In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

Chapter 152 Ox Demon: Waaaaah

At this moment, the bull demon exuded a violent aura, its rage filling the sky.

This is the rage of an old bull—the octopus that has been unjustly imprisoned for decades.

Looking at the giant octopus tentacles of the Gyuki, Igogakure had a completely new idea.

"King Mu, you're actually helping humans."

The bull-like creature stared wide-eyed, its anger, confusion, and the exhilaration of being freed all converging together.

"He is different." King Mu shook his head slightly, his tone calm.

"What's the difference? Aren't they all human?"

"He's too strong."

"—Just because of this?" Ushioni asked incredulously.

Who are they?

Tailed Beasts!

They are a force that cannot be ignored in the ninja world.

Even death lost its meaning for them.

One death is but a few years of slumber, and after a few years, one is resurrected as a good beast once more.

So, King Mu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually gave up just because the enemy was strong?

"That's different." Faced with the bull demon's puzzled expression, King Mu had no choice but to reply helplessly.

If it were anyone else who found him, whether it was Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, he wouldn't have done this.

But it is precisely the fifty strings of the song that remain.

This guy is not only powerful, he's also mentally ill!

He didn't just listen to Kushina and the others' conversation for nothing; he wrote down all the key information.

He remembered the information about Yu Ge's mental health issues most clearly.

Being targeted by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha is the worst that can happen; given their style of doing things, they won't actively seek them out unless they directly confront them after being resurrected.

But it's entirely possible that the Fifty Strings are searching the entire world for a resurrected Tailed Beast.

He didn't want to experience being resurrected and not yet having a chance to appreciate the beauty of the world before having his fate choked by the large hand of the Fifty Strings, with one, two, three, four, and then it all over again.

The demon was puzzled, but he did not intend to sit idly by and wait for his death.

Having finally escaped his predicament, he planned to swim in the sea, find a quiet place to sleep, and occasionally eat a piece of fish. That was the kind of life this bull-headed octopus should be living.

He didn't want to get entangled any further. This place was close to Cloud Village, and the two people in front of him were not easy to deal with. There was also an even more troublesome one over there. Right now, he just wanted to live the peaceful life he desired and wait for the boy mentioned by the Sage of Six Paths to appear.

He turned the bull around and froze.

Suddenly, Wu Xian appeared behind him, and when he turned around, he was right in front of him.

Before he could speak, Isogen spoke first.

He smiled, raised his right hand, and a luminous green chakra scalpel appeared. His gaze fell on the Eight-Tails' thick, swaying tentacles.

"Have you ever eaten takoyaki?" Igogami asked abruptly, looking at Gyuki.

A question mark appeared above the bull demon's head.

The next second, I understood everything.

Sizzle sizzle.

The sizzling oil in the hot pan, the pungent chili powder, the fragrant cumin, and the sweet mayonnaise sauce together create a peaceful and tranquil scene.

Kushina, Hyuga Mizuki, and Uchiha Hikaru stared intently at the takoyaki and giant octopus tentacles on the hot plate, their faces showing reluctance.

"Is this really edible?"

Orochimaru provided timely科普 (popular science): "Under normal circumstances, the flesh and blood of tailed beasts cannot be used. Although the bodies of tailed beasts can be cut, they are essentially high-concentration energy bodies. The best outcome for ordinary people who consume them is to explode and die."

The three little ones leaned their upper bodies backward.

"However, there are exceptions. Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who once launched a coup in Kumogakure, were swallowed by Kurama. Not only did they not die, they gained some of the power of the tailed beast by eating Kurama's flesh and blood."

"Why can they?" Uchiha Hikaru asked.

And since it's so dangerous, why can you eat fifty strings?

Orochimaru shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess it's because their bloodline is special."

"Their bloodline is indeed special."

Chew, chew, chew.

Isogen holds a fist-sized takoyaki in each hand, his chakra clinging to his hands without getting oily.

"Both Gold Horn and Silver Horn are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, and are born with some special qualities."

"The Sage of Six Paths?!" Kushina exclaimed in surprise.

Orochimaru's pupils contracted, Hyuga Mizuki's face showed surprise, while Uchiha Hikaru remained unmoved.

King Mu and the bull demon, who had lost two of its whiskers and was bound like seafood in a market, were both invigorated.

The demon stared in shock at the boy who was eating his whiskers.

How could you—

"The Sage of Six Paths really exists?!" Uchiha Hikaru exclaimed in disbelief.

Although she hadn't had a great life before, the legend of the Sage of Six Paths was widely known in the ninja world, even in remote mountain villages.

But that era is too long ago, and everyone regards the Sage of Six Paths as a character in a mythological story, including her.

After all, if the Sage of Six Paths really existed, would the ninja world still be like this?

But what Yu Ge of Fifty Strings said is trustworthy.

Surely he couldn't have just been trying to fool them?

Furthermore, the expressions on the faces of the Eight-Tails and the Five-Tails also provide evidence. Although it is unknown what connection exists between the Tailed Beasts and the Sage of Six Paths, the fact that they have lived for so long is enough to determine that there is indeed some interaction between them.

"Don't be so surprised," Isogen said casually.

He swallowed the takoyaki in his right hand in one gulp, then pointed at Kushina, then at Hyuga Mizuki, and finally at Uchiha Hikaru.

"You, you, you are all descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, and you all have the same bloodline flowing through your veins."

"Hmm? So you're sisters, or maybe aunts? Grandmothers?"

"Stop!" Seeing that Isogen was talking about how much senior he was, Kushina quickly made a stop gesture.

Kushina wiped away imaginary beads of sweat from her forehead with her small hand, feeling ashamed.

No, it's completely wrong.

Everything was fine when I came here, so how come my seniority suddenly increased so much?

[Is Hinata also one?]

Hinata Mizuki holds up a cardboard sign; the gentle and serene little girl has an adorable expression.

Isogen paused for a moment, then replied, "Oh, not Hinata."

Hinata Mizuki nodded, not disappointed by the news.

"Hyuga is the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother."

"Um?!"

This time, the two tailed beasts were truly shocked.

No, what's this guy's background?

They even know that the Sage of Six Paths has brothers.

The most widely known figure in the ninja world to this day is the Sage of Six Paths himself!

Even if clues about a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years are still circulating, the passage of time and changes in materials will make any information more easily obscured.

Could it be that...?

They exchanged a glance, and both read the same thought in each other's eyes.

Is the Fifty-Stringed Song a descendant of the Six Paths Immortal?

They are not descendants of the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, or Hyuga lineages; they are descendants of a direct descendant.

The patriarchs of the ninja world?

Huff, huff.

Orochimaru didn't say anything; he was absolutely ecstatic!

They greedily absorbed this valuable knowledge that was unknown to outsiders.

It's working now, everything is working.

wrong!

He suddenly realized that, according to the relationship between the Sage of Six Paths and that brother, the bloodlines of the Hyuga and Senju could be fused with those of the Uchiha, which meant that there was another source above them.

His heart skipped a beat.

Moreover, he now knows an important piece of information: the Golden Horn and Silver Horn also have the bloodline of the Six Paths Immortal.

We made the right choice, we definitely made the right choice!

This attack was worthwhile!
