"Run! The Sage of Six Paths is going to attack you!"
"Hurry!"
The two Tailed Beasts spoke in unison, urging the pair to flee. They too had sensed the Sage of Six Paths' overwhelming Killing Intent. If they did not run, they might be finished.
It was simply unimaginable. The two of them could be killed with ease.
"It's already too late!" Naruto said, momentarily at a loss for words.
The Sage of Six Paths, who had been a kilometer away just moments ago, had already appeared before Naruto, looking down at him from above.
At that moment,
he, Kakashi, and Sakura finally experienced the terror of a sage for the first time.
Under the sage's imposing pressure, it felt as though even their breathing would stop. Sakura could not muster a single thought of resistance. The terrifying pressure had caused her mind to shut down for a moment.
This time, Sasuke was the one supporting Sakura. His Mangekyō Sharingan flickered with an eerie gleam as he stared at the Sage of Six Paths, as though he would struggle desperately if the sage tried to attack them.
"Heh, heh. You're all quite promising little ones!"
"Boy, your relationship with the Nine-Tails seems quite good. If you were allowed to grow, you might have a chance to inherit Asura's Chakra. But unfortunately, you will not be able to keep growing!"
"Shukaku actually wants to resist me because of you? Interesting."
"A mere brief nurturing by Six Paths Power has already changed your eyes. If you continued to grow, they might truly evolve into the Rinnegan. What a pity for Indra's Chakra. I'd better take it back!"
The Sage of Six Paths swept his gaze over the three of them, seeing through their circumstances completely. His merciless eyes were filled with indifference.
