I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 355 Extraterrestrial Visitor, Slapping the Face of the Six Paths [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Sasuke, everyone, look how many people have been sacrificed this time!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at everyone with anger, pointing to the corpses scattered all over the ground. Too many people had died in this Fourth World War.

"It's because of your ambition! Everyone's dead!"

At this moment, Naruto pointed at Yoru Uchiha with an angry expression, while the Sage of Six Paths silently nodded.

"Ambition?"

Facing Naruto Uzumaki and the Sage of Six Paths, Yoru Uchiha gave a mocking smile.

"You bunch of people clinging to the corrupt old era, using so-called mutual understanding as a shield, are nothing but servile thinking, clinging to the old name of decay."

"The so-called mutual understanding and peace you speak of is simply that everyone in this world gets tired and exhausted from fighting, then they rest for about ten years, recover, and then continue fighting, right?"

"Such wars are repeated every ten years or so, and this is what you call peace."

Seeing that Naruto was about to argue, Uchiha Yoru coldly shouted, "Shut up! You brat with a problem in your head."

"The Sage of Six Paths beside you has clearly possessed the power to overwhelm ninjas for the past thousand years, but did the war stop him?"

In response to Uchiha Yoru's words, the Sage of Six Paths said firmly, "I am already a dead man, how can I concern myself with the world of the living?"

"Heh, what a joke, a huge joke. So what are you doing now?"

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's mocking smile, the Sage of Six Paths retorted, "This world will be destroyed if Kaguya's mother descends! I cannot allow that!"

"Shut up, you bunch of babbling idiots. I've had enough of your so-called morality and righteousness. To put it bluntly, your brains have been brainwashed by this world, and you refuse to accept the arrival of a new era."

Uchiha Yoru, who was slowly flying through the air, stood in the sky and looked at Naruto and the Sage of Six Paths with a pathetic smile.

"No wonder Ashura gained your approval. It turns out you're both the same kind of people, both enslaved by the Daimyo, choosing the so-called idea that mutual understanding leads to peace. But what's the result? Has the war in the ninja world ever stopped in these thousand years?"

Impulsive Naruto glared angrily at Yoru Uchiha, pointing at the mess scattered everywhere, "And what about you! For your ambition, look how many people have died. Your so-called peace is nothing but your own ambition."

In response to Naruto's questioning, Yoru Uchiha gave a self-deprecating smile, glancing at the Konoha members. "Ambition? Did I ever deny it?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Konoha, Uchiha Yoru opened his arms and stated frankly, "I, Uchiha Yoru, have never denied my ambition, but my ambition is based on peace, and that is an indisputable fact."

"A thousand years! You've spent over a thousand years proving the failure of your so-called understanding, your so-called daimyo system. Isn't a thousand years of war enough? Can't you recognize the mistakes this world has made?"

"The world I, Uchiha Yoru, will create will be ruled by gods. So what if there is mutual hatred! With me here, even the deepest hatred will be suppressed. In just a hundred years, all hatred will vanish with the wind."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru proudly pointed at Naruto and the Sage of Six Paths, declaring, "I! Am the god of the new era, and I will possess a long lifespan; this is peace!"

"Now it's your choice!"

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's judgmental questioning, Uzumaki Naruto angrily roared at everyone, "No! This is nothing but selfish ambition. This is not peace at all. Don't believe it. True peace is only when everyone understands each other..."

Under Naruto's enthusiastic persuasive talk, the Konoha ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment, but the first one to speak was quite surprising.

Then Hashirama Senju stepped forward, scratching the back of his head and laughing heartily. "Naruto, I also worked hard to achieve peace through mutual understanding, but as you can see, only a few decades have passed since I died, and countless wars have already broken out in the ninja world."

"Perhaps Uchiha Yoru is right. We need to try new things, a new world."

"Tch." The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, but her actions made it clear that she had sided with Uchiha Yoru.

"Yo yo, it seems we have to make a major choice for the ninja world today: one is to stay in the same old world, and the other is to enter an unknown new world."

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, spoke with a teasing and charming tone, while the Fifth Kazekage, Yoru Kura, simply smiled calmly and said, "The corrupt old world has lasted too long."

