Chapter 39

Su Xiao Xiao: "@Fourth Hokage. I've tested the Flying Lei Shen Technique—it worked exceptionally well. Thank you."

Su Xiao Xiao: "@Make the World Suffer. If I'm not mistaken, you're Xuanwozhang Sect's Changmen from the Rain Village?"

Almost the instant Changmen's identity was revealed, Changmen in the Rain Village of the Hokage world suddenly opened his eyes, icy light flowing within them as he fell into deep thought.

Changmen's body was extremely emaciated, his bones clearly visible; he sat in a wheelchair, looking as if he had little time left—merely clinging to life.

Precisely because his physical condition was currently so poor, Changmen had concealed his true identity, and when traveling outside, he only allowed his six puppets to use the name Six Paths Pain.

Logically, the only people in this world who should know his true identity were Jiraiya, Nan, and perhaps that one who called himself Uchiha Madara—just a handful of individuals.

"A mysterious guild leader who can predict the future, and a peculiar guild spanning countless worlds? Now that's truly interesting."

Changmen's voice, low and slightly hoarse, broke after a long silence.

He thought of something.

"Is it because the Fourth Hokage gave that guy a red packet, but I didn't give him one?"

After a moment of contemplation, Changmen made a decision, closed his eyes, and said, "Very well. Perfect timing—I'll test whether the Rinnegan's techniques can be isolated."

"Ding! Changmen sent you a private red packet."

Su Han's gaze flickered slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart. He muttered, "If only Changmen would send me his Rinnegan…"

Of course, Su Han was only muttering to himself. Even if he truly exposed the inner secrets of the Hokage world—

Changmen would never send his Rinnegan to Su Han, knowing his eyes were originally given to him by Uchiha Madara.

Unless he were currently locked in a life-or-death battle with Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Obito, about to die, and determined that even in death he wouldn't let his enemy obtain the Rinnegan—then maybe.

Su Han accepted Changmen's red packet, then closed his eyes to sense it—his brows instantly furrowed.

"Congratulations, Guild Leader, you have obtained: Shinra Tensei, Universal Pull!"

"Aren't Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull exclusive Rinnegan techniques? Can they be used without the Rinnegan?"

Su Han was genuinely shocked. This outcome exceeded his expectations.

After thinking it over, Su Han no longer cared—he accepted the truth: the two techniques had been sent by Changmen and now belonged to him.

Whether he could use them or not—that would depend on circumstances.

If he truly couldn't use them, perhaps in the future he could strengthen them with points, eliminating their flaws to enable unconditional use.

After integrating them, Su Han sensed their nature—his face showed a flicker of surprise.

Then he reached out and lightly grasped: "Universal Pull!"

Dark black light rose from Su Han's hand.

Immediately, a terrifying suction force surged from his palm—the distant table shot toward him in an instant.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A powerful repulsive force slammed into the table, combining with the gravitational pull—the intense inertia froze the table midair.

Then, with a crash, the entire table shattered.

Wood splinters flew in all directions; due to Shinra Tensei's effect, none of the fragments neared Su Han—the room was instantly filled with dust.

Su Han paid no attention to his messy room—he fell into thought.

"Did Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull merge with the Dark-Dark Fruit's Dark Water? …Good… this enhances Dark Water's range even further!"

Overall, the successful use of these two techniques eased Su Han's mind.

These techniques were undoubtedly extremely powerful—if pushed to their peak, they would not be inferior to the Flying Lei Shen Technique in the slightest.

Like the Flying Lei Shen Technique, using these two techniques consumed one's physical stamina.

If Su Han's stamina grew strong enough in the future, he could, like the Six Paths Pain's Deva Path in the original story, obliterate an entire city with a single Shinra Tensei.

Or use Shinra Tensei to repel all incoming attacks, forming a near-perfect defense.

Moreover, Universal Pull's suction was even stronger than Dark Water…

"Ding! Su Xiao Xiao uploaded an ultra-large memory copy: 'Naruto'!"

The Fourth Hokage, in his office, saw the memory copy uploaded by Su Han—he drew a sharp breath, his eyes flickering.

Though he hadn't actually watched the memory copy, merely seeing its name gradually brought a smile to his lips. His voice carried a touch of reflection.

"So that's how it is… this is perfect…"

From the One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Iron Man 1 memory copies, the Fourth Hokage had deduced a pattern.

That every memory copy had its own absolute protagonist.

The absolute protagonist of My Hero Academia was the Little Hero.

The absolute protagonist of One Piece was Monkey D. Luffy.

The absolute protagonist of Iron Man 1 was Iron Man Tony Stark.

To become the absolute protagonist of a work itself speaks volumes.

Clearly, from the name "Naruto," it could be inferred that Konoha, the village in Naruto, was perhaps the main faction of this literary work.

This was good news.

In stark contrast to the Fourth Hokage's attitude, Changmen's heart grew heavy the moment he saw the memory copy uploaded by Su Han.

"Konoha…"

Changmen's expression was utterly complex—he both hated and admired Konoha.

He hated it because Konoha's ninja had slaughtered indiscriminately in the Rain Village; even his parents' deaths were tied to Konoha ninja.

Yet he admired it because his teacher Jiraiya came from Konoha. Though Changmen harbored hatred toward Konoha, he held Jiraiya in the highest reverence and respect.

He shook his head, his expression returning to cold indifference.

"Let me see what Naruto is truly about."

"If Konoha truly stands in my path—blocking true peace for this world—I will destroy Konoha without hesitation."
