CHAPTER 65

In the final analysis, when recalling the events of the original work, it was the Sage of Six Paths himself—Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki—who was the first to awaken the Rinnegan. However, contrary to some legends, it was not the act of killing his brother Hamura that triggered it. Instead, it was the immense power he inherited from both his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's chakra and the Ten Tails, coupled with his natural awakening of profound emotional and spiritual understanding, that gradually led his evolved Sharingan into the Rinnegan.

Of course, there's no denying that the Sage of Six Paths possessed an overwhelmingly strong Ōtsutsuki bloodline, yet the process of his evolution from Sharingan to Rinnegan bears conceptual similarities to the Mangekyō Sharingan's awakening—both tied to intense emotional resonance and spiritual growth.

In contrast, the Rinnegan awakenings of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke diverge significantly. Madara acquired Hashirama Senju's cells and awakened the Rinnegan only decades later, near the end of his natural life, making it a synthetic evolution rather than a purely emotional or spiritual one. Sasuke, on the other hand, had his Rinnegan directly granted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki during the Fourth Great Ninja War. In both cases, the Rinnegan was not self-achieved through personal enlightenment or pain, but enabled by external intervention.

In other words, their Rinnegan was not a natural result of inner evolution, but rather a "permission-based" activation facilitated by the Sage of Six Paths himself.

With this in mind, if Uchiha Yue were to follow Uchiha Madara's method—merging Indra and Asura's chakra through external grafting—it might prove completely ineffective for him. Worse, it could attract the attention or intervention of the Sage of Six Paths, since Yue is neither a reincarnation of Indra nor Asura. His very existence, as someone from outside the cycle, could severely disrupt Hagoromo's carefully maintained balance.

Therefore, to avoid interference or dependence on any ancient forces, the safest route for Yue is to elevate his own bloodline to a level comparable to the Sage of Six Paths himself. Once that's achieved, he can awaken the Rinnegan independently through profound emotional stimulation, ensuring his sovereignty over the process and preventing any external tampering.

Moreover, when one activates the Rinnegan autonomously, it evolves unique ocular techniques based on individual spiritual resonance—such as Madara's Limbo: Border Jail and Sasuke's Amenotejikara.

Thus, if Yue personally guides and manifests his Rinnegan, it could lead to an exclusive, cheat-level ability tailored to his nature and power system.

With these reflections, Yue's previous consideration of using Madara's route to awaken the Rinnegan vanished entirely, replaced by a self-devised method for obtaining his own version of the Eye of Samsara.

And if his theory proves accurate, a broader, even more extraordinary future awaits him.

"Perfect," Yue murmured, his heart calm but resolute. "My next cultivation path is set. First, I must fully complete the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, then awaken a Rinnegan that belongs solely to me—thus crafting a new plug-in ability."

"During this time, I can also assimilate unique Kekkei Genkai like those from the Kurama clan to further enrich my heritage."

"In my spare time, I'll experiment with multi-attribute chakra fusion, seeing whether I can comprehend Bloodline Limit or even Bloodline Net independently."

After all, while all known Kekkei Mōra in the original work trace back to the God Tree, Yue—armed with future knowledge and unshackled creativity—doesn't believe anything is absolute.

The reason others fail is not due to impossibility, but limited vision and insufficient ability.

Even within the ninja world, some geniuses have successfully combined two chakra natures to awaken a Kekkei Genkai. Others, like Ōnoki, went a step further, fusing three types to create Jinton: Particle Style, a Bloodline Elimination ability that surpasses standard limits.

So then, why can't Uchiha Yue, backed by his Illusory World and cheat-level growth, fuse four chakra natures to birth a power greater than Bloodline Elimination?

Following this train of thought, once he successfully fuses all seven basic chakra attributes, wouldn't it be logical to name it Bloodline Net, or Kekkei Mōra, just like Kaguya or Hagoromo?

The theory is sound—but actualizing it would be exponentially difficult.

After all, while there are dozens of known Kekkei Genkai in the shinobi world, only one known Bloodline Elimination exists.

Fusing three chakra types already requires elite aptitude—scaling that to seven demands an unprecedented level of talent and chakra control.

Perhaps this is why even the Ōtsutsuki rely on planting Divine Trees and consuming Chakra Fruit to shortcut their evolution, rather than achieving Kekkei Mōra through self-cultivation.

Nevertheless, Yue remains confident in his abilities.

Within his Illusory World, time dilation and reality manipulation give him a sandbox of omnipotence.

So as long as he is determined and patient, surpassing Bloodline Elimination—and even achieving the mythical Bloodline Net—is not impossible.

Still, the process of merging seven attributes will take vast amounts of time, even with cheat-like conditions.

In contrast, devouring and assimilating existing Ōtsutsuki cells would dramatically accelerate the process.

Therefore, while personal research will continue, Yue's priority is still acquiring top-tier Ōtsutsuki blood.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

With no hesitation, Yue focused wind-nature chakra into his fingers, forming a seal and slamming his hand onto the ground.

Bang!

A small puff of smoke erupted as a slender snake materialized before him.

"Deliver this scroll to Orochimaru," Yue instructed, tossing the scroll toward the serpent.

Understanding the command, the snake caught it, swallowed it whole, and disappeared with another puff of smoke.

"Good. Summoning Technique success confirmed."

Yue's eyes glinted. The Summoning Technique was something he mastered in just two days, and thanks to Orochimaru, he had signed a contract with the serpents of Ryūchi Cave.

As for the scroll, it contained a directive: Orochimaru was to acquire the cells of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who once consumed the Nine-Tails' flesh and gained pseudo-jinchūriki powers, as well as Uzumaki clan genetic material.

He even included intelligence on Uzumaki Karin and the lesser-known Uzumaki Kasho of Kusagakure, gleaned from memory and deductions.

Given Orochimaru's skill and network, Yue trusted that the task would be completed flawlessly.

"With Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Uzumaki cells secured by Orochimaru, what's left are the Hyūga and Moon Ōtsutsuki."

"Getting Hyūga cells is easier—Konoha is filled with them. But the Moon Ōtsutsuki… their location remains elusive."

"I don't recall exactly where the spatial gate to the moon was in the original story…"

He frowned, the memory hazy. The portal used by Toneri's clan in The Last: Naruto the Movie had no clear coordinates.

"In that case, Orochimaru can handle it. He's proven effective at unearthing obscure relics and secrets."

Besides, Yue was aware that even with his reincarnated memories, he couldn't retain every minor plot detail.

"Come to think of it, the Hyūga are technically descended from the Moon's Ōtsutsuki—Hamura's lineage. Their bloodline is just diluted."

"And Hinata herself was called the 'Byakugan Princess'—a title recognized by Hamura's soul on the moon."

"If I were to assimilate Hinata's genetic material, the result might rival even pure Moon Ōtsutsuki cells."

"In that case, I might not even need direct access to the lunar Ōtsutsuki."
