"But if those aliens win, then the era of ninjas will come to an end, not to mention the Kumogakure."
The Fourth Raikage felt his Chakra had almost fully recovered, so he threw himself back into his work.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire.
The Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki floated cross-legged above a waterfall, their eyes fixed on the sky.
"They're out."
"Hmm, the aura of the Isshiki has disappeared. It seems we have won in the end."
A look of satisfaction appeared on the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' face.
"Then, brother, how should we get along with Uchiha Meikyō from now on? The Ninja World is too small after all, I'm worried..."
Hamura Otsutsuki hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"We are not living beings after all. Most of the time we sleep in the gap between Yin and Yang, using our souls to perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth. We cannot disturb Uchiha Meikyō. He is just a young man who has just turned thirty. There are still too many sights in this world for him to cherish. We will not clash in the short term. Moreover... his strength has already surpassed yours and mine. Now, in order to resolve the Isshiki, we have expended a large amount of Yin Power and Yang Power. We don't know how many years it will take to recover. If we really clash with him, we are probably no match for him. So, it is best not to clash if possible. We have already taught him the Six Paths Power and expressed our goodwill. He should not be that kind of person, so don't worry."
The Sage of Six Paths withdrew his gaze.
Because a Teleportation Circle appeared ahead.
Congratulations, everyone.
The Sage of Six Paths nodded slightly to the three people who stepped out of the teleportation portal, opened his palm, and retrieved his Six Paths Yang Power.
This power essentially belongs to him; it's just that Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju are the reincarnations of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' children, and thus can perfectly bear this power.
"Hahaha, actually Madara and I weren't much of a help. We only managed to hold back Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. But thank you anyway, Sage of Six Paths."
Hashirama Senju and burst into laughter.
"Sage of Six Paths, do you know anything about the Karma of the Otsutsuki Clan? We retrieved his Karma and plan to revive him on a weaker individual. By then, he won't have time to leave a new Karma, and we'll kill him then, and that will be his true death!"
Uchiha Madara looked at the Sage of Six Paths and asked.
Manner...
That's already considered very respectful to Ban.
The Sage of Six Paths did not blame Madara for his tone.
He knew his eldest son's personality well.
"As for the Karma, Hamura and I don't know either. We are not true Otsutsuki after all, but only have half of the Otsutsuki bloodline. Perhaps we can also have the qualifications to be Karma, but Mother never told us about this method."
The Sage of Six Paths shook his head and said.
At this moment, Meikyō had already taken out his bulky flip phone from his pocket and sent a message to Dan Katō and the others.
"Then let's temporarily seal this wedge of the Isshiki. After that, I will send my clones to investigate the different dimensions in Amenominaka one by one, and seal the moon."
I'm too lazy to search the Moon Meikyō inch by inch.
Why not just seal the entire moon away?
"Then I'll have to trouble you. We and Hamura have exhausted too much of our strength and are no longer able to do these things."
Meikyō understood the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' unspoken meaning and immediately replied with a hint of ambiguity:
"It's not troublesome. Those who are capable will naturally have more to do. Similarly, if everyone just does what they are supposed to do and doesn't interfere with each other, peace will naturally follow."
The Sage of Six Paths nodded slowly.
"The living are responsible for the world of the living, and the dead are responsible for the world of the dead. Now that this matter is over, Hamura and I should return to the Pure Land. So, I entrust everything to you, all living beings in this Ninja World."
"So, are we the dead or the living now? If we say we're the dead, our bodies are still alive; if we say we're the living, we've already died once."
Hashirama Senju looked at his hands with a somewhat bewildered expression.
Uchiha Madara looked up at the sky, equally bewildered.
I don't know what to do in the future.
"Since you have a heartbeat, you breathe, you can experience the coolness of the wind, the gentleness of the water, the warmth of the sun, the flow of blood, you can experience joy and sorrow, and you have your own thoughts, why aren't you a living being?"
The Sage of Six Paths wore a smile, his face serene, reminiscent of the Buddha's serene smile.
