Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: A Surprise or a Shock? Heiming's Complex Abilities

In the world of Baiming, the audience sat in rapt attention, eagerly awaiting the display of Heiming Uzumaki's Rinnegan abilities. Memories of Nagato's terrifying Rinnegan powers filled their minds—the Six Paths of Pain alone were an overwhelming force. When all those abilities concentrated in Nagato, he had wielded power that could rival armies.

Now, another Rinnegan user, Heiming, had entered the spotlight. Unlike Nagato, Uchiha Sasuke, or Madara, Heiming seemed to possess unique abilities that were both mysterious and mind-bending.

[On the Sea]

Naruto Uzumaki, along with Sakura Haruno and Sai, continued their journey to the Land of Snow. Their mission: escort Princess Koyuki Kazahana safely home and help her reclaim her throne.

Though initially dismissive of Naruto, Koyuki soon found herself captivated. Naruto's charisma, courage, and leadership—even gaining the loyalty of Koyuki's former enemies—left a deep impression on her.

"The Snow Ninja are loyal to you, Princess," Naruto told her. "It's your country, not mine. But remember the bet you made with me."

Koyuki couldn't help but feel a spark of admiration for Naruto—a man straight out of a fantasy tale.

[Baiming World: Reactions]

Yamanaka Ino: "Look at this! Heiming is meditating on the deck, and Koyuki's eyes haven't left him!"

Haruno Sakura: "Oh no… She's fallen for him! The Princess of the Land of Snow is in love with Kuronaru!"

Hatake Kakashi: "Maybe she's just amazed by his strength."

Jiraiya: "Kakashi, you don't understand women. Heroes like Heiming are irresistible."

Tsunade: "Even if she's in love, her dream was to become an actress, not rule a country. She might end up a puppet leader."

[Inside Naruto's Spiritual World]

Naruto opened his eyes and found Kurama, the Nine-Tails, lazily lounging nearby.

"Kurama," Naruto called. "Can I trim your claws?"

Kurama blinked, startled. "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

"Just a little. Trust me."

Reluctantly, Kurama extended a claw, and Naruto snipped the tip off. He then asked Kurama to walk to a different spot. Minutes later, Naruto called for him to stop.

Kurama stared at his claw, only to realize it was intact—just as it had been before Naruto trimmed it. He looked around, realizing he was back in the same spot he'd started from.

"What's going on?" Kurama asked, puzzled.

Naruto smirked. "I used my Rinnegan to rewind time. It's a new ability I've developed."

[The Audience Reacts to Heiming's Power]

Uchiha Madara: "Impossible! What kind of pupil technique is this?"

Senju Hashirama: "It's fascinating, but doesn't it lack the grandeur of Tengai Shinsei?"

Madara: "No. If his power lets him manipulate time, then he could potentially surpass my abilities."

Namikaze Minato: "This isn't space-time ninjutsu. It's pure time manipulation."

Jiraiya: "This ability makes Heiming almost invincible. He can undo injuries, mistakes, or even death if he uses it right."

---

[Heiming Explains His Pupil Technique]

Naruto continued explaining to Kurama. "With my Rinnegan, I can manipulate time. If I use it on someone else, I can revert their physical state to what it was minutes ago. But if I use it on myself, it works differently."

Kurama tilted his head. "How so?"

Naruto paced. "If I activate it on myself, it has two functions. I can activate it manually at any time, or it will activate automatically when the set time limit expires."

"Wait, so it's like a safety net?" Kurama asked.

"Exactly," Naruto said. "But there's more. When I activate it on myself, instead of returning to the point where I used the technique, I return to the point before I even activated it. It's like resetting to a checkpoint."

Kurama's jaw dropped. "You're basically immortal with this!"

Naruto shrugged. "There are limitations. The technique only works within a specific time frame. If I don't activate it in time, it loses effect."

[Reactions from Masters]

In a dark cave, Uchiha Obito's eyes widened in horror as he realized the implications.

"This technique… If Heiming were to fight me, he could trap me in a cycle of failure. Even Kamui wouldn't save me. He could rewind time and attack while I'm still materializing."

Black Zetsu chuckled darkly. "It seems you've met your match, Obito."

---

[In the Audience]

Senju Tobirama: "This ability isn't just powerful—it's terrifying. Heiming can reset his mistakes endlessly during battle."

Shimura Danzo: "It's like Izanagi, but without the drawbacks."

Orochimaru: "Exactly. Danzo, remember how you had to sacrifice Sharingan and chakra to use Izanagi? Heiming's ability costs him nothing but time."

Senju Tobirama: "Imagine a scenario where Heiming faces an equally strong opponent. Both exhaust their chakra. While his enemy struggles, Heiming resets to full strength."

Inuzuka Kiba: "That's insane! Heiming would just smile and ask, 'Surprised?'"

---

[Might Guy's Confusion]

On the stands, Might Guy turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi, explain this ability. I don't get it."

Kakashi sighed. "Fine. Think of it this way: If Heiming casts this technique on himself, he can use Eight Inner Gates Formation endlessly within a time limit."

Guy's eyes widened. "Even the Dead Gate?"

Kakashi nodded solemnly. "Yes. He could die, but the technique would reset him to life—completely unharmed."

Might Guy and Rock Lee: "That's unreal!"

---

[Naruto's Full Arsenal]

As Naruto discussed his Rinnegan's abilities with Kurama, he listed everything he had mastered:

Gravitational and repulsive forces

Chakra absorption

Soul extraction

Yin-Yang Release for creating chakra-disrupting black rods

Truth-Seeking Balls

Mind-reading

Time manipulation

Six Paths: Planetary Devastation

Kurama whistled. "With powers like these, you've surpassed even the Sage of Six Paths."

Naruto shook his head. "There's still a long way to go. These abilities mean nothing if I can't use them to protect my friends."

---

[Final Thoughts in Baiming World]

The audience in Baiming was speechless. Heiming's abilities sounded simple on the surface but were complex and game-changing in battle.

Uchiha Madara: "This is no ordinary power. Heiming could dominate the battlefield with strategy alone."

Senju Tobirama: "With time manipulation, even a mistake becomes a weapon."

Namikaze Minato: "In the hands of someone as determined as Heiming, this ability could shape the future of the ninja world."

As Naruto stood on the deck, looking at the horizon, Koyuki Kazahana couldn't take her eyes off him. For her, he wasn't just a hero—he was hope incarnate.

"Naruto Uzumaki," she whispered, "You're more than a ninja. You're a legend."
