Chapter 193 - 193 (2/2)
”Well, that's because Hagoromo IS the Rikudo Sennin!” Ryo then concealed the matter of the Biju, but told Pakura about the origin of the Sharingan.
From Ryo, Pakura learned that the Rikudo sennin had two sons. The eldest, Indra, inherited his father's powerful Chakra, and spiritual energy, along with his own Dojutsu, having the Yin power of his father. The 2nd, Ashura, inherited his father's ”Body”: his physical power, and his Yang power. The two sons had a rivalry to succeed their father.
This confrontation lasted for many years, exceeding the two to their descendants, who had also inherited their power one generation after another.
”So the Uchiha and the Senju are the descendants of the Rikudo Sennin! No wonder they were that strong during the Warring States Period!” Pakura sighed.
”Well, bloodline is important, giving tremendous power indeed. But its power is not absolute.” Said Ryo.
”Then what? According to what you just said, Indra and Ashura should not have the Rinnegan.” Pakura did not argue with Ryo, and instead returned to the matter of the Rinnegan.
”Indeed. Indra and Asura's Chakra were passed down through generations, and they've been destined to fight each other again and again.” Ryo continued, ”A Reincarnation of each of them would be born again and again. I believe that combining these reincarnations' Chakra could lead to the rebirth of the Rikudo Sennin's power. This combination of Yin and Yang would bring along his Dojutsu as well: the Rinnegan!”
”Does that mean that anyone having the fusion of their two Chakras will have a Rinnegan?” Pakura asked thoughtfully.
”I am not sure about that, but to have the Rinnegan, one needs Chakra from both indeed.” Ryo answered after some thought.
Ryo was not sure if any fusion of the two Chakras would give birth to the Rinnegan. Yes, Madara did have the Rinnegan, and it did not replace the Sharingan, or have its properties. Whenever he wanted to use Jutsus from both Dojutsu, he had to switch back and forth.
This made Ryo certain that the two Dojutsu were independent, not evolution of each other. Also, on top of this, Ryo concluded that perhaps, having the Sharingan might not be a condition to activate the Rinnegan.
However, the two with Rinnegan in the Manga, Sasuke and Madara, were both Indra's Reincarnations, both wielding Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans. Therefore, Ryo wasn't hasty to make a conclusion.
Pakura could not stay calm after hearing Ryo talk for such a long time. What he had said change her perspective on the whole world.
Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra; Hagoromo, the Rikudo Sennin , such myths did exist?!
Ryo thought it would take Pakura long to accept the matter, but he never expected her to regain her composure as quickly as she did.
In fact, while all this ”history” sounded very shocking, it was just that, history, not affecting the current Ninja world to Pakura's knowledge. Therefore, she quickly calmed down.
”Now that I know all of this, what did bring you to me, Ryo?” Pakura took the subject back to Ryo's main purpose.
”Ah yeah, I want you to take care of Rin for a while, until I come back to pick her up!”
”Is this related to your friend gaining the Mangekyo Sharingan?” Pakura asked tentatively.
Ryo actually didn't hide anything, nodding his head immediately.
”Alright! I'll take care of her!” After some quick thought, Pakura agreed to take care of Rin.
