Chapter 418: Dōjutsu of the Rinnegan
In the original story, after Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan awakened, he gained Amenotejikara, which allowed him to instantly swap positions with a target; Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan derived Limbo: Border Jail, capable of summoning invisible Clones to attack.
Every individual who awakens the Rinnegan seems to develop a unique, exclusive Dōjutsu based on their own characteristics, Chakra attributes, and even the essence of their Soul.
Uzumaki Yuji was naturally no exception.
He named it—Super Chronos Rotation Celestial Traveler.
However, as soon as he proudly announced this name, he was ruthlessly roasted by his siblings.
He was criticized for his naming sense being neither as cool as his grandfather Minato Namikaze's nor as concise as his father's.
Naruto had offered a suggestion: "Since the universe is a temporary lodging for all things, and time is a passing traveler through a hundred generations, why not call this move 'Hundred Generation Traveler'?"
Then Ino roasted him, saying his naming ability got worse as he grew older, and it was ultimately heartlessly rejected.
Finally, the children put their heads together and came up with a new name for this ability.
Time Traveler's Walk.
However, Yuji didn't want to tell Madara across from him any of this.
Battles between Ninjas are not only a duel of strength and strategy but also a duel of intelligence.
Uchiha Madara's abilities were nothing more than Susanoo, the two Dōjutsu of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Rinnegan, along with some Fire Release Ninjutsu and his Taijutsu.
But the opponent only knew about Yuji's Rinnegan.
In addition to the basic abilities of the Rinnegan's Six Paths, Yuji also had a good grasp of Sealing Jutsu.
If he could cooperate with the First Hokage, they might not necessarily fail to defeat the opponent.
As long as he could use the Preta Path's ability to absorb Uchiha Madara's Chakra, then perhaps he could return earlier.

Uchiha Obito learned from some wandering Souls that the Pure Land had only recently "come alive."
In the past, people in the Pure Land could not see each other.
He was searching for someone.
However, at this moment, his search had to be temporarily interrupted.
Because a figure, like a peerless unsheathed blade carrying a sharp and incomparable Aura, appeared not far in front of him.
It was a middle-aged man, not particularly tall, but standing like a pine tree, as steady as a mountain.
He wore a Hidden Leaf Village Jonin tactical vest, and his slightly messy silver-white short hair was particularly striking.
His face was resolute with sharp lines, and his lips seemed habitually pressed together, showing a serious and earnest temperament.
Most striking were his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, currently watching Obito calmly.
White Fang of the Leaf, Sakumo Hatake, the father of Kakashi Hatake.
Uchiha Obito recognized him because he had been Obito's idol when he was a child.
"I remember you," Sakumo Hatake spoke, his voice steady.
"Though I've only seen you from a distance on a few occasions, I know you. You were in Kakashi's class, Uchiha Obito."
His gaze swept over Obito's tattered Akatsuki Organization red-cloud black robe and his half-disfigured face. A flicker of complex emotion crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the decisiveness of a Ninja.
"And also..."
As Sakumo spoke, he drew his weapon. "...one of the culprits responsible for the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, Uchiha Obito."
Sakumo had not personally witnessed the Nine-Tails Attack during his life, but after his brief resurrection, he had more or less learned of the major events that followed, including his son Kakashi's experiences and Uchiha Obito's crimes.
Minato Namikaze, the junior he admired, and Uzumaki Kushina, that lively Uzumaki clanswoman—their tragedy was closely linked to the former Konoha Ninja before him.
In Sakumo Hatake's view, regardless of what pain or reasons Obito had, his actions of betraying the Village, causing the death of the Hokage, and triggering war were undeniable crimes.
As a Konoha Ninja, especially one from an older generation who placed great importance on Ninja rules and Village responsibility, even in the Pure Land, he felt duty-bound to take action upon encountering such a rogue Ninja.
"Here, perhaps I cannot carry out a 'purge' mission as I did in life."
Sakumo flicked his wrist, and his Ninja blade emitted a low hum, the tip pointing toward Obito from a distance.
His entire Aura shifted abruptly, like a precious blade about to be unsheathed. Although there was no boiling killing intent, it made Obito feel that if they had met during his lifetime, he likely would not have been able to escape Sakumo.
"But since it is confirmed that you are a Hidden Leaf Village traitor bearing heavy guilt, as a Konoha Ninja, I have the obligation to 'control' or 'restrain' you.
At the very least, I cannot let you move freely in this place, continuing to pursue factors that may bring more unrest."
His gaze seemed to pierce through the purpose of Obito's wandering, his tone calm but carrying an indisputable weight: "You are looking for someone, right? For an obsession from your life.
But some obsessions, after committing irreversible mistakes, perhaps require facing and taking responsibility rather than continued persistence."
"That's easy for you to say, Senior."
Obito's voice was raspy, carrying a stubbornness that had weathered much but remained unyielding. "'Facing'? 'Taking responsibility'? Do you think I did all this simply because I couldn't let go of Rin's death?"
He took a step forward, his Soul fluctuations rising and falling violently due to agitation, and the surrounding grey-white mist seemed to be stirred: "What made me completely lose hope in this decaying world was never just Rin's death! Rin's sacrifice was merely the fuse that tore open the most hypocritical and cruel corner of this Ninja World!"
His words poured out like venom: "Look at this world! Great nations wage endless wars for profit, and small nations are trampled like weeds; within the Villages, high-level officials scheme against each other, and comrades suspect one another. For the sake of a mission, everything can be sacrificed, even the most precious things! Kakashi... didn't he also follow those so-called 'Ninja rules' back then and personally..."
Obito's voice paused. Mentioning the past of Kakashi and Rin still caused a surge of pain in his Soul, but he quickly transformed this pain into a stronger accusation: "the rules of this world themselves are dark. They create countless tragedies, yet expect the victims to 'accept' and 'take responsibility'? How absurd!"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Sakumo, his tone filled with irony and questioning: "Even you, Senior, once a hero who shook the Ninja World—weren't you ultimately driven to a dead end by the gossip of those ignorant villagers and the accusations of a so-called 'failed mission,' choosing to end your own life?"
A flame that seemed capable of scorching the Soul burned in Obito's single eye: "Isn't your end just another bloody proof of the rules of this dark world?
You, who strictly adhered to the way of the Ninja and cherished the lives of your comrades—what did you get? Understanding? Respect? No! It was slander, isolation, and a tragedy where you had to use death to prove your resolve!"
