Uchiha Obito's schemes might seem like a desperate situation to others, but in Ryun's eyes, they were just the final dance of a clown.
Inside the Shadow Residence villa, a spatial vortex appeared, and Ryun's figure quietly emerged in the living room of his home.
Pleasant music was playing in the house at the moment, and Kushina was humming a tune while busily working in the kitchen.
The atmosphere at home made Ryun feel an unprecedented comfort, and he felt like teasing his wife. So, he concealed his presence and then silently appeared behind her.
Just as his hand rested on Kushina's waist, the startled Kushina reflexively responded with a loving elbow strike.
Her elbow passed straight through Ryun's body, and Kushina quickly turned around the next moment.
"You scared me to death!!!"
Kushina dropped the spatula in her hand and immediately hugged her long unseen beloved.
"Quick reflexes. It seems your years of sage art training haven't been wasted. But this strength, Nana, are you trying to kill your husband?" Ryun stroked her back and joked with a laugh.
Kushina nuzzled vigorously against Ryun's chest like a kitten. But the next moment, she seemed to realize something, pushed Ryun away, and looked at his eyes with shock.
"Your eyes!!!"
Looking at these purple eyes, completely different from the Sharingan, Kushina felt an indescribable shock in her heart.
"Yes, I successfully awakened the Rinnegan!" Ryun smiled and shared the good news with her.
Although this Six Tomoe Rinnegan looked mysterious, eerie, powerful, and full of pressure, Kushina still held Ryun's face and admired it for a long time.
Her husband's eyes were full of love. The eyes that should have felt creepy somehow seemed endlessly endearing to her. Kushina couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes and kiss his lips.
Both of them were so lost in the moment that they forgot everything else, until a slightly burnt smell came from the pot. Kushina hurriedly picked up the spatula and stir fried a few times.
Ryun reached out and wrapped his arm around Kushina's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder as he watched her cook.
But as soon as he used his hands to feel his wife's wonderful figure, he heard Kushina let out an involuntary soft moan the next moment.
"Wife, you're a bit sensitive, huh?" Ryun teased playfully.
"Don't cause trouble for me. I still need to make more dishes!" Kushina, her face red, swatted away his mischievous hands.
With Ryun, the big eater, back home, the food she had just prepared definitely wouldn't be enough.
"I should go out and buy some ready made food. I'm so hungry now, I feel like I could eat a whole cow," Ryun said, stimulated by the aroma of the food, his long dormant appetite clearly stirring.
He hadn't eaten for half a year, he really could eat a whole cow in one go.
"Then you eat first, I'll have Nanaise go buy it," Kushina said, taking off her apron.
"Okay," Ryun nodded with a smile.
Nanaise was walking the dog in the yard at that time. She was very happy to see her father back, but before the father and daughter could hug for long, Kushina sent her out to gather ready made food.
"Our daughter has clearly grown much taller, she's really grown up after all," Ryun couldn't help but feel emotional, looking at Nanaise's graceful figure.
"Woof..." The puppy roaming freely in the yard suddenly barked at Ryun, this stranger.
"Hmm???"
Ryun glanced at it subconsciously, and the next moment, the puppy whimpered and hid in the flower bushes, so scared it lost control of its bladder and bowels during its escape!
"Nanaise is at the age where she's growing now. The amount she eats every day is more than what we ate combined at her age," Kushina joked with a smile.
"Haha, let her eat. If you're too busy, then we can find someone who can cook..."
Ryun paused abruptly mid sentence.
"Actually, Mom should be waking up soon. No need to hire a cooking nanny after all!"
Ryun's words made Kushina visibly pause for a moment.
"Well, let's eat," Kushina said, slightly changing the subject with a hint of sadness, and then began serving her man his meal.
"Eat slowly. All the food at home is for you. Nanaise and I can go out to eat later..."
Watching Ryun wolf down his food, Kushina couldn't help but feel heartache for him. Her man was truly starving...
Fortunately, the Ryun family had plenty of savings. If he were just an ordinary jonin living on mission payments, he probably wouldn't be able to support the three big eaters in the family...
This single meal of Ryun's lasted for over three hours. Nanaise had to make several trips just buying food. In the end, they had to ask ninja near the Shadow Residence to help deliver takeout to barely satisfy Ryun's appetite.
Just after Ryun finished eating and was sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting with his wife, Orochimaru arrived in a great hurry, bringing news to Ryun.
"The Divine Tree is gone. It was probably summoned away by Uchiha Obito. That guy moved really fast!"
Orochimaru felt that things were dire, but upon seeing Ryun's completely unperturbed expression, he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
"You don't seem concerned about that guy? Even if the Divine Tree was taken, it doesn't matter?"
"It doesn't matter who has the Divine Tree. As for Uchiha Obito, let him jump around for a while first..."
Ryun wanted to move past the topic, but Orochimaru, his curiosity unsatisfied, wouldn't give up easily. "Aren't you afraid he might become the Ten Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Why should I be afraid? If he wants the Ten Tails, he can have it. He just shouldn't regret it later," Ryun replied with a smile.
"You planted the Ten Tails outside Otogakure, could it be that you did it on purpose..."
Before Orochimaru could finish, Ryun interrupted with a dry cough. "Ahem, see through it but don't say it."
Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He felt that his student probably had a grudge against Uchiha Obito. Otherwise, he wouldn't keep targeting the same person to trick him twice, and in such a deadly way.
"Alright, as long as you have a handle on the trouble with Uchiha Obito. Now, shouldn't you explain these eyes to your teacher? You know full well how interested I am in the Sharingan!"
Seeing Orochimaru's excited expression, licking his lips, Ryun knew he was about to interrogate him thoroughly again.
"This is the Rinnegan, not the Sharingan," Ryun explained helplessly.
"It certainly has the outline of the Rinnegan, but your eyes have six tomoe. What's the reason for this? What's the difference compared to Nagato's Rinnegan?" Orochimaru pressed on.
"The difference is huge..."
Ryun pouted and subconsciously remarked.
His Six Tomoe Rinnegan was nurtured from his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, combined with a perfected Sage Body, and supplemented by the Ten Tails' power. Every step, including Sage Art, the five nature transformations, and Yin-Yang Release, could be said to have been taken to the extreme.
Uchiha Madara's eyes were forcibly stimulated by transplanting Hashirama's cells, combining Indra and Asura's chakra, to draw out the Six Paths Sage's chakra.
Ryun didn't dare say his eyes were inherently higher level than Uchiha Madara's, but when it came to the strength of ocular power and the potency of ocular techniques, Uchiha Madara's eyes simply couldn't be compared to his. Probably not even the Six Paths Sage's own Rinnegan would fare well in a comparison!
