Asura and Indra, the two parents and children of Sage of Six Paths, have passed away in the long past. What they left behind is not their own souls, but the special chakra that carries the trajectory of their destiny.
These chakras drift and circulate in the long river of time, constantly looking for individuals who are "similar" to their essence.
Those who resonate with Asura, [emphasis on love and Bonds, believe in the power of everyone], or those who resonate with Indra [pursuing strength and talent, emphasizing bloodline and personal talents] in terms of character, talent or destiny nodes - are attached to them, carrying out a kind of "chakra reincarnation" that is not soul reincarnation, but profoundly affects the host's life.
The souls of the real Asura and Indra have already found eternal peace in the Pure Land created by Daoist Immortal to rest the dead.
However, they are obviously from the same bloodline and should be closely connected with the power of brothers. However, the reincarnations over the past thousands of years have almost without exception Earth Flow turned to confrontation and fighting.
At this moment, I witnessed with my own eyes that the "Asura Chakra Carrier" and "Indra's Chakra Carrier" of this generation not only did not repeat the same mistakes, but instead formed a relationship as husband and wife...
Even Sage of Six Paths can't help but feel a very strange feeling in his heart. That strange feeling is called [Orthopedics].
Immediately, Sage of Six Paths didn't know what he did. The next moment, behind Satsuki, the air was slightly distorted, and a shadow with a slightly blurred outline made of blue chakra slowly emerged.
The phantom has black hair similar to Satsuki, but his eyes are older and arrogant, with a sense of persistence and loneliness deeply rooted in his bloodline - it is the chakra incarnation of Indra.
Satsuki is actually no stranger to the stories of Sage of Six Paths, Asura and Indra. When Naruto persuaded Nagato, he traced this history of the origin of the ninja clan.
However, Naruto did not clearly tell her at that time that the carrier chosen by that "Indra's chakra" in this life was herself.
Satsuki turned her head and looked at Naruto beside her. Naruto did not show surprise at the chakra shadow behind her, but nodded slightly.
... In other words, is what this person said true? Satsuki's last doubt in his heart was dispelled, but what followed was not relief.
"It seems that you are willing to believe what I say." Sage of Six Paths's voice sounded at the right time, "However, judging from your expression, it seems that you are not completely shocked by this. Presumably, you should have already guessed who the reincarnation of this generation's 'younger brother' - Asura Chakra is."
Satsuki was silent for a moment, and a trace of emotion flashed in his black eyes.
For a long time, she has been obsessed with Naruto, the unexplainable attraction and bond deep in her soul, and the urge to both get closer and surpass her that started when she first met her when she was young...
If you apply this explanation of "chakra reincarnations attract each other", everything becomes clear.
"... It's Naruto."
"Exactly." Sage of Six Paths confirmed.
However, understanding the reason does not mean that Satsuki will have much respect or affection for the sudden "ancestor" in front of him.
Her brows furrowed even more tightly, and her tone was obviously displeased and wary. "Sage of Six Paths... So, what do you want to do when you suddenly appeared today and told me these old things?"
She didn't like these hidden truths. With great effort, she finally came to Naruto, became his legitimate wife, and gained the happiness she had dreamed of.
As a result, now, the old man who claimed to be the ancestor of Ninja World suddenly jumped out and told her that the deep emotional connection between her and Naruto was probably rooted in some kind of "chakra attraction" derived from blood relatives?
"Let me say it first," Satsuki's tone suddenly turned cold, "I don't want the chakra of your eldest son to continue to stay with me. My father is Fugaku Uchiha, and my mother is Mikoto Uchiha. I am of their blood, and I am Uchiha Satsuki who grew up in Konoha."
"If you try to use the absurd logic of 'your son's chakra is attached to you, so you are essentially Indra' to define me, or to affect my relationship with Naruto, I will never admit it."
Looking at Satsuki who was obviously excited, Sage of Six Paths sighed, "Calm down, newcomer. Of course I know that you are not Indra. Indra The true soul of is resting in peace in Pure Land after death. I am telling you this with no intention of letting you admit that you are 'Indra'. That would be disrespectful to your personality."
Feeling the sincerity in Sage of Six Paths's words, Satsuki's tense nerves relaxed a little, but the alertness in his eyes was not completely eliminated.
What she is most worried about is that the bond based on "past life" or "blood chakra" will constitute some ethical taboos for the relationship between her and Naruto based on real interactions and common experiences in "this life".
Sage of Six Paths understood her worries. He looked at the young newlyweds and was filled with emotions.
The reincarnations of Indra's Chakra in the past generations are of course very paranoid and extreme in their emotions. Once they are identified, they will give everything they have.
But for the reincarnations of Asura who are destined to be attracted to each other, who have mostly enthusiastic and outgoing personalities and value the collective and Bonds, this kind of strong and extremely possessive "paranoid love" is often regarded as a burden, constraint or even "trouble" by the other party, and eventually evolves into outright hostility and struggle amid constant friction and conflict of ideas.
However this time...
Indra's chakra carrier (Satsuki) will unreservedly transform the attraction and persistence of Asura Chakra's carrier (Naruto), which originates from the essence of power, into the purest and most passionate love between men and women.
The carrier of Asura (Naruto), instead of rejecting this overly strong feeling, responded to it with the same affection, accepted and cherished it.
Indra regards Asura as the entire core of his emotional world, and Asura also regards it as a treasure.
Such a development, such an ending... can be considered "reconciliation" and "satisfaction", right?
Sage of Six Paths moved his eyes away from Satsuki, who was still emotionally unstable, and refocused on Uzumaki Naruto.
"First of all, I have to express my most sincere gratitude to you, Uzumaki Naruto."
"You exposed the lies that have been woven for thousands of years and completely prevented the conspiracy of mother Kaguya to resurrect... although the method you used was a bit 'rough'."
"But there is no doubt that you have achieved a situation that others before, including me, could not achieve."
"Not only that, you also know that a threat that is more distant than mother, but also more imminent, will eventually come. Regarding this... I also want to ask you in advance."
Naruto met Hagoromo's gaze, "Well, don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I will do it. I will never let Kaguya's people, or any other existence, destroy this world and everything I cherish."
"That's good."
Hagoromo's voice seemed to be a little more relaxed, but then the solemnity became deeper, "Then, please allow me, an old guy who has passed away long ago, to make the last and most important request to you."
"Uzumaki Naruto, your power has far surpassed the level I reached during my lifetime, and has even touched the laws and authority that even I can only vaguely perceive. Not only do you have the power to protect, but you have also begun to have the ability to 'define' and 'maintain' order."
A trace of doubt arose in Naruto's heart. In the original work, after Sage of Six Paths gave his power and asked to stop Kaguya, he did not mention any unfulfilled "responsibilities" that needed to be entrusted.
"Request? What is it?"
"I hope you can succeed me... or take over the place that I created and maintain to this day as the resting place for the souls of the dead - [Pure Land]."
(I didn't expect that Obito and Madara will have scenes together)
