"There's no way around it. Maintaining the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan takes a tremendous amount of chakra.
It'll take much longer than sustaining the Rinnegan alone."
Otsutsuki Yuhao stood atop the cliff, gazing into the distance. His eyes shimmered with a profound light, their unique colors a blend of the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan.
His body trembled slightly in the wind, as if it might be swept away at any moment, but his eyes remained as steadfast as the stars, untouched by the gusts.
These eyes were powers he had inherited from the ancient legends of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. They held endless mysteries and strength.
Otsutsuki Yuhao closed his eyes and felt the chakra flowing through his body.
It was a wondrous sensation, as though his soul were connected to the universe, allowing him to sense everything around him.
"The Rinnegan and the Tenseigan?"
"So this is the power of our ancestors!"
Uchiha Sasuke was astonished by Otsutsuki Yuhao's words.
If the Sage of Six Paths hadn't given him Six Paths Power, he probably would've been like Madara, awakening the Rinnegan only in his old age.
But even now, he had only one Rinnegan.
Otsutsuki Yuhao wasn't as simple as Uchiha Sasuke imagined, either.
Although he was a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki,
and his Mangekyō Sharingan was a higher grade than Otsutsuki Hagoromo's, the grade didn't mean that his power was greater. It only meant that, at the same stage, his ocular power was greater than that of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Mangekyō Sharingan.
There wasn't much difference between their ocular techniques.
For example, the difference between the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was simply that the latter had greater ocular power and thus greater strength.
After all, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was still a Mangekyō Sharingan; the Mangekyō Sharingan was simply what the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan became after it regressed.
"The Rinnegan? I heard my father's Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan because of Uncle Hamura's death.
After experiencing intense negative emotions, such as witnessing the death of someone you deeply loved, special chakra would form in your mind, allowing you to awaken the Rinnegan.
But Uncle Yuhao's awakening of the Rinnegan seems to have happened differently."
Indra kept his eyes fixed on Otsutsuki Yuhao's Rinnegan.
"I see. So Otsutsuki Urashiki planned to use the Space-Time Artifact Karasuki to travel back to the era when Naruto, a descendant of Asura, was a child?
But you two fought inside the time tunnel and caused an error, bringing you to our era."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Boruto calmly.
"Yeah!"
Uchiha Sasuke nodded.
"Haha, so that means I'm your ancestor, Boruto!"
Asura gave Uzumaki Boruto a warm, auntie-like smile.
"A-Ancestor... It's one thing that you look like my dad, but why is your personality just like his too?"
Uzumaki Boruto looked at Asura helplessly.
Asura was still rubbing the back of Uzumaki Boruto's head.
"Haha, really?"
"I can't believe that, a thousand years later, one of my descendants would still look so much like me. I guess I've got some pretty strong genes."
Asura laughed heartily.
"Fine, I take back what I just said.
My dad doesn't laugh as foolishly as you do. You're more like the First Hokage."
Uzumaki Boruto said, exasperated.
"Oh? Who's the First Hokage? Is he one of my descendants?"
Asura asked curiously.
"I think so. I heard that the Senju are close relatives of the Uzumaki Clan.
So they should share the same ancestor as us.
But are you sure Grandpa Six Paths didn't have a third child?"
Uzumaki Boruto asked.
"I'm sure he didn't. My father had only me and my brother.
He didn't have any illegitimate children, did he?"
Asura said, sounding uncertain.
Smack!
"Ow! Father, why'd you hit me?"
Asura looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo in confusion.
"Foolish boy, don't worry. Your old man here has only two precious sons: you and Indra.
So don't go spouting nonsense in front of your descendants."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo said with exasperation.
"Why is Naruto's ancestor so much like Naruto?
He's just as foolish. It looks like even a thousand years later, that foolishness was still passed down."
Watching Boruto and Asura talk, Uchiha Sasuke thought to himself.
"The future I saw with my Rinnegan showed Urashiki arriving here in three days.
We need to prepare in advance. His Space-Time Ninjutsu lets him leave at any time.
It won't be easy to keep him here!"
Otsutsuki Yuhao said seriously.
[Heavenly Mechanism Technique]
This was a new ocular technique of Otsutsuki Yuhao's Rinnegan. It allowed him to see past, present, and future scenes that might be disadvantageous to him.
