Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 375 Can the cheat code you sold me defeat Uehara Naraku?

A dark inner world.

The falling water droplets created large ripples.

Naruto slowly climbed out of the water, touching his chest in astonishment, and looked up in disbelief, saying, "I...I'm not dead, am I?"

"What do you consider to be death?"

An elderly man, holding a staff and hovering above the Truth-Seeking Ball, spoke slowly, muttering incoherently, "In my world, the ethical views on death seem to be a little different from yours. Don't assume you're dead so easily. Be a little more positive, newcomer..."

"Who are you…"

"That's a problem, but it's been so long that I don't know if the names you know match the names I gave myself..."

After speaking, the old man slowly turned around, revealing his true identity: "I am the embodiment of peace and order, named Feather Robe!"

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki fell silent.

Just as the old man was about to bring it up, Naruto suddenly realized something and whispered, "Wait, before Uehara killed me, he said I would meet...you are...the Sage of Six Paths?"

After speaking, Naruto Uzumaki stared intently at the old man before him, his forehead gradually hardening with tension: "The Rinnegan... the legendary Sage's Eye... it seems... he really is the Sage of Six Paths?"

"It's so good that you know my name."

After the Sage of Six Paths slowly nodded, his Rinnegan gradually tightened: "Did Uehara guess that you would see me... I never expected that in this era, there would be a ninja as powerful as us."

"That guy..."

Naruto Uzumaki slowly nodded, recalling his past encounters with Naraku Uehara, and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, extremely strong!"

"What an unpredictable person!"

The Sage of Six Paths touched the water's surface with his staff, creating a ripple. A smiling figure with narrowed eyes appeared on the surface—it was Uehara Naraku.

The Sage of Six Paths frowned and said in a low voice, "This little guy has cultivated to the point where he can defeat me on his own, and he can even track me down... It's really unimaginable."

The Sage of Six Paths muttered to himself, "Why would Uehara Naraku want to see me? Is it to ask about the Ten-Tails and the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Or does he want to challenge someone stronger? It shouldn't be like this..."

This is a very perplexing problem.

After much deliberation, the Sage of Six Paths could only temporarily categorize Uehara Naraku's desire to see him as a desire to obtain the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After all, it seems that Uehara Naraku wanted to deliberately fall into the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Huh? What?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, frowned, and said, "Anyway, Uehara has always been strong. We all thought we could catch up with him before, but now it seems the gap is getting bigger and bigger..."

"indeed."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Naruto Uzumaki and calmly said, "However, Naraku Uehara is too arrogant. No matter how strong he is, he cannot defeat another person in this ninja world..."

After speaking, the Sage of Six Paths looked at the silent Naruto Uzumaki, and slowly tapped the surface of the water with his staff. A woman's face appeared on the surface of the water.

"My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki."

The Sage of Six Paths looked up at Naruto Uzumaki and slowly began to tell a very long story: "My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, came to this planet from a very far place..."

This story is somewhat bizarre.

A woman from afar ate the Chakra Fruit to quell the war, but after gaining immense power, she was consumed by endless greed and wanted to rule the ninja world. In the end, she was sealed away by her son.

"My mother possesses immense chakra and an immortal body; she is absolutely beyond the reach of Uehara Naraku. She has transcended everything in this world, and even I can only seal her away..."

After the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking slowly, he glanced at Naruto Uzumaki and continued in a deep voice, "No matter how strong Uehara Naruto is, he can't possibly defeat Mother's power... because the progenitor of chakra in this world is Mother."

"ha?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head, looked up at the Sage of Six Paths, and asked, "If even Uehara Naraku can't be defeated, then this world..."

"We can only rely on you guys..."

A hint of worry flashed across the Sage of Six Paths' face, and his eyes even showed some solemnity: "If Mother could absorb the chakra from Uehara Naraku, perhaps she could become even stronger."

"to be honest…"

Naruto Uzumaki slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Even if I try my best to catch up, I can't catch up with Uehara Naraku's power. If he can't defeat the progenitor of chakra, then even if I fight desperately, I will..."

"Don't worry."

The Sage of Six Paths slowly tapped the surface of the water with his staff, and a smiling man emerged. He calmly said, "You possess the chakra of my son Ashura. It seems that little brat Naraku also discovered this..."

