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

Yosuke raised his question: "Sage of Six Paths, in the power system of this world, where does my strength fall?"

In his soul form, the Sage of Six Paths could sense Yosuke's burgeoning soul power and was able to perceive about 70-80% of Yosuke's strength.

"By the standards of our world, you should be considered barely at the peak of the Kage level. There are very few ninjas who can defeat you."

Yosuke is under a lot of pressure right now. According to the Sage of Six Paths, every ninja village has several Kage-level ninjas, and there are further levels above Kage.

Moreover, Yang Jie's only advantage—immortality—is not uncommon in this world. There are many ways to achieve immortality, or even eternal life.

Moreover, immortality is not invincible. The world is full of all sorts of strange sealing techniques, some specifically targeting the physical body and others targeting the soul, making them virtually impossible to defend against.

This journey to another world was indeed fraught with danger; not letting Zhi and the others come was the right choice.

“Yosuke, I cannot grant you any abilities, but I can enable you to learn the power of our world’s system.”

The Sage of Six Paths extended his finger and tapped Yang Jie's brow. Yang Jie felt a strange change occur within his body, with some new meridians appearing.

At the same time, the system issued a notification.

[The host's body forms chakra pathways; now chakra can be refined.]

"Now your body can refine chakra. Chakra is a product of the balanced mixing of one's spiritual energy and physical energy, and it can be used to perform 'techniques' unique to our world."

The Sage of Six Paths, the guardian of this world, was very kind to Yosuke, a stranger.

However, the kindness he showed was too generous, which puzzled Yosuke.

The Sage of Six Paths seemed to see through Yang Jie's concerns and explained, "I have my own purpose in doing all this. We cannot sense the existence of the God Lord from your world. Only you, from the same world, can sense him. Therefore, in order to help you capture the God Lord more efficiently, I will do my best to help you."

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking it."

"There is one more thing, concerning the chosen one of destiny selected by the will of this world. If you encounter him, you may offer him appropriate assistance, but please do not interfere with his future," the Sage of Six Paths said solemnly.

The Chosen One is of great importance, and Yosuke will inevitably come into contact with him during his search for the God Lord. The Sage of Six Paths has no choice but to remind Yosuke of this.

The Sage of Six Paths gave Yosuke the meridians that allowed him to use chakra so that Yosuke could capture the God Lord as soon as possible, leave this world, and allow the future of this world to proceed as planned.

Over the course of five years, many events occurred that exceeded the Sage of Six Paths' expectations. In all these events, an invisible hand was manipulating everything, forcing the Sage of Six Paths to worry about future developments.

Yang Jie, aware of the implications, nodded and said, "I understand. So, what is the name of that chosen one?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, that's his future name, but he hasn't been born yet. However, it will happen around this time. A major event will occur when Naruto Uzumaki is born, and perhaps even the God Lord will be involved. You can go and investigate when that happens. His location is Konoha Village in the Land of Fire."

Yang Jie nodded and said, "I understand. I will go then."

The Sage of Six Paths relaxed his tightly furrowed brows: "Then I'll leave it to you. I hope you can capture the God Lord as soon as possible."

The Sage of Six Paths' body gradually became transparent until it disappeared, and Yosuke also left this space.

——

Deep underground in the dark, remote village of a certain country, there were two figures.

One is a hermaphrodite surrounded by pitcher plants.

The other one resembled the hermaphrodite, but also bore some resemblance to the god that Yosuke was chasing. Except for his green hair, everything else was deathly white.

These two are Jue and the God Lord, whose soul was parasitized in Bai Jue's body because his physical body was destroyed.

Zetsu asked the god, "How is it? Are Obito and Nagato obedient?"

The God Lord sneered, "Those who have been blinded by hatred can be easily controlled with just a little provocation. Don't worry, Obito and Nagato have already controlled the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure. Now the entire Kirigakure is under our control."

