Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

The Sage of Six Paths was not completely dead. He remained in the Pure Land, silently watching over the Ninja World and observing the endless cycle of reincarnation between his two children.

He never expected that his mother's resurrection would be like this.

He had long foreseen that his mother would be resurrected, but he thought that his descendants would reseal her. However, his mother was about to be resurrected. Instead of Ashura and Indra's reincarnations joining forces to reseal his mother, a native ninja named Kirito Tohsaka took on this important task.

Unfortunately, nearing the final step, this Konoha ninja ultimately failed, ambushed and killed by this evil entity.

He had to descend through the body that now possessed his bloodline and unleash his last remaining power.

"Hehehe~, of course I know you, but never mind, if I want to teach you a lesson, I'll wait for Mom to come. She's already woken up and will be able to see you again soon."

Black Zetsu, controlling Kirito's body, sneered.

At this moment, the Ten-Tails' enormous body was rapidly merging into Kirito's body, making him a true Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Sage of Six Paths was not about to let Black Zetsu have his way, and decisively took action, immediately preparing to unleash Six Paths: Planetary Devastation.

However, Black Zetsu immediately manipulated Kirito's body to use the Lightning Transformation Technique, quickly escaping and preventing the Sage of Six Paths from achieving his goal.

Upon seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths sighed inwardly.

Although he temporarily occupied the body of the White Zetsu clone, he was ultimately a person who had been dead for thousands of years. His soul was very weak, and he only had a small part of the power of the Six Paths left to prolong his life. It was impossible for him to restore his former peak combat power.

"Is bringing Mother back to life the only option?"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed inwardly.

He even knew what the world's fate would be if his mother were resurrected—it would only lead to destruction.

But who can save the ninja world now?

"Hey, grandpa, isn't it a bit unethical to invade someone else's body without permission?"

A voice tinged with annoyance suddenly appeared in the Sage of Six Paths' soul.

Upon hearing this voice, the Sage of Six Paths was not surprised but delighted. Then, in the soul space within White Zetsu's body, the Sage of Six Paths met Kirito.

"Young man, you actually broke free from that thing's restraints, that's wonderful! Quickly take control of this body to stop the enemy. You possess the Tenseigan power at the pinnacle of the Hamura bloodline, you're sure to be able to thwart the enemy's plot."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Kirito and urged him on.

"Don't worry, the main body isn't that weak. Just wait and see, that thing's attempt to control the main body is definitely the most regrettable thing he's ever done."

Kirito's soul clone sneered, his voice filled with immense confidence.

The Sage of Six Paths had absolutely no idea where Kirito's confidence came from. Now that his mother's resurrection was just around the corner, couldn't he be a little more cautious?

In reality, Black Zetsu still firmly controls Kirito's physical body with his unique abilities, giving him no chance to stop Kaguya Otsutsuki from being resurrected from his body.

Soon, Kirito completely absorbed the Ten-Tails into his body, causing a huge change in his appearance. His skin turned pale, like that of the Otsutsuki clan, and his hair also turned white.

Immediately afterwards, a pale white outer garment appeared on his body, with a large number of black magatama arranged neatly on its surface. Truth-Seeking Balls also appeared on his back, and he held a staff formed from Truth-Seeking Balls in his hand.

He became the second Sage of Six Paths after Hamura Otsutsuki.

However, the consciousness that was born within him was growing rapidly, using his body as nourishment to thrive.

If he doesn't save himself soon, he will become nourishment for others in less than ten seconds.

"Great, Mom, you're back to life!"

Black Zetsu had already sensed Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness and was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

It had waited for this day for far too long, countless days and nights. Although it was a long-lived creature and time meant little to it, the loneliness was unbearable.

Finally, it's about to succeed.

This is really great.

"Wait a minute, you piece of trash, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

Just as Black Zetsu was filled with excitement, a cold voice instantly jolted it awake.

"How dare you speak? I had completely suppressed you."

Black Zetsu said, utterly shocked.

