Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Thus, the second Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was born!

"Is this the power of the Ten-Tails? I'm afraid even if Naruto Uzumaki came, he wouldn't be a match for me."

Madara Uchiha was full of confidence at this moment.

"Not necessarily."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Madara Uchiha turned around abruptly.

It's Naruto.

And for some reason, Madara Uchiha inexplicably felt that Naruto's aura was actually above his own at this moment...

Chapter 159 The Sage of Six Paths Admits Defeat

When Naruto woke up in a state of confusion, he was initially somewhat disoriented.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

He felt as if his memories had turned into a mess of mush, impossible to sort out no matter what he did.

However, as those memories flashed through her mind, she gradually remembered everything.

I am Naruto, I am in the Pure Land, and I will complete the ritual to reach the highest peak!

And then, the ceremony was completed in the next moment.

Naruto opened his eyes and found that his consciousness had first appeared in the Tailed Beast Space, where the nine Tailed Beasts were arranged in a circle, and he was located at the center of the circle.

"Looks like the ceremony was a success, Naruto, congratulations." Kurama grinned.

Naruto greeted the tailed beasts and then looked ahead.

Unlike last time, this time there was another person present besides Naruto and the nine tailed beasts.

This person floated in mid-air, sitting cross-legged, with a long beard, horns on his head, and a white robe with several black magatama on the collar. Behind him floated the Truth-Seeking Jewel and the Six Paths Staff.

Although it was their first meeting, Naruto recognized the other person immediately.

The Sage of Six Paths.

"Naruto, successor to Ashura, the day for our meeting has finally arrived."

Naruto blinked and said, "First of all, I am not Ashura's successor."

"Secondly, can you speak in a more normal way?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked embarrassed and helpless: "After thousands of years, changes in language are inevitable."

"However, that's not the point. Let me introduce myself first. I am the one who established the Pure Land. My name is Hagoromo, the founder of the Ninja Sect, and I am also known as the Sage of Six Paths."

Naruto wasn't surprised by this; he had learned a lot about the Sage of Six Paths from the tailed beasts.

"You can talk about it later, I have to go back first."

"I can sense that there are other Six Paths level chakra beings in the mortal world besides the two of us."

If nothing unexpected happens, that Six Paths level chakra is most likely from the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, but it's unclear whether it's Obito Uchiha or Madara Uchiha.

The birth of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was somewhat within Naruto's expectations, since he had made contingency plans before the ceremony. The important thing was to get there immediately to avoid further casualties.

As for the old man in front of him, although he was the legendary Sage of Six Paths, Naruto didn't care too much about him, and even seemed indifferent to his appearance.

Because the moment Naruto opened his eyes, he knew that he could unleash his power and leave this space at any time if he wanted to.

Naruto then unleashed his chakra, creating a tremendous shockwave that even caused the nine tailed beasts to stumble and stagger back several steps.

Naruto briefly sensed the changes in his body and suddenly felt that he could do anything now.

"Wait, Naruto! I've stopped time in this space, so don't worry about anything happening in the real world!"

Naruto turned around and looked at the Sage of Six Paths suspiciously: "You can actually do something like that?"

It's no wonder Naruto was skeptical, because in his perception, the Sage of Six Paths was now just a remnant soul.

"This is essentially just the consciousness space of the tailed beasts. With their cooperation, it's easy to adjust. As for abilities related to time, they also exist in the ninja world. You can look for them when you have time."

Seeing that even the Sage of Six Paths had said so, Naruto stopped and figured it wouldn't hurt to listen to him say a few words.

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

The Sage of Six Paths waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. In terms of seniority, it's perfectly fine for you to call me Grandpa."

"If you take advantage of me again, I'm leaving."

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing that Naruto really looked like he was about to leave, the Sage of Six Paths had no choice but to give up trying to get close to him and focus on the important points.

He created an illusion of a human figure and introduced, "This is my son Ashura. You are his reincarnation, so his chakra should also be within you."

"No, because I used Ashura's and Indra's chakra as firewood to activate the ritual."

The Sage of Six Paths was taken aback upon hearing this, then carefully sensed the situation and was shocked to discover that there was not a single trace of Ashura chakra in Naruto's body.

The Sage of Six Paths knew that Naruto was performing some kind of ritual to make himself stronger.

But he never imagined that the ritual's materials would be his son's chakra!

"This...this...sigh, never mind, at least in a sense it has ended the thousand-year-long struggle between Asura and Indra."

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, feeling a surge of indignation yet utterly helpless.

Because he knew perfectly well that he was no match for Naruto right now.

Especially when Naruto unleashed his chakra just now, this space was on the verge of collapse and almost couldn't be maintained.

