Chapter 374: Can I Defeat Uehara Naraku With the Power You Sold to Me?
fIn the dark spiritual world.
A large ripple appeared as the water droplets fell.
Naruto slowly got up from the water and stroked his chest in shock. He raised his head in disbelief and said, “Didn’t I die?”
“What makes thee think that thou art dead?”
An old man holding a staff and floating above the Truth-Seeking Ball slowly opened his mouth and muttered, “Thine ethical viewpoint on death differs much from that which prevailed in my time. To so easily replace oneself with the term “death”. Thou must gain mettle, oh fledgling..”
“Who are you…”
” ‘Tis quite a precise query for this place, but I am quite uneasy over whether thou shalt be able to connect my name with my action as a herald…”
After saying that, the old man slowly turned around and revealed his true face, “I am he who shall achieve peace and order. My name is Hagoromo!”
“…”
Naruto fell silent.
Just as the old man was about to speak, Naruto suddenly realized something and said in a low voice, “Wait, before that fellow Uehara killed me, he said that I would meet him… Are you… Sage of the Six Paths?”
After he finished speaking, Naruto stared at the old man in front of him, and his forehead gradually became nervous, “Rinnegan… The legendary Sage Eyes… It looks like… you are really the Sage of the Six Paths?”
“It’s great that thou know mine name.”
Hagoromo slowly nodded his head. His Rinnegan slowly tightened. “That Uehara did guess that thee would see me… I didn’t expect that in this era, there would be a ninja as stout as us.”
“That guy, huh…”
Naruto slowly nodded. He recalled the various performances he had encountered with Uehara and said in a low voice, “He is indeed very strong!”
“He is very much an elusive person!”
Hagoromo made a ripple on the water surface with the stick in his hand, and a squinting and smiling figure appeared on the water surface, which was Uehara Naraku.
Hagoromo frowned and said in a low voice, “This little guy can defeat me with his own strength and even find mine own traces… It’s very much hard to imagine.”
Hagoromo muttered to himself, “Why doest Uehara want to see me? Doest he wants to ask about Juubi and Infinite Tsukuyomi? Or doest he wants to challenge someone stronger? It shouldn’t be…”
This was a very confusing question.
After thinking about it, Hagoromo could only temporarily classify the idea of Uehara wanting to see him into the idea of wanting to get Infinite Tsukuyomi.
After all, Uehara seemed to want to take the initiative to fall into Infinite Tsukuyomi.
“Ah, what?”
Naruto scratched the back of his head and frowned, “Anyway, Uehara has always been very strong. Before, I thought I could catch up with him, but now it seems that the gap is getting bigger and bigger…”
“Indeed.”
Hagoromo looked at Naruto and calmly said, “But Uehara is too conceited. No matter how strong he is, he can’t defeat that person…”
After saying that, Hagoromo looked at the silent Naruto and slowly tapped the surface of the water with the staff in his hand. A woman’s face appeared on the surface of the water.
“My mother, ?tsutsuki Kaguya.”
Hagoromo looked up at Naruto and slowly began to tell a very long story. “My mother, Kaguya, came to this land of yours from a faraway place…”
This story is a bit bizarre.
A woman who came from far away ate the chakra fruit in order to quell the war and after gaining powerful power, she ignited the endless greed in her heart and wanted to rule this world. In the end, she was sealed by her son.
“Mother hast a powerful chakra and an immortal body; it is absolutely impossible for Uehara to defeat her. She has already transcended everything in this world,
Even I can only seal her…”
After Hagoromo slowly finished speaking, he looked up at Naruto and continued in a deep voice, “No matter how strong that Uehara is, it is impossible for him to defeat mother’s power… Because the Progenitor of Chakra of this world is mother.”
“Huh?”
Naruto could not help but scratch his head. He looked up at Hagoromo and asked, “If even Uehara can’t win, then this world…”
“I can only rely on thee guys…”
A trace of worry flashed across Hagoromo’s face, and there was even a bit of seriousness in his eyes, “If mother absorbs the chakra in Uehara’s body, maybe she can become stronger.”
“To tell the truth…”
Naruto slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to catch up to Uehara’s strength even if I tried my best. If he couldn’t defeat the Progenitor of Chakra, even if I fight with my life on the line, I…”
“Don’t worry.”
