> "As long as you can help me reclaim the Snow Kingdom, I'll agree to anything you ask!"Fenghua Xiaoxue stared at Uzumaki Naruto for a long time before finally making her decision. At this moment, Naruto was her only hope of taking back her homeland.As for what Naruto wanted? Wasn't it just the wealth of the Snow Country? To her, that wasn't such a big deal anymore.---Scene: Shinobi Commentary PanelOhnoki: "That princess from the Snow Country is still too naïve. From what I can tell, Naruto's target has never been the Snow Kingdom's treasure."Fuuka Koyuki: "What a pity… If Naruto-kun were just a little older…"Yamanaka Ino: "Huh??? What are you even saying?!"Jiraiya: "Ahhh, if only I had done a bit more research on that princess before leaving the Snow Country. I could've included her in my next novel… Maybe even make it into a movie called 'The Secret of Snow!'"Kakashi: "Really? That sounds like a masterpiece already. I'd definitely buy a copy. I look forward to the film version, Jiraiya-sama!"Ebisu: "Requesting resources! Waiting online!"Tsunade: "Ugh… the men of Konoha are truly hopeless sometimes."Hashirama: "Hahaha! Tsunade, being Hokage isn't easy, is it?"Tobirama: "And you can still laugh, brother? If Naruto really takes over the Snow Country, the Fire Country might be next!"Hashirama: "So what? Naruto is the Child of Prophecy. Everything he does will shape the future of the ninja world. Try to look at it positively, Tobirama!"Tobirama: "Tch… It's all the Uchiha Clan's fault!"Itachi: "…"---Scene: Within Naruto's Inner WorldA small wooden boat floated gently on a vast lake. Naruto sat cross-legged on its surface, eyes closed, seemingly meditating—but within his mind, he was actively studying the secrets of the Rinnegan.> "Naruto… you may be able to use the Rinnegan now, but can you control it?""???"Naruto slowly turned in his spiritual world, where the enormous figure of Kurama, the Nine Tails, stared at him warily. Beads of sweat glistened on the giant fox's forehead.The Rinnegan—the legendary eye even more terrifying than the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—emitted a pressure that made even the mighty Nine Tails deeply uneasy.> "I know you didn't mean to attack me with it, but that eye… it makes me very uncomfortable."Naruto looked a bit aggrieved.> "Umm… Kurama, isn't this my inner world?"> "Hmph! I don't care!"> "Come on, don't be so petty. Let me show you something fun."> "Huh?"Naruto stood up and patted his clothes. Facing Kurama with a mischievous grin, the Rinnegan in his eyes rotated slightly. In the next instant, an invisible wave of energy spread from Naruto's body, rippling outward through the spiritual realm.The ripples raced toward Kurama—followed by a violent explosion centered directly on the Nine Tails!Kurama's massive body twisted uncontrollably. Its expression turned instantly from annoyance to panic.Despite its strength, the Nine Tails found itself helpless before Naruto's gaze. It couldn't resist at all!Boom!!With a thunderous explosion, Kurama was launched backward like a cannonball. As it flew, its immense body tore apart under the immense pressure!> "What kind of power is this…?"Though Kurama was in pain, it wasn't fatal. After all, this was the spiritual realm—its body was made of chakra, not flesh and blood. Naruto's attack had only scattered its essence, not destroyed it.Still, it was enough to deeply shake the Nine Tails.> He didn't even use his Rasengan. Just one look—one technique—and he sent me flying? Naruto's only a kid!Kurama was stunned.Just as it tried to process what had happened, Naruto's voice echoed through the space.> "Hey, Kurama!"Kurama looked up—only to find its massive body whole again, as if it had never been blown apart!There was no pain. No damage. Nothing.Everything was… back to normal?> "Was it all an illusion…?"Kurama narrowed its eyes. It was sure that what just happened was real. That feeling of being powerless, like a puppet, wasn't something it could ever forget.> "There's no way that was just an illusion… It was too real."> "Naruto… what did you do?"Naruto gave a sheepish grin.> "Sorry, big fox. I just gained a new insight into the Rinnegan and couldn't resist testing it out on you."> "Tch!"Kurama snorted, releasing a puff of red chakra gas from its nose in irritation. Still, it was curious.> "So what the heck was that?"> "In short," Naruto explained, "those were the two new abilities I just developed with my Rinnegan. The first is the power of space."> "Space manipulation?"> "Exactly!"Naruto held out a hand, and Kurama immediately felt a powerful suction force. Despite its size, it couldn't help but be pulled forward toward Naruto!Before it could resist further, Naruto's eyes changed again—this time unleashing a massive repulsion force!The push and pull took Kurama by surprise, and it tumbled uncontrollably through the air—before being pulled back again by another gravitational wave!Kurama's face twisted in alarm.> "What… you can just pull and push me around by changing your eyes?! I'm not some toy!"Seeing Kurama's disbelief, Naruto continued calmly.> "Rinnegan grants control over gravitational and repulsive forces within a certain range. What you just experienced was a simple application of push and pull."> "Simple?! That felt like I was being tossed in a hurricane!"Naruto chuckled. "And that's only if you use them separately. If you combine gravity and repulsion at the same time—something even more interesting happens."He glanced at one of Kurama's tails.Kurama turned just in time to see one of its tails twist unnaturally—then explode into glowing fragments!> "What in the world?!"> "Are those the two abilities you just realized, Naruto?" Kurama asked in disbelief.> "Nope. That's just the first one."Naruto grinned. With another change in his Rinnegan's pattern, the shattered tail miraculously reformed and returned to normal.> "This is the second ability: Time Reversal!"Kurama's eyes widened again.> "Wait… you can reverse time?"> "Only in a limited range," Naruto clarified. "I can use the Rinnegan to reverse an object or person to a previous state. Right now, I'm still experimenting—but it's incredibly useful."> "You're telling me you can play with gravity and time? That's cheating!"> "Heh, blame the Rinnegan, not me."Kurama muttered under its breath, clearly shaken. These abilities weren't just strong—they were overwhelming. If Naruto could master them fully, he'd become a force no one in the ninja world could rival.---Scene: Shinobi Commentary Panel (Again)Ohnoki: "He can manipulate space and time already? What is this kid becoming…"Tsunade: "This is far beyond the average ninja's capability. Even Madara didn't do this much with his Rinnegan!"Raikage: "I'm starting to worry that even the Five Great Nations won't be able to contain him."Killer Bee: "Yo, better not get on his bad side, or he'll reverse your flow—make you un-rap what you wrote!"Itachi: "The abilities Naruto is developing… they're not just powers. They're declarations."Tobirama: "I told you all! This is the Uchiha's fault! Always with their eyes!"Hashirama: "Come now, brother. Look on the bright side—at least Naruto's not using it for evil."Jiraiya: "With these powers, maybe he'll be the one to truly bring peace…"Kakashi: "Or bring everything to ruin, depending on who provokes him."---Back in Naruto's MindKurama narrowed its eyes, still wary.> "So you've got space manipulation… time reversal… What's next? Reality bending?"Naruto smirked.> "Maybe. Who knows what the Rinnegan still holds?"Kurama sighed and muttered under its breath.> "Damn brat… you're scarier than any villain I've ever fought."Naruto chuckled.> "Thanks, Kurama. That means a lot!"> "I didn't mean it as a compliment!"But even as Kurama grumbled, a hint of admiration flickered in its gaze. Naruto, once a boy struggling to control even his own chakra, had now stepped onto a path few could imagine—wielding powers that transcended even the legends of the past.And this was just the beginning.
