Hamura Otsutsuki's gaze settled on Hinata, carrying a trace of solemnity. "Child, are you willing?"
Nearly ten minutes later, Xuan Zhe looked at Hinata again and muttered with a frown, "Why does it feel like nothing's changed?"
Compared to when Naruto and Sasuke met the Sage of Six Paths, instantly unlocking Six Paths Mode and sprouting a tomoe Rinnegan, the difference was far too great.
"She's too young right now. She needs to absorb the power slowly before she can fully activate it." As Hamura Otsutsuki spoke, a faint glow began to spread over his body.
He looked just like someone summoned through Impure World Reincarnation when the technique was released.
He was about to return to the Pure Land of Bliss.
"Um... th-thank you!" Hinata was so nervous that she stammered.
"Don't let the world my elder brother created be destroyed, young heirs of ninshu."
Hamura Otsutsuki's figure gradually became transparent as the last traces of chakra he had left in the human world dissipated.
"Though I'm not particularly fond of you brothers, I can promise you that-I quite like this world. I won't let it go under." Xuan Zhe smiled.
"Heh... an impertinent youngster."
Hamura Otsutsuki shook his head gently.
Then his entire body rose into the air and vanished completely.
The mental space before Xuan Zhe and Hinata shattered along with him.
When they opened their eyes again, it was already late at night in the real world.
Xuan Zhe glanced down at Otsutsuki Toneri beneath his feet and considered, This guy has Hamura's direct bloodline. He might come in handy later.
"Summoning Technique!"
He slapped his palm against the ground.
A cloud of white smoke burst forth.
What appeared was a little husky that looked barely three months old.
"Woof!"
The next second, something unexpected happened.
