Kitagawa Minamoto's Chakra extended into the vast cosmos, reaching the depths of the starry sky.
In the infinite expanse of space, two figures suddenly paused, as if sensing something. Their gazes turned toward the distance, filled with confusion.
Closer to the galactic core, a pair of Byakugan scanned the surroundings, equally puzzled.
Back in the ninja world, everyone looked up at the night sky, sensing the fluctuations of Chakra.
"What's going on lately? What's wrong with the moon now?"
In Konohagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others wore expressions of frustration.
The previous issue with the moon hadn't even been resolved, and now another anomaly had appeared.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu in Konohagakure was visibly unsettled.
He stared blankly at the night sky, muttering under his breath.
"Mother... this Chakra... it feels like Mother's..."
In the Land of Rain, Nagato gazed at the starry sky, while Obito Uchiha peered through the misty rain toward the moonlight.
Even Orochimaru raised his head, licking his lips with a peculiar smile.
"That Chakra..."
Inside a cave in the ninja world, the Second Elder from the moon stared at the sky in a daze. Beside him, Toneri tugged at his sleeve.
"Grandfather, what is that?"
"Toneri, don't worry. It's nothing."
The Second Elder snapped out of his thoughts and quickly pulled Toneri into the barrier he had set up.
"And don't leave the barrier. You'll be discovered."
Following the Great Elder's orders, the Second Elder had slipped away from the moon with Toneri during the chaos of battle.
Now, however, he felt utterly lost.
He had no idea what the future held, nor did he understand the ninja world.
And above them, the Tenseigan continued to watch over everything.
Most importantly, he himself didn't have much time left.
"Can that guy really win? Does the Ōtsutsuki Clan truly have a future?"
Some were filled with melancholy, while others were burdened with concerns.
In a desolate land, a monk-like figure gazed at the night sky, remaining silent for a long time.
"It seems that child has made another significant breakthrough."
In the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Ōtsutsuki silently observed the galaxy.
After a while, the Sage of Six Paths broke the silence by shaking his head.
"Hmm?"
Hamura was taken aback by his brother's gesture and looked at him in disbelief.
"You know him?"
"Yes, I know him."
The Sage of Six Paths nodded, withdrawing his gaze while maintaining his seated posture in midair.
"It's strange, though. Until recently, I never noticed anything unusual about him. He was always with Indra and Asura, even as a friend to Asura."
"He was with those two?"
"Indeed. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized this child's uniqueness and finally understood his extraordinary nature."
The Sage of Six Paths sighed, his tone tinged with admiration.
"That child possesses a bloodline like ours, but even more remarkable. Perhaps that's why I overlooked him before."
"So now..."
Hamura glanced at the sky, his expression filled with curiosity.
"And Brother, what do you think of him?"
"He's likely made another breakthrough or is exploring the depths of his bloodline's power."
The Sage of Six Paths smiled before speaking earnestly.
"As for my thoughts... At first, I was worried, but over time, I came to see the uniqueness of this child."
"Oh?"
"Although his methods differ from mine, he has a distinct sense of kindness within him."
Hamura listened quietly as the Sage of Six Paths continued smiling and elaborating.
"Toward enemies, he is like the harsh winds of winter; toward friends, he is like the warm sunshine of spring. He is extraordinary and exceptional—a truly special existence."
The Sage of Six Paths had observed Kitagawa Minamoto before, though his observations decreased as Kitagawa Minamoto grew stronger.
Still, he was confident in what he had seen.
Most notably, he could discern the goodness or evil within a person's heart.
In his view, Kitagawa Minamoto carried a sense of benevolence, much like Naruto now.
Even Sasuke was changing his destiny!
"So, even if his methods differ and his ideas are unconventional, as long as the outcome is positive, I believe everything is fine."
The Sage of Six Paths concluded with a cheerful smile, while Hamura seemed deep in thought.
After a moment, Hamura joked:
"Of course, it also helps that we're powerless against that kid, doesn't it?"
"Is that so?"
The Sage of Six Paths tilted his head, then broke into a hearty laugh.
"Maybe? If you think so, then perhaps it's true. But I'd rather believe in these children. After all, both Indra and Asura trust him deeply."
"Leaving it to the next generation, huh?"
Hamura chuckled and shook his head. Suddenly, a peculiar thought crossed his mind, and his expression turned strange as he asked:
"From what you're saying, this child is quite remarkable, isn't he?"
"Indeed, he is exceptional."
Hearing his brother's words, the Sage of Six Paths paused for a moment, his mind filled with various images.
For instance, the boy had caused chaos after gaining the surname "Ōtsutsuki" through his bloodline awakening.
Then, there was the time he delivered "heavy punches" to his descendants.
And the time he scared his old friend Gamamaru out of his wits.
Not to mention the series of events involving Indra and Asura.
The Sage of Six Paths' smile gradually faded.
"But his personality is quite dreadful!"
"..."
Hamura blinked, surprised to see his brother's expression change so drastically for the first time.
"So overall, we don't need to do anything?"
"Didn't you say we're powerless against him?"
The Sage of Six Paths chuckled before replying seriously:
"As long as Mother doesn't emerge, we shouldn't act. Besides, I believe in the power of the next generation."
He paused, his gaze returning to the sky, his face once again lighting up with a smile.
"Perhaps the feud between Indra and Asura will end with him. Perhaps he'll bring about a transformation in the world."
"And maybe, in an even more unknown and terrifying future, we'll still see his presence."
"He is extraordinary, a leader, and a truly unique Ōtsutsuki!"
A truly unique Ōtsutsuki?
Hamura followed his brother's gaze to the sky, nodding after a moment of contemplation.
"Perhaps so. That child is indeed remarkable..."
"But Brother..."
