Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 287 The Sage of Six Paths Appears

boom!

This time, the strike was delayed for a moment, but it still easily shattered Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo.

As expected of Madara Uchiha, this final attack can be considered Madara Uchiha's attack at his peak.

However, after being blocked by the Susanoo of Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Madara's Susanoo appeared much fainter.

puff!

Finally, the sword struck Chiga's Susanoo, stopping less than three centimeters away from him.

"Is this your power at your peak?! No wonder you're called the Asura of the Ninja World!"

Chiga couldn't help but praise the Susanoo for still possessing such power, even after it had been weakened twice.

"This is the best we can do!"

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha did not show any regret, because he knew that if Chiga hadn't wanted to test the power of this attack, there would have been no need to take it head-on.

"Kid, this strike is far from my peak power! Don't you really want to see what I was like at my peak?"

At this moment, Madara Uchiha had already dispelled his Susanoo; he was nearing the end of his life.

The person was only inhaling and not exhaling.

"Don't tempt me, I will not resurrect you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"

At this moment, Chiga also put away Susanoo, walked to Madara Uchiha's side, and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha slowly closed his eyes.

"elder brother."

Upon seeing this scene, Uchiha Izuna, whose body had been reconstituted, immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Is he really dead?"

Uchiha Itachi approached Chiga and asked uncertainly.

"Um."

Itachi Uchiha frowned and said, "Don't be careless. In my world, Madara Uchiha definitely didn't look this old!"

"I know, don't worry, there won't be another guy like that in this world!"

Chiga replied that Obito Uchiha is still on patrol duty.

Although it's on the front lines, safety is well guaranteed, and it's virtually impossible to encounter the enemy.

Furthermore, since Madara Uchiha was killed by Obito Uchiha earlier, without Madara's secret plotting, Obito Uchiha probably wouldn't have been chosen as the spokesperson.

However, it benefited Obito Uchiha, who obtained his bloodline for nothing!

"In that case, I'm relieved!"

Uchiha Itachi nodded, then looked at Uchiha Izuna, who was crying his eyes out.

With a face that bore an eighty percent resemblance to Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha felt a pang of pity and said, "This guy is useless to you now, so you can undo the Edo Tensei!"

"No rush, I don't want him to go to the Pure Land to see Madara Uchiha like this!"

Chiga was very petty. Even though he knew that Uchiha Izuna was no longer useful, he still did not undo the Impure World Reincarnation.

They resealed Uchiha Izuna into the sealing scroll.

Chiga then walked over to Madara Uchiha's corpse and gouged out his eyes from their sockets.

Looking at those Mangekyou Sharingan, Chika sighed, wondering which unlucky Uchiha clan member they belonged to.

Afterwards, Chiga began to examine Madara Uchiha's body.

And at the very moment Chiga touched Madara Uchiha's corpse.

Tick

In the dim space, Chiga's spiritual body slowly coalesced.

"Oh no, am I under an illusion?"

Chiga's expression changed slightly, thinking that this was a backup plan left by Madara Uchiha.

After carefully observing the space and sensing her own state, Chiga's expression eased considerably.

He looked around, taking a look.

All around was pitch black, the darkness stretching to the far horizon, and the water beneath my feet was as black as ink. When I lifted my foot and put it down, white ripples spread out.

This place seems to be a small space.

"Interesting. Not Madara Uchiha's doing."

Even at his peak, Madara Uchiha couldn't pull himself into a small space without him noticing or resisting.

Then there's only one possibility.

The Sage of Six Paths who never quite died!

Upon realizing whose territory this was, a strange look appeared on Chika's face.

Did I expose myself?

That shouldn't be happening!

He has been in this world for several years, and the Sage of Six Paths has never appeared before him, not even in a dream.

It certainly wasn't that my identity as a time traveler had been exposed.

Why is that?

Could it be to avenge this unfilial son who has been reincarnated countless times?

With that thought, Chiga became less inclined to see the Sage of Six Paths and immediately began to compress his spiritual power, trying to condense it into a thin needle to pierce through this space.

