death and bring people back to life, however, it’s not free of cost. The price is the user’s own life, which means that if you were to bring me back to life, it would be at the cost of your own life.”

“At the cost of my life?” muttered Karin, somewhat afraid.

Kuroto nodded, “Yes.” And asked, “So, tell me, are you willing to sacrifice your life for me?”

“I… I…” she stammered, a little afraid initially. But as she thought more about it, all the fear disappeared and she nodded with a resolute expression, “I will… For Kuroto-sama, I will do anything!”
