Dan stared silently at the empty space where the Hagoromo Otsutsuki had disappeared only moments ago, calmly thinking about the current situation and the future consequences that would eventually follow.
In truth, he completely understood Hagoromo's fears and deep concerns.
Especially after the appearance of such an abnormal and overwhelmingly powerful existence inside a world that Hagoromo considered both the stage of his long plans and the safe home of his descendants.
The sudden appearance of an unpredictable force naturally represented a potential threat and disruption in balance a variable outside calculation.
But now, Hagoromo had no choice except to accept reality as it was there was no other option left for him and no ability to change what had already become fact.
Because the existence of Dan and his family within this world had already become an absolute and undeniable truth and something that would never disappear.
Even so, Dan still intended to interfere as little as possible with the major events he already knew about because he wanted to avoid changing important future developments too heavily and prevent himself from drifting toward a completely unknown future outside his expectations and knowledge but no matter how careful he tried to be some influence was unavoidable especially with how rapidly his own strength continued growing.
And even more importantly the strength of his family itself. Every member of the Walt Family possessed extremely long lifespans thanks to the Vitality Seals.
Which meant that even if one of them was born with mediocre or relatively weak talent time itself would eventually compensate for that weakness.
Particularly with the strict mentality inside the family that forced everyone to maintain constant training and reach a mandatory minimum standard of strength.
As more years passed the family would naturally continue becoming stronger and deeper and more influential like a snowball rolling down a mountain, growing larger and heavier the farther it moved.
In truth, Dan never considered himself some extraordinary genius. At least not on the level of true monsters like the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, or the genius Orochimaru who would appear hundreds of years later.
No. Dan viewed himself in a much simpler way a gear. Just a small gear inside the power system of this world. Yes a gear.
That was the comparison Dan liked most when describing himself and his true role. Simple and modest yet effective.
Because in his eyes, the power system of this world had once been stagnant and completely unmoving and because of one small gear like himself the entire machine had finally begun moving again.
If he wanted to simplify the matter clearly, then the truth was actually very straightforward.
The enormous potential of Chakra had never truly been utilized properly in this world not even close.
Even in the distant future, when Shinobi would finally appear in organized systems and many different arts would emerge like ninjutsu and genjutsu or taijutsu. Even then, Dan still believed the entire system remained relatively rigid and incomplete.
Its full potential had never truly been explored or pushed to their limits and that was where his true role began. When he arrived in this world through that mysterious transfer he brought something extremely valuable with him a completely different way of thinking.
Scientific and methodical thinking. A perspective entirely alien to the people of this world.
He carried within him part of the maturity of human civilization from the Earth where he had once lived. A civilization built across thousands upon thousands of years of continuous experiments and countless failures and successes.
Because of that, every idea he introduced into his training methods in this world from the most basic Chakra control exercises to his advanced research into Fuinjutsu, Natural Energy, and Chakra itself all of it was built upon one foundation . Scientific methodology and logical thinking.
That was the true reason behind his terrifyingly rapid rise in power through methods that seemed bizarre and completely unorthodox to the people of this world.
Instead of treating Chakra as some mysterious mystical force alone . Dan viewed it as energy something that could be studied.
Measured and analyzed and improved.
Instead of blindly following existing methods, he experimented with hundreds of different approaches. He failed repeatedly but learned from every mistake. Trial and error analysis and results gave him constant improvement.
Instead of relying only on memory, Dan recorded every experiment and result with complete precision.
Why should Chakra exist only for battle? Why follow traditional paths without question? New questions and different ideas unlock unlimited possibilities.
That mindset led him to connect physics with Chakra and chemistry with Fuinjutsu. Biology with energy systems a complete and interconnected perspective.
That kind of thinking had never truly existed in this world before or at the very least it had never been applied in such a structured and systematic way.
And so, when that small gear from another world entered this stagnant system carrying scientific methodology and logical thinking the machine finally began moving and the possibilities began opening.
That was Dan's true role not a peerless genius or some grand inventor. But the driving gear. The catalyst of change and the first spark that started movement the one who opened the path who revealed possibilities and awakened the system from its long stagnation.
He had shown that Chakra was far greater than what people believed that its possibilities were nearly limitless.
And in Dan's eyes that alone was more than enough asmall gear yet one that moved the entire world and eventually that movement would reshape the future of this planet itself.
