Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 243 Deceiving the Six Paths

"."

When the Sage of Six Paths had completely merged his will with Hagoromo's, he suddenly heard Hagoromo utter those words, which left him speechless for a moment.

That's a ghost.

Although strictly speaking, I was in a soul state, so saying I saw a ghost isn't necessarily a bad thing.

But isn't it a bit impolite to actually call yourself that?

Of course, he also knew that it was even more impolite of him to suddenly and uninvitedly visit Yuzhi's dream.

But the situation isn't so good now, and he doesn't have much of a solution.

"I'm telling you, child, I'm not exactly a ghost, and you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts anyway."

After a long while, the Sage of Six Paths finally spoke, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"You summoned quite a few souls using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and if I remember correctly, you also have the Reaper Death Seal."

Of course, most importantly, I'm not your enemy, so you don't need to worry so much.

"Yeah?"

Yui looked at the Sage of Six Paths warily, completely clueless about the Sage's purpose.

He knew from the original source that the Sage of Six Paths was full of love for the entire ninja world, but Hagoromo was an outsider.

Now that the Sage of Six Paths has suddenly visited his dream, how can Yuzhi feel at ease?

After a moment of contemplation, Yuzhi felt that he didn't need to be too afraid of this guy; all he needed to do now was stay calm.

Furthermore, he needed to figure out why this guy had come here out of nowhere!

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to me? And judging from your appearance, you seem to resemble those so-called Otsutsuki."

Yui pretended not to recognize the Sage of Six Paths, although strictly speaking, that was true.

But the Sage of Six Paths was somewhat speechless. He sighed helplessly and then shook his head.

"Don't joke around. Don't you know who I am? After all, your bloodline and the power within you are constantly resonating with mine."

The Sage of Six Paths' words made Yuzhi purse her lips. At least let me pretend for a moment, okay?

However, the Sage of Six Paths didn't seem to care too much. He looked at Yuki and continued.

"I came here to see you. I think you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

Furthermore, I have something to tell you, and I also need to tell you some things.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi blinked involuntarily. He had always known that he would probably have to meet the Sage of Six Paths.

But he himself couldn't say for sure when they would meet or what they would talk about.

After all, strictly speaking, the ninja world had already been thrown into chaos by him.

This means that the Sage of Six Paths' mother is unlikely to appear, and the subsequent problem that may arise is that Naruto and Sasuke's fates will also be lost.

Therefore, it's really hard to guess what this guy will say to Yuri.

"So, what exactly does Senior want to tell me?"

After thinking it over, Yuzhi asked in a low voice.

"Also, what kind of news is it that you mentioned, senior?"

"A message that concerns the fate of the entire ninja world."

The Sage of Six Paths smiled, looked intently at the haori, and after a long while, he sighed.

"To be honest, you are really good. Your talent has exceeded my expectations."

Although I've been asleep all this time, I still know a lot of things, and you are the one who truly surprises me.

Although you can obtain my power through the stone tablet left by my younger brother, reaching the Rinnegan is already the limit.

However, you can unravel even more secrets, and even reach this point step by step without relying on the Ten-Tails.

You've broken free from the shackles of life, transcended the levels of existence to reach this stage—you're truly incredible!

The Sage of Six Paths wasn't exaggerating; this was his heartfelt sentiment. Yui's growth was truly unbelievable to him.

Whether it was discovering the secret of the bloodline network by creating bloodline limits through chakra fusion, or modifying an imperfect technique to eventually achieve a bloodline network for oneself.

Or perhaps they discovered the secret of their mother's power through analysis and judgment, or they gained their own power through the stone tablet and coincidence.

All of this proves the power of the Feathered Robe, even though some things are incomprehensible luck to the Sage of Six Paths.

But for the strong, isn't luck also a part of their strength?

At this point, the Sage of Six Paths sat up cross-legged in mid-air, even with a hint of praise.

"Besides that, some of your ideas and actions regarding the entire ninja world are indeed somewhat unexpected, but I must say that each one is worth considering and is very valuable."

Under your leadership, the ninja world has not only been revitalized, but you have also broken the thousand-year entanglement between Indra and Ashura, and are even preparing for future crises.

I must say, you are truly remarkable.

"Forehead"

Yu Zhi looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a puzzled expression. He hadn't expected that everyone in Konoha would be praising him so much.

Turning around, I saw that even the Sage of Six Paths was praising him?

To be honest, he doesn't really care when others praise him, because his strength and achievements speak for themselves.

However, the Sage of Six Paths was different. Not only was he originally from the Otsutsuki clan, but he was also the true progenitor of the Uchiha and Senju clans, and his strength was immeasurable.

