Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 375 Is Hyuga Yu the Child of Prophecy?

Madara Uchiha leaped to the vicinity of the battlefield, watched Hyuga Yu and Kaguya exchange blows and then teleport away, and fell silent.

When Hashirama came to his side, he gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. The Infinite Tsukuyomi was Black Zetsu's conspiracy."

"spot……"

Hashirama scratched his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated, they rushed to the battlefield, where they encountered Allied Ninjas and learned what had happened.

Well, when Hashirama heard about Black Zetsu's true nature, he felt that Madara was truly pitiful.

Although the method used was wrong, Ban's desire for peace was genuine. Who could have imagined that the result would be like this?

"Should we chase after them?"

After thinking for a moment, Hashirama suggested in a low voice, "Perhaps we can be of help."

"snort."

Madara glanced at Hashirama, then turned his head and snorted coldly, "We'll only make things worse if we go. Their level is far above ours, and they're all skilled in space-time ninjutsu. We won't even be able to catch up with them."

Although it's hard to admit, in his Edo Tensei state, he and Hashirama would have little effect in a battle of that level.

Hashirama frowned, realizing that Whitehead was right, and sighed helplessly.

Just then, the two were jolted awake and each found themselves in a dark mental space, where an old man sat cross-legged in the void.

"Hmm?" Hashirama looked at the old man warily, focusing on his Rinnegan. "Who are you? Why did you pull me into the spiritual world?"

"Do you... need power?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Hashirama and bluntly stated his opening line, essentially revealing his cheat code: "A power that can participate in battle!"

The person before us is, after all, the reincarnation of Asura; it's better to keep things simple.

"Huh?" Hashirama was stunned.

……

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

Madara crossed his arms, and the moment he saw the Sage of Six Paths' eyes, he understood his identity. "You really didn't die. That makes sense. For such a powerful being as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to be unable to escape death is truly disappointing."

"Death? Judging by the definition of common sense, I am already dead, but my soul is not yet."

The Sage of Six Paths gazed into Madara's eyes, looking at the Rinnegan that was exactly like his own, and felt a mix of emotions. "Just like Indra who once existed within you."

Seeing Madara frown and look puzzled, the Sage of Six Paths explained in a low voice, telling Madara about the grudges between his brother and Kaguya, and the conflict between Indra and Ashura.

He thought that Madara would focus his attention on Kaguya after hearing these words, but instead he heard Madara questioning him.

"So, Black Zetsu is the problem you overlooked? He altered the Poneglyphs you wrote, leading me toward a false goal, ultimately resulting in Kaguya's release?"

"...That's right."

The Sage of Six Paths was powerless to refute.

It was indeed due to his negligence in monitoring Black Zetsu; he failed to detect the other party in time, leading to Kaguya's release...

Wait a minute, something's not right, is it?

The Sage of Six Paths suddenly realized what was happening.

He didn't realize that Black Zetsu was real, but did Black Zetsu contribute to the resurrection of his mother? Wasn't he just getting by without lifting a finger?

It was Hinata Yu and his younger brother who truly resurrected their mother.

He won't take the blame for this!

What is this "history text"? There's no such thing in this world!

The four main historical records are all fabricated; they are lies told by Hyuga Yu!

The Sage of Six Paths wanted to retort, but seeing Madara staring at him coldly, he sighed.

Indra was initially a good child, fair in rewarding and punishing, and caring for his relatives and friends. It was his parenting methods that led him astray.

Madara, being the reincarnation of Indra, was tricked by Black Zetsu and has the right to resent him.

"It was my mistake to fail to handle Black Zetsu properly, which is why I've come to you now to correct this error."

The Sage of Six Paths stared at Madara, "Your Rinnegan has been taken by someone else, but the essence is still there. I can revive you and give you a portion of my power to help you awaken your Rinnegan again."

"I once chose to believe in Asura without considering Indra. Now, I want to entrust the future to the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Ban narrowed his eyes.

Without the Sage of Six Paths saying more, he knew that his generation's Asura would definitely be Hashirama.

"According to you, Indra and Ashura have already been reincarnated. Without them, how could Hashirama and I accept your power? Why not seek out this generation of Indra and Ashura?"

"They are still children."

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, recalling the Dragon Vein incident three years ago, and continued:

"Moreover, time is in a closed loop. Their reincarnations will one day return to this era, and then Indra and Asura will reconcile and return to the Pure Land together."

"So strictly speaking, there will no longer be suitable reincarnations, because when they grow to the appropriate age, they will return to this era and lose Indra and Asura."

"As for the lack of Indra and Asura... even among all the reincarnations, you are the most outstanding. You have fully inherited their power, and even surpassed it. You are absolutely capable of inheriting my power."

Madara nodded thoughtfully, then looked up and asked, "You mentioned before that one of your friends is a toad who can make prophecies, the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, right? He prophesied that the ninja world would be saved by a blue-eyed boy, bringing about change. That boy is Hyuga Yu, who awakened the Tenseigan? Since he's there, why give us more power? Don't you believe him?"

You really have a lot of questions.

The Sage of Six Paths nodded helplessly. "That should be it. The changes Hyuga Yu has brought to the ninja world are obvious to all, and the color of his Tenseigan matches. Moreover, from my observation, his mother is no match for him, and he is about to defeat her and save the ninja world, which fits all the characteristics of the prophecy."

This is also why he didn't make a move against Hyuga Yu. After all, even that toad wasn't in a hurry, seemingly accepting that Hyuga Yu was the child of prophecy and waiting for him to seal Kaguya.

However, one thing is one thing. According to Gamamaru, if misguided, even a prophetic child can destroy the world.

"Although Hyuga Yu is the child of prophecy, he is too obsessed with power, and I am worried that he will go astray. Giving you and Hashirama power is both an extra layer of insurance to defeat Mother and also to stop Hyuga Yu if necessary."

Madara seemed unconvinced. "I don't think there's anything wrong with being obsessed with power. You've got the wrong idea. Even if I have a grudge against him, as long as he doesn't disrupt the hard-won peace, I won't lay a hand on him."

"Also, I didn't just bring up that toad to talk about the Child of Prophecy. If you give me power, I might use it on your toad friend."

Does that toad that tricked him still remember?

However, after being resurrected, he never found an opportunity to take revenge.

Now that he knows the other party's backer is the Sage of Six Paths, Madara Uchiha's desire for revenge... has grown even stronger!

He's Madara Uchiha, he doesn't care about any powerful backers! Even if it's the Sage of Six Paths who governs the Pure Land!
