Chapter 304: Meeting the Sage of the Six Paths
In the Pure World.
A place between life and death, where only beings of the level of the Six Paths can reside freely.
Here a black crack appeared and out of it came Yeruashi, but not in the form of chakra or a pure soul, but in a body of flesh and blood.
This is one of Rinne Tenseigan's abilities, which ignores the line between life and death, thanks to which Yeruashi can freely enter the world of the dead with the body of the living.
Tap, tap, tap.
Yeruashi moved forward calmly.
With each step, ripples spread out from his feet, as if he was on the surface of the water.
After a while, two figures appeared in front of Yeruashi.
They wore the white robes of the Six Ways.
One of them had white pupils like those of the Hyuga Clan, while the other had circles in his eyes.
The sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!
And his younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki!
"Can you enter here with a living body? Is this the ability of your Dojutsu?", The Sage of the Six Paths looked at Yeruashi as he approached and said calmly.
Yeruashi looked at Hamura, who was standing next to Hagoromo.
Hamura's expression was a bit uncomfortable, and there was some nervousness deep in his eyes, as the pressure exerted by Yeruashi at this moment was extremely strong.
Not only Hamura, but even Hagoromo felt some pressure in front of Yeruashi. In his prime, as the Jinchuriki of the Jubi, the Sage of the Six Paths also possessed a strength almost at the third stage of the Six Paths level, and was no weaker than the current Yeruashi.
But now.
After separating the Jubi, he has a power approximately at the level of Madara at the Six Paths level, which is a big gap compared to the current Yeruashi.
"This is our first meeting."
"No, it's better to say the first conversation."
Yeruashi looked away from Hamura and spoke to the Sage of the Six Paths, "I, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi, have come to talk to you about.... Urashiki Otsutsuki, do you have any information about his whereabouts?"
Yeruashi had no desire to search for Urashiki all over the Shinobi world, after all, Urashiki could also use Yomotsu Hirasaka.
If Urashiki decides to hide in another space, it will be very difficult to find him.
So meeting the Sage of the Six Paths was the best choice.
"Greetings."
"You should already know that my name is Hagoromo," The Sage of the Six Paths looked at Yeruashi, "I am also looking for the person beyond the sky, but so far it was in vain."
Although he can see all corners of the Shinobi world from here, it will not be a wide view of the whole world, but only a glimpse of the selected area.
Originally, the Sage of the Six Paths had been watching Yeruashi almost all the time.
But after receiving the Rinne Tenseigan, the power of Yeruashi's Dojutsu overcame Hagoromo's Rinnegan and was able to obstruct his observation without much trouble, so now the Sage of the Six Paths cannot observe what is going on around Yeruashi.
Yeruashi really doesn't like to be observed all the time.
After missing the chance to see Yeruashi, Hagoromo turned his gaze to the whole shinobi world.
Urashiki's arrival did not go unnoticed by Hagoromo, but after defeating Orochimaru and destroying the base, he used Yomotsu Hirasaka and disappeared without a trace.
So far, the Sage of the Six Paths has been unable to find any trace.
"No information about his whereabouts?", Yeruashi said thoughtfully, "I think there is no need to talk about Urashiki's threat, I need your help to find him as soon as possible."
"I will try to find him as soon as possible and will contact you immediately if any information comes up," The Sage of the Six Paths nodded.
In fact, he would have done so without Yeruashi's reminder.
Although Yeruashi and the Otsutsuki Clan do not belong to this world, they are clearly not on the same side.
Looking at what has happened in the ninja world in recent years, it is safe to say that Yeruashi does not want to harm this world and will most likely fight with the Otsutsuki Clan to protect it.
Hearing the words of the Sage of the Six Paths, Yeruashi nodded and looked at Homura again, then smiled slightly, "Ah, I would like to sincerely thank big brother for his concern, without his help, I wouldn't have been able to get stronger so quickly."
The expression of the Sage of the Six Paths tensed slightly.
Hamura's face also tensed considerably, he stared at Yeruashi and said, "I didn't trust you as a person out of this world, so I offended you a little in the past..."
Yeruashi shook his head, "Giving the Six Paths Chakra to your descendant to assassinate me is nothing like a 'little insult'".
The Sage of the Six Paths sighed, "I don't approve of Hamura's actions, but it was all for the sake of protecting the ninja world. I could have stopped my brother, but I decided to stay away, so it's my fault. If you still want to deal with this problem, then let me take the blame."
"..."
Yeruashi stared at Hamura and Hagoromo, the atmosphere immediately became quite tense, and it seemed that the temperature in the surroundings dropped a few degrees.
After a few seconds, Yeruashi sighed and turned to Hamura, "I am willing to turn a blind eye to what has happened, but you must break the connection to the Six Paths chakra sent, now this chakra is inherited by your descendant, I am I will not capture it."
"Okay," The Sage of the Six Paths nodded immediately, before Hamura could even open his mouth.
Given the current state, in case of a collision with Yeruashi, they would definitely be in a very difficult situation, moreover, Hagoromo did not want to enter into a conflict, because in his opinion, even if Yeruashi could not change the order of things and create a real peace, there should be no problem establishing peace for decades or even centuries.
"I wouldn't mind a part of your chakra either...", Yeruashi looked at the Sage of the Six Paths.
...
Before long.
Yeruashi returned to the shinobi world.
Two chakra bundles hovered above his palm, one white and the other black. The white one is the Yang Power of the Six Paths, and the black one is the Yin Power of the Six Paths.
According to the anime, the Sage of the Six Paths gave this chakra to Naruto and Sasuke. Although the chakra is divided into Yin and Yang, each of these parts is still a Six Paths level chakra.
This chakra is not very important to the current Yeruashi. It will have no effect on his strength, but it is different with other Shinobi.
After receiving this chakra, Kakashi will be able to immediately move to the Six Paths level.
"One part is for Kakashi, and the other...", Yeruashi fell into a reverie.
There aren't many people qualified to become carriers of this chakra. Kurenai and Rin won't be able to do this unless they develop the Sage Body to the extreme.
But now they do not show much interest in training. Compared to developing a Sage Body, they would rather spend time looking for a way to squeeze it out.
As for the others...
If Uchiha Itachi diligently develops the Sage Body, then with his talent, in about ten years, he will develop it to a pretty decent level and, in combination with the Mangekyou Sharingan, will be able to withstand the power of the Six Paths.
Naruto and Sasuke will also be qualified to withstand the power of the Six Paths, after merging with the Asura and Indra chakras.
Hinata, who inherited Hamura's chakra, should also have this qualification in the future.
"I leave it to Hinata.", Yeruashi thought for a moment and made a decision.
Naruto and Sasuke were immediately excluded due to a too distant relationship with him, leaving only his students, Hinata and Itachi. Although Hinata is far inferior to Itachi in terms of talent, but as the heir to Hamura chakra, she is a more suitable candidate.
Good.
All of the above reasons are bullshit.
The real reason was that Hinata was prettier, and that was enough for Yeruashi.
