After several days on the road, the members of Fire Squad finally left the Land of Lightning and entered the Land of Fire.
Whenever they stopped to rest over the past few days, Zou Hyuga studied his two spoils, the Seven Stars Sword and Benihisago. They truly deserved to be called Six Paths Tools. Without knowing how they worked, even the Five Kage would struggle to defend against them.
Tobirama Senju, a master of forbidden techniques who had also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, had died to this very ninjutsu.
After his preliminary research, Zou Hyuga was almost certain that the materials used to make these two ninja tools were connected to the God Tree. Whether the Sage of Six Paths had made them remained unknown, but they were certainly worthy of the Six Paths name.
Although a thousand years had passed since the threat of the God Tree, its remains continued to influence the Shinobi World.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku were very likely descendants of Hagoromo and Hamura who had undergone some degree of ancestral reversion. Otherwise, they could never have survived consuming nine-tails chakra.
