Chapter 151

"This speed is way too slow!!"

"Why wait for another day? Since you're here, Six Paths Sage."

"Then just help me out right now—activate my Rinnegan for me!!"

Hashirama Senju believed the Six Paths Sage must have a way.

If he relied only on himself,

it would take far too long.

He couldn't wait that long!!

If there was a faster method, he would naturally choose the faster one!

88. Six Paths Sage: He actually tricked me out of my Six Paths power!!

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's request, the Six Paths Sage fell silent.

Doesn't this seem a bit off?

I came here to advise him not to be so extreme.

But now, as we speak…

How did I end up helping him enhance his bloodline and activate his Rinnegan?

Though he felt something was unreasonable,

the Six Paths Sage found not a single point to refute Hashirama Senju.

【Tobirama Senju: If my brother had half the wit of his other self, I wouldn't be worrying about him every day, suffering such headaches.】

【Madara Uchiha: …This Hashirama is far too cunning, scheming endlessly to get the Six Paths Sage to activate his Rinnegan and boost his power. Compared to him, my Hashirama is far simpler.】

【Raikage: But the First Hokage isn't wrong—if no surprises arise, his current strength is indeed the strongest in the ninja world. Yet when accounting for ancient survivors or that mysterious monk from before, he truly cannot handle such people.】

【Orochimaru: Damn it!!! Why don't I have any Kekkei Genkai? If I had one, I'd develop it better than any of them!!】

【Jiraiya: You snake!! Not having a Kekkei Genkai doesn't mean anything—look at Minato, isn't he outstanding and powerful? There are still many in the ninja world who are strong without any Kekkei Genkai.】

【Shikamaru: Hmph!! These people you mention have nearly reached the limits of their strength—they won't improve much further! But ninjas like the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, who tower above them, still have vast room for growth!! That's the advantage of a Kekkei Genkai!】

【Minato Namikaze: Hmm… Teacher Jiraiya, their desperate pursuit of Kekkei Genkai is understandable… My own strength has nearly reached its absolute limit; taking another step forward will be extremely difficult—there's no easy way!】

【Tsunade: According to current ninja world statistics, this is true—if one wishes to advance further, the importance of a Kekkei Genkai is self-evident; its existence raises a ninja's upper limit of power!!】

…

Inside the cave,

Black Zetsu saw the Six Paths Sage on the screen,

and his eyes flashed with deep hatred!!

If not for the Six Paths Sage,

Mother would never have been sealed away!!

What Black Zetsu hated most was that the Six Paths Sage,

for the sake of these mortals, chose to oppose his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

This left Black Zetsu utterly speechless!!

When Obito Uchiha saw the Six Paths Sage appear,

his expression grew tense.

If the Six Paths Sage is still alive,

doesn't that mean all his actions are known in full detail?

Won't this disrupt his future plans?

For his future plans,

if the enemy were ordinary,

Obito Uchiha wouldn't react strongly,

but if the enemy is the Six Paths Sage,

this is entirely different!!

Even if Obito Uchiha were supremely confident,

he could never be a match for the legendary Six Paths Sage!!!

Black Zetsu seemed to sense Obito's inner tension.

He patted Obito's shoulder and said.

"Obito, don't worry—Madara already anticipated all of this."

"He long ago guessed that the Six Paths Sage might still be watching this world…"

"But you can rest easy—his current state cannot allow him to appear endlessly…"

"He is no longer the version of himself at his peak… Each action drains his dwindling strength…"

"Otherwise, he would have intervened in this world directly long ago…"

"And you can rest assured—as long as you gather all nine Tailed Beasts, once you become the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, none of this will be a problem—you will become a Six Paths-level being!!"

Seeing Obito Uchiha's panicked, dazed expression,

Black Zetsu could only curse inwardly: fool!!

Obito Uchiha's temperament is simply too weak!!

If not for Madara Uchiha's departure,

this Moon Eye Plan would never have fallen to Obito to carry out!!

This guy is utterly useless,

his only standout trait being his Mangekyo Sharingan.

In Black Zetsu's eyes,

Itachi Uchiha was far more suited than Obito Uchiha to carry out this plan.

But Itachi's mind was too resolute,

not as easy to deceive as Obito.

……

"Do the math yourself…"

"Even if I move quickly, I still need at least ten years to fuse the bloodlines of both clans."

"By the time I awaken the Rinnegan, this world might already be in complete chaos."

"You are the legendary Sage of the Shinobi—can you bear to see these people below suffer?!! …"

As he spoke,

the Sage of Six Paths realized something was wrong.

Wasn't he here to comfort him?

How had it turned around like this?

And moreover,

the most terrifying thing was that the Sage of Six Paths felt Hashirama Senju's words were utterly reasonable!!

"Very well, since it's like this, I'll lend you a hand…"

"With the Rinnegan and my Six Paths power… you should be able to fully enter the Six Paths realm…"

"Then even if you're not a match for those ancient elders, they certainly won't be able to kill you!!"

Saying this,

the Sage of Six Paths summoned two strange-colored energy orbs in his hands,

one glowing golden yellow,

radiating a warm sensation.

The other dark purple,

exuding a chilling, deadly aura.

"These are Yin and Yang energies—when united, they become the Six Paths power…"

"'Yin Release' represents spiritual power, and 'Yin Release techniques' can create form from nothingness; 'Yang Release' represents physical power, and 'Yang Release techniques' can infuse form with life—united, they become Yin-Yang Release…"

"Today, I shall teach you these two powers… then you will immediately be able to fuse the bloodlines of both clans and awaken the Rinnegan…"

Looking at the Hashirama Senju before him,
