Chapter 380: The Real World
"Dragon Vein." Hagoromo Gengetsu sensed the enormous chakra within him that did not belong to him.
As his true self entered the Limited Tsukuyomi world, the Dragon Vein followed.
Without hesitation, Hagoromo Gengetsu focused his mind, and an enormous blue Dragon Vein emerged from his body.
Roar!!
This Dragon Vein, far larger than any he had encountered before, had gathered chakra from countless worlds and now circled above Hagoromo Gengetsu.
It sensed that something was off about this world.
But Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't give it much time to ponder. He immediately ordered it to anchor itself in this world just like the other Dragon Veins.
Unusually, the Dragon Vein resisted.
This world was unfamiliar to it. Instinctively, it felt uncomfortable.
But it was futile.
Under Hagoromo Gengetsu's control, the Dragon Vein's initial resistance melted away like snow.
Roar!!
With a thunderous roar, the Dragon Vein swiftly located the most suitable place in this world to reside. With a ground-shaking impact, the vast blue Dragon Vein descended like a colossal waterfall, plunging into the earth and settling within the depths of this world.
From this moment on, the ground shook violently.
It's unclear what kind of impact the Dragon Vein's arrival had on the real world, but here, as it forcefully integrated into the Limited Tsukuyomi world, the entire world trembled unsteadily.
At this point, the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya began to emit a white light.
Clearly, the instability of the Dragon Vein was affecting them.
Thanks to the other self's complete trust and integration into this world, Hagoromo Gengetsu remained unaffected. He even had the power to stabilize Kaguya and her son, causing the time-traveling white light to fade away.
After some time, the blue Dragon Vein chakra began to flow through the Limited Tsukuyomi world, instinctively connecting to other worlds across time and space, returning to the embrace of the complete Dragon Vein.
Once all the disturbances had subsided, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked at the Limited Tsukuyomi world again.
He could feel that the world had changed.
A drop of ink had fallen, and the once pure white paper was now stained.
As time passed, the paper would absorb more ink, and its influence would only grow.
Hagoromo Gengetsu decided to speed things up.
He turned to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
She nodded.
With a wave of chakra, Kaguya split into two.
"You..."
The Kaguya from Hagoromo Gengetsu's world had just revealed her true form when her expression suddenly changed.
Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had been waiting nearby, placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Become the Proginetor of Chakra of this world."
"Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei!"
In an instant, the earth shattered, and countless rocks and soil layers rose toward the ascending Kaguya, enveloping her.
"To think I would be sealed again," Kaguya muttered, glaring at Hagoromo Gengetsu with intense resentment. Eventually, just as she had a thousand years ago, she was sealed in outer space, becoming part of the Limited Tsukuyomi world.
But it wasn't over.
Hagoromo Gengetsu extracted the Ten-Tails from the original world, re-splitting it into nine tailed beasts and forcibly merging their chakra with the nine tailed beasts of this world.
In doing so, by adding this new drop of ink, and with the Dragon Vein and the Six Paths-level chakra influencing a vast area of the world, the remaining blank spaces were completely submerged in ink.
Through the vision of his Rinnegan, Hagoromo Gengetsu observed deep transformations occurring throughout the Limited Tsukuyomi world. It was becoming more stable.
The power of the Six Paths could reverse life and death, turn illusion into reality, and change everything.
More importantly, the Dragon Vein continued to draw power from its complete form, following established laws to connect the world it now inhabited with many parallel worlds, ultimately making it a part of the sequence.
With the Dragon Vein and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya as pillars, the Limited Tsukuyomi world was no longer just a fragile reflection of reality, easily disturbed by a mere ripple.
As planned, it was truly given meaning and reality.
Over time, this world would become indistinguishable from the real world.
What Hagoromo Gengetsu could perceive, the Sage of Six Paths could also see.
He looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu in amazement and surprise, not expecting the outlandish idea to actually succeed.
"So, can we go back now?" asked the Sage of Six Paths, from the same world as Hagoromo Gengetsu.
In the meantime, the Kaguya who had witnessed another version of herself being sealed with the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei couldn't help but feel a twinge of sorrow, despite being one of the masterminds behind the plan.
Glancing at her son beside her, she vowed silently not to repeat the same mistake and was eager to return to her own world.
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths seemed to notice something, and he looked at his mother with a complicated expression.
"The Limited Tsukuyomi world isn't completely stable yet. We need to wait a little longer," Hagoromo Gengetsu said, looking at the Kaguya and her son, who had been working together in perfect harmony but now seemed estranged. Not interested in meddling in family matters, he gave a serious answer.
He also wanted to send the two of them back.
But the Limited Tsukuyomi world had only just stabilized. The Dragon Vein and the sealed Kaguya still needed more time to reshape this world.
Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't want any unexpected mishaps at the last moment.
"To be safe, let's wait about a month," Hagoromo Gengetsu said, sensing and analyzing the world's changes.
Kaguya and her son had no objections.
They could wait a month.
"In the meantime, you two can either find a quiet place to wait or explore this world a bit. However, I have one reminder for you both."
"This is my world, and I don't want to see it damaged."
After reminding the two, Hagoromo Gengetsu waved his hand and turned to leave.
The Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya looked at each other.
The former spoke, "Mother, would you like to see the human world? It's the most beautiful sight on the planet."
Kaguya looked at her son and replied coldly, "No need."
With that, she turned and left, seeking a secluded place to wait quietly.
"The will still hasn't changed," the Sage of Six Paths sighed deeply as he watched his mother walk away.
From beginning to end, his mother had never changed her view of the world or humanity as he had hoped. She still saw the world as her garden and humans as her seedlings, to be harvested and controlled at will.
This was the last thing he wanted to see.
"I must be prepared," the Sage of Six Paths thought as he continued to observe the Limited Tsukuyomi world.
In his world, the only Indra reincarnate, Uchiha Madara, was dead.
The Naruto he was possessing hadn't been born yet.
Both the reincarnations of Asura and Indra were now vacant.
The question was, where to find suitable candidates?
