Chapter 257: 250. In-Yō
"Alright! Since everyone is here. Let's start the meeting!"
Izuna jumps towards the backside of the mountain and the rest of the group follows him.
Swish… swish…
While in mid-air, Izuna makes some One hand signs.
Swoosh…
A spatial tunnel opens in front of the group.
Kakashi, Itachi, Guy, and Tsunade are surprised for a moment as they curiously stare at the tunnel.
"Come in!"
Izuna gestures for them to enter.
Whoosh…
The tunnel closes after everyone enters it.
Soon, the group appears in a dark space with a vast stretch of emptiness.
Izuna takes a step forward and the place lights up. He walks deeper into space.
The rest of the group follows him.
"Hmm… this seems to be a small independent dimension."
Minato senses the surrounding space and mumbles.
"Yes, I created this small, independent space. It's only the size of a clan compound." Izuna informs them.
"That's quite incredible!"
Minato is amazed by this small dimension.
"It's all thanks to your guidance, Minato-san."
Izuna scratches his head.
"Anyway, this is going to be the new headquarter of our organization. After some renovation, this place won't' be much different from our previous place and it is much more secure compared to the previous one."
He nods his head in satisfaction.
'I can't help but steal the idea from Kara.'
The other members curiously inspect the space.
"it's like a pocket in space," Kakashi mumbles to himself.
'I wonder if I can access Kamui from this dimension.'
Kakashi activates his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Kamui."
A small tear opens in space. Kakashi infuses more chakra to expand the tear.
Fwoosh… Poof…
A powerful fuinjutsu seal surrounds the tear and forcefully closes the tear.
"I knew it."
Kakashi is taken back by the Fuinjutsu seal. A trail of blood leaks from his eyes as he deactivates his Sharingan.
"Here! Kakashi Senpai!"
Yamato passes a handkerchief to Kakashi to wipe the blood.
"I forgot to mention, this place is sealed by Space-time Fuinjutsu seal, and the space in this area is locked.
Unless you have the key to the seal, you won't be able to influence the space in this dimension."
Hmm…
Minato takes out a kunai from his pocket.
Swish…
He throws the kunai in a random direction and tries to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
Clank…
The kunai falls on the ground while Minato is still in his previous position.
"There is no doubt about it. Abilities like teleportation, blink, and portal formations are restricted here."
Minato nods his head.
'I spent almost a year studying the formation around Ryuchi cave and Shikkotsu Forest. This is the product of my research.'
Izuna proudly stares at his creation.
"Looks like I can't fall behind in my training or else Naruto won't even look up to me."
Minato chuckles.
"You will forever be Naruto's hero. The hero who fought against Nine-tails and saved the village."
Izuna shakes his head.
"If I am Naruto's idol then you are the person he strives to be like."
"Then that's more of a reason for me to restart my training."
Minato picks up his kunai.
"Minato-san, I have a few things to discuss with you."
Izuna walks deeper into space. Minato, Mei, and Tsunade follow him.
"Minato-san, you already know the specifics of my organization."
Mmm…
Minato nods his head with a serious expression.
"Our enemy is way too powerful. We must prepare in advance to deal with them. It's the part of the reason you found In-yō."
In-yō is the name of Izuna's organization. It translates to Yin and Yang, which is synonymous with Light and Shadow.
Hmm…
Tsunade and Mei stare at each other with apparent confusion.
"Minato! Izuna! Was this a part of your plan?"
Tsunade asks them out of curiosity.
"Pretty much!"
Minato nods his head and reveals the information about the purple-robed guy.
"Tsunade-san, our enemy is immensely powerful. He possesses God-like powers and we can't even comprehend the limit of his power."
Minato takes a deep breath.
"Not only this, I am afraid there are more powerful beings like him secretly eyeing our world."
Minato reveals the secret information he read in the records of Mount Myoboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryuchi cave.
"What?!"
Tsunade and Mei's expression turns grave.
"If that's the case, then won't our lives be at the whims of these beings."
"Not really!" Izuna shakes his head.