"The struggle between Indra and Asura has lasted for thousands of years. Now the Senju and Uchiha no longer have any conflicts. Everything in the Ninja World is under the control of Uchiha Meikyō. You no longer have the ideological conflicts of the past. Why can't you regard this resurrection as a new life, abandon all past conflicts, and walk together in this world to see what it's like?"
Old Deng genuinely hopes that Indra and Asura can reconcile, but he won't intervene; instead, he'll let the two boys resolve it themselves.
It can only be said that the Sage of Six Paths' teaching methods were rather strange and not very successful.
The two sons were fighting, and the father didn't try to stop them but just watched the show!
"Is that so? That's good. I'm quite curious about what the Ninja World has become now. Madara, it would be perfect if you could explain it to me."
"Hmph, I only know about what happened a year ago at most, and after that, it was the time when I was possessed by Isshiki."
Uchiha Madara his arms and said bluntly, but the implication was that he agreed.
"Oh, you agreed, Madara! That's wonderful!"
A hearty smile appeared on Hashirama's Hashirama.
The massive defensive barrier protecting the Ninja World has not disappeared.
This is Meikyō's request.
Because he had to seal the moon first.
In essence, it involves sending more meteorites into space and bringing them around the moon, then using the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei to envelop the original moon, instantly doubling its size.
Such a commotion would inevitably have a significant impact on the Ninja World below, which is why Meikyō requested that the barrier be maintained.
First, the moon needs to be pushed further away, while simultaneously using spatial abilities in conjunction with Reality Warping to maintain Earth's original gravitational pull before these meteorites are pulled onto the moon.
However, space is very empty, and the moon is quite large. Searching slowly would be too time-consuming. Meikyō simply opened the Amenominaka and dug out all the stones and sand from the All-killing Ash Bones Space and the Desert Space.
The gaps between the stones were filled with sand, and then an All-Forms Seal was placed on the outside. Even the Isshiki Rebirth at its peak would have a hard time escaping from inside.
Just as Meikyō returned to the Ninja World, Torifu Akimichi, stationed in Konoha, sent an important message.
A man Amado, who claimed to have been Isshiki subordinate of Isshiki, brought a bunch of things and asked to see Meikyō.
"Are you Amado?"
In a secret room with the highest level of secrecy in Konoha, Meikyō met the young scientist wearing red goggles.
"It was me. I worked for Isshiki. He established a Kara in the Ninja World to help him obtain the God Tree Fruit and find a suitable container for the Karma. In return, he promised us that after he obtained the God Tree Fruit, he would grant all our wishes."
Amado pushed up his Glasses and said.
In the next room, Yamanaka Inoichi sat at his desk, rapidly writing interrogation notes while watching the surveillance footage, while Nara Shikaku quickly analyzed all the intelligence.
"It seems he broke his promise."
Meikyō looked at Amado and said.
Amado lowered his head slightly.
"Yes, but I think you can do it."
"Explain."
Meikyō looked at the young scientist in front of him and said.
"Isshiki me into Kara because he coveted my biotechnology. My daughter, Akebi, died of a terminal illness, and I created Isshiki Akebi to use my biotechnology to create a vessel for Karma, so he promised me that he would revive my daughter after he succeeded. While you were fighting Isshiki, I hacked into the space satellite that your Konoha launched last year and witnessed your battle with Isshiki. Both Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara were dead, yet you were able to bring them back as the living. So..."
"Whether you can resurrect your daughter depends on your worth. Life and death are the natural rules of the universe. Violating the rules comes at a price. I need to see if your worth is worth that price."
Meikyō understood what Amado meant and looked at the other person's Glasses as he spoke.
"I see."
Amado bowed his head again and said:
"Six months ago, Isshiki used a puppet to send back a pool of strange black liquid. That black liquid eventually turned into a strange creature that called itself Kageki. As Isshiki's will, it took his place to lead the Kara in the Ninja World. According to my deduction, it may be a life-like entity that he created by combining Karma and Yin-Yang Release. Now he is planning to find a suitable container to revive Isshiki."
Meikyō immediately realized that what Isshiki left in the acid space of Amenominaka was just a smokescreen.
Amado continues to increase its investment.