His identity as the "savior of the ninja world" alone is something that countless people find hard to imagine.

When someone like that plays, even a haori would be thrilled!

However, Yuzhi remained relatively calm. Although she was happy to receive the "Sage of Six Paths' praise," the old man didn't seem to have clearly explained his purpose in coming to find her.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

After thinking for a moment, Yuzhi nodded with a slight smile before speaking seriously.

"However, senior, it seems you haven't said what your purpose is in coming here."

"Young people are still too hasty."

The Sage of Six Paths was somewhat speechless. He shook his head and then continued.

"I came here this time to remind you that you need to speed up your preparations in all aspects."

Before this, although you defeated Otsutsuki Isshiki, you must understand one thing: Isshiki was unable to exert his full strength at that time.

More than three years have passed, and that guy is probably not far from waking up now.

"Is he waking up? Time really flies."

Upon hearing the Sage of Six Paths' words, Yuzhi raised an eyebrow slightly. He had actually kept this matter in his heart and dared not forget it.

He did defeat Isshiki Otsutsuki, but one can imagine how frustrated Isshiki Otsutsuki must have felt at that time.

Even though ninjas don't have the concept of "winning unfairly," Hagoromo knew many things perfectly well.

Moreover, the fact that this guy can climb back up makes it even more important to be extremely cautious.

Having taken over Obito Uchiha's body, this guy will inevitably be resurrected at full strength, which is a formidable challenge that Hagoromo has to face!

Fortunately, Yuzhi had a relatively good understanding of this guy's general situation, and Yuzhi hadn't been without improvement in the past three years, so he still had some confidence.

"He's definitely a terrifying guy. Once he shows up, many problems will probably become complicated."

Yuzhi nodded, he took the matter to heart, but soon the Sage of Six Paths gently shook his head.

He looked at Yuzhi and spoke with a very solemn expression.

"It's not just one style; your enemy is not only him, but also far more than just him."

"What you mean, senior?"

Yuri's expression began to change. It wasn't just Isshiki; did that mean Urashiki had also climbed back?

Or perhaps, Momoshiki and Kinshiki are about to descend upon the ninja world?

"Yes, other Otsutsuki have also arrived."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded directly, and this news caused Yuzhi's expression to change slightly.

If it's just one or two, then everything is fine; Yuzhi is still somewhat confident in handling it.

Hikari's growth is remarkable. With her talent and the help of the haori, she has already transcended the level of life. When the time comes, she will definitely have no problem facing an Otsutsuki.

But what else is there besides light?

Madara is indeed good, and he has grown, but it's hard to say whether he'll actually fight an Otsutsuki.

Momoshiki and Kinshiki are somewhat better off, but if it's Urashiki, this guy has already suffered a great loss, and Madara is still the same Madara from back then.

If he hadn't completed his transformation back then, that bastard Pu Shi could have played with him at will, like a cat playing with a mouse, which greatly increased the chances of him crashing down.

Madara sealed the Ten-Tails, which in a practical sense means that he crossed the power level and reached the Otsutsuki level.

If the two are combined, Urashiki will immediately launch a "heavy attack" to prevent the situation from developing into a battle of skills and tactics, then Madara will be at a disadvantage!

Add to that Momoshiki and Kinshiki; if these two came alone, it would be fine, but once they've come into contact with the other two, then...

"They will also strike hard, and it's even possible that Momoshiki could swallow Kinshiki whole and then strike hard again."

Thinking about all this, Yu Zhi felt a chill run down his spine. Now he seemed to understand what the old man meant when he came over and told him to speed up.

Indeed, given the current situation, Yuzhi really needs to speed things up. Although the ninja world is almost entirely under Yuzhi's control, the integration process is not yet complete.

His wood clone communicated with the Second Hokage and others in Konoha about how to deal with the war while simultaneously uniting the people and developing the economy.

He is still unaware of the situation on the other side, since he has been on the moon and his wood clone in the ninja world is unaware of what he has encountered here.

After much thought, he realized that he probably needed to go back and learn more about many things in detail.

"Indeed, it seems I need to speed things up."

Yuzhi murmured something, while the Sage of Six Paths calmly looked at him and suddenly asked with a smile.

"So, what are your plans? Are you going to stop your project?"

"."

Yuzhi stroked his chin, feeling that this old man seemed to know quite a lot.

"It won't stop."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhi spoke seriously. Seeing that the Sage of Six Paths seemed to want to say something, he immediately spoke first.

"I know the situation is dangerous, but some things must continue even in danger."