One by one, people began to line up. At this moment, a flash of green light appeared, and Might Guy, panting as he returned after opening the seventh gate, laughed loudly: "Haha, it seems that I, Might Guy, was the better player at the beginning. I almost needed to open the eighth gate."

In the distance, the Fourth Raikage, A, lay unwillingly in the pile of stones, his eyes filled with death, his body still steaming. One can imagine how intense the duel between the two taijutsu ninjas was.

"Haha, Naruto."

At this moment, the green-clad figure who had rushed back, Matt Kai, laughed wildly and gave a thumbs up.

"I don't know what the new era is like, nor whether the future is right or wrong, but I do know the horrors of the first three ninja wars."

"First Shinobi World War, number of Konoha ninja killed... civilian deaths... Second Shinobi World War, Konoha ninja casualties... civilian casualties... Third Shinobi World War..."

Might Guy, reflecting on the casualties of the Three Shinobi World Wars, finally looked at Naruto Uzumaki and said earnestly, "Naruto, I personally experienced the Third Shinobi World War. Do you know how long that war lasted? Do you know how many Konoha ninjas died?"

"Let me tell you, the number of ninja casualties in this so-called Fourth Shinobi World War may be staggering, with so many dying in just a few months. But now that the war is about to end, the overall number of ninja casualties is less than that of any of the previous three Shinobi World Wars!"

"Even this Shinobi World War didn't involve many civilians."

As he said this, Might Guy, panting heavily, looked up at Uchiha Yoru and gave a determined smile.

"Haha, I believe in a saying: those who don't work hard will only stay in the same place, while as long as you work hard, you will succeed sooner or later. Haha, although I haven't beaten Kakashi and Yoru yet, I will persevere."

Although Matt Kay is hot-blooded and impulsive, he is also wise beyond his years, and he is very firm on matters of principle.

"Naruto, I went into exile during the Second Shinobi World War. The number of civilian casualties during the war was terrifying—war, famine, plague, and so on..."

Standing behind Jiraiya, Nagato's face showed pain. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, he said in a deep voice, "So what if it's ambition? This is a new attempt, not a repetition of everything that happened before."

"Naruto!" Even Jiraiya showed a complicated expression. He once thought that Naruto was right and the First Hokage was right, but so many years of personal experience and bloody reality told him that perhaps they were all wrong.

"Naruto, the ninja world has been like an illusionary world for the past thousand years, with wars constantly repeating themselves. So peace is only temporary."

One by one, familiar figures chose to stand behind Uchiha Yoru. They had already paid so much, and had even touched victory, and now you're telling me that this is wrong?

So what was the point of all that they did?

Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure all resolutely chose to stand behind Uchiha Yoru. Regardless of whether the so-called peace in the future is right or wrong, they have won the victory and should naturally enjoy the fruits of it.

You're asking them to give up the fruits of victory and go back to the situation of five countries? How is that possible?

"Everyone! Why?!" Naruto stared at everyone in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why.

"Naruto, since you've been trying to achieve this so-called mutual understanding for over a thousand years, and while I wouldn't call it a failure, it certainly hasn't brought peace, why don't you try this new direction?"

Kakashi Hatake also shook his head and chose to take sides. Although Naruto Uzumaki had the legendary Sage of Six Paths backing him this time, it was clear that their side's backing was not weak, and perhaps even stronger.

"Naruto!"

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki were about to say something when the Sage of Six Paths interrupted them with a solemn expression.

"Naruto, look into their eyes. They think they are the victors and greedily want to enjoy the fruits of victory. How could they possibly listen to you?"

Looking at everyone, the Sage of Six Paths said in a hoarse voice, "Their eyes are almost entirely filled with desire, and desire only brings war."

"Naruto!" Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at Naruto Uzumaki. "I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time. Don't make a move!"

Driven by the destiny of Indra and Ashura, Naruto's expression instantly surged with emotion upon seeing Sasuke, and he roared, "Sasuke, I will never give up!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Naruto Uzumaki said in a deep voice, "I will defeat all of you, become Hokage, and utterly thwart your ambitions."

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, you've delayed for so long, are you ready?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoru's sarcastic remark echoed across the battlefield, startling everyone.

