Time Waits for No One, I'll Personally Eradicate the Will of the Six Paths!

After the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking, he turned and vanished from the special space, and the Three Great Insect Sages disappeared after him.

Hyuga Shin had no idea he had narrowly avoided disaster. Otherwise, if the Three Great Insect Sages had truly attacked him, even he would probably have only been able to flee for his life.

The truth was exactly as Hyuga Shin had guessed: there was some unspeakably filthy backroom deal between the Three Great Sage Regions and the Sage of Six Paths.

As for what it was specifically, he had already had his suspicions for a long time, but he was not entirely certain.

But if it really was as he expected, then this problem was huge! It was very possible that the moment his breakthrough was discovered, he would face a joint hunt by the Insect Sages and the Sage of Six Paths!

So, to be safe, Hyuga Shin had no choice but to temporarily delay his advancement to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But the more he understood this world, the more he could see its darkness.

It also made Hyuga Shin realize that his path might be far harder than he had imagined.

Originally, after achieving some results with the Immortal Cultivation Method, he had planned to fake his death, find a place, and cultivate in peace.

But reality did not allow that. Left with no choice, he could only make changes, which was why he came up with other ideas.

Muddy the waters! This was one of the purposes behind his transformation into the Great Teacher of the Ninja World.

Second, he wanted to see whether he could force the other hidden manipulators in the ninja world to reveal themselves.

The waters of the ninja world were unfathomably deep. The more deeply he understood it, the more unfamiliar this world felt.

Hyuga Shin somewhat suspected that he had watched a fake Naruto in his previous life.

This was way too damn far off.

But thinking about it, that made sense. True darkness was often hidden beneath everything beautiful.

How could the filth of the world ever be discovered by a bunch of manipulated insects?

They only needed to live inside the Fate Script, working hard for their so-called ideals and beliefs.

Orochimaru had been very irritable lately!

In his mind, he often unconsciously recalled the lessons Hyuga Shin had once taught him, and the questions Hyuga Shin had raised to him.

Originally, this was nothing. He also felt that these questions were indeed worth pondering, and had even spent quite a bit of time on them.

He had already gained some guesses and insights as well.

But over the past two days, he had felt that something was wrong!

There had always been a voice in his mind telling him that this was wrong, that the ninja world was simply this way, and that it had been like this for thousands of years.

It was as if it had been constantly advising him to give up the doubts in his heart, and that person was none other than his own thoughts.

Because of this, he had even wondered whether someone had used Genjutsu on him to interfere with him, and he had tried every Genjutsu release method he could use.

He had also asked Tsunade to give him a full-body examination.

The result confirmed that he had not been hit by Genjutsu. That meant these were his own thoughts.

On one hand, Orochimaru felt that the questions Hyuga Shin raised made a great deal of sense and were worth deep thought.

On the other hand, there was a voice constantly wearing away the confusion in his heart.

He felt as if he was about to develop a split personality. The mental exhaustion left him extremely irritated.

He had even handed proper business over to an assistant from the Nara Family to handle.

Meanwhile, in the Pure Land.

The Sage of Six Paths ultimately decided to pay a certain price and forcibly awaken the will he had embedded, interfering with his chess pieces as much as possible and making them walk the correct Fate Script.

This was right after he ended his meeting with the Three Great Insect Sages.

Although the Three Great Sages said they would pay closer attention, they had no intention of taking action personally.

In that case, for the time being, there might truly be no way to deal with Hyuga Shin, this Warring States Remnant.

So he could not give Hyuga Shin enough time, lest he bring even greater changes to the predetermined fate.

Although he knew the will left on Orochimaru and the others might have been sealed by Hyuga Shin.

Last time, however, he had discovered that the seal was not perfect. He could still forcibly exert influence through the will embedded in their souls and interfere with his chess pieces.

It was just that compared with his usual interference, the consumption was more than a dozen times greater.

And to the Sage of Six Paths' surprise, he discovered that the seals inside Orochimaru and the others had already been undone.

This made him somewhat unable to understand Hyuga Shin's actions, but at the same time, it made his own movements even more convenient.

The Erosion Plan proceeded very smoothly. Tsunade and Nawaki did not show much of a reaction.