Hagoromo slowly tapped the surface of the water with the staff in his hand. A man with a kind smile appeared on his face. He calmly said, “You have my son Ashura’s Chakra; it looks like that little fellow Uehara hast also discovered ’tis matter…”
“…”
Naruto fell into silence.
On the other side of the spiritual world.
The other Hagoromo clone had just finished communicating with Sasuke. He had also finished telling Kaguya’s story
This Hagoromo’s clone looked at Sasuke in front of him and fell into deep thought because Sasuke seemed to have already discovered Indra’s Chakra in his body.
Sasuke did not care about all this.
Sasuke casually looked at Hagoromo, and his eyes became more and more indifferent, “You said so much just now, just want to tell me that the origin of my power is from Indra, right?”
Sasuke curled his lips in disdain and said, “There is no chakra reincarnation in Uehara’s body, right? It seems that this chakra is clearly obstructing me from becoming stronger!”
“…”
Hagoromo shook his head and calmly said, “That’s because the real power within thee is never been guided out.”
“Oh?”
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and asked, “If the power in my body is guided out, can I defeat Uehara?”
“Power is not the main condition to defeat the foe.”
Hagoromo slowly stretched out his palm and calmly said, “Only firm and unyielding will and understanding the love of others…”
“…”
Sasuke was a little speechless.
Was this Sage of the Six Paths serious?
Could it be that if he couldn’t defeat him with power, he could still use love to influence him?
That bastard Uehara was simply doing all sorts of good and bad deeds. Sasuke really wanted to let this Sage of the Six Paths go out and see if he could convince that Uehara!
Hagoromo flipped his palm again and looked at Sasuke who couldn’t get along with Uehara. He could not help but say, “Moreover, Uehara is not a foe thee need to deal with. He won’t be of much use in this final battle…”
“…”
Sasuke could not help but raise his head. He looked at Hagoromo and suddenly smiled, “Sage of the Six Paths, are you sure that Uehara will fall into the Infinite Tsukuyomi?”
Hagoromo nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, “Only those with the Rinnegan can avoid the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Uehara doest not hast mine own bloodline in his body. No matter how strong he is, he may not be able to escape the infinite Tsukuyomi”
After he finished speaking, Hagoromo suddenly looked at Sasuke and said in a deep voice, “Perhaps thee can consider saving him when the Infinite Tsukuyomi comes. This way, when mother arrives in this world, he wilt be an additional fighting force…”
“Hehe…”
The corners of Sasuke’s mouth revealed a mocking smile. He whispered, “If I save him, what if that fellow, Uehara, deceived us again after defeating Kaguya? He has many precedents!”
Hagoromo, “…”
He really hadn’t thought about this question.
But that shouldn’t be possible, right? After everyone has gone through the crisis of world destruction together, can they still fight each other?
This Indra’s Chakra Reincarnation still has no love in his heart…
Hagoromo slowly raised his head and looked at Sasuke. He calmly said, “Then what doth thee want to doth?”
After a moment of silence, Sasuke suddenly raised his head and said, “First, tell us how to deal with ?tsutsuki Kaguya!”
“… Okay.”
Hagoromo looked at Sasuke and slowly nodded. He calmly said, “Stretch out your dominant hand. This time, I will not ignore my eldest son. I am also entrusting my power to you, Indra’s reincarnation.”
“… Yes.”
Sasuke stretched out his left hand.
In the next moment, Hagoromo placed his palm on his hand, and a huge statue loomed behind him!
The mark of a crescent moon landed on Sasuke’s palm.
That was the Yin Power seal that Sage of the Six Paths had given him.
In another spiritual space.
Naruto slowly extended his right hand. He had obtained the Yang Power seal and the Six Path Senjutsu from Sage of the Six Paths.
“Although I feel that my strength is enough to change everything…”
Naruto could not help but frown. He looked at the white sun symbol on his palm and then looked at Hagoromo, “But I feel that Uehara seems to be even stronger than me!”
“Hehe…”
Hagoromo chuckled and spoke as usual, “Sometimes, if thee want to solve the dispute between people, as long as thee can understand each other…”
“…”
Naruto was silent for a while.
A moment later, Naruto slowly nodded his head.
“En, that makes sense!”
After Naruto finished speaking, he frowned again, “But I really can’t understand what Uehara is thinking!”
