Chapter 141: Sage Body and Rinnegan!

Fujinaka Genma woke up an hour later; though he wanted to test just how terrifying a one-fold boost was, it was too late at night, so he decided against it.

Still, even without going outside to test it, he could still feel the difference directly.

For instance, his dynamic vision.

Without activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, he already felt it was no worse than his Mangekyo state.

And his body coordination.

When a complex movement surfaced in his mind, Fujinaka Genma instinctively knew he could execute it.

“I’ll try it tomorrow…”

Fujinaka Genma planned to have the Root ninja test him tomorrow.

His gaze returned to the Kenshō system.

He had spent nine skill points, leaving only two.

“With just two, holding onto them won’t help in an emergency.”

Thinking this, Fujinaka Genma glanced at his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

It was already level nine, all from secret training he’d done over the past few months.

This was unique.

As long as Itachi don’t go blind, continuous use of the Mangekyo Sharingan can push it to its peak.

Especially now that Fujinaka Genma wanted to incorporate Lei Dun—training difficulty had increased.

“Then I’ll boost Chakra Nature Transformation first.”

Fujinaka Genma made his decision.

Level seven Wind Chakra Nature Transformation +2!

Level nine!

Among all chakra nature transformations, only Lei Dun surpassed it!

He silently sensed for a moment, then thought to himself: “A jutsu’s power isn’t determined solely by chakra quantity—it’s also deeply tied to how deeply one masters chakra nature transformation.”

“Chakra volume mainly affects the jutsu’s range.”

“After level six, skills are hard to improve through training alone—but not impossible. Like past Raikage and Madara Uchiha—they turned ordinary Fire Release into powerful jutsu, thanks not just to their immense chakra, but also their chakra nature transformation.”

“The Fourth and Third Raikage didn’t possess Kekkei Genkai for Lei Dun; their Lei Dun chakra nature transformation level might not be ten, but it’s certainly around eight.”

“Next time I fight, I’ll test the ultimate power of standard Lei Dun and Wind Release jutsu.”

During his last Root evaluation, his Shadow Clone had used standard jutsu—but no Lei Dun, no Wind Release.

Water Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release were still within standard limits.

He gathered his thoughts and refocused on the Kenshō system.

His attribute and skill points were exhausted, but he still had 110,000 Kenshō points.

Just leave them idle?

That seemed wasteful—no interest, no return.

“What if… I buy something?”

Fujinaka Genma switched back to the shop interface.

With 110,000 Kenshō points, he could buy a Rinnegan.

But only a regular Rinnegan.

“My current body could handle a Rinnegan.”

“But…”

Fujinaka Genma’s gaze landed on the Sage Body.

Same price—100,000 Kenshō points—for a complete Sage Body.

A sudden thought struck him: “I already have an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan—would buying a Sage Body gradually evolve it into a Rinnegan?”

He hadn’t thought this before, because initially he believed buying attribute points to boost his body was more cost-effective than buying a Sage Body.

And indeed, that was true.

Body attribute improvements covered many areas—strength, defense, and more.

But the Sage Body mainly granted massive chakra—life energy—and other innate physical talents.

Like the Senju clan’s ability to master any jutsu; the best among them, Tobirama Senju, could create forbidden jutsu as if they cost nothing.

“Buying a Sage Body now would swell my chakra to unmatched levels in the ninja world, plus massively boost my healing. Remember, I already had an 80% boost from my level-four Healing Talent.”

“Also, I might get a Rinnegan as a bonus—though it might take years.”

Fujinaka Genma realized the Sage Body wasn’t a Kekkei Genkai—it wouldn’t occupy a talent slot.

“I’ll keep 10,000 Kenshō points for minor purchases—enough… I’ll earn more later!”

Fujinaka Genma gritted his teeth.

A standalone Sage Body was tempting—but with the Rinnegan added, he couldn’t resist.

Do it!

In an instant, Fujinaka Genma’s 110,000 Kenshō points became 10,000.

Simultaneously, the Sage Body was installed.

A mysterious power surged through his body, warm and soothing.

He closed the system.

Amid the transformation, Fujinaka Genma fell asleep quickly.

The next day.

His biological clock woke him up at five a.m., as always.

He dressed and washed up, then went to his usual training ground.

He lowered his gaze and sensed—his inner power was unimaginably abundant.

The moment he thought of extracting chakra, a torrent surged through him like a raging river.

He silently estimated—it was at least three times what he had yesterday.

“And I still feel room for more growth.”

“Sage Body—impressive!”

Fujinaka Genma marveled, opened his eyes, activated the Kenshō system, and checked his body attributes.

1400!

An increase of 28 points from yesterday.

Seemed modest.

And Fujinaka Genma felt that, aside from his untestable adaptability to other jutsu, only his stamina and chakra had surged dramatically.

Defense and strength showed no notable increase.

Clearly, the Sage Body’s body enhancement didn’t include these aspects.

“Eyes…”

Fujinaka Genma activated his Sharingan—indeed, he felt his eyes being nourished by Yang chakra.

“The evolution is slow—might take many years.”

After sensing for a moment, he deactivated his Sharingan, then opened his skill bar and locked his gaze on Yang Chakra Nature Transformation.

"Indeed—it was level six, now directly level nine!"

A complete Sage having Yang Chakra Nature Transformation at level nine made sense.

He finished checking.

Fujinaka Genma closed the Kenshō system and began his regular training.

Of course, he had to increase the volume.

Though his chakra was already immense—exceeding Kushina Uzumaki’s, and not far behind Hashirama Senju’s peak.

Still, Fujinaka Genma felt he must push harder.

Talent demands effort.

This body’s potential hadn’t been fully unlocked yet!

Three hours passed in a flash.

Fujinaka Genma finished training, returned home to wash up, and ate mochi with his mother, Akie.

Today was New Year’s Day!

Konoha 47, January 1st!

After eating mochi, Fujinaka Genma went to work.

As head of Root, he had no holidays.

First, he went to Root headquarters; after the guards changed shifts, he took Hyuga Hiashi and Shisui Uchiha to Root’s training grounds.

Several Root ninja were training there.

Fujinaka Genma gathered them all at once; after a quick glance, he counted thirty-five people—Hyuga Hiashi, Shisui Uchiha, and his three personal guards included.

Then, all of Itachi—attack together!
