Background / History

Hagoromo is the legendary Sage of Six Paths, credited with creating the Ninja World's order and, alongside his brother Hamura, sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. He considers the preservation of life and the reincarnation cycle his responsibility. 46 117

During Genki's destruction of Konoha, Hagoromo manifests inside an azure Susanoo to protect Naruto Uzumaki. Genki immediately recognizes him as a symbol of the suffering endured by the Uchiha and directs his rage toward him. 21

Hagoromo attempts to restrain Genki with Six Paths techniques, but Genki's soul-fed Black Susanoo rapidly outgrows his own power. As the battle devastates the Land of Fire and Genki's strength rises beyond the Six Paths level, Hagoromo burns his life essence to invoke the Six Paths: Yin-Yang Seal. 22 26 27

The seal binds Genki temporarily, but Genki channels soul origins, his domain's core power, and part of his own soul into the Eight-Handled Sword. The resulting strike annihilates the seal and destroys the Land of Fire; Hagoromo's life vanishes in the process. 28

In later parallel worlds, Hagoromo appears in spiritual or restored physical form to rally the Ninja World against Genki. He resurrects fallen leaders, empowers Naruto and Sasuke with Six Paths power, protects surviving lands with Yin-Yang Release, and repeatedly sacrifices his own strength to oppose Genki. 46 49 55 117 130
