From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

A horn that hasn't grown yet!

The Sage of Six Paths also had horns on his forehead. Among his descendants, apart from the Gold Horn and Silver Horn brothers of Kumogakure who grew a pair of horns for some unknown reason, no one else has ever had this feature.

If Sasuke's forehead evolves into the prototype of the Moon Eye in the future, and horns grow on his forehead as well...

So, Sasuke in that state at that time could be said to be...

He's definitely the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths!

"But...it's really ugly!"

The shadow clone observed for a while and then complained.

Chapter 245 The attention of the Six Paths, all the planning is no match for a moment of cheat code.

The Pure Land of the Underworld!

In the center of a blank, endless white void, the Sage of Six Paths sits silently, holding a mysterious black staff, his eyes closed.

Behind him, in addition to the nine black Truth-Seeking Balls that floated up all year round, there were also two mysterious black-sheathed samurai swords suspended in the air.

At the moment when Sasuke underwent a cell-based experiment with the Hagoromo clan and his body exhibited a reversion to ancestral traits, the Sage of Six Paths seemed to sense something and raised his head.

The mysterious Rinnegan, shimmering with an eerie light, pierced the boundary between life and death, transcended distance and space, and overcame obstacles and barriers, fixing its gaze on Sasuke inside the experimental room.

"........"

Upon seeing the boy's familiar face and hair color, the usually composed and dignified Sage of Six Paths paused, a faint trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

Sasuke and Indra already looked somewhat alike, except for their hair color; now their hair colors are almost identical.

For a fleeting moment, the Sage of Six Paths almost mistook it for his eldest son, Indra.

However, the momentary lapse in concentration was fleeting. When the Sage of Six Paths glanced at the vertical eye between the boy's brows, his astonished expression instantly turned serious.

"Uchiha Sasuke? Or... Indra?"

The Sage of Six Paths murmured softly, as the last three words, Indra, fell from his lips.

Clang!

The two mysterious samurai swords behind him, one of which had a mysterious crescent moon mark engraved on its hilt, suddenly began to vibrate rapidly. A dark and colorful Yin energy surged forth and spread out at an extremely fast speed.

In that very instant, the endless white of the Yellow Springs Pure Land was also tinged with a vibrant purple.

This samurai sword, engraved with mysterious moon marks, seemed poised to soar into the sky at any moment and return to the hands of its master from a thousand years ago.

Immortal's Blade (Yin)!

The Sage of Six Paths possesses three sacred treasures: the Sage's Blade in his left hand and the Sage's Staff in his right.

And finally, the Six Paths Divine Sword—the Swamp Spear—formed from his wishes after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and founding Ninshu!

The Immortal's Blade was originally a divine weapon of the Six Paths, embodying the unity of Yin and Yang, and possessing both Yang and Yin escape techniques. (Note: 1)

Later, after his sons Indra and Ashura were born, the Sage of Six Paths split the Sage's Sword in two, giving Ashura a samurai sword containing the power of Yang Release and engraved with a sun pattern.

The samurai sword, imbued with the power of Yin and engraved with a Yin moon pattern, was given to the eldest son, Indra.

Later, Indra and Asura had a disagreement, and the two brothers, each wielding a Yin-style sword and a Yang-style sword respectively, engaged in a final battle, which ended with Indra's defeat.

Of course, Ashura also possessed a Six Paths Divine Item that was even more powerful than Indra's half-powered Sage's Blade. This item was the Sage's Staff, which was formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball and had the sun and moon shapes at its two ends.

After choosing Ashura as the successor of the Ninja Clan, the Sage of Six Paths gifted Ashura the Sage's Staff.

Therefore, it's not unjust that Indra lost to his brother Asura back then.

Ashura not only received temporary power from the Sage of Six Paths, but also gained a divine weapon and the Nine-Tails in its complete form, the leader of the nine tailed beasts, as an auxiliary source of chakra to sustain its power.

With two kings and four twos in hand, how are you going to play against me?

After Ashura and Indra died, the Sage's Yin-Yang Twin Blades and Sage's Staff returned to the Sage of Six Paths, where they have remained in the Pure Land of the Underworld ever since.

Unexpectedly, when the Sage of Six Paths turned his gaze to Sasuke today, this Yin Release sword, which had never moved in a thousand years, seemed to sense something and suddenly began to resonate.

"Why....."

The Sage of Six Paths sighed softly, gently stroking the blade with his hand. The blade, which seemed poised to soar into the sky, instantly lost its momentum, cried out a few times in grievance, and then became completely obedient.

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head, refocusing his gaze on Sasuke, and said softly, "So, you are Uchiha Sasuke? Or Indra? Or perhaps Uchiha Sasuke who inherited some of Indra's memories?"

The Sage of Six Paths stared intently at the boy with his Rinnegan, his unfathomable and awe-inspiring gaze seemingly trying to see through everything about the boy and reveal all the secrets he had hidden.

This was not the first time the Sage of Six Paths had observed Sasuke Uchiha. In fact, it could be said that even before Sasuke was born, he would frequently cast his gaze upon him.

However, as time went on, the Sage of Six Paths found himself increasingly unable to understand or guess the reincarnation of Indra in this life.

Especially a few years ago, on the night after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the behavior of this reincarnation of Indra became increasingly bizarre and unpredictable.

The Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to Sasuke Uchiha's body and soul on the night of the Uchiha massacre.

