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."

Chapter 259: 252. Kekkei Mora
Ugh!!
Izuna slowly opens his eyes as the gentle sunlight of early dawn greets him.
He slowly wakes up from the bed and stretches his muscles. My muscles are stiff but my spirit feels so refreshed.
Swoosh…
A dense wave of Nature energy assaults his senses.
Huff…
He takes a deep breath of fresh air and walks to the balcony.
The scenery of lush greenery and dense forest appear in his vision. His vision is sharper than ever as he is even able to see a tiny insect on a blade of grass a mile away. He immediately recognizes this place as the Shikkotsu Forest.
"This is Shikkotsu Forest which means…"
Swirl…
Izuna produces a blob of water in his hands. The blob morphs into a mirror. He inspects his left eye and notices the ripple pattern with nine tomoe.
"That wasn't a dream. I have finally awakened my Rinnegan. Not only that, it's a Kekkei Mora Rinne-Sharingan."
He waves his hand and dispels the blob of water.
"It will take me a while to get used to this eye."
"Camouflage!"
He mutters and a veil of light covers his left eye.
"Now I don't even need to make hand signs to cast a jutsu. How convenient! But… it's also boring. Hand signs are the true identity of a shinobi."
Hmm…
Izuna inspects his body and notices the small cracks in his chakra system.
"Rinnegan is a manifestation of chakra. It mostly enhances the spiritual side of the body. Now my body is falling behind. At this rate, my body won't be compatible with chakra and I will explode like a bomb."
A shiver runs down Izuna's spine.
"That wisp of Six Paths Chakra which I harvested from the Summoning Heavenly Pure Reincarnation is already used up. Now I have to depend on myself to fend off this disease.
Which reminds me, how did the Sage of Six Path die? His spirit is still alive and kicking in his incorporeal form. Was his body also too weak to host his powerful soul and thus failed him at old age?"
Izuna ponders over this detail.
'The members of the Otsutsuki clan have a prolonged life span to the point of being immortal. Kaguya has all of her chakra drained and her body was sealed in the moon, yet she can still revive herself. Then there is that Isshiki. His entire body was sliced in half and yet he can still live long enough to possess another body and even that body is alive for almost a thousand years. These Otsutsuki sure have the vitality of a cockroach.
There sure all lots of secrets. I can only depend on Amado's research and my discoveries about the Kama. With my new abilities, the research will be smoother."
Crack… crack…
Izuna cracks his neck and jumps from the top of the tree. I need to stretch my muscles to lessen the stiffness.
Bang…
He heavily lands on the ground and creates a crater at his landing place.
"Those wild beasts will be a nice sparring partner to test my new abilities."
Whoosh…
Izuna flickers towards the territories of the wild beasts.
Huh!
The main body of Katsuyu crawls out of a cave. The earlier commotion has attracted her attention.
"Looks like Izuna-kun is awake! I must immediately inform Tsunade-sama."
Katsuyu summons one of her small clones and sends it to Konoha.
Bam… Bam…
Multiple explosions occur in a distance. A large cloud of dust and debris rises in the air.
"Izuna-kun is at it again. He sure likes to bully others."
Katsuyu shakes her head and enters her cave.
-------------
Konoha
Inside the Hokage Office,
Chiii…
A messenger eagle shrieks near the window. Shizune opens the window and receives the letter. She takes out a pill from her pocket and feeds it to the eagle.
Chiii…
The eagle flies towards the nursing pen of Konoha's information department.
"Tsunade-sama! It's a letter from Kakashi!"
Shizune presents the letter to Tsunade.
Hmm…
Tsunade unfurls the letter and reads its content.
"Kakashi and the group have arrived at Kiri. The chunnin exam will start in a week. Till that time, the genins will familiarize themselves with the place and relax a little to ease the stress of the journey. Good!"
Tsunade nods her head.
"I will visit Kiri during the final phase of the exam."
Tsunade folds the letter and stores it in a drawer.
"This time most of the young children of the various clans are taking part in the exam. To ensure their safety; I sent Kakashi, Guy, and Itachi. Shisui is busy with his duties as the executive chief of the Konoha's Police Department."
Hah…
Tsunade stretches her arms and relaxes on the chair.
Creak…
The chair weakly moans under her weight. Shizune silently stares at Tsunade.
'It must be the weight of her breast.' She thinks to herself.
