Six Paths Sage Appears in the Shinobi World
"Join forces? Hahaha... That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. You're afraid the Ōtsutsuki will come after you, but I'm not. Do you know why you felt a familiar aura about me?"
"Why?" Kaguya asked expressionlessly.
"That's because someone traveled through time and I killed them. With your strength, even if we joined forces, you're no match for them!" Actually, Tianqi was lying. If Kaguya hadn't been so afraid of the Ōtsutsuki trio, she wouldn't have been in any trouble. It's just that this woman is too stupid.
"So there's nothing to talk about then?" Hearing that Tianqi had actually killed one person, Kaguya was surprised but also felt it was reasonable. After all, Tianqi was really strong, and if only one person came, it was indeed possible that he would kill them.
What do you think?
For a moment Tianqi and Kaguya were locked in a fierce confrontation, seemingly ready to fight to the death, with their Chakra surging continuously.
"Bang!!!" Kaguya and Tianqi attacked simultaneously, and the two massive Chakra clashed together.
The two streams of Chakra were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before Kaguya was blown away by Tianqi's astonishing Chakra.
"How could this be? He actually won against Haha Chakra in a chakra battle... Uchiha Tianqi..." Black Zetsu was also shocked when he witnessed Uchiha Tianqi's power for the first time.
"So this is all Kaguya is made of!" Tianqi shook his head, quite disappointed. Kaguya had a vast amount of Chakra, but she had absolutely no skills. Compared to Urashiki, she was far inferior.
"Amazing! Sasuke's grandfather is incredibly strong!" Sakura exclaimed in admiration as she watched Tianqi, who was able to gain the upper hand against such a powerful opponent.
"Tianqi is indeed powerful, but it seems he has no intention of helping..." Kakashi looked at Tianqi, whose body was surging with Chakra but did not use any killing moves, and immediately guessed his intentions.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Kage, Kakashi, Kaguya is a good opponent to hone your skills against. As long as you coordinate properly, defeating her is not a problem at all. I have confidence in you. I have other things to do, so I'll leave her to you!" After defeating Kaguya, Tianqi handed Kaguya over to all the members of Team 7.
"Sasuke, don't always go it alone. You have the most reliable companions by your side. With reliable companions, you are invincible!" Knowing that his grandfather was about to take action, Itachi also gave Sasuke.
After glancing at Tianqi, Itachi, and Karura, Tsunade hesitated for a moment before saying calmly, "Sakura, you are one of the Sannin, Tsunade's disciple. You are no less capable than Naruto and Sasuke. Be confident!"
"Also, Hatake Kakashi, you are their Jonin instructor Jonin mentor. I have higher expectations for you than for them. After this war, I may leave with Tianqi. Naruto and the others are still too inexperienced, so I hope you can take over as the Sixth Hokage. I have already placed the handover document in the Hokage Building, and I have also left the things I need to tell the Daimyo there. Kakashi, I'm entrusting you with my future!"
"Lady Tsunade, I..." Kakashi hesitated when the position of the Sixth suddenly appeared before him.
"Tsunade, how could the Hokage be Kakashi's? I've always..." Naruto was excited when he heard that the Hokage position was going to be handed over to Kakashi-sensei.
"Shut up!!!" Sakura punched Naruto on the head, silencing him.
"Kakashi, I have faith in you. You are someone I can entrust with my life!" Tsunade said, then left with Tianqi and the other two.
Kaguya was completely handed over to Kakashi's Team 7, while Tianqi and the others flew towards their Amenominaka. Just after Tianqi and the others left, Naruto and Sasuke's Chakra suddenly disappeared, clearly because Kaguya used her Dōjutsu, Ame no Michu.
Tsunade, flying in the sky, asked with a puzzled look, "Tianqi, what exactly are we going to do?"
"I'll take you to see the Sage of Six Paths. I need him to cross dimensions and leave this world. The three of you will protect me and my people this time. The final outcome depends on this!"
