Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 228 Sasuke, Your Despair Isn't Deep Enough
"Is there any need to save me?"

Madara Uchiha felt the surging Yang energy entering his body with a bewildered expression, somewhat unable to understand the futile efforts of Shigenori Emiya at this moment.

The Eye of the Moon Project was a mistake…

What meaning does my life still hold?

Should we make him go to Hashirama Senju and admit his mistakes?

"You've only failed twice..."

Emiya Shibara nonchalantly reached out and helped Uchiha Madara up: "Once you believed Hashirama, and once you believed Black Zetsu. Having experienced the chaos of the Warring States period, how could you think that achieving eternal peace in this world is such a simple matter?"

"..."

Madara Uchiha's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

kind of…

I want to have a good argument with this guy.

no…

How can you even say something like that!

After all, I'm willing to believe in Black Zetsu, isn't it because you allowed Black Zetsu to impersonate your will?! With the ancient medical saint Emiya Shigenori personally endorsing it, who wouldn't be fooled!

However, Emiya Shigenori had just defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, making him arguably the strongest ninja in the entire ninja world. The gap between them was immeasurable...

and…

Emiya Shihara saved him again…

It seems this guy isn't treating him like a useless pawn; his words imply he still sees him as a companion and invites him to continue on this journey together.

"What did they do?"

Madara Uchiha's gaze fell on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. He had regained the power of the Six Paths after Emiya Shigenori gave him the power of Yang.

"Their words..."

Emiya Shigenori didn't look at Naruto Uzumaki, but instead focused on Sasuke Uchiha: "Don't worry, I already made arrangements before this battle started."

"!!!"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed!
Compared to Naruto Uzumaki's quick thinking, the others present were clearly more astute, and they immediately realized that Emiya Shigenori's so-called arrangement was definitely not a good thing!
After all, Emiya Shigenori has already made clear arrangements for Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki. How will he deal with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha?
If Emiya Shigenori truly intended to kill them, perhaps the torment would be less severe. However, if Emiya Shigenori was plotting something, then his schemes were far beyond what ordinary people could endure…

Emiya Shihara.

This man is someone whose schemes can still succeed across a thousand years, even including his own death and resurrection!
To simply describe Emiya Shihara as cunning and terrifying is to greatly underestimate his cunning and courage...

What did you do this time?

Uchiha Sasuke stared at Emiya Shigenori with an uneasy expression.

"I don't need to do anything anymore."

Emiya Shigenari gently shook his head, his eyes becoming exceptionally profound at that moment: "Because the one who truly plotted against you wasn't me..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha immediately frowned.

Not Emiya Shigenori…

Who else could it be?

"Sasuke."

"You look a lot like Ban."

"Don't dwell on the past, and don't dwell on the future."

At this moment, Emiya Shigenori seemed to have transformed back into the medical ninja who watched Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha grow up in Konoha.

or…

He seems to have never changed.

"Sasuke, this world has never liked you, because no one in the world likes someone who can control their destiny or even refuses to be controlled by them. But controlling their future destiny is also a mission you must shoulder..."

"I hadn't thought about any of that..."

Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly.

Although Sasuke Uchiha knew that Shinobu Emiya's ideals were correct, he didn't want to pay attention to them; he was even so lost that he couldn't find his own goals...

Even though the Sage of Six Paths gave him the mission of sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki and defeating Shigenori Emiya together with Naruto Uzumaki, it now seems impossible for them to complete it. Even if he and Naruto Uzumaki were to summon the Sage of Six Paths together, it would be meaningless.

"alright."

Emiya Shihara raised his hand and opened a pitch-black portal to another dimension, speaking softly, "When you can't see your way, come find me, and I will guide you..."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke felt a bit lost at that moment.

After all, once Sasuke Uchiha learned that there were other hidden reasons behind the massacre of his brother's clan, his past life had become utterly meaningless.

However, Emiya Shigenori's eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts, and he casually added a few words.

"Your confusion isn't deep enough..."

"Perhaps I should describe it in another way..." "Your despair is not enough."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth.

