A Complete Copy of the Legendary Sage of Six Paths
As Hagoromo continued speaking, Jiraiya gradually began to think.
Indeed, the Shinobi World is vast, with countless strange and unusual Ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai.
In all my years of wandering the Shinobi World, haven't I encountered many people?
Some can even succeed when they are careless --
If it weren't for my good fortune, I might have died long ago.
"Call--"
Jiraiya let out a deep breath and said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"I never imagined I'd be unable to accept new things."
"No, Jiraiya- senpai, you've just fallen into a misconception, or rather, the information within the village has led you astray."
Hagoromo shook his head and said that without information from within the village, Jiraiya would have noticed something unusual.
All I can say is that the timing was perfect.
This further confirmed Hagoromo Yi's belief.
Black Zetsu!
This guy hiding in the shadows must have seen him capture the Tailed Beast and bring it back to the village.
I'm starting to get restless.
"So, Hagoromo, what are your thoughts?"
Jiraiya asked curiously, since Hagoromo's ability to think of this meant he had seen it or—
Fugaku was standing nearby, also looked on curiously.
Hagoromo stood up, raised one hand, and began to slowly descend.
"This is just..." Jiraiya was about to say something when he realized something was wrong.
He was completely unaware of the Nature Transformation that should exist within the five major attributes.
Fugaku, meanwhile, stared intently at Hagoromo, his Scarlet Sharingan spinning wildly.
"Jiraiya- senpai, Fugaku- senpai, this is a type of Yin Release. Now, try to sense if you can perceive my presence."
After saying that, Hagoromo's figure immediately disappeared into the ground.
Jiraiya rose, paced around the tent, and after a while turned to Fugaku and asked.
"Fugaku, did you see that?"
Fugaku shook his head, deactivated his Sharingan, and said:
"No, even though I was afraid to watch Hagoromo dive down right in front of me, the moment I lost sight of my target, I couldn't sense Chakra at all."
Jiraiya nodded; so did he.
"Alright, Hagoromo, come out now."
Jiraiya shouted to those around him, thinking that since it was just an experiment, it would be fine as it was.
Um?
After a while, Jiraiya still hadn't seen Hagoromo, and even Fugaku got up.
"Lord Jiraiya, you wouldn't..."
Jiraiya's expression turned grim, and he shook his head.
"Impossible. If we really encountered the enemy, there's no reason why there wouldn't be any reaction."
Even if that person can isolate us, Hagoromo will still remind us.
"But if you were to defeat Hagoromo directly with sheer strength, do you think that's possible?"
Fugaku also had a serious expression, which is why he stood up abruptly.
Snap--
A voice suddenly rang out, and Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku immediately turned their heads to look.
From a corner inside the large tent, a figure in Hagoromo slowly appeared, holding something in his hand—
Several white, humanoid creatures or perhaps grass-like plants?
"Phew--, it seems Jiraiya -senpai is just as I suspected."
Hagoromo directly discarded the few things in his hand that had been activated by his Yang Release and were beginning to resemble trees.
"What are these?"
Jiraiya crouched down, curiously poked it, and asked.
I discovered a type of spore as soon as I infiltrated it, and it even seemed to have consciousness and wanted to escape, so I chased after it and destroyed it.
Hagoromo clapped her hands and said.
"These spores can instantly transform into human form, but they are vulnerable to Yang Release Chakra. I was instantly killed the moment I touched them."
"So, my plans were thwarted by Iwagakure because of these reasons?"
Jiraiya said solemnly, "If that's really the case..."
Then I truly deserve my defeat.
"Based on the situation, yes."
Hagoromo nodded. This was also the reason why Black Zetsu was so difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, in the Shinobi World, only Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode's Malice Perception could detect this kind of covert method.
Other senses are almost useless, and it can even take on the identities of other people.
What should we do next?
Jiraiya asked, "With such a presence at the front lines, the rest of the deployment is practically laid out before Iwagakure."
Leave it to me.
Hagoromo stroked her chin for a while before speaking.
Do you have a solution?
Jiraiya was surprised to hear this, since he had just said that ordinary senses could not detect it.
"It's very troublesome, but there's no other way."
Hagoromo shook his head and said that the best way was for him to enter Yang Release Chakra Mode so that he could sense the entire front line.
However, this also means that your trump card might be revealed.
As for Sansan, he has no plans to summon him for the time being.
It's likely that Black Zetsu is involved in something within the village as well, so it's best to have Sansan protect Naruto and the others.
Suddenly, Hagoromo seemed to remember something, and then patted her head with a smile.
Wouldn't the Netherworld Formless Realm isolate one from external perception?
Moreover, it won't obstruct your senses; that's how you evaded Black Zetsu and Obito's senses last time.
For a moment, my mind went blank, and I couldn't remember.
"What's wrong?"
Jiraiya noticed Hagoromo's expression shifting between serious and smiling, and asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing, Jiraiya- senpai, Fugaku- senpai."
Hagoromo chuckled lightly and said, "From now on, I hope you will keep quiet about everything you have seen."
"Don't let a single word get out."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Fugaku exchanged bewildered glances.
Although she didn't know why, she nodded in agreement nonetheless.
Hagoromo both of them nodded, Yu Yi took a deep breath and began flipping through the pages rapidly.
The Yang Release Chakra throughout his body was then mobilized wildly.
Seeing this imposing aura, Jiraiya and Fugaku also took a few steps back.
"My junior brother is truly terrifying."
Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh, "Just now it was Yin Release, now it's Yang Release."
Plus, it seems that he possesses all five attributes of the Hagoromo, making him a complete replica of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Fugaku saw even more; this time, his pupils were no longer Mitsudomoe.
Instead, it spins rapidly, ultimately forming a completely new pattern.
Jiraiya to the side, his face filled with astonishment. This... this is the Mangekyō Sharingan?
"Lord Jiraiya, please rest assured, I have already discussed this matter with the Third Hokage."
Fugaku spoke with a normal expression, which meant he had already confided in the Hiruzen.
They simply kept it hidden to avoid making the Uchiha Clan too conspicuous.
Now, with the Hagoromo's Isolation Sealing Jutsu, he doesn't need to worry too much about being exposed.
After all, there were only three people inside the tent.
Moreover, even the Hokage's disciple is in a more astonishing state than he is with his Mangekyo.
