People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Naruto and Sasuke: "You should be aware of the Ashura and Indra chakra within your bodies, right?"

Sasuke and Naruto nodded at the same time.

The Sage of Six Paths continued, "The previous reincarnations were Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Hashirama was Ashura, and Madara was Indra. You know what happened to them afterward. Madara created a problem before ending his reincarnation career."

Madara Uchiha, overly obsessed with power, stole Hashirama's power and awakened the Rinnegan. This involved fusing a portion of Ashura's chakra with Indra's, ultimately drawing out my own chakra—my Rinnegan.

Sasuke asked, "Then, Sage of Six Paths, were you just watching your son's brothers fight from the sidelines?"

The Sage of Six Paths closed his eyes slightly, somewhat ashamed: "Well, I guess so."

Then the Sage of Six Paths solemnly said:

"The definition of chakra in Ninshu is the power that connects individuals. I firmly believe that chakra cannot be used to amplify the power of a single individual. My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, ruled the entire world with her own power after ending the chaos."

However, in the end, the mother became arrogant because of her power, and people began to fear this power. The mother, who was originally known as the Goddess of the Rabbit, unknowingly became a demon that everyone feared.

Madara is like that now. Just like his mother, his life as the reincarnation of Indra has ended. He not only possesses the power of the dragon veins generated by the earth, but also the power of the Ten-Tails. His strength has far surpassed mine, and he is even approaching the power of my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"In order to reach the strength of my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha will definitely choose to summon the God Tree and merge the chakra of the entire world into one. At that time, a new chakra fruit will appear. We must not let this happen under any circumstances!"

When Yosuke first heard the name "Chakra Fruit," he wondered, "What would happen if Madara Uchiha got his hands on this Chakra Fruit?"

The Sage of Six Paths explained, “The Chakra Fruit is not only a collection of chakra, but also the power of the rules of the entire world. The fruit of the Divine Tree contains enormous energy and genetic information. If Madara Uchiha were to obtain and eat it, he would become the ruler of this world, which is the rules themselves. Yosuke, you came to this world for the missing power of the rules in your world. You should understand the seriousness of this, right?”

Yang Jie's expression gradually became serious.

The Sage of Six Paths continued, "Therefore, it is necessary to stop Madara Uchiha. However, with your current strength, it is not realistic to fight against Madara Uchiha who has obtained the Ten-Tails. So I will give you my backup plan."

The Sage of Six Paths opened his right palm, and eight energy balls of different colors appeared.

"When I separated the Ten-Tails and created the nine tailed beasts, I collected a portion of their chakra. Naruto, I entrust these eight tailed beast powers to you. Now you will possess the chakra of all the tailed beasts."

The Sage of Six Paths infused Naruto's body with the power of the eight tailed beasts.

The Nine-Tails' voice came from Naruto's body: "Old man, it seems the time for our agreement has really come."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded: "Yes, Kurama."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Sasuke: "I once entrusted everything to my younger brother Ashura, and failed to face my older brother Indra. This sowed the seeds of disaster. Sasuke, you are different from Indra and Madara. You did not choose their old path, but chose to believe in the power of your comrades."

The Sage of Six Paths opened his left palm, and a ball of yellow chakra appeared in his palm again: "This is Ashura's chakra. Madara Uchiha had his Indra power and Ashura power merged because he transplanted Hashirama's cells, which guided my power. Similarly, you have merged with Ashura's power and can also guide my power."

The yellow chakra detached from the Sage of Six Paths' palm and entered Sasuke's body.

Sasuke's left eye began to itch and hurt slightly, so he instinctively closed his eye.

When the itching and pain stopped, Sasuke opened his left eye again, and the Sharingan in his left eye had turned into a purple six-tomoe Rinnegan.

After granting Naruto and Sasuke new power, the Sage of Six Paths said, "But this is not enough. Even with your new power, you are still not strong enough to fight against Madara Uchiha. Moreover, Madara Uchiha has become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, which means that the day when my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, breaks the seal is not far off. Come, extend your dominant hands."

Sasuke extended his left hand, and Naruto extended his right hand.

The Sage of Six Paths placed his left and right hands on Sasuke and Naruto's outstretched hands.

A powerful force surged into Sasuke and Naruto's bodies.

When the Sage of Six Paths removed his hands, a moon mark appeared in Sasuke's palm, while a sun mark appeared in Naruto's palm.

The Sage of Six Paths explained, “This is the power of Hamura and me. The crescent moon in my left hand represents Hamura’s Yin power, and the sun in my right hand represents my Yang power. Only by possessing both Yin and Yang power can one activate the Six Paths level Chibaku Tensei. Back then, Hamura and I used these two powers to use the Six Paths level Chibaku Tensei to seal my mother together.”

Naruto and Sasuke received power from the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Yosuke and Toneri: "Yosuke, Toneri, I have no power to give you, because Yosuke, your power is already comparable to mine, and Toneri, your power is inherited from Hamura, and your strength is also close to mine."

But now, Naruto and Sasuke alone are no longer enough to save us. Your strength is essential because, besides Madara Uchiha, there is another hidden threat.”

Yosuke guessed, "It's Orochimaru, isn't it?"

The Sage of Six Paths solemnly declared, "No, it's Uchiha Obito!"

Chapter 388 The Sage of Six Paths' Plans

Upon hearing the Sage of Six Paths mention that the hidden threat was Obito Uchiha, Yosuke was slightly taken aback, then asked incredulously, "How could it be him?"

"On the day you returned from the past through the Dragon Vein Passage, besides Madara Uchiha bringing back the Rinnegan, Obito Uchiha also brought back something from the past..."

Yosuke waited solemnly for the Sage of Six Paths' reply.

"Obito Uchiha brought back another Gedo Mazo!"

