Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Rinnegan Awakens
With the Senju cells taking root in his body, Tetsuya's chakra grew ever more potent. But the final step toward godhood—the awakening of the Rinnegan—required something more. He needed the tools of the Sage of Six Paths, the legendary figure who had once brought peace to the world and wielded power that defied mortal understanding.
Tetsuya began to hunt for the Six Paths tools, artifacts that had been lost to time. The Sage's tools—the Shakujo (staff), the Yasakani no Magatama (a set of sacred jewels), the Totsuka no Tsurugi (sword)—were said to hold immense power. Legend said that these tools were hidden deep within the Uzumaki ruins, a place filled with both danger and unimaginable treasure.
Through the guidance of his Uchiha Sharingan, Tetsuya unlocked the secrets of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, breaking through layers of protective seals that had hidden the Sage's artifacts for millennia. Each artifact contained a fragment of the Sage of Six Paths' power, and when Tetsuya laid his hands upon them, the transformation began.
His chakra surged beyond human comprehension, fusing with the Sage's power. The Rinnegan, a manifestation of the Sage of Six Paths' dojutsu, formed in his eyes, replacing his Byakugan and Sharingan.
