I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 607 The Era of Ninjas Will Eventually End! (The End)

"Feather Robe..."

Nara Rinka's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously began to draw upon the natural energy around him.

The Hokage's office, where he often stayed, was also decorated with a small rainbow ice wall device.

This small office is one of the places in Konoha Village with the most abundant natural energy.

While secretly mobilizing natural energy, Nara Rinkachi pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

"You're a ninja from the Hagoromo clan?"

He was playing dumb, but Nara was serious about pleasing the cassia tree.

"Or perhaps, a 'spirit of the Uchiha clan' like Madara Uchiha? Or a spirit of the Hagoromo clan?"

The Hagoromo clan was a real family in the history of the ninja world.

However, it only existed in history.

Before Nara Ranka was even born, the Hagoromo clan had already become a thing of the past.

But Nara Rinkasa used the Hagoromo clan as a pretext, which conveniently diverted the topic of the person in front of him who called himself "Hagoromo".

Using Naruto Uzumaki's body, he said, "I am Hagoromo."

The true identity of this special soul that appeared in the Hokage's office couldn't be clearer—

The legendary progenitor of ninjas, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!

Nara Rinka's heart was roaring wildly.

He didn't go to the Pure Land, and he didn't even have time to get close to the Land of Demons.

I thought that the decision of when to meet the Sage of Six Paths was in my own hands.

But then the Sage of Six Paths came knocking on our door?!

I wasn't prepared at all!

"There's no need for that, Hokage of Konoha."

Naruto Uzumaki—or more accurately, the Sage of Six Paths—said calmly.

"I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and also—"

"Kaguya's son."

Upon hearing this, Nara Rinka, who had been pretending to be stupid, immediately calmed down.

He previously captured Black Zetsu in the Land of Fields by utilizing the special mechanism of the [Amber Bottle].

Anyone who responds to the person holding the Amber Vase will have their words absorbed and sealed away by the Amber Vase.

The sentence that Nara Ranka used to attract Black Zetsu's attention was—

"Kaguya's Son"!

Now that the Sage of Six Paths is repeating this phrase in front of Nara Rinka, it is undoubtedly a way of being frank with the latter.

The Sage of Six Paths has been keeping an eye on the Fourth Hokage!

With this in mind, Nara Rangsuke no longer tried to evade the issue.

"The Sage of Six Paths".

Nara Lan Gui spoke indifferently.

Welcome!

Nara Rinkaku verbally expressed his welcome.

Even the Sage of Six Paths, an ultimate otaku who had spent thousands of years in the Pure Land, could sense the other party's indifference.

"The Hokage of Konoha".

The Sage of Six Paths didn't take it to heart and continued to speak in his distinctive tone.

"Today, I borrow the body of an Asura to discuss important matters with you."

"hehe."

Nara Ranka picked at his ear and sneered.

"It's all so flowery and pedantic; the era of immortals is over."

"Yes, this is no longer my era."

The Sage of Six Paths changed his tune very quickly, as if he didn't need any time to adjust.

"Fourth Generation, I'm very curious about you."

Nara Rinka's eyelids twitched.

Using Naruto Uzumaki's face to speak the words of the Sage of Six Paths would be quite eerie.

But to use Naruto Uzumaki's face and tone to speak the words of the Sage of Six Paths would be even more terrifying.

Ashura's body is truly...

Nara Rinka did not respond to the Sage of Six Paths' words.

The other person continued talking on their own.

"In—well, let's just call it 'Black Zetsu,' that's what you've always called that chakra creation of your mother."

The Sage of Six Paths asked curiously.

"Fourth Hokage, how did you know about Black Zetsu's existence? And how did you know about the relationship between Black Zetsu and his mother?"

"However, I need to remind you that Black Zetsu is not considered a son of his mother."

"Hamura and I are the mother's sons."

A filial son who sealed away his own mother?

Nara Rinka pursed her lips.

"I know a lot."

"indeed."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded.

"Not only that, you also have many secrets about you that even I don't know."

"When you sealed Black Zetsu away, I was planning to have a chat with you."

"But it was then that I realized I couldn't enter your mental world."

Enter...my mental world?

Nara Rinka's already unfriendly gaze suddenly cooled down considerably.

"You mean—[Six Paths Immortal Arts: The Technique of Binding One's Own Karma]?"

"I don't know what you ninjas like to call this ninjutsu."

The Sage of Six Paths said frankly.

"However, I can indeed communicate mentally with any creature that possesses chakra through chakra."

The Sage of Six Paths, the progenitor of ninjas, and the founder of the Ninja Sect.

It is said that in ancient times, the Sage of Six Paths shared chakra with humans, which led to the birth of ninjas.

of course.

Nara Rangsuke is skeptical of this.

Because, judging from the examples of the Outer Path Demon Statue and the 100,000 White Zetsu.

Even in Kaguya's time, there were already other humans besides the Otsutsuki family who possessed chakra power.

However, one thing is certain.

Regardless of whether the source of chakra is Kaguya Otsutsuki or Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Chakra has an original source!

Now, Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki is sealed on the moon by the [Rokudo: Chibaku Tensei].

The Sage of Six Paths might be the only source of chakra!

In this way...

The Sage of Six Paths used chakra to communicate mentally with other chakra-wielding ninjas.

It's not something that's absolutely impossible.

On the contrary, it is an operation that has been feasible since ancient times.

Not to mention that the Sage of Six Paths is currently using Naruto Uzumaki's body!

Naruto Uzumaki, the reincarnation of Ashura.

