Just as Itachi Uchiha single-handedly slaughtered the Uchiha clan to maintain peace in the village, Sasuke Uchiha could become a sharp sword hovering above the Five Kage, forcing the five great ninja villages to unite for survival.
In this way, the entire ninja world would fall into a relatively peaceful state, and he could completely replace the will within Indra's chakra, grow old, choose a new body to be resurrected, and thus stabilize the order of the entire ninja world.
To accomplish all this, the first person to be dealt with is Naruto Uzumaki, a guy whose fighting strength is comparable to his own and with whom he has a deep bond. The second person is to obtain Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan to make up for his physical shortcomings.
This is Sasuke Uchiha's current plan. If he were to launch a sneak attack now, that would undoubtedly be the best option. However, Sasuke Uchiha wants to defeat Naruto Uzumaki in a fair and square manner, thereby severing this bond completely.
-----------------
The moment Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, patterns of yin and yang appeared in the hands of the Sage of Six Paths. Upon seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths smiled slightly and then began preparing the summoning ritual.
Upon seeing the Sage of Six Paths smile, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju immediately understood what had happened. They then obeyed the Sage of Six Paths' command and prepared to use their remaining time to summon the hero who would defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki.
With a flash of the Sage of Six Paths' staff, several souls returned directly from the Pure Land. These were the Kage who had not been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, that is, the Kage of other ninja villages throughout history. Even the Sage of Six Paths could not directly summon them from the space of Amenominaka, let alone the fact that the space of Amenominaka was blocked by that guy named Hiroji.
However, with the help of past Kage-level ninjas and the densely packed Edo Tensei ninjas, it is still possible to complete the summoning. What he is more curious about is how to solve the problem next.
The number of ninja who died in this Shinobi World War was far too great. If the Impure World Reincarnation were to be directly undone, the five great ninja villages would probably be paralyzed. But there was nothing he could do about it; he could only wait and see how to deal with the people who had returned.
As the summoning incantation was completed, the Sage of Six Paths tapped the ground with his staff once more, and the eight tailed beasts appeared instantly. The Eight-Tails were so small that the ninjas in the distance couldn't even see them, so they naturally didn't attract any attention.
"Welcome back... to save the ninja world..."
As the Sage of Six Paths spoke, he sensed something was amiss. The size of the Eight-Tails wasn't the problem; the problem was whether something was wrong with the three people who had returned alive.
There's nothing wrong with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, but why was Obito Uchiha, who was supposed to be sealed together, also summoned? Even if his mother didn't want to be with him before she was sealed, shouldn't there have been four of them?
"Where is Hongzhi?"
Tsunade's voice came from afar. Naruto, who had just reacted, changed his expression and then spoke with a serious face:
"He sacrificed himself to give us the opportunity to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki."
Naruto's words made the ninjas who harbored some resentment towards Hongzhi feel their heads buzzing.
Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously stared at Obito Uchiha, only to find that Obito was turning his head with his dying body to look at Madara Uchiha in the distance.
"I... I was also scammed."
Noticing this, Madara Uchiha spoke with a bitter tone. After receiving this answer, Obito Uchiha slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
At that moment, the red barrier that had been shrouding Amegakure in the distance dissolved, and a dazzling white light enveloped the area.
"what is this?"
Chapter 470 Dawn of the Ninja World
While everyone was astonished, a white light enveloped the entire area, and then the Sage of Six Paths, the only one unaffected by the white light, discovered something particularly terrifying.
When the white light envelops the reanimated ninjas and the souls he summons, it gradually transforms their reanimated bodies into flesh, which means resurrection!
And Obito Uchiha, who should have died, began to gradually regain his vitality under this influence...
"Oops!"
The Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but speak up. If it were just about reviving the ninjas who died in this battle, there would certainly be no problem. But the problem now is that it's not just the ninjas who died in this battle who are being revived, but also those who were resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Even those Kage he pulled directly from the Pure Land—in other words, by the time the resurrection ends, there could be five Kage on Konoha alone, not even counting those with Kage-level strength.
There's no way to stop it, not even you.