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, looked at Uchiha Yoru and Black Zetsu with a serious expression. "Since you know I'm stalling for time, why don't you stop me?"

"Prevent?"

Looking at the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Uchiha Yoru sneered, "You just want to stop Kaguya's consciousness from descending and being resurrected, right? Then look at Obito."

At this moment, Obito, whose heart had been ripped out, looked weak and drained, showing no sign of changing to carry on Kaguya's consciousness.

In the original timeline, the Kaguya that Black Zetsu resurrected through Madara was not actually a complete resurrection, but rather a resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness, while her body remained sealed on the moon.

"You're stalling for time by using the power left behind by Hamura Otsutsuki to reinforce the seal on the moon, trying to prevent Kaguya's consciousness from breaking through."

After his attempt to stall for time was exposed, the Sage of Six Paths stared intently at Uchiha Yoru with a grim expression. At that moment, it seemed as if the entire ninja world had given up on them.

"You won't succeed, and I won't let you succeed! The descent of the Rabbit Goddess will only bring war. Since you keep saying you want to bring peace to this world, then what are White Zetsu?! Why don't you tell them?!"

With a cold laugh, the Sage of Six Paths began to slowly recount the events of a thousand years ago in front of everyone.

After the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking, Orochimaru stepped forward from the crowd with a hoarse laugh.

"White Zetsu, are you talking about those stubborn losers now?!"

It seemed to be referring to the defeated ninjas on the battlefield being rolled up one by one by the Divine Tree, and countless White Zetsu being rolled up and hung from the tree trunk.

At that moment, everyone seemed to understand something. Uchiha Yoru even mocked, "Is it wrong for the victors to use the corpses of the defeated in war? Don't even mention the new era, hasn't it been like this for thousands of years in the old era?"

"Since you've told them all this, why don't you mention why Kaguya created this army of White Zetsu in the first place? The world had already been pacified back then, but there were still some who escaped, like the Ran toads of Mount Myōboku."

When the toad was mentioned, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but reveal a murderous intent. "This world will soon face an even stronger enemy. Even Kaguya would have to fight with all her might and wouldn't dare to say she could win for sure, but you don't take it seriously and even think it's alarmist."

"The Otsutsuki clan originates from other worlds. This race is born with immense power, requiring no training like ordinary people. They can even use the 'Karma' seal for reincarnation and resurrection, making them beings beyond death. Their primary goal is to plant Divine Trees in various worlds, devouring all life to harvest chakra fruits..."

As Uchiha Yoru recounted the story of the Otsutsuki clan, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

"But there haven't been any Otsutsuki enemies as you mentioned all these years. I have been monitoring this world for a full thousand years."

It is clear that the Sage of Six Paths chose not to believe the so-called enemies of the Otsutsuki clan, and even thought that they were just lies fabricated for the sake of his ambition.

Just then, the Divine Tree trembled and instantly condensed terrifying chakra, and the flower buds at the top of the Divine Tree began to bloom.

buzz~

"The intensity of this chakra is even more terrifying than the Ten-Tails from before."

"What terrifying chakra! Is this the combined chakra of countless ninjas and tailed beasts?!"

To the astonishment of countless people, the flower bud suddenly emitted a beam of blood-red light, which shot directly toward the red circle in the sky.

At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths was shocked. "This! This is preparing to break the seal from the outside!"

From the very beginning, it wasn't the original plan to bring Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness down to revive her. Instead, it was to use the power of the Divine Tree to break a gap in the seal on the moon and inject a massive amount of chakra power.

Kaguya has completely broken the seal and appeared in the world.

However, at that moment, two white figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

"How interesting. When I first came to this world, I couldn't sense Kaguya's presence at all. I thought she was hiding. Turns out she was sealed away. How embarrassing."

Suddenly, two mysterious figures appeared, one thin and one fat, accompanied by terrifying chakra. At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths froze, and his face showed shock.

Sigh, I got so much flak after yesterday's update, my Dao Heart almost collapsed. I thought this handwritten chapter was really good. Sigh, I stayed up all night last night to revise it.

I originally wanted to write a wonderful ending, but I can only do my best to write the last few chapters well.

Chapter 2 will be updated later, I'm currently writing it...