His chakra is definitely different from that of ordinary ninjas!

(During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sage of Six Paths used his power-up abilities to influence Naruto Uzumaki's mental world.)

Regarding the fact that the Sage of Six Paths can influence, or even manipulate, the body of the reincarnation of Ashura.

Nara was somewhat surprised, but not entirely unable to accept it.

However, this does not mean that he is willing to accept the invasion of his spiritual world by the Sage of Six Paths!

"So you mean you originally planned to invade my mental world and then communicate with me?"

"I am not your enemy, Hokage of Konoha, and you do not need to speak to me in such a hostile tone."

The Sage of Six Paths said calmly.

"However, I did intend to do that, just not as... sharp as you said."

The excitement of admiring the osmanthus blossoms in Nara gradually subsided.

No matter how annoyed he was by the sudden appearance of the Sage of Six Paths.

There's no way to change the current situation.

Unless, Nara Rinkazu can defeat the combination of "Naruto Uzumaki + Sage of Six Paths" in front of him.

But this is undoubtedly quite difficult.

Nara Rinka took a deep breath.

"Okay, so what are you planning to talk about?"

"How did you eliminate your own chakra?"

The Six Paths Immortal asked.

"In ninja terms, how did you resolve the [Six Paths Sage Art: Self-Karma Binding Technique]?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I can't sense the chakra within you, I wouldn't need to use such a troublesome method of communication at all."

That's right!

Nara Rinka has already resolved the [Six Paths Immortal Technique: Self-Karma Binding Technique].

They may have already resolved this problem long ago.

The solution isn't particularly difficult.

"I have completely sealed away my chakra."

Nara Rinka manipulated a shadow, sealing all of his chakra within it.

"Then, the instinct to create chakra was completely suppressed."

"What I possess now is purely physical and mental energy."

Self-sealing of chakra.

This suggestion came from the Temple of Fire.

On the day Nara Rinkei achieved "Pure Sage Mode"—a Sage Mode driven entirely by natural energy without the need for chakra—he voluntarily sealed his own chakra.

It was also on that day.

The [Six Paths Sage Art: Self-Karma Curse Technique] that had been hanging on Nara Rankei's panel has completely disappeared.

Since then.

Nara Ranke realized that the Sage of Six Paths maintained the [Six Paths Sage Art: Self-Karma Binding Technique] through chakra!

There is no chakra.

They are not within the influence of the Sage of Six Paths.

After glancing at "Naruto Uzumaki," Nara Rinka added another comment.

"This was a suggestion from the Fire Temple. Now it seems to be working exceptionally well."

The effect is absolutely outstanding!

If Nara Rinka doesn't resolve the [Six Paths Sage Technique: Self-Karmic Curse] in time...

He will probably become a puppet of the Sage of Six Paths, just like Naruto Uzumaki is now.

This is a situation that Nara Rangka absolutely cannot accept!

"So it's the Ninja Sect..."

The Sage of Six Paths sighed.

"But besides physical and mental energy, there's probably also natural energy, right?"

"certainly."

Nara Rinkei didn't believe that the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't be able to sense the fluctuations in natural energy, and nodded in agreement.

"Natural energy and sage techniques are my greatest assets as an ordinary ninja."

Without superior bloodlines, one cannot even mutate.

The Sage of Six Paths, who possesses "alien blood," is well-qualified to speak on this matter.

His mother possessed the Byakugan and the Rinne Sharingan.

The Sage of Six Paths inherited the Rinnegan, while Hamura Otsutsuki inherited the Tenseigan.

Then, starting with Indra, no other descendant possessed such a high level of bloodline limit.

It wasn't until Madara Uchiha fused with Hashirama Senju's chakra that he "awakened" the Rinnegan.

But that was also a low-probability event that occurred only when the Sage of Six Paths' chakra was resonated and guided.

Madara Uchiha's absolute limit was the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

Even the reincarnations of Indra are like this.

Not to mention the other ordinary ninjas.

Like Orochimaru, who longed to become the God of Shinobi.

However, compared to Hashirama Senju, there is probably a Naruto Uzumaki (non-Six Paths version) between them!

"Indeed."

The Sage of Six Paths did not deny Nara Rinka's opinion.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries...

The Sage of Six Paths finally steered the conversation back on track.

"Fourth Hokage, I am delighted that you were able to seal Black Zetsu away."

Nara Lan Gui remained unmoved.

"oh."

"Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha, and Nagato, you have already taken care of all three of them."

"Um."

"Then I think Mother will never escape the seal again."

"perhaps."

Nara Ranke finally understood why the Sage of Six Paths had come looking for him.

The other party also came to visit because of their own mother!

Have to admit.

The Sage of Six Paths is indeed right.

Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha, Nagato.

The three were dealt with.

The possibility of Kaguya Otsutsuki breaking free of the seal has become zero.

Especially the loss of Black Zetsu's activities.

It's highly unlikely that Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki will ever escape again.

Nara Rangsuke's strongest potential enemy in the future is probably, well...

It seems like it's no longer available.

"I don't know how you found out about the relationship between Black Zetsu and your mother."

As the Sage of Six Paths spoke, a shimmering light began to emanate from Naruto's body.

"But I am very grateful to you."

"Fourth Hokage, the future of the ninja world and the peace of the world are entrusted to you."

"The future of the ninja world?"

Nara Rinka watched as the Sage of Six Paths' soul ascended to heaven, then completely relaxed and stretched out a big yawn.

"What era are we living in? World peace?"

"The era of ninjas is coming to an end!"
