Chapter 803 The power of six paths, three stages!

Everyone looked at Muzuki and Boruto.

“How do you know?”

Boruto asked curiously.

He was a little curious how Muzuki knew such things.

Even if Muzuki had mind-reading, he shouldn’t have known, because he wasn’t thinking about Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki just now.

“Because you have the Ōtsutsuki’s ‘Karma’ on you.”

Muzuki grabbed Boruto’s right hand and pointed to the black diamond-shaped mark on Boruto’s right palm, saying.

After Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s guidance, Muzuki discovered that he already had the ability of “Karma”, but he just didn’t know about the existence of “Karma” and how to use it.

After learning how to use “Karma”, Muzuki could easily tell who had “Karma” on them and the degree of its thawing.

It’s just that he doesn’t know those Ōtsutsuki; otherwise, he should also be able to tell which Ōtsutsuki it is through “Karma”.

Because the essence of “Karma” is the Ōtsutsuki’s own body data.

This is also why Muzuki asked Boruto if he had come into contact with other Ōtsutsuki, and did not confirm it was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

The importance of body data is beyond doubt; under normal circumstances, Ōtsutsuki would not carelessly use “Karma”. They would only seek suitable people to engrave “Karma” when there was a need for reincarnation.

And Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s actions didn’t seem like he had a need for reincarnation.

If the Karma on Boruto was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s, then Ōtsutsuki Urashiki should have prioritized capturing Boruto.

“So this is called ‘Karma’.”

Boruto scratched his hair. This mark indeed appeared after the Momoshiki battle, and he had never been quite sure what it was.

However, since no problems had arisen, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

“What is this ‘Karma’ for? Do you have any information about it?”

Sasuke asked quickly.

When Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki froze time and engraved “Karma” on Boruto, Sasuke could actually see what Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki did to Boruto through his Rinnegan.

However, Sasuke didn’t know the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s “Karma” ability or its information, so he didn’t know exactly what Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki did.

“‘Karma’ is the body data of an Ōtsutsuki. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, people who have ‘Karma’ implanted are called ‘Vessels’. When ‘Karma’ is fully thawed, the Ōtsutsuki will revive in the ‘Vessel’, and the ‘Vessel’ itself will die.”

Muzuki explained simply.

“Ah?!”

Boruto was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki would secretly pull such a dirty trick.

So, him losing everything meant this.

“Revival, death…”

Sasuke’s expression became solemn.

“Where did you get this information?”

Sasuke continued to ask.

He had investigated Ōtsutsuki Kaguya for so long, yet he still didn’t know as much as Muzuki.

“Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.”

Muzuki replied.

Sasuke:???

Sasuke couldn’t help but look at Minato Namikaze with a puzzled expression. He remembered that two days ago, Minato Namikaze was still eagerly asking him how to deal with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

“Muzuki and the others weren’t here these past few days because they went to a parallel world, and Kaguya in that world just happened to revive.”

Minato Namikaze explained.

There was nothing he could do; he had only just received the information.

“Then, Grandpa Muzuki, do you have a way to remove ‘Karma’?”

Boruto asked anxiously.

From his perspective, “Karma” was equivalent to a sudden terminal illness.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Obito didn’t even have the mind to complain about Boruto’s address for Muzuki, and he also looked at Muzuki with a curious gaze.

“Not yet.”

Muzuki shook his head slightly. Currently, he had only just learned how to use Karma.

Moreover, whether Karma can be manually removed without affecting the vessel is also an unknown.

“I’ll interrogate Ōtsutsuki Kaguya later to see if she has a way.”

“You brought Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from another world to this world?”

Sasuke looked surprised.

He had thought that Muzuki had simply extracted some information during the sealing battle with Kaguya in another parallel world, but it turned out he hadn’t sealed her at all and had even brought her over.

“Yes, but Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is too dangerous, so I’ve confined her in a different dimension.”

Muzuki nodded.

Sasuke couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.

Although Muzuki’s actions were somewhat dangerous, the benefits brought were indeed great.

Having a living Ōtsutsuki to provide information was much more convenient than him searching everywhere.

“Can you show me ‘Kama’?”

Muzuki looked into Boruto’s Ninja tool pouch; he sensed the presence of spacetime power there.

“Of course.”

Boruto didn’t hesitate, handing the small turtle he kept in his Ninja tool pouch to Muzuki.