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the spiritual world on the other side.

Another clone of the Sage of Six Paths had just finished communicating with Sasuke Uchiha, and he had also finished telling the story of Kaguya Otsutsuki and Indra.

The Sage of Six Paths' clone stared at Sasuke Uchiha in deep thought, for Sasuke seemed to have already sensed the Indra chakra within him.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't care about any of this.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced casually at the Sage of Six Paths, his gaze growing increasingly cold: "So, all that talk you just gave me was to tell me where my power comes from—from Indra's chakra, right?"

Sasuke Uchiha scoffed, "Uehara Naraku doesn't have any reincarnated chakra, does he? It seems this chakra is clearly hindering me from becoming stronger!"

"..."

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head and calmly said, "That's because the true power within you has never been channeled out."

"Oh?"

Sasuke Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "If the power within me is channeled out, will I be able to defeat Uehara Naraku?"

"Military force is not the primary condition for defeating the enemy."

The Sage of Six Paths slowly extended his palm and calmly said, "Only with an unwavering will and the ability to perceive the love of others..."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke was somewhat speechless.

Was the Sage of Six Paths serious?

If you can't beat him with force, can you still try to win him over with love?

That bastard Uehara Naraku has done all sorts of bad things and good things. Uchiha Sasuke really wants to send that Sage of Six Paths out to see if he can reform Uehara Naraku!

The Sage of Six Paths flipped his palm again, looking at Sasuke, who was always at odds with Uehara Naraku, and couldn't help but say, "Besides, Uehara Naraku isn't the enemy you need to deal with. He won't be of much use in this final battle..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but look up at the Sage of Six Paths, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Sage of Six Paths," he said, "can you be sure that Uehara Naraku will definitely fall into the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

The Sage of Six Paths slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "Only those who possess the Rinnegan can avoid the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Uehara Naraku does not have any of my bloodline limits within him, so even if his power is strong, he may not be able to escape the Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

After speaking, the Sage of Six Paths suddenly looked at Sasuke Uchiha and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you could consider saving him when the Infinite Tsukuyomi arrives. That way, when Mother is reborn into this world, you will gain a powerful ally..."

"hehe…"

A mocking smile crept across Sasuke's lips. He muttered, "If I save him, and after we defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki, what if that Uehara Naraku deceives us again? He has quite a few precedents!"

The Sage of Six Paths: "..."

I really hadn't thought about that.

But that's probably unlikely, isn't it? After surviving a world-ending crisis together, how could we possibly turn against each other?

This reincarnation of Indra's chakra still lacks love in his heart...

The Sage of Six Paths slowly raised his head, looked at Uchiha Sasuke, and calmly asked, "So, what do you intend to do?"

After a moment of silence, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly raised his head and said, "Tell us first how to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

"…good."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Sasuke Uchiha and slowly nodded, calmly saying, "Extend your dominant hand. This time, I will not ignore the power of the eldest son, and I will also entrust my power to the reincarnation of Indra."

"…Um."

Uchiha Sasuke extended his left hand.

The next moment, the Sage of Six Paths placed his palm on his hand, and a huge god statue appeared and disappeared behind him!

A crescent moon symbol landed in Uchiha Sasuke's palm.

That was the Yin power seal given to him by the Sage of Six Paths.

Within another spiritual space.

Naruto Uzumaki slowly extended his right hand, having obtained the Yang Power Seal and Six Paths Sage Technique from the Sage of Six Paths.

"Although I believe my power is enough to change everything..."

Naruto Uzumaki frowned involuntarily. He looked at the white sun symbol on his palm, then glanced at the Sage of Six Paths: "But I feel like Uehara Naraku is still stronger than me!"

"hehe…"

The Sage of Six Paths chuckled softly, and said in a familiar tone, "Sometimes, to resolve conflicts between people, all you need is for them to understand each other..."

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki listened in silence for a while.

After a moment, Naruto Uzumaki slowly nodded.

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

After Naruto finished speaking, his brows furrowed again: "But I really can't understand what Uehara is thinking!"

First update...

Visiting relatives today…

Updated in the afternoon or evening...

I'll lower the standard today. I'll guarantee at least five chapters, and if I get back early, I'll make it six!
