The elders knew the secrets of the Ogami Clan, but the newcomers had no clue. Hearing Nagato's revelations, their minds naturally began to race.
Nagato understood their surprise and gave them some time to process the information.
Once everyone had calmed down, he began explaining the clan's rules, benefits, and other essential details.
After covering the basics, Nagato imparted their secret art teachings to the new members.
These methods, along with the clan's vast knowledge, had been thoroughly developed by Asahi and passed on to Nagato.
When all the instructions were given and the new members were settled, Nagato finally sighed in relief.
As he sat on his cushion, the grand hall now empty, a heavy sense of responsibility settled on him.
The entrance ceremony of the Ogami Clan had concluded, and the ninja world seemed to return to a state of calm.
Ninjas continued their various missions, and civilians worked hard to support their families.
The only noticeable change was the increased tavern chatter, fueled by the recent events.
However, only the members of the Ogami Clan truly understood the significant transformations occurring in the ninja world.
Following Nagato's rise, nearly all the second-generation disciples in the ninja world reached the Six Paths level.
No one knew what kind of impact their collective power would have, as it was beyond imagination.
Even the unintentional release of their aura made it hard for others to breathe.
It was said that if these individuals gathered together, they could potentially destroy the entire ninja world.
Although only a few third-generation disciples reached the Six Paths level, all experienced significant power boosts.
Thus, the strength of the Ogami Clan ascended another tier. For the clan members, Asahi, their leader, became increasingly elusive.
Once seen occasionally, he was now almost never visible.
Even his regular teachings were handed over to the disciples who had broken through to the Six Paths level.
This way of life continued for three years. During this time, what was Asahi doing?
Apart from guiding the Six Paths-level disciples in their training, Asahi dedicated himself entirely to his own cultivation.
He had sensed that he was on the brink of a breakthrough, which drove his deep immersion in training.
After three years, Asahi, who had been in continuous trained, suddenly opened his eyes.
During this time, he had been exploring the final step toward his breakthrough.
Initially, he thought he had been pursuing the wrong direction, causing his stagnation.
However, just moments ago, a memory concerning the Dragon Vein and Naruto resurfaced in his mind.
This memory had been self-sealed, so even as his power grew, he hadn't noticed it. Only when the seal failed did he recall these events.
With the memory restored, the bottleneck that had troubled Asahi for three years was effortlessly shattered.
He laughed wryly, realizing that he had been his own obstacle.
The seal in his mind prevented completeness, and combined with the constraints of the Ninja world's power ceiling, he had been unable to break through.
Fortunately, the seal was designed to automatically release after a set period.
If it had been permanent, who knows when he would have realized the issue?Considering it this way, Naruto's journey to the Dragon Vein has concluded.
Asahi wonder how he's doing now. Kakashi and Shisui probably wouldn't let him off so easily. Oh, right, there's also Yamato.
Thinking of this, Asahi couldn't help but smile. As they say, karma catches up with everyone eventually. And indeed, it did.
Naruto and Yamato's current lives... well, it's complicated. However, now isn't the time to be amused by their predicaments.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Asahi released the Ten Tails.
As the seal broke, the enormous form of the Ten Tails suddenly appeared on the island of the Ogami Clan.
At this moment, everyone in the clan stared in astonishment at the colossal creature.
Only Nagato, who had some understanding of the Ten Tails, showed a reluctant expression. Was his master planning to leave the ninja world?
The Ten Tails, having been sealed for so long, roared furiously at Asahi upon its release. It had no consciousness, driven solely by the desire to destroy.
It didn't care whether it could defeat Asahi or not.
Even though it had been easily sealed by him before, the chaotic mind of the Ten Tails couldn't remember who Asahi was.
Seeing the Ten Tails acting out, Asahi wasn't about to indulge its bad behavior.
He casually reached out, and an immense pressure bore down on the Ten Tails.
It immediately collapsed to the ground, struggling in vain to stand. The overwhelming pressure even silenced its roars.
Satisfied with its compliance, Asahi nodded. Now it looked like a proper tool... I mean, a proper tool beast.
With the Ten Tails subdued, Asahi sat down cross-legged.
This place was part of a massive spiritual gathering array he had set up on the Ogami Clan's island, so there was no concern about energy.
Moreover, it had long been designated as a forbidden area, accessible only to the core members of the Ogami Clan.
Even core members could only enter when facing a significant breakthrough.
This restriction was to ensure the accumulation of immense energy needed for breakthroughs.
If the core disciples used this place for regular training, it would deplete the energy reserves, making breakthroughs impossible.
Breaking through to the Six Paths level already required a vast amount of energy.
Without the energy supply from the Dragon Vein, the Ogami Clan disciples wouldn't have been able to achieve collective breakthroughs so easily.
Insufficient energy during a breakthrough could be fatal, resulting in either severe injury from failure or, worse, death from being completely drained.