Since you already know our plans, you should also know why we are doing this.

We are also moving forward by upholding the will of our predecessors and making continuous progress by following their ideas.

Although my senior's thinking may seem somewhat detached, when I truly stood in the position of Hokage and considered everything from the perspective of the safety of the entire ninja world...

I only just realized how great my predecessors were. After all, this is a relationship between the whole and the individual. For the sake of the entire ninja world, we must do something.

I think you'll understand me better if I say it this way.

"."

Upon hearing Yuzhi's words, the Sage of Six Paths, who had been wearing a faint smile, instantly froze.

His gaze was deep and fixed on Yuzhi, and for some reason, Yuzhi seemed to read a very subtle meaning in his eyes.

That is, the old man seemed to really want to strangle himself.

"I"

After a long while, the old man finally spoke, but before he could finish, Quan Yuzhi interrupted him.

"There's no need for you to say more, senior. I believe you'll understand!"

"."

I don't understand you at all!

You're the one who slandered me like this, aren't you?

I understand. What kind of person do you all think I am?!

The Sage of Six Paths inwardly groaned with some resentment, but before he could even speak, Hagoromo steered the conversation to the next level.

"Furthermore, senior, since the enemy is coming, we must also strive for the sake of the ninja world. Is there anything you can do?"

"."

The Sage of Six Paths opened his mouth, only to find that all the words he wanted to say were blocked. Helpless, he could only pinch his nose and say something.

"I have a plan. The feud between Indra and Asura should come to an end, but their power will be able to blossom."

As for when to do it, I will carefully consider it, so you don't need to worry about that.

By the way, me.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior!"

After the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking again, Hagoromo spoke first once more.

"Actually, senior, there's another question that's been bothering me for a long time, and I hope that if it's convenient for you, senior, you can answer it for me."

"."

The Sage of Six Paths was about to curse, but he finally spoke up.

"Ask me anything."

"I wonder what your relationship is like with the Goddess of the Rabbit, who is also your mother?"

Yuzhi knew that his repeated interruptions were probably not a long-term solution, so he had to change the subject.

Furthermore, this topic is enough to make the Sage of Six Paths think carefully and explore thoroughly, thus forgetting some unnecessary things.

As for the Sage of Six Paths, there were probably only two questions he cared about most from beginning to end.

One was his mother, and the other was the safety of the ninja world.

If that's the case, then why can't Hagoromo find a good point of leverage to completely divert the Sage of Six Paths' attention?

They've already discussed the ninja world, so naturally it's time to address Kaguya's issue!

"my mother?"

Upon hearing the mention of Kaguya-hime, the Sage of Six Paths' expression instantly turned serious. He frowned and looked at Hagoromo, asking in a low voice.

"Have you seen her?"

"Yes, I've met him."

Yuzhi wasn't lying; he simply nodded.

"When I completed my breakthrough, because my own chakra was insufficient, I needed more power, so I opened a channel to let the Tenseigan's chakra in."

Unexpectedly, that senior also used this channel to project some of his own chakra, and we were able to communicate.

Yuzhi slowly recounted what happened during their last meeting, even mentioning how Princess Kaguya helped him during his complete transformation.

The Sage of Six Paths had a particularly interesting expression. He had indeed sensed his mother's aura emanating from her, but after checking, he found that the seal was not the problem.

This puzzled him for a while; he really didn't know what went wrong. But now he finally understands.

It turns out that this little guy has already met his mother because of his breakthrough!

What frustrates him even more is that it seems his "infamy" is truly becoming "known to everyone".

Even his mother now knows that he is the mastermind behind the entire ninja world!

Thinking of this, even the Sage of Six Paths felt a hardening in his fists.

He originally wanted to punch his younger brother twice, but now he just wants to punch Yuzhi twice. It's that bastard who's been badmouthing him all day!

"Senior, actually I think this is an excellent opportunity."

Just as the Sage of Six Paths was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Hagoromo suddenly spoke, which forced the Sage of Six Paths to put aside his distracting thoughts.

"What are you thinking? Do you even know my mother?"

"I've read some legends and stories, and although they're all inaccurate, I believe they're pretty close to the truth."

Yuzhi spoke with certainty, believing that his "guess" was correct regardless of whether it was a legend or not, because that was the "script".

He smiled as he looked at the Sage of Six Paths, and then spoke with a smile.

"Moreover, there's the 'Moon Eye Project,' which makes me even more confident in my judgment, but I also have a guess."

"Senior, isn't your purpose in doing this to prove something to your mother?"

"prove?"

The Sage of Six Paths was somewhat bewildered. When did I ever think of such a thing?