"I can act as an inside agent to help you find the Kageki. Moreover, I brought a gift with me this time, an Isshiki of Otsutsuki remains that I value highly!"
"The remains of the Otsutsuki?"
"Yes, Isshiki called this remains 'Shibai'. He always hoped to obtain power from these remains and ordered me to study them and transfer the power to other individuals, but I never succeeded."
Otsutsuki Shibai!
"I agree to your request, but your daughter can only be resurrected after I obtain the remains of Shibai and find the Kageki. Moreover, you and your daughter will be secretly monitored by the Konoha Ninja for the rest of your lives."
"I have no objection."
Amado believed that such restrictions were acceptable as long as it could bring his daughter back to life.
"Then let's set off now. First, tell me the location of Kageki."
Meikyō reached out and pressed down on Amado's shoulder.
"The Land of Wind, Golden Wheel Coast".
The spatial teleportation was activated, leaving behind an empty secret room, and in the next room Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi staring at each other in bewilderment.
A year ago, the battle between Meikyō and Madara, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, turned the entire Golden Wheel Mountain Range into a basin. Later, his clash with Isshiki used this place as the Qidian to split the continent and create a large island.
A quarter of the Land of Wind was gone in an instant.
The Golden Wheel Mountain Range were transformed into the Golden Wheel Coast.
Because this place was the core of that battle, it suffered the most damage, resulting in low Natural Energy concentration and an extremely harsh environment. Few people would come here, so the Kara set it up as a secret base.
It is located on the edge of the coast, more than 100 meters underground.
Kageki was unaware that Meikyō had been taken nearby by Amado. Instead, he possessed the body of a captured ninja, attempting to use him as a vessel to cover Ichishiki with Karma and Isshiki him.
However, the Karma incantation only covered less than half of the body before the ninja's flesh automatically disintegrated into a pile of minced meat.
"Useless! They're all a bunch of useless trash!"
Kageki's personality was clearly much more volatile than that of his fellow Black Zetsu, and he kept cursing angrily.
"My lord, if we want to revive the noble Otsutsuki, the bodies of these ordinary ninjas are definitely not enough. It would probably take twenty years to find a ninja who is genetically compatible. The best choice is still those ninjas whose bloodline is close to that of the Otsutsuki."
A small old man with a V-shaped tattoo on his face and wearing an eye patch stood behind Kageki and spoke respectfully.
His name is Victor, an inner member of the Kara.
"Ninjas with bloodlines close to the Otsutsuki are not necessarily capable, it's just that the probability is higher. In the past, Isshiki- sama captured members of the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan as vessels. Although some of them might be better than Jigen, Isshiki- sama predicted that it would only extend his resurrection time from three days to seven days, which was not worth it. However, if a ninja's bloodline is truly close enough to the Otsutsuki, there is still a high chance that he can withstand the power of Karma."
Another tall, white-haired old man with three vertical lines tattooed on his face chimed in.
This person is also an inner member of the Kara and the leader of the cult Ōtsutsuki Cult, Boro.
"In the current Ninja World, whose bloodline is close enough to that of the Otsutsuki?"
Kageki asked the two of them.
Boro and Victor exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"Uchiha Meikyō." ×2
Kageki:...
"Then... how about you go and capture Uchiha Meikyō?"
"Huh? Us?"
Victor pointed to his one eye.
Boro also lowered his head.
Even Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was no match for Uchiha Meikyō. Even if Boro believed that he could defeat most Jonin after being modified and was considered a top-tier ninja in the Ninja World, he knew that Uchiha Meikyō could kill him with just a flick of his finger.
"Um... Uchiha Meikyō... seems a bit unlikely."
Boro said awkwardly.
"Then why are you still bringing him up?"
"What I mean is, we can choose someone whose bloodline is similar to that of Uchiha Meikyō."
"Victor replied."
"It seems that the only people closest to him by blood are Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Tatsu. Uchiha Shisui has the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, so there's definitely no hope for him. Uchiha Tatsu is the vice president of the Imperial House Trading Company, and he has powerful protectors around him, so it's not easy for him to make a move. However, he is a good choice, but I have a better suggestion."