"The Sage of Six Paths? That legendary progenitor of ninjas? How could he...?" Tsunade asked in surprise.
"Don't ask any more questions, you'll know everything once you see it with your own eyes!" Tianqi didn't explain anything further and flew towards the target with all his might.
The group quickly arrived at their destination, and the Konoha F4 also arrived at the same time.
"Great-Grandpa, Second-Grandpa, and old man Sarutobi and Minato, what are you all doing here?" Tsunade looked at the former Hokage of Konoha, her face filled with shock.
"It's Tsuna. By the way, what exactly happened? And why did Naruto and Sasuke's Chakra suddenly disappear? What is going on..." Tobirama Senju asked, looking at his eldest granddaughter.
"This..." Tsunade didn't know how Naruto had disappeared either, so she looked at Tianqi and handed over the explanation to him.
"Old Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi succeeded, but he was transformed into Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the progenitor of Chakra, by the long-scheming Black Zetsu. As for Naruto, they were pulled to other dimensions to fight!" Tianqi casually summarized everything in simple words.
"Black Zetsu? Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?" The Konoha F4 looked puzzled; Tianqi's words were too simple for them to understand at all.
"Hmph, don't ask me. I don't want to waste my breath explaining to you. But there is someone who can explain to you. Don't you want to show yourself?" Tianqi shouted at Ban's severed half of his body.
As soon as Tianqi finished speaking, a large amount of Chakra surged from Madara's half-body, and an old man resembling a spirit suddenly emerged from Madara's half-body, holding the Six Paths Scepter.
"To know of my existence, you descendant of Indra, you are truly unfathomable!"
When Karura and Itachi saw that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, had actually appeared, they were both incredulous. Although they had known beforehand, this still shocked them immensely.
Tsunade and the Konoha F4 looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared with puzzled expressions.
"Who are you?" Hashirama Senju asked, looking puzzled.
"My name is Hagoromo, the founder of the Ninja Sect, also known as the Sage of Six Paths!"
"You're the Sage of Six Paths?" Hashirama Senju looked at the old man with surprise, and the others also looked at him with puzzled expressions.
"That's right, Naruto and Sasuke, who have inherited the souls of Asura and Indra, are currently fighting against my mother, Kaguya!"
"Asura? Indra? Who are they?" Hashirama Senju asked, completely bewildered.
"Asura and Indra are my two sons, and you, Hashirama Senju, are the predecessor of the soul of my second son, Asura, who is currently Kaguya against them, is my mother!"
"What?" Hashirama Senju still only half understood.
"That means the souls of Asura and Indra are also connected to you. The two souls are constantly reincarnated. Asura's soul was reincarnated as you, and Indra's soul was reincarnated as Madara!"
"Me?" Hashirama Senju looked puzzled.
"My mother used the souls of the two of them and spent a long time resurrecting herself. Now I even understand the consciousness of the one who possesses Madara and calls himself Zetsu, who is my mother's third son. If you want to save Naruto and Sasuke, you need to know everything. Before mentioning Asura and Indra, we have to start from the origin of the Ninja Sect, which was thousands of years ago..." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo began to talk about the Ninja Sect.
Tianqi listened to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo recount everything on his own, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth. This old man was truly incomprehensible; neither Indra nor Asura were like him. The oldest being was indeed a bit strange.
Everyone was listening to the Sage of Six Paths recount everything, except for Tianqi, who listened with obvious boredom, because he knew all of this better than anyone else.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo recounted everything: the history of the Ninja Sect and all that had happened to his two sons. However, he only briefly mentioned his mother and Black Zetsu, as he himself was not very clear about them.
"... Just as Indra declared, the struggle between the two never ceased, a long and endless repetition, and in those battles, hatred fueled even greater hatred, swelling to an uncontrollable degree. The battle continued even after Asura and Indra died, their souls reincarnating several times. Their descendants are you Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, and now Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Everyone, you must rescue Naruto and Sasuke no matter what. I firmly believe that these two can find the truest answer to the long-standing karmic bond of ninjas!"
