Chapter 464 The Eye of the Moon
Chapter 464 The Eye of the Moon
Satsuki slowly opened her eyes, filled with the excitement of new life.
It was as if something long imprisoned had suddenly shattered deep within my consciousness, or as if a dormant flower bud, after accumulating all its strength, was about to burst into bloom at dawn in the deepest darkness.
An unprecedented, vast and subtle sense of power surged from the depths of his eyes like a tide, flowing through his limbs and bones, and finally returning to his pupils, forming a perfect and powerful internal cycle.
Naruto's cells already existed in her body, blending seamlessly with her Uchiha bloodline and Indra's chakra.
However, Naruto's cells are far superior to "ordinary" Ashura cells. These cells contain the primordial essence of the Otsutsuki clan, the celestial divinity bestowed by the stars, and Naruto's own Ashura chakra essence, which has long transcended the ordinary.
This is a unique "gift from the gods" that combines the rules of the universe with the ultimate Yang Escape technique.
When the Sage of Six Paths used his most primal Six Paths Yin Release power as a "key" and "catalyst" to completely detonate this hidden power, Zuo Yue's eyes underwent a strange change that even surprised her creator.
The Sage of Six Paths looked at Satsuki's open eyes, a look of utter astonishment clearly appearing on his face.
Satsuki's left eye is a deep purple, and the pupil has a distinctive wavy pattern.
However, in the center and between those layers of ripples, there was not nothing at all, but six jet-black magatama were clearly imprinted!
The Six-Tomoe Rinnegan! This is an evolved form that surpasses the ordinary Rinnegan, adding even more powerful Yin Release characteristics and control to the original eye power!
Her right eye was even more terrifying! It retained the crimson base color of the Sharingan, but the shape of the pupil was not the traditional tomoe or windmill, but rather transformed into layers of rippling waves!
Furthermore, against that crimson rippled background, nine jet-black magatama were prominently embedded! The nine magatama seemed to form a star map of a miniature universe, radiating a supreme pressure that sent shivers down one's spine, a mixture of chilling coldness and the aura of creation and destruction!
The Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan! Also known as the Rinne Sharingan!
This is the ultimate pinnacle of theoretical evolution in the Sharingan lineage, a bloodline limit level eye technique that surpasses the ordinary Rinnegan!
In the present history, only Kaguya Otsutsuki, who devoured the fruit of the Divine Tree, became the Goddess of Creation, and then fell into the Demon of Destruction, ever possessed such eyes!
At this moment, these legendary supreme eyes have actually appeared on Uchiha Sasuke! The level of his eye power is almost on par with Naruto's [Star Eye]!
Naruto's cells, stored within Sasuke's body and fused with the power of the Starry Sky, were catalyzed by the power of the Six Paths. The "Origin of the Starry Sky" contained within cleverly replaced the "Power of the Divine Tree Fruit" originally needed to activate the "Rinne Sharingan," guiding Sasuke's eyes toward this ultimate form.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's eyes, which were so different yet harmoniously unified, radiating a breathtaking beauty and power, and was equally astonished.
How could the evolution be so rapid?! It skipped the ordinary Rinnegan, and even the common tomoe Rinnegan variants, and directly reached the legendary "Rinne Sharingan"?
Could it be that in the original work, the old man of the Six Paths didn't really give Indra's reincarnation all the power he had?
He glanced behind him at the several black Seeking the Way Jewels that he could summon and control at will, symbolizing the manifestation of the power of the Six Paths.
"...Alright." The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, broke the silence with a sense of relief at having completed his final mission. "I have done everything I could and should have done. The rest of the journey, and the future of this world, are entirely in your hands."
"Huh? Are you leaving so soon?" Naruto asked instinctively.
"Yes." Yu Yi responded calmly, "I have nothing left to worry about or be concerned about. Peace is in sight, external enemies are defended, and the Pure Land is secure. Now, it is time for this consciousness, which has lingered for far too long, to return to the place where it should rest in peace."
His only thought now is to return to the depths of that pure land he created but has never truly perfected, to completely unload the heavy weariness of this place that has lasted for thousands of years, a place that binds life and death, witnesses grudges and is filled with anxiety and responsibility, and to have a good "rest".
Even if it's just to find a moment of true peace in that eternal slumber.
"Alright," Naruto scratched his head, understanding though he felt the other's departure was a bit sudden. "But now that you're in the Pure Land, I think we'll meet again soon, right?"
"At that time, I'll need your help to 'introduce' me to the environment."
Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths' expression stiffened for a moment.
"Don't rely on predecessors for these kinds of things!"
