Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 54: The Six Paths Sage's Apology

last moment.

Between life and death.

This is the gap between the underworld and the real world.

When Hashirama Senju's soul left his body, his death attracted the attention of the Six Paths Sage, because the Six Paths Sage noticed the chakra on Hashirama Senju's body.

"Are we going to start again?"

The remaining chakra of the Six Paths Sage stared at the chakra of Hashirama Senju, as if he could see the oath his second son had made in the past: "Is Ashura's chakra...going back to the Pure Land of the Underworld...to follow his brother and wait for the next reincarnation?"

This is the story of the reincarnation of chakra.

The Six Paths Sage had seen this many times over the past thousand years and had long been completely accustomed to it. He could only hope that the two children's chakras would be reconciled one day.

but…

This time there seems to be an exception.

Because Hashirama Senju's soul carrying Ashura's chakra seeds did not return to the pure land of the underworld, but instead remained between life and death due to some obsession!

This…

There is something wrong with the reincarnated chakra bearer!
The Six Paths Sage realized the trouble at the first moment. This situation had never happened before because Ashura's chakra had been reincarnating constantly to solve the reincarnation of Indra's chakra. How could he choose to stay between life and death?
The Six Paths Sage frowned and could only think of one possibility: "Could it be because the reincarnated carrier of Indra's chakra has not died yet?"

but…

This doesn't help either.

Even if a soul is trapped between life and death due to obsession, it may not be able to be liberated, because it needs other souls to be willing to respond to its obsession.

Even if the reincarnation of Indra's chakra dies...

Nor might they be willing to respond to Ashura's chakra reincarnation.

Even the chakra left by the arrogant eldest son might choose to return to the pure land of the underworld without mercy, and would not care about the Asura Chakra trapped in the cracks, and would continue to start the next round of reincarnation without any hesitation.

"Although it's not a real crisis in the ninja world..."

The remaining chakra of the Six Paths Sage sighed, and his figure quietly fell towards that area: "But fortunately, this is not the real world, but the gap between life and death. This remaining chakra does not need a medium to descend..."

The gap between life and death.

The soul of Hashirama Senju sat beside a fire.

Just as Hashirama Senju's soul was looking around in confusion, he only saw endless darkness, which made a terrifying loneliness rise in his heart.

This loneliness without light...

It is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure!
Fortunately, Hashirama Senju is not an ordinary person, and his will is very strong. His soul is thinking about a question that makes him very obsessed: when can he meet Madara?
That’s not the case…

I came here to seek an audience with the Sage of Six Paths...

However, Hashirama Senju's soul immediately wanted to put this thought behind him. His obsession to see Uchiha Madara enveloped his soul, making him subconsciously not want to see the Six Paths Sage. He only wanted to see Uchiha Madara here...

This idea is somewhat rude.

It is really inappropriate that I want to see the dead Ban as soon as possible just because I am dying.

but…

This idea cannot go away.

Senju Hashirama realized that in this lonely area, he really wanted to meet Uchiha Madara and have a good chat with the dead Uchiha Madara.

There is no time here.

I should be able to meet Uchiha Madara soon.

There is no time here.

Maybe it will take a thousand years before we can see Uchiha Madara.

Just when Hashirama Senju was feeling a little ashamed and wished to meet Uchiha Madara as soon as possible, an old monk with a strange appearance walked out of the darkness. He stopped like a traveler who had traveled for many years, and looked at Hashirama Senju with a kind face.

"Newcomer."

"Can I rest here for a while?"

"of course can."

Senju Hashirama had a kind soul. He thought that the old man must be cold walking out of the darkness, and he even deliberately made room for him, indicating that he could sit down.

However, when the old monk actually sat down, Hashirama Senju suddenly realized that something was wrong!

This…

Isn't this right?

Didn't Emiya Shihara say that there was only loneliness here?

Why can we see a traveling monk here?
"Would you like to chat with me, a former monk?"

The old monk sat down slowly, carrying his Zen staff on his back, and started talking: "Why do you want to stay here?"

"Who are you, Excellency?"

A hint of vigilance even appeared on the face of Senju Hashirama's soul. He recalled Emiya Shihara's instructions and asked carefully: "In this place, except for one's own obsession, souls should not be able to meet..."

"Newcomer."

"Then can you tell me first..."

"Who told you about the situation here?"

The old monk raised his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of eyes that looked like strange tree rings. Those strange eyes seemed to have completely captivated Hashirama Senju: "This is the gap between the underworld and the living world. Even the dead should not be able to obtain information here..."

"That is…"

"The eye of reincarnation..."

Senju Hashirama recognized the legendary eyes at a glance.

Samsara Eye!
The legendary Rinnegan in the ninja world!
The eyes of the legendary Six Paths Sage, which look like tree rings, are listed as the three major eye techniques along with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and the Hyuga clan's Byakugan!
"Your Excellency is..."

"Six Paths Immortal?"

Senju Hashirama actually felt a little regretful at the first moment.

Because before he died, he seemed to have forgotten to ask what the Six Paths Sage Emiya Shihara looked like, so he was unable to determine the other party's identity at all!
but…

There should only be the Six Paths Sage, right?