Upon hearing this information, Yosuke, Toneri, Sasuke, and Naruto all trembled simultaneously.

"How is this possible?!"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed: "If it weren't for Obito Uchiha reviving the Gedo Mazo he brought back into the Ten-Tails, and that slight aura leaking out when he entered and exited the alternate dimension, I might still be in the dark."

The Sage of Six Paths' words struck Yosuke and the others like a bolt from the blue.

"That Gedo Mazo has also been resurrected as the Ten-Tails?"

The Sage of Six Paths nodded and said, "That's right. Judging from the aura, it has been resurrected as the Ten-Tails' juvenile form. Although it is not as powerful as Madara Uchiha's Ten-Tails, it is still the Ten-Tails after all."

Furthermore, Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru each obtained a Rinnegan from Nagato. If Obito becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he can also reach the true Six Paths level.

Bad news kept coming, and Yosuke and the other three were extremely depressed.

Sasuke suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha are mortal enemies. We can wait for them to fight each other, weaken their fighting power, and then we can defeat them one by one."

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head: "This method is not feasible. If Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha summon the Divine Tree at the same time, the power of the two Divine Trees will collide with each other, and the Earth will be destroyed instantly."

Naruto frowned: "Wouldn't that put us at a disadvantage?"

The Sage of Six Paths said to Yosuke, "Actually, I have an idea, but I need your approval, Yosuke."

Yang Jie nodded and said, "Please feel free to speak."

The Sage of Six Paths spoke, “Since you and the God Lord descended into our world, and since the world's will acknowledged your existence, the fate lines of our world and your world have become intertwined. With the arrival of the two divine trees, if our world is destroyed, the roots of the divine trees will extend into your world and devour it as well.

My idea is to create a passage between this world and Yosuke's world. That way, if Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha summon the God Tree at the same time, the damage will be spread across the two worlds, minimizing the harm.

Yosuke's expression turned solemn; he hadn't expected the two worlds to influence each other.

The Sage of Six Paths continued, “Yosuke, I know this is hard to accept, after all, you came to our world to protect your world, but now it can be said that the two worlds are bound by fate, so I hope you can let me go to your world to persuade them to fight together against the upcoming final battle.”

After thinking for a moment, Yosuke agreed, "Okay, I will open a passage for you to go to my world!"

The Sage of Six Paths looked at everyone present: "Before I return from Yosuke's world, I'm entrusting this to you all. You must stop Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha from summoning the Divine Tree at the same time. If the two Divine Trees descend before I can persuade them to open the passage, it will be too late!"

All four nodded at the same time.

The Sage of Six Paths said to Yosuke, "There's no time to lose, Yosuke, let's begin."

Yang Jie called out to the system: "System, construct a void passage!"

[The void channel is under construction... Construction complete, the void channel is now established!]

A passage woven from countless rays of light appeared in front of Yosuke.

Before entering the passage, the Sage of Six Paths instructed, "Everyone, I entrust everything to you before I return!"

After the Sage of Six Paths entered the void passage, the void passage closed automatically.

Yosuke, Toneri, Sasuke, and Naruto were all deeply moved.

Because the battles to come will be extremely difficult.

The four discussed how to force Obito Uchiha out, since the enemy hiding behind the scenes was extremely dangerous and they didn't know when he would come out and deliver a fatal blow.

Moreover, Obito Uchiha, who could freely enter and exit space-time, had virtually no way to counter him.

Sasuke suddenly said, "I might have a way to counter Obito Uchiha's Kamui."

Yang Jie asked, "What method?"

Sasuke pointed to his six-tomoe Rinnegan in his left eye: "I feel that my Rinnegan has given birth to a dojutsu. Let me demonstrate it."

The six tomoe in Sasuke's Rinnegan spun rapidly.

"Heavenly Hand Power!"

Sasuke and Yosuke switched places in an instant.

Yosuke asked in surprise, "A space-time ninjutsu similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Sasuke nodded and said, "This is a new eye technique born from the Rinnegan. It can swap the position of what one sees with one's own at close range. So maybe we can swap positions with Obito Uchiha before he enters the space-time dimension and prevent him from entering."

Sheren sighed, "But the problem now is that we have no idea where Obito Uchiha is. Your ability can only be used in face-to-face battles."

The four fell silent once again.

Suddenly.

A commotion broke out outside.

When Yosuke and the others went out, they found that Jiraiya had returned, bringing back the seriously injured Nagato and Konan.

The ninjas from various villages deeply resented Nagato, believing that it was because of him that they were in such a desperate situation.

So they all wanted to rush forward and kill Nagato and Konan.

Only through Jiraiya's persistent pleas and with Konoha vouching for him were Nagato and Konan's lives saved.

However, he was still detained by the Allied Shinobi Forces as a criminal.

After Nagato awoke, he did not resist his current situation, but rather accepted it calmly.

And without reservation, he shared the abilities he displayed when fighting Obito and Orochimaru with everyone.

Not long after.

Neji found Yosuke and Sasuke.

Neji removed his mask and excitedly exclaimed, "Lord Yosuke, Sasuke, I did it! My Tenseigan has been successfully conceived!"

Yosuke and Sasuke were genuinely happy for Neji.

Now, every bit of extra strength equals a greater chance of victory.

but.

Tsunade, Hiashi Hyuga, and the elders of the Hyuga clan suddenly arrived.

Hiashi Hyuga looked at Neji, who had removed his mask, and said, "It really is you, Neji!"

Neji's joyful expression vanished, replaced by a blank stare as he addressed Hiashi Hyuga by name: "Hyuga Hiashi, what? Do you intend to kill me, a traitor of the Hyuga clan, right here? You can try and see if you can do it now!"
