Next up was the Super-Kage-level lottery.
Naruto activated it with great anticipation.
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the reward: Tenseigan."
"Tenseigan?!" Naruto's eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.
The next moment, a strange ripple passed through his eyes.
When he opened them again, his already sky-blue irises were now tinged with strands of glowing white—beautiful and mysterious.
The world suddenly looked sharper.
And along with the awakening of his new eyes, their powers flooded into his mind.
But Naruto quickly realized—
his version of the Tenseigan wasn't exactly like the one from the original story.
Tenseigan Base Abilities:
Gravity & Repulsion –
Equivalent to the Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push) and Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull).
Ocular Devour –
Naruto could absorb other eyes, assimilate their dojutsu, and integrate them into his Tenseigan.
Tenseigan Chakra Mode –
Activated form that greatly boosts all physical stats.
Among these, the second ability caught Naruto's attention the most:
He could devour and absorb other eyes.
He didn't have access to techniques like Truth-Seeking Silver Explosion or Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, but…
If he collected enough eyes, his Tenseigan could become absolutely monstrous.
Naruto decided to try it.
He raised his hand and activated Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull).
A large boulder in the distance flew straight toward him—
then, right before impact, he switched to Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push).
BOOM!
The boulder was crushed between repulsion and attraction—instantly reduced to dust.
If this worked on solid stone, living targets didn't stand a chance.
What shocked Naruto even more—
was that unlike Pain's Rinnegan, there was no cooldown after using Shinra Tensei.
As long as he had enough chakra and ocular power, he could use it freely.
Inside the seal, Kurama stared at Naruto's transforming eyes in stunned silence.
"...Is this even scientifically possible?"
But Kurama had seen enough by now not to ask too many questions.
He already suspected Naruto was hiding something big.
Naruto pulled out three glass jars, each filled with a green nutrient solution.
Floating inside were three Sharingan, each shining crimson with a single tomoe:
One was Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō
One was Itachi's Mangekyō
One was Kakashi's Kamui Mangekyō
He poured the eyes into his palm, liquid dripping between his fingers.
The Tenseigan shimmered with divine light.
The Sharingan began to tremble slightly—
as if called by some invisible force.
Then—
All three were sucked in, reduced to streaks of red light, and absorbed by Naruto's eyes.
He felt a chill spread from his eye sockets.
And then…
Kotoamatsukami, Kamui, Susanoo—
All instantly mastered.
The power-up was so intense, Naruto almost wanted to throw his head back and laugh like a maniac.
But he held it in.
"No wonder Sasuke liked to laugh so much...
This kind of power leap with zero effort is… addictive."
He got curious.
"What would my Susanoo look like?"
Naruto didn't hesitate.
He channeled his chakra and summoned it at full force.
BOOOOOOM!!
A raging storm of energy exploded outward.
A massive armored giant with a katana formed around him—towering several hundred meters tall.
The pressure alone made the island sink several inches, the earth groaning under its weight.
Its eyes shone the same sea-blue hue as Naruto's Tenseigan.
It wasn't just bigger than Kurama.
It rivaled the Ten-Tails.
Naruto stood at the top of the energy crystal on its head, looking down on the now-miniature world.
Down below, Hidan and the Cauliflower Snake stared up in abject horror.
"T-th-this... that freak again?!" Hidan stammered.
But no one was more shaken than Kurama.
He couldn't hold back anymore.
"Naruto! Your eyes! That's not a Sharingan—how the hell are you using that?! That's supposed to be Uchiha Madara's technique!!"
And truth be told, this Susanoo felt even bigger than Madara's.
Naruto grinned.
"What's wrong, Kurama? Scared?"
The fox bristled.
"Y-you wish! As if I'd be scared!!"
But his shaky tone betrayed him.
The memories of getting slammed around by Susanoo were still fresh…
Naruto deactivated Susanoo and floated in mid-air.
With the Tenseigan, gravity was his to control.
Flying was now second nature.
Three Days Later
"New Mission: Enter the Chūnin Exams and become a Chūnin."
Reward: Unlocked travel between this world and your original one.
Naruto paused, blinking.
Wait, travel between worlds?
He immediately asked the system:
"Will I return in my current body, or my old one?"
Because if he had to go back in his original, powerless body—
No thanks.
He wasn't going back to being weak.
"You will retain your current body in any world."
That settled it.
If he could return to the modern world like this, there was a lot he could do.
"Chūnin Exams, huh?"
Naruto smiled and vanished.
Meanwhile — Hidden Sound Village
Orochimaru was in the middle of working on a new gene-editing experiment…
Specifically:
turning men into women without side effects.
Suddenly, Naruto appeared beside him.
Orochimaru didn't flinch.
He calmly set aside his tools and spoke first.
"Naruto-kun, perfect timing. I was just planning something you might find interesting."
"I call it—The Konoha Collapse Plan."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Let's hear it."
Even though he already knew the gist, there might be surprises.
Orochimaru let out his signature raspy laugh.
"Hehehe… I plan to collaborate with the Hidden Sand."
"During the upcoming Chūnin Exams, we'll launch a massive raid on Konoha."
"If everything goes well, those villagers you despise will suffer horribly."
"And that old man—the Third Hokage—his curtain call is long overdue."
His tone turned solemn.
"What do you think?"
Naruto nodded.
So far, the plan seemed unchanged.
"Sounds good. Count me in."
Orochimaru blinked in surprise.
Naruto joining was unexpected.
