Warring States Period 3 [A Thousand Years Later]

"Asura is right; that guy truly possesses the Rinnegan and the Byakugan.

He is an enemy of my mother, and an enemy of your grandmother as well.

If you happen to encounter him, it would be best to be careful.

His name is Otsutsuki Isshiki, and he is currently parasitizing a monk named Jigen.

His Rinnegan abilities are Sukunahikona and Daikokuten.

[Sukunahikona] allows him to shrink anything he can see.

However, he cannot shrink other living beings besides himself; naturally, restoring them to their original size is also instantaneous.

As for [Daikokuten]: he can store shrunken objects in a dimension where time is frozen, and he can summon them from that space instantly at any time.

Given the strength of you two, if you encounter him alone, you will lose miserably; if you join forces, you should have a chance to barely fight to a draw."

Currently, the strength of both Asura and Indra is at the second stage of the Six Paths Realm, with cultivation at the Golden Core Realm.

It is now over a thousand years in the past, and Otsutsuki Yuhao does not know what will happen in the future, so there are some things he must warn Asura and Indra about.

"Another alien Otsutsuki? I really don't know how many planets' worth of chakra they have absorbed; every single one of them is so powerful," Asura remarked with a sigh.

"Hmph, they are merely Six Paths Realm practitioners through external means. With the same power, I would slaughter them like dogs," Indra snorted coldly.

"However, that guy was wounded by me!"

"The chances of you two meeting him are likely very low, right?" Otsutsuki Yuhao said to them.

"Whatever," Indra said coldly. His body slowly rose, using the force of Wind Release to fly into the sky, and finally, his figure vanished.

After his Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan, Indra had mastered all elemental ninjutsu.

Once his strength reached its limit, Indra began to cultivate other elemental chakras.

"Indra's changes over these years have truly become greater and greater," Otsutsuki Yuhao said, watching Indra's indifferent demeanor.

"Sigh, it must be because he saw his wife pass away that he became like this," Asura said with some sadness, as he also thought of his own wife.

Otsutsuki Yuhao is 100 years old, and Asura and Indra are both 88.

In this world, it is rare for people to live to an average age of fifty or sixty, and it is even rarer for someone like Indra's wife to live until eighty before passing away.

Through Otsutsuki Yuhao's research, the limit for an ordinary person's lifespan in this world is 100 years, but most people do not live that long.

This is because, during that process, special reasons such as illness, injury, or extreme fatigue cause their lifespans to decrease.

By the later era of Naruto, the average lifespan of people became even shorter, with most dying in their thirties or forties.

Sea Realm, Year 200.

A hundred years later, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura lived to be 200 years old and eventually died, yet they did not truly die, for their souls remained; both treated the Pure Land as their home.

When they first died, Otsutsuki Yuhao had thought about reconstructing their physical bodies to resurrect the two brothers, but he was refused by them.

Because the two had discovered a "new world," they began to enter and exit the Pure Land in their soul states, coming and going as they pleased.

Only then did Otsutsuki Yuhao realize that his two older brothers had actually had ideas about the Pure Land for a long time, and given their strength, they could have been resurrected at any time; they simply did not want to.

As for why Otsutsuki Yuhao did not pass his Imperial Golden Core cultivation method to his two brothers, he had actually offered, but was refused.

Neither of them wanted to cultivate Otsutsuki Yuhao's Sage Art, as both wanted to forge their own paths.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura were too proud; neither wanted to lose to their younger brother. As a result, they both kicked the bucket, but after their deaths, they discovered the Pure Land and began to focus their attention on it, as if they had found their own path.

Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Yuhao's wife, Tanshou, eventually passed away.

As an ordinary person, living to three hundred years old was already the limit; in the end, she could not hold on any longer and died in Otsutsuki Yuhao's arms.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's children, Wantuluo and Wanhualuo, also began a death-seclusion, hoping to live another hundred years by breaking through the Golden Core Realm.

The chairman of the Sage Art Kingdom had also changed seven or eight times.

Sea Realm, Year 300. Indra and Asura ultimately failed to break through to the White Golden Core Realm and died at the age of 300.

In the end, the chakra of both began their reincarnations in the Ninja World.

Sea Realm, Year 400.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's Rinne Sharingan evolved into the Seven-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

He awakened a new ability.

[Flying Thunder Might World]

The laws of heaven and earth within were entirely under the control of Otsutsuki Yuhao.

Time inside was frozen, much like the Daikokuten space of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

The difference was that the Flying Thunder Might World was a complete world; Otsutsuki Yuhao could control the flow of time within it, meaning that even if a living person entered, their body would not be immobilized as if sealed.

Wantuluo and Wanhualuo were currently cultivating inside.

In the 500th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao's Tenseigan evolved into a deep blue Tenseigan, its ocular power roughly on par with the Seven-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

In the 600th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao's ninjutsu and taijutsu both reached the sixth stage of the Six Paths.

In the 700th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao's senjutsu reached the sixth stage.

In the 800th year of the Sea Realm, Wantuluo and Wanhualuo finally broke through to the White Golden Core Realm.

In the 900th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao fused his two Tenseigans together; while the eyes themselves did not change, their ocular power became even more formidable, surpassing the Rinnegan.

In the 1000th year of the Sea Realm.

Otsutsuki Yuhao was already 1020 years old, which meant he only had 380 years of lifespan remaining, and his cultivation realm was still at the Black Golden Core Realm.

In the 1100th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao's Rinnegan successfully evolved into an Eight-Tomoe, though he chose not to fuse the Rinnegan into a single eye.

In the 1200th year of the Sea Realm, Otsutsuki Yuhao's Black Golden Core began to loosen, as if it were on the verge of a breakthrough.

In the 1300th year of the Sea Realm.

Otsutsuki Yuhao sat cross-legged in the center of the ocean, absorbing the natural energy within the sea.

Do not be fooled by the fact that the ocean is entirely water; in reality, the natural energy of the sea is far greater than that of the land, primarily because the ocean is vast enough.

Golden light began to radiate from Otsutsuki Yuhao's entire body, and the billions of cells within him began to frantically absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

Otsutsuki Yuhao, who had previously appeared as a middle-aged man in his forties, now began to slowly grow younger.

The black-gold core within his dantian also began to grow, surging from its previous five-centimeter size to ten centimeters, then eleven, twelve... finally reaching a diameter of twenty centimeters.

This Black Golden Core was like a black hole, frantically devouring the surrounding energy, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around Otsutsuki Yuhao to be seemingly drained dry, forming a brief vacuum zone.

As the Golden Core grew, Otsutsuki Yuhao's aura climbed steadily.

His already unfathomable chakra energy reached a brand-new height at this moment.

At the same time, Otsutsuki Yuhao's body was undergoing subtle changes. His skin became firmer, and his muscle lines became fluid and powerful, as if they contained infinite strength. His hair and eyebrows grew thicker, shimmering with a faint golden light, giving him a majestic and sacred air.

Otsutsuki Yuhao took a deep breath, as if he intended to inhale the energy of the entire world into his body.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with a dazzling radiance. He felt that his power had reached an unprecedented height, as if he could easily destroy everything.

However, he did not become complacent because of this.

He knew that this was merely a small step on his path of cultivation. He still had a longer road to travel and higher mountains to climb.

Thus, Otsutsuki Yuhao closed his eyes once more and began a new round of cultivation. His figure flickered in and out of the golden light, as if he had merged into one with the entire world.