Only Orochimaru had clearly sensed that something was wrong. Otherwise, he would not have suspected that he was being controlled by Genjutsu.

Hyuga Shin also noticed this.

He noticed that Orochimaru had not been quite right these past two days, and after probing with his divine sense, he discovered something different about Orochimaru's soul.

A deeply embedded Will of the Six Paths had already awakened, and it was constantly corroding his soul.

Tsunade and Nawaki were the same.

Hyuga Shin had not expected the Sage of Six Paths to come this quickly!

He had thought the man could not interfere with the Shinobi World frequently, and that he should have enough time to prepare. Now, reality had slapped him in the face.

In truth, Hyuga Shin's guess had not been wrong. The Sage of Six Paths really could not interfere with the Shinobi World often, but as long as he paid a sufficient price, even the rules would make concessions.

His existence and everything he had done were like a fishbone lodged in the Sage of Six Paths' throat. If the cost of killing him had not been too great, the Sage of Six Paths would have acted personally long ago.

"Looks like the Sage of Six Paths isn't planning to give me much time. Fine! I'll clash with you again!" Hyuga Shin already had a plan in mind.

Thinking it over carefully, this was not entirely a bad thing. If he made good use of it, perhaps he could give Orochimaru and the others a deeper understanding of the Chakra system.

Hyuga Shin then found Orochimaru and the others, brought the three of them out of the camp, and prepared to personally intervene in this battle of wills.

This time, when they met, Hyuga Shin clearly sensed that the three of them had developed a slight sense of distance toward him. The erosion of the Will of the Six Paths truly had a great influence.

Fortunately, not much time had passed, so it would not be too hard to change.

After leaving the camp, Hyuga Shin did not waste words and directly told the three of them to follow him.

He brought the three of them once more to the cave where he had once treated Nawaki.

The three of them were somewhat baffled by Hyuga Shin's sudden decision, but out of trust in him, they still followed.

After entering the cave, Hyuga Shin did not explain much. He immediately had the three of them find a flat spot, sit down, and focus their minds.

Then he concentrated his divine sense toward the three of their bodies, souls, and Chakra.

Hyuga Shin intended to completely eradicate the Will of the Six Paths within them!

Since you want to play dirty, don't blame me for flipping the table!

Although it would be best for Orochimaru and the others to discover the truth step by step on their own, that did not mean Hyuga Shin had to use only that method.

If there was time and opportunity, that would naturally be the first choice. If there was no time and no opportunity, then he could only forcibly erase it!

This was also the reason Hyuga Shin had dared to undo the seals on Orochimaru and the others.

He had always held the final control.

Hyuga Shin's divine sense was extremely condensed. After probing into their bodies, it began searching for the Will of the Six Paths hidden within.

Hyuga Shin had already determined where the Will of the Six Paths was embedded.

One was the body—that was, within the physical flesh.

Another was within the Chakra, as had been mentioned before.

The last was the soul space.

Hyuga Shin's divine sense was extremely domineering. It forcibly barged into the Chakra and physical body parts where the Will of the Six Paths was embedded and carried out extermination.

The will within these two was relatively less autonomous and easier to erase.

The Sage of Six Paths was indeed stronger than Hyuga Shin at present, but he was in the Pure Land, far away, unable to control it in real time.

Like rootless water, the Will of the Six Paths was destined to be no match for Hyuga Shin.

The active Will of the Six Paths inside the three of them was violently uprooted one after another and completely annihilated! Not the slightest trace was left behind.

Originally, Hyuga Shin had planned to leave behind some traces of the Will of the Six Paths as preparation for raising a banner later.

But after thinking it over, he gave up on that idea. If he was going to do it, he would do it thoroughly!

He believed that Orochimaru, once freed from his restraints, would still be able to understand and accept his ideals.

For a moment, Orochimaru and the other two, sitting cross-legged on the ground, also felt their bodies become lighter, as though they had thrown off some burden.

Their Chakra became purer as well, and their bodies were more full of vitality.

As the embedded wills were continuously obliterated, the Will of the Six Paths hidden last in their soul spaces also realized that danger had arrived.
