From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Sasuke secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

"Of course I know."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded, his face serious, and said:

"But this is one of the necessary stages that the ninja world must go through in its transformation."

"Hmm, a change in the ninja world?"

Sasuke chuckled and retorted, "Fine, you say this is something that must be experienced in the transformation of the ninja world. How do you know that what I'm doing now isn't part of that transformation in the future?"

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head: "This is different."

"Different? Things that aren't in your plans are different? Old man, you're still as arrogant as ever."

At this point, Sasuke showed a look of sudden realization.

"You left a hidden device in the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?"

Sasuke had long suspected this, after all, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sage of Six Paths emerged from a part of Madara Uchiha's body, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Moreover, although it appears that Naruto and Sasuke sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki with Six Paths, the final step was actually completed by the Sage of Six Paths.

Clearly, the Sage of Six Paths had anticipated Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection and laid out numerous countermeasures. Even Black Zetsu, who had been causing trouble in the ninja world for years, could not escape the Sage of Six Paths' notice.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths remained silent for a moment before speaking, "This is a test, Indra."

test?

Sasuke frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Is it about those extraterrestrials that Kaguya Otsutsuki was so wary of?"

"Ok!"

"I see. In your opinion, since those extraterrestrials could make Kaguya Otsutsuki so wary, then these guys must possess power, or even surpass Kaguya Otsutsuki's power. That's why you knew Kaguya Otsutsuki would be unsealed, but you didn't stop her. You wanted her to be a test. Only when the ninja world defeats her can it prove that the ninja world is qualified to face more dangerous and powerful enemies!"

At this moment, Sasuke finally had an answer regarding the Sage of Six Paths' inaction despite knowing that Kaguya Otsutsuki would be unsealed, which he had done in his previous life.

In his mind, the approaching Otsutsuki clan was more dangerous than Kaguya Otsutsuki.

If the new generation of ninja world guardians he chooses can't even get past Kaguya Otsutsuki, then they'll be even less likely to get past the one in the future.

The only difference is that the ninja world was destroyed a decade or so earlier, by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Of course, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't stand idly by and watch Kaguya Otsutsuki destroy the ninja world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed on his secret power at the last minute and planted a hidden device in the Gedo Mazo to ensure that the new generation of ninja world guardians could seal Kaguya Otsutsuki to the greatest extent possible.

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths did not deny it and nodded:

“You are very smart, Sasuke, smarter than all the previous Indra reincarnations.”

"Since those extraterrestrials may possess power even more terrifying than Kaguya's, then I should obtain the power of the Ten-Tails even more. Only in this way can I possibly fight against those extraterrestrials. If that's the case, why are you stopping me? Do you think I can't withstand the power of the Ten-Tails and become a beast that only knows destruction and slaughter?"

"Don't forget, you were also the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki back then, but you didn't lose your mind. What you can do, I can definitely do too!"

Sasuke spoke calmly, but with the same pride and confidence that Indra possessed!

The Sage of Six Paths slowly said, "Sasuke, you are like Indra. Although you have your own deep bonds, you always believe that only power can make everything possible. No matter how difficult things are, you choose to bear them alone and never believe in the power of others. Once..."

"Trust others?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke sneered, interrupting him. He stared directly at the Sage of Six Paths and said coldly, "You say I have never believed in the power of others, but when have you ever believed in me? Not a thousand years ago, and certainly not now, because in the end, the only person you have ever believed in is Ashura!"

Sasuke's words, "Use your own weapon against your own enemy," instantly left the Sage of Six Paths speechless.

"Sigh...you're right."

After a long while, the Sage of Six Paths sighed and said with a sigh:

"Perhaps it was because I entrusted everything to my younger brother Ashura in the past and failed to face my older brother Indra that the seeds of disaster were sown, leading to the two brothers fighting each other for thousands of years."

"So, old man, are you still going to stop me?"

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head: "I am a dead man, and I should not interfere in the affairs of the ninja world."

The implication is that they will not stop Sasuke from doing what he wants to do.

But Sasuke understood another layer of meaning from the Sage of Six Paths: the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't act personally, but could use others to do it.

So in the end, the Sage of Six Paths was still worried about him, fearing that he would become another Kaguya Otsutsuki!

As Sasuke pondered this, he heard the Sage of Six Paths continue speaking earnestly:

"Indra, I'll give you one last piece of advice: don't let power lead you astray."

After saying this, the Sage of Six Paths gave Sasuke a deep look before preparing to leave.

"and many more!"

Seeing that the Sage of Six Paths was about to leave, Sasuke quickly called him back.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Sasuke with some confusion, only to see Sasuke smile slightly and say:

"Old man, now that you're here, at least leave something behind before you go, okay?"

You've almost looted everything I left in the ninja world!