"Peace is a very good excuse. It seems everything is going according to plan. By the way... Lord God, the guy you mentioned can come to our world now."

The deity's expression turned solemn: "Are you sure?"

"It should be confirmed now. That guy, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, just came to the human world from the Pure World, and the aura of the person he came into contact with is very similar to yours."

The shrine maiden gritted her teeth and snorted angrily, "Ubuyashiki Yosuke, you really are a persistent ghost!"

The god hadn't expected that even though he had already escaped to another world, Yosuke could still keep up.

Suppressing his anger, the God said to Jue, "Don't forget what you promised me!"

"Don't worry, didn't you want a body that could house your soul and possess great power? I've already found one for you, and it will definitely satisfy you."

Which one is it?

Zetsu replied, "Right now, he's at the height of his power, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, known as the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze."

"It was him?! With his Flying Thunder God Technique, are you really confident you can handle it?"

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique is a speed that even the God of War, who once possessed the power of Instantaneous Words, could not match.

"Don't worry, Obito will take care of Minato Namikaze."

"Him? Are you kidding me? Even though Obito Uchiha is extremely corrupted now, it doesn't necessarily mean he'd be willing to kill his master. Even if Obito were willing, his chances of winning against Minato Namikaze aren't great, are they?"

"Have faith in Obito. I have this confidence based on the fact that Minato Namikaze's wife is pregnant."

"That Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" The God Lord vaguely guessed Zetsu's thoughts. "Your plan is to rely on the loosening of the seal during the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's childbirth to release the Nine-Tails and use it to threaten Minato Namikaze?"

"That's right, the specific outcome depends on Obito."

The God Lord complained to Jue with some resentment, "Hmph, I told you long ago to bring back Uchiha Shisui's body so I could possess it. But the most important part of the body I brought back, the Sharingan, was missing. Otherwise, why would I bother using this broken body?!"

Zetsu apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Danzo to have such a keen sense of smell, and that he took Shisui's right eye before I did."

The God Lord gave Zetsu a deep look: "I'll assume it was a mistake on your part. You must understand, we're now partners. I'll help you deceive Hagoromo Otsutsuki's investigation and help you achieve your desired goals. In return, you must help me, on the verge of this world becoming a breeding ground and facing destruction, give me what I need."

With a 'sincere' expression, Jue said, "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you."

Chapter 151 Robbers

Since the matter concerned his own body, in order to ensure that the plan would go perfectly, the god decided to go to Kirigakure in person to meet up with Obito, keep an eye on him, and keep brainwashing him.

After the God Lord left, Jue sneered, "Ha, cooperation? How laughable."

Five years ago, when the God appeared in this world, Black Zetsu, who was monitoring everything, immediately discovered that the God was an intruder from another world.

Similarly, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, as a guardian, also appeared from the Pure Land.

The God Lord sensed the unique power of rules emanating from Hagoromo Otsutsuki and thus sought to seize it.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu were very perceptive and noticed the malice emanating from the God.

However, the God Lord underestimated Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was revered as the Sage of Six Paths, and also underestimated the combat power of this world. In comparison, this world belonged to a world of advanced combat power, and even an ordinary person was much stronger than the people of their world.

Unsurprisingly, the God was utterly defeated and had no chance to fight back.

However, before being completely killed by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the god abandoned his physical body, allowing his soul to escape.

Jue followed the soul of the God Lord all the way and found that the God Lord's soul was right in front of him, but he could not sense any of his aura.

As a master of stealth, Zetsu is generally undetectable by ordinary ninjas, but there are some special methods that can help them find him.

What's even more troublesome for him is that Hagoromo Otsutsuki has already vaguely sensed the existence of his "brother".

To prevent being discovered by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Zetsu decided to cooperate with the God Lord and use his power to completely conceal his aura.

After the God Lord's body was destroyed by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, he was completely disoriented. Just then, Zetsu approached him, and the two formed a temporary alliance.

