Chapter 57: The Six Paths Sage's Ultimate Treasure!
Hello everyone, my name is Uchiha Itachi, a rogue ninja from Konoha.
I'm here to reveal an important piece of information concerning a crisis that threatens the entire ninja world!
Please read the following carefully!
Legend has it that a thousand years ago, as the Sage of Six Paths lay on his deathbed, he said to his two sons:
"Do you want my ultimate treasure?"
"If you do, then go find it!"
"I've hidden it somewhere in the ninja world!"
"Whoever finds it can become the god of the ninja world!"
"It will grant any wish you desire!"
This revelation, when accidentally leaked, shook the entire world. People everywhere set out to search for the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure!
Thus, the world entered the Great Ninja Era!
From that point on, wars broke out across the ninja world and raged for centuries.
Then one day, a boy from the Senju Clan and a boy from the Uchiha Clan stumbled upon this legendary treasure by sheer chance.
They gained supreme power from it.
Those two boys would later become known as the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, and the Demon of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara!
With the immense power they gained from the treasure, they dominated the entire ninja world, rendering all other clans powerless.
Why were Hashirama and Madara so extraordinarily powerful when everyone else had the same physical limitations?
The answer lies in the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure, which granted them unparalleled strength!
Later, under the leadership of Hashirama and Madara, the warring ninja world finally set aside their grievances. Peace was restored, hatred was abandoned, and they united to establish the first ninja village: Konoha!
Thus, the era of ninja villages began.
But now, the Senju Clan has fallen into decline, and the Uchiha Clan was wiped out not long ago.
So where did the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure, once claimed by Hashirama and Madara, ultimately end up?
The answer lies in these two questions:
Why was the Uchiha Clan annihilated?
Why did the Senju Clan end up in their current state?
By now, I'm sure you've figured it out!
That's right!
After the Uchiha and Senju Clans were destroyed, the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure naturally fell into the hands of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his allies!
As the last Uchiha privy to this secret, I have been targeted as an enemy ever since I became a rogue ninja.
Konoha's Root division has repeatedly sent assassins to silence me, ensuring that this secret never sees the light of day!
Konoha has pushed me to the brink, leaving no room to survive!
Thus, I am making this information public for all to see!
Heaven and earth bear witness: every word I've said is true. If there's any falsehood, may lightning strike me down and curse my entire family!

"Whoa!"
The release of this message swept through the entire world like a category-12 tornado in just three days, leaving everyone trembling with excitement.
The Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure, the God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama, the Demon of the Ninja World Uchiha Madara…
Every element in this story touched on topics that people often debated and fantasized about.
When all these factors came together, they ignited an explosive reaction.
The conclusion was clear:
Whoever obtains the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure will rule the world!
You will be the next god of the ninja world!
Just like Hashirama and Madara, you will become invincible, end the Warring States Era, and reshape the ninja world!
Everyone longed to become figures like Hashirama and Madara.
At first, many dismissed this as a hoax.
However, as more rumors circulated, skepticism turned into belief.
One particular rumor analyzed the situation in depth:
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, his actions have been suspicious. There's reason to believe he was scheming to acquire the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure even before his ascent to power.
For example:
Why was Tobirama Senju, who wielded the Flying Thunder God technique, so easily ambushed and killed during a visit to the Hidden Cloud Village?
Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his allies deliberately leaked information to the Hidden Cloud to eliminate Tobirama and make it easier to seize the treasure?
Why did Hiruzen, after becoming Hokage, allow the Uzumaki Clan (relatives of the Senju Clan) to fall, resulting in their nation's destruction?
Could this have been part of a plot to weaken the Senju Clan's power?
Looking at the current state of the Senju Clan, it's hard not to suspect that Hiruzen Sarutobi's true motive was to eliminate the Senju Clan entirely to pave the way for obtaining the ultimate treasure.
Then there's the recent extermination of the Uchiha Clan!
The Uzumaki Clan, the Senju Clan, and the Uchiha Clan were the pillars of Konoha's strength. Who in their right mind would destroy their own foundations?
Either someone's brain dead, or there was a deeper conspiracy at play!
These clues point to one conclusion:
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his allies wiped out these clans to gain control of the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure!
This suggests that Hiruzen and his cohorts were willing to betray and kill their own comrades without hesitation.
Do you really believe they would use the treasure for peace, as Hashirama once did?
This analysis, filled with logical reasoning and solid evidence, convinced many who read it.
Otherwise, how else could one explain the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan, the decline of the Senju Clan, and the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan?
All signs pointed to one thing: the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure.
Only something as legendary as this could drive Hiruzen Sarutobi and his allies to such extreme lengths!

At this moment, countless individuals who had pieced together the clues all turned their greedy gazes toward Konoha.
The Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure!
If I obtain it, I'll become the next Hashirama Senju!
I'll rewrite the history of the ninja world myself!
With this thought, many resolved to risk everything, even if it meant braving the dragon's lair of Konoha.
What if they succeeded?
The number of people with this ambition was beyond counting.
From a high vantage point, one could see countless "ants" converging toward a single direction—Konoha.

The world's attention was now on Konoha.
You are the center of the universe!
Hehehe…
The stage for vengeance is set.
Now, entertain me to your fullest!
