Uchiha Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Oh?"
The Sage of Six Paths ' voice grew increasingly deep, yet it carried a greed that had been suppressed for a thousand years.
Do you know what the Root Dimension is?
This is not an ordinary space.
"This is the prototype of the world that my mother Teuchi."
"Sand, ice and snow, lava, supergravity, and acid sea—these five dimensions all originate from this."
"This place holds the most essential, primordial divine power of the Mother."
He looked at the sealed celestial body, and an undisguised fervor finally appeared in his aged Rinnegan.
"Only by controlling the Root Dimension."
"Only I can truly devour my mother's immortality."
Only then can one fully utilize the essence of the God Tree, the bloodline of the Otsutsuki, and the foundation of the Progenitor of Chakra.
"Otherwise, even if Mother is sealed away, I can only watch her power from behind the seal."
Uchiha Xin's eyes gradually turned cold.
He finally understood completely.
The Sage of Six Paths did not act on a whim.
That old man has been waiting from the very beginning.
Waiting for Kaguya to be resurrected.
Kaguya was pushed into the Root Dimension.
He would wait until he and Kaguya fought to the point of mutual destruction.
Wait for the seal to complete.
Finally, he came in to harvest.
Uchiha Xin slowly opened his mouth.
"So the reason you haven't entered the Root Dimension before isn't because you didn't want to."
"They can't get in."
The Sage of Six Paths did not deny it.
"My mother controlled this place before she died."
"After she was sealed away, the Root Dimension was hidden deep within her origin."
Even if I were her son, I could never truly reach her.
But you are different.
He looked at Uchiha Xin, his voice tinged with mockery.
"You forced Mother to use the five spatial origins in succession."
"He then forced her to use the Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb within the Root Dimension."
"Finally, he personally used the Chibaku Tensei to suppress her here."
"You paved the way."
"You're the one who sent this old man into this place I've coveted for a thousand years."
" Uchiha Xin, in this respect, I should thank you."
The smile vanished from Uchiha Xin's face.
With each word spoken by the Sage of Six Paths, the sealed celestial body in the Root Dimension trembled slightly.
His words seemed to have stirred up a deeper, more fundamental fluctuation within them.
Deep within the seal, Kaguya's presence remained suppressed.
Yet the Root Dimension itself seems to be responding to this ancient cause and effect.
Uchiha Xin finally raised his right hand.
The Truth-Seeking Orb flew out from behind him instantly.
No need for thanks.
"Your death here is more real than anything else."
The Sage of Six Paths did not retreat.
He looked at the Truth-Seeking Orb Uchiha Xin had conjured, and even a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
"Those who come after will ultimately only see what's in front of them."
"Do you think I've been sleeping in the Pure Land for the past thousand years?"
"You think I only rely on those two reincarnated pawns Naruto and Sasuke?"
You're wrong.
The Sage of Six Paths slowly raised his hands.
His robes fluttered without wind, and the Truth-Seeking Orb behind him rose one by one, like nine small black suns hanging above his head.
"I am different from my mother."
"My mother possesses immortality, the Root Dimension, and the Ten-Tails."
"And I, this old man, possess the history of the entire Shinobi World."
Uchiha Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next second.
The void in front of the Sage of Six Paths suddenly cracked open.
Not Yomotsu Hirasaka.
It's not an ordinary portal either.
What surged from that crack was not darkness, but a vast, endless ocean of white Chakra.
Rumble!
White Chakra surged forth, like countless souls growling within it.
The rubble in the Root Dimension trembled violently from this force.
Several lines on the surface of the sealed celestial body were illuminated.
Uchiha Xin stared at the white ocean, his pupils contracting slightly.
He saw figures inside.
The first one.
The second course.
The third course.
Densely packed.
Countless souls emerged from the ocean of white Chakra.
There was an old man dressed in a shadow robe.
There are samurai wielding long swords.
There was a burly man whose entire body was crackling with lightning.
It includes powerful figures from the past generations of Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Konoha.
Their eyes were initially vacant, but were quickly illuminated by the Sage of Sage of Six Paths 'Chakra.
Powerful auras rose one after another from the white ocean.
Uchiha Xin's gaze swept over those familiar faces.
The First Kazekage.
Second Mizukage.
The Third Raikage
The Third Tsuchikage.
The souls of the Five Kage throughout history manifested one after another.
Next up are the powerful figures from various ninja villages who once dominated the Shinobi World.
Nagato stood in the white tide, the soul projection of the Rinnegan coldly opening.
Obito's half-mask appeared, his single eye filled with complexity and numbness.
Uchiha Izuna stood not far from Madara's figure, holding a sword.
Jiraiya's white hair fluttered within his soul Chakra.
Konoha Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang of the Leaf, slowly raised his head.
Even the soul imprints of the four Impure World Reincarnation Hokage appeared as phantoms in the depths of the ocean.
There are even more people.
Uchiha Xin couldn't recall his name.
But each of them left their mark as a powerful figure in a certain era of the Shinobi World.
A killing god of the Sengoku period.
The head of a powerful clan before the establishment of the First Shinobi Village.
Monster ninjas who died in the various Shinobi World Wars.
Even some ancient and powerful beings whose names have long been erased by history have gradually emerged from the white ocean.
There are too many of them.
There were so many that the entire Root Dimension felt crowded.
If the Allied Shinobi Forces were still conscious, they would probably collapse on the spot upon seeing this scene.
Because those gathered here are almost not from any particular generation of ninjas.
Rather, they were the strongest group of dead in the entire Shinobi World in a thousand years.
Uchiha Xin finally understood.
He looked at the Sage of Six Paths, his voice as cold as ice.
"The so-called Pure Land for Ninja Souls..."
"So it was you who created it."
The Sage of Six Paths did not deny it.
On the contrary, a genuine sense of pride appeared on his face.
"Good."
" This Pure Land was created by my own hands."
"After a ninja dies, his soul returns to the Pure Land."
People believed it to be a place of rest.
"But they don't understand."
"The soul of the strong is the most precious resource."
The killing intent in Uchiha Xin's eyes intensified.
"So from the very beginning, you've been collecting the souls of the strongest Shinobi World."
" The Five Kage of all ages, heroes of all clans, and powerful figures of the Shinobi World —all the powerful warriors who have perished—are imprisoned in your Pure Land."
You are not a savior.
"You're in charge of training soldiers."
The Sage of Six Paths said calmly, "To say 'imprisoned' sounds too harsh."
"If there is no Pure Land after their death, their souls will simply dissipate."
"It was I who gave them the opportunity to continue existing."
Uchiha Xin sneered.
"And then, when you need them, pull them out to serve in the army?"
The Sage of Six Paths raised his staff.
The white ocean of Chakra suddenly surged.
Countless souls simultaneously looked up at Uchiha Xin.
In that instant, the Root Dimension seemed to be filled with the gazes of countless powerful beings.
Nagato's Rinnegan soul projection emitted a cold light.
Obito's Kamui aura was faintly visible.
Izuna gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
The sword intent emanating from White Fang gradually revived.
The Chakra fluctuations of the Five Kage throughout history erupted one after another.
