Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

Chapter 60 The Sage of Six Paths' Attention

The sun rises and the moon sets.

Time slipped away unnoticed, and the flames of war in the ninja world, confined to the northern border, spread wildly outwards.

The Land of Wind and the Land of Water have officially joined the war!

They launched a fierce attack on the Land of Fire from both the east and west.

Konoha, which had initially remained uninvolved, was dragged into the fray once again, as the East Blue Team set off for the Land of Water.

Thanks to Uchiha Shu's well-thought-out arrangements and excellent logistical support, even though the Hokage himself temporarily disappeared from the village, clear and effective countermeasures were still implemented.

Shikulin Forest.

A man and a woman, two figures, have remained standing to this day.

Normally, this kind of immortal-like cultivation takes years, just like Jiraiya, who called himself an immortal, was still not in his most perfect form even after ten years of practice.

However, after three days and three nights of contemplation following the blessing of the Slug Ancestor, Tsunade was able to gain initial control over this power. A small amount of green light surrounded her body, and she exclaimed incredulously, "This, this is Sage Chakra?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozing slug sage answered in his mind: "What I have given you is pure Shikkotsu Forest Sage Power, a fixed amount. If you cannot use it within seven days, then it can only be considered as helping you to be reborn and improve the quality of your chakra a little."

"But Tsunade is still very clever; she mastered a super-simplified Sage Mode through them."

"Thank you for your help."

After expressing her gratitude to the sage, Tsunade's eyes fell on Uchiha Shu, who showed no signs of waking up.

There's no need to worry about the Fifth Hokage starving to death. Ninjas are naturally vigorous, and with the continuous influx of high-quality natural chakra, it's more nourishing than any military ration pill.

"It will probably take a few more days. Back then, your great-grandfather, who had the ancestral tree, also took about fifteen days to quickly comprehend the immortal mode."

Fifteen days is hardly a long time to comprehend a system whose learning difficulty exceeds that of an S-rank forbidden technique, a system that even the Sage of Six Paths studied in his youth.

As for what the Divine Tree is, the immortals didn't say, and Tsunade didn't want to ask.

Sometimes, knowing too much can be a burden.

"I'll stay here and guard the place. You should go back to Konoha first."

"The flames of war have already reached the Land of Fire."

The words of the Slug Ancestor startled her.

Sure enough, the village couldn't stay out of it!

"Then I'll leave Xiu in your care." With a slight bow, Tsunade made her decision immediately, even though she would rather stay here.

He could manage village affairs on behalf of others, and using the prestige of the Senju clan to appease the people was also an important task entrusted to him by Uchiha Shu.

Vases are the most useless thing —

boom!

Tsunade, decisive and efficient, ended the reverse summoning.

Slug Ancestor: "————"

Oh dear, the Uchiha clan is really something these days, look what they've done to the dignified Senju princess.

He couldn't help but think of the lion pride structure on the Ninja World Plains, where the lionesses hunted desperately, while the only male lion in the pride could simply sit under a tree, basking in the sun, waiting for fresh meat to be brought to his mouth.

Of course, the lions that seem to be taking walks in their territory every day are not idle. Their core task is to patrol the territory and defend against external enemies, and they must always maintain overwhelming combat power.

Across the endless layers of earth, the gaze once again fell upon the sculpted Uchiha Shu.

This person is indeed capable of being the Lion King.

It's unclear what the Six Treasures Immortal Thief means, but anyway, the Slug Ancestor, who was continuously channeling Sage Chakra into him, could sense that the Fifth Hokage's internal organs were like a bottomless pit of greed, constantly devouring high-quality energy.

"The Akatsuki organization, which secretly collected tailed beasts under the guise of the Ten-Tails' shell, the Fourth Shinobi World War, and the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Uchiha Shu, I hope you can turn the tide."

Each generation has its own mission, and the Slug Ancestor clearly regarded him as the new generation of the Six Paths Immortal.

However, this person's magnanimity was far greater than he imagined.

Pure Land World.

"Recently, many powerful souls of the deceased have temporarily returned to the mortal world from the Pure Land."

"Thousands of ninjas and hundreds of thousands of civilians came to the Pure Land."

"Hmph! Another upheaval has erupted!"

The old man of the Six Paths, who was too lazy to pay attention to the development of human affairs, was very unhappy.

As a devoted son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki also had significant problems in educating his descendants. Many of the major wars in the ninja world over the past millennium can be arbitrarily attributed to:

The conflict between Asuras and Indras.

Is it the chakra reincarnations of my two precious sons causing trouble again? Oh well, let them be.

got used to.

-

As long as you have a backup plan in place, you can have two suitable targets to take charge at critical moments.

"Focus firmly on the main contradiction; the Otsutsuki clan is the real scourge of the universe!"

"But I—am still a complete failure."