"Yes, that's proof!"

Yuzhi nodded. He had never lost his instinct to speak freely, to talk nonsense yet make sense.

"Senior, although you did it very subtly, I don't think there's ever any lasting grudge between a mother and son. In my opinion, what you did was just a conflict of ideas between mother and son."

contradiction

The Sage of Six Paths stared blankly at Haori, completely baffled as to what the boy was trying to say.

His mother is going to destroy the entire ninja world, and this is just a simple contradiction?

"Actually, at first I also thought that the 'Goddess of the Rabbit' did a terrible job because she completely ignored our human lives."

Yuzhi began to offer her earnest advice:

"But when I actually broke through to that level, I suddenly understood her choice back then."

"you"

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths frowned immediately, while Yu Zhi remained calm and continued to speak slowly.

"The life level of Otsutsuki is completely different from that of ordinary humans, so there are naturally obvious differences in their views and understanding."

I have read the records of my predecessors, and like them, we both grew up in the human world. I have richer emotions and more comprehensive bonds.

We wholeheartedly acknowledge our identity as "human," and thus we subconsciously overlook our identity as "Otsutsuki," which naturally leads to different motivations for our actions.

However, the "Goddess of the Rabbit" has always been an Otsutsuki. Her growth environment, living space, and her perception and understanding of things have always been different from ours.

Therefore, it's actually understandable that she made a judgment that we found unacceptable and incomprehensible.

The Sage of Six Paths was stunned when he heard these words.

Because for so long, he really hadn't thought about this question!

Yes, he and Yu Yi both grew up in a human environment, so they naturally have a natural affinity for the identity of "human".

But what about their mothers?

They grew up entirely in the strict, dog-eat-dog environment of the Otsutsuki clan, where all other life forms were treated as ants.

How could she possibly look down on humans? How could she possibly have any compassion for them?

"Actually, the goddess of the rabbit is still somewhat merciful to humans."

Just as the Sage of Six Paths was stunned, Hagoromo spoke again, and the Sage of Six Paths looked on incredulously.

He was just thinking that his mother couldn't possibly be kind to humans, how come this kid contradicted himself so easily?

"After all, she could have used a much more brutal method to seize the bodies of all humans and turn them into White Zetsu to serve as warriors."

Yuzhi sighed softly before speaking in a low voice.

"But she still used it, exchanging it for a 'beautiful dream,' even though her body was gone, she gave a perfect ending on a conscious level."

I'm not saying this is good, but rather that the "Goddess of the Rabbit" is inherently kind; otherwise, such a "transaction" wouldn't have occurred.

Of course, kindness is still cruel compared to those Otsutsuki, but have we, as "humans," ever shown mercy to even ants?

The Sage of Six Paths was completely fooled by the haori and was totally lost. Could this be considered a kind of mercy?

But think about it carefully: it's about a human trading with ants, letting them live a wonderful life in their dreams, in exchange for their bodies.

That's incredibly kind!

"So, I've always thought that everything you've done, senior, was just to prove one thing."

Yuzhi didn't care that the Sage of Six Paths was already somewhat bewildered by her words, and she still spoke with a smile.

"That's the kind of humanity she despises, who can use their own methods to resist those external forces."

All of this can be accomplished through one's own efforts, willpower, and even the use of chakra and mastery of tactics.

Fortunately, we now have this opportunity and the ability, and our predecessors can also prove it.

So, I think the conflict between my senior and the "Goddess of the Rabbit" can be eased, right?

At this point, Yuzhi paused, then looked at the Sage of Six Paths, who was staring blankly, and spoke softly.

"Moreover, the senior is definitely not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have been able to come up with such a grand plan."

But no matter how successful the plan is, we need more strength to guarantee the future, so isn't the mother of our predecessors a powerful force?

At this point, Yuzhi stopped, then looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a smile, while the Sage of Six Paths was indeed somewhat delirious at this moment.

Is that really what I think?

I just wanted to prove my mother wrong?

It seems like there is a little bit?

From her perspective, she didn't do anything wrong, and from my perspective, I didn't do anything wrong either.

Therefore, the problem lies in our concepts. Should I try to prove my point to her?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became; the more he thought about it, the more his head ached.

Yuzhi seemed to sense the Sage of Six Paths' helplessness and dilemma. After a moment's thought, he suddenly laughed and then said softly.

"Senior, among my subordinates is an envoy from Mount Myōboku."

"Mount Myōboku? Gamamaru?"

Although the Sage of Six Paths' mind was buzzing, he still managed a forced smile and responded when he heard about the familiar "toad".