"Why"

A soft sigh came from behind Chiga.

Chiga was startled, realizing she had no chance to escape, and could only turn around helplessly.

Just then, I saw Hagoromo Otsutsuki dressed in white.

At this moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki floated in mid-air, with black Truth-Seeking Balls swirling beneath him.

"Young man, don't be nervous, I mean you no harm!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki calmly looked at Chika with his Rinnegan.

Chiga carefully examined Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression but couldn't discern any emotional fluctuations.

After all, he's an ancient relic over a thousand years old. If he could see through something like this, then all those years of living would have been for nothing.

It probably sensed that Indra's chakra had re-entered samsara, so it came to see what was going on.

Sensing that Hagoromo Otsutsuki meant no harm, and with the original story as a reference, Chiga had a sudden thought and said with dissatisfaction, "Old man, who are you?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't seem to mind being addressed as Chiga, and simply introduced himself calmly: "I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the founder of the Ninja Clan, also known as the Sage of Six Paths!"

"The Sage of Six Paths? If you're going to make that up, at least come up with a plausible reason. It's been over a thousand years; it's questionable whether such an old guy even existed!"

Qianhe said with a look of disdain, "Old man, you're so old and still acting like a ghost. Do you want me to beat you up?"

He knew perfectly well who the person in front of him was, but he had to pretend he didn't.

As the saying goes, ignorance is no excuse. If he were to acknowledge Hagoromo Otsutsuki's identity now, he wouldn't be able to provoke Hagoromo Otsutsuki and receive the reward.

Otherwise, it would be a deliberate violation. Although Hagoromo Otsutsuki might not do anything to him openly, who knows if he might make things difficult for him?

"I really am the Sage of Six Paths!"

Seeing Chiga's disbelief and disdain, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was not angry at all, but only showed a helpless expression.

Seeing that Hagoromo Otsutsuki was so good-natured, Chiga became even bolder.

"Hey old man, you know what, your eyes really do look like the Rinnegan. Could they be the eyes of that bastard Uchiha Madara? I've been looking for those eyes, give them to me!"

As Chiga spoke, he began to act, reaching out to gouge out Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's face darkened. He didn't even need to lift a finger; in this space, he was a god. With a thought, he froze Chika's body.

That kid has a terrible temper and no sense of propriety.

Is this immortal person someone he can touch?

[Negative emotion from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Emotion Value +5. First time receiving negative emotion from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, reward: Yin Power!]

"Hey, hey, hey, I believe you now! You really are the Sage of Six Paths! Put me down!"

Upon receiving the reward, Qianhe's expression immediately changed, and he said...

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was still trying to figure out how to explain that he was truly the Sage of Six Paths when he suddenly heard Chiga say this, and exclaimed in surprise, "You believe that already?"

"Yes, I really believe it! The kid didn't know it was the Sage of Six Paths before; he was reckless!"

Chiga nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki put Chiga down. When Chiga made no further move, he realized that she was not lying.

But why does it always feel like I believe so easily?

But he didn't think about it too much, and simply said, "I noticed you when I noticed that the Two-Tails Matatabi, the Three-Tails Isobu, the Four-Tails Son Goku, the Five-Tails Kokuo, and the Eight-Tails Gyūki were all gathered together."

"The reason I'm only contacting you today is because Uchiha Madara is the reincarnation of my eldest son, Indra. It was through him that I was able to bring you here!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki probably wanted to lower Chiga's guard, so he mentioned the conditions for recruiting people.

"what?"

Chiga was taken aback. He thought that Otsutsuki Hagoromo only noticed him because of Uchiha Madara's death, but he didn't expect that this guy had noticed him a few days earlier.

That old scoundrel has been spying on me for so many days. Looks like I'll have to go find Orochimaru again and research a secret technique to prevent being spied on.

"With your strength, you're capable of understanding some of the ninja world's past. Please allow me to explain it to you slowly!"

"It all started with my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki slowly and methodically explained the whole story.

