Naruto read the words in amazement, he already knew the great power his eyes held, but being able to create life out of thin air was something unheard of.

"That old gentleman is truly unfathomable! Creating and giving life, those are things that only gods can do, how could mortals possibly..." Naruto pondered to himself, wondering if his Rinnegan could do the same thing.

If it worked, then he could use these powers without fear of going blind like the Uchiha did.

"Let's go, Hinata." Naruto said, Hinata nodded and put the scroll back. Before leaving, Hinata looked around again to make sure nothing was missed.

"Wait." Hinata seemed to have discovered something, and her eyes scanned back and forth in the main hall. "There seems to be a secret room under this main hall."

"Secret Chamber?" Naruto was puzzled.

"Where is the entrance?" Naruto asked. Hinata's Byakugan moved rapidly, analyzing the structure of the room.

"I can't find the entrance. The chakra in this area is completely blocked." Hinata explained.

The two walked into the center of the main hall.

"It's right under our feet." Hinata said, pointing to the ground.

"How deep?" Naruto asked.

"About five meters." Hinata estimated the distance.

Naruto nodded, picked up Hinata, activated Kamui, and dived underground with her.

A few seconds later, they landed in a secret room. It was pitch black all around, even with Naruto and Hinata's eye technique, it was difficult to see.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Naruto sprayed a small fireball towards the torch beside him and lit it.

In this way, he lit several fireballs in succession until the whole room was illuminated.

The secret room was empty except for a table and a few chairs. Naruto walked to the other end of the room. There was a small room there. There was a huge stone in the middle of the room with a torch on each side. The stone looked very ancient.

Naruto activated his Sharingan and began to interpret the words on the stone tablet.

"What are you doing?" Hinata asked in confusion. "There's nothing on this stone tablet?"

"It seems that only the Sharingan can see the words above." Naruto replied, and he began to read the contents of the stone tablet word by word.

"Congratulations on opening the Sharingan, my descendant. The Sharingan is the eye of my eldest son, and it possesses incredible power. The basic Sharingan has three stages, namely, single magatama..."

Naruto continued reading the description of the Sharingan's abilities until he reached the last paragraph.

"But the power of the Sharingan is far more than that. My eldest son seems to have opened another stage, which he calls... the Mangekyō Sharingan. The power of these eyes far exceeds that of ordinary Sharingan..."

What followed confused Naruto. The clear text suddenly turned into a bunch of meaningless strings.

"Try using your Mangekyō Sharingan," Kyuubi suggested.

Naruto decided to give it a try. He opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the disorganized letters miraculously rearranged themselves into a fluent sentence.

"…He not only acquired powerful ninjutsu and other illusions, but also gained insight beyond that of ordinary people. I wrote this stone tablet at the request of my eldest son, who hopes to pass on his power to future generations. However, this stone tablet can only be interpreted by his bloodline…"

"It happens again." Naruto sighed. He decided to try using the Rinnegan, and all the words appeared clearly.

"…It was an age of war, humanity suffered from the devastation of war, and the killing was endless. My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, hoped to find a way to end the war and eliminate the suffering. In our hometown, there is an extremely huge sacred tree. It towers into the clouds, even surpassing all the mountains in the world. The leaves of the sacred tree are evergreen all year round, as if they will never age…"

According to the scroll, the sacred tree has existed for thousands of years and bears a fruit every thousand years. Although the scroll clearly prohibits eating the fruit, the mother decided to take the risk in order to quell the war.

After eating the fruit, my mother gained the power to control chakra and single-handedly put an end to the war. Many years passed, and the smoke of war never ignited again. Later, I, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, was born. I inherited my mother's power and obtained the eye technique called "Reincarnation Eye".

As time went by, the sacred tree was eager to regain its lost power, and it transformed into the Ten-Tails and attacked my mother. It was a long and fierce battle, and in the end I sealed the Ten-Tails and temporarily resolved the crisis.

In the last few years of my life, I realized that the Ten-Tails would definitely come back after my death. In order to prevent this from happening, I split the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts and sealed them in the bodies of One to Nine Tails respectively. Finally, I used the power of "Creation of All Things" to seal the Ten-Tails' body in the moon.

If you are reading this, you have the Samsara Eye. This is my final request - if war comes again, please do everything you can to stop it. Although I have not experienced war myself, I have witnessed the suffering it brings during my travels. War only brings death and pain, and makes the cycle of hatred never end.

Good luck, my descendants...

******

Naruto was silent for a long time, digesting everything on the stone tablet.

Now he finally understood the whole story and the immortal's last words.

"I will definitely find a path to peace. I will not escape nor break my promise. This is my ninja way, I promise you, Sage." Naruto stood up, his eyes shining with light.

"Nine-Tails, do you know all these things?" Naruto asked his partner.

Kyuubi was silent for a moment, then replied:

"I don't know. The immortal never told us the cause of these things. He was always vague."

Naruto nodded.

"I have got everything I wanted." Naruto put his hand on Hinata's shoulder, "Let's go home." As soon as he finished speaking, the two disappeared in a flash of light.

##Six Months Later##

Six months had passed, and Naruto was training harder than ever before.

Hinata, Gaara, and Jiraiya had asked about the contents of the stone tablet, but Naruto just said that he had found his target, and that was it.

Unlike the Sharingan, which requires strong mental stimulation to open, the power of the Rinnegan is as natural to Naruto as breathing.

Therefore, he has mastered the power of the Six Paths. When Naruto first summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue, the Nine-Tails mistakenly thought he was going to destroy the world and was frightened to death...

After that, the Nine-Tails repeatedly warned Naruto that some things are better not to try lightly.

After a week of practice, Naruto mastered the power of the Heavenly Path and learned to control gravity; after another week, he awakened the Animal Path and could summon all kinds of rare and exotic beasts; in the actual combat training with Jiraiya, he successively awakened the Hell Path, the Shura Path, and the Human Path.

During a mission, Naruto encountered an innocent dead person. His intense grief unexpectedly awakened the last power - Outer Path.
