Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"...You little brat, get out of here!"

The old man Liudao's face darkened, and he almost lost his temper. He kicked the shameless bastard away in a huff.

He hadn't originally intended to meet this shameless little rascal, but seeing how he was fighting bravely for the peace of the ninja world, even more so than his two own sons, he figured since he had already given him a gift, he might as well give him another one as a reward for the little rascal.

But this little rascal, the moment he walked in, he wanted to recognize me as his father.

Although he strongly suspected that this little rascal might be the reincarnation of his drunken child—otherwise, how could he be so powerful, perfectly mastering Sage Mode, and even going toe-to-toe with the reincarnation of his previous eldest son who had already entered the true Six Paths Mode? Although he, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was a dashing and debonair young man, he was ultimately a respectable person. He only needed two sons, Ashura and Inshura, for his entire life. Moreover, to protect his reputation, even if this little rascal was indeed the reincarnation of his drunken child, he absolutely could not acknowledge this son; acknowledging him would ruin his reputation in his later years!

But this little rascal was actually quite proactive...

That's absolutely shameless!

1205. We'll take as much as we can.

"No! Father! Please don't disown me!"

Despite being kicked away, Masato wasn't discouraged. He pounced again and clung tightly to the old man's elephant leg. In the face of such a generous gift, what did face matter? Was it tasty?

"You brat, let me go! I'm not your father, and I have nothing to do with you! I am the Sage of Six Paths!"

The old man with the sixth path, his face dark, tried to kick the utterly shameless brat away again, but the brat was holding on too tightly, and he couldn't get him off...

However, when talking about his identity, he was full of pretentiousness, looking at this little rascal with disdain, as if to say, "How can you have a father like me, the Sage of Six Paths?"

"...Sog! So you're the Sage of Six Paths...uh...the Sage of Six Paths! You've come at the right time. The ninja world you established is about to be destroyed. Look at me, I've fought tooth and nail for the sake of your ninja world, and I'm covered in sweat. But that guy outside is probably your grandson from who-knows-how-many generations ago. My idol is too powerful, I can't handle him. You'll have to deal with it yourself."

Seeing the old man's expression, he knew there was room for negotiation. Since there was room for negotiation, he was too lazy to acknowledge a thief as his father. Having such an ugly father was not something to be proud of. The next second, he immediately wiped away his tears and said in a serious tone.

In negotiations, the first step is to seize the initiative and let the other party know how difficult they are to deal with before you can negotiate a lower price. Unlike the savior and the second male lead, who are silly and inexperienced, taking whatever they are offered, they simply lack life experience!

“…”

This little brat's change of attitude was too sudden. The old man of the Six Paths, who had been dead for who knows how many years, was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite process it. One second he was practically begging for his attention, the next he was acting like he was trying to negotiate...

"Old Man of the Six Paths... Immortal? Don't you have anything to say?"

Seeing that the old man of the Six Paths remained silent for a long time, Shinto felt a little uneasy. Could it be that his tricks were ineffective against such an ancient relic that had been around for thousands of years?

"...You don't doubt my identity at all?"

The old man of the Six Paths remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence. Although he had been dead for hundreds of years, his soul had been wandering the ninja world. According to the normal understanding of people today, if someone said that he was the Sage of Six Paths, they would definitely be considered crazy.

But this little rascal doesn't seem to suspect anything at all, which doesn't make sense!

"Tch! I've been in the ninja world for so many years, I've seen it all. Besides, don't let my usual crazy antics fool you, I'm a legitimate top student from Sunagakure. But... since you've asked, just take it as a suspicion..."

He'd been around for decades, and the old man Liudao's demeanor clearly indicated that he was being asked to be his straight man, to set the stage for the story to come. For the sake of the lavish gift package, he gave him that face!

"Hmm! Speaking of which, do you know how the ninja world came into being?"

The old man gave him an approving look. This little rascal, though despicable, shameless, and utterly shameless, had to be admittedly wiser after a while. Unlike his two sons' reincarnations, who had absolutely no sense of propriety, he'd said so much but couldn't utter a single word...

"I really don't know!"

Shinto cooperated perfectly with the old man's head shake, as if to say, "Please speak if you have something to say."

The savior and the second male lead also shook their heads.

"Hmm...Back in the day, a thousand years ago, there were no ninjas in this world. There was a divine tree, and my mother... "

The old man nodded with satisfaction. This little rascal is indeed a talent!

Then he began to tell the story of his family. Perhaps because he had been lonely for too long and no one had talked to him for many years, the old man of the Six Paths was quite talkative. He rambled on for several hours about how his mother came into this world, how his two sons fought for the throne, and how his nominal third brother, Fumio, caused his two sons to fight each other in reincarnation. Masato was almost asleep listening to him, but he still managed to get the big gift and stayed awake. Luckily, this was the old man of the Six Paths' mental space, which gave him time to be so carefree. If the time here was equal to the time outside, he would have ruined the ninja world long ago.