"From the information, I have gathered; there are two powerful factions. And these factions are at odds against each other. So, we still have around 15 to 20 years to prepare before a full-blown war starts."
Izuna recounts the incident of future events from his memories.
'My presence has drastically changed the shinobi history but it shouldn't have any major impact on Otsutsuki and otherworldly forces, right?"
Izuna questions himself.
"When the time comes, In-yō will deal with these otherworldly threats. Currently, it has two branches, the Light and the Shadow branch. The members of the Light branch are the major fighting force of the organization whereas the members of the Shadow branch are responsible for gathering intelligence, reconnaissance, and assassination."
Mmm…
The group nods their head in understanding.
"The members of the Light branch include Minato-san, Kakashi, Guy, Shisui, and Itachi. Naruto and Sasuke will join once they grow up. As for the members of the Shadow organization, I can't reveal their identity."
Izuna shakes his head.
"I made a promise to hide their identities. Currently, there are only four members with codenames Pride, Wrath, and Envy, and Sloth. Members of the Shadow branch will report to me."
Hmm…
"That makes sense. But there are only 11 people; if you exclude Sasuke and Naruto, then only 9 remain. Would such a number be enough?" Tsunade raises a question.
"It's more than enough." Izuna firmly nods his head.
"At such a level of fight, numbers won't matter anymore. What matters is the combat prowess of the individual."
'In his new body, Minato-san is easily as strong as Naruto in his Nine-tails Chakra mode. Also, he has Sage Mode to top it off. Itachi and Shisui will reach Grandpa's level once they awaken their EMS. Guy is also a monster with the perfected version of Eight-Gates. Kakashi is a genius in the art of combat. He created an A-Rank jutsu at the age of 12.
Let's not talk about Naruto and Sasuke; both of them have the plot Armor of the main character.'
Mei, Tsunade, and Minato helplessly shake their head sensing Izuna's firm gaze.
"Still, in case of a full-blown war, we definitely need an army to hold the enemy," Minato argues.
"Hmm… if that's the case, then we must inform other nations of the impending threat." Tsunade proposes.
"Yes, I don't think we can overcome our enemies just by ourselves. An alliance is necessary to counter our enemies. What do you think Izuna! Mizukage?!"
Minato curiously stares at Izuna and Mei for an answer.
"Kirigakure is already an ally of Konoha. So of course, we will lend a hand. Besides, this matter concerns the future of the shinobi world." Mei agrees immediately.
'Minato-san's leadership skills are exemplary. From the very start, I planned to make Minato-san the leader of In-yō. There is a ticking time-bomb in my body and I have to search for a solution.'
Izuna places a hand under his chin as he is lost in thinking.
'As for the matter of the alliance; In the normal course of history, Akatsuki will force other nations to join hands. The name of Madara Uchiha is enough to instill fear in the hearts of every shinobi.'
Sigh…
'Although I am stronger than Grandpa in his prime; I lack feats to match my strength.'
Izuna shakes his head in despondency.
'I wonder what Akatsuki will do next?!'
Tsunade, Minato, and Mei notice his expression.
"Is there any problem?"
Tsunade questions him.
"No! It's just that…"
Buzzzzzz…
Suddenly, a buzzing sensation spreads through his head.
Whirl…
The chakra in his body starts to circulate on its own.
"I… I…"
Izuna clutches his forehead and falls to the ground.
"IZUNA!!"
Mei, Tsunade, and Minato hurriedly support him.

Chapter 258: 251. Awakening
"IZUNA!"
Mei, Tsunade, and Minato hurriedly support him.
Izuna feels a heating sensation in the optic nerves around his eyes.
Swoosh…
His body furiously absorbs the Nature energy of the surroundings. The Nature energy fuses with his chakra and forms a wisp of dense cyan chakra.
This chakra circulates in his body and moves towards the optic nerves in his eyes.
'Don't tell me it has finally manifested…'
Fwoosh…
Izuna loses consciousness as his skin turns pale.
