Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

Naruto: "..."

Let them call me that, it's no big deal, I'm used to it.

But how could you, a Sage of Six Paths, pinch your throat and turn it into that sleazy voice of White Zetsu?

The Sage of Six Paths was left speechless with despair.

Do you think I wanted this?!

I...I was forced...I did it voluntarily~

roar--!!!

The Sage of Six Paths let out a heart-wrenching roar.

He felt a sense of desolation.

Ruined.

That brat must have tampered with my body.

When?!

The Sage of Six Paths narrowed his eyes, his chest heaving rapidly.

His breathing became rapid.

At that moment, the only thing he could think of was...

When reshaping his physical body, he used the natural energy of the ninja world as the foundation of his body.

And that natural energy in the ninja world... is because Naruto broke through the space of the Pure Land.

This caused the Pure Land to reconnect with the Ninja World.

In other words, before the natural energy gathered and was absorbed by him, it came along the channel that Naruto created.

That was the only time when someone could tamper with this body during its reconstruction...

"Damn Asura!"

After learning the "truth," the Sage of Six Paths glared at Naruto.

"I'll take care of you right now..."

The Sage of Six Paths murmured something, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

He stood there, stunned, convulsing.

Uchiha Hikaru, who was initially furious and humiliated, stopped what he was doing.

He looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a puzzled expression.

The Sage of Six Paths curled up and fought frantically on the ground.

Strange noises kept coming from his throat.

At the same time, drool was dripping from his mouth.

It was as if they were suffering some unimaginable pain.

He would glance at Naruto every now and then.

Sometimes angry and resentful, sometimes yearning for respect.

He looked like a White Zetsu yearning for Naruto's approval.

Naruto glanced at it and then lost interest.

He waved his hand, leaving behind a wisp of his aura.

Naruto raised his head and looked at the sky of the Pure Land World, which had transformed into a sky full of stars.

"This change is quite good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pure Land world, which was connected to the Ninja World, reacted.

A sudden ripple occurred on the ground.

This also confirms that the Pure Land is the Earth-Exploding Star.

To be precise, after the planet Earth exploded, its interior was hollowed out, becoming a closed circular space.

Then the ground shook.

A thick vine rose up beneath Naruto's feet.

As if it were sentient, it affectionately rubbed against Naruto's arm under Uchiha Hikaru's horrified gaze.

Gollum—

Uchiha Hikaru curiously reached out and touched the vine.

clatter--

Unexpectedly, the next second, the vine touched her smooth, fair forehead with its tip.

"Ouch!"

He misjudged the force of his blow, and Uchiha Hikaru winced in pain.

But I was incredibly shocked.

These vines are just like Naruto's... even the positions they hit are the same... wait a minute!

Could it be that Naruto ordered it to do this?!

Soon, the vines bound the Sage of Six Paths, who was struggling in place.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Naruto with difficulty, his eyes filled with hatred and regret.

I originally thought that after reshaping my physical body, I would no longer be afraid of being reincarnated as an Asura.

I never imagined it would end like this, no matter how hard I tried.

He was already feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

In his eyes, Naruto's figure grew taller and brighter.

There was no room for anything else in my field of vision.

At that moment, Naruto left behind a trace of his original aura and then picked up Uchiha Hikaru.

Lightly touch the ground with your toes.

His body slowly floated up.

Uchiha Hikaru experienced the feeling of flying for the second time, and he still felt novel and excited.

She should have been nervous, but for some reason, she felt exceptionally safe whenever she felt like she was being held by someone.

I wasn't left behind...

We arrived above the Pure Land world.

Naruto looked around at the horizon of the Pure Land.

"I see... Taking over is quite simple."

After saying that, Naruto raised his hand and waved it gently.

The sky over the Pure Land changed in the next instant.

The sky, which had just turned into a sky full of stars, returned to its original white color.

Naruto waved his hand again.

The sky in the Pure Land world transformed back into a sky full of stars.

"It looks better this way."

"Alright, it's time to take over."

With that, Naruto threw Uchiha Hikaru onto his back.

Raise your hands and quickly form a hand seal.

hum-

In an instant.

An immense burst of chakra.

Below, the Sage of Six Paths, who was imprisoned by vines, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He struggled to lift his head and look up.

He saw that the tall figure was emanating a chakra level that made him feel lingering fear.

Faced with the unintentional aura emanating from Naruto.

The Sage of Six Paths knew that even if his reconstructed physical body was perfect, he still had no chance of winning.

But the Sage of Six Paths was not willing to accept it.

He had been planning this for so many years.

But the result was... huh?!

Just as the Sage of Six Paths felt his consciousness was about to be devoured by the consciousness generated by his physical body.

He sensed two unusual chakra fluctuations.

These two chakra sensations... feel so much like my mother's...

Could it be... that someone from the Otsutsuki main family has arrived?!

The Sage of Six Paths tried to make a sound, but when he opened his mouth, only a whimpering sound came from his throat.

He made so many preparations, even driving the demons (death gods) out of the ninja world, all to deal with the Otsutsuki clan's main family, who would later come to the ninja world.

But now...

Although I don't want to admit it, it's driven by the instinct for survival.

The Sage of Six Paths still had a thought.

That means the Otsutsuki clan defeated Naruto.

After that, he regained his freedom.

After that, he continued to be the sixth son.

After Naruto is defeated, he will be at his weakest, or even dead.

Then, all his chakra would be his own!

Just as the Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but fantasize...

Naruto suddenly lowered his head and glanced at him.

hum-

The Sage of Six Paths immediately felt a chill rise from his back.

My whole body is tense.

Naruto looked away, sensing the arrival of Kinshiki and Momoshiki as well.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to them.

He closed his eyes and formed a special mudra with his hands.

The chakra emanating from the Pure Land immediately received instructions.

They all surged towards the outside of the ninja world.

at the same time.

Naruto's inner demonic power erupted.

The chilling aura sent a shiver down Uchiha Hikaru's spine as he clung to his back, causing him to instinctively hug him even tighter.

After the power of the demons and gods erupted.

Naruto statues around the world have "awakened".

These statues contain the souls of those who were lost in the ninja world during this period.

After sensing Naruto's summons.

All the statues of Naruto erected by people all over the world have their eyes open.

Like a living creature, it slowly opened its mouth.

There are stone statues, wooden statues, gold and silver statues, and even human figures made of clay.

They all released their souls from their bodies.

These souls are just like they were in the Pure Land before.

They all had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

And after spitting them out.

The statues all exhaled.

Blow these souls into the sky.

After that, the power of ghosts and gods was responsible for guiding them to the Pure Land.

"Kin-shiki, did you sense it?"

"Follow the direction of these souls, and you will find the fox."