Just as the Sage of Six Paths was about to do something, he suddenly heard this sound, and then he saw a phantom figure appear behind Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, who were unaffected.
The person was entirely black, appearing as if he had no physical form. Upon seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths immediately thought of Black Zetsu, who had been lurking in the ninja world for a long time.
But it seems different; compared to Black Zetsu, this person is more like someone whose entire body is covered in black!
What exactly are you?
Sasuke Uchiha, who also noticed this, suddenly turned around to look at the object that resembled Black Zetsu. Although it looked exactly like Black Zetsu, Sasuke Uchiha, who had witnessed Black Zetsu being sealed, was certain that this was definitely not Black Zetsu.
"He originally intended to use this last resort to resurrect the ninjas who died in this war, but the person in charge of the Impure World Reincarnation resurrected those ninjas who shouldn't have been here in the first place, which led to the current situation..."
The man in black explained to himself, while the Sage of Six Paths was speechless. In other words, this was the last method that Hongzhi used to revive the ninjas of the five great ninja villages. However, because his comrades who used the Impure World Reincarnation revived those ninjas who had already died, as well as the souls he pulled from the Pure Land to summon Naruto and the others, the worst situation occurred!
"how so."
Naruto, who also received an explanation, felt a chill run down his spine. Although he desperately wanted Jiraiya and his father to be resurrected, it would definitely cause chaos, and there were far more than just one or two people who had been resurrected.
It is foreseeable that the entire ninja world will become even more chaotic, and may even trigger a ninja world war that surpasses this one.
"How should I know? All I can do is make the world a better place..."
The man in black spoke casually. Just as Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were about to do something, the man in black arrived behind the Sage of Six Paths at lightning speed and then bound him.
The Sage of Six Paths was both surprised and bewildered. It was certainly surprising that this guy could touch him, but what could he do after touching him?
"The Pure Land does not belong to you. I beg you, Sage of the Six Paths, to die."
The hoarse voice came again, and the Sage of Six Paths turned around in surprise and saw the very familiar Death God mask, and the pure white eyes under the mask.
He wanted to do something, but the invasion of the alien energy made it impossible for him to speak. Not only that, but he was also directly suppressed despite having the Rinnegan. The Sage of Six Paths had never even imagined such a thing.
The Sage of Six Paths donned a black coat, and his Truth-Seeking Ball and staff vanished, replaced by a mask that sent shivers down one's spine with just a glance.
"A brand new world is about to begin, so let me add a final touch of madness to this world."
The black-clad man's cold yet manic voice rang out, followed by a pristine white portal appearing above Amegakure. One soul after another flew out of the portal, leaving Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki staring in astonishment at the scene.
They instinctively tried to stop the man in black, but at that moment, the appearance of two souls stunned Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
The souls of Kushina with her fiery red hair and Mikoto Uchiha with her gentle face fell directly into that pure white light.
Upon witnessing this scene, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki immediately stopped what they were doing. If so many people could be resurrected, why couldn't they?
This question arose in their minds, causing their bodies to freeze instantly, and they no longer had any desire to continue to stop them.
"This can't go on!"
Looking up at the pristine white gate from afar, Kurama felt a sense of despair. If things continued like this, all those who had died in the ninja world would be resurrected. Putting aside everything else, it was questionable whether the entire ninja world could even support these people.
What exactly does the man in black want to do?
They temporarily suppressed and sealed the Sage of Six Paths, and then wanted to revive the soul of the Pure Land directly using the resurrection method left by Hongzhi.
This idea was something Kurama simply couldn't understand. Surely he couldn't possibly want to save the entire ninja world in this way?
Look over there!
Just as Kurama was wondering what was going on, Shukaku's voice suddenly came. Kurama looked over instinctively and saw the man in black who had opened the resurrection portal appear right next to Uchiha Sasuke. He then raised his hand and removed the Rinnegan from Sasuke's left eye.
Who exactly are you?
Sasuke Uchiha, having lost his Rinnegan with six tomoe, tried to do something, but ended up being kicked away so fast that even Naruto Uzumaki, who was standing not far away, couldn't react in time.
What followed was an even more shocking scene for Naruto Uzumaki: Sasuke Uchiha, who was flying in the air, was suddenly stopped by a man in black, and his right eye, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was taken out.
