From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

"In his eyes, only by truly passing this test of blood and fire, the duel with the heroic spirits of the past, and even more terrifying enemies, will the ninja world be qualified and capable of facing... the even greater catastrophe that will inevitably follow."

Sasuke did not specify what the "catastrophe" was, but Orochimaru could sense from his tone and context that it was a crisis far beyond the current Shinobi World War, one that could threaten the survival of the world.

“Even if this trial gets out of control halfway through, he still has the leeway to personally intervene,” Sasuke continued. “But as for the real guests who will inevitably follow after the trial, he may no longer be able to handle things so calmly.”

Sasuke was well aware of the Sage of Six Paths' considerations. In ancient times, even someone as powerful as his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was so afraid of the pressure from her own clan that she created the White Zetsu army at all costs, and eventually fell into paranoia and madness.

So, as a new "millennium" may arrive, the enemies that the Sage of Six Paths will face will likely pose an even greater threat.

Although the information Sasuke knew indicated that the upcoming Momoshiki and his group were not as strong as Kaguya Otsutsuki, at least not as strong as the first batch of Otsutsuki to arrive, the limited information led the Sage of Six Paths to make the most severe prediction.

Therefore, in the plan of this founder of the Ninja Clan, the current war, which was started by Madara Uchiha and even involved the entire ninja world including the mysterious Otsutsuki, was elevated to a cruel but necessary "tempering".

He wanted to force this world, which had grown under his wing for thousands of years, to learn to rely on its own strength before the real catastrophe struck, to struggle, unite, and transform in blood and fire, and to hone its resilience and sharpness to face any unknown threat.

"So, what role does Sasuke intend to play in this trial that he is presiding over?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke fell into a long silence. The night breeze drifted through the open laboratory window, bringing a cool, damp feeling and the faint chirping of insects in the distance.

Finally, he raised his eyes, his gaze calmly fixed on the deep night sky outside the window, and said softly:

"Since he so desires someone to be that savior... then let's go along with him for now."

That night, on the eaves of the tallest building in Otogakure.

Sasuke sat alone, leaning against the cold roof tiles, quietly gazing up at the bright moon in the sky.

The cool moonlight shone down, gilding his sharply defined profile with a silver edge and infusing his deep eyes with a cold glow.

After returning from the underworld and awakening the Rinnegan and Rinne Sharingan, Sasuke broke free from all mental shackles and, through deeper self-reflection, touched upon the root that had always been shrouded in mystery.

He discovered that he was not just a soul from another world who had simply "transmigrated" into the body of eight-year-old Uchiha Sasuke.

He has always been Uchiha Sasuke.

He is also Indra.

Or rather, he is half Indra.

In his previous life, he possessed a certain extremely special spiritual talent or soul talent.

However, on that ordinary Earth without chakra or supernatural powers, this talent was greatly suppressed and limited, manifesting only as an extraordinary perception—extreme sensitivity to the gaze of others, even when being watched through a camera, it would produce a vague sense of awareness.

That sudden death in the middle of the night was not simply the end.

When his soul unexpectedly arrived in this world, it resonated strongly with and was attracted to Indra's chakra, which had been wandering in the ninja world for thousands of years.

The two intertwined and merged under some inexplicable law, forming an existence composed of a soul from another world and Indra's chakra, which then entered the embryo of the soon-to-be-born Uchiha Sasuke, completing a true "reincarnation".

However, this memory from the previous life and complete self-awareness have been covered by the ignorance of the newborn body and the long silence of the Indra chakra, like a seed buried deep in the ground.

Until the night of the extermination of his clan, at the crossroads of his destiny, that barrier finally shattered—his "innate wisdom" awakened, and the memories and will of his two lifetimes were completely integrated, merging into who he is today.

The moonlight flowed silently.

Sasuke gazed at the moon that had once sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki and reflected the thousand-year struggle between Indra and Ashura, his eyes clear and bright.

The cause and effect between this land and me are more intertwined than I imagined...

A savior?

I'll reluctantly go along with you this time.

He exhaled softly, and the white mist quickly dissipated in the cold night air.
