Original God, But It's a Chat Group

"The Uchiha clan's background really was terrifying. They were actually descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son."

"Shouldn't the Senju clan be the more surprising part? The Senju clan that supposedly ended the chaotic era was actually the culprit that created it a thousand years ago. They were an innately evil clan. I wonder what the people of Konoha thought of their First Hokage now."

Inside a cave in the Land of Rain, a group of people dressed in black cloaks patterned with red clouds had gathered together, chatting and laughing. Yet as they spoke, all their gazes were fixed on one person among them.

He wore the same black cloak with red clouds, but there was one obvious difference between him and the others: his eyes were blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan.

He was the person connected to the matter this group had gathered to discuss—Uchiha Itachi, who had slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan before defecting from Konoha!

And the people gathered here were Akatsuki Organization, the assassin organization formed by the strongest rogue ninjas from the major villages in Naruto!

"Mr. Itachi, I truly didn't expect that you had worked with Konoha's higher-ups to slaughter your own clan back then. Could you tell me why you cooperated with Shimura Danzō?"

Uchiha Itachi's teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki of Kirigakure, stared at him curiously, hoping to learn something from him.

However, Uchiha Itachi did not answer. He merely stared coldly ahead.

"Uchiha Itachi, did you ever imagine that the Uchiha clan had such a history? Especially that your Uchiha clan actually had such a powerful butler, someone who single-handedly made all of Konoha unable to breathe."

Sasori, the puppeteer from the Land of Wind in the Art Duo, likewise stared at Uchiha Itachi, intensely curious about how he felt right now.

When Uchiha Itachi had first joined Akatsuki Organization, he had claimed that he wanted to test his own capacity and seek greater power. Sasori did not know whether that was true, but now, the greater power he sought was in Konoha—perhaps even right beside his younger brother.

So, Uchiha Itachi, what exactly were you feeling now?

"Uchiha Itachi, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you!"

Kakuzu of the Immortal Duo could not help but speak up as well.

"Because of your Otsutsuki clan identity, as one of the last remaining Uchiha clansmen, your bounty has risen to three hundred and fifty million ryō. I think we could—"

"Kakuzu, forget it. Mr. Itachi still has things he wants to do."

As Itachi's teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki stepped forward to stop Kakuzu.

Yet while Kisame held Kakuzu back, Uchiha Itachi, the center of everyone's conversation, was undergoing a furious storm of thoughts.

What was going on? The Uchiha clan was descended from the Sage of Six Paths and had ruled the ninja world, bringing it peace? The Senju clan was an innately evil clan, while Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi were evil people taught by the innately evil Senju Tobirama. Now, one had been killed while the other had resigned out of guilt. Did that mean slaughtering his entire clan for the village had been wrong?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible. If what he had done back then was wrong, then wouldn't the sacrifice of everyone in the Uchiha clan have been completely meaningless? Wouldn't that make him the greatest sinner in Uchiha history?

Father... Mother... Could it be... that I truly made a mistake?

While Uchiha Itachi was consumed by self-doubt, the other Akatsuki Organization members chatted merrily together. As rogue ninjas, what happened in Konoha did not affect them much beyond being amusing.

Until the leader of Akatsuki Organization appeared.

Pain!

A man with spiky orange hair pointing skyward, black metal rods embedded all over his body, and Rinnegan eyes appeared before everyone.

"I already know about Konoha."

Pain did not waste time exchanging pleasantries after appearing. He spoke coldly and directly.

"It is rumored that the butler named Li Yue who appeared in the Uchiha clan possesses Wood Style as powerful as that of Senju Hashirama, the God of Shinobi. He may affect Akatsuki Organization's future plans. Therefore, I need some people to go to Konoha and investigate whether he is truly as powerful as the rumors claim and whether he will interfere with Akatsuki Organization's peace plan."

After saying that, he glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was still doubting himself. Itachi immediately spoke.

"Kisame and I will go. I know Konoha's barrier well and can infiltrate it easily."

"If he truly knows Wood Style, you and Kisame will not be his opponents. Deidara and Sasori will accompany you. The four of you will act together, and Zetsu will support you from the perimeter. If he really knows Wood Style, you will at least be able to cover your retreat."

Itachi glanced at Deidara and Sasori beside him but did not object.

"Fine."

"Then leave now, while Konoha is holding a matchmaking event for the Uchiha clan."

At the mention of matchmaking, Itachi's expression became subtle. He had just been questioning whether what he had done was right and had forgotten about this. His younger brother was being put up for marriage across the entire ninja world under the control of that butler named Li Yue. Anyone who gained his approval could marry Sasuke and have children with him. The news truly left him with complicated feelings.

Especially when he thought of Sasuke having children afterward, a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

While the major villages and Akatsuki Organization were all preparing to head for Konoha, Sasuke, the protagonist of the matchmaking event, was also putting up a futile resistance within the Uchiha clan compound in Konoha.

