As the reincarnation of Indra Ōtsutsuki, Sasuke possessed the potential to awaken the Rinnegan. This had already been proven in the original timeline, so there was no need to doubt it.
To Hyuga Kagami, the only question now was how difficult it would be for Sasuke to awaken the Rinnegan naturally.
Madara Uchiha, who had also been a reincarnation of Indra Ōtsutsuki, had obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and transplanted First Hokage Cells, yet he had struggled for decades and only barely awakened the Rinnegan when he was already in his twilight years.
Using that as a reference, it was clear that Sasuke would not be able to awaken the Rinnegan merely by fusing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and transplanting First Hokage Cells.
"For now, I can only take it one step at a time..."
Soon, Hyuga Kagami left the hospital and gathered his thoughts.
He had no ability to summon the Sage of Six Paths and bestow Six Paths power upon Naruto and Sasuke, so there was no point in overthinking it.
Moreover, Madara Uchiha's circumstances had been somewhat unusual. Sasuke might find it easier to awaken the Rinnegan than Madara had, after all, Madara had used Izanagi to fake his death and escape the battle against the First Hokage at the Valley of the End, at the cost of blinding one of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
No one could currently determine just how much losing one Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had affected the awakening of the Rinnegan.
Therefore, Madara's barely managing to awaken the Rinnegan only when he was on the verge of death might very well have been due to losing one Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his battle against the First Hokage.
After everyone left Konoha Hospital, the Kage parted ways with Hyuga Kagami's group and returned to