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths' lips twitched, and he said, "I came out in a hurry this time and didn't have time to bring anything with me."

"It's okay, I can go back and get it now, I can wait."

Sasuke responded without changing his expression.

Sasuke accepts anything offered, from the Six Paths Power to the Sage's Staff, the Swamp Spear, and even the complete Sage's Blade.

Even if it's the worst, half of the Sage's Blade and half of the Six Paths Power would be barely acceptable.

"I understand, I'll definitely bring it for you next time, Indra!"

After saying this, the Sage of Six Paths vanished without a trace, leaving only Sasuke with his mouth agape, still unable to finish his sentence.

This guy's always getting freebies!

Pooh!

Sasuke cursed inwardly, and as the Sage of Six Paths left, he returned to his research base.

Chapter 301 Yomijin, Toyoashihara, Takamagahara: The Evolutionary Path of the Rinne Sharingan!

Fortunately, we managed to fool them!

Sasuke breathed a long sigh of relief upon returning to his research base, and thought to himself, "I'm so glad I'm back."

He just gave it his all, perfectly portraying a rebellious teenager who was extremely dissatisfied with his father's favoritism, yet was also incredibly proud at heart.

I'm at the age where I'm supposed to be going through a rebellious phase.

Sasuke mentally scoffed, then picked up the Eye of the Underworld again and pressed it into the Ten-Tails' eye socket.

Because the size of the young Ten-Tails is similar to that of an adult, the size of its eye sockets is also similar to that of a human.

As soon as Sasuke brought it close to its eye socket, the Eye of the Underworld slowly, perfectly, and clearly merged into the Ten-Tails' eye socket like water.

During the merging process, the little Ten-Tails suddenly unleashed bursts of cold, domineering chakra. However, this chakra appeared extremely evil, filled with twisted, ferocious, insane, destructive, violent, bloodthirsty, plundering, and destroying chakra fluctuations!

It was as if the little ten-tailed fox in front of them was born to destroy and plunder.

Sasuke calmly watched the changes before him. The Ten-Tails' genes inherently carried a savage, primal beastly desire, and even if he covered its data with the Sage's Seal, he couldn't change that.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that as the Eye of the Underworld merged with it, the Ten-Tails became more and more alive and spiritual.

A few minutes later...

The little Ten-Tails finally fully merged with the Eye of the Underworld. After blinking, the little Ten-Tails looked in Sasuke's direction.

Under the gaze of the Ten-Tails, Sasuke's Sharingan between his eyebrows inexplicably opened slowly, and the two eyes, which were originally one pair, quietly stared at each other.

Sasuke felt very strange at this moment, because the little Ten-Tails had become his exclusive "vessel," which was equivalent to another body of his, sharing his vision and thoughts within a certain distance.

When the little ten-tailed fox looks at itself, it can also look at itself through its shared vision, and when it looks at the little ten-tailed fox, the little ten-tailed fox can also look at itself through its shared vision.

Besides sharing vision and mindset, Sasuke can draw chakra from the Ten-Tails to replenish himself, making him essentially a pseudo-Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

The reason it is called a pseudo-Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is that unless one integrates the entire body and power of the Ten-Tails into their body, like in the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, then they can be considered a true Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

He couldn't use the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, so he couldn't be considered a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Even if he could, Sasuke would never do it.

The fully evolved Ten-Tails is like a grown-up rooster, while its smaller Ten-Tails is just an egg, not even hatched.

Absorbing it now would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs—a losing proposition.

The best time to absorb nutrients is when you nurture them properly and wait for them to hatch and grow strong.

So how can we make it grow quickly?

Collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts?

Sasuke, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by a message from the Ten-Tails.

hungry!

I'm so hungry!

Unbearable hunger, like fire burning in the stomach, a hunger that seems to be etched deep into the genes!

Because of the shared thoughts, Sasuke also felt a bit hungry after receiving this message.

"Hungry? So what do you want to eat?"

Looking at the mini Ten-Tails in front of him, Sasuke's eyes flashed, and he took out some First Hokage cells and more than a dozen Sharingan from his storage scroll and took them towards the mini Ten-Tails.

As soon as the little ten-tailed fox got its hands on it, it couldn't wait to eat it. It was as if the First Hokage's cells and Sharingan were incredibly rare delicacies to it, and it would never let go of them once it got a bite.

That's not enough, far from enough!

Sasuke could clearly sense the information coming from the Ten-Tails' body: it needed more Yang Release energy and Yin Release energy!

Sasuke, without any hesitation, kept taking out new First Hokage cells and Sharingan to feed the Ten-Tails.

Twenty pairs.....

Thirty pairs...

Fifty pairs...

After feeding the Ten-Tails fifty pairs of Sharingan, and having used up eight or nine tenths of his own First Hokage cells, Sasuke frowned and stopped when he saw that the Ten-Tails still showed no sign of being full.