"What kind of joke is this?!"

"Although you are useless and incompetent, I am not joking with you."

"Can you stop saying those words?!"

"I can stop saying them if you first prove that you are neither useless nor incompetent!"

"You!"

Uchiha... no, Otsutsuki Sasuke stared at the expressionless Li Yue before him. His fists were clenched, and his teeth ground together, but he had no way to resist. He had already tried resisting yesterday, only to be pinned to the ground and then bound by six glowing slabs made from who knew what, suspended there for an entire night.

"In any case, I will not get married. Until I kill that man, I will not get married!"

"Is that so? Then I'll go kill him right now and bring his corpse back. Then you can get married, right?"

"I want to kill that man myself!"

Li Yue looked at the stubborn Sasuke before him and nodded approvingly.

"I understand. I'll beat him half to death, then throw him in front of you so you can kill him yourself."

"That's not what I mean! I want to rely on my own strength and kill him with my own hands. I want him to understand that the so-called capacity and power he pursues are so weak, and that he is so useless and incompetent!"

Not bad. He had learned and applied it immediately. Perhaps he had heard it too often; Sasuke could actually use that phrase now.

"Really? With you being so useless? I don't believe it!"

Li Yue glanced sideways at Sasuke, making him clench his fists angrily.

"Although Uchiha Itachi is garbage too, he is at least a little stronger than you."

"Indeed, I am weak right now. But aren't you strong?"

Sasuke stared at Li Yue. In Li Yue, he saw overwhelming strength. Whether it was those terrifying Root ninjas, Elder Shimura Danzō, or all of Konoha's jonin gathered together, Li Yue had subdued them with ease. He even possessed Wood Style as powerful as the First Hokage's. Someone that powerful would surely find killing Uchiha Itachi effortless.

Because even Uchiha Itachi could not accomplish such a thing!

If it was Li Yue, he could definitely make him stronger!

"Heh. I can make others stronger, but are you worthy?"

"As long as you can make me stronger—strong enough to kill Itachi—I will do anything you ask. Don't you want me to produce a new Otsutsuki clan? If I refuse to cooperate, you might not be troubled, since someone as strong as you surely has plenty of methods to force me to cooperate. But you would definitely be displeased, wouldn't you?"

Sasuke, who usually only knew how to charge ahead and act cool, was unusually clever this time.

"But if you can make me stronger, I will cooperate with you unconditionally. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it, as long as you can make me stronger! That would put you in a better mood too, wouldn't it? For someone as powerful as you, your mood should matter even more."

"I'm begging you. I'm willing to do anything!"

After Sasuke said that, he looked at Li Yue expectantly. After spending a day with Li Yue, he had roughly analyzed his personality from Li Yue's behavior. He was some ancient monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time and looked down on everyone except his ancestor Indra. Anyone who displeased him would be dealt with directly; getting scolded was already a mild outcome. Therefore, using the excuse of improving his mood had a chance of succeeding!

By saying such words, he had completely thrown himself away. In order to become stronger, he would spare no cost!

Li Yue narrowed his eyes at Sasuke. After watching him carefully for a while, he finally spoke again.

"Very good. It seems you do have some resolve."

Hearing Li Yue say that, Sasuke finally let out the breath he had been holding. Li Yue saying this meant that he had agreed!

"Although you are useless and incompetent, for the sake of producing a new Otsutsuki bloodline as quickly as possible, I can grant your request. Starting tomorrow, I will give you special training!"

"No problem. Any kind of training is fine. Bring it on!"

Second Pillar nodded readily. As long as he could gain power—power capable of killing Uchiha Itachi—then what was producing descendants? He would do it! First, he would kill Uchiha Itachi and avenge his parents and clansmen, then restore the glory of the Uchiha clan!

"But as the price, you are not allowed any resistance when it comes to continuing Indra's bloodline!"

The Sage of Six Paths, I Was Not Lying

Meme Lord: Godfather, has the person... no, wait... has the soul been found?

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Not yet, but it should be nearby. I have already figured out how he escapes.

Meme Lord: If the people of the ninja world heard the phrase "how he escapes," they would probably be scared senseless. The Sage of Six Paths from ninja world legends is actually being chased around everywhere. Hahaha.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: He is not a Bleach, yet he has survived in soul form until now. Chakra is quite an interesting energy. In this world, Chakra is even the primary component of the energy that forms a soul.

Meme Lord: Right? Chakra is quite a miraculous energy, a special energy that exists alongside the soul.

While Li Yue was causing trouble in Konoha, Aizen Sousuke naturally did not remain idle. After obtaining the background setting of this world from Li Yue, the first thing Aizen wanted to study was naturally Chakra—especially the Chakra of the Otsutsuki clan, a race capable of continuously reincarnating by attaching themselves through Chakra.