"Yes, my subordinate once inherited the will of Mount Myōboku, but he changed later."

Yuzhi nodded and continued.

"He used to be obsessed with pursuing so-called 'prophecies,' believing that some 'child of prophecy' could bring peace to the ninja world."

But now he's more inclined to believe in relying on his own strength and changing everything in his own way.

"Gamamaru, still hasn't changed."

The Sage of Six Paths smiled awkwardly, but he also sensed a different meaning in Haori's words.

"But there's one thing he hasn't changed."

Yuzhi continued, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"That is, he has always held the belief that 'people need to communicate with each other' and 'people need to exchange ideas and understand each other's hearts'."

After all, only communication can dispel misunderstandings, only communication can help us understand each other's hearts, and only communication can make our lives better, right?

"Believe in your own strength, do it your own way. And what about communication?"

The Sage of Six Paths wasn't stupid; after hearing what Yui said, he understood what she meant.

This junior was probably instructing him on what to do, and he did indeed have an idea in mind.

That means he should meet with his mother and have a chat.

It's hard to say what the future of the ninja world will hold, but the appearance and growth of Hagoromo and his friends have already brought tremendous changes to this world.

Moreover, after hearing what Yuzhi said, the Sage of Six Paths had an even more advanced idea.

"Perhaps this is all what I wanted, but I didn't truly understand myself when I did it?"

Better communication between people was his core principle, and the Ninja Clan was founded with the idea of ​​using chakra to help people communicate better.

If that's the case, why didn't he communicate with his mother in the first place?

Why can't you try to understand your own mother?

Perhaps it wasn't that I hadn't thought of it at the time, but rather that I had a stronger desire to prove everything.

"Now that I've proven myself, it's only natural for me to do what I'm doing."

As the Sage of Six Paths thought about this, his resolve hardened, completely unaware that he had been utterly fooled by Yuzhi.

"I understand. I think it's time for me to leave. Thank you."

Raising his head, the Sage of Six Paths looked at Yuki and then spoke with utmost seriousness.

The next moment, his figure slowly began to disappear. Clearly, after making his decision, this guy was now really impatient.

When Yuzhi saw him leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He discovered that this Sage of Six Paths seemed quite easy to fool, but being easy to fool is relative; this guy's strength was truly terrifying!

"This guy managed to enter my dream so quietly."

Yuzhi sighed softly; this meeting had truly moved him deeply.

However, being touched also gave Yuzhi even greater motivation.

He himself desperately desired such strength!

"And after this, the Sage of Six Paths should probably stay away from bringing up anything related to him with me for a while."

-

"I never imagined that this world could be so vibrant. If I hadn't sensed the presence of Urashiki and other ethnic groups, I wouldn't have believed it."

In the ninja world, Momoshiki Otsutsuki casually tossed aside a corpse, his eyes seemingly filled with amusement.

"Moreover, it seems that all the forces in this world have been conquered, including a force called Konoha?"

Besides that, it seems there's really no information about Kaguya or Isshiki in this world anymore.

Otsutsuki Kinshiki stood silently to the side, his mind analyzing the information he had just gathered.

They came to this world naturally to find these two people, but to their surprise, it seems that both of them have disappeared into legend.

And standing at the pinnacle of legend is actually a guy called the Sage of Six Paths, and besides him is the leader of the Konoha forces, Uchiha Haori.

Neither Kinshiki nor Momoshiki knew who these two guys were, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Because they have lived for so long, devoured the life of so many planets, and have long since killed countless beings who claimed to be gods or immortals.

Even if they are all likely members of the Otsutsuki clan, their existence is clearly problematic!

Without a lineage, the Otsutsuki clan posed no threat, at least in their eyes.

"My lord, what are your thoughts on those tailed beasts?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jin spoke in a low voice.

However, one piece of information that they found particularly interesting was the existence of the Tailed Beasts.

These tailed beasts were separated by the so-called Sage of Six Paths, and the target of his separation was the Ten-Tails!

The fact that the Ten-Tails was split up suggests that something interesting probably happened back then.

"Of course, it's the Ten-Tails after all; how could we let it roam freely?"

A hint of disdain appeared on Momoshiki's face, and his gaze was somewhat cold.

"But there's no need to rush. None of this is anything to fear. We..."

As they were speaking, Momoshiki suddenly froze, then looked into the void with some surprise.

After a long while, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"It seems things are more interesting than we thought. Let's go see someone."

"Yes, sir."

Jin nodded, but after a moment he asked curiously.

"Sir, who do we wish to see?"

"An old 'friend'."

Momoshiki chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with amusement.

"Then it is, style one."