"So, all those troubles in the ninja world over the years were caused by your good-for-nothing son and your nominal third brother? And your nominal third brother's ultimate goal was to get your mother, who was sealed on the moon by you and your biological brother? And the reason your mother caused all that trouble was to escape that lonely, desolate moon. Your mother is the progenitor of all chakra in the ninja world; she came out to reclaim all the chakra in the ninja world. You dragged us into this so you could stop your mother from breaking free of her seal, or prevent her from destroying the world? Wait, this relationship is a bit complicated. Let me sort it out..."

As Masato spoke, his words became slurred.

"...You're not wrong."

Even the old man of the Six Paths almost got caught up in his tricks. After sorting things out on his fingers, he nodded.

"That's going to be tough! Your mother is the progenitor of chakra, and only the moon can seal her. Even you and your brother, who are both incredibly powerful, could only seal her together. We couldn't even handle the reincarnation of my idol, who is also your eldest son, outside. Let alone your mother, who can only be sealed by you and your brother. We're just weaklings, this is going to be a disaster..."

Shinto looked troubled. It was a rare opportunity to see this old guy, so he figured he'd take whatever he could get. Anyway, the savior and the second male lead were enough for sealing things up. He wasn't the reincarnation of the Six Paths Old Man's son, so he didn't have the means to seal him.

The most important thing now is to figure out how to get as much benefit as possible from Old Man Liudao.

He was exhausted just fighting Madara at his peak Six Paths level. He must be out of his mind to go after Kaguya. Anyway, the ending has a savior and the second male lead... oh! There's also a real Kakashi Musashi who's evenly matched, which is enough. He might as well just stick to getting some benefits and playing a minor role.

"...It's because you're not yet capable of dealing with Madara Uchiha and my mother that I've brought you in. Originally, I only needed Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, because they are reincarnators of this generation, possessing the reincarnation power of Ashura and Inshura. However, just in case, I've brought you in as well."

The old man said irritably, if he wasn't worried that his two sons, who were reincarnators in this generation, were too weak to handle their mother, he really wouldn't want to give this little brat a big gift.

I even badmouthed him before, and now I have to give him a huge gift. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I've eaten shit. Besides, this little bastard is a seasoned veteran; talking to him about justice and conscience is useless. He's not so easy to fool!

1206. The Otsutsuki Family's Farce

"Sogatari! You saw what happened when I was fighting my idol. I thought I was powerful enough with my perfect immortal technique, but I didn't expect his mode, which looks like yours, to be even more powerful. It's like he's cheating! And your mode is pretty cool. Just transform into your mode!"

Shinto couldn't help but wipe his drool, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as he looked at the old man of Six Paths. If he could also enter Six Paths Mode, there would be no need for a savior or the second male lead; he could beat Madara to a pulp himself...

"...Six Paths Mode requires someone with the guidance of reincarnation and destiny, and also someone with the Ten-Tails' chakra within their body to activate. Even if you really are my son, without the guidance of destiny, you cannot enter Six Paths Mode..."

The old man Rokudo shook his head with a dark face and said a lot of nonsense that Shindou couldn't understand.

Damn it, I knew this little bastard would ask for an exorbitant price...

"Crack!"

Shinto felt as if he could hear his own heart breaking. Although he couldn't understand the words, he grasped the general meaning: even if you're my illegitimate son, you're too low-level to enter Six Paths Sage Mode...

"Then why did you drag me into this?"

Masato pouted in annoyance. He thought to himself that he had been a child star in the Sand Village for decades and was always the center of attention, but now he was being told that he was too low-class.

"I told you the truth that you can't enter the Six Paths Mode, but I didn't say I wouldn't give you the power of the Six Paths. Whether you can control it or not is up to you."

As the old friend of the Six Paths spoke, he waved his hand and a golden light split into three, entering the bodies of the three people. Then, he gently sent the savior and the second male lead with pants out, and then kicked Shinto, who was still receiving the power of the Six Paths and was a little confused.

The first two are his sons, so naturally I'd be gentler with them. But this shameless brat who's repeatedly slandered his reputation is only suspected of being his son, so I won't hold back. A little more force is fine; what if he isn't...?

.....

"Hiss...that old guy..."

Suddenly, Shinto opened his eyes, rubbing his rear end where the old man had kicked him. He gasped in pain; it was a pain from the depths of his soul, indescribable...

When he turned around, he saw that the Savior and the second male lead were already fighting Madara. Green-skinned Guy was already lying on the ground with barely any health, only barely clinging to life thanks to the Savior's Yang Release chakra. He was in even worse shape than Madara, whose entire body was charred by the chakra erupting from the Eight Gates...

"Teacher, what's going on? When did these two kids become so strong? They can even go toe-to-toe with your idol! My God..."

"Conan's dad" stared in shock at the savior and the second male lead who were going toe-to-toe with Madara in the air. Before Madara swallowed the Ten-Tails, these two kids, along with the First Hokage, were brutally beaten by Madara. Now, they were able to go toe-to-toe with the even more awesome Madara. It was as if they had cheated.