Of course, the Sage of Six Paths did not suspect that it was a case of possession or replacement.

In his observation, although Sasuke Uchiha's spiritual power surged after that night, he was still the same soul.

The reincarnation chakra of Indra's will still exist deep within his soul.

Moreover, even if someone wanted to possess this reincarnation of Indra, they absolutely could not hide it from him. First, they would have to get past Indra, and finally, they would have to get past him.

Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths never considered that Sasuke's sudden change in personality was due to possession or replacement.

Instead, I think it's because of the special timing of this millennium, coupled with the extreme stimulation that night.

The original form of Uchiha Sasuke awakened some memories belonging to Indra.

Otherwise, if it were just a sudden and drastic change, such as Uchiha Sasuke transforming from an innocent and naive child into a scheming and gloomy teenager, the Sage of Six Paths could understand the transformation, even though it was a big one.

However, this alone cannot explain why Uchiha Sasuke knew so many secrets of the ninja world; in fact, it could be said that many of the ninja world's secrets were not secrets to him at all.

Therefore, it can only be said that on that night, Sasuke Uchiha awakened some of Indra's memories, or even more than just Indra's memories.

Perhaps he possesses some of the memories of each of Indra's previous reincarnations.

Through years of observation, even the Sage of Six Paths, with his slow reaction, discovered that Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra, seemed to be extremely clear about many of the schemes and plans of the previous Indra reincarnation, Madara Uchiha.

Sasuke is also extremely cautious in his actions. When he is not strong enough, he will never easily touch the plans laid out by the previous Indra.

When they had enough strength, they used various schemes to play the tricks and pawns left by the previous Indra to the point of exhaustion.

However, he seemed to be very clear about the strength of the previous Indra and where his bottom line was.

There was a subtle sense of apprehension in their actions, a reluctance to act freely.

This cautious approach is quite different from the way Indra reincarnations have always acted.

Throughout history, even when facing a situation where I am outnumbered by three, the reincarnations of Indra can still display tremendous power.

When I'm outnumbered four to six, I dare to flip the chessboard directly, without playing any tricks.

This has led to the fact that the reincarnations of Indra throughout history have often been proven wrong.

But this Sasuke is different from all previous Indras; he will never act lightly without absolute certainty.

For a time, even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't figure out this extraordinary reincarnation of Indra.

"So, what event caused you to be so different from others?"

The Sage of Six Paths tapped his fingers lightly on his sage staff and murmured.

Throughout history, Indra has always been a troublemaker, something the Sage of Six Paths was already used to.

In particular, Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of the previous Indra, could be said to be the culmination of the mischief-making abilities of all previous Indras.

The Sage of Six Paths was aware of Madara Uchiha's plan, but for some reason, he did not intervene and let it develop on its own.

While Sasuke can still cause trouble, he hasn't done anything that crosses the Sage of Six Paths' bottom line so far.

However, the Sage of Six Paths could vaguely sense that Indra would cause even more earth-shattering things in the future.

After all, even Madara Uchiha in his youth, adulthood, and prime didn't cause as much trouble as Sasuke does now.

"It seems it's time to find an opportunity to test this reincarnation of Indra."

The Sage of Six Paths gave the boy a deep look, then withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Ghost Island, underground base!

"Huh...huh..."

Sasuke climbed out of the nutrient tank, took a few heavy breaths, and then looked at himself in the mirror. Looking at his drastically changed appearance, he shook his head with a wry smile.

At this moment, Sasuke's skin turned deathly pale, unlike his previous rosy complexion, which was now a deathly pallor like a block of ice.

Her originally slender figure has become muscular, with clearly defined eight-pack abs, and there is almost no excess fat on her body.

"This art style isn't quite right..."

Sasuke imagined her to have bright, sparkling eyes, red lips and white teeth, a beautiful face, a gentle and refined demeanor, and an elegant and graceful bearing. She was immaculate from head to toe, as if she had descended from the heavens like a celestial being.

Even when laughing uncontrollably during battle, there is still a sense of otherworldly grace to it.

Anyone who glanced at him couldn't help but admire him; what a handsome young man, a man of extraordinary bearing.

It wasn't like the muscular hunk he looks now.

If the Third Raikage were to see this form, he would surely be amazed, for it is a symbol of power, bravery, and strength.

But Sasuke still felt the art style was too incongruous and felt a little uncomfortable.

After making a comment, Sasuke then focused his gaze on his brownish-gray hair and the small bump between his foreheads.

"I've regressed to my ancestral ways, that makes sense, since I've now gathered the bloodlines of all the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."

'Although I am still far inferior to the Sage of Six Paths in terms of power, at least the Ten-Tails bloodline gene pool from the source of my bloodline should be considered complete.'

Touching his hair and forehead, Sasuke pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly, and a crackling sound of bones grinding against each other echoed throughout his body.

A moment later, Sasuke, whose appearance had changed drastically due to his ancestral reversion, returned to his previous appearance with jet-black hair and a slender figure.

This is not some kind of transformation technique, nor is it some kind of disguise or makeup; it is a real change in form from the inside out.

For him, who inherited Orochimaru's memories, although he did not undergo software modifications, it was extremely easy to change his appearance and physique without limiting his strength.

Sasuke nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he had transformed back into the elegant and refined young man he once was.

He then began to sense the changes in his own body.
