At the Uchiha residence on Mount Ōeyama.
"Are you ready, Sasuke?"
Kaito sat on the ground, holding a brush, and looked at Sasuke, who was sitting in front of him.
"Let's get started already!"
Sasuke, who was bare-chested, turned his head to urge him.
"Don't move."
Kaito instructed as he dipped the brush in ink and began writing a spell on Sasuke's back.
The intricate spell started from the nape of his neck and quickly spread across his entire back.
Kaito withdrew the brush, and blue spiritual energy radiated from his hand as he placed it on the nape of Sasuke's neck.
"Scatter!"
The dense spell markings began to move rapidly across Sasuke's skin, swiftly covering his entire body.
"Seal!"
The spell markings, now covering Sasuke's body, started to glow faintly and began to contract, centering on the nape of his neck.
Soon, all the markings disappeared, leaving only a complex circular pattern on the nape of Sasuke's neck.
"It's done. Take some time to feel it out," Kaito said as he stood up.
Sasuke obediently closed his eyes. After a moment, a purple pattern appeared on his face, spreading from his forehead to the corners of his eyes.
"This is Sage Mode!" he exclaimed with joy, opening his eyes and spreading his right hand before clenching it tightly. "It's really powerful!"
"It's better than Orochimaru's curse mark, isn't it?" Kaito smiled.
"Yes." Sasuke nodded. "And using Orochimaru's curse mark would interfere with my emotions."
"Now you need to fully adapt to this power." Kaito said, kneeling at a low table, organizing some scrolls. "Go find Izuna-senpai to start your training quickly."
"Got it." Sasuke stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "Thank you."
Kaito smiled and waved his hand. "No need to thank me. Go on."
Hearing Sasuke's footsteps fading away, Kaito began his work.
He took out his brush and drew several small formations on the floor.
Then, he placed prepared small pieces of the Divine Tree's tissue at the center of each formation.
As he made hand signs, the formations on the floor began to light up one by one.
Kaito activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and carefully observed the changes in the Divine Tree's tissue within the different formations.
After the light from the formations faded, he quickly turned around and hastily wrote down his experimental notes.
...
At the tall tower of Amegakure.
In a dim secret chamber, the new Animal Path knelt on one knee and placed a hand on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
With a puff of white smoke, the new Preta Path and Human Path appeared in front of the Animal Path.
The Human Path was holding a white figure.
"Nagato, what is this?" Konan, who was standing beside Nagato, asked.
"This is Obito's secret," Nagato said, looking at the white figure held by the Human Path. "Last time, when I was on the brink of death, Obito thought I had lost consciousness, but I discovered something he was hiding."
Pain, who was standing nearby, continued, "These strange beings are the power behind Obito and Zetsu."
"To avoid alerting the enemy, we only managed to secretly capture one," the Preta Path said.
The Human Path added, "Unfortunately, this body acts like a mere clone, functioning on instinct without a soul. Otherwise, we could have uncovered more of their secrets."
"No matter, we will find out in due time," the Asura Path interjected. "For now, let's address the issue of the body."
"The body? Nagato, what are you planning?" Konan turned to Nagato.
"These creatures' bodies are made up of cells from Wood Release and are full of vitality," Nagato explained. "I'm going to switch to a new body."
"Nagato!" Konan said anxiously. "This is too dangerous. You should be more cautious."
"And your eyes," she urged. "What if the new body can't adapt to the Rinnegan?"
"Don't worry," Nagato said resolutely. "These beings seem to be cultivated from Hashirama's cells. I possess the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, which is closely related to the Senju clan."
"That reasoning is too uncertain!" Konan still opposed the idea.
"We can't remain under others' control forever!" Nagato clutched his chest and looked at Konan with determination.
"It's all my fault for being so useless," Konan's hands trembled. "If only I had died back then, if Yahiko were still here, he would have done much better than me."
"Stop it, Konan!" Nagato said sternly. "Yahiko sacrificed himself to save your life. Don't waste his feelings!"
"I'm sorry, Nagato." Konan covered her face, tears streaming through her fingers. "I'm sorry, I can't bear to lose you too."
"It's okay," Pain said calmly. "Let's first convert this strange being's body into the Naraka Path."
"Once this body has adapted to the Rinnegan, we'll transfer the soul into it," the Human Path added.
"Begin," Nagato ordered.
Pain raised his hands, and several black rods flew out from his sleeves, piercing the white Zetsu clone's body.
As Nagato's Rinnegan activated, the white Zetsu clone opened its eyes.
Its eyes had already turned into the purple, ring-patterned eyes of the Rinnegan.
A new Naraka Path was born.
The Naraka Path stood up and closed its eyes again.
Then, its skin changed from pure white to a flesh color, and its hair gradually turned orange.
"It's done."
It cracked a smile.
