Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"This Yin power is yours."

He then looked at Hashirama, "Hashirama, you are the reincarnation of Ashura, possessing the purest Yang Release life force."

"I'm giving you this Yang power. Gather the Yin and Yang power together and use 'Six Paths: Earth Explosion Star.' This is the only way to seal my mother and stop the Ten-Tails from going berserk."

Madara stared at the mark representing the power of Yin for a long time before finally reaching out his hand.

"Hmph, don't misunderstand."

Ban's voice remained cold and hard, but the madness in his eyes had faded. "I accepted this power not to obey your orders."

"I just want to go back and kill that Black Zetsu who dared to make a fool of me! And that arrogant brat!"

Hashirama also reached out and grasped the Sage of Six Paths' right hand.

With the infusion of the two forces, the souls of the two began to emit a dazzling light.

"The Sage of Six Paths".

Just before leaving this space, Hashirama suddenly turned around and looked at the old man floating in mid-air.

“Sasuke…” His eyes were filled with complex emotions. “He wants to break the existing order and establish a unified world.”

"Although his methods were radical, his original intention was to eliminate conflict."

“That road…” Hashirama asked earnestly, “is it really the wrong one?”

The Sage of Six Paths was taken aback.

He looked at Hashirama and recalled his earlier debate with Sasuke.

After a long while, he slowly shook his head, a bitter smile on his face.

"I don't know. The Ninja Clan I established failed, and the Ninja Village system you established also failed to bring true peace."

"Perhaps, as that boy said, the world needs a radical change."

Whether it is right or wrong can only be judged by the future.

The figure of the Sage of Six Paths began to become illusory.

"But in any case, Mother must never appear again."

No sooner had they finished speaking than the Pure Land shone brightly, instantly enveloping their souls and sending them rushing out of the gray Pure Land, plummeting rapidly towards the mortal world.

Chapter 253 Six Paths Hashirama & Ten-Tails Jinchuriki

The ninja world, a battlefield ravaged by war.

Black Zetsu lay lurking underground, only half of his head showing, staring intently at the two severed remains not far away.

That's Madara Uchiha's corpse.

"What a piece of trash..."

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, his face filled with rage.

"I went to great lengths to refine your rudimentary plan and bring you back to life, and you just lost to a brat like that?!"

"Uchiha Madara, you dare call yourself an Asura?"

His original plan was so perfect.

By exploiting Madara's ambition and Obito's despair, they were ultimately guided to gather the tailed beasts and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

All he needs to do is deliver a fatal blow at the last moment, just when Madara thinks he is about to become a god, to bring the great mother back to this world.

But now, it's all over.

Madara died, Obito died, and all the pawns were overturned by that boy named Uchiha Sasuke.

Black Zetsu's gaze slowly moved, finally landing on the silver-haired boy standing in front of the Gedo Mazo.

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

Black Zetsu's voice became somewhat hoarse, "This brat is far more terrifying than the Sage of Six Paths back then."

"It's not just about strength..."

"Without a special stimulus, or some kind of event that could shake his soul..."

Black Zetsu's heart sank. "I'm afraid Mother's consciousness will never be able to awaken within him."

He knew very well that Sasuke's will was too strong, strong enough to suppress the Ten-Tails's berserk instincts.

If he becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, then his mother's resurrection might truly become a pipe dream.

"Damn it, what should I do...?"

Just as Black Zetsu was racking his brains for a solution, the Gedo Mazo roared to the sky, and the chakra of the nine tailed beasts fused together within its body.

The Ten-Tails is about to revive.

Sasuke stood before the golem's enormous head, his long silver hair fluttering in the wind.

He raised his head and looked calmly at the golem that had come to life.

"Has it finally come to this...?"

Sasuke murmured softly, raising his hands to form a hand seal.

That was the ultimate seal he naturally learned after acquiring the Rinnegan.

"Six Paths and Ten Tail Coffin Seals".

A burst of white chakra light erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the enormous Gedo Mazo.

The golem's enormous body, which was originally hundreds of meters tall, began to shrink rapidly at a visible speed under the white light.

The enormous object was forcibly condensed into a mass of "flesh" and poured into Sasuke's body from his palm.

The moment the fleshy ball entered Sasuke's body, a terrifying shockwave erupted in all directions.

The earth cracked open instantly, and countless fragments of rock were swept into the air and turned into dust.

The clouds in the sky were torn open, creating a huge hole. The shockwave was so strong that even Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were hundreds of meters away, felt suffocated.

"What...what kind of power is this?!"

Dou pushed up his glasses and clung tightly to a huge rock beside him, barely managing to avoid being blown away by the blast wave.

"So this is... the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki...?"

Orochimaru's long hair was whipped about by the strong wind, and his snake-like eyes were filled with fanaticism and shock.

"This sense of oppression felt like the whole world was pressing down on him!"

At the eye of the storm, Sasuke's figure was slowly rising into the air.

His pure white divine robes transformed into a long robe in the style of a divine imperial robe.

Nine jet-black Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him, and he held a black tin staff made of Yin-Yang Release in his hand.

The symbol at one end is the moon, and the symbol at the other end is the sun.

Her long, silvery-white hair now seemed even more dazzling, as if moonlight were flowing across it even under the blazing sun.

At that moment, simply by standing there, he became the center of the world.

"..."

Yoruichi, who had been watching from a distance, suddenly trembled.

"That is......"

Her voice trembled, and she subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

"What's wrong, Miss Yoruichi?"

Orochimaru, who was standing nearby, noticed her unusual behavior and asked with some confusion, "Are you frightened by this power?"

"Do not......"

Yoruichi shook her head, her gaze fixed on Sasuke, her expression turning serious.

Did you see that just now?

"What do you see?" Kabuto asked, puzzled.

"Just now, I saw a woman's face on Sasuke's face," Yoruichi said in a low voice.

"A woman's face?"

Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"We didn't see anything," Kabuto answered truthfully. "Could it be that the blast wave was too strong and you were seeing things?"

"No, it's impossible."

Yoruichi dismissed the guess. With her strength, even in such a chaotic environment, she could not possibly be wrong.

That fleeting moment, though brief, was deeply etched into her mind.

It was an extremely beautiful woman's face, with long silver-white hair like Sasuke's, and skin so white it was almost transparent.

She has two small horns on her head, pure white eyes, and a scarlet nine-tomoe Rinnegan in the center of her forehead.

That face, though beautiful, was cold and expressionless.

The feeling was like facing some kind of "god" who was above all living beings.

"White hair, white eyes, horns..."

Yoruichi murmured these characteristics, and the history of the ninja world that she had seen in Ryuchi Cave involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Could it be..." Her face turned deathly pale instantly, "...that woman the old snake was talking about?"

The goddess sealed in the moon?

The legendary progenitor of chakra?

Kaguya Otsutsuki?

"What are you talking about?" Kabuto looked at Yoruichi's ugly face and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Yoruichi did not answer, but slowly shook her head, her gaze returning to Sasuke.
