Chapter 615: Mother, At Last She Arrives

"What is it?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Uchiha Ban both looked at Lian Ye, not understanding what his sudden, fragmentary remark meant.

But soon, they knew.

Pfft!

They saw Dai Tu, who was being controlled by Heijue behind Six Paths Ban, suddenly move!

It directly pierced Ban's heart from behind with its hand.

"Wrong, Ban!"

Heijue tilted its head and said.

"You are not a savior; this is not over yet."

Six Paths Ban widened his eyes in disbelief, shocked to discover that he could not move.

"Bastard!"

Uchiha Ban, who had been watching the drama, suddenly could not sit still; he immediately set off for the Battlefield, intending to stop Heijue.

Although he did not understand exactly what had happened, he was clear that Heijue must not advance further.

"Lian Ye, what on earth is going on?" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang asked, his face showing confusion.

Isn't Heijue allied with Six Paths Ban?

Then why is it suddenly attacking Ban now?

Combining Lian Ye's earlier actions, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang realized his good brother must know something…

"Heijue is actually not Ban's will; it has been using Ban to carry out its own plan,"

"Its own plan…"

Tuan Cang fell into thought, then quickly caught on.

"You mean Infinite Moon Reading?!"

"Exactly. Heijue uses Ban because it wants to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki through Infinite Moon Reading."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki?" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked bewildered, evidently never having heard that name.

"Kaguya is the mother of the Sage of Six Paths; a thousand years ago she was sealed on the moon by the Sage and his brother." Seeing Tuan Cang's puzzled expression, Lian Ye patiently explained, "Heijue is Kaguya's will, constantly seeking a way to revive her."

"So that's how it is."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang suddenly understood why his good brother had brought Ban to this world.

It turned out to be to let him witness the Infinite Moon Reading conspiracy firsthand…

"On what grounds do you claim you're different from Dai Tu?" Heijue said ominously, "Do you think you're someone who can use everything?"

"You consider yourself unique; don't you find that laughable?"

"Ban! You are actually in an illusory dream; it's a dream I painted for you."

"Heijue, what are you saying?!" Six Paths Ban looked confused, "I created you; you are my will!"

He did not understand why Heijue, as the embodiment of his own will, would suddenly choose to act against him.

And it also spouted a bunch of nonsensical words?

"Heijue, you…"

At this moment, Uchiha Ban arrived at the Battlefield, looked at his other self immobilized by Heijue, and said coldly.

Heijue's sudden betrayal was something none of them had anticipated.

"Although your appearance caused a slight deviation in the plan, it's fortunately not a serious flaw," Heijue said calmly, looking at the opposite Uchiha Ban, "No matter which of you becomes the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, I will have a chance to act…"

After all, both have always considered themselves the embodiment of their will.

In the narration of his counterpart from another timeline, the only one the entire Battlefield needed to fear was Chu Zi.

Fortunately, Chu Zi kept watching the drama and did not intervene to stop Ban from executing Infinite Moon Reading.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Uchiha Ban's voice was icy, "As our will, you commit betrayal."

It seems he needs to eliminate this suddenly treacherous will for his counterpart in this timeline.

"You're wrong; my will is Kaguya!"

"Kaguya?!" Sasuke Uchiha's face grew solemn, "The Sage of Six Paths once mentioned that name."

He spoke out what he knew.

Uchiha Ban heard this and his expression instantly turned grim.

So, it meant he had always been used as a pawn.

Ban subconsciously glanced at Lian Ye, who was watching the battle from afar, noting the smile on his face.

He understood instantly.

It turned out the kid had known everything all along, which is why he brought him to this timeline!

At that moment, the Divine Tree changed; it began absorbing the chakra of those hanging on it.

Aaaah—

Six Paths Ban let out a howl, as the Divine Tree's siphoned chakra poured continuously into his body.

He evidently could not bear such massive chakra; his body was expanding at a staggering rate.

"Stop him quickly!"

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately moved forward to stop Heijue.

But as soon as they stepped forward, they were enveloped by Ban's hair.

"Two moths flying into the flame, now also draining your chakra,"

Regarding their actions, Heijue merely thought they were overestimating themselves, having not grasped the situation at all.

"Bastard, you can't move." No matter how Naruto Uzumaki struggled, it was of no help.

He realized that if they kept trying to stop Heijue's actions, everyone's chakra would be drained, and then everyone would die.

Heijue seemed to see their worry and smiled, explaining.

"Don't worry, they won't die."

"Once, Kaguya Otsutsuki used Infinite Moon Reading on people, preserving them alive, in order to produce Kaguya's army!"

"Produce an army?" Sasuke Uchiha's face showed confusion: "What does that mean?!"

"Heh heh, you seem even dumber than Itachi," Heijue sneered. "Can ordinary humans be used for combat? Turn them into Bai Jue; those who fell under Infinite Moon Reading ultimately become Bai Jue!"

Madara Uchiha was stunned by the words.

He couldn't help recalling that Lian Ye had once said the same; back then he thought the kid only wanted to stop his plan.

So he fabricated an excuse, never expecting the kid wouldn't deceive him!

"Heijue, what are you saying?"

Six Paths Ban's body kept expanding, yet their consciousness had not vanished.

"Infinite Moon Reading is a technique the Uchiha created to bring permanent peace to the ninja world."

"What basis do you have for saying that?"

"The Sage of Six Paths recorded it on a Stone Tablet, and that's what was written on the tablet!"

Six Paths Ban spoke excitedly, still unwilling to believe they had been used.

"Ban, I've lived far longer than you, with plenty of time to locate the Stone Tablet left by Yu Yi and refine it."

"Infinite Moon Reading isn't a technique that brings people a peaceful dream; it's meant to gather everyone's chakra, making it immensely massive, thereby reviving Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

"I did that kind of thing…"

At this moment Six Paths Ban finally realized that all their efforts had merely been used by others.

"Just as you treated Dai Tu as a pawn, you yourself are merely a pawn."

As its words fell, Six Paths Ban's body instantly swelled, then immediately shrank rapidly.

Finally, that mass of flesh turned into Kaguya Otsutsuki!

"Mother, you have finally arrived!"

Heijue, hidden in the shadows, was moved to tears by the scene.

Then it will be able to bring this timeline's mother and rescue the mother sealed in its own timeline!