In fact, the Sage of Six Paths was filled with regret when he thought about the chaos in the ninja world and the immortal races that could attack from the stars at any time.

Back then, he sealed the power of the Ten-Tails within his body, using his own body as a prison to personally prevent this terrifying power from continuing to wreak havoc on the world.

But later I realized a truth:

The mother who split him and his brother ruled the world with her own power after pacifying the chaos, but soon she became arrogant, radical and degenerate because of her power.

Therefore, if power is concentrated in one person, it will eventually be out of control, and one will only think about becoming more powerful, regardless of any cost.

Thus, the Sage of Six Paths, who thought he had seen through the truth of the world and possessed super wisdom, worried that he would follow in his mother's footsteps, so he decided to take precautions in advance and cripple his own martial arts.

First, the ten tails were extracted from the body and divided into nine unequal parts.

The outer shell was sealed into the moon.

Protected by the Hamura clan, descended from his younger brother.

Then, not knowing how long he had left before his natural death, he simply chose to dissolve himself, abandoning his physical body, so that the ninja world could have many possibilities.

"One whale falls and all things come to life."

As for the result, the Six Paths Elder's thousand-year-long spying on the mortal world from the Pure Land was clearly a great failure!

"Trust in the wisdom of future generations."

"Anyway, the people who can truly rise in the ninja world and quell the chaos must be related to me by blood. Nurturing outstanding successors is also a great achievement."

The old man, sitting on the ground, began to console himself, "Besides, the ninja world is inherently abnormal. I founded the Ninja Clan hoping to awaken people's true goodness and beauty and to give each other trust, but in the end, there are still a lot of negative emotions."

"Every Jinchuriki in history has encountered cold looks and ridicule."

"By the way, the Indra and Ashura brothers of this generation are not yet 100 years old, right? What caused this war? I haven't been paying attention to the ninja world for a long time."

"Just take a look—after all, this is the place that raised me."

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, glanced at the Ninja World after a long absence, and suddenly froze.

Rather than peering into a specific person, his Rinnegan vision is primarily composed of aggregates of emotions and chakra clusters.

The entire ninja world resembles a satellite cloud map.

This will allow the Great Sage to inspect and determine whether there have been any changes in the ninja world, and whether the overall situation is good or bad.

Immediately, this top student from Konoha Village caught the attention of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, leaving the second and third place far ahead in terms of positive emotions.

It was a vibrant scene of life and flourishing life, surpassing any ninja settlement in the past thousand years.

"Is it through the love and influence that I advocate?" The Sage of Six Paths was overjoyed.

There's really no hope for my two sons.

Not causing trouble is his best hope for the reincarnation of Indra and Asura chakra.

Who is the source of this change? Does it have anything to do with me?

The wisdom of later generations!

"I need to stand up and see—"

A wisp of consciousness descended upon this land that filled him with regret.

The sounds of human voices filled my ears.

At the entrance of the alley where the dumpling shop was located, several idlers from Konoha were gathered. One of them, a villager with triangular eyes, had his hands in his pockets and was spitting as he spoke.

"Hmph, war has broken out, and there are fewer and fewer ninjas in the village. Yet the Hokage is still protecting that brat? When the Fourth Hokage and his wife died, the demon fox should have been buried with them! Now they're giving it subsidies and supporting its education. They should hurry up and send it to the front lines."

"I've heard that the enemy's tailed beasts are already active on the battlefield."

"It's simply—"

—

The long-suppressed bullying spirit is now burning fiercely.

But the words hadn't even landed.

Two dark figures appeared in an instant, and the Uchiha security guards grabbed his arms on the left and right, pressing him directly against the earthen wall.

The man, who had thought he could vent his emotions a little during this special time, panicked: "What are you doing?! I just wanted to say a few words—"

Kenji Uchiha didn't bother with any more words and raised his baton.

Secret Technique: Sixty Strikes Per Second!

The impact landed squarely on the buttocks and legs, with precise and powerful force, injuring only the skin and flesh, not the muscles and bones.

"Ouch—! It hurts! I was wrong! Sir, sir, I'll never do it again! I'm a villager..."

"We're on the same side!"

The troublemaker immediately cried and begged for mercy, his face covered in tears and snot.

right.

With his Sharingan activated, the young Chunin easily counted the number of sticks before letting go, allowing him to collapse like a dead dog.

The surrounding villagers immediately fell silent.

run?

Is this a Running Man-style comedy show set in Konoha Village?

No-holds-barred fighting tournament?

Don't be ridiculous. The Uchiha law enforcement officers are all incredibly tough. Using them to deal with troublemakers who lack ninja skills would be a complete game-changer.

"If you dare to insult, bully, or provoke trouble again, it won't just be sixty strokes of the cane."

Kenji Uchiha, even more arrogant than a troublemaker, said coldly, "This is your first offense. If you do it again, you'll be locked up in the police dungeon for three months."

"————" The Sage of Six Paths.