In Aizen's view, the ninja world was quite fascinating. There was no true underworld here, no place like Soul Society, yet the souls of ninjas existed independently in a world called the Pure Land. That place was filled with Chakra, and the Sage of Six Paths was hidden there, secretly observing the entire ninja world.

According to the setting of the Naruto world, Chakra was the product of spiritual energy and physical energy combined. This power could be used to perform Ninjutsu and strengthen the body. It could exist and circulate along with the soul. In Li Yue's view, those so-called elemental Ninjutsu were mostly much the same. The truly interesting ones were special Ninjutsu released through Chakra.

Impure World Reincarnation was a Ninjutsu that could pull out the souls of the dead and make them fight for the caster. As long as the caster did not release the technique and the summoned soul was not sealed away, they could fight endlessly, possessing unlimited Chakra!

This technique was truly a special technique worth studying, and the way Chakra circulated under this state was likewise worth careful research. Where exactly did that unlimited Chakra come from?

After learning of this technique, Aizen naturally wanted to study it properly.

And since Aizen wanted to study Chakra, he naturally had to study the best kind. Thus, with Li Yue opening the way for him, Aizen entered the Pure Land directly and began capturing the Sage of Six Paths there.

The instant Aizen entered the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths immediately sensed something was wrong. He came to investigate, and after meeting Aizen, he discovered in shock that Aizen was a soul. Yet this soul possessed clear self-awareness and not a trace of Chakra! Then, he began his journey of escape.

Heavens have mercy, the Sage of Six Paths, this thousand-year-old man, was chased all over the Pure Land by Aizen, a young man only a few hundred years old! It was utterly miserable!

Meme Lord: Godfather, if you catch the Sage of Six Paths later, remember to help me find Senju Hashirama's soul.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Oh? That Hashirama the Street Dance Guy mentioned?

Meme Lord: That's right. Hashirama has already reincarnated into another world, so naturally he can no longer exist in this world.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Mm, no problem. I'll help you find him.

After replying to Li Yue in the private chat interface, Aizen turned his gaze toward the distance.

Far away, a pale figure was staring at him coldly.

"We meet again, Sage of Six Paths. It seems your injuries have recovered."

Holding Illusion, Aizen smiled as he watched the Sage of Six Paths.

"Who exactly are you? There should not be a human as powerful as you in the ninja world."

The Sage of Six Paths watched Aizen as well, deeply wary of him.

"Didn't I tell you? I am Aizen Sousuke, a Bleach."

A Bleach? How could such a thing truly exist! The Uzumaki clan had created the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, but that Bleach was merely a creation of Chakra. Where could there be an actual Bleach?

Yet this young man before him clearly had no Chakra, and was still absurdly powerful!

The moment they met, he had said, "Nice to meet you, I am a Bleach," then slashed at the Sage of Six Paths.

That single slash had nearly killed him, the Sage of Six Paths, outright!

The Sage of Six Paths' soul had been severely injured. But immediately after being struck, he used a Space Technique to leave, hid deep within the Pure Land, and constantly used Chakra to repair his soul. Fortunately, he was an Otsutsuki clan member, and this was the Chakra-rich Pure Land. Only then had his soul been able to recover completely.

And now, Aizen had found him again.

"You are not from the ninja world, are you?!"

Although he believed Aizen was deceiving him, the Sage of Six Paths also understood that Aizen was not from the ninja world. The ninja world had always been under his watch. Over the past thousand years, ninjas had abused the power of Chakra and brought great disaster upon the ninja world, but he had not intervened because he was already dead.

But this man before him did not possess even a trace of Chakra. He was clearly a soul, yet he possessed self-awareness and the ability to act. Such a thing should not be possible in the ninja world!

"Oh? It seems you figured it out. I'm very pleased."

The Sage of Six Paths' judgment earned Aizen's praise. As expected of an old thing that had lived for a thousand years—he was knowledgeable. Though after saying those words, Aizen somehow felt that they were strange, as if the copyright to that line no longer belonged to him.

"If you are not from the ninja world, then you are an enemy!"

The Sage of Six Paths glared with his Rinnegan.

"Although I do not know how you infiltrated the ninja world and found the Pure Land, for the safety of the ninja world, I will seal you here!"

"You chose sealing rather than killing?"

Aizen was somewhat curious about the Sage of Six Paths' decision. However, the Sage of Six Paths had no intention of answering. He raised his right hand, and a black Tin Staff appeared in his hand. Nine black spheres also appeared behind him.

"These should be Truth-Seeking Orbs."

Aizen looked at the nine black spheres behind the Sage of Six Paths, recalling what Li Yue had previously told him about the Sage of Six Paths' powers.

"It seems you understand my abilities well."

The Sage of Six Paths pointed the Tin Staff in his hand at Aizen. The black Truth-Seeking Orbs instantly appeared around Aizen, surrounding him completely.

"Aren't you going to attack immediately?"

Aizen smiled at the Sage of Six Paths, calm as ever.
