Six Paths Ninja Tools and the Horn Clan; The Choice Before the Rinnegan Awakens
As the Third Raikage stepped into the depths of the temple, he saw a figure kneeling before a statue of a god in the distance.
Seemingly influenced by the temple's atmosphere, the Third Raikage's footsteps gradually slowed down without him even realizing it.
The figure only slowly turned around when the Third Raikage was less than three meters away.
This is an old man dressed in priest's robes, the kind that looks quite ordinary—if you ignore the two horns on the top of his head.
This distinctive feature also reveals his identity.
The Horn Clan, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths!
And here is the Sage of Six Paths Temple built by the Horn Clan!
The Third Raikage paused, meeting the gaze of the old man from the Horn Clan.
Looking at the frail old man, the Third Raikage remembered the old man's identity.
The old patriarch of the Horn Clan, and also the father of Kinkaku Ginkaku.
After staring at each other for a long time, the Third Raikage turned his head first and looked at the Six Paths Ninja Tools enshrined on the altar.
"I need them!"
The Third Raikage's tone was somewhat stiff.
Since the Kinkaku and Ginkaku betrayed their village and assassinated the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage, the Horn Clan and the Kumogakure have been in an awkward situation.
Ultimately, after the deaths of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the Horn Clan survived by semi-retiring and agreeing to share the Six Paths Ninja Tools.
Of course, the presence of this "Kage" level powerhouse is also a significant factor.
But he's getting old and dying soon!
Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes.
The Six Paths Ninja Tools are too powerful; they shouldn't be controlled by a single clan!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the old man named Rikaku seemed intrigued and looked the Third Raikage, who was in his prime, up and down.
His expression was somewhat puzzled.
This Third Raikage has already surpassed his prime, but now he still needs the Six Paths Ninja Tools to help him kill enemies?
"Who is it that warrants such a fuss?"
Rikaku spoke, a hint of inquiry flickered in his eyes.
After so many years, has the Shinobi World seen another figure like Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha?
The Third Raikage glanced at him, recalling the feud between the Horn Clan and the Uchiha Clan that he had heard about before, and replied with interest, "It's the Uchiha Clan!"
"The Uchiha Clan has now produced another figure like Madara Uchiha!"
"A character like Madara Uchiha!!!"
Rikaku's previously cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifyingly fierce light!
Back then, when he was at the peak of his power, he traveled thousands of miles to the Land of Fire after hearing about Madara Uchiha's reputation. However, after witnessing Susanoo's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Susanoo, he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword!
In the end, they could only slink back to the Land of Lightning.
He was a warlike Horn Clan, a proud warrior, yet he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword!
This is a scar that will haunt him for life!
"Take it! You can take it all!"
At this moment, Rikaku seemed to come alive, his face radiant with an amazing glow!
He's serious about fighting the Uchiha!
The Third Raikage was somewhat surprised by all of this.
This senior seems to harbor quite a bit of resentment towards the Uchiha!
"Young man, I need to remind you of something."
Rikaku grinned maliciously and pointed a finger at the Six Paths Ninja Tools above.
"Against someone like Madara Uchiha, these tactics are only suitable for sneak attacks! You cannot win in a head-on battle!"
The Third Raikage's pupils contracted, then he solemnly nodded in agreement.
Given the current situation, the advice given by a powerful figure who had witnessed Madara Uchiha is extremely valuable for them!
After a moment's hesitation, the Third Raikage opened his mouth and asked.
"Are you interested in coming out of seclusion to witness the Uchiha Clan's fall from grace?"
As the Third Raikage spoke, a dark glint flashed in his eyes. If Rikaku to leave the mountain, then...
Rikaku listened to these words, glanced at him with interest, and then seemed to revert to being an ordinary old man.
"Fallen from their pedestal? More than two hundred years ago, when our ancestor, Bikaku, drove the Uchiha Clan out of the Land of Lightning, the Uchiha had already fallen from their pedestal!"
"What do these things matter now?"
Just as the Third Raikage was about to say something more, the old man shook his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more.
"Take it and go!"
Somewhere in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Makoto, observing this scene through White Zetsu, looked thoughtful.
The Horned Horn Clan are descendants of the Ōtsutsuki.
Just like the relationship between the Uchiha and Senju Clans, and between the Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Uzumaki Clan, the Horn Clan is a distant relative of the Kaguya Clan Hyuga Clan.
"Legend has it that the Kakuzu Horn Clan possesses an enormous amount of Chakra, is not skilled in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, but is extremely strong in Taijutsu and wields several Six Paths Ninja Tools!"
"Although I don't know who this person is, their Chakra reserves are already comparable to those of a weak Tailed Beast!"
Uchiha Makoto was reviewing everything.
Originally, he only received orders from the daimyo of various countries to have their respective villages' "kage" attack him. He then put some thought into the White Zetsu, which was originally intended to be used to hypnotize A from a distance, in order to guard against the use of the Six Paths Ninja Tools by the Kumogakure.
"The Six Paths Ninja Tools pose a slight threat to me, so I need to be on guard. Perhaps I can use Shadow Clone Technique as bait in the future."
Uchiha Makoto pondered the information about the various Six Paths Ninja Tools, his expression calm.
Aside from the Seven-Star Sword, which can ignore distance and specifically target Word Power, he has nothing else to worry about!
Uchiha Makoto raised his hand, and a black sphere appeared out of thin air above his palm!
Truth-Seeking Orb!
A representative of all things in the universe!
With him around, nothing from the other ninja villages could threaten him!
"Now, other matters clearly require my decision more!"
He raised his hand, his gaze falling on the exposed skin.
His skin was like white jade, seemingly shimmering in the sunlight. Even the original flesh color of his palms had faded. A gentle breeze swept by, and a strand of white hair drifted into his field of vision.
No, perhaps it should be described as silver?
Or it may be colorless, just appearing whitish.
"System, open the panel."

Uchiha Makoto stared blankly at the words "Evolving" behind the Eternal Eye and the nearly full level 5 clan points.
The improvement in strength felt like a dream!
"Furthermore, I can now generate my own Ōtsutsuki power!"
Uchiha Makoto spoke, somewhat hesitantly.
"I had heard before that because of his incomplete bloodline and advanced age, Madara Uchiha could only Rinnegan the most basic Rinnegan without the Tomoe."
"Now that I can generate the power of the Ōtsutsuki myself, should I replenish my bloodline?"
