The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 147 Testing

"What if I join you?"

A deep, resonant voice echoed in the Hamura Shrine, and an elderly figure, clad in a robe adorned with magatama and wielding a sage's staff, appeared beside Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, with his circular Rinnegan, reflected the unruly young man before him, whose strength had grown to the point that even he could no longer see him clearly.

Moreover, the rapid development of the ninja world and its clashes with other continents kept him busy.

He couldn't help but feel the tide of the times, as if it were about to wash him, this old wave, away on the beach.

"Including Lady Yuyi, of course they are qualified!"

With his arms crossed, Uchiha Muan opened and closed his eyes, and the crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eye sockets. Looking at the two Otsutsuki brothers standing side by side, a desire to fight spread in his heart.

Come to think of it, he has never truly gone all out since he acquired the power of the Six Paths. If he could defeat the Six Paths Brothers, the True Dragon King and Dragon Emperor of the Other Continent, and those unpredictable world-class artifacts, they probably wouldn't be able to threaten him anymore.

Watching the restless Uchiha Takeuchi, the Rokudo brothers were a bit at a loss. It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but that they didn't want to fight a pointless battle.

Whether it's Hagoromo Otsutsuki's transcendence from yin to yang in his Pure Land, or Hamura Otsutsuki's transcendence of the limit with his Reincarnation Eye, both require enormous and vast energy.

Their plans have been in progress for a thousand years and have reached a critical juncture; neither wants to create any unnecessary complications.

(Indra's descendants are always driven by their emotions.)

(But we are not people who will be bullied!)

Faced with the provocation of his junior, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's gaze was deep and his face showed no anger, remaining extremely calm. He tapped his Sage Staff on the ground, making a crisp sound. "Wu An-san, if you don't mind the earth cracking and all living beings being wiped out, we will certainly accompany you to the end in this battle."

One step of showing weakness leads to further steps of showing weakness.

Since we're going to fight, let's fight to the bitter end. Either the two brothers will perish completely and turn to ashes, or Uchiha Wu'an will die a violent death on the spot!

"My brother's will is my will!"

With Hagoromo Otsutsuki arriving to lend a hand, how could Hamura Otsutsuki back down? At this moment, the tables have turned, and it is now Uchiha Takeo's turn to feel immense pressure.

(These two old idiots...)

Uchiha Takeo twitched his index finger slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the two Rokudo brothers.

He was fully utilizing the spatial domain of [Tian Chang Li Zun], contemplating whether he could transfer the two of them to outer space for a life-or-death battle without any scruples.

The two brothers of the Six Paths were undoubtedly at a low point in their strength. Even though their strength was below that of the Six Paths, Uchiha Wu'an absolutely did not believe that he would lose, but the probability of winning was not high either.

Overall, it's roughly a 50/50 situation.

Suddenly, the three people standing at the pinnacle of the world moved their eyes and all of them used spatial jumps to travel to the outside of the moon.

"You two really have a lot of little tricks up your sleeves."

"Same to you."

Uchiha Takeo, who wanted to move the Six Paths Brothers, also sensed the spatial pull of the other party. In order not to be drawn into the disadvantage of the terrain, Uchiha Takeo chose to leave first.

The three stared at each other for a while, separated by 80,000 meters. Uchiha Wu'an looked at the ninja world behind them, snorted disdainfully, and suppressed his fighting spirit.

"Is this all you two are capable of?"

"The means don't matter as long as it increases the chances of winning by one or two points."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes were indifferent, and he did not think that threatening Uchiha Muan with the ninja world behind him was a shameful or unbecoming thing to do.

He had herded the ninja world for a thousand years and had long been accustomed to life and death. The lives of mortals were but a few short decades; dying early or late made no difference.

The same applies to Hamura Otsutsuki.

Death is simply a process that all life must go through, and neither of them was an exception.

"boring!"

Since [Tian Chang Li Zun] cannot transfer these two to deeper and farther space, continuing their standoff is not very meaningful.

"I want the space on the moon!"

Uchiha Wu'an left with a single sentence and turned back to the ninja world.

The two remaining brothers, Rokudo and Rokudo, exchanged a glance and returned to the Hamura Shrine inside the moon.

Beneath the golden Tenseigan, Ōtsutsuki Hamura frowned slightly. "Brother Hagoromo, what are your plans for what comes next?"

"Understanding the meaning behind the song," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki, gazing at the Konoha research base above the moon and sensing the massive barrier technique gradually forming there.

"Sometimes, what belongs to him can also become ours."

"Let the young people do their thing. In the end, might makes right!"

At this point, Hagoromo Otsutsuki abruptly changed the subject, "How much longer do you have?"

After thinking for a moment, Hamura Otsutsuki replied, "I acquired a batch of Byakugan through the efforts of Takeo Uchiha, just in the last two or three years."

"I'm almost there too."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed, "After a thousand years of accumulation, we are finally about to see the dawn of success. When that time comes, you and I, the two brothers, will embark on the path of transcendence, and the world will be completely different."

"I see."

Hamura Otsutsuki's furrowed brows relaxed, and his dissatisfaction vanished without a trace thanks to his brother's encouragement. He glanced at the Konoha ninjas bustling about on the moon's surface, said nothing more, and turned back into the Tenseigan.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's figure also disappeared from Hamura Shrine.

Konoha, the Presidential Building.

(This probing attempt against Hamura Otsutsuki actually exceeded expectations; the Rokudo brothers remain formidable.)

(It's impossible to bring down these two stubborn old men like Biden in the short term by relying on oneself. If this drags on, who knows if they will do something unexpected.)

What Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura sought after a thousand years of accumulation was something that Uchiha Takeo had always been wary of.

This time, instead of using magic to condense a planet on its own, building the research base on the lunar surface was a test of Otsutsuki Hamura's abilities.

The result of the test was as expected; the two were clearly wary of something.

If they don't care about the masses in the ninja world, then they are obviously worried about something that is closely related to themselves—strength!

(I need to find a way to deal with these two old bastards as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be the one in trouble later.)

There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two masters on earth.

Uchiha Wu'an certainly didn't want two more powerful figures to rise above him, the leader of the ninja world.

He sat in his office, his gaze lingering on Kaori Minamoto for a moment.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think Kaori looks even prettier today."

Uchiha Takeo wanted the women in his family to become stronger and stronger, but as time went on, he increasingly didn't want the storms of the outside world to get involved in the family, and he didn't want them to participate in battles.

This would make him feel incompetent.

Kaori put down her pen and stared intently at Uchiha Takeoshi. They were an old married couple, so how could she not sense the hesitation in his heart?