After spending some time together, Jue discovered that in addition to being able to conceal his aura, the God Lord also possessed many practical and bizarre abilities.

Jue revealed the Infinite Moonblasphemy Plan and the tried-and-true peace rhetoric to the God Lord, hoping to trick the God Lord into working for him.

However, this time Jue failed. The God Lord was not fooled. What the God Lord wanted was the power of the world's rules, and he had no interest in Jue's plan at all.

Through Jue's subtle probing, Jue roughly learned what the God Lord wanted, and also learned that the God Lord didn't care about peace at all, but wanted to restore his power, return to his world, and destroy it.

Jue felt that he was somewhat similar to the God Lord in this respect, so he "accidentally" revealed some inside information.

The Absolute God said, "My goal is to retrieve the nine tailed beasts, resummon the ten-tailed beast, and bring the Divine Tree back to life. This world will become a breeding ground, specifically to provide nutrients for the Divine Tree. The fruits born from the Divine Tree will possess the power of the world's rules. I promise you, once I achieve my goal, the fruits of the Divine Tree will belong to you."

Faced with this completely unfamiliar world, the God Lord had no better solutions for the time being, so he accepted Jue's proposal and formed a cooperative relationship.

However, both of them were fully aware that as long as their interests clashed, they could stab each other in the back at any time.

Meanwhile, Yosuke arrived in the Land of Rice Fields after passing through several villages, experiencing the local customs and culture of this world.

Well, although many ordinary people who lack talent and cannot use 'techniques' still have some chakra within them.

This also means that the next generation of these ordinary people may produce exceptionally talented geniuses, which is why this world is so powerful.

Moreover, the technology in this world is somewhat similar to that in Yosuke's world, with trains, radio communication, refrigerators, and so on, while other aspects of technology seem to have gone astray.

However, in some uncivilized areas, there were bandits, and Yosuke was "lucky" enough to encounter one.

As Yosuke passed through a forest, a dozen or so men suddenly emerged from the woods. The leader, a one-eyed bandit, carried a gleaming samurai sword, while the others carried only meager farm tools such as shovels.

The one-eyed bandit stared greedily at Yosuke. Just by looking at Yosuke's attire, one could tell he was a fat sheep, and even though the sword at his waist was in its sheath, its sharpness was palpable.

This road is the only way from the Land of Fields to the Land of Fire. Wealthy young men often pass through it. These young men may not have much else, but they are rich. Many of them will buy some very expensive weapons to adorn themselves.

Yosuke's fair skin and delicate features led the one-eyed bandit to mistake him for a fat sheep visiting the Land of Fire.

"Hey kid, hand over everything you have, including the clothes you're wearing. They look worth a lot of money. If you do as I say, we might have the mercy to spare your life!"

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

Yosuke almost laughed; this was the first time in all these years that someone had called him "kid".

"Kid, you think you can beat us just by wearing a decoration on your waist? Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin."

The one-eyed bandit placed his right hand on the hilt of his unsheathed katana, adopted a lunge stance, leaned slightly forward, and taunted, "What I enjoy most is seeing you self-important bastards kneeling before me begging for mercy. Are you ready to die?"

Seeing their leader's demeanor, the bandits behind him were all greatly encouraged.

"That kid's done for, boss's serious!"

"The boss is really something, we could have handled these small fry."

"Maybe the boss thinks we're too clumsy and might damage the kid's valuables."

The bandits discussed amongst themselves, as if victory was assured.

The one-eyed bandit roared, "Prepare to die! Draw your sword and slash!"

In an instant, the one-eyed bandit appeared in front of Yosuke, quickly drawing his sword with his right hand and slashing at him with lightning speed.

However, at this speed, Yosuke felt like he was crawling at a snail's pace.

Just as the blade was about to strike, Yosuke raised his right hand and precisely grabbed the one-eyed bandit's wrist as he swung the knife, then kicked him in the stomach.

The immense impact sent the one-eyed bandit flying backward.
