Six Paths: You go to your death, I'll take the blame
"Who's speaking?!" Toad was a little confused.
"I am your conscience; it's been many years since we last spoke."
"Conscience?" Toad Ball was even more confused; it didn't have such a thing.
Oh, I remember now, it seems that humans like to use this organ to boast about certain things.
The key question is, when did it start growing those things?
The dull response left Kyosuke, inside the Toad, feeling rather bored.
Shouldn't we be calling it "Friday" at this time?
Staggering to the heart of the enemy, Kyosuke, Insight Dojutsu, found dealing with this enormous foe incredibly easy.
As he gently touched the beating heart, Kyosuke's eyes darkened, and a black mark instantly enveloped it.
Sealing Jutsu: Contract Seal!
As he continued to exert his strength, the markings began to spread towards the Toad's body, and wherever they went, the Senjutsu Chakra could control as easily as his own arm was completely repelled from his body.
By isolating Senjutsu Chakra, Toad will completely lose the ability to contend with the Ten-Tails.
Killing it directly is not out of the question, but Kyosuke is worried that the Ten-Tails might dissipate its energy before it can even consume it.
Since the other party is already like Toad on a chopping board, it's better to choose a safer approach.
Boom!
Without the protection of Senjutsu Chakra, Toad could no longer withstand the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
After the terrifying shockwave subsided, it collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated.
With some difficulty, Toad, whose body had returned to its original size, raised his head and struggled to look at the figure that had flown out of his body.
"Uchiha Kyosuke."
"Why... why have I never seen you in the future I foresee?"
It knew it was doomed, but only wanted to satisfy its curiosity before it died.
"Regarding this matter," Kyosuke paused for a moment, then suddenly gave it a strange smile, "It's very complicated to explain, so I won't go into it with you."
"Ten-Tails, enjoy your meal."
Seeing the Ten-Tails grab him and put him in its mouth, Toad's eyes widened instantly, finally understanding why Mount Myōboku had suffered such a calamity today.
"Uchiha Kyosuke, you cruel and ruthless bastard."
"The child of prophecy will be born, and he will surely stop your tyranny."
Snap! The massive, sharp teeth snapped down, silencing Toad's curses abruptly, and at the same time, the system notified him of a kill.
[System notification: Successfully defeated Toad Maru, Points 87,000 points.]
"Only a mere 80,000 Points?"
Staring at the Ten-Tails, which had suddenly begun to develop a second growth spurt, Kyosuke frowned in confusion. "It seems I misunderstood. Toad's strength lies in its ability to use Senjutsu Chakra with perfect ease."
"Clearly, this kind of status-based addition does not contribute to the increase in Points."
The Points were clearly not enough to satisfy Kyosuke.
Fortunately, the Ten-Tails was enhanced, and after absorbing it, his physical strength also rose to the level of the middle stage of the Six Paths.

The Ten-Tails at present has not yet reached the level of the Fourth Great Ninja War World War. If it can evolve into its Complete Form, Kyosuke estimates that its physical strength and Chakra will rise to the Six Paths High Tier.
At that time, with his two Dojutsu, he will be able to fight Isshiki standstill even without risking his life.
Sensing the restlessness emanating from the Ten-Tails, Kyosuke shook his head and chuckled, reaching out to open a black Portal in front of him.
Mount Myōboku disappointed him greatly; hopefully, the final stop will satisfy him.
The Shikkotsu Forest also contains Alternate Dimension. Before leaving, Kyosuke secretly visited the Senju Clan's archives.
While spitting a few mouthfuls of tea into Little Six's tea, he found out the exact location of Shikkotsu Forest.
With his current spatial mastery, invading the past shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Looking at the devastated Mount Myōboku, Kyosuke's lips curled into a cruel smile, "To call me cruel and ruthless doesn't seem to be an exaggeration."
"In this dog-eat-dog world, the price of kindness is far too high."
"Compared to your tragic end, I seem to prefer being branded as evil."
After a brief search, he quickly located the coordinates of the Shikkotsu Forest.
With one step, Kyosuke disappeared into the ruined Mount Myōboku.
No one knows whether this place will become a sacred place for nurturing children of destiny in the future.
The Ninja Sect has withdrawn.
The astonishing truth left all the Toad stunned in place.
We agreed to fight the boss together, so why did you guys run away when it came to the final battle?
"Damn Ninja Sect!" Toad shouted Gamabunta, his words filled with undisguised contempt.
No matter what's posted on the forum, it doesn't change the fact that the Great Toad Sage was kind to the Ninja Sect.
The Great Immortal sacrificed his life to cover the retreat, buying precious time for the Ninja Sect.
