Chapter 113

Shaking his head, the Great Toad Sage's expression fell a few shades.

【Jiraiya:???... I didn't hear wrong, did I... the Sage of Six Paths is still alive??】

【Orochimaru: Things are getting more and more interesting... the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki—if he really is still living in this world, that would be absolutely insane!!】

【Kushina Uzumaki: Speaking of which, when I was in the Pure Land, I seemed to see an old man... his appearance looked a lot like the Sage of Six Paths from the legends... but I couldn't be sure whether I was seeing things, my consciousness wasn't even that clear back then...】

【Fourth Raikage: That can't be possible, right? Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't have lived until now, could he?】

【Naruto Uzumaki: The Sage of Six Paths... isn't that just a fairy tale from the legends???】

【Shikamaru Nara: The Sage of Six Paths—the deity from legend who founded ninjutsu and ended the chaos of the ancient era, the one who gave us ninjutsu in the first place... a being from the age of myth actually isn't fake??】

【Minato Namikaze:... This might be true. Even if the Sage of Six Paths is dead, he might still be influencing this world in some bizarre way. When I was inside the Shinigami's belly, I could clearly sense him being wary of a certain existence in the Pure Land...】

【Jiraiya: Speaking of which... I think I've actually seen the legendary Rinnegan before... if that pair of eyes was real, then the Sage of Six Paths' existence is probably real too.】

【Great Toad Sage: Little Jiraiya: You don't need to doubt it... the Sage of Six Paths did indeed exist. He was even once Myōboku Mountain's most trusted ally... I thought he was dead, but thinking about it now...】

【Madara Uchiha: So what if it's the Sage of Six Paths?! Even if he's alive, he's nothing more than a failure who's clung to life until now!! Just give me time, and I will definitely surpass the Sage of Six Paths!!】

【Tobirama Senju:... Uchiha Madara, beat big brother's Wood Release first before you talk.】

【Ōnoki: Do all the Uchiha clan members have something wrong with their heads? I always thought the Hidden Cloud Village people were manic enough, but compared to them, they're practically gentle!!】

Hashirama Senju and the three Great Sages discussed,

and they ultimately discovered,

that old schemer the Sage of Six Paths might really be hiding somewhere unknown.

Moreover,

besides him,

there were other unknown existences in the shinobi world secretly hiding behind the scenes!!

The three Great Sages now had a slight understanding of why Hashirama Senju was so eager to raise his own strength.

74. The whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword—head to the Fire Temple to retrieve it!!

In a hidden mountain cave,

Obito Uchiha looked at the content playing on the screen.

A look of astonishment also appeared on his face!!!

The Sage of Six Paths is actually still alive??

Although he didn't know whether this was true or false,

judging from the way the Great Toad Sage and the others were discussing,

there was a high chance this was true.

Obito Uchiha immediately felt that things were slipping beyond his control.

He had thought he himself was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes,

but he hadn't expected...

that a deity from the ancient era might still exist in this era?!!

And Black Zetsu standing behind him wore an indifferent expression,

for the Sage of Six Paths might have been silently observing the shinobi world all along,

and regarding this matter,

Black Zetsu had long known.

As Mother's child,

and carrying the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan,

how could he have died so easily,

even if he truly had died,

there must surely be some other way for him to continue existing in this world!!!

Black Zetsu was not surprised by this at all!!

In any case, he himself was the true mastermind behind the scenes,

he knew of the Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo Otsutsuki's existence,

but the other party did not know that Mother had given birth to him before being sealed!!

The entire shinobi world,

including the Sage of Six Paths, was nothing more than a chess piece in his hand!!

Black Zetsu greatly enjoyed playing the role of mastermind behind the scenes,

it gave him a feeling of being above everyone else!!

"Obito... don't overthink it..."

"Even if the Sage of Six Paths is alive, he definitely can't directly interfere with this world's affairs..."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be the Five Great Nations ruling this world right now."

"Just follow Lord Madara's plan... and you too can become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki."

"When that time comes, you will be the new Sage of Six Paths!! You will be this world's savior!!"

Black Zetsu's words calmed Obito down.

That's right...

he was the one destined to become the savior, "470"

once he became the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki,

he could carry out the Moon's Eye Plan!!!

Even if the Sage of Six Paths was truly still alive,

He definitely had no way to deal with him either??

As for Madara Uchiha...

Obito Uchiha had never intended to resurrect Madara Uchiha,

only he himself could become the savior of the new world!!!

Seeing the fighting spirit reignite on Obito's face,

Black Zetsu, in an angle he could not see,

revealed a strange smile known to no one!!!

Obito Uchiha thought himself the winner,

and Madara Uchiha's plan,

Black Zetsu also knew it perfectly clearly.

Neither of them knew that they themselves were the true mastermind behind the scenes,

Black Zetsu was very curious,

when the two of them learned their true identities,

what their expressions would look like??!

Nagato of the Whirling Tides touched his own Rinnegan.

He hadn't expected that the Sage of Six Paths was actually still alive,

even he found this news startling.

The reason he himself was feared by others,

the reason he himself was called a 'god' by others,

was all because of these Sage's Eyes of his!!!

"Even if it's the Sage of Six Paths... he cannot stop my plan..."

Nagato gazed at the distant, empty sky,

muttering to himself.

The Sage of Six Paths had once brought a brief peace,

but this peace had not lasted for too long.

The current world,

was even more chaotic and broken!!!

This showed that his path was a wrong path!!