After a long pause, Hamura turned to his brother with a puzzled expression, while the Sage of Six Paths looked at him curiously.
"What is it?"
"That child said the feud between Indra and Asura was your doing. Is that true?"
"..."
"Did you use a thousand years of time, staining the earth with blood and sacrificing countless lives to temper them for the future threat of the 'Celestial Beings'? Is that it?"
"..."
"Are you truly that cold and ruthless?"
"..."
The Sage of Six Paths fell silent, unsure how to respond.
Even with his level of composure, he found his fists clenched tightly at this moment.
Back on the moon, Kitagawa Minamoto slowly opened his eyes.
He took a deep breath, then cautiously scanned his surroundings.
"Looks like everything's fine."
Despite being in a state of enhancement, he remained vigilant.
Now, it seemed his concerns were unfounded.
The two figures appeared merely curious about him, with no hostile intentions.
"After all, aside from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki breaking the seal and forcing the Sage of Six Paths to emerge, they've never intervened in anything else."
Whether it was Momoshiki and Kinshiki's invasion, Urashiki and Isshiki's assaults, or the later "Divine Tree Chaos,"
They had remained steadfast, trusting the next generation to handle everything.
"Especially since I'm on their side, they're even less likely to act against me."
Kitagawa Minamoto chuckled.
Although he had suspected this for some time, he now felt certain.
"Though... will the Sage of Six Paths hold a grudge against me for defaming him?"
Blinking, he couldn't help but wonder if the old man was the type to hold grudges.
After all, even Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to remember every little thing about him.
Soon, however, he set aside such thoughts and focused on the improvements he had gained.
"My bloodline development has progressed significantly..."
Kitagawa Minamoto glanced at his Status Panel, noting his current development rate and nodding in satisfaction.
Bloodline development slowed significantly in later stages, but this was to be expected.
Even now, with his formidable abilities, he had only reached 58% development.
This suggested...
"My limits are likely as I predicted—not just any ordinary Ōtsutsuki, but perhaps the so-called 'Ōtsutsuki God'!"
Though he had suspected this for a while, he now felt increasingly certain.
"Perhaps I've even underestimated myself..."
"Well, future matters can wait. This breakthrough is truly remarkable!"
Shaking his head, Kitagawa Minamoto decided not to dwell on it.
This latest enhancement was undeniably substantial.
Before setting out, he had been at 52%.
By combining Naruto's Yang Release with the Tenseigan's power, he had jumped to 58%.
At this stage, his control over Chakra had reached an unprecedented level.
His body had grown even stronger, with his bones absorbing Chakra more efficiently.
He felt as if a casual punch could unleash infinite power!
Even catastrophic phenomena seemed achievable through his strength and Chakra.
"But compared to my physical enhancements, the greatest gain this time is undoubtedly my eyes..."
The Tenseigan's power primarily targeted his eyes.
Especially since his eyes had already reached saturation before this breakthrough.
[Dōjutsu: Tenseigan (Full Moon Eyes)] [Special Abilities: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Karma, Chakra Beads, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion (and more)]
Looking at his updated Status Panel, Kitagawa Minamoto couldn't help but smile.
His eyes had finally reached the third stage of evolution!
And he had finally acquired the long-awaited Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
While the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was already powerful, it paled in comparison to the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
After all, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was capable of slicing the moon itself!
"With this technique, my destructive power will reach new heights. And..."
Kitagawa Minamoto's gains didn't end there.
The energy brewing in his forehead was growing stronger, leaving him curious about its nature.
Moreover, thanks to the resonance with the giant Tenseigan, he could now manipulate meteors more effortlessly.
This meant his Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star technique would be even more effective and devastating!
Additionally, he had gained control over the "Ancestor Statue," effectively mastering all the abilities of the Tenseigan.
"Not to mention, the Chakra of the giant Tenseigan seems to be compatible with the 'Divine Tree's Source'..."
The Divine Tree's Source was crucial.
Kitagawa Minamoto believed it was likely the "Ten-Tails," or perhaps...
"I recall the Divine Tree cultivating a true 'Zetsu.' That seems like something extraordinary..."
Kitagawa Minamoto's expression turned peculiar.
He wasn't sure if his memories were accurate regarding Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's ultimate goal.
But he was certain of one thing: the Divine Tree's cultivation would benefit his eyes greatly.
Especially since his eyes had begun absorbing Chakra once more!
"Even after reaching the third stage, my eyes continue to absorb energy. It seems their potential is far from exhausted."
He understood that beyond the normal Dōjutsu, there was something called "Divine Arts."
"Karma" fell under the category of "Divine Arts," further proving he hadn't yet reached his limits.
"Now then..."
Standing up, Kitagawa Minamoto raised his hand, summoning a Divine Tree clone.
Though the moon's interior had been damaged, he had no intention of abandoning it—especially the giant Tenseigan.
He still needed its Chakra to continue enhancing himself.
Additionally, he planned to study and refine the lunar archives thoroughly.
These records were treasures, and learning from them would only accelerate his growth!
"Besides, moving forward, my focus will shift to the Tailed Beasts, Indra and Asura's Chakra, and ultimately Kekkei Mōra."
Kekkei Mōra was paramount, undoubtedly the key to unlocking his bloodline's full potential.
"Perhaps only by successfully integrating Kekkei Mōra can I achieve an even greater breakthrough."
Stretching lazily, Kitagawa Minamoto felt the boundless Chakra within him.
Gazing at the radiant giant Tenseigan before him, he smiled.
"This has been a truly fruitful endeavor. Properly digesting these gains will surely lead to further progress."
"Though, speaking of which, that Toneri fled quite quickly. No matter—he's no longer capable of causing trouble."
"And it's time to return. Being alone here is starting to feel a bit strange."
