Ryōsuke looked at Ōnoki.
"Rest assured, I definitely won't let anything happen to her."
When this girl grew up, she would naturally become his woman, so he had to treat her well.
After receiving his guarantee, Ōnoki felt relieved. She was just a hostage. Perhaps if he behaved well in the future, she could be released and returned.
At this moment, Ryōsuke looked at Rōshi lying on the ground. Before he had the Rinnegan, extracting a Tailed Beast required opening the seal and slowly releasing it.
But now that he possessed the Rinnegan, the release speed could be increased.
The Rinnegan possessed the abilities of Yin and Yang Release.
It could grant vitality to a person.
In the original storyline, Naruto had saved Might Guy, who was destined to die after opening the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates.
It should be noted that Guy's body had been nearly destroyed at that time, his life force almost completely extinguished.
Being able to save him was nothing short of a miracle.
Thinking of this, Ryōsuke wondered if he could also use the Eight Inner Gates.
The Rinnegan had powerful healing abilities. Even if he opened the Eight Inner Gates and his body was ravaged, as long as he didn't die and his vitality wasn't exhausted, he would be fine.
He felt he could survive relying on the Rinnegan's healing abilities and his body's original powerful regenerative capabilities, perhaps even avoiding severe damage altogether.
However, experimenting with it would be difficult, so he decided to drop the idea for now.
For now, he needed to extract the Tailed Beast from Rōshi's body.
He walked directly to Rōshi's side and placed Kurotsuchi on the ground.
Then, he tore away the tattered clothes on Rōshi's stomach.
He began to observe the Tailed Beast seal.
Watching his actions, Ōnoki realized the man was indeed after the Tailed Beast.
His expression instantly turned extremely ugly. Rōshi was a ninja of their village, and extracting the Tailed Beast would kill him.
But he was powerless to stop it.
For the sake of the village, he could only sacrifice Rōshi. He couldn't resist.
After a few minutes of observation, Ryōsuke understood the principles of the seal. Coating his five fingers in chakra, he directly applied a reverse seal, undoing the man's Tailed Beast seal.
Next, he used Yin-Yang Release to infuse the man with vitality, then almost completely opened the seal.
A geyser-like pillar of chakra frantically surged outward.
Even while unconscious, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Rōshi, revealed an expression of extreme agony.
Powerless, Ōnoki could only turn his head away.
There was nothing he could do.
Before long, a massive red monkey-shaped Tailed Beast appeared outside, standing over fifty meters tall.
The creature was a bit dazed upon emerging.
Suddenly realizing it had escaped the Jinchūriki's seal, its face lit up with joy, and it roared.
"I'm finally out!"
Ryōsuke looked at the beast and slowly flew up.
"Four-Tails, I am the one who released you. Submit to me."
The Four-Tails widened its eyes, staring at the man floating before it.
Its expression was full of disdain.
"So you're the guy who let me out."
"But submit to a human? Are you joking?"
Suddenly, it frowned as it noticed the man's eyes.
It was astonished inwardly.
'These are the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan.'
Ryōsuke denied it.
"These aren't the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan, but my own. The Five-Tails has already submitted. What about you?"
Hearing this, the Four-Tails was momentarily stunned. That guy actually submitted? It slowly spoke.
"Submitting is its business. I won't submit."
"I'm leaving."
It had finally managed to get out.
It needed to let loose and enjoy its freedom; it had no time to submit to anyone.
However, it didn't want to fight this man. He felt extremely dangerous.
Those were the same Rinnegan as the Sage of Six Paths.
Ryōsuke felt a bit regretful upon hearing this.
It really was just a monkey, not knowing how to be grateful. He directly cast a Rinnegan genjutsu.
He stared into the Four-Tails' eyes.
He intended to bring the beast under his control.
Seeing those Rinnegan rippling with ocular power, the Four-Tails was horrified.
'This guy actually wants to control me!'
Before it could even resist, it instantly lost all reaction. Its eyes turned dull and took on the ripple pattern of the Rinnegan.
It had been successfully controlled.
The speed of controlling a Tailed Beast was even faster than with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
This was because the ocular power of the Rinnegan acted faster than that of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Next, it was time to leave.
This trip had yielded quite a few Tailed Beasts, as well as several children.
The harvest could be said to be extremely abundant.
It made the trip well worth it.
Ōnoki watched the instantly subdued Tailed Beast.
He was astonished. 'This guy's Rinnegan is so strong.'
'Did he just control a Tailed Beast that easily?'
It had to be known that Tailed Beasts were natural disaster-level monsters.
Back when the Stone Village captured this Four-Tails, countless ninjas had been killed or injured.
Subduing and successfully sealing such a Tailed Beast required the coordination of a massive number of ninjas.
A Kage-level powerhouse fighting alone might be able to defeat the Tailed Beast, but they absolutely couldn't subdue it. Subduing it required the combined strength of many.
Even so, the casualties had been disastrous.
Now, seeing the other party subdue the Four-Tails so effortlessly left him with mixed feelings.
Moreover, this man was collecting Tailed Beasts and could control them with such ease.
He definitely had a massive scheme.
With such methods, he could naturally control the other Tailed Beasts just as easily. Now, even the Eight-Tails was in his hands.
Counting the two from the Stone Village, that made three great Tailed Beasts.
Coupled with his own strength, sweeping across the entire shinobi world might actually be possible.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.
"May I ask what your purpose is in collecting the Tailed Beasts, my lord?"
In his heart, he believed this man likely intended to dominate the entire shinobi world.
Back then, Uchiha Madara had wanted to dominate the Stone Village, so he naturally intended to dominate the other villages as well, whereas Hashirama had hoped for an alliance.
Ryōsuke looked at Ōnoki.
"You don't need to concern yourself with that."
"By the way, my organization is called The Illuminati. When the day comes for the organization to make its move, I hope your Stone Village will cooperate well. Understood?"
Helpless, Ōnoki could only reply.
"Understood."
If the other party didn't want to speak, he naturally had no ability to force him.
Seeing Ōnoki being so sensible, Ryōsuke felt very satisfied. Now, he was ready to leave.
He reached out his right hand, and Kurotsuchi, who was on the ground, slowly began to rise into the air, flying toward him.
This was him using the Rinnegan to generate a repulsive force on Kurotsuchi's body, causing her to levitate.
Rather than an attractive force emitted from Ryōsuke himself.
Once Kurotsuchi floated right next to him, Ryōsuke grabbed her and flew directly onto the Four-Tails' body.
Suddenly, he looked back at Ōnoki.
"Do you happen to have a summoning contract scroll on you?"
Ōnoki was taken aback, then shook his head.
"My lord, I do not."
Seeing this, Ryōsuke naturally had no other options.
He wanted a contract scroll so he could naturally form a contract with the Four-Tails.
That way, it would be convenient to summon it. He couldn't possibly ride two Tailed Beasts all the way back to the Leaf Village.
That would be too flashy. The entire shinobi world would probably find out that he was the one who took the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
Then they would likely assume he had taken the other Tailed Beasts as well.
It seemed the Four-Tails would have to be left in the wilderness for now.
Now that his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved into the Rinnegan, his original ocular jutsu consisted of a Teleportation Technique and an ability that nullified all genjutsu directed at him.
The latter probably wouldn't evolve any further.
However, he wondered if his teleportation portal would be slightly different now.
If the teleportation distance had increased, he could find an opportunity to test it out.
Even if he used this jutsu, he didn't think he could return directly to the Leaf Village from here. The distance was simply too vast; he shouldn't have such an absurdly overpowered ability just yet.
