Pure Land, Chessboard are the core areas.
There are no other chess pieces here to disturb you. It is empty and quiet, as if it is an independent world.
The Wood Release Susanoo confrontation between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the aftermath of the battle between Kaguya and Asura, and the energy fluctuations coming from everywhere are like distant scenery. Although they have an impact, they cannot interfere with the two "chess players" here.
A standard Go piece Chessboard is suspended between Sage of Six Paths and Naruto Uzumaki.
On Chessboard, black and white light spots are scattered at random, forming a... well, quite "unique" chess game.
Sage of Six Paths sat cross-legged and put Black Staff on his lap, with a calm expression. His eyes occasionally glanced at Chessboard, or looked at the fierce fighting in the distance, as if everything was under control.
The Naruto Uzumaki on the opposite side looks a little... different.
Not only was he sitting on the Jade General seat, but he was also wearing a simple but very strong wooden helmet that was improvised with Wood Release on his head, covering his blond hair tightly.
At this moment, Naruto is staring attentively at the Go game Chessboard in front of him, his brows furrowed, as if he is thinking hard.
But that chess game... if anyone who knows Go saw it, I'm afraid they would be shocked.
The black and white chess pieces are crisscrossed, but it is more like playing backgammon than Go.
At this moment, in the distance in the direction of Neji Hyuga, another dazzling Golden sword light crashed down. Even though it was far away, the majestic power and dazzling light were clearly visible.
Sensing this force, Naruto's frown suddenly relaxed, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered the farce on the Hyuga Elder team that he just saw through the coach's perspective.
"Haha," Naruto chuckled, with a bit of joking in his tone, "It's really interesting. They are already dead, their souls have returned to Pure Land, and they are still showing off their arrogant airs.
It seems that some old antiques can't get rid of their problems even after death."
Obviously, he was referring to Hyuga Second Elder's desperate clamor.
When Sage of Six Paths heard this, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"Having been in a high position for a long time, holding power, and being accustomed to giving orders and bossing around, it is inevitable that one will forget one's past and mistake the power gained from one's position for one's own eternal truth. Even after death, this obsession and habit are often difficult to eradicate."
He paused, his eyes seemed to be cast in the direction of the Hyuga battlefield, and added, "This Hyuga's Second Elder... deserves this."
The implication is that this kind of guy who cannot see the situation clearly, relies on his old skills, and even hits the point of a gun, is punished by Neji, and it is his own fault, and it is inevitable.
After saying that, Sage of Six Paths returned his gaze to Chessboard in front of him, and... the particularly eye-catching Wood Release helmet on Naruto's head.
The corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, but he finally couldn't hold it back and asked speechlessly:
"You can just play Go as backgammon."
He obviously saw that Naruto did not understand the rules of Go at all. If we talk about the rules of Go, Naruto was obviously making random moves.
"But why are you wearing a helmet?"
This look is really a bit too chic.
Dignified Sixth Hokage, in such an important game, how decent is it to carry a wooden shell?
When Naruto heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he raised his hand and touched the smooth and hard Wood Release helmet on his head as a matter of course. He grinned and revealed White Fang:
"This? It's just a precautionary measure!"
He pointed at the messy chess pieces on Chessboard and said confidently:
"I can't play Go!
If the game is too stinky and you regret it too much, I'm afraid you can't help but pick up this Chessboard and hit me on the head directly."
After all, who would play chess without wearing a helmet?
The fate of the Han Chess Saint's opponent can be described as being the one who came from behind.
Naruto had an expression of "I am doing this for your own good and for my own good": "I am thick-skinned and not afraid of being smashed, but this Chessboard of yours looks very precious, so it would be a pity if it got smashed.
Wear a helmet, safety first!"
Sage of Six Paths:"..."
He was so choked by Naruto's fallacy that he was speechless for a long time.
There was a rare moment of blankness and an absurd sense of "Who am I playing chess with?" on that face of Furui Mubo.
Having lived for thousands of years and witnessed countless heroes, conspiracies, and joys and sorrows, this is the first time he has encountered an "opponent" with such a strange painting style.
"Okay."
After a long time, Sage of Six Paths waved his hands feebly, with a hint of deep exhaustion in his tone.
"As you wish."
He could finally see that arguing with Naruto Uzumaki about such trivial details was just asking for trouble.
This Kid doesn't care at all about chess game etiquette, master's demeanor, how to do it however you feel comfortable, and how to do it directly.
Sage of Six Paths was extremely speechless at this moment.
Through observation and intelligence, he originally thought that Naruto Uzumaki was the template of a "traditional hero" who had gone through hardships, had an iron will, had a clear goal, acted decisively, and would do anything to protect his companions and ideas.
After getting in touch with him, I discovered that he indeed had those qualities, but his personality was unexpectedly casual, even a little out of touch and bad-tempered.
It was completely different from what he expected.
On the other side, Naruto Uzumaki was also complaining crazily in his heart.
He originally thought that what Sage of Six Paths said before, "Let's just pretend we are playing Go" was just a metaphor to ease the embarrassment, or a description of some kind of strategic layout.
Who knew this old man would actually come for real!
He actually took out a Go piece Chessboard on the spot and seriously invited him to play the game.
Naruto looked at the nineteen-dimensional Chessboard in front of him, which was like a heavenly book to him, and then looked at Sage of Six Paths opposite, with his "immortal spirit, a master of the world" style, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This old man just bullies himself that he can't play chess.
I can't even understand the rules of Go, but this old man insists on using Go to decide the outcome. Isn't this an obvious advantage?
Who has the ability to punch harder than anyone else?
So, with the feeling of "I can't let you get too proud", and because I really can't play, Naruto just broke the pot and played Go into backgammon. In order to prevent it from happening, I even got a Wood Release helmet and put it on.
Who can play chess with you seriously?
This old man is clearly an old man playing tricks on a naughty boy!
"Don't say that I'm bullying you, it's because you don't use Susanoo."
After forcing Sasuke Uchiha back again, Uchiha Tajima spoke with a smile.
