****************
Hearing Hanabi's cry, Colt's head was covered in black lines, and he subconsciously looked around to see if there were any people passing by.
If there were, he'd consider whether to silence them or not.
This little girl couldn't keep quiet. Didn't she realize that saying stuff like this could be dangerous?
"If you want to seriously train, then keep your silence and move"
With a dark face, he told the little girl to keep quiet.
Colt kept correcting their mistakes in posture, occasionally wiping sweat from both her and Hinata's brows with a towel.
"Alright, let's stop here," Colt finally spoke up two hours later, realizing that the two had reached their limits.
Immediately, Hinata and Hanabi relaxed, collapsing into his arms one after another.
Using the healing technique to help them relieve their physical pain, Colt encouraged.
"You both did very well. When you get home, make sure to eat plenty to replenish your energy. Especially you, Hinata. I like how you can eat so many bowls in one meal. Keep doing that, and you'll reach your goal sooner"
"I hate you, Colt," Hinata blushed with shame, steam practically coming out of her ears.
The usually soft and cute girl even took the initiative to hit Colt playfully with her hand.
However, in Hanabi's eyes on the other side of Colt, this clearly looked like flirting.
The little girl puffed out her cheeks in anger.
After a short rest, Hinata barely regained her mobility.
Meanwhile, Hanabi, due to her young age and underdeveloped body, had fallen into a drowsy sleep.
Colt gently cradled the younger sister in his arms, concluding today's training.
After sending Hanabi home, it was just Colt and Hinata's time together.
Compared to Ino, Hinata's temperament was undoubtedly quieter.
She enjoyed her time with Colt, happy no matter what they did.
They brewed some tea and bought a few beautiful pastries, spending the afternoon leisurely in the courtyard at home chatting and eating.
After dinner, Colt sent Hinata home as usual, planning to spend the night at Kurenai's house.
Suddenly, his eyes turned blood red uncontrollably, and the 3-Tomoe inside them started spinning wildly.
Colt's expression changed, and he used the [Flying Thunder God] to return to his bedroom without hesitation.
The Mangekyō Sharingan's power was skyrocketing wildly, and the rapidly increasing strength made his eyes feel unbearable.
Two lines of blood flowed out directly, looking ferocious and terrifying on his handsome face.
Fortunately, no one else was around.
Finally, the Mangekyō's power reached a terrifying magnitude and stopped changing. There was a slight tingling in his eyebrows.
Colt opened his eyes; the Mangekyō in his pupils had turned into a cool-looking pattern that was extraordinarily gorgeous.
(E/N: Don't know if this is what the author had in mind, but I chose this design)
Like Indra himself, Colt achieved the Eternal Mangekyō without undergoing an eye transplant.
The vast ocular power could recover by itself even if consumed.
Not only that, Colt's Sage Body and his eyes were resonating.
Ultimate yang power and Ultimate yin power constantly entangled and fused.
"When two mutually exclusive forces combine, all kinds of things become possible," Colt murmured in a low voice.
The Mangekyō's power stopped growing, but a brand new higher level of power was slowly being conceived.
Initially, Uchiha Madara bit a piece of Senju Hashirama's flesh, and it took most of his life to evolve his eyes into the Rinnegan.
Colt, having a complete Sage Body, would greatly shorten this time. According to his estimates, it would take about two and a half years for his Rinnegan to form.
Looking at his own stomach, Colt thought about another of his own abilities...
'Ah, power.'
With the Rinnegan alone, he couldn't be called a Six Paths-level powerhouse. The conditions for achieving the Six Paths level of power were very harsh in the ninja world.
After all, except for the Eight Gates 'Guy', an "ordinary ninja" who relied only on his body to bloom instantaneously, or waiting for the Sage of Six Paths to bestow power temporarily on them. One needed to either absorb a certain amount of the Ten-Tails chakra or use the Rinnegan to master the Six Paths techniques.
So, having a pair of Rinnegans could only count as a ticket to the Six Paths level.
Colt's growth route was to save enough points to exchange for a Gedo Statue that belonged to him after achieving the Rinnegan. Finally, he would merge it into his body and achieve the Six Paths level.
Essentially, it was about turning himself into a brand new Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.
He turned off his Mangekyō, washed the blood stains off his face, and didn't even bother to look for Kurenai at that moment.
