Chapter 328: Uchiha Shisui's Metamorphosis!
Looking at the calm and confident Evil God, Sarutobi Asuma smiled, "You won't get a chance to break free!"
As his voice fell, the Sage Tree's branches rapidly extended, wrapping around the Evil God bit by bit.
By the time the Evil God was bound like a zongzi and hung up, its mental consciousness was also pulled into the Dream Space.
At this moment, this vast dreamscape had already reached over one hundred thousand layers.
The Evil God wanted to escape the dream, but every time it jumped out of one dream, it fell into another. The dreams cycled endlessly, as if they were infinite.
Simultaneously, the Sage Tree was continuously absorbing the physical and mental power from its body.
However, the Evil God's abilities were truly astonishing. Even as the Sage Tree continuously absorbed its power, this absorption was being redirected, with the Sage Tree now absorbing the power of the Evil God's followers.
Fortunately, the Evil God's followers were all scummy individuals, so Sarutobi Asuma had no qualms about it.
As long as all the Evil God's followers were dead, the Evil God's demise would be sealed.
At that time, the Sage Tree would devour him completely!
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but laugh as he said to Tsunade and Yūhi Kurenai, "Perhaps after devouring the Evil God, we can yield a second Sage Fruit!"
Tsunade said, "We still don't know how many followers this Evil God has managed to develop."
"No matter how many, with the Sage Tree's power, it will be consumed quickly."
Sarutobi Asuma could feel the Sage Tree's power growing at an astonishing rate.
"Let's go, back to Konoha."
Sarutobi Asuma said.
Yūhi Kurenai asked, "Does this alternate dimension need to be guarded?"
Sarutobi Asuma shook his head, "No, it's very far from the Ninja World."
"Besides, no one can guard it better than the Sage Tree itself."
...
When Sarutobi Asuma returned to the Alliance headquarters and announced the sealing of the Evil God, cheers erupted throughout the entire Alliance.
It could be said that this was the largest operation undertaken since the establishment of the Alliance.
The power of the War Fortress was something that even most Alliance ninja were witnessing for the first time.
Sarutobi Asuma clearly felt that the sense of belonging and cohesion among Alliance ninja had soared dramatically.
The honor and sense of belonging brought about by this war were far greater than ten years of previous cultivation, which surprised Sarutobi Asuma somewhat.
However, this was clearly a good thing.
Once the cohesion was sufficient, the Alliance could be disbanded, and the Ninja World would truly become a single nation.
"We can't rush this..."
Sarutobi Asuma felt he had plenty of time to wait.
As the older generation gradually stepped down, or even passed away, and the new generation grew up under the Alliance, everything would become a non-issue.
Not to mention, he was also instilling the ideology of unification through education in the schools.
...
After returning to Konoha from the Alliance, Sarutobi Asuma resumed his life of raising children.
Tsunade had given him another set of twins, daughters named Sarutobi Shingetsu and Sarutobi Sengetsu.
Yūhi Kurenai had given birth to another son, named Sarutobi Shin'nosuke.
Shizune had also given birth to a son, named Sarutobi Ryūun.
The four little ones were of similar age, now nine years old, and Sarutobi Asuma spent his days accompanying them in training and cultivation.
As for the already older Nawaki, Oto, and Hina, they had been completely handed over to Tsunade and the others for guidance.
There was no way around it; he was a doting father.
As the little ones gradually grew up, they inevitably became a bit rebellious, and only Tsunade's iron fist could effectively suppress them.
...
Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Uchiha Shisui arrived at the Sage Domain, bringing good news.
Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan had begun to evolve; he could already feel his eyes undergoing a transformation, a budding awakening.
"Good, hahaha!"
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but laugh heartily after hearing Uchiha Shisui's report.
This was because Uchiha Shisui had reached this point through his own cultivation.
He had chosen the most difficult path, but also the most promising one.
The imminent awakening of the Rinnegan meant that Uchiha Shisui's Chakra Control and Yin-Yang Chakra Nature Transformation had both reached the Six Paths level.
This is completely different from the power-up Uchiha Sasuke received forcibly from the Sage of Six Paths.
After a moment of thought, Sarutobi Asuma said, "Let's go to the moon!"
"Go cultivate under the Sage Tree there; its power can accelerate the transformation of your Rinnegan."
Since they had reached this point, absorbing the Sage Tree's power would no longer be like forcing growth.
He was also very eager to see what unique Dojutsu Uchiha Shisui would possess after awakening his Rinnegan.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Uchiha Shisui did not refuse.
Sarutobi Asuma continued, "The training for Chakra Nature Transformation and Chakra Control cannot stop. Although it will become more difficult later on, it is the foundation for moving forward."
He could teach him everything without reservation, but he couldn't guarantee whether Uchiha Shisui could learn it; it would depend on him alone.
Uchiha Shisui said earnestly, "Teacher, I will not stop moving forward!"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "How is Itachi's training going?"
Uchiha Shisui smiled, "Itachi's Mangekyo has entered its Mangekyo state, and his progress with the Lightning Style Chakra Mode training has also been very rapid."
"At this rate, he might awaken his Rinnegan in less time than me."
