Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Chapter 135 The Opportunity for Change, Chapter Returns

Time travel is Uchiha Kuro's deepest secret. With the knowledge in his mind, he understands all the important moments in the entire history of Naruto.

If the system is the source of his strength, then time travel is the means of exploiting information gaps, allowing him to prepare before disasters occur.

These two things are Uchiha Sora's most core secrets, and he has never revealed a single word about them to anyone, not even his closest friends.

However, at this moment, when the Sage of Six Paths casually uttered the words "demons from beyond the heavens," it was like a thunderclap that exploded in Uchiha Sora's mind. He never imagined that his deepest secret would be seen through so easily by the Sage of Six Paths, as if it were transparent.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Uzuki Kaze had once again quietly fallen into a deep sleep. Since the Sage of Six Paths could briefly awaken him from his slumber, he could naturally make him fall asleep again. Clearly, the Sage of Six Paths did not want the following conversation to be known by a third person, even if that person was a dead man.

In the world of Naruto, the dead are not a source of peace of mind.

Uchiha Sora's face turned from pale to ashen, and his eyes went from shock to gloom.

The Sage of Six Paths smiled slightly, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, holding a long weapon in his hand that shimmered with an eerie luster in the dim light.

Uchiha Sora recognized the weapon at a glance: the Ama-no-Numa Spear, also known as the Sword of the Heart. This divine weapon's power has no upper limit; it depends entirely on the strength of the user's resolve. The stronger the resolve, the greater the power it unleashes.

Compared to his own Kusanagi sword, this Tenma Spear is undoubtedly many times more powerful, making it the undisputed number one divine weapon in the Naruto world.

"Young man, there's no need to be nervous," the Sage of Six Paths said slowly, his voice deep and magnetic.

Uchiha Sora fell into a long silence. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "How did you know?"

He did not choose to deny it. Since the Sage of Six Paths dared to make such a certain judgment, he must have solid evidence. Moreover, he might really be wandering endlessly in this Pure Land. Therefore, despite his inner shock, he still did not choose to deny it outright.

The Sage of Six Paths, with his profound gaze, slowly said, "I went to the real world to investigate some things about you."

"As a genius of the Uchiha clan, you have been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. Most of your ninjutsu are performed with hand seals, and you possess terrifying summoning abilities."

"Of course, while these qualities are extremely rare, there are a few people throughout the history of the ninja world who have achieved similar levels."

"What truly convinced me that you are not from this world are two key pieces of evidence. First, you can use the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan even though you only have two tomoe or even one tomoe Sharingan; second, your soul is still lingering in the Pure Land, unable to find peace."

Uchiha Sora fell silent again. After a moment, he slightly raised his head and asked skeptically, "Just with these?"

The Sage of Six Paths nodded gently, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes, and slowly said, "This is enough. In the depths of my memory, there is only one person whose situation is very similar to yours, and that is my mother. And coincidentally, my mother was not from this world either."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora was slightly taken aback, and a name instantly flashed into his mind: Kaguya. He thought to himself, "The mother of the Sage of Six Paths, isn't that Kaguya? And Kaguya, rather than being from this world, would be more accurately described as an 'alien.'"

After all, Kaguya belongs to the Otsutsuki clan, a race from the universe, so it's only natural that she doesn't belong to the ninja world.

However, Uchiha Sora felt that the aliens were still quite different from him. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe his situation as "someone who doesn't belong to this dimension."

"So, the reason the Sage of Six Paths said I didn't belong to this world was because he mistakenly thought I came from outer space like Kaguya?" Uchiha Sora pondered to himself, his tense nerves gradually relaxing, and he felt much more at ease.

"Fine, I don't belong to this world. My arrival here was just an accident."

Even though the Sage of Six Paths was somewhat prepared, he was still slightly surprised to receive such recognition. He had always admired his mother, and now someone who was just like her had appeared.

Then, Uchiha Sora added, "My situation is rather special. My soul accidentally came to the ninja world, but my body still belongs to this world. So it would be more appropriate to say that I am half a demon from beyond the heavens."