What does it mean to say that you haven't experienced enough despair?
Am I not desperate enough right now?
Even with the Yin power of the Sage of Six Paths, and even with Naruto Uzumaki's Yang power by their side, they were no match for Emiya Shigenori, let alone with the addition of Madara Uchiha to their opponent's forces...

Madara Uchiha, that man…

Uchiha Sasuke absolutely did not believe that he could defeat him in his current state.

"let's go."

Emiya Shihara pointed a finger towards Kaguya Otsutsuki and calmly said, "The memories I obtained from Black Zetsu are only minor details. The real information about the enemies this world might face in the future will have to be extracted from her mind..."

"!!!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes widened in surprise!
However, Emiya Shihara's Mangekyou Sharingan was quietly activated, instantly taking Kaguya Otsutsuki's body into the Kamui dimension!
"Is it really unnecessary to kill them?"

Madara Uchiha glanced back at everyone in the Amanomichi space and said coldly, "They'll be blocking our way sooner or later..."

"They've lost their chance."

Emiya Shinobu nonchalantly stepped into the space-time portal to Yomotsu Hirasaka: "They'll soon realize that all they need to do is bow their heads..."

"..."

Madara Uchiha seemed to have no choice but to follow in Shigenori Emiya's footsteps.

After all, Madara Uchiha is also confused right now. He only knows that he still needs to seek the path to eternal peace, but he can't find any direction at the moment.

the other side.

Within the space of the Sage of Six Paths.

When the battle between Emiya Shigenori and Otsutsuki Kaguya finally ended, the Sage of Six Paths' chakra also observed that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke had been captured by Emiya Shigenori.

This ancient god, revered as the creator, possessed only a fraction of his original power. He could only hastily summon the souls of the Kage from past generations, using their power to summon them, Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and even a group of tailed beasts from the Heavenly Gate to his Pure Land.

Obviously.

The purpose of this gathering in the Pure Land was not to declare their victory, but rather to be forced to accept their defeat.

"Feel sorry…"

"We are no match for Emiya..."

Naruto Uzumaki lowered his head in frustration.

Because he and Sasuke Uchiha were captured before the battle between Emiya Shigenori and Kaguya Otsutsuki began, they didn't even have a chance to intervene.

"This is not your fault."

The Sage of Six Paths offered a word of comfort to Naruto Uzumaki, then couldn't help but sigh, "Even I never imagined that I would become one of Emiya Shigenori's pawns in that era. No wonder he's always been reluctant to meet me..."

"Then what should we do now?"

Kakashi Hatake frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are we going to let Emiya Shigenori and Uchiha Madara run rampant in the ninja world in the future?"

"..."

The Sage of Six Paths couldn't think of a solution.

Even he couldn't figure out how to deal with Emiya Shigenori, especially since Emiya Shigenori was not lacking in combat power or intelligence, and was even more terrifying than anyone else in the ninja world.

In terms of combat effectiveness…

He defeated the strongest chakra progenitor in the ninja world.

From an intellectual perspective…

Even Nara Shikaku, Konoha's most brilliant strategist, could hardly have outmaneuvered Emiya Shikahara. In fact, Emiya Shikahara never thought highly of the Allied Shinobi Forces commanded by Nara Shikaku during this war, merely using them as chakra for Kaguya's resurrection.

"Emiya isn't a bad person..."

The half-nine-tailed creature snorted at this moment. After experiencing all of this, it seemed to have become more indifferent to many things: "If he did anything to upset humans, it's probably all your own fault..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Kurama..."

Naruto quickly told Kurama not to say such things, as they were quite insulting to everyone!

"Now we can only take it one step at a time..."

The Sage of Six Paths' gaze fell upon Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, and he earnestly advised, "You two must not separate. If it truly comes to the last moment, then join forces to summon the remaining chakra I have to descend upon the mortal world..."

"That's unlikely to be a match for Emiya Shihara..."

Uchiha Sasuke immediately said these jarring words.

"But we can't give up now!"

Naruto Uzumaki confidently assured the Sage of Six Paths that he did not believe his friend Sasuke Uchiha would choose to leave.

but…

There are always exceptions to everything.

Even though Naruto Uzumaki is indeed an important companion to Sasuke Uchiha now, he could never ignore another person who is equally important to him.