Spiritual redemption? Saving with love? No, no, no, it's about being rescued by force.

Simple and direct, the foul-mouthed uncle shut up on the spot.

"Take the initiative and tell us who participated in the insults. Nowadays, the police force emphasizes procedural justice in law enforcement. Using illusions to take statements is bound to have some flaws."

"yes----"

A weak voice came from the ground.

"A cold iron rod is being swung haphazardly at your body~"

A Jonin from the Uchiha clan, on his way to the Hokage Building to be summoned by Tsunade, passed by and hummed a tune: "Once I start writing down my brothers' names on the confession, I can't stop~"

at the same time.

Ninja Academy's long break.

Naruto Uzumaki, holding a bag of barbecue-flavored fries, squatted down next to Sasuke and stuffed a piece into his mouth.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Hehe, I just peeked into the school cafeteria and they're serving free saury and curry pork. It smells even better than the stuff sold at the shop downstairs from my house."

Sasuke frowned, but still opened his mouth and ate it.

Her face remained indifferent throughout: "Stay away from me, I'm annoyed right now."

Where did my brother go?

Since Brother Xiu became Hokage, the entire clan has become more energetic, smiles that were almost unseen before have gradually increased, and the village is thriving. However, everyone has forgotten one person:

Brother Itachi.

Every time I asked my father, his face, which was initially full of smiles, would immediately turn cold: "As if that beast were dead."

"Hehe." Naruto, the shameless guy, shook his head, then suddenly remembered something. "I just heard some older students saying there's a war outside? Could it be reaching Konoha? Then the two of us will team up to save the village, and the Hokage will appoint me as the Sixth Hokage!"

"I will appoint you as Hokage's assistant when the time comes."

Sasuke, who was amused by the fool's antics, suppressed his annoyance, glanced helplessly at Naruto, and said coldly, "Brother Xiu said that we are not allowed to go to the battlefield."

"The village is strong enough to fight against enemy countries."

"Alright, then let's be ninjas together again and protect the village together." Naruto smiled brightly.

The arrogant Sasuke turned his face away, his ear tips turning slightly red, and muttered under his breath, "Loser, I'm better than you, so why wasn't I the Hokage?"

Itachi, whose fate is unknown, has been temporarily forgotten.

To be honest, Sasuke always had this feeling that Naruto had some special charm. He was as warm as a little sun, and just chatting with him for a few minutes could make him forget his troubles. He was more happy talking to girls like Sakura and Ino.

There was no isolation, no insults, and no labels like "fox spirit" or "jinx."

The two children squatted in the sunlight, their eyes only on the potato chips and what they would eat for lunch.

"Haha, that's great!"

The old man in the Pure Land looked on with a look of reminiscence and said with satisfaction, "This is how you brothers should get along, Indra and Asura."

It's not far from the school.

A group of villagers carrying vegetables strolled by, greeting each other.

"The grain store lowered prices again today, and I heard the Hokage's office is subsidizing gold again."

"That's right, it's really ridiculous when you think about it. Life actually gets better when there's a war. Only brainless idiots would cause trouble. The garrison can take sixty blows a second, who can withstand that?"

"I think I shouldn't have been always criticizing this and that before. Now I feel so at ease, and I hope I can continue living like this."

"No matter how fierce the fighting is on the front lines, the villagers will still go to school and do business as usual. That's the only way we can manage."

The Sage of Six Paths' consciousness slowly drifted over.

The ninja world has a mature, distorted cycle: hatred, war, sacrifice, and children being forced to pick up knives.

For the first time, someone used carrots and sticks to uphold a bottom line on this land that he loved during his lifetime.

Better than just talking.

The emotions emanating from ordinary people cannot fool this old man.

"But resources will eventually run out, and then what will you use to sustain yourself?"

Lacking a sense of unity, Hagoromo Otsutsuki raised his head and looked at the Hokage Rock from afar.

He stared at the statue of Uchiha Shu with three tomoe.

"Indra's child, yes, it's definitely him, I deserve some credit for that~"

An old man, patting himself on the back, stands with his hands on his hips.

The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Shu.

A major upheaval unprecedented in the ninja world in a thousand years.

With a change of heart, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who had briefly inspected the prosperous Konoha Village, descended upon the Thunder Land Battlefield.

"Hoichi—"

A giant bull with octopus-like tentacles roared, spewing out a huge, jet-black tailed beast orb.

"Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique!" On the other side, Edo Tensei Hashirama clapped his hand, and whatever he shouted came to pass.

Tsk, what a boring sight—the Sage of Six Paths immediately lost interest.

The old man who had just stepped out of the house was suddenly hit by a pile of poop, so he simply returned to the Pure Land.

Let the young people do whatever they want.

Fortunately, on the naval battlefield between the two nations of water and fire, Princess Kaguya, with her white hair flying, casually killed a close-combat Kirigakure Jonin.
