Traveling Together

"Did you do this? You're from out of town!"

The Sage of Six Paths of Ren remained unmoved by Ren's words and asked him in a questioning tone.

At the same time, visible Chakra emerged from the cut on Ren's left hand.

It gradually changes from light blue to dark blue.

It quickly coalesced into a new arm.

Ren had no intention of answering the Sage of Six Paths' question.

As it happens, the Sage of Six Paths didn't intend to get an answer from Ren either.

After his arm recovered, the Sage of Six Paths, who had been staring intently at Ren, nodded to himself.

"That's it, it's you!"

After sensing the situation in the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths determined that the culprit was Ren.

There were no harsh words or promises made.

They attacked Ren directly.

[Banshō Ten'in!]

Ren and the Sage of Six Paths stood in the air. With nowhere to hold onto, Ren was caught off guard and flew towards his opponent at lightning speed.

The Sage of Six Paths had already interacted with Ren before and knew that he was from another world.

However, he possesses a considerable amount of Chakra within his body, and it is high-quality, genuine Chakra.

Besides that, like the Moryo, it possesses an immortal body, but its strength is much weaker than the Moryo's; only its defense is passable.

After understanding these basic facts, the Sage of Six Paths did not attempt to wear down Ren, but instead used his full power.

It doesn't mean using full power in the Banshō Ten'in; this technique is merely to shorten the distance between him and Ren.

Whether it was Ren stealing the Rinnegan or kicking away Madara's body, both were done in front of the Sage of Six Paths, so the two were not far apart.

Under the influence of the Banshō Ten'in, Ren was soon only an arm's length away from the Sage of Six Paths.

With Ren right in front of him, the Sage of Six Paths casually extended two palms, then withdrew his hands.

Massage?

The two palm strikes, which had no force whatsoever, did not cause any harm to Ren.

However, Ren's pupils contracted slightly immediately afterward, as the Sage of Six Paths withdrew his palms.

Ren saw the faintly glowing sun and moon markings on the palms of the Sage of Six Paths.

Then, the Sage of Six Paths clapped his hands together, and Ren immediately lost the ability to sense the presence of true energy.

[God - Chibaku Tensei!]

Unlike ordinary Chibaku Tensei, this technique, personally executed by the Sage of Six Paths, has no core element.

If we had to pinpoint it, the core of God's Chibaku Tensei is Ren himself, or rather, the true essence within Ren's body.

When the Sage of Six Paths activated the Sealing Jutsu, Ren could not sense the presence of his own true essence, but only for a moment.

Ren quickly regained his perception of true energy, but at this time Ren was completely unable to control the true energy within his body.

The true essence flowed spontaneously, then transformed into gravity, beginning to absorb everything around it.

The deserted island, destroyed by the aftershocks of Obito's ultimate Obito, provided excellent materials for the Chibaku Tensei.

Huge rocks surrounded the Ren, and then everything went dark.

His entire body was being constantly squeezed by rocks, with no gaps whatsoever.

Ren was tough enough; if it had been anyone else, it would probably have been crushed into minced meat long ago.

No wonder Chibaku Tensei is mostly used to seal Tailed Beast.

However, Ren still had some doubts. If it was only this weak, couldn't he have broken free with brute force?

As the stone sphere gradually increased in size, Ren's true essence was also being rapidly depleted.

Ren's doubts were quickly answered.

When only 10% of the body's true essence remains, the way the true essence flows within the body begins to change.

Surprisingly, it began to absorb Natural Energy from the outside world for Ren, automatically converting it into true essence. Moreover, this newly generated true essence only circulated once within Ren's body before entering the surrounding rocks.

While continuously strengthening the surrounding rocks, it is also further squeezing Ren's living space.

I see!

Ren suddenly understood; no wonder they couldn't find Otsutsuki Kaguya on the moon back then.

It is estimated that Kaguya's body was completely destroyed long ago.

Looking at it this way, while the Sage of Sage of Six Paths and his brother might have contributed a significant amount to creating the moon, Kaguya herself likely bore the Kaguya the effort.

Ren quickly confirmed his guess: at that time Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki of Sage of Six Paths, nor was he the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Despite being sealed away, Ren remained completely calm; he had plenty of ways to escape.

The Chibaku Tensei, capable of destroying Kaguya's body, was not even a concern for Ren.

No matter how vast Otsutsuki Kaguya's Chakra may be, she is essentially a living being composed of cells.