The expression of the rest of the members turns grim.
"What?! What happened to him?" Mei grimly asks Tsunade.
Hmm…
Tsunade inspects Izuna's body. After a while, she heaves a sigh of relief.
"It's not anything major. At least for him!"
She raises her head and notices the worry in other's eyes.
"He is suffering from Acute Chakra Deficiency. His chakra is drained to the very last wisp."
"Isn't that harmful? If a person ran out of chakra, then won't his body substitute it by draining his vitality." Kakashi remarks.
"If it was someone else, then that might be the case. But Izuna is a Sage; his body is absorbing the Nature energy of the surroundings to replenish his chakra." Tsunade picks up Izuna.
"Minato! Let's get out of here. He needs an environment with rich Nature energy to recover." Tsunade instructs Minato.
"Alright!"
Minato makes some hand signs and a spatial tunnel opens in front of them. The group exits the small dimension.
Swish… swish…
"Reverse Summoning Jutsu"
Tsunade makes some hand signs and slams her palm on the ground.
-------------
Whoosh…
She reappears in the Shikkotsu forest atop the giant tree.
"Tsunade-sama!!"
Katsuyu walks out of a nearby cave. She notices Izuna in Tsunade's lap.
"Katsuyu, Quick!! Send some of your smaller clones to help Izuna. He is suffering from chakra deficiency. Allow your clones to help gather Nature energy for him." Tsunade orders Katsuyu.
"I am on it. Tsunade-sama!"
Katsuyu immediately summons her clones. The clones crawl over Izuna's body and absorb Nature energy. Their body glows with a cyan hue.
"Good!" Tsunade nods her head and carries Izuna to the treehouse on top of the Giant tree.
She lays him on the bed and walks out onto the balcony.
A stream of fleeting clouds blocks the radiant moonlight as they shine with a silvery hue. The fleeting clouds occasionally cast a shadow over the Giant tree.
Haah…
Tsunade takes a deep breath, a breath full of vitality and vigor.
"He will be alright! It's not his first time!"
Tsunade shakes her head as her hairs flutter in the winds. Like the fleeting clouds, she discards her worries.
"It's pointless to worry too much. I have to return to Konoha."
Tsunade leaves with some instructions to Katsuyu.
--------------
"Where am I?"
Izuna groggily opens his eyes as the familiar white space appears in his vision.
"My mindscape?!"
Crack… crack…
Izuna cracks his neck and slowly stands up.
"What's going on? Why am I in my mindscape?"
Soon, Izuna recounts the earlier chakra outburst near his eye nerves.
"It's about time to awaken my Rinnegan. Thirteen Years! It took me thirteen years to awaken my Rinnegan."
He slowly stands up and walks towards the center of his mindscape.
Various floating orbs with elemental energy appear in his vision.
Numerous chakra orbs revolve around a dense purple chakra orb in orbits.
"This reminds me of the solar system."
Izuna closely inspects the floating purple chakra orb.
"No! To be precise… it is like an atom."
Whoosh…
Izuna waves his hand and the chakra orbs halt and float towards him.
He looks around but fails to notice anything out of ordinary.
"Hmm… let me feel the changes in my body first. Maybe I might get some clue about my current situation."
He closes his eyes and inspects his body.
His body is absorbing vast amounts of Nature energy at an incredible rate. The dense cyan chakra has accumulated around his optic nerves.
"The consumption of chakra is too much. At this rate, the chakra would be evenly distributed among my eyes and I will awaken a normal Rinnegan in both eyes."
Izuna tightly clenches his fists.
"I won't allow it. I want to awaken a Kekkei Mora, not a Kekkei Genkai!"
The words of Hagoromo echoes in his mind.
'Kekkei Mora isn't a power, it is a divine state. A divine state that uses the principles of all creation to command all things in Nature. It is a manifestation of Natural Law and Order.
To acquire this ability, severe training and refining of chakra are needed or the effect would be too small to make a difference. No matter the suffering that goes against one's steel conviction, one cannot give up. To achieve Samsara and Destiny's guidance, only those who carry these traits will be given the power to temper the laws of the world, the power to wield concepts.'
