Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

His strength has now completely reached the Six Paths level!

Based solely on my current self,

I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Hashirama Senju.

Therefore, he set his sights on the other most powerful ninjas in the ninja world.

Hopefully, these ninjas can help him deal with Hashirama Senju!

Although Yotsuki and the others are comparable to Hashirama Senju...

There is still a significant gap.

But these few were already among the most powerful ninjas the Sage of Six Paths could find!

The Sage of Six Paths believed he could help them raise their strength to another level.

Although alone

They are definitely no match for Hashirama Senju!

However, four people teaming up would definitely increase their chances of winning!

"The Sage of Six Paths...can we really defeat that monster?"

"His strength is simply too great..."

"Last time, even the four of us working together couldn't block a single punch from him..."

"And I have a feeling that that's not even his true strength..."

Yoru looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a worried expression.

After hearing what Ye Yue said, the other three...

They all recalled the scene of the last battle!

If the Sage of Six Paths hadn't personally sought out the four of them...

And they told them they could defeat Hashirama Senju.

There's absolutely no way those four would ever have the courage to face Hashirama Senju again!

The confidence of the four people

Since the last battle with Hashirama Senju

It has been completely shattered!

"Speaking of which... this matter is entirely my fault..."

“If I hadn’t trusted him so much, he wouldn’t have grown to where he is today.”

"His strength has improved so quickly, and I deserve some credit for that as well."

"But don't worry, if I can help him improve his strength, I can naturally help you improve yours too..."

"The four of you have already reached the limit of what ordinary ninjas can achieve... and you're only one step away from the Six Paths level..."

"I can help the four of you take this final step..."

"In this way, the four of you are at least on the same level of strength as Hashirama Senju. If the four of you join forces, you can definitely deal with him."

Even if the Sage of Six Paths said so,

The worry on their faces

It didn't lose any points because of this!!!

Shihe asked in a deep voice.

"But you also mentioned the Sage of Six Paths, didn't you..."

"You were the first to help Hashirama Senju awaken the Rinnegan and reach the Six Paths level of strength."

"Even if you help the four of us, we will still reach the Six Paths level."

"Hashirama Senju is so much ahead of us. With that monster's rate of progress, who knows how far he has gone?"

"Even if the four of us team up, it would be difficult to defeat him."

If the other ninjas of the Land of Earth knew that Ishigawa could actually say such things...

They'll definitely bulge their eyes out!

In the Land of Earth

Shihe is practically invincible!!

He's now a legendary ninja in the Land of Earth!

All the ninjas in the Land of Earth acknowledge that Ishigawa is the strongest ninja in the Land of Earth!!

But their country's strongest ninja is so afraid of Hashirama Senju?

Even if the Sage of Six Paths declares his support for him,

He has so little confidence in himself!

"Impossible!! Don't worry!!"

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head.

Speaking up dispelled their concerns.

"Once you reach the Six Paths level, your strength will undergo a qualitative change."

"The advancement at each stage of the Six Paths level is extremely difficult. Even if Hashirama Senju reached the Six Paths level before you, he could not advance as quickly as before."

"From the initial stage of the Six Paths Realm to the next stage..."

"The gap between them is even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and someone with your level of strength..."

"So don't worry, even if Hashirama Senju is stronger than you, it won't be by much."

"The reason you were defeated by him so easily last time was because there was a qualitative difference in your strength compared to his."

"Once I help you reach the Six Paths level, you'll understand what I mean..."

After hearing what the Sage of Six Paths said,

The four of them then relaxed.

[Jiraiya: Why is the Sage of Six Paths meddling in the affairs of the ninja world again? Didn't he entrust the future of the ninja world to the First Hokage?]

Orochimaru: He probably didn't expect... that the First Hokage's actions wouldn't go according to his plan at all...

[Tobirama Senju: Ha! As long as things develop according to my brother's plan, although there will be a considerable price to pay in the short term, in the long run, it will definitely bring about fundamental changes... The Sage of Six Paths is too short-sighted!!]

[Uchiha Madara: The Sage of Six Paths!! Nothing special. His underhanded tactics are utterly disrespectful. If he truly harbored resentment towards Hashirama, why didn't he speak to him directly? Does the Sage prefer these backstabbing schemes?]

[Hashirama Senju: ...The Sage of Six Paths seems a bit too hasty. Although I also have some doubts about what my other self is doing, it seems... he's doing a better job than me... Let's keep watching, maybe there will be some new developments.]

[Nagato Uzumaki: The Sage of Six Paths... what a hypocrite... So many wars have happened in the ninja world, why hasn't he personally stopped them? The world is clearly developing differently now, yet he wants to stop Hashirama Senju? I think he just wants to treat the ninja world as his private property!!]

……

Within the Pure Land space,

The Sage of Six Paths saw the comments from the viewers in the live stream.

I was so angry I was shaking all over!

You guys!!

If it weren't for me and Hagoromo sealing away our mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki...

Where would you be today?!

A bunch of ungrateful people!!

However, the Sage of Six Paths probably knew why his counterpart in the other world was doing this.

I have always believed that unifying the entire ninja world by force is not the right path.

Strength is not the deciding factor.

Only love in people's hearts can influence each other.

However, after the development of this world...

The Sage of Six Paths gradually changed his mind.

He discovered that the world seemed to be trapped in a bizarre, vicious cycle.

Historically, there have been systems like those established by Hashirama Senju that created ninja villages.

There have been brief periods of peace, too.

However, the endings are quite similar.

Once this powerful being dies...

The brief peace he has created will crumble in an instant!

The wars that will erupt in the ninja world later will be even more intense than before!!

The affected area will be larger, and the number of casualties will be greater.