The ninjutsu it used on Kirito was a ninjutsu it was born with. It was a Yin Release ninjutsu that combined Yin and Yang Release and was used to forcibly and temporarily suppress and occupy the mind of another person.

It was very confident in its ninjutsu because, through day after day of training in Yin Release, and because it was a special creature formed from Yin Release chakra, its Yin Release level was arguably the strongest in the ninja world. Even its mother and the Sage of Six Paths might not have been much better at understanding Yin Release than it.

It's utterly unbelievable that this human can speak even under the suppression of its Yin Release ninjutsu.

"Suppress? Ah, yes, yes, I was indeed suppressed by you, you bastard, for your lack of martial ethics. Your ninjutsu is really amazing, it can even temporarily suppress someone as powerful as me. Too bad, you met me."

Kirito sneered, and then a powerful Sage Art: Yin Release Chakra erupted from his body, and the Black Zetsu covering Kirito began to peel away little by little.

Why was he able to break free from Black Zetsu's Yin Release ninjutsu suppression?

The reason is simple: he is a cheat code. His Yin Release level was already level five long ago, and he is not far from level six. He has accumulated enough enhancement points without realizing it.

The fates of characters from the original story, such as the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Sakumo Hatake, Dan Kato, and the Third Raikage, were greatly altered due to his influence.

This allowed him to accumulate over twenty enhancement points.

However, given his current level of strength, enhancement points are no longer of much use to him. He can rely on his comprehension to continue to rapidly improve his various abilities, so he has been saving his enhancement points.

Unexpectedly, this accumulated knowledge played a crucial role at a critical juncture.

Even when his body is unable to move, the system can still function normally.

Therefore, after discovering that the ninjutsu Black Jutsu used against him was Yin Release, he decisively added all his enhancement points to Yin Release, raising it to level nine in one go.

His level nine Yin Release allowed him to reach an unprecedented level of mastery over Yin Release techniques, which greatly helped him analyze Black Zetsu's Yin Release ninjutsu. In just one minute, he successfully regained control of a part of his body, just as Black Zetsu was about to be expelled from his body.

"No, you can't send me away! My mother is waiting for me!" Black Zetsu shouted angrily as he realized the situation was getting out of control, doing everything in his power to prevent Kirito from regaining control of his body.

"Idiot, do you think I don't exist?"

The next moment, another voice appeared in Black Zetsu's ears, which quickly filled it with despair and made it extremely regretful that it had not destroyed the White Zetsu clone immediately after taking control of Kirito's body.

In the end, it committed the same sin of arrogance as Madara Uchiha, which is perhaps why it has always looked down on and toyed with the sacrifices of humanity.

Having regained control of his body, the White Zetsu clone swiftly appeared before Black Zetsu, and a blue chakra chain shot out from his hand, rapidly converging on Black Zetsu's jet-black body.

In an instant, Black Zetsu convulsed and detached from Kirito's body.

At the same time, Kirito closed his eyes, his entire attention focused on a certain mental space within his body.

Here, Kirito saw a dignified woman with white eyes and white hair.

She was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki. She had fully awakened, but unfortunately, she could no longer use Kirito's body to descend back into the ninja world.

Chains of chakra, emanating the energy of either Yin Release or Yang Release, bound her tightly, sealing her away.

Immortal Techniques - Six Paths - Yin-Yang Seal!

"Human, who are you?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki now understood that Black Zetsu's attempt to revive her had completely failed, but she seemed unconcerned and asked calmly.

Although her time in waking up was brief, it was enough for her to learn many things. For example, the young human in front of her was the culprit that caused her resurrection to fail, and a mere native human had comprehended the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements at such a young age, and even obtained the power of the Reincarnation Eye.

She had to look at this native human in a new light; he was probably the strongest human in the history of the world.

Such a powerful person deserves Kaguya Otsutsuki's respect.

Kirito replied with the same calm expression, "Tosaka Kirito."