In the end, it was just a chakra, not Ashura and Indra themselves, but rather something like a technique they left behind.

"In short, let me first tell you something very important, which is about my mother and son."

The Sage of Six Paths created another illusion of a human figure.

This time it was a woman, whose appearance bore some resemblance to the Sage of Six Paths.

“My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, came from a faraway place. She came to this place to obtain the fruit of the Divine Tree. The Divine Tree is actually what you call the Ten-Tails.”

"The fruit of the Divine Tree contains great power. After Kaguya ate it, she gained the power to pacify the chaotic world and successfully unified the ninja world. My younger brother Hamura and I were born later."

"However, after Kaguya quelled the chaos, she used the Divine Tree to absorb the power within everyone and transform them into some kind of all-white war weapon, which you may have already seen."

After hearing the Sage of Six Paths' introduction, the image of White Zetsu flashed through Naruto's mind.

The Sage of Six Paths continued, "To atone for my mother's sins, Hamura and I worked together to seal her and the Ten-Tails' body on the moon, and Hamura has stayed on the moon ever since to guard it with his clan."

"I extracted the power of the Ten-Tails to create the nine tailed beasts, and also founded the Ninja Clan to spread chakra."

"You probably know what happened next. The struggle between Ashura and Indra lasted for over a thousand years, up to the last generation, namely Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."

"The one who has become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is now Uchiha Madara."

Naruto chuckled lightly: "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it."

The Sage of Six Paths stroked his beard and said, "Regarding this, I believe you are indeed capable of doing it now."

"However, I want to remind you that you must be careful to guard against Kaguya's resurrection. If she returns to the world, that would be truly terrible."

"However, it's not without a way. I had already considered the possibility of this happening and prepared Yin and Yang powers. I originally planned to give them to you and the reincarnation of Indra, so that the two of you could seal Kaguya."

Naruto immediately refused, saying, "I don't want something like that."

With his current strength, he wouldn't have any problem even facing Kaguya Otsutsuki. There's no need for him to go through the trouble of accepting the power of the Sage of Six Paths, as that kind of thing probably can't last long.

The Sage of Six Paths wore an expression that said, "Just as I thought."

He knew that Naruto was still wary of him.

"In that case, may I ask Naruto for some of your thoughts?"

"I've been turning a blind eye to your encroachment on control of the Pure Land, but I still want to hear your explanation: why are you targeting the Pure Land?"

However, Naruto retorted expressionlessly, "It's not about turning a blind eye; it's that you simply cannot stop me from moving forward."

"If we're going to talk, let's stop trying to play word games."

The Sage of Six Paths' lips twitched. Naruto really didn't give him any face at all.

The Sage of Six Paths spoke up, "That's not the point. The point is, why did you target the Pure Land?"

Naruto said, "I've answered this question many times—because I want to have a family; because for some people, death alone is too good for them."

"I want to reunite with my family and be together forever. I want good people to live more like human beings, and evil people to receive the retribution they deserve!"

The Six Paths Immortal remained silent, a sense of melancholy washing over him.

"Looking at it this way, your ideal is actually quite similar to my initial thoughts."

"My initial hope was that people could unite and live in peace, which is why I dispersed the power of chakra."

Naruto shrugged: "But you were obviously wrong. The evidence is that the ninja world was constantly fighting afterward, and it was even caused by your two sons. And you really just watched for the past thousand years."

The Sage of Six Paths explained, "I was gathering strength to prepare for Kaguya's resurrection..."

The Sage of Six Paths was too embarrassed to continue.

As Naruto said, his two children caused a thousand-year-long conflict, and he did nothing about it.

He wanted to build the ninja world into a paradise where everyone could live in peace, but in the end, he only left behind a hell of constant strife.

The Sage of Six Paths sighed: "Perhaps I was wrong back then."

Then he changed the subject: "So, Naruto, what do you plan to do?"

Naruto smiled slightly: "First of all, I will at least not share my power."

"This is not selfishness, but because most people do not have the awareness to match their power."

"Having suddenly acquired great power, they might initially maintain the most basic morality, but in the end they will definitely use this power for fighting."

“I will never repeat the mistakes of you and the First Hokage. Perhaps the ninja world did enjoy a brief period of peace when you were alive, but what followed was a long period of struggle.”

The Sage of Six Paths was speechless. He felt that Naruto was completely different from Ashura and his reincarnations.

Ashura didn't initially show any talent; he only gained power comparable to Indra through cooperation with others. Naruto, on the other hand, seemed to focus more on his own strength.

"Sage of Six Paths, you're probably thinking something like, 'Naruto only cares about his own power,' right now?"