Was it just an accident?

"Yes, it was just an accident."

The Sage of Six Paths scrutinized Uchiha Sora. If it was an accident, he relaxed a bit. In his memory, his mother seemed to be very afraid of the outer world, and the fact that his mother could be afraid meant that there was a terrifying existence in the outer world that surpassed his mother.

"Young man, you should go back. There are many people waiting for you in the mortal realm," the Sage of Six Paths said again.

Uchiha Sora sighed deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness, and said softly, "I also want to return to my original world, but this is a sacred land, and my soul is imprisoned here. How can I go back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He stared intently at the Sage of Six Paths and asked eagerly, "You are incredibly powerful, could you send me back?"

The Sage of Six Paths gently shook his head, his expression calm. "Although I can use some methods in this Pure Land, I cannot send a soul back to the living world."

Then, he abruptly changed the subject, "However, in the living world, there is a genius who has a way to save you."

Uchiha Sora paused slightly, various ninjutsu flashing through his mind, before tentatively asking, "Method... Impure World Reincarnation?"

The Sage of Six Paths smiled slightly. "Impure World Reincarnation? Heh, that is indeed an incredibly magical ninjutsu. However, this technique requires you to be completely dead to be used. But in reality, your body has only lost its soul, but it is not truly dead, and is in a state of being a living dead."

Just then, Uchiha Sora seemed to sense something unusual. He subconsciously looked down and saw tiny particles slowly drifting around his body, which gradually became transparent...

"It seems that the person in the living world has already taken action to save you," the Sage of Six Paths said with a smile.

Uchiha Sora clearly felt a strange force pulling him. He suddenly felt a sense of relief. Now that he was alive, he had countless questions he wanted to ask this legendary figure before him.

"Sage of Six Paths, I have some questions I would like to ask you."

"Please speak freely, and I will do my best to answer your questions."

"Alright." Uchiha Sora nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and said, "Because I am not from this world, there seems to be some kind of world will interfering with my actions in the living world. Do you have a way to help me break free from this invisible constraint?"

After Hanzo's death, he was now 100% certain that the dog system was a shackle imposed on him by the Heavenly Dao of this world. It seemed to grant him immense power, but in reality, this power was meaningless; he couldn't change the predetermined plot development at all.

The death of Hanzo nearly killed him, so how could he possibly prevent the Uchiha clan from being wiped out?

"The will of the world?" The Sage of Six Paths was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing as he fell into deep thought. Although he possessed unimaginable power, this so-called will of the world was something he had never heard of before.

Seeing the Sage of Six Paths remain silent, Uchiha Sora suddenly realized what was happening. He gently patted his head, secretly regretting his foolishness. How could the locals possibly know about something as ethereal as world consciousness?

"I'm sorry, I was being abrupt. This question is far too abstract and has put you in a difficult position."

Unexpectedly, the Sage of Six Paths slowly raised his head and gave an answer that Uchiha Sora did not expect: "No, perhaps there is a way."

Uchiha Sora was taken aback, then a surge of joy welled up in his heart, and he quickly asked, "What method?"

The Sage of Six Paths pointed at the Uchiha's eyes, "Although the Sharingan is inferior to the Rinnegan, in some aspects, the Sharingan can surpass the Rinnegan."

Uchiha Sora pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and his body trembled.

The Sage of Six Paths continued, "Just as you think, the three-tomoe Sharingan, upon advancing to the Mangekyou Sharingan, will be granted all sorts of strange and special abilities, some of which even amaze me."

"And these special abilities depend on what the person who opened their eyes most desires at the moment they open their eyes."

"You currently possess the two-tomoe Sharingan, although I don't understand why you can temporarily use the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, if I'm not mistaken, you should be able to normally advance to the Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps... those eyes can change something."

He learned from the Sage of Six Paths that there might be a way to get rid of the system, but Uchiha Sora did not feel much joy.

