I'm clearly not the reincarnation of a powerful figure like Indra or Asura, so where did this external will come from?
Or rather, who in the Ninja World would have such an ability?
Since the Chakra system was established, the number of people in the Ninja World stronger than my current self can be counted on one hand.
Indra, Asura, and their successive reincarnations.
They are indeed strong, but not to the extent of possessing this kind of ability.
The only ones who might have this power are a few members of the Otsutsuki Clan.
So, the source of this will is already obvious.
The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
Kaguya was the progenitor of Chakra in the Ninja World, but it was the Sage of Six Paths, who founded Ninshu, who truly spread Chakra throughout the Ninja World.
It's highly likely that when he spread the "seed of Chakra" in the Ninja World, he left behind this hidden mechanism, ensuring that every ninja who used Chakra afterwards would be unable to escape his control.
That old man appears to be uninvolved, yet everything is within his grasp. Just a fraction of his power was enough to temporarily elevate Naruto and Sasuke to Six Paths Level, allowing them to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.
And when Kaguya was defeated and Team Seven was left in the Starting Ball Dimension, the Sage of Six Paths clapped his hands, first summoning the spiritual forms of the past Five Kage, and then clapped again, bringing Team Seven back from the Starting Ball Dimension with the past Five Kage.
Naruto and Sasuke have Six Paths power, and Kakashi, having been healed by Naruto, also has Six Paths power. They both have the Sage of Six Paths' mark, allowing them to be summoned. But what about Sakura Haruno?
And how were the past Five Kage summoned without flesh, blood, or DNA?
That could only mean he tampered with Chakra itself.
"And not just that, old man. I've lived for hundreds of years, and I can deduce that this power of yours has a higher, more complete form. If you were to use this energy to attack that Dimensional Demon God, it would have no effect; you'd only be absorbed and assimilated. And after your death, he could easily claim your soul and power."
Damn, it seems that's really the case.
After death, powerful figures in the Ninja World all go to the Pure Land.
Could the Sage of Six Paths' current strength reach a multiversal level?
Qingshui felt it was highly unlikely, but that old man was at least much stronger than him.
The Sage of Six Paths, in his early twenties, could seal Kaguya Otsutsuki with his brother. At that time, the brothers' strength was definitely above that of Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke. So, how strong would he have been in his later years after acquiring the Ten-Tails?
After a thousand years, it's truly hard to say how strong the Sage of Six Paths might have become.
Qingshui also didn't believe that a being of that level would die of old age so easily.
If it were an avatar, the Sage of Six Paths might not be able to interfere much, but his true body is right here in the Ninja World.
Perhaps the Sage of Six Paths is a friendly entity, but what if he's not?
One must be prepared.
And besides the Sage of Six Paths, it doesn't mean there are no threats outside the Ninja World.
After all, the Otsutsuki Clan still exists.
For them, Ninjutsu performed with pure Chakra is just asking for trouble.
Even though that's far from him, he still needs to prepare for it as soon as possible.
"Ancient One, do you have a solution?"
"You want to know?"
The Ancient One's face again showed that mischievous expression.
"Yes, but I can accept it if there's truly no way."
Qingshui shrugged his shoulders, completely unconcerned.
He still had several decades anyway.
"No fun."
The Ancient One waved a hand.
"There are two solutions. One is to sign a contract with other multiversal deities, borrowing the power of other Dimensional Demon Gods to resist the Dimensional Demon God's will within you. As for the other..."
The Ancient One pointed to the Scepter resting beside Qingshui.
"That would be to continuously develop the Mind Stone, using its power to constantly strengthen your own will, until you're strong enough to perceive and erase that will. However, this is only theoretically feasible. How it will work depends on how strong that Dimensional Demon God truly is. Before that, I will leave a mark on you as a monitor to prevent any accidents.
The Time Stone I possess can only predict the future based on what already exists in this universe; its power cannot reach beyond the universe, and Dimensional Demon Gods happen to reside outside the universe. I must prepare for this in advance, because you have some power, and I can't set up a monitor without you noticing, which is why I appeared before you."
So that's how it is.
It's good to have a solution.
"Ahem, uh, Ancient One, about this monitoring of yours... well, I've invited a few Hollywood actresses to my place tomorrow night. You wouldn't happen to..."
"Do I look like an old man with nothing better to do?"
"Quite a bit, actually."
The Ancient One's action of stroking his beard paused.
He really did seem like that kind of person.
But he truly hadn't thought that just now!
"If that's how you truly see me, then there's nothing I can do."
The Ancient One scratched his head, then finally spoke, "Actually, I wouldn't really do something like that. What I planned to set up for you was a monitoring system for anomalous spatiotemporal signals, to prevent a Dimensional Demon God from using you as a breakthrough point to invade this universe."
"Really?"
"Really."
"I don't believe you."
"You're getting a bit cheeky, young man. You don't think this old man can't beat you, do you?"
I'll endure this, just for now!
Sooner or later, I'll have to imitate some seniors and hold a Sorcerer Supreme memorial concert in the future!
"Master Ancient One, I was wrong!"
"Very good, your attitude toward admitting fault is excellent, young man."
The five-hundred-plus-year-old shamelessly old man nodded in satisfaction. He reached out and pinched the air, pulling out a uniquely shaped ring.
The Sling Ring, a type of ring worn on two fingers, assists in casting spells and opening spatial portals. It is an exclusive magic tool for mages of Kamar-Taj.
"You should be able to control the spiritual energy within you well, right? After putting it on, inject your spiritual energy into the Sling Ring. I don't know if your own energy has spatial attributes, but the Sling Ring can borrow the power of the Vishanti to cast spells. As long as the energy automatically flows along the runes on the ring, and you think about the place you want to open at that moment, then your thoughts will flow into the Sling Ring along with your spiritual energy, opening a portal."
As the Ancient One spoke, he casually drew a circle beside him, opening a portal with golden sparks flickering along its edge.
"Did you see that clearly?"
The Ancient One asked Qingshui.
Qingshui extended his perception through the portal, and after seeing the details behind it, he nodded his head, put the Sling Ring on his finger, and reached out to draw a circle.
"Wrong, it's not the hand with the Sling Ring that draws the circle. The Sling Ring's purpose is to draw in and guide energy. The right hand drawing the circle is to help you focus your attention on the location where you want to open the portal."
The Ancient One reminded him.
Qingshui paused his movements, then followed suit.
However, his first instinct was to use his own Chakra to operate it.
