Using primordial world energy for a breakthrough, as Asahi did, is an extravagant move.
This type of energy is as valuable as spiritual treasures. In the hands of powerful beings, its potential uses are enormous.
Many powerful entities spend endless amounts of time trying to collect even a small amount of primordial world energy from the environment.
If not for the unique nature of the Naruto world, Asahi wouldn't have been able to gather such a large mass of it.
However, Asahi was unaware of this.
Although some of the Ogami Clan's records mention it, there is so much to learn from the clan's vast collection of knowledge that it's overwhelming.
Asahi had to focus on selecting the most immediately useful texts and techniques for his current stage of training.
Consequently, he knew nothing about primordial world energy. His entire focus was on the changes occurring within his body.
As he absorbed the primordial world energy, his body rapidly strengthened, and the energy within him began to merge with it.
An indescribable feeling rose within him, as though he could sense the very breath of the world.
At that moment, Asahi felt his mind clear completely.
After an unknown period, he felt as if he had broken through some kind of barrier within himself.
With a faint sound echoing in his mind, Asahi's body began to act like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surrounding energy.
The once-dense energy in the area was rapidly depleted. However, Asahi's rate of absorption eventually slowed.
He smiled lightly, realizing that he could save many of the precious materials he had prepared as a precaution.
Once the rare treasures were safely put away, Asahi ceased absorbing the now sparse ambient energy.
He stood up and felt the immense power within his body.
He also sensed that the invisible barrier in the space around him could no longer hold him back. If he wished, he could easily break through it.
Asahi lightly punched the air, creating a black hole-like abyss.
Unlike distorted space, this black hole did not result from spatial warping, as there were no spatial distortions around it.
Asahi sensed that this black hole connected to a mysterious world, though he didn't know its nature.
Despite his curiosity, he had no intention of exploring it now.
Asahi wanted to stay in the Naruto world since he had unfinished business.
After the punch, he made no further moves, and the small black hole closed quickly.
Although the phenomenon went unnoticed by ordinary people and most ninjas, those who had reached the Six Paths level sensed the anomaly.
They understood that Asahi caused this unique disturbance, so they weren't surprised.
After all, it was Asahi—anything was possible. However, the ripple of this black hole spread far beyond the ninja world.
The ripple caused by breaking through the world's barrier was something everyone in the Naruto world could sense.
Even those countless light-years away, if they were strong enough, could detect this wave.
For instance, deep in the cosmos, a few beings with white skin, white eyes, and horns on their heads immediately noticed the disturbance.
They exchanged astonished glances. Despite their formidable strength, they couldn't break through the world's barrier to trigger such a wave.
"Did you feel that too?" Throughout the universe, many powerful beings were asking their companions the same question.
Those with strong enough partners received affirmative answers, while those less powerful could only shake their heads in confusion.
Each had their method of verification, and everyone who sensed the wave confirmed their thoughts.
They were intrigued, seeing this wave as a potential breakthrough opportunity.
Though Asahi's ripple lasted only a short time, it was enough for these beings to trace its origin.
Unfortunately, most would have to give up. The Naruto world was too far away, and many would perish before reaching it.
However, a few could make the journey. Leading among them were Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and his group, who were already drifting through space.
They did not hesitate.
In the depths of space, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki addressed Momoshiki and Kinshiki, "Aren't you two going to check it out? I'm heading there first."
Without waiting for their response, he disappeared, speeding towards the ninja world.
Watching Urashiki vanish, Momoshiki scoffed, "That coward is finally showing some initiative. Let's go, Kinshiki. We can't let him think less of us."
"Yes, Lord Momoshiki," Kinshiki responded, and the two also sped toward the ninja world.
With a clear destination, they would reach the ninja world in at most six months at full speed.
Although they had been searching for the runaway Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, they weren't in a rush.
After so many years without finding her, they figured they might as well investigate this new phenomenon.
To them, Kaguya was just a servant, far less important than their breakthrough opportunity. This belief was deeply ingrained in their minds.
Even Kaguya held this belief; otherwise, she wouldn't have created the White Zetsu, mere foot soldiers, to combat Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
What sparks might fly when Momoshiki's group finally encountered Kaguya was anyone's guess.
Given Kaguya's power significantly surpassed Momoshiki and his group, such a confrontation would likely leave them shocked.
If they did meet, it was likely that Momoshiki and his companions would be taken aback by her strength.
However, Asahi was completely unaware of these events unfolding in the universe.