He remained silent, not uttering a word. The Sage of Six Paths knew what he was thinking, sighed softly, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Young man, power is never gained without effort. The greater the power you gain, the greater the price you often have to pay."

At this moment, Uchiha Sora's soul had faded, as if a gentle breeze would dissipate it completely. He turned his head slowly, his gaze falling on the sleeping Uzuki Kaze. Uzuki Kaze's face was peaceful and serene, as if the scene of the two chatting just moments before was merely his illusion.

"He must be an extremely important person to you, right?" The Sage of Six Paths followed Uchiha Sora's gaze and looked at the sleeping Uzuki Kaze, asking softly.

"Hmm." Uchiha Sora nodded slightly, his voice gentle. "He was a wonderful older brother, a kind person, but unfortunately..." He paused slightly, "in this cruel world, that kindness only brought pain."

"Then why not try to change this world?"

Uchiha Sora was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at the Sage of Six Paths, his eyes full of confusion. The Sage of Six Paths chuckled and explained, "Neither you nor my mother belong to this world. My mother brought chakra to this originally ordinary world. Her initial wish was that this world could become a better place because of this power."

"However, things are unpredictable." The Sage of Six Paths sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in his expression. "The immense power she brought doesn't seem to have brought peace and tranquility to the world as she wished; instead, it has caused more conflict and suffering. Even being a son is one of the sources of suffering."

"I've pondered this many times: if my mother had never existed, would the number of people who died because of this chakra be less than a tenth of what it is now?"

Uchiha Sora never expected that the legendary Sage of Six Paths would ponder such a meaningless topic.

He gently shook his head. "There are countless forces in the world that can kill. Even without chakra, there are other forces like fighting spirit and spiritual energy. Your idea is utterly meaningless. As long as there are people in this world, there will be conflicts of interest, there will be greedy desires, and death will be inevitable."

The Sage of Six Paths paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he chuckled, a hint of relief in his smile. "I guess I was overthinking it. Indeed, you and Mother are both so extraordinary."

"I'm already looking forward to seeing what a magnificent life you'll write once you're free from the shackles of that so-called world consciousness."

Uchiha Sora shrugged. "Whether he can break free of these constraints is still unknown."

"No, you will definitely get rid of it." The Sage of Six Paths stared intently at Uchiha Sora. "Since you exist, you have a reason for existing. I believe that the reason for your existence is to change this twisted world."

Uchiha Sora opened his mouth as if to say something, but at that moment, his soul seemed to finally dissipate completely...

The sky and earth were dark.

……

Reality, Konoha.

Deep within a cave, a horrific wail echoed.

"Aaaaaah... Help, help..."

"Orochimaru! You will not... die a good death..."

The poor ninja was tightly bound and was experiencing inhumane treatment. He cried out, but to no avail.

Slowly, a transparent soul began to float from his body...

Before him, Orochimaru, wearing a strange mask, was twitching incessantly, performing some kind of special ritual. On the ground were symbols drawn with blood that were completely incomprehensible.

On the other side, Uchiha Sora's "corpse lay on the ground, his hands crossed, his face peaceful."

Slowly, the ninja who had been wailing in pain fell silent, and his transparent soul rose completely.

Suddenly, a wormhole opened up above Uchiha Sora's body, and the next moment, a ball of white flame descended from the wormhole.

Orochimaru's face was contorted with madness, twisting and turning incessantly. As he writhed, blood began to flow from his seven orifices, making him look utterly ferocious. Yet, even so, Orochimaru did not cease the ritual.

The white flame slowly approached Uchiha Sora's body, while a wormhole also appeared above the soul of the other ninja, and his soul moved towards the wormhole.

One emerged from the wormhole.

One of them went into the wormhole.

Until a certain moment, the white flames completely merged into the Uchiha's body.

Orochimaru stopped the ceremony, laughing as he watched Uchiha Sora slowly rise. He stretched out his arms as if embracing something, and laughed maniacally and passionately:

"Welcome back, my dear Uchiha Sora!"

The next moment, Uchiha Sora opened his eyes.