He felt that Muzuki was like another grandfather, and just looking at him made him feel very safe, so he trusted Muzuki greatly.

Muzuki took “Kama” and focused his perception on it.

Perhaps the technology within it was too advanced; apart from the aura of space-time, Muzuki didn’t perceive anything else particularly special.

“You shouldn’t train in taijutsu recently, and it’s best not to fight, as this will accelerate the thawing of ‘Karma’.”

Muzuki returned “Kama” to Boruto and then instructed him.

“I understand.”

Boruto sighed, revealing an extremely dejected expression.

He had been thinking of training hard to gain the strength to participate in battles, but now Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had ruined him.

“Don’t be discouraged, little brother Boruto. If you can’t train your body, then study Ninjutsu theory. Mastering more Ninjutsu can also increase your strength.”

Obito patted his shoulder, comforting him.

“And so far, there hasn’t been anything that has stumped Sensei Muzuki; everything will be fine in the end.”

Boruto’s impression of Obito improved slightly.

He upgraded from “rude guy” to “this guy can speak human language too.”

“The Fifth Hokage must have told you about Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, right?”

Sasuke temporarily put aside his worry for Boruto, looked at Muzuki, and brought up Ōtsutsuki Urashiki again.

How to deal with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was Sasuke’s main purpose for coming to the Hokage Building.

It was just that the information Muzuki threw out was too shocking, which was why Sasuke hadn’t brought up Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

“Yes, from now on, you can live in Konoha as before. When Ōtsutsuki Urashiki comes, I will deal with him.”

Muzuki said calmly.

Based on Sasuke’s panel and Minato Namikaze’s description, he could confirm that Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s strength was far inferior to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s.

He might be a Six Paths level floor tile, or perhaps somewhere between Senju Hashirama and Six Paths level. Muzuki would need to see him in person to determine his exact strength.

However, what was certain was that Ōtsutsuki Urashiki would definitely not be Muzuki’s opponent.

If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s strength is set as Six Paths level peak, and Six Paths Obito’s strength is set as Six Paths level early stage, then Muzuki, who has borrowed enough Tailed Beast Chakra, is Six Paths level late stage, and he is a top-tier existence among the late stage.

Defeating a Six Paths level floor tile existence is not difficult for Muzuki.

“That’s it?”

Sasuke asked.

If his strength hadn’t recovered, he would have wanted to spar with Muzuki.

What kind of strength could make Muzuki so calmly say such arrogant words?

“Sasuke, just rest assured. Sensei Muzuki’s strength is beyond your imagination.”

Seeing that Sasuke seemed to distrust Sensei Muzuki’s strength, Obito stepped forward and said.

“What the heck is ‘Sasuke’ again?”

Boruto complained on behalf of Sasuke.

“Because he’s older than little brother Naruto’s Sasuke.”

Obito answered honestly.

“If you don’t like it, I can also call you Great Sasuke.”

Sasuke: …

It would be impressive if the “him” from the other world hadn’t beaten Obito, his composure was almost on par with his own.

Due to Muzuki’s deeds and information, Sasuke chose to temporarily trust Muzuki’s judgment.

To prevent the “Karma” on Boruto from thawing faster, Sasuke canceled his afternoon training plan, changing it to Boruto playing alone in Konoha while Sasuke continued to investigate this era.

A small interlude occurred in the middle: when Boruto and Sasuke left the Hokage Building, Orochimaru approached them, wanting to understand the parallel world in detail.

“Don’t go near Boruto, or I won’t hold back.”

Sasuke warned Orochimaru.

He couldn’t be sure what kind of person Orochimaru was in this world and didn’t want to gamble on his character.

“It seems Sasuke-kun has a bit of a misunderstanding about me.”

Orochimaru wasn’t annoyed; he just showed a hint of regret.

He just wanted to know the history of the parallel world and verify his own conjectures.

Orochimaru was indeed interested in Boruto, who had “Karma,” but he wouldn’t do anything to Boruto.

Because Muzuki had more information about “Karma,” and even had a living Ōtsutsuki in his possession.

Continuing to follow Muzuki was clearly more promising than capturing Boruto.

The trip to the parallel world solidified Orochimaru’s path.

Seeing Sasuke’s extreme vigilance, Orochimaru didn’t insist and returned to his laboratory.

He had gained a lot from this trip and would need a considerable amount of time to fully digest it.