"Hmm… Shizune! Why do I feel like you thought something rude just now?!"
Eek…
Shizune freaks out.
"Nnn… No… Tsunade-sama. It must be your imagination."
Shizune wipes a bead of cold sweat from her forehead.
"Probably!" Tsunade nods her head.
Oink… Oink…
Tonton nods in agreement.
Swoosh… Poof…
White smoke appears on Tsunade's table and chibi Katsuyu crawls out from the smoke.
"Katsuyu!"
Tsunade perks up and corrects her posture as she picks up the chibi Katsuyu.
"Tsunade-sama! Izuna-kun is awake… Tsunade-sama!" Chibi Katsuyu reports as Tonton squishes it in her embrace.
"Oh! That's good news."
Tsunade's mood cheers up. She waves her hand and summons the Anbu.
Whoosh…
A yellow-haired Anbu with a tribal mask appears in front of her.
"You can remove the mask, Minato!" Tsunade orders.
"You summoned me, Lord Fifth."
Hmm…
Tsunade informs Minato about Izuna's awakening.
"That's a relief." Minato heaves a sigh of relief.
"He pushed himself to his limits to perform that ritual. I will immediately inform Kushina of this good news."
Whoosh…
Minato teleports from the office.
"Let's meet with him. It has been a month since he went into a coma."
Tsunade grabs chibi Katsuyu from Tonton's clutches, who groans in displeasure.
Oink… Oink…
Swish… swish…
Tsunade makes some hand signs and reverse summons to Shikkotsu Forest.
---------
Whoosh…
She appears in Shikkotsu forest alongside chibi Katsuyu.
"Tsunade-sama!"
The main body of Katsuyu walks out of her cave.
"Where is he?" Tsunade asks her.
BOOM…
Another violent explosion rings in the distance.
Tsunade's expression turns ugly, and she turns towards the direction of the explosion.
"Everyone is worried about him and the first things he does after waking up is to create chaos."
Whoosh…
Tsunade enters Sage Mode and dashes in the explosion's direction.
Sigh…
The Main body Katsuyu, and the chibi Katsuyu sighs.
"She is acting like an angry housewife again!"
In the forest,
Izuna is floating in front of a giant croc.
"Yo! Your body looks sturdier than the previous guy. Look at those shiny scales. I am sure you can handle a beating."
The giant croc trembles in fear as he stares at Izuna with terror in his eyes. His neighbor, a giant python is tied around a tree in a bowtie knot.
Roar…
The croc roars at Izuna and warns him to not approach him. He opens his giant maw as his teeth glisten with sharpness.
"Hmm… Mother's birthday will arrive soon. Maybe I can give her a purse made of crocodile leather."
Izuna rests his palm against his chin as he scrutinizes the giant croc.
Brrr…
A shiver runs down the giant croc's spine as it notices Izuna's scrutinizing gaze.
"Roar… No… skin."
The crocodile mumbles some incoherent words.
"Oh! He has awakened his spiritual intelligence. Katsuyu! Add him to the list."
A chibi Katsuyu jumps from Izuna's shoulder and marks the giant croc's body.
"That makes it three. Seems like the wild animals of the Shikkotsu Forest are developing intelligence at a rapid rate."
Izuna pats the giant croc's head.
"Study well or else…"
Plop…
The giant crocodile falls on the ground and loses consciousness.
Sigh…
"What a weak-hearted croc?!"
Whoosh…
"IZUNA!!"
Tsunade is rapidly dashing towards Izuna. Her right hand is balled into a fist and it glows with a light green chakra.
Izuna has noticed her a long time ago.
"No, you don't."
Whoosh…
Tsunade phases through Izuna's body, who is nonchalantly floating at his place.
Bang…
Her punch shatters a nearby two-story rock into pieces.
"…"
Izuna breaks out in a cold sweat as he stares at the remains of the boulder.
'Phew! Thankfully, I avoided it. Otherwise, the concussion from a direct hit would have hospitalized me for a day."
"Yo! What's the big deal? I just woke up, and this is how you greet me." Izuna has a sour face as he complains.
Humph…
"Can't you see how worried we are? It has been a month since you went into a coma and the first thing you do is to squander around." Tsunade roars in anger.
"A month?! Shit!"
Izuna hurriedly grabs Tsunade's arm despite her resistance.
Whoosh…
He teleports to Konoha together with Tsunade.