"So fast!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to help Sasuke Uchiha, but unfortunately, even the speed of his Truth-Seeking Balls couldn't keep up with the man in black. This made Naruto, who had just sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki with Sasuke Uchiha, feel extremely desperate.
After retracting Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, the man in black rushed toward Obito Uchiha, whose body had just recovered, at an extremely fast speed.
"Naruto! To break free from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, we need the Rinnegan. If all the Rinnegan are taken away, then everything is over!"
Noticing this, Kurama couldn't help but speak up. It's impossible for a resurrected ninja to possess the Rinnegan. This means that if the man in black were to take Obito Uchiha's Rinnegan, those who were previously trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi would become sacrifices to the Divine Tree.
Damn it!
Upon suddenly hearing Kurama's voice, Naruto Uzumaki felt something was off, but after understanding what Kurama was trying to say, Naruto's expression twisted in disgust.
So that's what that guy's purpose was?
Naruto Uzumaki sprinted away at an incredible speed, but just as he approached Obito Uchiha, his only Rinnegan was snatched away.
After obtaining all the special eyes, the man in black did not leave immediately, but smiled slightly and began to form hand seals!
Naruto immediately became alert, but the next second the man in black had already completed the hand seals and then vanished without a trace.
"what happened?"
Naruto Uzumaki was caught off guard. He didn't sense any danger and it seemed that the man in black had completely left. However, Kurama clearly sensed that the first batch of resurrected Edo Tensei ninjas were directly teleported out of Amegakure.
The Holy Healing only covers this area. If the dead are resurrected here, it will definitely lead to an uncontrollable situation. However, if the successfully resurrected people are allowed to leave, it means that this area can become a resurrection field!
"The glimmer of hope for the ninja world has turned into the beginning of despair!"
Having figured all this out, Kurama felt incredibly conflicted. Hongzhi's plan could be considered a glimmer of hope, but the man in black had taken advantage of that, completely changing everything...
Chapter 471 The Death of the Sage of Six Paths
"Is this the right one?"
Near the Hokage's office building in Konoha, Orochimaru calmly looked at the cocoon hanging on the Divine Tree and said, with Karin beside him. Their mission was very simple: once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted, they would take Kudo Yuuya directly to Mount Myōboku.
"Yes."
Karin answered calmly. During her time at Mount Myōboku, she successfully gained power that she could never have imagined before, but she did not achieve her original goal. That person did not need her power at all. All she could do was occasionally cooperate with Orochimaru to complete some missions.
"If something goes wrong, we might end up hanging directly from the tree."
Orochimaru said helplessly. He was quite envious of Karin, since she had faced almost no danger along the way, while he had nearly died several times.
If it weren't for his diligent efforts in Ryuchi Cave, he would probably be one of those resurrected by Edo Tensei now.
"Forehead....."
Karin remained indifferent. Although she didn't know exactly what Hiroji had done, seeing Orochimaru, who had once been considered an antagonist, being so cautious, she roughly understood that the man was not gentle. On the contrary, in the eyes of someone like Orochimaru, he was incredibly cruel.
"Actually, there's no need to worry. Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is broken, these people will all return to normal, and we'll have enough time to find Kudo Yuya and take him away."
Seeing Karin's strange expression, Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly. Although he couldn't understand why that girl wanted to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Orochimaru was certain that she was definitely not the kind of person who would pity these ninjas.
Perhaps this time the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted only to prevent some unexpected events from happening, or perhaps he simply couldn't attend to this matter for the time being.
Karin rolled her eyes at Orochimaru. As fellow members of Mount Myōboku, Karin and Orochimaru had developed a fairly good relationship over the time they spent together.
Of course, all of this was because Orochimaru dared not lay a hand on her, and the reason for this was because she was his former savior.
Will she be able to live on in peace?
Stopping her thoughts on these unimportant questions, Karin asked curiously. Although they hadn't had much contact, Karin thought that Kudo Yuya might not stay obediently on Mount Myōboku, especially after learning that Kōji was the root of all destruction.
Why should we tell her the truth?