The power in his body was constantly changing, and he needed to fully appreciate the wonderful feeling when the two attributes of yin and yang, or otherwise known as Indra and Asura, merged.
The next day, Colt hadn't slept all night but was in good spirits.
After a night of research, although he didn't understand much about the two attributes, he had gained a lot of insights into the integration of other Chakra attributes from these two.
It was worthy of being called omnipotent, with them basically having the ability to touch the truth of all things.
Colt got up and went out to the Hokage Building.
"Nee-san, can you give me a copy of the chakra training method?"
Pushing open the door of the Hokage's office, Colt once again looked at Tsunade, who was working at her desk.
"You're still coming to me for this trivial matter? Shizune, give him the scroll."
Tsunade didn't even lift her head; she had to finish the tasks ahead of schedule today to go to the newly opened casino in Konoha and have a good time.
Shizune put down Tonton, took out a scroll after a bit, and handed it to Colt.
"Thank you, Shizune-san. I'll be going then."
Colt said and casually glanced at the Second Hokage statue outside the window.
As he grabbed the scroll, he remembered that he had forgotten something.
He took out the Thunder God sword from his ninja pouch and restored it to its original size with [Sukunahikona].
"Nee-san, this Thunder God sword is the famous sword of the Second Hokage. I'm returning it to you now."
He explained the origin of the sword and the mission he did back then.
Hearing this, Tsunade raised her head, walked in front of Colt, and took the sword in her hand.
With the injection of her Chakra, the sword body lit up with yellow light, and there was a crackling electric current.
"I haven't seen this sword in a long time." Tsunade's tone was somewhat emotional.
When she was a child, she often used this sword to tease Nawaki.
Yes, the treasures that were extremely valuable to outsiders were actually Tsunade's childhood toys.
After playing with it for a while, Tsunade threw the sword back to Colt.
"This thing is useless in my hands. You can keep it."

"In the direction of point B, there's an exploding tag trap."
**********
"Copy that."
**********
"There are also three rogue ninjas guarding the room where the target is. I'll control them, and Ino is in charge of finishing them off."
**********
Outside a manor, the Ino–Shika–Chō trio communicated via radio earpieces.
A strategy was quickly decided upon between the three.
By extending the [Shadow Possession Jutsu] from the yard's pole, Shikamaru easily controlled the unsuspecting rogue ninjas.
Ino rushed up swiftly, wielding her newly acquired Thunder God Sword, and casually swung it, stunning the enemy with electricity.
Just like that, the fight was over.
"Well done, Ino. Your physical skills have improved significantly," Colt's voice suddenly appeared behind her.
Ino turned with a smile and gave him a hug.
While she did get faster and stronger than before, it was still thanks to the sword that she found the missions easier now.
"It's just easy to use the Thunder God Sword that you gave me. I'm now the main attacker of the team, hehe."
Shikamaru reluctantly came over and untied the rope on the hostage they were tasked to save.
He wondered why he always ended up doing the least exciting task on every mission.
Also, Ino's fighting style had changed drastically.
She was supposed to be a ninja specializing in perception and control techniques.
'So, what's the deal with rushing in with a sword head first?'
In fact, Colt also had a headache about this.
Tsunade didn't retrieve the Thunder God Sword and gave it to him, and it was useless to hold it in his hand, so he simply handed it over to Ino to add some attack power to her rather empty arsenal.
However, when she got the Thunder God Sword, Ino liked it so much that she didn't even use her family's secret technique now. Whenever there was a chance, she would rush to strike with her sword.
As for why Colt was accompanying the Ino–Shika–Chō trio on missions? It wasn't because of any shortage of Konoha's manpower or something like that.
He had just originally planned to go flower-viewing with Ino today, but one thing led to the other and it turned into a joint mission somehow.
On the way back to the village, Asuma looked at Ino and Colt, whose hands were locked, with a complicated expression.
Why was his love experience so smooth, and it was so difficult for him?
'Sigh'
Recently, Kurenai had even started to ignore him, saying that she wasn't interested in anything to do with him.
A gust of wind blew, and Asuma felt something land on his head. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and a few leaves appeared in his hand.
"Colt-san! Hokage-sama requests your immediate presence at the Hokage building!" An ANBU appeared in front of them just as Colt and Ino were separating from Shikamaru and the others, planning to get something delicious to eat.
Colt frowned slightly.
