—————————————————————————————————————————

On the open ground outside the tower in Amegakure, thousands of shadow clones sat cross-legged amidst the pouring rain.

Konan stood apologetically in front of Naruto's original body. "I'm sorry, there are just too many people. We can only conduct this outside."

Naruto responded gently, "Konan-nee, you should go get some rest. You don't have to stay in the rain with me."

Konan replied matter-of-factly, "How can I do that? With your determination, how could I slack off?"

And so, Naruto and his shadow clones began attempting to fall asleep.

Perhaps it was the heavy rain, the chilly night, or maybe just psychological pressure, but they couldn't fall asleep.

"Achoo!" One shadow clone sneezed from the cold and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

Some clones managed to fall asleep but experienced sleep paralysis. Trembling uncontrollably, they too vanished in white smoke.

The experiences of the shadow clones fed back to Naruto's original body, causing him to frown deeply, his unease growing.

Konan's gaze darkened slightly. "This isn't going to work."

Splash!

Stretching out her arms, Konan's body dissolved into countless sheets of paper in the rain. The papers gathered, folded, and transformed into floating umbrellas, shielding Naruto and his clones from the rain.

Naruto was stunned. "Konan-nee!"

In front of his original body, Konan's incomplete paper form held a paper umbrella over him. She said softly, "This way, you should be able to sleep more soundly."

Naruto glanced back at the sheer number of clones. Controlling such a vast amount of paper required an enormous amount of chakra!

It was important to note that the paper was part of Konan's body. Essentially, she had magnified herself thousands of times, exposing herself to the relentless rain. It was reckless!

Naruto felt deeply guilty and even began regretting his own stubbornness.

However, Konan reassured him, "If this can free Sensei from that vast ocean, then it's a small atonement on my part, Naruto."

"I understand now!"

Naruto said no more, overcoming the pressure as he tried to sleep. He began to find some clues.

His mind often worked exceptionally well at critical moments, even in this second life.

The meditation process of Sage Mode emphasized extreme tranquility of body and mind. Perhaps it could be cleverly adapted here.

Thus, Naruto and his shadow clones calmed their minds, following the meditation techniques of Sage Mode.

Z~~Z~~~Z~~~!

It worked! By clearing his thoughts, Naruto and his clones gradually fell asleep, bubbles forming from their noses.

Triggering the Realm of Reincarnation required an element of luck. Increasing the number of participants significantly improved the chances of success, though the consequences remained unknown.

After all, this was an unprecedented attempt.

In the cold rain of the long night, half an hour passed.

Boom!

Suddenly, all the shadow clones disappeared simultaneously!

Konan's expression shifted. "Could it be..."

Based on Nagato's experience, entering the Realm of Reincarnation required highly concentrated chakra. The shadow clones were forcibly dispelled, transferring the chakra and triggering effects back to the original body. Could it really have succeeded?

Indeed, one of Naruto's shadow clones had successfully initiated the process. What followed was exactly as Konan had surmised!

The Realm of Reincarnation was no ordinary place. A single misstep could lead to danger. To ensure safety, she needed to assist him.

Swoosh!

In midair, thousands of paper umbrellas scattered, the damp sheets of paper reassembling.

Konan's orange eyes gazed at Naruto. She sat cross-legged, took out a special paper talisman, and placed it on Naruto's forehead, forming a seal with two fingers.

"Paper Curse Technique: Transition!"

Konan's eyelids slowly closed as chakra flowed into the talisman. The seal in the center of the talisman broke!

Whoosh! Naruto found himself in a vast and unfamiliar land. As he looked around in confusion, Konan's figure materialized beside him.

"Konan-nee!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"I used a secret technique to channel my chakra here," Konan explained. "I used to assist Nagato in the same way."

Naruto scanned the surroundings. "So, this is the Realm of Reincarnation? I don't see any summoning beasts."

"The Realm of Reincarnation is vast," Konan replied. "That's why sensory abilities are especially important here. Nagato's sensory abilities were extraordinary."

Naruto nodded in agreement, recalling, "That's true. When Nagato was reanimated by Kabuto, he could sense me, Bee, and even Kabuto himself."

Konan continued, "Of course, your sensory abilities in Sage Mode are just as remarkable."

"Exactly what I was thinking!"

Naruto sat down and began meditating in Sage Mode.

As the orange eye shadow appeared, the Naruto outside mirrored the same change.

Sizzle!

Naruto opened his eyes and pointed behind him. "I can sense you. You're hiding there. Don't think I can't tell!"

"Over there?"

Konan extended her hand, sending a large number of paper sheets to envelop a shape.

Naruto's eyes lit up. "A chameleon!?"

"That's a chameleon," Konan explained. "It was one of Nagato's former summoning beasts. Now that he's gone, it has returned to the wild. Its ability is invisibility."

Naruto frowned. "Its chakra doesn't seem very strong."

Konan elaborated, "The summoning technique of the Rinnegan is an enhancement summoning technique. Once a contract is signed, its power will increase several times over."

"I see," Naruto realized. "The creatures Nagato summoned had black rods like Pain, but this one doesn't."

Hiss!!

The chameleon spat acid from its mouth, dissolving the paper sheets before turning and fleeing with a strange gait.

Konan commented, "Acid spit is one of its abilities. Defeat it and drive a black rod into it to form a summoning contract."

Naruto cracked his knuckles. "It's okay to go a little harder on it, right?"

Konan smiled. "Better not to overdo it. In the Realm of Reincarnation, they won't truly die but will respawn in another area. If it respawns too far away, capturing it again will be a hassle."

"Got it!"

Boom!!

Naruto dashed forward with incredible agility and speed in Sage Mode. He quickly caught up to the chameleon, charging his fist with natural energy before striking.

"Frog Kata!!"

Bang!

The natural energy-infused punch sent the chameleon crashing to the ground!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Several black rods flew out, piercing various parts of the chameleon's body!

Whoosh!

The chameleon's body dissolved into smoke!

Konan remarked, "It has now become your summoning beast. Once you leave the Realm of Reincarnation, you can summon it through the Animal Path to assist you in battle."

Naruto said, "That was easier than I expected."

Konan warned, "Don't get complacent. It's said that the Realm of Reincarnation contains powerful summoning beasts from ancient times. Some are so strong that even Nagato at his peak couldn't form a contract with them."