But what is Ren now? A fire giant, a magical creature. Although the pressure from the rocks can indeed damage Ren.

Even if the seal were to be activated for hundreds of years, it would still be impossible to destroy his body and turn all the stones into iron.

However, Ren did not directly use the size of the Ruyi, but instead broke the seal by brute force.

He wanted to try the normal methods to see if he could break through this Chibaku Tensei.

Kamui Space.

Black Zetsu had just arrived in this dimly lit area when he saw a strong and graceful body hurtling towards him.

Recognizing it at a glance as Madara Uchiha's Black Zetsu, instead of retreating, it advanced and instantly attached itself to Madara's body.

"Lord Madara, I finally did it!"

This mournful cry, like the lament of a cuckoo weeping blood, is so poignant that it breaks the heart and brings tears to the eyes of all who hear it.

Black Zetsu put on a great show, after all, he had a rather big conflict with Madara last time.

At the same time, a figure flashed past Madara's body.

It was Shisui who used the Flying Thunder God to carry the unconscious Naruto away.

Kakashi!

Obito knew what was going on without even thinking, and turned his head to look in the direction of the noise.

On a platform dozens of meters away from where he landed, Shisui, holding Naruto, appeared next to a white-haired ninja.

"Kakashi- senpai, the operation was a success, let's go!"

Kakashi, who had been staring intently at Obito's figure on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, instantly lost his lecherous expression and became serious.

[Kamui!]

The Shisui vanished instantly, Kakashi followed closely behind.

Obito watched this scene silently, not because he didn't want to stop it, but because he couldn't.

The right eye's Kamui leans towards defense; although it's also instantaneous, its range is limited.

He could teleport to Kakashi's side and use his right eye Kamui to counteract Kakashi's left eye Kamui.

But he and Kakashi weren't the only ones who would appear at the scene.

The countless Flying Thunder God Mark that filled the Kamui Space made Obito's Kakuzu twitch involuntarily.

This workload is clearly not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

One can imagine how many times Kakashi and Shisui went out together as a couple during the time they were sealing the Tailed Beast.

Obito felt a strange emotion similar to the feeling of having his candy stolen when he was a child.

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu was overjoyed.

He didn't know why Madara's soul was so weak and appeared incomplete.

To say that Madara was merely an empty shell at this point would be inaccurate.

Black Zetsu could sense the consciousness within Madara; it wasn't entirely absent, but it wasn't abundant either.

However, this is just as good, saving Black Zetsu a lot of trouble.

Still possessing Madara's right side, Black Zetsu controlled his right hand and rubbed the Rinnegan that Ren had kicked into an oval shape.

It must be said that the Rinnegan is indeed of good quality, as it returned to its spherical shape after being kneaded by Black Zetsu.

Then Black Zetsu first used his left hand to directly remove the Three-Tomoe Sharingan from his right eye, and then directly inserted the Rinnegan.

Convenient, quick, and clean.

Before Black Zetsu could rejoice for long, Obito's sinister voice rang out.

"Black Zetsu, can you tell me about the cooperation you mentioned by Uchiha Yushu?"

Obito's face darkened again, as if he would immediately attack Black Zetsu at the slightest provocation.

However, for some reason, Black Zetsu seemed to see a hint of resentment in Obito's expression.

Emotions are contagious. Recalling Ren's words, Black Zetsu seemed to feel the same way.

Why did you tell others about this matter between the two of you?

It works, but I'm too weak, and I don't have much true energy. It would probably take a long time to break through.

After trying out methods learned in later generations, Ren came to the above conclusion.

There is an ironclad rule in the human world: as long as the tradition continues, the younger generation will always surpass the older generation.

The reason why such a bizarre situation occurred in the Shinobi World, even evolving into the Ōtsutsuki Clan family in the original work, is because of this.

The reason for this is that humanity has never received a true inheritance from the Sage of Six Paths.

Even under such circumstances, the ninja never smelled it, and thus developed the technique to its ultimate form.

Since later generations were able to defeat the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even if they did not obtain any of their inheritance, they must have found ways to deal with the various methods Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Ren just tried a method he learned from later generations.

The strength of the effect doesn't matter; what matters is whether it works at all!

The fact that history had been altered made Ren distrustful of the methods used in later generations.

After all, what he learned wasn't any advanced method, but rather outdated techniques from some 'ancient books' from later generations.

Having confirmed its effectiveness, Ren wasted no more time, and his size increased dramatically.

On a murky, yellowish sea surface that seemed to be filled with silt.

