"It all went so smoothly, as if everything had fallen into place!"
Shinji couldn't help but marvel.
From his perspective, it wasn't hard to see that Karin and Hikari's smooth ascension to Six Paths level was due not only to the effects of Karma and Yachihoko, which they had mentioned, but also to another crucial factor—one they had both overlooked.
That was their accumulated progress.
In truth, both Karin and Hikari had steadily grown stronger through the various surgeries and training Shinji had put them through over the years. They had reached a point where they could make almost no further progress below Six Paths level.
To say nothing of everything else, the Six Tomoe Rinnegan in their eye sockets alone already represented the pinnacle of dojutsu Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World.
Compared to it, even advanced dojutsu like the Rinnegan and Tenseigan fell slightly short.
On top of that, after repeated cell fusions, their Sage Bodies had been completed. The bloodlines of the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha had blended together, bringing their physiques ever closer to that of the Sage of Six Paths.
So whether it was their Dojutsu, Chakra reserves, or even their most basic physical constitutions, they had already met the requirements for ascending to Six Paths level. That was why Karma and Yachihoko could have such an effect afterward.
Otherwise, even with Karma and Yachihoko, the two of them could never have ascended to Six Paths level so smoothly!
Taking all these factors into account, the method Karin and Hikari had used to reach Six Paths level wasn't broadly applicable.
That wasn't to say it couldn't be replicated at all. It was just that doing so would require an enormous investment—not only of effort, but also of time—and there was considerable uncertainty involved.
