Replay once.
Not clear.
Replay twice.
Still not clear.
Replay ten times!
Urashiki still couldn't see how Naruto suddenly appeared before him.
Replay a hundred times!
Otsutsuki Urashiki's brow furrowed. He couldn't understand how Naruto appeared. Even using the Rinnegan's time reversal to experience it a hundred times was futile.
The reason was simple: time reversal is just a rewind ability. It only allowed him to experience being approached by Naruto instantaneously several times, nothing more.
Moreover, Naruto's speed was extremely fast, so fast that Otsutsuki Urashiki couldn't react, and his Rinnegan couldn't capture the high-speed movement. So, whether he reversed time a hundred or even a thousand times, it was useless; what was unclear remained unclear.
Time reversal is indeed powerful, but if the user's strength is too weak, then it cannot bring out the full potential of this ability.
"The blue Rinnegan seems to have some power over time," Naruto thought carefully and said with a smile, "I guess... it's time reversal, right?"
'He saw through it.'
Otsutsuki Urashiki was shocked.
"To use a time-based power like this, you're quite pure," Naruto sighed with a sense of admiration, then continued with a slight smile, "Of all the beings I've encountered, you're the one who has used space-time abilities the worst, without a doubt."
He had practiced the Laws of Time in Teyvat, so he could feel the fluctuations of time to some extent. When Otsutsuki Urashiki used time reversal, he also sensed some anomalies.
'Tch, there's no choice but to flee now. What's the deal with this guy! Is this the young Naruto? How many times weaker have you become over the years!'
While gritting his teeth, Urashiki's eyes instantly switched from the blue Rinnegan to the six Tomoe red Rinnegan, activating a space-time portal as quickly as possible.
He leaped backward at top speed, diving into the spatial tunnel. As long as he could enter the tunnel, as long as he could reach that place...
"Where do you think you're going?"
A cold and playful voice rang out. Between him and the spatial tunnel behind him, a hand firmly grasped his back, preventing him from retreating any further.
Otsutsuki Urashiki's face nearly turned green as he clenched his teeth and slowly turned his head, his expression filled with terror.
"Sorry, your abilities are too dangerous," Naruto said, raising his hand.
At Orochimaru's Base
"Is this guy a living Otsutsuki?"
Orochimaru, visibly shaken, asked as he looked at Otsutsuki Urashiki, who had been brought back by Naruto with his eyes removed.
"Yes, this guy's abilities are a bit troublesome. His Rinnegan has the power to control space and time; without removing them, it's hard to ensure he won't escape," Naruto replied with a nod.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
Orochimaru's gaze wandered over Urashiki, his greedy desire impossible to hide.
"I want you to study a new system through him," Naruto stated simply.
"A new system?"
"That's right. The elemental cultivation system is strong, but it requires a lot of time to accumulate, or a certain degree of elemental talent, and it's not suitable for everyone. So, I want you to help me develop a new system, a high Infinity new cultivation system," Naruto explained.
To become stronger in elemental power cultivation, one either needs strong innate talent or must spend a lot of time accumulating it, enhancing one's adaptability to the corresponding element, which is essentially improving one's talent.
For those with short cultivation time and little talent for elemental power cultivation, it's difficult to practice.
"Oh? You shouldn't need this, right?"
Orochimaru asked, raising an eyebrow curiously.
In his eyes, Naruto had already perfected elemental power cultivation. In this world, he was the pinnacle of the elemental power cultivation system. Even if this system required a lot of time or enough talent to become strong, it didn't matter to him; he was already strong enough and didn't need a high Infinity weak protection system.
"But Chouji and Shikamaru do," Naruto said with a smile.
"Just for that?"
Orochimaru was stunned and asked.
"We're friends," Naruto leaned back, revealing a confident smile that was hard to read. It seemed like a whim, yet it also appeared to be a long-considered plan.
"Just friends?"
Orochimaru snapped back to reality, also displaying a playful smile.
"Isn't that enough?"
Naruto countered.
"Enough, more than enough. Naruto, you really are an interesting person, haha."
Orochimaru laughed heartily. Perhaps Naruto's purpose was simple, or maybe it wasn't, but that didn't matter to him.
What mattered was that Naruto's carefree attitude reminded him of his old team, the one known as the Sannin. He too had such friends once, and that feeling was truly nice.
"Before I met him, I never dreamed that such a weak person could possess the Rinnegan, and even use two types of Rinnegan, with the ability to manipulate time. He shattered my perceptions, giving me a whole new understanding of the Otsutsuki and the Rinnegan, and thus, this idea," Naruto reflected.
In his opinion, setting aside the power of the Rinnegan, Otsutsuki Urashiki's overall strength was weak, his combat experience was lacking, and his mentality was poor. For such a person to possess the Rinnegan indicated that the eye itself did not have a high threshold for acquisition.
The key lay in whether there was a path!
As long as there was a path, one could easily awaken the Rinnegan, and the personal requirements were not high. For those without a path, there was absolutely no possibility of awakening it!
For example, the adult Sasuke also had the Rinnegan, and according to his account, his awakening of the Rinnegan was actually with the help of Rikudou Sennin, not on his own.
So...
Obtaining the Rinnegan could indeed rely on the help of others, which undoubtedly confirmed the speculation that the difficulty of acquiring the Rinnegan could be reduced through special means.
Simply put, the requirements for obtaining the Rinnegan might not be high for the user; the difficulty lies in the fact that most people have no path to follow, no way to proceed. Naruto's visit to Orochimaru was to see if he could find this path through him, allowing those with relatively weaker abilities to also gain great power.
"It's simple for him, but difficult for us."
Orochimaru, being shrewd, naturally understood the meaning behind Naruto's words. But now, even he had not obtained the Rinnegan, so how could he dare say he could help Naruto find this path? Even with Urashiki available for study, he couldn't be completely sure he could do it.
His gaze gradually changed as he continued, "The leader of the Akatsuki organization also possesses the Rinnegan, and its use requires the consumption of a large amount of chakra. I think it might be difficult for ordinary people to bear, so perhaps it's better to start with improving one's physique."
