Chapter 444: Reverse Harem Jutsu and the Rinnegan
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sneered. With a movement that was both slow and fast, she raised her right hand.
Before she could attack, the dozen or so shadow clones all transformed in unison.
"Reverse Harem Jutsu!"
In an instant, more than ten stark-naked, handsome men surrounded Kaguya. Among them were versions of Sasuke, Sai, and even Kabuto Yakushi and Jugo.
Ino knew men, but she knew women even better.
Kaguya's expression went blank. This was a development she had not anticipated at all.
Several of the handsome men's... pipes... swayed in the air, and her gaze was irresistibly drawn to them.
For a moment, she forgot all about pursuing her younger son.
Hamura, in mid-sprint, glanced back. Good heavens! The person helping him in secret had just summoned a dozen step-fathers for him! Ino signaled for him to run and not let his mind wander.
Naruto dared to charge in and land a punch because he was in Six Paths Sage Mode, with his speed and strength at their peak. What did Ino have now? Better to just run for it.
By the time Kaguya Ōtsutsuki came to her senses, they were long gone.
Hamura used natural energy to conceal his tracks. Thirty li away, Ino used the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly teleporting to a point fifty li away, then to eighty li, then one hundred and twenty.
No matter how vast the range of Kaguya's Byakugan, she couldn't find her now.
A quarter of an hour later, Ino and Hamura officially met.
Hamura first looked at her forehead—no horns, which meant she wasn't from the Ōtsutsuki clan. But when he saw her eyes, he hesitated again.
Ino, acting like a hero from the Water Margin, cupped her fists upon seeing Hamura. "Brother Hamura! I've finally found you!"
Hamura was stunned. "You know me? Are you a descendant of my brother?"
Ino was speechless. She hadn't even activated her three-tomoe Sharingan. How could every single one of them tell?
She could only stick to her previous story. In any case, Gamamaru had retreated to Mount Myōboku to hide and wouldn't be showing up anytime soon. She'd just pin it on him.
She spoke vaguely, hinting at a connection without confirming anything. Whether he believed it or not, that was her story.
She followed Hamura to find Hagoromo.
Hamura hadn't been controlled by Kaguya, so the two brothers avoided a fight to the death. Whether the Sage Talisman would be left over was still unknown. Ino needed to give the Power of Six Paths from the old fossil to his younger self.
The first time she met Hagoromo, he asked the same question: "Who are you?"
Hamura said, "Big brother, she says she's—"
To prevent her lie from being exposed, Ino stepped forward. "Brother Hagoromo, I am here to make a deal—no, no, force of habit. I am here to help you. You should be very familiar with this power."
She took out a fist-sized ball of golden chakra.
Ino had secretly kept a third of it for herself and was feeling quite anxious. She didn't know if this little bit of Six Paths power was enough to awaken this great figure's eyes directly from the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Rinnegan.
Hagoromo looked at the ball of golden chakra, his mind full of questions.
Whose chakra is this? Why does it feel so familiar? He asked with a puzzled expression, "You know us brothers? But why don't we know you?"
Ino chose her words carefully, speaking slowly. "Brother Hamura, I am indeed not familiar with. But you, Brother Hagoromo, we have met before."
As the father of the two children of destiny, Indra and Ashura, Hagoromo's wisdom far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
He asked suspiciously, "Are you from...?"
Ino nodded. "Yes."
Hagoromo pondered for a moment. "I understand. Thank you for your help. I will remember it."
He took the ball of golden chakra. The power of the same origin within it instantly gave him numerous insights.
If Ino's talent was a 1, then Hagoromo's was a 10. He was born that high, the kind you could never catch up to.
The power in his own bloodline was already strong enough, and now he had received chakra of the same origin as his own. He immediately channeled this power into his eyes.
Yin and Yang converged, and the power of all creation took root in his eyes.
As the father of Indra and Ashura, Hagoromo possessed both Yin and Yang chakra attributes. This wasn't the Yin and Yang of Yin and Yang Release, but the Yin and Yang of Yin and Yang Power.
However, at this moment, his Yin Power was not particularly strong. When sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he wielded the Yang Power, while his younger brother Hamura used the Yin Power. Later, Hamura went to the moon to guard the seal and gave his Yin Power to his brother. Years later, Hagoromo, who had become the Sage of Six Paths, merged the Yin and Yang Powers, finally completely mastering the Yin-Yang Release technique of "creating something from nothing."
At this moment, Hagoromo received the gift from his future self, the Sage of Six Paths, making up for his shortcomings in Yin Power. His bloodline talent was completed, and his spiritual energy began to rise at an exaggerated rate.
Madara was stuck at this step for decades.
Even with his outstanding talent, Hagoromo was now facing an obstacle.
The energy required to awaken the Rinnegan was colossal. Even with Hagoromo's current aptitude and the gift from his future self, his rate of ascension still hadn't crossed that threshold.
He closed his eyes tightly, seemingly trying to break through this barrier with his own strength.
Hamura's ocular power was also undeniably strong. He was a little anxious and asked Ino, "Why do I feel that my brother's breakthrough is not going smoothly?"
Is it because I secretly kept a third of the Six Paths power? Ino felt she should trust the young version of the old fossil and let him try a little harder. Maybe he could succeed without that one-third?
People still need to rely on themselves! Always thinking about getting a power-up from your future self, how can you become successful that way?
She waited for five seconds, her heart also feeling a little anxious.
At this moment, her Sharingan and Hamura's Byakugan were carefully observing Hagoromo's state.
The more Ino watched, the more she felt guilty.
It wasn't working! Hagoromo's forehead was covered in sweat. The chakra in his eyes had gathered to its limit, but he still couldn't push open that final gate.
If he didn't have the Rinnegan, what would be the consequences? Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, Gamamaru, and her, Ino Yamanaka—the four great rebels sitting together, laughing and chatting as they typed "GG"?
That was absolutely not an option.
Hagoromo had to awaken the Rinnegan today.
After thinking it over, she took out another small ball of golden chakra.
This was equivalent to half of the one-third of the Six Paths power she had kept.
She spoke with an air of complete confidence. "Don't worry, Brother Hamura. I anticipated this. Look, what's this? This little bit of chakra will be enough for Brother Hagoromo to break through."
There was more? Hamura was greatly surprised. He could also see that his big brother was just one step away. With external help now, he would surely be able to break through.
And that was indeed the case.
This small ball of golden chakra was infused into Hagoromo's body. The heavy expression on his face immediately disappeared. The chakra in his eyes underwent a qualitative change. His eyelids twitched twice, and when he opened his eyes, what was presented before the two of them was the purple Rinnegan.