The Ogami Clan's island didn't have the same natural advantages as the Dragon Vein, so Asahi created this forbidden area.
Over nearly ten years, he set up numerous spiritual gathering and locking arrays, amassing an ocean of energy.
For this day, Asahi had prepared for almost a decade. Without such preparation, he wouldn't dare attempt a breakthrough here.
Despite all this, he also prepared an immense stockpile of rare treasures to supplement the energy if needed.
He could have chosen to use the Dragon Vein for his breakthrough, but since he was aiming to surpass the Six Paths level, beyond the limits of the Naruto world, he couldn't be sure it wouldn't damage the Dragon Vein.
Damaging the Dragon Vein and thus depriving the Ogami Clan disciples of a vital resource for their own breakthroughs would be counterproductive.
Therefore, it was better to go through the trouble now to preserve the benefits for future generations.
After settling into a meditative position and preparing everything he needed, Asahi began his breakthrough.
Despite the Ten Tails' enormous size, Asahi showed no pity. With a simple gesture, he drew energy out of the Ten Tails' body.
The energy, which was the very essence of the Ten Tails, surged out violently.
As these energies were extracted, the Ten Tails' massive form shuddered uncontrollably, even shrinking slightly.
Although the decrease in size was not immediately noticeable due to its enormity, the impact was significant.
The recovery process for the Ten Tails would be lengthy, requiring a continuous supply of energy for it to absorb.
This was its core essence, after all, and not something that could be easily replenished.
Henceforth, the Ten Tails was likely destined to be a mere tool for the members of the Ogami Clan during their breakthroughs.
Asahi watched the extracted energy with a serious expression.
Although there was a substantial amount of energy, not all of it was suitable for his needs.
Breaking through to the transcendent level required the world's primordial life energy.
The essence energy of the Ten Tails contained such life energy, but it was mixed with many impurities and negative emotions, making it unsuitable for direct use.
Using such contaminated energy for a breakthrough would only invite trouble.
What Asahi needed to do was to separate the world's primordial life energy from the Ten Tails' essence energy.
This task was anything but simple, requiring his utmost concentration and effort.
As he focused his spiritual energy, the structure of the Ten Tails' essence energy became clear in his perception.
It was not merely a simple mixture but a deeply fused compound.
Thus, Asahi had to painstakingly extract the impurities bit by bit, akin to peeling layers off an onion.
Over time, Asahi began to feel mentally exhausted, yet his progress was evident.
The massive energy mass had dwindled to about half its original size.
After a brief moment to adjust his state, Asahi continued to separate the pure energy from the impurities.
Despite the tedious nature of the task, it proceeded relatively smoothly.
Eventually, after expending a great deal of time, the world's primordial life energy emerged before him.
Gazing at the small mass of energy, no larger than a fist, Asahi couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the difficulty of the task.
If it weren't for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's meddling, his breakthrough wouldn't have been so arduous.
However, Asahi didn't dare waste any time. He could feel an unprecedented, terrifying vitality emanating from the small energy mass.
Unlike medical chakra, this vitality was on an entirely different level. Ready to proceed with the breakthrough, Asahi remained focused.
This moment was the culmination of nearly a decade of preparation and effort, a crucial step towards transcending the limits of the ninja world.
If medical chakra is the energy for healing people, then this energy mass is the energy for healing this world.
However, the energy mass was gradually being consumed, and Asahi could feel the world absorbing it.
If it weren't for the barriers created by Asahi's energy, the world would have absorbed the energy mass in an instant.
Despite his mental fatigue, Asahi couldn't afford to wait any longer. He promptly channeled the energy mass into his body.
Immediately, he felt a sensation akin to an explosion from within.
This wasn't a literal explosion but the energy's vitality spreading through his body, making it difficult to control.
With a focused mind, Asahi worked hard to merge this primordial world energy with his own.
Even with his efforts, some wisps of the primordial world energy mixed with his own and dispersed around him.
The plants nearby, whether grass or trees, responded to this stray energy by growing rapidly and even developing chakra.
The exposure to the primordial world energy instantly elevated the life force of these plants.
Given enough time and continuous exposure to this energy, these plants might even develop consciousness and become sentient beings.
However, in the Naruto world, this was highly unlikely since the world couldn't provide a consistent source of primordial energy.
Even Asahi's breakthrough only released a tiny fraction of it. As Asahi continued to integrate the primordial world energy into his body, his clothes began to flutter.
This was merely a result of the energy stirring the air around him. Asahi could feel his body growing stronger from the infusion of the world's primordial chakra vitality.
Despite already having a powerful physique, the improvement was evident.
He couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the primordial world energy, understanding why it was essential for his breakthrough.
What Asahi didn't realize was that this phenomenon was unique to the Ninja world.
In other worlds, breaking through would involve absorbing energies that contained only minute traces of primordial energy, barely worth mentioning.
