Naruto: Grinding to Six Paths Level in Konoha

At the outset of the Third Shinobi World War, Senkaku Byakuya looked at his destiny trait, Heaven Rewards Hard Work, and silently made up his mind.

"I'm going to stay a genin in Konoha for the rest of my life-keeping my head down until I reach Six Paths-level strength."

He might be a civilian-born shinobi with abysmal talent, but every ounce of effort brought a reward. As long as he worked hard, he would make progress.

To survive this dangerous shinobi war, Byakuya took things one step at a time, lying low whenever he could.

But fate always enjoyed playing little jokes. When a strange twist of events made him an unofficial member of Root... Byakuya found himself right in his element. His ability to keep his head down was nothing short of breathtaking.

Senkaku Byakuya: "I've spent my entire life treading on thin ice. Tell me, do you think I can make it to the other shore?"

Danzo Shimura: "Only a shinobi like you-one who plans every step, advances steadily, and never seeks the limelight-is suited to lead Root and protect the towering tree that is Konoha."

Years later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Black Zetsu finally resurrected Kaguya Otsutsuki after painstakingly scheming for a thousand years.

Kaguya Otsutsuki: "Ninshu... No, you call yourselves shinobi now, don't you? I have nothing to say to someone like you, who doesn't understand the meaning of chakra and merely toys with it as he pleases. This place, this land, is my precious nursery. I cannot allow it to suffer any more harm. Let us end this battle."

In an instant, Senkaku Byakuya refined Kaguya Otsutsuki into a puppet.

"Why all the pointless chatter? There. I've surpassed even the Six Paths. From now on, I will take the reins and create a new world."