To save face for the elderly, Chiga also showed a slightly shocked expression at the appropriate time.

"I see. So, did the Sage of Six Paths bring me here and talk to me so much because he needs me to do something for you?"

Chiga asked.

After speaking, Hagoromo Otsutsuki glanced at Chiga without changing his expression and sighed, "Indra and Ashura have been entangled for over a thousand years. I once left behind a stone tablet, hoping to resolve Indra's inner conflict, but unfortunately, it had no effect. If things continue like this, I don't know if I will ever see the day when those two brothers reconcile!"

Upon hearing this, Qianhe immediately understood that the old man wanted him to become a psychologist.

Since that inanimate stone tablet is of no use, let's use a living stone tablet to enlighten Indra.

However, Chiga didn't want to get involved in this matter, and simply said tactfully, "This is your family matter, it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to get involved, is it?"

"Oh, you can't say that! How can you call this our family matter?"

"My mother was only sealed away by me and Hamura. Before my two sons reach a reconciliation, the Rinnegan will always have a chance to reappear."

"Once my mother escapes, the entire ninja world will once again be plunged into needless destruction!"

"Therefore, guiding Indra concerns the safety of the entire ninja world! Chiga, do you still think this is a family matter?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed after a moment, looking as if he was entirely considering the future of the ninja world.

Chiga: "." He was always the one using righteousness to intimidate others, so when did he end up being treated like this by others?

Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes!

Seeing Chika's disgusted expression, Hagoromo Otsutsuki suddenly felt a little happy and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Chiga sighed and asked, "If you don't listen, can I hit you?"

"this"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki froze for a moment, then continued stroking his beard, saying helplessly, "I'm afraid fighting won't be effective, will it?"

"Well, old man of the Six Paths, I have to say something about you. No wonder you were able to raise such a rebellious son as Indra!"

Seeing that Hagoromo Otsutsuki disagreed, Chiga got even more excited: "I have experience in teaching sons. To sum it up in one word, beat them! If you don't beat them for three days, they'll be jumping around like crazy! With sons like this, as long as you don't beat them to death, beat them to death. Don't try to reason with them; they won't understand. Just beat them to death!"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki exerted force and finally managed to pluck out a tuft of his beard.

Damn it, I thought you were going to spout some profound wisdom!

Wait, that's not the point. What experience do you, an eleven-year-old kid, have in teaching a son?!

[Negative emotions from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, emotion value +80!]

"Recruiting people is taking up too much of my energy, so I'll stop here for today. I'm leaving my son in your care!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't want to continue the conversation, so he waved his hand and chased Chiga out of the space.

Chiga was still rambling on about her parenting experience when she suddenly felt a momentary daze, and then her vision cleared and she was back in her original world.

When Itachi first saw Chiga squatting in front of Madara's corpse for a long time, he thought Chiga was examining Madara's body.

But then they realized something was wrong, and no matter what they tried, they couldn't bring Chiga's spirit back.

Just as he was getting anxious, Chiga was expelled from Hagoromo Otsutsuki's spatial dimension.

Itachi Uchiha frowned and asked, "Chika, where did you go?"

"In a space created by a dead old man!"

Chiga said with a gloomy expression, then put Uchiha Madara's corpse into the sealing scroll.

Although he was forced into labor by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, he gained Yin power, so it wasn't a complete loss.

"Who else could take your spirit away? Who is it? An enemy?"

Uchiha Itachi's expression turned serious. He could tell from Chiga's face that Chiga had been forced to go in.

"No, it's the Sage of Six Paths!"

Chiga said.

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha was immediately shocked.

"Let's go back to the village. I'll explain on the way that he wasn't a good old man!"

Two days later, Chiga returned to Konoha Village.

The streets of Konoha were brightly decorated, and both ninjas and ordinary people were filled with the joy of victory.

As a key figure in the victory of this war, Chiga was not welcomed by people as he walked down the street.

It seems that the higher-ups in Konoha used euphemisms to gloss over Chiga's achievements.
