Chapter 782: The True Sage

“Young man who guides the Tailed Beasts, you seem to know me?”

“I have a bit of understanding.”

In a vast, white space, two men in white robes sat cross-legged facing each other.

“Although you say you know me, to avoid any cognitive errors, I will introduce myself. My name is Hagoromo, and people in the Ninja World generally call me the Six Paths Sage.”

“My name is Muzuki, and people in the Ninja World generally call me Leader Muzuki.”

“Leader, huh? It seems you have done something similar to what I did,” the Six Paths Sage guessed.

“It is indeed somewhat similar. I created a new Shinobi Sect and used it to connect the Ninja World, though the specific methods were not quite the same as yours,” Muzuki nodded and said.

“I would love to understand the specific process, but I am afraid there is no time for that.”

As he spoke, the Six Paths Sage looked down.

Below the two was a water mirror, showing a scene where Uchiha Madara absorbed the Ten-Tails, ascended to immortality, and became another Ten-Tails Jinchuriki after Six Paths Obito.

“After all, this is not a simple matter, and it is indeed impossible to explain it clearly in a short time,” Muzuki said, looking around.

He was basically certain that he had arrived at the legendary “Pure Land.”

Of course, he was not dead; perhaps some of his traits were similar to the Six Paths Sage, ultimately leading to this result.

However, Muzuki was not panicked; he could feel that the restraints here were not strong. If he wanted to, he could erupt with power at any time to leave and return to the real world.

The reason he didn’t leave immediately was, firstly, the battlefield was still within a controllable range, and secondly, he wanted to learn something from the Six Paths Sage.

After all, the Six Paths Sage was an old geezer from a thousand years ago; opportunities to fleece him were rare.

“I have a presumptuous request. Please help this world and seal my mother, who is about to be resurrected, once again,” the Six Paths Sage said.

Currently, only his soul and Chakra remained, and his intervention in the real world was limited.

It would be best to get help from Muzuki, a powerful Ninja from a parallel world.

Mainly, Muzuki had been recognized by the nine Tailed Beasts.

In the eyes of the Six Paths Sage, Muzuki might be a savior from another world, and his character was guaranteed.

“Ōtsutsuki Kaguya? That is possible, but you must tell me how you sealed her, as well as the means you used to divide the Ten-Tails,” Muzuki replied.

“It seems you know even more than I imagined, Muzuki. It is fine to tell you these things, but I cannot guarantee that you will be able to perform them as I did,” the Six Paths Sage thought for a moment and said.

He could see that Muzuki had a lot of substance, but compared to himself when he was alive, he was still lacking a bit.

“Please, by all means, tell me,” Muzuki said.

Most of his abilities came from system rewards; only in Sealing Technique did Muzuki truly have extraordinary talent.

Even Kushina, who had received a good education in Sealing Technique from a young age, was not as good as him in learning it.

Coupled with the fact that he combined the knowledge rewarded by the system with his own Sealing Technique, his Sealing Technique had long surpassed all the ancestors of Sealing Technique in the history of the Uzumaki Clan.

Next, the Six Paths Sage narrated, and Muzuki asked questions occasionally.

Now, the Six Paths Sage had no doubts about whether Muzuki could use his methods. With the abilities Muzuki displayed, even if he couldn’t do it now, he would be able to after some time.

Time passed continuously. When the Six Paths Sage stopped, Uchiha Madara in the water mirror was defeated and began to absorb the God Tree.

“The timing is just right. It is time to go; it is not good for a living person to stay here for too long. This is my Yin-Yang power; please pass it on to Naruto and Sasuke. They are the reincarnations of my children and can help you seal Kaguya.”

The Six Paths Sage extended his palms; one palm had a black moon, and the other had a white sun.

“I will, but before leaving, I want to go nearby to get something,” Muzuki said.

He realized that this so-called “Pure Land” might be a “spiritual space” on the level of the Ninja World.

After all, Muzuki had entered spiritual spaces, and he found that both had some of the same characteristics.

However, Muzuki only temporarily named this unknown space a spiritual space because of some identical characteristics; it did not mean that this space was consistent with the spiritual space of real-world Ninjas or Tailed Beasts.

After all, being able to let a living person like him exist physically meant this space was by no means as simple as an ordinary spiritual space.

It was just unclear whether this “spiritual space” originally existed or if someone had done something to it.

Under Muzuki’s investigation, he found that the “spiritual space” was very large, divided into several places from deep to shallow.

The place Muzuki wanted to go was called the Yellow Springs in the real world, which could be considered the shallow area of this spiritual space.

“You don’t understand this place yet. Rashly using powerful force might have some negative effects. Let me get it for you.”