"I have entrusted you with the complete 'management rights' and 'construction principles' of the Pure Land! I need you because I hope you can use your own strength and wisdom to create and establish a completely new and more perfect order of life and death!"
"This doesn't mean you should follow the old path I left behind, or come to me, an old man who should have retired long ago, for everything! You need to learn to be your own boss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seemingly to prevent Naruto from making any further requests to "rely on his senior," the chakra avatar of Otsutsuki Hagoromo said nothing more. The already faint light and shadow quickly became transparent and thin, like the mist under the morning light, silently and completely dissipating in the warm light of the living room.
In the living room, only Uchiha Satsuki, who had just obtained the supreme eye power, and her husband, the new "Pure Land Manager," Uzumaki Naruto, whose face clearly said, "This old man runs away fast."
"Tch... If you don't want to help, just say so. Why are you yelling so loudly?"
Naruto gazed in the direction where the Sage of Six Paths had disappeared, muttering something under his breath, though there wasn't much resentment in his voice.
With a slight thought, the few floating black Seeking Truth Orbs behind him disappeared without a sound.
"...He's gone?" Zuo Yue closed her newly evolved eyes. When she opened them again, her pupils had returned to their usual deep black.
"Yeah, he's gone." Naruto focused his senses for a moment, but he couldn't detect any lingering traces of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra.
That will must have returned to that peaceful place called "Pure Land" to enjoy the true "rest" it had been waiting for for thousands of years.
The living room returned to the tranquility of their private world, but the atmosphere was completely different from before the arrival of the Sage of Six Paths.
"Well then, Satsuki," Naruto turned his head, a smile of excitement and curiosity on his face, "shouldn't we find a suitable place to test the power of your new eyes? You must be super curious too."
However, Zuo Yue did not immediately respond to his suggestion. She simply looked at him quietly, gently bit her lower lip, and asked.
"Is everything he said... true?"
"what?"
"Asura... Indra... Do we carry within us the power and destiny of our blood relatives?"
Naruto's relaxed smile faded slightly as he met Sasuke's probing gaze and nodded. "...Yes, that's right. Although it sounds bizarre, like a myth come to life, it's...it's true."
"However," he emphasized firmly, "we are who we are, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Those chakra might have influenced our meeting and certain traits, but ultimately, it was our own choice and our own heart that brought us together, led us to marry, fall in love, and spend our lives together. That will never change."
Zuo Yue listened quietly, the doubt and unease in her eyes gradually dissipating. In their place, a strange light of confirmation shone through.
"Then let's go quickly." Zuo Yue suddenly said, her tone becoming somewhat urgent, and reached out to take Naruto's wrist.
"Huh?" Naruto was taken aback by her sudden action, instinctively assuming that she was finally eager to test her new power. "Alright, let's go outside the village..."
Before he could finish speaking, he realized that Zuo Yue was pulling him not towards the front door, but rather...
I walked up the stairs to the second floor where the bedroom was located.
"We'll have plenty of time to test our strength later," Zuo Yue said without turning around. He pulled Naruto up the steps. "Now, the time has come. That troublesome old man is finally gone."
She turned her head slightly to the side, and the setting sun shone through the stairwell window, outlining a soft contour on her flushed face.
Her voice was low, carrying an unquestionable tone.
"The honeymoon period is not a time for cultivation."
These words struck Naruto instantly. His face flushed red, and his heart raced uncontrollably.
The enchanting atmosphere, which had cooled down temporarily due to the Sage of Six Paths' sudden visit and the transfer of power, is now returning with double the heat.
He looked at Zuo Yue's slender back and felt the force coming from his wrist, his throat felt a little dry.
"You're right..." Naruto muttered in agreement, his steps unconsciously following.
The two walked into the bedroom, one after the other... actually, it was Satsuki "pulling" Naruto along. The door closed gently behind them, cutting off the last ray of light and sound from the outside world.
The room was filled with their familiar scents and the lingering warmth of the afternoon sun.
Satsuki released Naruto's hand, turned around, and faced him.
The room was dark, and the dim light made her face look somewhat hazy, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at Naruto, her face still flushed, her eyes filled with a mixture of love, possessiveness, and a little bit of... cunning expectation.
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and her voice became even softer than before.
"Um... Naruto."
"Hmm?" Naruto looked at her, waiting.
"Since... according to that old man, my chakra is... inherited from Indra..." Satsuki's cheeks turned even redder, but she still mustered up her courage and made that small request, which was tinged with selfishness and affection.
"Then... when it's just the two of us... could you... occasionally... call me 'older sister'?"
