The answer came faster than Jie expected.
The giant Tenseigan suddenly pulled harder, and the power that had been shared between him and Hinata started to rise again.
This time, the change was much stronger than before. Even Jie had to calm his breathing, while Hinata's body shook under the pressure.
A few moments later, Hinata cried out again.
A clear blue light flashed in her eyes. It only lasted for a moment, but Jie could feel the change right away. The power in Hinata's eyes had reached the final step.
Her Thousand-Pupiled Byakugan had finished changing.
It had become the Tenseigan.
As soon as Hinata's transformation ended, the giant Tenseigan stopped giving her power. The pull around her disappeared, and her body went weak as she could not handle the strain anymore.
Jie caught her before she fell, but before he could check on her, all the force from the giant Tenseigan moved onto him.
The pressure grew stronger at once.
Without Hinata helping, all the chakra and eye power rushed into Jie. His body was stronger than Hinata's, but even he felt the sudden force and frowned a little.
At the same time, the power in his eyes started moving faster.
Jie closed his eyes and stopped fighting it. This was not a trap anymore, so there was no need to resist.
He guided the chakra through his body and let the eye power gather where it needed to go.
Time passed quietly in the chamber.
The giant Tenseigan floated in front of him, its light slowly getting weaker as its power was taken away.
Hinata had already fainted in his arms, and Hanabi was still unconscious nearby. In the whole chamber, only Jie was awake to feel the change.
The power in his eyes reached its limit.
A sharp pain hit both eyes, making Jie close them. The pain was stronger than before, but it did not last long. It felt like something breaking open. When it ended, Jie knew something inside him had changed.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Red-gold chakra burst out from his body at once, rising around him like fire.
If Hinata had still been awake, she would have seen something amazing.
Jie's eyes were not the same anymore. One moment, they had the ring pattern of the Rinnegan. The next moment, they shone with the blue light of the Tenseigan. The two powers kept changing, like they were trying to settle down.
After a short time, Jie calmed his mind, and the changes slowly stopped.
His left eye became the Rinnegan.
His right eye became the Tenseigan.
Two powers from different Otsutsuki bloodlines were now in one person.
Jie felt the power inside him, and his heart surged with excitement. It had been more than ten years since he came to this world. After all the planning, training, fighting, and waiting, he had finally reached this point.
Now, he had truly stepped into the Six Paths level.
Madara, the Fourth Great Ninja War, and the dangers of the future no longer felt so heavy. They were still problems, but they were not things he had to fear anymore.
Still, his excitement did not last long. Jie quickly calmed himself down.
He had reached the Six Paths level, but Jie could still feel the difference.
The Tenseigan Chakra Mode had pushed him into that realm. His body and chakra, however, had not fully caught up yet.
Then the missing piece appeared.
The Six Paths chakra seed inside him cracked open.
When he married Izumi, the system had given him this seed as a reward. Jie took it out back then, but he was busy with the wedding and did not study it.
After that, many things happened, and he almost forgot about it.
Now, after his Rinnegan and Tenseigan finished evolving and his power reached the Six Paths level, the seed reacted. It broke apart by itself and spread through his whole body.
Only then did Jie understand what it was for.
The seed was not a normal reward that gave him power right away. It was more like a base. As long as there was enough chakra and natural energy, it could slowly guide a person's body and chakra to reach the Six Paths level.
When he understood this, Jie felt a little regret.
If he had gotten this in his beginner gift pack, he might have reached this level much earlier. He would not have needed to spend so many years building his strength bit by bit.
But even so, it was not too late now.
As the seed merged into his body, Jie could clearly feel his chakra changing. It became calmer, heavier, and purer, like it was moving to a higher level.
Maybe at the end of this path, he would become like Kaguya, someone who could not truly be killed and could only be sealed.
Jie did not think about it for long.
The path was already open. As long as he kept going, his body and chakra would change on their own. What mattered now was the giant Tenseigan in front of him.
After helping him and Hinata change, the giant Tenseigan had become much weaker. Its light was dim, and the strong pressure in the room had dropped a lot.
Even so, it was still dangerous.
If given time, the giant Tenseigan could recover its power. If Toneri or Black Zetsu came back to the moon and used it, it would become a hidden danger for the ninja world.
Jie already had his own Tenseigan, and it was just as strong as this giant one. So, leaving this one here would only bring trouble.
Since the Six Paths chakra seed needed a lot of chakra and natural energy to finish changing his body, the power left in the giant Tenseigan came at the right time.
After deciding, Jie put one hand on the giant Tenseigan.
"Sealing Technique Absorption."
After his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan became the Rinnegan, Jie could use its powers easily. Under the pull of Sealing Technique Absorption, the giant Tenseigan shook, and a large amount of chakra and eye power started flowing into his body again.
This time, Jie was not being pulled in by force.
He was taking it on his own.