The Six Paths Sage reached out, and a blood-red eye fell onto his palm.

Before he met Muzuki, he had begun to carefully observe every parallel-world Ninja.

Therefore, he guessed that Muzuki wanted to help Shisui get the sealed eye of “Shisui” and help the other party open the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

As for why Muzuki knew about Shisui’s eye, it was a very simple matter.

Shisui’s Chakra was consistent with “Shisui’s”.

Muzuki was, after all, an existence close to him, and having reached the “Pure Land,” perceiving his disciple’s eye was perfectly normal.

“Thank you for the trouble. Goodbye,” Muzuki took the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Yin-Yang power, thanked the Six Paths Sage, stood up, and prepared to leave.

“That is exactly what I want to say to you. Thank you for the trouble. Goodbye.”

The Six Paths Sage stood up to see Muzuki off.

It was very strange; although he did not communicate much with Muzuki, he thought highly of him.

Compared to his two sons, Muzuki was more like his heir.

It was a pity that he didn’t have much Chakra left; apart from the Yin-Yang power necessary to seal Kaguya, he had no extra energy to give Muzuki Chakra.

“With his current power, he doesn’t need my Chakra anyway.”

The Six Paths Sage smiled, sat down, and looked at the water mirror. In the picture, Uchiha Madara was laughing wildly because he had gained a new life, intending to seize the last half of the Nine-Tailed to initiate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Whoosh!

Muzuki condensed a lightning blade carrying the Six Paths Sage power, slashed out a strike, cut off the arm Uchiha Madara reached out, and flashed towards Uchiha Madara.

“Six Paths power? Where did this guy pop out from?” seeing the golden light on Muzuki, Uchiha Madara frowned.

“Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!” Uchiha Madara condensed Chakra in his throat and spat out a laser.

“Sukuna Hikona!” Muzuki didn’t dodge or evade, opened his black eye, and scanned indifferently. To Uchiha Madara’s surprise, the laser disappeared inexplicably.

Because Muzuki’s performance was too weird, Uchiha Madara flew back, trying to distance himself.

“Yomotsu Hirasaka!” Muzuki condensed Chakra, opened a black portal in front of him, and reached his hand towards the portal.

This was the space-time Ninjutsu he mastered after mastering the Kekkei Mora.

It had a certain effect at specific times, and it was quite suitable for bullying the weak.

Splat!

Uchiha Madara looked at the palm on his chest in astonishment. Muzuki’s palm had reached out from behind him for some reason!

Uchiha Madara’s scalp felt numb. Had the Six Paths Sage come back from the dead? Where did this monster come from?

“It should be the One-Tails and the Eight-Tails.”

Muzuki activated perception, found the One-Tails and Eight-Tails among the nine Tailed Beasts, and extracted a portion of the Tailed Beast Chakra from these two.

Although he could extract more, Muzuki was worried that if he extracted too much power, Uchiha Madara wouldn’t be able to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Muzuki had questions to ask Kaguya; those questions could only be answered by Kaguya in the Ninja World, things that even the Six Paths Sage absolutely did not know.

After extracting the Tailed Beast Chakra, Muzuki ignored Uchiha Madara, flashed to Naruto’s side, placed his right hand on Naruto, and transferred the Tailed Beast Chakra together with the Yang power to Naruto.

Although being ignored made Uchiha Madara a little annoyed, he still took the opportunity to fly rapidly into the high altitude, distancing himself from Muzuki.

Muzuki’s abilities were too weird. The last two moves almost stunned him; he was injured without even understanding what was happening.

“Big jerk, you’re scared, right? This is the omnipotent Sage Muzuki!” Obito said with his chest puffed out.

He reckoned that the Six Paths Sage was also a Ninja who didn’t live up to his name, otherwise how could Uchiha Madara, who claimed to be equal to the Six Paths Sage, be beaten down by Muzuki in two moves.

“You dare to be so arrogant when you have no Chakra left.”

Muzuki pointed a burst of Qi at Obito’s forehead, and took the opportunity to inject a little of his Chakra into the exhausted Obito and Kakashi.

“Hehe.”

Obito scratched his head and chuckled. He was bullied by Uchiha Madara when Muzuki wasn’t there, and he had to bully him back hard now that Muzuki was here.

Then Muzuki walked towards Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at Muzuki with suspicion using his Mangekyo Sharingan.

“There is still a little bit of Naruto’s Chakra in your body; it’s just enough.”

Muzuki transferred the Yin power to Sasuke.

Sasuke being able to awaken the Rinnegan in the original work was not entirely due to the power of the Six Paths Sage; it was also because Kabuto had transferred Hashirama cells to him.

