The instant they stepped into the Hamura Shrine, Susanoo automatically faded away.
Not only that, Sasuke felt his chakra being suppressed to a considerable degree!
"This shrine... really does reject any power other than Hamura's chakra!"
He looked at Hinata... Deep within her pure white eyes... a light was reflected.
That light came from the Giant Tenseigan... enshrined at the far end of the shrine!
Many faces, young and old, appeared on either side of the passage. At their head stood the elderly Hamura, leading his clansmen as they all turned their gazes toward the two newcomers.
"Can you see them?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes." Hinata nodded, looking a little nervous.
The memories Sasuke had shown through Infinite Tsukuyomi had included this part as well, but memories were ultimately based on personal experience. In his previous life, Sasuke had never gone to the moon to fight Toneri. His knowledge of the incident came from Naruto's account, which he had then rendered into images through his imagination, so some inaccuracies were inevitable.
Now, however... he was truly experiencing it firsthand!
Moreover, Sasuke was seeing a scene that Naruto had never witnessed in his previous life.
The key was not that he was stronger than Naruto, but that... beneath his Rinnegan lay the power of the Byakugan.
The elderly Hamura turned his gaze toward him.
Sasuke shifted his eyes to meet it.
Although they had never met, Hamura's eyes, which had seen so much of the world, had already discerned many things!
"I see... Cause and effect have undergone such an enormous change! Even the older brother I took such pride in has been reduced to this."
Sasuke said, "The wheels of time keep rolling forward. They won't stop for an old man who clings to the past, however much he once contributed.
