Chapter 314: The Price Required to Use the Rinnegan

One-Way Passage: "Was I not selected?"

One-Way Passage: "Of course it's because there were too many participants this time."

My Little Sister Isn't Cute: "Mr. One-Way Passage, didn't you already participate in one of our world's missions last time?"

One-Way Passage: "Shut up. Don't nag."

My Little Sister Isn't Cute: "......"

Gao Ban realm felt a chill run down his spine—when a big shot was angry, as a newbie, he'd better obey without question.

Can't provoke him. Can't provoke him.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "...... Pity! I was planning to use this chance to visit the Naruto world! And check on Xuan Wo Changmen's body—it would've saved 100 points."

Miss Xia Shizi: "Mr. Shida Ke! By the way, aren't you the guild's number-one rich man, the number-one tycoon?"

Miss Xia Shizi: "Then why won't you spend even 100 points?"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "......"

Miss Xia Shizi always managed, at the most fitting moment, to wound the guild members' hearts with her sharp tongue.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Maybe because... I have money, but no points..."

As Tony said this, he himself felt a deep sorrow.

He asked himself.

"I, the once-mighty Marvel world's richest man—when did I ever endure such humiliation? I can't take it anymore... I can't bear this insult!"

"Fine! I'll just buy out that burger chain I ate yesterday!"

After a moment of thought, Tony called his assistant Pepper Potts and ordered her to buy out every single burger chain he'd eaten yesterday.

A massive outflow of money finally made Tony Stark exhale in relief.

Only at this moment did he feel a faint sense of being the world's richest man—he lit a cigarette with a sigh.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Since the participants are confirmed, let's depart! Everyone, see you in the Naruto world."

Fourth Hokage: "No problem. I'll come pick you up."

Fourth Hokage: "Let the world feel pain."

Wait—I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to pick you up too.

Though the distance is great, my current chakra should be sufficient."

Su Han didn't hesitate—he shifted his spirit into the real world.

As usual, he bid farewell to Ram and Lei Mu.

Ram and Lei Mu felt no great surprise.

After all, if it were once or twice, they might have worried—but Su Han vanished for stretches so often, they'd simply grown used to it.

"Rest assured, Master! As always: no matter how long it takes, Ram will wait quietly for your return."

Ram stepped forward, embraced Su Han, then stepped back.

She went to Lei Mu's side and gently tugged Lei Mu's sleeve.

Lei Mu glanced at Ram, a flicker of hesitation crossing her face.

But with Ram's encouragement, Lei Mu took two deep breaths, stepped forward, and fixed her gaze on Su Han before her.

"What's wrong, my dear Lei Mu?"

Su Han raised an eyebrow, smiling as he gazed at Lei Mu before him.

"May the Master return victorious!"

Lei Mu, having made up her mind, stepped forward and tightly embraced Su Han's body, then lifted her head and lightly kissed his cheek—just a fleeting touch—before swiftly stepping back.

Lei Mu stood beside Ram, bowing her head deeply, her face flushed red.

Su Han paused, gently touching the spot Lei Mu had kissed.

He smiled faintly. "No need to worry."

After a brief pause, Su Han said with utter calm.

"Because... my victory is only natural!"

The next instant, Su Han's figure vanished before their eyes.

Lei Mu timidly glanced at Ram—though her action had been tacitly approved, a faint sense of confusion and shame still lingered in her heart.

Seeing this, Ram sighed helplessly. "Lei Mu, why are you still standing there? Don't you have chores to do?"

"Besides, today you're sparring with me again! The training ground behind the villa isn't finished yet, but its basic shape is built—let's go there today."

Lei Mu blinked, then her eyes lit up instantly. She nodded happily at Ram. "Yes, sister! No problem!"

...... Naruto world.

Ichiraku Ramen.

Xuan Wo Changmen and the Six Paths of Pain now all appeared here.

Black robes with red clouds draped over them.

The Rinnegan was cold, utterly devoid of emotion.

Bofengshui Sect stared at Xuan Wo Changmen, his eyes filled with quiet reflection.

Xuan Wo Changmen was no longer crippled as he had been during their first meeting.

Under the guild's power, his body had been remade.

But Bofengshui Sect sensed something, and frowned slightly.

"Your body... is beginning to burn out again."

Bofengshui Sect could feel Xuan Wo Changmen's chakra constantly operating at its absolute limit.

Xuan Wo Changmen fell silent for a moment, then reached up and touched his eyes, his voice hoarse.

"After all, these eyes are not mine..."

"Just like your student Kaxi, using eyes that do not belong to you imposes too great a burden."

Bofengshui Sect opened his mouth, but finally a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Faced with this situation, he had nothing to say.

Ultimately, these eyes were never Xuan Wo Changmen's—they belonged to Uchiha Madara.

Xuan Wo Changmen was merely a member of the Uzumaki clan, with immense chakra.

He was not even an Uchiha, and had no blood relation whatsoever to Uchiha Madara.

To wield the Rinnegan, such an immensely powerful force, the final cost was merely immense consumption.

For... Xuan Wo Changmen, it was worth it.

Xuan Wo Changmen was utterly serene, his body gradually weakening—this was merely a price that had to be paid.

"By the way..."

Xuan Wo Changmen paused.

He gazed at the still-youthful Master Handa, who smiled as he brought over a plate of ramen.

His voice was calm.

"Fourth Hokage... are you really this fond of Ichiraku Ramen?"

The last time Xuan Wo Changmen came to Konoha, the Fourth Hokage had given him Ichiraku Ramen.

And this time, it was Ichiraku Ramen again.

This indeed surprised Xuan Wo Changmen.

"After all, it's the ramen my future child loves!"

Bofengshui Sect's voice carried a touch of tenderness, then he gave Xuan Wo Changmen a wry smile.

"Moreover, in the Shinobi World, the elders should be most familiar with Ichiraku Ramen... I feel they would be curious about what Ichiraku Ramen actually tastes like."

"The Fourth Hokage is right!"

A calm voice sounded.

Both froze, then turned toward the sound.

In a breath, the void twisted, and three figures suddenly appeared before them.

Leading them, with a faint smile on his face, was Su Han.
