Chapter 228: Unstoppable 【17】
In a certain white expanse of space.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's Byakugan was in a state of stimulation, and her gaze penetrated this space between illusion and reality, witnessing a scene that unfolded on the moon.
"Damn it!"
He clenched his fists involuntarily and was about to walk in a certain direction.
Just then, the Sage of Six Paths raised his hand, blocking him with the Six Paths Staff in his hand. "This is also part of the change, Hagoromo. Don't interfere any further."
"But the moon was destroyed by him..."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki frowned and spoke.
The Sage of Six Paths shook his head. "Change will inevitably come, and Mother's resurrection may be unavoidable. When necessary, I will also send out my chakra, but let's not intervene too much in other matters."
"When I created the Ninshu, it led to the emergence of ninjas and more wars. Now, your intervention has caused your descendants to perish as well... It's enough."
The Sage of Six Paths' gaze fell upon the ninja world, his eyes devoid of much emotion, only a faint glimmer.
From the day he split the Nine-Tails to the day he 'passed away,' he had been watching over the ninja world, and Hagoromo had been by his side, witnessing a thousand years pass.
In this long span of time, he had seen too much life and death, and to him, life and death were not overly important. He was more concerned about the future of the world.
"..."
Hagoromo stared at the Sage of Six Paths for a few seconds.
He slowly sat down and finally closed his eyes, remaining silent.
...
Somewhere in the ninja world.
The figure of White Zetsu appeared at the top of a towering tree, gazing into the distance at a point in the sky. "That direction... it's not within the ninja world, is it?"
"It's the moon..."
Black Zetsu's deep voice echoed, "The moon has been shattered."
White Zetsu exclaimed in surprise, "The moon has been shattered? Is there someone capable of doing this?"
"..."
Black Zetsu fell silent, staring in the direction of the moon.
Whether it was Obito Uchiha or the previous Fengye, neither should have had the ability to shatter the moon. They were still a notch below the Sage of Six Paths.
But now, the moon seemed to have been destroyed in battle, indicating that a power beyond Obito Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha had emerged in this world.
That was the power of the Six Paths.
"Is it Hagoromo's doing...?"
Black Zetsu murmured to himself.
Instead of feeling daunted, he was exhilarated.
The moon was the main seal created by the Sage of Six Paths to seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki. It not only sealed away the Ten-Tails' shell, but also Kaguya's spirit.
Even after Madara Uchiha opened his Rinnegan and summoned the Ten-Tails' shell, Kaguya Otsutsuki's spirit remained locked within the moon, unable to escape.
Infinite Tsukuyomi was the key to releasing Kaguya's spirit.
But now, the moon had been destroyed.
The main seal containing Kaguya Otsutsuki's spirit no longer existed. Even though her spirit had not awakened due to the dispersal of chakra into the nine tailed beasts and the Ten-Tails' shell, that spirit had now fallen into the ninja world and would naturally influence it.
Now, in order to resurrect Kaguya, Black Zetsu no longer needed Infinite Tsukuyomi, nor did he need the Rinnegan. As long as he could combine the power of the nine tailed beasts with the Ten-Tails' shell and recreate the Ten-Tails, Kaguya Otsutsuki's will would instantly revive within its body!
Black Zetsu revealed a sinister smile.
"Well done, Hagoromo."
"Even if I do nothing, Mother's consciousness will gradually awaken within the Ten-Tails' shell and the tailed beasts as time passes, and it will eventually coalesce."
Among the fragmented moon debris, Feng Ye stood silently.
Beside him, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eye sockets were empty, blood flowing from them as he breathed heavily.
The last vestiges of power within his body were forcibly condensed by him, transforming into a small, black Chakra receiver. This, in turn, became a sharp bone spike in his hand.
Swish!
With a final burst of strength, Hagoromo suddenly flipped over and thrust the receiver-turned-spear towards Feng Ye's head.
Now was the moment!
Feng Ye was at his most vulnerable!
But just as Hagoromo moved, Feng Ye's eyes, still closed, shifted slightly, effortlessly dodging the attack. He then appeared above Hagoromo and stomped down with his foot.
It seemed as if he was unprepared, but in truth, Kurama had been keeping watch.
Boom!
A torrent of powerful ninja magic chakra descended.
Having exhausted his last bit of strength, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was completely shattered by the onslaught of Six Paths chakra. His shattered body twitched once before becoming still, the final traces of his chakra and life force slowly dissipating.
After defeating Hagoromo, Feng Ye landed on a fragment, sat down, and kept his eyes tightly shut, his eyelids twitching continuously.
A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyeballs had turned white, and the irises at the very center had also whitened, but the entire eye was not a pure white. Instead, a soft blue glow emanated from the white irises, like a shimmering gemstone.
"So this is the Rinne Sharingan..."
"No, it's not quite there yet."
Feng Ye waved his hand, creating a puddle of water, and examined his reflection, taking in the changes to his eyes.
Compared to the Rinne Sharingan in his memory, the blue in his eyes was only a shallow layer, and the very center of his irises had not completely turned blue.
He could feel it.
These eyes were still undergoing a transformation.
"It seems that just like Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, the eye power and the Sage's body need to fully integrate and undergo a qualitative change, and that takes time."
Feng Ye, sensing the changes in his eyes, wore an expression of deep thought.
A moment later, he gained a clearer understanding of his situation.
His eyes were indeed transforming towards the Rinne Sharingan, and the rate of transformation was not slow. He could clearly sense the progress of this metamorphosis.
Uchiha Madara had only transplanted a small piece of Senju Hashirama's cells, so he only gained the Rinnegan later in life. But Feng Ye's situation was entirely different.
A perfect Sage's body.
The Byakugan, containing the power of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
The combination of these two was far more intense than Uchiha Madara's transplant, and according to his judgment, it would take just a few months at most to complete this transformation, and using time acceleration would only speed up the process!
Furthermore, as the eye power integrated with the Sage's body, these eyes had become a part of him. For someone who possessed the power of time, no one could take them away.
Not even Hagoromo.
Nor the Sage of Six Paths.
Not even Kaguya Otsutsuki could stop him from obtaining the Rinne Sharingan and stepping into the Six Paths realm.
