**************
Colt was deep in thought.
In the Naruto world, Naruto had two key power-ups: the Sage Mode and the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
The ultimate form for him was the Six Paths Sage Mode.
Both were indispensable to the protagonist.
With only the Sage Mode now, Naruto's limit would be slightly above Jiraiya's level.
His Sage body and vast Chakra would make him comparable to Pain.
But that was it.
Only by combining the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and the Sage Mode could he approach Hashirama Senju in strength.
Now that Killer B was gone, how would Naruto achieve the perfect Jinchuriki status?
While eating his fourth bowl of ramen, Colt pondered for solutions.
One option was to get Killer B's corpse through Kisame and use [Edo Tensei] to have him teach Naruto the tailed beast control.
But Colt wouldn't be able to fully control a reanimated Killer B to share everything.
This method was unfeasible.
The second option was Yugito.
According to her, she had also achieved perfect Jinchuriki status before being captured by the Akatsuki.
'I'll have her try first. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else,' Colt decided.
He didn't immediately tell Naruto about the new training plan.
Jiraiya was still alive, and these things should be his master's responsibility.
Plus, Mount Myoboku had the seal key left by Minato Namikaze, which Jiraiya should know better about.
When Hinata finished her Thirteenth bowl of extra-large ramen, Teuchi's smile had become rather strained.
Hinata at least in this regard, no longer was shy.
After parting ways with Naruto and Iruka, Colt escorted the others home before returning with Yakumo and Temari.
Tsunade had tasked him with helping Konoha's engineering team repair the village walls and damaged houses tomorrow.
Originally, Colt wanted to pass this task to Yamato.
But Yamato's Chakra reserves were limited.
After building a row of houses, he'd be exhausted. Repairing everything would take ages.
So, Colt had no choice but to do it himself.
'Heh, as expected of me' He joked to himself.
It seemed the title of the ninja world's first real estate tycoon would fall to him after all.
**********
Meanwhile, in a cave in the Land of Fire, Obito sat on a rock with Black Zetsu standing opposite him.
They remained silent, realizing things were at their worst.
After this battle, the Akatsuki were nearly wiped out, and they'd even lost one Rinnegan.
But the Gedo Statue still lacked the Chakra of the Nine-Tails and Seven-Tails, so they were at an impasse.
The most troubling issue was...
"How does Kamiyo Colt possess the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Is the record on the stone tablet in the Naka Shrine wrong?" Obito looked at Black Zetsu, seeming to question him.
'It shouldn't be possible!'
Black Zetsu said nothing, his mind reeling.
'It shouldn't be possible!!!
Since Indra first awakened the Eternal Mangekyō, the Uchiha bloodline had been continuously diluted.
Unless one used their sibling's Mangekyō as a replacement, reaching that level was
impossible.
Even Madara Uchiha had followed this iron law.
How had Colt changed this?
Black Zetsu tentatively asked.
"Do you want to retrieve the other Rinnegan?"
Obito thought for a moment, then shook his head before nodding.
"I've considered it, but it will take a few days. I'm afraid Kamiyo Colt will anticipate that and
lay a trap."
In truth, Obito didn't care much about the other Rinnegan.
With his constitution, he could only bear the pressure of one Rinnegan at most.
Having two would kill him like it did Nagato.
Besides, how could he easily give up a life-saving skill like Kamui?
Black Zetsu was at a loss.
He knew a single Rinnegan couldn't fully absorb the Divine Tree and cast a perfect Infinite
Tsukuyomi.
In that case, even after Mother was released, her power wouldn't reach its peak.
Was this Kamiyo Colt truly not the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?
Both his Sage Body and eyes had evolved to a terrifying level unseen in the previous generations of Indra and Asura.
At this thought, Black Zetsu's heart jolted.
Yes!
If Asura and Indra could reincarnate so many times, why couldn't Hagoromo?
At that moment, Black Zetsu raised Colt's threat level exponentially.
'If he really is the Sage's reincarnation, Mother is in danger!'
"Obito, retrieve that Rinnegan as soon as possible, in case Konoha uncovers any secrets from
it," Black Zetsu urged. "Your life's efforts will be in vain. Without the Infinite Tsukuyomi,
how can you meet your Rin?"
To spur Obito to desperation, Black Zetsu invoked his ultimate motivator - Rin.
Obito's face remained calm, but he snorted coldly.
Still, a sense of urgency rose in his heart.
"You continue searching for the Seven-Tails. I'll handle the Rinnegan and Nine-Tails."
Black Zetsu nodded.
Obito didn't need to say more; he would do his part as usual.
**********
The next day, after enjoying the breakfast prepared by Yakumo, Colt arrived at the village
entrance early in the morning.
The destructive power of Pain's [Shinra Tensei] had dissipated significantly before reaching the forest, but the trees and boulders swept in had still destroyed many houses.
When he arrived, he saw many Earth-style and Water-style ninjas repairing the village walls. Ninjas weren't just powerful in combat; their productivity was also terrifying.
It's just that in this world of endless war, everyone's first reaction after gaining power was
how to use it to kill.
"What's the situation?"
"Lord Colt, we need to repair the homes of thirteen hundred households."
Colt frowned slightly.
'1300 house?'
'Repair?'
'How troublesome.'
"Is there anything of value left inside?" he asked.
The ninja in charge of statistics was taken aback.
"It's mostly gone. The residents moved all important supplies in advance."
Colt nodded.
"Then don't bother repairing. We'll give them new houses instead."
With that, his hands quickly formed seals.
"[Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame]!"
An overwhelming sea of fire spewed from his mouth, burning down all the damaged houses
under the dumbfounded eyes of those around him.
And then he added.
"[Wind Style: Great Breakthrough]!"
The wind howled, blowing the ash along with the remaining skeletal frameworks of houses
into the sky and out of the village.
Looking at the now-clean ground, Colt nodded in satisfaction.
This was much simpler.
For him, creating new structures took far less time than repairing old ones.
As for Chakra consumption?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sorry, but Colt had enough Chakra to spare.
