Birth of the Six Paths Brothers

From beginning to end, Nanchuan You believed Kaguya would never harm him.

This was the confidence cultivated through years of living together.

Over those long years, they had become each other's closest people.

Anyone in this world might harm him, but the Kaguya before him was impossible.

In the time that followed, Kaguya began preparing to plant the Karma.

As an important means of reincarnation for the Otsutsuki Clan, the planting of Karma was not casual; its host required careful selection.

If one lacked sufficient tolerance for Otsutsuki chakra, they simply could not bear the power of the Karma, and a single misstep would cause their body to collapse and die on the spot.

In this regard, Nanchuan You's foundational conditions were not good.

Fortunately, his body had been nourished by Otsutsuki Kaguya's chakra for years, giving him some degree of adaptation to her chakra.

But even so, the planting of the Karma was not smooth.

Kaguya expended considerable effort to plant the incomplete Karma inside Nanchuan You.

For Nanchuan You, this was already the limit.

If they pushed any further, his body would collapse.

"Is this the Karma?"

Standing in place, Nanchuan You raised his hand.

On his palm, an incomplete rhomboid mark emerged, possessing a unique aesthetic, very distinctive, filled with a mysterious aura.

As the Karma was planted, a similar aura to Otsutsuki Kaguya's began to emanate from him.

Kaguya's power was transforming his body, causing changes within him.

He became younger, as if returning to his former youth.

This change even surprised Kaguya before him.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, with no major accidents.

When the entire process ended, she also let out a long sigh of relief.

"I have a premonition..."

Standing in place, she looked at Nanchuan You before her and murmured softly: "Our child is about to be born..."

Perhaps due to the nature of the Otsutsuki Clan itself, or maybe because Kaguya had consumed the Chakra Fruit, her pregnancy was far longer than imagined.

From back then until now, ten years had already passed, and Kaguya still had not given birth.

But now, Kaguya finally had a premonition.

Her child would be born; it wouldn't be long now.

"About to be born?"

Hearing Kaguya's words, Nanchuan You nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

If nothing unexpected happened, the child in Kaguya's womb would be the future Sage of Six Paths.

It was quite a wonder to think about.

In the main body's ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths was an absolute great figure to him.

But in this world now, the Sage of Six Paths was his future child.

Some things were just so subtle, giving one an indescribable feeling.

Nanchuan You sighed inwardly, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Time continued to pass, flowing slowly onward.

In the second year, Kaguya officially began labor.

After one night, she gave birth to two male infants.

Following the naming rules of the Otsutsuki Clan, she named the two children Hagoromo and Hamura respectively.

These were the future Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Hamura.

When the two children were born, Nanchuan You observed them for a while.

As the future Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo's eyes were ordinary eyes, not the Rinnegan.

This differed from what was recorded in the orthodox story, further proving Nanchuan You's speculation about parallel timelines.

Because in the orthodox storyline, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Rinnegan should have been innate.

The reason for this difference might be that in the orthodox storyline, the Sage of Six Paths was conceived solely by Otsutsuki Kaguya, being of pure Otsutsuki bloodline.

In this world, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was born from him and Kaguya, possessing mortal blood within him, thus causing this change.

As for Hamura, he inherited Kaguya's Byakugan.

The potential within both children was immense.

Originally, because they had a mortal father like him, the bloodline of these two children should have been somewhat diluted.

But because Kaguya had consumed the Chakra Fruit while conceiving them, they benefited from it as well, each gaining immense potential.

Though they appeared unremarkable at the moment, the potential within their bodies was vast—once fully developed, it would be no weaker than the direct lineage of the Otsutsuki Main Family.

"Each of these children has inherited a part of my abilities."

Before him, Kaguya gazed at the two children, then spoke.

Both Hagoromo and Hamura had inherited the pure Otsutsuki bloodline from Kaguya, born as innate Otsutsuki.

But the abilities they inherited from Kaguya differed.

As the elder brother, Hagoromo inherited more of the power within Kaguya that came from the Chakra Fruit, so his Byakugan would remain hidden, and in the future, he had a high chance of awakening the Rinnegan.

As the younger brother, Hamura inherited the pure Otsutsuki bloodline from Otsutsuki Kaguya, so he was born with the Byakugan, and in the future, he might take it a step further, evolving into the extremely rare Tenseigan within the Otsutsuki Clan.

"You've worked hard."

Setting the two children down, Nanchuan You walked over to Kaguya and pulled her into his embrace.

The two of them savored this moment of peace, quietly settling into it.

In the days that followed, time passed slowly.

After the birth of the Hagoromo brothers, the entire Land of Ancestors celebrated.

Festivals were held across the land, rejoicing that the king now had heirs.

In the blink of an eye, another decade or so passed.

The Hamura brothers began to grow up.

As time went on, their bodies matured, and their power advanced far beyond ordinary people.

Because they possessed the Otsutsuki bloodline, even without actively training or studying, their strength grew day by day, giving them a natural advantage over others.

And unlike their mother Kaguya, as children of Nanchuan You, they were eager to learn and worked hard.

With innate talent surpassing the norm and their own diligence, their growth was swift.

In just over a decade, they became strong by worldly standards.

Within the entire Land of Ancestors, aside from a few like Kaguya, no one could match them.

One day, they came to the royal palace in the capital of the Land of Ancestors and found Nanchuan You.

"You want to go out and train?"

In the palace, Nanchuan You was still handling state affairs. Hearing the news from the two Hamura brothers, he looked up in surprise.

"Yes, Father."

Before Nanchuan You, the Hagoromo brothers showed great respect.

"You once said that everything needs practice to have meaning. We've studied in the palace for many years and feel it's time to see the world."

Hagoromo spoke loudly, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Compared to him, his younger brother Hamura was more composed, but he shared the same intention.
