Rinnegan and Rikugan

In this complicated world, the most difficult thing to understand and control is time, like the gentle trickle of water, quietly slipping away when one isn't paying attention.

Since Satoru met Jiraiya, two months had passed peacefully.

Chakra refinement didn't happen overnight, but surprisingly, the process turned out to be quite easy for him.

It was much simpler than controlling the Cursed Energy!

This deeply moved him.

One day, while Jiraiya and Satoru were enjoying dinner, Konan rushed in, clearly something urgent was happening.

"Something's wrong, Jiraiya-sensei!"

In the past two months, through Jiraiya's careful teaching, the three orphaned children had mastered chakra condensation techniques and had the initial ability to defend themselves.

Initially, he didn't intend to teach Ninjutsu to these children, but Satoru found out as soon as he heard about it, and he insisted on teaching it to his friends.

So, Jiraiya taught them as well.

"What's going on?" Jiraiya was picking up a piece of fish and preparing to taste it.

"That's mine." Suddenly, the fish disappeared from his hand and fell into Satoru's hand.

A small blue ball appeared in Satoru's hand.

"You naughty kid, you used Ao to steal my meat!" Jiraiya yelled angrily.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Satoru! Yahiko and Nagato..."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Satoru stood up simultaneously, realizing that the situation was serious.

"What happened to them?"

"They encountered ninjas from another village!"

In an instant, Satoru's figure appeared next to Konan, and the speed was enough to make Jiraiya's eyes slightly freeze.

It was the precise directional movement achieved by Satoru through advanced Ao operation in two months. By accurately locating Ao, which was only effective for people and objects that needed to be moved, he minimized the distance between the starting point and the destination, achieving an effect close to teleportation.

But Satoru's current ability was limited.

This technique...

Now it had to be called Ninjutsu. The effective range of this Ninjutsu was limited to a hundred meters.

However, he was no longer the strongest Gojo Satoru as before.

"Take us to the scene." Satoru's face became serious.

This was the first time Jiraiya had seen him so angry.

The boy who always laughed and joked turned out to be very concerned about the safety of his friends.

Then, under Konan's leadership, the three of them quickly rushed to the open space one kilometer away from the cabin.

"Is this?"

They saw the figures of three people.

They were Yahiko, Nagato, and a ninja lying in a pool of blood.

"Jiraiya-sensei!" Yahiko ran up immediately.

He pointed to the ninja who fell to the ground and said, "This ninja from another village wanted to kill us!"

"Nagato..."

"Nagato, he..."

Following his finger, Jiraiya and Satoru looked at Nagato, who was kneeling on the ground.

In an instant, Jiraiya's expression became uncertain. His eyes focused on Nagato's eyes.

"These eyes..."

"That form..."

"The wave pattern..."

"Awesome."

"It's the most noble of the three main eye techniques—"

"Rinnegan."

Satoru, who was next to Jiraiya, heard his muttering, and he also looked at Nagato.

"Rinnegan?"

Because Nagato always covered his eyes with red hair, Jiraiya didn't realize that he had Rinnegan until now.

Satoru had always felt that Nagato's eyes were a bit strange before, until Jiraiya's words, only then did he explain his strange feeling towards Nagato's eyes.

Rinnegan, known as the most noble existence among the three main eye techniques, was perfectly interpreted by Nagato at this moment.

His eyes seemed to contain boundless power, making it impossible to look away.

"Rinnegan..." Satoru repeated softly, his blue eyes gleaming with curiosity.

At this moment, Jiraiya's face was full of surprise and confusion.

He had thought that he had seen all eye skills, but the appearance of Rinnegan undoubtedly shattered his awareness.

He knew that the power of these eyes was extraordinary, and at the same time, he also realized that there were greater secrets and responsibilities hidden in Nagato.

"Let's go back." Jiraiya said with a deep voice, walking towards Nagato and gently comforting him, "It's okay."

Satoru was still thinking.

When they returned home, it was already late at night.

After calming down the three frightened people, Jiraiya called Nagato to the door and decided to have a deep conversation with him.

Both Jiraiya and the Great Toad Sage believed that the prophesied child would be the one to save the world.

However, Jiraiya was initially not influenced by this prophecy.

But today, after finding out about Nagato's possession of Rinnegan, he began to reconsider the prophecy.

Rinnegan was known as the first eye technique among the three main eye techniques, and it had the potential to change everything.

In Nagato's eyes, Jiraiya saw endless love and hope for the future.

During the conversation with Nagato, he found that despite Nagato experiencing destruction due to war and losing his family, he still maintained his love and affection for the world.

This discovery made Jiraiya even more convinced that Nagato was the prophesied child.

It was late at night, and after the conversation, Jiraiya asked Nagato to go back home to rest.

"Come out, kid, don't hide, you've been eavesdropping for a long time." This time, Jiraiya's voice came from the door, with a hint of teasing.

Satoru lightly jumped from the roof and landed firmly on the ground.

He pouted and replied, "I just wanted to hear what you guys were talking about."

"It's not a good habit to stay up late and eavesdrop." Jiraiya pretended to be angry, but there was a smile in his eyes.

He knew about Satoru's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, which were his potentials to become a great ninja.

"Is Rinnegan really that important?" Satoru wasn't an immature kid. His mind had matured a long time ago. His mental age, which was over 20 years old, made him fully aware of the extraordinary value of Rinnegan.

Jiraiya nodded silently, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and whispered, "Perhaps, he is the key to changing this world."

Satoru had heard many similar statements in his previous life. But this time, he was no longer the center of attention.

Suddenly, Satoru felt stubborn to not admit defeat. He sat next to Jiraiya and asked calmly, "Can someone's future be determined just by a pair of eyes?"

Jiraiya glanced at him and said firmly, "What do you know, kid? Those aren't ordinary eyes, they're Rinnegan!"

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

However, Satoru disagreed and said calmly, "Rinnegan? So, what does it mean for my eyes?"

"You?" Jiraiya was momentarily stunned, then observed carefully, his expression turning serious: "Your eyes..."

"They're quite something."

"What?" Satoru chuckled at his response, but he didn't expect Jiraiya's remark about his Rikugan to be just a jest.

"But..." He shifted his gaze into the distance, namely at the moon Jiraiya had first seen: "This moon..."

"It seems a bit different from my previous life."