Izuna grits his teeth in pain.
"The Rinnegan awakened by Grandfather and Sasuke is a Kekkei Genkai. Since they don't have any understanding of the Law and Concepts behind the abilities; they can only awaken a set of predestined abilities. But I am different! I have shed blood and sweat to master these abilities.
After coming this far, how can I settle with a Normal Kekkei Genkai Rinnegan? I won't give up!"
Haaah…
As if feeling Izuna's desperation, the orbs around him tremble violently.
Shiing…
A giant Rinnegan eye opens in his mindscape.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Space and time orb flies towards the Rinnegan and merges with it.
Shiing…
Two tomoes appear in the innermost circle.
"It's not enough. Aah…"
Izuna urges the rest of the orbs to fuse with the Rinnegan.
Whoosh…
The purple orb flies towards the Rinnegan and fuses with it. A third tomoe appears in the innermost circle of the Rinnegan.
"To create a Kekkei Mora, I have to fuse all elements. However, the current me is not capable of such a feat. I have to search for an alternative."
Izuna focuses his entire spirit on the Rinnegan as his mindscape trembles violently.
"Kekkai Shi is a precursor to Kekkei Mora. What if I fuse more Kekkei Shi with the Rinnegan?"
An incredulous idea pops into his mind.
"Whatever, if I fail here; the worst case will be my death. Anyway, I am fated to die in four more years. Then I might as well take the risk and make a go for it."
Clarity returns to his mind as he focuses his entire attention on the various orbs floating around him.
"I have to choose four distinct elements to combine out of the five elements. The number of such possible combinations is five. I have already created the Electromagnetic Release which leaves me with four possible combinations."
Izuna solely concentrates on the floating elemental orbs around him.
"Merge!"
He urges the orbs to merge with each other. As if sensing Izuna's intention, the orbs furiously repel each other.
Haah…
"I can't fail after coming this far."
Izuna bites his lips and urges the orbs with his entire being. After countless failures, he manages to create four more Kekkei Shi orbs.
"Go!"
Izuna weakly waves his hand to direct the orbs towards the Rinnegan.
Swoosh… swoosh…
The orbs merge with his Rinnegan and four more tomoe appear in it.
"There are a total of seven tomoes. I guess I won't be able to awaken a nine tomoe Rinne-Sharingan."
Sigh…
Izuna helplessly shakes his head and sighs to himself as his vision deteriorates.
Whoosh…
The Light and the darkness orb around him tremble and shoot towards the Rinnegan.
Wham…
The two orbs merge with the Rinnegan and nine tomoes appear on the Rinnegan.
"Finally… my heart can rest easy!"
Izuna feels heavy as darkness shrouds him.
In the outside world,
The Nature energy of the entire Shikkotsu forest furiously pours into his body. An enormous amount of chakra accumulates around his left eye.
Shiing…
Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan awakens on its own.
Swirl…
The pattern of his Mangekyo changes as the sclera turns purple.
Five concentric rings form on the sclera.
Shiing… shiing…
The concentric rings are followed by nine tomoes which arrange themselves in the inner concentric rings.
The rings continue to rotate for a while before it eventually calms down. The color of the Rinnegan changes to blue, red, golden and it finally settles to purple.
Bzzz…
The awakening of the Rinnegan sends a jolt through Izuna's body.
------------------
In a faraway dimension,
Hmm…
A pale white figure with four crooked horns resembling a crown slowly opens his eyes.
"The Heavenly eyes of Samsara have awakened in its truest form. It's the most exalted eyes comparable to Pure eyes."
Tap… tap…
The figure taps his finger on the armrest of his throne as an attendant appears in front of him.
"Our clan has fought this battle for eons. It's finally time to end it for once and for all. Summon the elders of the clan."
The four-horned figure clenches his fist.
"Yes, my lord!"
Whoosh…
The attendant disappears from his position.
"The time has come. The time for the GOD to awaken."
