With Otsutsuki Hagoromo's actions, Asahi's heart eased a bit. Following that, Otsutsuki Hagoromo continued with a smile:

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. I just have a general idea of who you are. After all in this era, it's not common for someone to casually reveal my identity in a single sentence."

Hearing Otsutsuki Hagoromo's words, a dark line instantly appeared on Asahi's forehead. Darn it, that was too hasty.

Asahi hadn't thought that much about it earlier. Given the tense situation and not knowing what Otsutsuki Hagoromo meant, he wanted to create an air of mystery. 

However, with just this small oversight, could Otsutsuki Hagoromo confirm his identity? 

After a moment of speechlessness, the next thing that crossed Asahi's mind was confusion.

Asahi relaxed a bit and then looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo with a puzzled expression, asking, "But, just based on this, can't prove that I'm an alleged outsider, right?"

Seeing Asahi slightly relax, Otsutsuki Hagoromo smiled faintly and said, 

"Indeed, but when I say this, I naturally have my basis. What you don't know is that I now possess the ability to perceive the connection between living beings and the world."

"Under normal circumstances, a powerful individual like you should have a deep connection with the world."

"However, the world imprint on you is shallow. It's even less than that of an ordinary native. This is abnormal."

"It's through this that I confirmed you are not from this world."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo explained earnestly to Asahi. After hearing the explanation, Asahi furrowed his brows.

"You say you can perceive the connection between living beings and the world? Is this an ability possessed by every Six Paths level individual?"

With a frown, Asahi expressed his doubts. After all, his goal was not limited to just the Naruto world. The Naruto world was only a relatively low-level world.

Although the Six Paths level was considered the ceiling here, in other words, it was just an average level. 

If every Six Paths level being had such an extraordinary ability, it would be highly disadvantageous for Asahi's future development.

Facing Asahi's confusion, Otsutsuki Hagoromo gently shook his head, revealing a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"It's not like that. The Six Paths level doesn't have access to this ability. Even from this level, one can only slowly and gradually comprehend the power of the world's origin."

Hearing Otsutsuki Hagoromo's words, Asahi became even more puzzled, frowning as he asked, "Then, what level of power do you possess, wait, don't tell me..?"

Asahi didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already apparent. 

He was wondering if Otsutsuki Hagoromo had surpassed the Six Paths level. 

Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who had lived for thousands of years, naturally sensed the implication.

At this moment, he had put away the trace of bitterness in his heart and displayed a carefree appearance in front of Asahi. 

If it weren't for his long slumber, coupled with Asahi's formidable strength, he wouldn't have revealed his inner emotions in front of Asahi.

"I'm not as powerful as you think. My strength, to be precise, can be considered pseudo-transcendent."

"Oh, I forgot to explain to you. Although your vitality is very robust, you should be able to feel that even if your strength reaches the Six Paths level, your lifespan is still limited."

"But based on my speculation, if you can enter the next level, the lifespan of living beings will be like that of this world, coexisting with the heavens and the earth."

"After all, Mother has been alive for so many years, still immortal..."

"So, I call this realm, Transcendent."

Listening to Otsutsuki Hagoromo's words, Asahi couldn't help but nod. Indeed, even now, he could easily sense that he was not immortal.

Moreover, he agreed with the name of the Transcendent level, the next level after the Six Paths level, based on his conjecture.

According to his guess, if he could reach this realm, he should be able to break through the world's barriers and reach the next world. 

As for Kaguya being on the Transcendent level, Asahi didn't find it strange. 

Her clumsy combat skills were easily suppressing the powered-up Naruto and Sasuke, making her deserving of the Transcendent realm.

Seeing Asahi nod, Otsutsuki Hagoromo paused for a moment before continuing, 

"My ability to perceive the connection between living beings and the world is related to this."

"I remember back then, just like you, I broke through to the Six Paths level through my own efforts."

"However, I wasn't as fortunate as you. At that time, I still had Hamura. We engaged in a battle lasting several years to prevent Mother from destroying the world."

"It was during this battle that we caused severe damage to the world. Since then, we felt the resistance of the world's rules."

"I and Homura spent decades in training, successfully reaching the Peak of the Six Paths Level."

"However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't break through."

In our quest for a breakthrough, Homura and I left the Shinobi world and searched for a way to transcend in the cold vastness of the universe."

"Finding a planet that could support our breakthrough proved to be extremely difficult."

"After years of space travel, we found nothing."

"In disappointment, we had to give up on that path and return to the Shinobi world."

"This time, after several years, we finally figured out why we couldn't break through."

Hearing this, Asahi's eyes widened in excitement. He was curious about how to break through to the next level. 

If he could learn the method from Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he could save a lot of time.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo noticed Asahi's excitement but didn't say anything. After all, Asahi would inevitably reach that step, and he couldn't prevent it. 

It wasn't because Otsutsuki Hagoromo couldn't defeat Asahi, but intervening would inevitably cause irreparable damage to the Shinobi world.

As the guardian of the Shinobi world for centuries, Otsutsuki Hagoromo didn't want such a situation to occur. 

Moreover, he no longer harbored the ambitions of his youth. Now, all he hoped for was to safeguard the security of the Shinobi world. 

Therefore, everything he did now was aimed at building a positive relationship with Asahi. 

This way, even if Asahi chose the path of transcendence in the future, it wouldn't harm the world.