At that moment, Asahi had just emerged from the Ogami Clan's forbidden area.
As Asahi emerged, Nagato, the leader of the Ogami Clan, was already waiting outside. The moment Asahi appeared, Nagato stepped forward.
Seeing Nagato's hesitant expression, Asahi smiled slightly. He understood Nagato's concerns.
Before Nagato could speak, Asahi waved his hand and said, "I won't be leaving just yet."
"You've done well these past years. Go ahead and seal the Ten-Tails. It will be your responsibility from now on."
"You already know the method for future breakthroughs, so pass it down when the time comes."
"I'll take this time to set up a few more forbidden areas. It takes ten years to gather enough energy for one person to break through, and that's not enough."
Without giving Nagato a chance to respond, Asahi left immediately. After Asahi departed, Nagato stood in place for a long time.
Finally, he let out a long breath and composed himself before following Asahi's instructions to seal the Ten-Tails in the forbidden area.
Meanwhile, Asahi set up several more forbidden areas across the Ogami Clan's island.
Asahi's strength had increased significantly, and with it, his skill in setting up formations.
The new formations were much more effective than before.
The forbidden area Asahi had used for his breakthrough had taken nearly ten years to gather the necessary energy.
The new formations, however, would accomplish this in just three to five years, more than doubling their efficiency.
It would take Nagato and the newly ascended Six Paths level members about twenty years to reach the Transcendence realm.
By then, the energy gathered in these forbidden areas would be sufficient to support their breakthroughs.
With these new formations in place, Asahi ensured that the Ogami Clan had no further worries.
After completing the setup and sending a final message to Nagato, Asahi quietly left the Ogami Clan.
He informed no one of his departure, but Nagato and the others who had reached the Six Paths level had their suspicions.
Despite their reluctance to part, they felt a sense of pride, knowing that Asahi was their clan master and mentor.
After leaving the Ogami Clan, Asahi did not wander but headed straight to the moon.
Gazing at the desolate landscape, he shook his head slightly.
His previous battle with Ōtsutsuki Ō had destroyed the formations that sustained life on the moon, leaving it in a vacuum state.
The barren moon was now a typical lifeless celestial body, as is common in the universe. Without human intervention, it would take tens of thousands of years for the moon to show signs of life again.
However, Asahi had no intention of restoring the moon.
His goal was singular: to confront Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who was sealed deep within the moon.
Standing on the lunar surface, Asahi's expression turned serious.
Although he had reached the Transcendence realm, Kaguya had achieved this level long ago.
Despite her long imprisonment, Asahi did not underestimate her at all.
Although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya couldn't pose a significant threat to Asahi, subduing her wouldn't be an easy task either.
If Kaguya were to immediately attack the people of the ninja world upon her release, the resulting damage would be unimaginable.
To prevent such a scenario, Asahi didn't release Kaguya right away. Instead, he began inscribing numerous formations and runes on the moon.
Asahi wasn't inexperienced with attack and control formations, so he set up a comprehensive trap for Kaguya.
If she chose to oppose him, these formations would activate immediately to subdue her.
This preparation was energy-intensive because, despite the moon being artificial, its size was considerable.
Additionally, since Kaguya's exact location upon release was uncertain, Asahi had to expend even more energy to increase the number and quality of the formations for safety.
Despite the high energy consumption, Asahi deemed it worthwhile. The energy he used was like a renewable resource, easily replenishable.
The trade-off of expending this energy to prevent potential disasters was more than fair.
However, setting up the formations proved to be more time-consuming and energy-draining than Asahi had anticipated.
By the time he completed the arrangements, he had lost track of how much time had passed, and even he, despite his power, appeared somewhat pale from the effort.
Thus, after finishing the formations, Asahi didn't immediately proceed. Instead, he sat down to meditate and recover his strength.
When he finally opened his eyes again, he had returned to his peak condition.
With no further hesitation, Asahi formed his hand into a blade and struck the moon's surface.
Kaguya was sealed within the moon, and there were only two ways to break the seal.
One method involved using someone with the Rinnegan as a sacrificial vessel to resurrect Kaguya, which Asahi outright dismissed.
Not only was it cruel, but it was also unthinkable to use Nagato, or anyone else, as a sacrifice.
Therefore, Asahi opted for the second method: forcibly splitting the moon to release Kaguya.
Given his strength, even if he shattered the entire moon, he could easily reconstruct it. All he needed to do was leave it open to free Kaguya.