The ANBU's tone was urgent; it seemed that something serious had happened.
He looked at Ino apologetically.
"It looks like I'll have to accompany you another time."
Ino nodded and after a brief hug, she started going running after her teammates.
"See you later, Colt"
She could be eccentric, but she wasn't ignorant.
Watching her retreating back, Colt smiled and then said to the ANBU.
"I'll go ahead first."
With that, he instantly disappeared from the ANBU's sight.
In the Hokage's Office, Tsunade smashed the desk in front of her with a punch, scattering the documents on it across the floor.
"Does the Hidden Cloud Village really think Konoha can be bullied so easily?!" A powerful aura swept through her body, her blonde hair fluttering in the air.
At that moment, Colt appeared in the office instantly.
Looking at the mess on the floor, he asked Shizune in a low voice.
"Is it that day of the month?"
Shizune quietly shook her head, but she hid a small laugh beneath her hand.
"You two, this is not the time for this" If it was in the past, Tsunade would still chat with Colt and joke around before reaching the point, but the news she had got, just had her in a foul mood.
"What's the matter?" This was the first time Colt had seen Tsunade so angry and serious.
"The Cloud shinobis have been carrying out missions across the Fire Country border, provoking our patrolling ninjas. Just yesterday, another clash broke out as usual. But this time two special Jōnin were killed, and a genin named Kosuke Maruboshi was also seriously injured."
She had still been explaining but at the mention of the genin…
*BOOM!*
The floor under Colt's feet sank a bit with a bang. Dense cracks spread all around them.
Shizune looked at all this with a wry smile.
After today, the entire Hokage office would need some renovation.
"Give me the relevant information. I'll head over immediately."
Kosuke Maruboshi was Colt's first teacher in a true sense, and he was grateful for his unreserved teaching.
Now these Cloud shinobis had actually wounded him.
And from listening to Tsunade's tone, it was likely not an ordinary minor injury.
Colt was furious and couldn't wait to rush to the border immediately.
"Wait a minute, I'll assign you an ANBU team." Tsunade started to say but before she could finish, Colt interrupted her.
"No, they're too slow. Just tell me what I need."
His Sharingan activated quietly out of anger.
He wasn't directing that anger at her though, but he was simply asking Tsunade for permission to go berserk.
"Go ahead! As long as you can handle it, beat those Cloud shinobis and bring them to me!"
Although she was new to the post, Tsunade was far more decisive than the Third Hokage, she was a true tough leader.
"However, you still need to be careful. Your future is definitely worth more than this. Don't act solely on impulse..."
In the future, Colt would undoubtedly become an existence comparable to Senju Hashirama, but he was still young and had only been learning the Wood Style for a month or two.
As Tsunade spoke, her voice kept dropping, and she thought of Nawaki again. She was almost tempted to not let him go…
Seeing Tsunade's concern and the sudden wave of sadness that hit her, Colt felt warmth in his heart.
He stepped forward, hugged the suddenly vulnerable Tsunade, and said softly.
"Don't worry. Although I haven't mastered the Wood Style yet, another power of mine is almost at that level."
After saying that, he took the information scroll from Shizune's hands and started walking out.
"Be careful," Tsunade said with a laugh after she recovered, surprised to be comforted by someone so much younger than her.
Colt was gone. At his speed, he could reach his destination in two hours.
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade called for the ANBU who had been looking for Colt earlier.
"Neko, rush to the border with the sixth squad. If Colt encounters any danger, protect him even at the cost of your lives."
"Roger, Hokage-sama!"
After arranging everything, Tsunade's face suddenly showed shock as she recalled what Colt had just said.
'Another power almost on that level?'
At the Root base, a Root ninja stood before Danzō.
"Danzo-sama, Kamiyo Colt is already traveling to the border of the Land of Lightning, and the Fifth Hokage has dispatched the sixth ANBU squad to follow after him."
Danzō nodded.
"What about our people?"
"They've arrived at the designated location. If Kamiyo Colt is heading to the border, he'll definitely pass through there."
Danzō wasn't at all surprised by Colt's actions.
After all, he had also gotten involved in Kosuke's situation, but it deviated slightly from the plan.
Originally, he wanted to use the Cloud shinobis to get rid of that old guy.
Who would have thought that they would actually let him run away?
But this time, Danzō's eyes gradually sharpened. He decided to let the Root operatives handle it themselves.