To obtain the Rinnegan, one must be an Indra Chakra reincarnate and transplant the Chakra or cells of an Ashura Chakra reincarnate; an Uchiha who is not Indra’s reincarnation can never evolve the Sharingan into a Rinnegan.

Even if Indra’s Chakra reincarnation obtained Ashura’s Chakra, it was very difficult to open the Rinnegan, and it would be a long process.

And the Yin power could shorten this process.

Naruto was also an Ashura Chakra reincarnation, so Sasuke, who had combined with Naruto, didn’t need to transplant Hashirama cells anymore; he only needed the Yin power to open the Rinnegan just like in the original work.

“What did you do?”

Sasuke only felt a powerful force pouring into his body, and then his left eye produced a wonderful feeling.

Muzuki did not explain too much to Sasuke, walked to Shisui, and took out the Mangekyo Sharingan.

“This is the other eye of ‘me’?” Shisui looked at Muzuki unexpectedly.

According to Itachi’s information, his other eye should be with Danzo Shimura. Could it be that the place Muzuki traveled to was Konoha?

“Well, don’t move, I’ll handle it for you.”

Muzuki said, and quickly helped Shisui change his eye.

Under the protection of Muzuki’s Chakra, Shisui did not feel any discomfort.

Finally, Muzuki walked in front of Six Paths Obito.

The Ninja he respected the most walked in front of him, but Six Paths Obito closed the only remaining Mangekyo Sharingan, not daring to look at Muzuki.

It was as if the golden-red light emanating from Muzuki would melt him entirely.

Muzuki reached out to Six Paths Obito, used the Yin-Yang Release technique to create an eyeball for his empty eye socket, and at the same time healed Six Paths Obito’s dying body.

As for Black Zetsu, the moment Muzuki appeared, he separated from Six Paths Obito’s body and burrowed into the ground.

Because Kaguya’s appearance still required Black Zetsu to be the pusher, Muzuki would not kill Black Zetsu for the time being, so he didn’t care.

“Muzuki-tea…”

Looking at Muzuki with the newborn eyeball, the touched Six Paths Obito subconsciously wanted to call Muzuki teacher, but stopped in time.

How could he, who had done such things, be qualified to be Muzuki’s disciple.

“If our world also had a ‘Teacher Muzuki’, it would probably be much better than it is now.”

Looking at Muzuki helping Six Paths Obito fill in his eyes, Kakashi sighed softly, his expression extremely complicated.

Although he had not seen memories like Six Paths Obito, he had heard a lot about Muzuki from Naruto, and from parallel-world Ninjas like Might Guy and Obito.

A good teacher was really important.

“So he is the Teacher Muzuki that Obito mentioned. He is indeed extraordinary. Such power has already surpassed Madara.”

Senju Tobirama watched Muzuki complete various unbelievable things with a wave of his hand, as if he saw the real Six Paths Sage.

“Very powerful. Although there are factors of intelligence, Madara had almost no power to fight back when facing him just now.”

Senju Hashirama nodded and said.

“Could he be my twin brother from another world?”

Minato Namikaze showed a thoughtful expression.

“It is possible.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, looking at Muzuki.

“Big Brother Muzuki!”

Naruto, who was nourished by both the Tailed Beast Chakra and the Yang power, quickly returned to full health. Seeing Muzuki, he ran to Muzuki excitedly.

“Big Brother Muzuki, did you save me? It seems like there is an extra special power in my body.”

Naruto asked.

“It can be considered everyone’s effort. That power was given to you by the Six Paths Sage, and you will use it in the next battle.”

Muzuki explained a little, then looked at the sky.

Probably feeling that Muzuki’s methods were too weird, Uchiha Madara gave up the half of the Nine-Tailed and the Tailed Beast Chakra snatched by Muzuki, and flew directly next to the moon to perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

“Flying so high, what does Madara want to do? Is it that illusion called Infinite Tsukuyomi?”

Senju Tobirama, who had been paying close attention to Uchiha Madara, was the second person to discover the abnormality besides Muzuki.

“That’s right, so those who don’t want to sleep, don’t run around later. I will set up a barrier. The Ninjas inside the barrier and the reanimated Ninjas will not be affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.”

Muzuki explained.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After saying that, Muzuki threw out seven black rods transformed from Truth-Seeking Orbs.

“Heavenly Barrier!”

As Muzuki stimulated his Chakra, golden-red Chakra surged on the black rods, forming a golden-red energy shield to cover Muzuki and the others.

The next moment, the blood moon in the sky emitted dazzling white light. Except for the Ninjas in Muzuki’s barrier, all people and animals in the Ninja World fell asleep. Thus, the two conditions for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s resurrection were all met.