After all, the existence that can travel between life and death must be a legendary god, not an ordinary person...

so…

Their plan succeeded!

“I really didn’t expect…”

The Six Paths Sage closed his eyes slightly and sighed softly: "There are still people in this world who remember me, a former monk..."

"Is this really the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"

Senju Hashirama was a little delighted at the first sight, and took the opportunity to express his obsession: "Sorry, I stayed here just to see my old friend Madara..." "Hmm?"

After the Six Paths Sage raised his finger, he could only express that he was powerless: "Your friend should still be alive..."

"Uh, sorry, that's not what I meant..."

Senju Hashirama tried to control his obsession, but he couldn't do it no matter what. He could only try to tell the other party the story of himself and Uchiha Madara.

"Ban and I have been friends for many years..."

Senju Hashirama could only tell his past, talking about his first meeting with Uchiha Madara, how he and Uchiha Madara were forced by their parents to sever their friendship, and how he and Uchiha Madara confronted each other after they grew up and became clan leaders.

"I have never forgotten my friendship with Madara..."

"Even though my father forced me to sever my relationship with Madara, I still hope that Madara and I can be friends. Even if we have to become enemies due to family hatred when we grow up, I still hope to be friends with Madara so that we can join hands to quell the chaotic times..."

"..."

The Six Paths Sage nodded slightly after hearing this.

Because this story is very consistent with the characteristics of the reincarnated carriers of Ashura Chakra. They are kind and sincere, and hope to unite all the forces around them.

"later…"

"I finally did it."

"I joined forces with Madara to establish Konoha..."

The soul of Senju Hashirama missed that time a little, but he had to face the reality that their friendship had fallen apart: "But in the end, Madara and I still had a quarrel. Madara left Konoha and wanted to destroy the village we built together..."

"We have restarted the war..."

The soul of Senju Hashirama was in a heavy mood, and spoke with some pain and struggle: "In order to protect Konoha, I had to hunt down Madara for ten years before I died. Until I died, I had not solved the problem of Madara, and he might still endanger Konoha..."

"It's not your fault."

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head slightly.

Because he knew that Uchiha Madara was the carrier of the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, and people who carried Indra's Chakra would often begin to worship extreme power.

to be honest…

This generation of Ashura Chakra reincarnations is doing very well.

Because he pacified the chaotic wars since the Warring States Period, the Six Paths Sage also highly recognized his achievements. The only pity was that he did not end the war with the reincarnation of Indra.

"so…"

"Will your former friends become your obsession?"

The Six Paths Sage sighed, as if he understood Hashirama Senju's obsession.

"good."

"I want to return to the real world."

Senju Hashirama's eyes gradually became firm, and he pleaded sincerely: "My life is about to run out. Lord Emiya told me that only the Sage of Six Paths can allow me to return to the world after death. He asked me to come here between life and death to seek an audience..."

“Emiya…”

The Six Paths Sage repeated this surname, his eyes lapsed into long contemplation, searching for this surname and a name matching this surname from thousands of years of memory.

"Emiya... Shihara-dono?"

"Correct!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Hashirama Senju's face.

"Mister Emiya..."

A trace of doubt flashed across the face of the Six Paths Sage, and he suddenly raised his finger to find the whereabouts of Emiya Shihara: "I remember that Lord Emiya Shihara has died a long time ago..."

even…

Even after his death, Emiya Shihara was still a good person...

Because he sometimes saw Emiya Shihara's soul often appear in this area from the underworld to save those lost souls, which made him feel a little ashamed.

"Uh…"

Senju Hashirama was a little embarrassed and could only tell him that his brother had used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive Emiya Shihara: "In order to heal my body, my brother used a forbidden technique to bring Lord Emiya's soul back to the world..."

"..."

The corner of the Six Paths Sage's eye twitched.

no…

The descendants of Ashura are also not worry-free...

How dare you disturb Emiya Shihara's peace...

If the souls in the underworld knew about this, and if the souls in the Pure Land of the Underworld could communicate with each other, the caster who desecrated Shigen Emiya's soul would be beaten to death by other souls when he came to the Pure Land of the Underworld after his death...

"You guys really are..."

"audacious in the extreme…"

The Sage of Six Paths showed a bitter smile on his face and couldn't help but sigh: "How can we disturb the peace of his soul?"

"He is a medical saint revered by all humans in ancient times. He is also revered by the dead in the netherworld. Even I am far inferior to him. Using forbidden techniques to summon his soul is a bit disrespectful to him..."

"..."

Senju Hashirama scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"fortunately…"

"Mr. Emiya Shihara is a generous person with a kind heart. He has chosen not to argue with you..."

The Six Paths Sage sighed again, and said with some shame: "I really never thought that he would actually hope that I could help you. Although I feel honored, I may have to apologize to him..."

"I can't do what he did... to save the suffering people in the world..."

"Now I am..."

"Only the remaining chakra is left..."

"These remaining chakras are needed to guard against the real crisis in the ninja world, a crisis that is enough to destroy the ninja world..."
