Seeing Hakuto's Rinnegan emerge, Anya drew the Blade of Indifference and slit her palm. Crimson blood flowed along the runes, visibly pouring endless vitality into Hakuto's body. Eventually, powerful waves converged repeatedly on the Rinnegan.
Hakuto's eyes blazed with radiant light. The searing sensation made her cry out involuntarily, "Dad, my eyes hurt so much!"
"Bear with it. It'll be over soon."
Anya's Mangekyō Sharingan flared to life as she fixed her gaze on Hakuto's Rinnegan. At the first sign of trouble, she'd be ready to unleash her Time Reversal ability.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Transformation Technique silently activated. Within her body, dark souls gathered, compressed, and traveled through her blood toward the Rinnegan.
Anya's plan was to use her abundant vitality to stabilize Hakuto's body, then amplify the Rinnegan's ocular power to its maximum. By testing the Rinnegan through three methods—ocular power, life energy, and soul strength—she could examine it and draw forth its original power, determining whether this pair of eyes had ever been tampered with.
Just as her Dark Soul was about to touch the Rinnegan, the soul energy abruptly vanished, reappearing in a mysterious space.
A single drop echoed. Standing still, Anya's dark soul understood immediately, "As expected, my guess wasn't wrong."
"What a truly dark soul," came a sigh.
Anya turned toward the source of the voice, cutting straight to the point, "Six Paths Sage?"
A figure hovered midair, holding a black staff in hand, with a row of black orbs circling beneath his knees. He responded to Anya, "I am the embodiment of peace and order—I am Hagoromo. The mortal world now feels immeasurably distant from my era. I wonder if the name people passed down matches what I'd give. However, you clearly know who I am, so calling me that isn't wrong."
"Hagoromo. I remember that name. You must be the alien spoken of by the White Snake Sage." Anya's soul clearly saw his Rinnegan and overwhelming spiritual power. There was no doubt—the man before her was absolutely the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Thus, Hakuto's Rinnegan finally made sense.
"Way too far-fetched. An alien? Ha, not entirely off," Hagoromo couldn't help chuckling.
Anya's expression remained grim, without the slightest hint of humor. "Why is your chakra inside my daughter's eyes, Hagoromo? Give me a full account. Now."
Under Hagoromo's serious demeanor, his tone revealed helplessness: "Uh, just met and already threatened. Kids these days really are something else. After all, I personally laid the foundation for what would become the ninja way…"
Anya coldly interrupted, "Last warning—answer my question. I don't have the habit of listening to nonsense."
Hagoromo pressed his staff against the ground. An invisible ripple of spiritual energy appeared, revealing two figures on the water's surface—one was Hakuto; the other was a younger Hagoromo.
"My apologies, but this isn't something I can control. From the soul resonance perspective, your daughter should be my reincarnation. I suppose her bloodline and talent attracted my chakra drifting across realms, causing this situation. That's why she awakened the Rinnegan same as me."
Anya frowned slightly at this explanation, unsure whether to believe it or not. After a moment of silence, he said, "How do we remove your chakra from Hakuto's body? I have no intention of becoming your father."
Hagoromo almost choked hearing that statement. He'd suddenly gained a father out of nowhere, and this father actually resented him.
After thinking for a while, Hagoromo shook his head. "I don't know either. If it was before she awakened the Rinnegan, there might have been a solution. But now that Hakuto has been stimulated into awakening the Rinnegan, our chakras have completely fused together."
A flash of killing intent flashed in Anya's eyes as he coldly ordered, "Then figure it out. If not, I'll dismantle your cursed Ninja Sect you founded—piece by piece."
Hagoromo forced out a bitter smile. "Your personality and strength really resemble my mother, the Rabbit Goddess. Your actions are similar too. You only want to destroy the Ninja Sect, while she sought to destroy the entire world."
He exhaled heavily before continuing, "I've been dead for a long time. My lingering chakra won't harm Hakuto—in fact, she will grow stronger. Can you tell me why you resist this so much?"
Unaffected by his words, Anya replied flatly, "I only trust my own strength. I always doubt power given by others. Plus, the fact that your consciousness is here already explains enough. I don't want any foreign powers interfering with my daughter."
"Well then, I understand." Hagoromo closed his eyes in thought before saying, "There's only one person in the world capable of separating my chakra—Chakra's ancestor herself, my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. But even knowing this, you couldn't accomplish it. Besides, my mother has already been sealed away by my brother and me."
Anya spoke coldly, "There's a way, then. The rest is none of your concern."
A chill ran through Hagoromo's heart as his expression turned tense. "You're not seriously considering..."
"Silence."
Without another word, Anya unleashed his powerful soul force, instantly imprinting the [Moon in the Well] Sealing Technique directly onto Hagoromo's forehead. When it came to soul-force confrontation, Anya feared no one—not even the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
A crescent moon formed on Hagoromo's brow. His soul flickered like a phantom, teetering on the edge of vanishing entirely. Summoning his last ounce of strength, he said, "Child, don't do anything foolish. If my mother Kaguya returns, everyone will perish. This world will end."
Seeing that Hagoromo had been successfully suppressed by his sealing technique, Anya exhaled in relief and dispelled his [Spirit Transformation Technique].
Outside, Hakuto's glowing Rinnegan transformed into Sharingan, and a beautiful crescent moon mark appeared upon her forehead, making her already beautiful face appear even more ethereal.
Hakuto rubbed her eyes. The burning pain from just a moment ago was gone, replaced by a refreshing coolness that cleared her head and made everything look crisper.
She let out softly, "What just happened to me?"
"Just a minor thing," Anya reassured with a smile. "I've already taken care of it."
Hakuto took Anya's hand and said, "Dad, please don't fight with Sister Tsunade anymore, okay? Earlier I sensed you two were about to attack each other, and it scared me to death."
"It was my mistake," Anya apologized. "Don't worry, I'll talk things through with her and clear up this misunderstanding. This won't happen again."
Hakuto threw her arms around Anya's neck joyfully. "Dad, I knew you'd understand! You're the greatest!"
Anya gently stroked Hakuto's hair, feeling a deep warmth in his heart.