The result was quite unexpected. Instead of figuring out how to deal with a powerful enemy, they were so frightened that they ran away before the enemy even arrived.
Like the Three Great Sage Lands, the Ninja Sect is an independent Alternate Dimension.
The unilateral severing of the passage meant that none of the Toad present could locate the others.
The formidable enemy that is about to arrive will naturally not be easy to find.
Clearly, the Ninja Sect realized they were no match for them, and not only did they sacrifice Mount Myōboku, they also wanted to use Shikkotsu Forest as a scapegoat.
Gamabunta wanted to ask, "What good is gaining time? Can you guarantee you can definitely beat that person?"
"The Great Sage's plan is very likely related to the resurgence of the Sage of Six Paths." Fukasaku's words successfully calmed the frogs.
Of course, this has no practical effect whatsoever.
The problem is simple: the enemy could arrive at any time, and staying here will most likely mean certain death.
No matter what tricks the Ninja Sect had up their sleeves, none of the frogs wanted to risk their lives for those bastards.
Let's run too.
Where can they run to?
"We'll just run wherever we end up."
"If all else fails, we'll go to the Shinobi World."
"What if I go hungry?"
"Then, let's take some Katsuyu clones with us before we leave."
The little Katsuyu leading the way, seeing a group of Toad staring at it with their bright green eyes, was so frightened that it immediately burrowed into the ground and refused to come out.
"Stop messing around." Fukasaku sighed, stopping a group of vicious frogs from the underworld. He didn't want to ruin the reputation of Mount Myōboku.
Although that place may no longer exist.
"Forget it, I'll just go to the Shinobi World to lay low for a while."
"Hopefully that guy won't go too far and kill us all."
A group of Toad, having lost their home, ventured into a completely unknown distance.
Bang!
With a single punch, he knocked his confused Ōtsutsuki Hamura brother to the ground, and roared, "What have you done?!"
"I simply made the right choice." The Sage of Six Paths swayed as he got up, clearly still somewhat unaccustomed to his original body.
A normal person would definitely feel dizzy and lightheaded after soaking in a pool for an hour.
But his body had been submerged under his friend's buttocks for over a thousand years.
It's perfectly normal to feel a little confused sometimes.
Bang! Just as Hagoromo, his younger brother launched another powerful attack at him.
"That was our friend, damn it, it lost its life for you."
Bang!
"Without Toad, I would have died a very, very long time ago."
Bang!
"You bastard, wake up!"
Hamura showed no mercy when beating his own brother, and soon, blood began to spread from the corner of the Sage of Six Paths' mouth.
Nevertheless, he persisted in his belief. "You understand what kind of being Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is without me explaining."
"To be able to take down an enemy of that caliber, we could easily face defeat."
"Impossible!" Hamura immediately rejected the idea. "If we joined forces, we could even seal Mother. There's no reason we'd be inferior to a descendant."
"Seal?" A sneer appeared on the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' lips. "If Mom had even a little bit of combat skill, let alone a seal, we probably wouldn't have lasted ten minutes if we all attacked together."
"That's still not allowed..."
"Hamura." The Sage of Six Paths' face darkened. For the first time since his resurrection—no, to be precise, for the first time in his entire life—he showed his displeasure towards his younger brother. "Put away your naivety. In the future, we will face more than just him as an enemy."
"The Ōtsutsuki Main Family is far more terrifying than you imagine; you'd better not harbor any illusions."
"If we lose, it means that billions of living beings on Earth will suffer."
"And..." interrupting her younger brother who was about to speak, Hagoromo said calmly, "Don't forget my ability: death is never the end of life."
Yes, how could I forget about the older brother's abilities... The younger brother's mood suddenly improved a lot.
The Sage of Six Paths awakened the Rinnegan, gaining an ability similar to "Spirit Possession".
This is why even the Underworld Pure Land can't do anything about him.
If we want to, we can easily summon Toad's soul back in the future and then reshape it into a new body.
Thinking about this, Hamura finally calmed down and even gradually accepted his brother's idea of fleeing without a fight.
Mount Myōboku has suffered, Shikkotsu Forest will definitely not escape the enemy's grasp.
This time, after their resurrection, it feels like the brothers have accumulated even more debt.
On the other hand, the sacred Shikkotsu Forest has undergone extremely astonishing changes.
When the Sage of Six Paths departed, he naturally took the nascent Senjutsu Fruit with him.
With it gone, the Great Slug Sage's true form was naturally freed.
Unfortunately, what was once a terrifying entity comparable to an asteroid is now only a little over three thousand meters high.
Turning to look at the "tiny" Ten-Tails, Kyosuke clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "When will this silly thing ever grow bigger?"
