Without any hesitation, Jokichi swallowed it in one gulp.
As the crystal melted within his body, vitality that could only be described as vast surged through him.
They rushed through his meridians into every organ, every cell, and even his genetic structure.
Whenever they flowed through a place, that place would undergo subtle changes.
And that majestic vitality would decrease accordingly.
As time passed, that vast vitality disappeared.
Jokichi's purple, concentric-rippled Rinnegan with nine tomoe had disappeared.
Replacing it was a pair of Byakugan.
But with a shift in thought, the Byakugan automatically switched to the Rinnegan.
Switching again, they turned into blue, glowing pupils.
The Tenseigan.
Containing the power to slice the moon in half.
However, the changes went far beyond this.
Jokichi's thought shifted again, and the Tenseigan switched once more.
It turned into scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan with hexagonal crystal snowflake-shaped tomoe.
Switching one more time, they returned to ordinary black eyes.
Generally speaking, the Rinnegan is permanent.
Once awakened, it cannot revert to its original eyes.
But there are always exceptions in this world.
And this exception was Otsutsuki Urashiki.
His Rinnegan possessed two states, blue and red, which could be switched at will.
He could also freely switch between the Byakugan and the Rinnegan.
The Otsutsuki Crystal forged using his blood inherited this ability perfectly.
Therefore, having consumed this crystal, Jokichi also acquired this ability.
Although switching back and forth was a bit flashy.
It was still much more convenient than wearing contact lenses.
Although the visual prowess of the Byakugan or Mangekyo was inferior to the Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
Their visual jutsu also had different uses, making them more convenient in many situations.
"Now, I truly am invincible! Ahaha."
Jokichi laughed out loud proudly.
Then, accidentally, he stepped through the tatami mat.
"Uh!"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Jokichi looked awkwardly at the broken spot.
He quickly used time reversal to restore it.
Who knew, even though he used the ability very carefully, he reversed it too much.
He instantly reversed the broken tatami mat back into raw materials.
Looking at the neatly stacked raw materials.
Jokichi fell into silence.
Consuming this Advanced Otsutsuki Crystal did not just awaken the Tenseigan and the ability to switch between various eyes.
His vitality and spiritual energy had skyrocketed several times over.
The ensuing chain reaction was that his chakra also skyrocketed several times over.
In terms of chakra alone, he was no longer inferior to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
And that vigorous vitality and spiritual energy also granted him a long lifespan.
He did not know exactly how long he could live.
But at least a few thousand years, maybe even tens of thousands of years, was not a problem.
Moreover, his immortal body had evolved.
Now, even if his brain was destroyed, his consciousness could survive for a period of time.
He could use this time to reconstruct his physical body.
Furthermore, although he had not tried it.
Jokichi had a faint feeling.
Even if his physical body died, leaving only his soul, he could still survive in the world.
Just like the Sage of Six Paths.
This state was already second only to Kaguya's true immortality.
"Does this mean I'm invincible now?"
Jokichi looked at his hands, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.
When he first arrived in this world, he was almost crushed to death by the Nine-Tails.
That experience made him quickly realize the dangers of this world.
He also quickly integrated into this world, focusing solely on working hard to become stronger.
At that time, his biggest wish was to become strong enough to control his own fate.
If controlling his own fate was also part of destiny, then he wanted to choose the part that best suited his heart.
And now, this wish had been fulfilled.
Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Eternal Mangekyo, Byakugan, immortal body, long lifespan, Kekkei Mora.
The highest mastery of Sage Mode, chakra comparable to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
The existence of these trump cards.
Even if Uchiha Madara resurrected and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he could not possibly be his match.
And the only threat, Kaguya, lacked combat experience.
When dealing with Naruto and Sasuke, she still had Black Zetsu to direct her.
But now that he had captured Black Zetsu, what would she fight with?
Not to mention Jokichi still had over a hundred bizarre items.
Seventeen cards might still have a chance of being insta-killed.
But with a hundred cards, you couldn't possibly insta-kill me, right!
Jokichi could not think of anyone in this world who could be his match right now.
Perhaps in the distant cosmos, the Otsutsuki main family had such guys.
But that place was too far away.
Reaching Earth would take an unknown number of thousands of years.
In these thousands of years, Jokichi did not know how many Chakra Fruits he would have eaten.
By then, tying the entire Otsutsuki clan together would not be enough for him to fight.
Right now, Jokichi felt somewhat empty and lost inside.
He did not know what to do next.
Resurrect his parents?
He was very grateful to his parents in this world.
Although they had never spoken, he had experienced the warmth of family from them.
With Jokichi's current abilities, resurrecting them without paying a price would not be difficult.
But, is resurrecting the dead really a good thing?
If they had just died, it would be fine.
But they had been gone for thirteen years.
Their souls and consciousness were still stuck thirteen years ago.
Could their mindsets keep up with the current era?
This was not even a major problem.
The problem was, if two people dead for thirteen years suddenly resurrected, how would the people around them look at them?
Could they live happily under those strange gazes?
Or perhaps, move to an unfamiliar place to start a new life?
Moreover, is violating the natural laws of life and death really a good thing?
Why did the Sage of Six Paths obey the laws and die naturally?
There might be something he still didn't know about this.
There were too many problems, both conceivable and inconceivable.
Thinking back and forth, Jokichi could not make up his mind.
Finally, he decided to summon the two of them using the Impure World Reincarnation and ask for their opinions.
If they wanted to be resurrected, then he would ignore everything else and just resurrect them.
If they did not want to, then he would respect their wishes and let them rest in peace.
However, before that, he needed to train properly for a while.
To digest and settle this suddenly boosted power, until he could wield it as easily as moving his own limbs.
Otherwise, in his current state, using Impure World Reincarnation might end up summoning the King of Hell.
Also, he did not have his parents' remains on hand; he had to return to Konoha to get them.
There was no rush for this matter right now.
Jokichi turned his gaze to the last two items.
First was that fish basket.
[Myriad Phenomena Fish Basket: A fish basket possessing a dimension of its own. It can be used to store items, and can also convert chakra or items containing chakra into highly efficient pills.]
"..."
It seemed he had eaten the Chakra Fruit too early.
