The Sage of Six Paths on a 007 Schedule

Impure World, a world where living flesh exists.

Pure Land, the world where the souls of the dead reside.

Between the Impure World and the Pure Land, a figure's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

This figure is associated with various legends in the Shinobi World: the creator god, the progenitor of ninjas, the creator of Chakra, the founder of the Ninshu, and the Sage of Six Paths.

All these names point to one person, simply because different legends from different regions have different names for him: Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

His most widely known title is the Sage of Six Paths.

His confusion was simple: a task that had been going on for thousands of years had suddenly undergone some unexpected changes.

The speed increased, increased at an abnormal rate.

This is something that has never happened in a thousand years.

The ninjas provided the Sage of Six Paths with physical and spiritual energy to convert into Chakra, which the Sage of Six Paths then lent out.

In peacetime, the population increases, Chakra production grows steadily, but this stability is not applicable in critical moments.

Whenever this happens, a slight stirring of emotions through Chakra will trigger conflict, followed by a large-scale melee.

In battle, ninjas will sacrifice their own lifespan to gain power, causing their Chakra to surge dramatically, thus clearing obstacles for the Sage of Six Paths.

The Shinobi World thus entered an endless cycle of peace and war.

Black Zetsu, a guy who hides everywhere and only knows how to use sweet talk, could not possibly keep the Shinobi World mired in war for a thousand years.

No one wants to live a bad life, and it's impossible for humans to remain unchanged for thousands of years.

Black Zetsu cannot affect everyone, but the Sage of Six Paths can.

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, revered as the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, spent a long time interacting with humans before abandoning his physical body.

Through Chakra connection, the Sage of Six Paths had a full understanding of human nature.

Evil, greed, kindness, restraint...

Humans are a complex of contradictions, and the only species that kills each other for all sorts of inexplicable reasons.

That's great!

Without using much power, with just a little guidance, one can make the human world move according to one's own will.

The Sage of Six Paths saw a bright future ahead. After gaining insight into human nature, he divided the Tailed Beast and spread his Chakra widely.

All preparations are complete, and the work has begun.

After nearly a thousand years of effort, on the eve of success, the Sage of Six Paths discovered that the final obstacle was beyond his imagination.

Even in this worst-case scenario, the Sage of Six Paths had already prepared a backup plan a thousand years ago.

Asura and Indra can exert maximum influence.

The strongest Asura and Indra in a thousand years have been born.

Thus, the Warring States Era ended, and the era of the Ninja Village began.

The population and number of ninjas during peacetime far exceed those of any era in the past thousand years.

The intensity of the war also surpassed any time in the past millennium.

After the Third Shinobi World War.

Obstacles, easily overcome.

Ahead lies a smooth road!

The Sage of Six Paths, who was making a final, all-out effort, discovered that his speed had increased.

Even if it's only by a tiny margin, perhaps less than one ten-thousandth, it has definitely sped up.

This is not normal!

The first thing to do was to check the seal on my mother's body, and found nothing unusual.

The second step is to examine the condition of the Asura and Indra.

This is definitely not normal.

Indra's Chakra has begun to intertwine with Asura Chakra.

During further investigation, the Sage of Six Paths discovered the reason.

Naruto, wearing a hood, walked cautiously through Konoha on his way to pick up his pre-ordered dinner.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the packaged dinner from the restaurant owner.

After carefully observing his surroundings, Naruto quickly headed towards the inn.

The house is no longer habitable!

When the inn's door came into view, Naruto felt much relieved, and his vigilance decreased.

Just then, a flicker of excitement flashed in the pair of red eyes perched on a branch above its head.

"Ah! Sasuke Uchiha, I'm going to kill you!"

From his senses, the Sage of Six Paths clearly discovered that Sasuke Uchiha had begun sucking Naruto's blood after his successful sneak attack.

Sasuke Uchiha is growing up rapidly.

The Sage of Six Paths naturally noticed Indra's unusual behavior after watching the entire process.

However, this also led the Sage of Six Paths to confirm that the anomaly was unrelated to his two sons.

Then the Sage of Six Paths recalled a ninja he had once encountered who was difficult to understand. He could clearly sense the Chakra, but there was always a veil of mystery surrounding him.

After that incident, the Sage of Six Paths tampered with Ren's Chakra. Although he was his descendant, he was not his son, so the impact was neither significant nor minor.

Reconnecting to the Chakra network, the Sage of Six Paths found himself unable to detect Ren.

Dead?

Impossible, it's not even in the Pure Land!

Is it sealed?

The Sage of Six Paths is uncertain.

Having lost his target, the Sage of Six Paths had no choice but to begin a thorough investigation.

At the same time, I also diverted some of my attention to observe where the change had occurred.

The two parts found their results almost simultaneously, one after the other.

First, the Sage of Six Paths realized that his previous conclusion was wrong; the speed had not increased, but instead slowed down, by a tiny bit.

The reason you feel like you're going faster is because the finish line is getting closer!

Meanwhile, the Sage of Six Paths also found Ren through the only researcher who had not yet been transformed.

They also discovered more than ten people who were being transformed, and what they were going through.

What kind of behavior is Ren doing?

This is picking peaches, this is stealing cake!

Although it was just a tiny bit of breadcrumbs, the Sage of Six Paths couldn't tolerate it; he made the cake, and it rightfully belonged to him entirely.

The Sage of Six Paths cannot leave; it is not advisable to give up the whole cake for a few crumbs.

However, Ren's actions indirectly freed up space for the Sage of Six Paths, giving him some time to take action personally.

The god of the Shinobi World has descended!