(⊙_⊙)？

Everyone looked at Masato with question marks on their faces. They had all seen how powerful Madara was now. Even the green-skinned Guy with all eight gates open could only kick Madara twice. The two kids who had been getting beaten up before suddenly became like Super Saiyans. This was too sudden. They had just seen them with their eyes closed, and after opening their eyes, they became so fierce.

It's really a bit mystical; even the two generations of top scientists, the Thousand-Handed Master and Snake, who are both highly learned and talented, couldn't explain it.

"Well... it's a long story. It's about an old man who had nothing better to do and his brothers sealed away their mother. Then, his two sons, also with nothing better to do, started causing trouble and making a mess of the ninja world. As the saying goes, 'If the sons are not taught, it is the father's fault.' So, to make up for the mistakes his sons had made over the years, this old man pulled these two brats and me into his mental space and gave them something. That's how these two brats ended up like this. In short, it's a family farce in the Otsutsuki family, from motherly love and filial piety to fatherly love and filial piety."

Shindou looked at the savior and the second male lead in his pants with considerable displeasure and said.

He suspected he'd been tricked by the old man of the Six Paths. They both received the same Six Paths power, yet the second male lead's eye had turned into a circle, and the savior had even activated a new mode. He couldn't see any difference in himself. He looked in the mirror; his eyes hadn't changed, and his body still had two arms and three legs... Had the old man of the Six Paths given him a worthless promise?

(⊙_⊙)?

Everyone was completely baffled, having no idea what this guy was talking about. What was this about a son beating his mother, and then about maternal love and filial piety, paternal love and filial piety... what kind of nonsense was this?

"...The old guy you're talking about is the Sage of Six Paths?"

Not everyone was completely baffled. At least the top scientists had more imaginative ideas, and seeing the changes in the savior and the second male lead, Snake Uncle roughly guessed some of it.

Senju the Second Master also looked at him with the same doubt. His guess was the same as Orochimaru's, but he was not one to speak carelessly. He would not speak out before he had evidence to prove his guess.

After all, the Sage of Six Paths is only a legendary figure; his existence has never been confirmed in history. And this kid has way too much information—he even has information about the Sage of Six Paths' mother...

"Well, I don't need to explain anymore, he came out himself and told you the story."

Masato pointed to a golden figure that suddenly appeared in the sky above them. "The ancients just loved to make a grand entrance; they even had to put on special effects..."

.....

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

In the air, the Savior and the Man were like they were on drugs, going head-to-head with Uncle Ban. An idol is an idol, worthy of being the chosen one of the previous era. Even though the Savior and the Man had already activated all their cheat codes, they could still barely manage to go toe-to-toe with him.

The main reason is that Madara's experience in taking on multiple opponents at once is just too damn rich. From childhood to adulthood, apart from his one-on-one fight with Senju, Madara has always been able to take on five or more opponents at once. He has honed all kinds of skills to the extreme, and he has too much experience in fighting outnumbered and breaking through defensive formations. On the contrary, neither the savior nor the second male lead has a fraction of Madara's experience in fighting.

The second male lead might be a bit better, since he came from Snake's youth training center and has more skills. But the Savior is like a max-level, fully-trained character with no skills in the competitive scene. His level and attributes are all there, but he has no skills, and his fighting style is too one-dimensional. He just charges in mindlessly and gets played by Ban. The second male lead has to clean up his mess from time to time, otherwise even if he were max level and fully-trained, he would have been brought to near death by Ban long ago.

1207. This kid is better at talking than doing.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Duang!"

"Snapped!"

The tedious 1v2 duel by Uncle Ban continued. The Savior was like a max-level, max-stat character with no skill points – his tactics remained unchanged. Uncle Ban capitalized on this, ignoring the second male lead's attacks and relentlessly hammering the Savior. The second male lead, even in a one-on-one fight, couldn't beat Uncle Ban. He tried to team up with the Savior for a doubles fight, but the Savior was constantly being attacked by Uncle Ban and couldn't coordinate a defensive strategy. The second male lead could only barely manage to intervene when the Savior was about to be knocked down...

"You little rascal, hurry up and get him!"

The old man of the Six Paths, who was telling everyone the story of the Otsutsuki family, stopped halfway through when he saw the reincarnation of his two sons. He couldn't compete with Madara, so he not only stopped but also urged Shinto, who was sitting on the sidelines doing nothing, to hurry up.

"What's the rush! The way people are killed now is different from your ancient times. Do you think it's still the era where blowing a small fireball would scare people? There are too many tricks and strategies now. Strength alone isn't enough; you also need experience. Look at this kid who's getting beaten up; he's clearly a newbie at fighting. If we don't let him spar with my idol now, what if your top-tier boss mom comes out later? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble..."

Masato stretched and pursed his lips. "Damn it, I've been begging for favors and trying to curry favor in the space, and I haven't received a single thing. Now they want to get something for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Uh-huh....."

The people watching the battle nodded in agreement.

Golden Lion is absolutely right. That kid is a complete novice at fighting, he doesn't know any fighting techniques at all. The fact that he's managed to hold on this long is really due to the Sage of Six Paths' favored son's halo...