The floating stone sphere, nearly a kilometer in diameter, shattered with a deafening roar.

First appeared two horns rolling with lava, followed by a giant sword, arms, and a body.

Ren broke through the [God- Chibaku Tensei] seal, which was said to be the strongest, by relying solely on brute force.

"Compared to that piece of trash, the Moryo, you are much stronger. Is this your true form?"

The Sage of Six Paths wasn't too surprised that Ren had broken the seal, and stared intently at Ren as he spoke.

"That's right, this is my true form!"

"Ren, transformed into a giant of fire, answered in a muffled voice."

Seeing that the Sage of Six Paths had no intention of making a move, Ren also Fudō, diligently absorbing Natural Energy to replenish his internal energy.

The Divine Chibaku Tensei is ineffective against Ren because Surtur is a magical being.

As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic.

Similarly, only true essence can defeat Chakra.

When everyone is weak, the outcome can perhaps be determined easily.

However, once a certain level is reached, different power systems become quite troublesome.

The Sage of Six Paths couldn't kill Ren, and even the strongest seal couldn't Ren.

But Ren felt the same way. What difference would it make if he killed the Sage of Six Paths before him?

He had already abandoned his physical body; his arrival here was merely a manifestation of his consciousness or, at most, a part of his soul.

Killing the guy in front of you, aside from venting your anger, will only make him hide even deeper.

Of course, if Ren were even stronger, he could directly overcome skill with brute force.

However, at this point, Ren's combat strength was at most at the stellar level, and he was a crude warrior.

Against a supreme being like the Sage of Six Paths, their strength was still far from sufficient.

Seeing that the Sage of Six Paths did not make a move immediately, Ren was also pondering his words, hoping to persuade the other side to surrender.

Unexpectedly, Ren hadn't spoken yet.

The Sage of Six Paths spoke first.

"Since you have come to this world, I have neglected you in order to fulfill my duty as a host. As the saying goes, no friend is born without a fight. Why don't we take this opportunity to become friends?"

As Ren looked on in astonishment, the figure of the Sage of Six Paths gradually grew taller.

"Let me first introduce myself. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, a native of this planet. My juniors respectfully bestow upon me the title of Sage of Six Paths."

At this moment, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' eyes no longer held any of that haughty indifference; instead, they were filled with gentleness, and his face no longer displayed the "keep away" attitude, but rather a kind expression.

His kind face, which far Hiruzen Sarutobi that of the old man Hiruzen, along with his wide haori and flowing beard, were striking.

He has an otherworldly air about him, looking exactly like an old immortal.

That's right. At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths no longer looked like Nagato, but had returned to his original form, and his Rinnegan had also become a pair.

Wow, I've met someone in the same line of work!

If I hadn't read the original book, I probably would have been completely fooled by you.

Ren forgot to transform back into human form, his eyes filled with surprise.

Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths assumed that Ren was shocked by the change in his appearance and smiled slightly.

"These are just minor tricks, not worth mentioning. Transforming into my true form is merely a gesture of sincerity!"

They've started acting!

Ren wasn't too surprised when he realized the other party wanted to impersonate him.

The Sage of Six Paths, who completely fooled Naruto and Sasuke, and the Hokage throughout the series in the original work, was indeed quite skilled.

It has about 50% of my strength.

"Mr. Yu Yi, it is true that we became acquainted through a fight. Hagoromo Uchiha Yushu, I'm sure you've heard of the name of this body."

Then, after Ren shrunk to about the same size as the Sage of Six Paths, he spoke again.

"As for myself, Carl El, captain of the Kryptonian Vanguard!"

As he spoke, Ren struck a smug pose, pointing his nostrils at the Sage of Six Paths with a mocking air.

The Sage of Six Paths was momentarily bewildered by Ren's arrogant demeanor and his mocking, playful gaze.

Krypton? Is it that powerful?

And what does that expression of yours mean?

"Still playing dumb? Don't tell me you don't know that one of Krypton's missions is to clean up you Ōtsutsuki Clan rats."

Ren's confident tone, coupled with his mocking expression.

This left the Sage of Six Paths somewhat bewildered; I truly had no idea.

Would you believe me if I told you I've never met my maternal family since I was a child?

"Captain Carl, there may be a misunderstanding here. Would you mind if I explained?"

"Oh, your last words? Tell me!"

Ren waited with great interest for the Sage of Six Paths to speak.

Then the Sage of Six Paths used the same rhetoric he used to fool Naruto and Sasuke.