…

After Obito returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound, he immediately went home to look after his grandmother.

After chatting with his grandmother for a while, Obito went to Uchiha Fugaku’s house.

He and Shisui had agreed to visit Uchiha Itachi and little Sasuke together. Since Shisui had more free time, he went first.

When Obito arrived at Uchiha Fugaku’s house, Shisui was in the yard talking to Uchiha Itachi and little Sasuke.

Noticing Obito’s arrival, Shisui paused temporarily and greeted Obito.

“Brother Obito.”

Uchiha Itachi and little Sasuke also politely greeted Obito.

Obito responded while walking forward and pinching little Sasuke’s cheek.

“Mmm… Brother Obito, what are you doing?”

Due to Obito’s wicked hand, little Sasuke’s voice became muffled.

“Because you’re so cute, Sasuke.”

Obito chuckled and let go.

Little Sasuke’s counterpart didn’t give him face, so he had to make little Sasuke suffer a bit.

“Itachi, you agree, right?”

To make his actions more convincing, Obito pulled Uchiha Itachi into it.

“Mm.”

Uchiha Itachi subconsciously nodded in agreement. Little brothers are the cutest.

“Brother, why are you like this too?”

Little Sasuke’s cheeks were slightly red, and he kept pinching his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed.

“What were you two talking about just now?”

Obito asked curiously.

“Itachi’s studies. He’s planning to graduate early and enter middle school.”

Shisui replied.

Through his trip to the parallel world, Shisui had a deeper understanding of Uchiha Itachi’s existence.

To gain a good helper and for the future of the Uchiha Clan, Shisui decided to intensify Uchiha Itachi’s training to prevent Uchiha Itachi from being led astray by Uchiha Fugaku or others.

“Oh, right, now you have to graduate from middle school to become a Ninja.”

Obito had heard some news about the Ninja Academy reforms.

Now, if one didn’t graduate early, they would have to attend five years of elementary school and then four years of middle school before they could graduate and become a Ninja.

“But with Itachi’s level, he probably won’t learn much in middle school. Why not just pass the middle school graduation exam and directly become a Genin?”

Obito stroked his chin and said.

If Obito were to evaluate Itachi’s talent, it would be that he had the same demeanor as he and Shisui once did.

Itachi, at only seven years old, was not only stronger than a Genin, but some Chunin might not even be his match.

“At that time, he’ll just train directly with you or with me.”

Obito temporarily had no intention of becoming a squad-leading Jonin, believing that he still needed to study for a few more years to be better, but training one person was not a big problem.

After all, Uchiha Itachi was from the Uchiha Clan, and Obito had many things suitable for him.

“He will graduate directly from middle school, but he won’t train with us; instead, he will go to Ninja University to continue his studies.”

Shisui shook his head.

“Ninja University was completely built a few months ago and has already started admissions. Itachi is just in time.”

Shisui explained.

Shisui liked the school environment; he found it quite interesting when he was a student, but due to various reasons, he had to get stronger quickly, which was why he graduated early.

Uchiha Itachi was different; he didn’t have the need to get stronger quickly. Moreover, Ninja University was unlike the previous Ninja Academy; it was an unprecedented advanced educational institution.

Therefore, Shisui believed that Uchiha Itachi could fully enjoy university life.

“That’s pretty good too. I wish I could go back to school; it should be very interesting.”

Obito fantasized about campus life with Rin Nohara and felt it would be great.

…

Due to his severe injuries, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki didn’t think much when using Yomotsu Hirasaka; his only thought was to get away from the dangerous Konoha.

Then, he directly teleported from Konoha to the Land of Rivers.

To recover from his injuries, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki devoured all the Chakra he had collected in his red glow fishing rod.

Since he hadn’t collected enough Chakra when he came to the Ninja World, and had used a lot in battles, his injuries hadn’t fully recovered.

So Ōtsutsuki Urashiki thought about finding some powerful Ninja to collect Chakra, so he could go back to Konoha and reclaim his treasures.

However, the Ninja power in the Land of Rivers couldn’t compare to the Five Great Nations. Moreover, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had high standards and was too lazy to bother with ordinary Jonin. After wandering for a day, he didn’t gain any Chakra.

Just as Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was about to go somewhere else, he encountered a monk wearing a white haori.

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stopped, and the monk also stopped walking.

Both stood still, quietly looking at each other.
