"No. How could the Sage of Six Paths possibly lose?"
Seeing the Sage of Six Paths' figure go from solid to fading once more, Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a loss for words. That was the Sage of Six Paths.
Ever since childhood, Sarutobi Hiruzen had remembered the Sage of Six Paths as the founder of the Ninjutsu Sect, the god of the Shinobi World, and the strongest being in the Shinobi World. Yet his current performance was rather disappointing.
The greatest sage in the Shinobi World could not even defeat a little brat.
"That is perfectly normal. That evil Uchiha brat has already reached the level of a top-tier ninja, while the Sage of Six Paths is merely an illusory form. Even if he is the Sage of Six Paths, what can he do?"
Tobirama Senju looked at the dejected Sarutobi Hiruzen and gave his own assessment.
He had personally experienced Xuanyu's terror. Standing before Uchiha Xuan Yu, he had possessed no ability to resist whatsoever. Even after using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could not escape Xuanyu's attack range.
Therefore,
it was possible for the Sage of Six Paths to lose.
However,
that meant there might be no one to save his brother, Hashirama Senju. He might even be banished outright.
"But he is the Sage of Six Paths! The founder of the Ninjutsu Sect!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was hesitant. Looking at Tobirama Senju, he spoke helplessly. "If even he is no match for Uchiha Xuan Yu, what do we have to take revenge with?"
Xuanyu's strength had driven Sarutobi Hiruzen into despair.
If things truly went on like this, could he really lose?
No. Absolutely not.
He still wanted revenge on Xuanyu. He wanted to wipe out the Uchiha Clan completely to avenge Konohamaru and Sarutobi Asuma.
