The Sage of Six Paths had planned to watch a little longer. If the Shinobi World truly could not hold out, he would personally make arrangements.
But everything that happened next left him utterly bewildered.
The thought had barely crossed his mind. He had not even found the right moment to act!
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, renowned and powerful enough to make even Kaguya wary!
Gone!
Just like that, gone!
Someone had silently ambushed him from the shadows. A single All-Killing Ash Bone pierced his body, and he disintegrated into ash on the spot. Not a trace remained. His death was absolute and complete.
The Sage of Six Paths froze in the void of the Pure Land, his face filled with disbelief.
Isshiki? Gone, just like that?
Before he could process this absurd outcome, something even more incomprehensible entered his awareness.
The person who had slain Isshiki was Otsutsuki Hara.
The instant he heard that name, the Sage of Six Paths' mind went blank.
Otsutsuki Hara?
That was utter nonsense!
Having lived for a thousand years, he knew every secret, from his mother Kaguya's arrival on this planet to their falling-out and her sealing, then the founding of Ninshu and his eventual passing.
He did have a younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki.
But he had never had a younger sister!
There was no such person as Otsutsuki Hara!
When the Sky Screen first revealed Hara's character profile, past, abilities, and storyline, the Sage of Six Paths had watched coldly, seeing it all for what it was.
She was a fictitious character the Sky Screen had invented out of thin air, a fabricated premise meant to mislead everyone in the Shinobi World.
At one point, he had even believed the Sky Screen was simply making up stories and toying with people's hearts.
But now!
