Rinka admitted that she still had a slight fondness for Kazuki. At least from her perspective, Kazuki was different.
Before, she didn't have that feeling, but this time, she felt that Kazuki seemed to have become different from others. Her body seemed to crave Kazuki, as if he possessed something she needed.
Rinka forcibly suppressed her impulse, but still looked at Kazuki curiously.
Could it be that Kazuki was truly the successor of the Six Paths Sage?
No, to be precise, was he the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?
Otherwise, why would Kazuki awaken the Rinnegan?
Logically speaking, the Uchiha should only have the Sharingan, and even if it mutated, it would be the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Before, there were many people in the village who were curious as to why Kazuki, despite being so strong, hadn't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan like other powerful Uchiha.
Now, it was fine. Although Kazuki hadn't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had awakened the Rinnegan.
"Your eyes…" Mikoto opened her mouth and spoke.
She had previously heard some remarks from Kazuki regarding the Uchiha Clan the Senju clan. The two clans, who fought fiercely during the Sengoku era, were actually descendants of two brothers, and their struggle was merely over the inheritance and recognition of Ninshu. And their father was the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
"Uh! I just had a breakthrough." Kazuki covered his eyes, successfully retracting the Rinnegan and returning to his original appearance.
"Breakthrough?" Mikoto's eyelid twitched.
Sure enough, Kazuki was different, he had even awakened the Rinnegan. If grandpa and grandma Mito knew about his situation, they would probably die with a smile, wouldn't they?
"Yes, this counts as a breakthrough." Kazuki rubbed his eyes, then softly cautioned the two. "Don't speak of the Rinnegan for now."
"Why? You should be invincible in the Ninja World now, shouldn't you?" Rinka frowned.
She realized that she wasn't entirely without feelings for Kazuki. But ultimately, she was from the Hyuga clan, even if she was the main family's young lady, she couldn't let him act recklessly.
Those old fuddy-duddies of the Hyuga clan would not allow the Hyuga bloodline to flow outside, especially to an Uchiha.
Unless the other party was the Hokage or something, even then it wouldn't be easy, and besides, there were still Mikoto and Kushina.
Rinka felt it would be difficult to compete with them, not because her bloodline, talent or looks were inferior, but because she couldn't be like them.
But if Kazuki became truly invincible in the Ninja World, then the situation would change. Even the Hyuga clan would choose to befriend Kazuki.
At least if she followed Kazuki, her family wouldn't have much to say, after all, that was the Rinnegan.
The second Sage of Six Paths in the Ninja World.
Rinka had heard before that the Hyuga clan's inheritance might have come from the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother.
If that were truly the case, then their Hyuga and the Uchiha clan were actually relatives, so it wouldn't count as an outflow of bloodline, right?
"Invincible?" Kazuki's gaze deepened.
"My strength is indeed quite good, but it hasn't reached the point of being invincible. There are still many people stronger than me. Moreover, I can clearly feel that I still have room for improvement."
After all, he was only a teenager Ōtsutsuki. His current talent had probably surpassed Hagoromo by a long shot, as he not only possessed Indra Chakra but also Asura's physique, and now had fused with the pure physique of the Ōtsutsuki from the moon. It seemed quite normal for his physique to have surpassed Hagoromo's.
"There are still many stronger than you?" Rinka 's eyelid twitched.
Kazuki was already very powerful, leading them in and out of the Land of Water numerous times.
Even when a large number of ninjas from Kirigakure came to encircle them, Kazuki easily broke through and killed his way out.
Moreover, Rinka could clearly feel that Kazuki hadn't used his full strength yet, and even the legendary power of the Hyuga clan might not be a match for Kazuki.
Now, he had awakened the Rinnegan, and his strength had probably increased tremendously. This was a bit too terrifying.
"The Ninja World is much larger than you imagine. Even the former Hashirama was only the strongest on the surface, the true powerhouses haven't made their move yet."
Then, Kazuki said to the two with profound meaning, "And the matter of Hashirama and Madara might very well be a part of destiny."
Mikoto and Rinka exchanged glances upon hearing this. What did he mean?
As for the First Hokage and Madara, having trained under Mito for a long time, they naturally knew about the love-hate relationship between Madara and Hashirama.
The two had reconciled to establish Konoha, then Madara betrayed Konoha and fought a great battle with Hashirama, ultimately leading to Hashirama's premature death. If it was truly destiny, then it was too tragic.
Moreover, one must know that the strength of Hashirama and Madara was unparalleled in the Ninja World at that time. Kazuki even joked that with Susanoo combined with True Several Thousand Hands, the two could destroy four nations.
Mito had also heard this statement at the time. Mito's expression was incredibly subtle, merely telling Kazuki not to talk nonsense, saying that Hashirama wouldn't do such a thing, but she didn't say that the two couldn't achieve this feat.
It was clear that with Susanoo combined with True Several Thousand Hands, they truly could destroy four nations.
As for why it was four nations and not more countries?
Well, that's because there are only five Great Nations in the Ninja World, and small countries don't even have the power to resist, and one of the Great Nations is the Land of Fire.
But if even their destinies were controlled, what about them? What about Kazuki?
"So, before I truly grow up, I don't want to expose my real strength. Of course, if I really encounter danger, I won't truly hold back." Kazuki showed a confident smile.
"What needs to be done now is to help you two get stronger. Your talents are good, and your futures won't be too bad."
Kazuki wasn't bragging. He was confident in his ability to help them get stronger, even if Kushina were included.
