Somewhere in the Shinobi world.
No.
That would not be an accurate definition, in a place between illusion and reality, between life and death, where life is extremely rare.
In the air, in this endless white space, a human figure sat, a black staff with a circle and six rings at the end lying on her lap, and behind her gently hovered nine Balls of the Search for Truth.
It was Hagoromo Ootsutsuki.
In the world of Shinobi, he is called the Sage of the Six Ways!
In silence.
A ripple flashed nearby, and a figure emerged from it and took a step in Hagoromo's direction.
This person has a certain external resemblance to the Sage of the Six Paths, but there were no concentric circles in his eyes, only a pure white pupil.
He was the younger brother of the Sage of the Six Paths, Hamura Ootsutsuki.
Hamura walked up to Hagoromo, looked at him, and slowly said, " This person is already trying to reach out his hands to Rinnegan, should we still stand quietly on the sidelines?»
Hagoromo slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Hamura, but said nothing.
Hamura's voice was heavy, "With the Rinnegan, perhaps he can gain your strength...Big brother, I understand that you prefer not to interfere and influence the flow of the world, but this person is different, he does not belong to this world...he, like his mother, came from heaven.»
Hagoromo slowly raised the wand and gently hit it with the underside down, ripples rolling across the ground, showing the world of Shinobi.
He looked at the world of Shinobi, and calmly said: "Should the outsider be banished? Although his presence has led to huge changes in the Shinobi world, but this is not necessarily a bad thing, he even became friends with Kurama, something that has rarely happened in the past...perhaps it is he who will bring true peace.»
"You're wrong, brother.»
Hamura frowned, " This may be just a mask and a temporary phenomenon, maybe he actually came to this world for the Shinju Chakra Fruit, if we continue to ignore it, sooner or later he will make a move and get it. Brother, you are too careless to ignore such a threat...this can lead to the death of the whole world!»
With that, Hamura turned and strode away.
Hagoromo frowned as he watched his brother leave and said, " Hamura, what are you going to do?»
"I'm going to stop him.»
Hamura replied sharply.
Hagoromo shook his head: "Fundamental changes are needed on the way to creating an ideal world...perhaps he is the key to this change. Brother, we are already dead and should not interfere in this world anymore.»
Hamura has a rather conservative personality, in the past, fearing the resurrection of Kaguya, he even left his descendants on the moon to be responsible for the protection. He prefers that the world of Shinobi move along a smooth and gradual path of development, without drastic and drastic changes.
In comparison to Hamura, Hagoromo, on the other hand, expects changes, which is why he almost never interfered with Black Zetsu, he came to the conclusion that this could be the incentive for future changes.
Anyway...
Until there are no drastic changes, the world of Shinobi will not find true peace and quiet.
"Big brother.»
Hamura turned around, frowning at Hagoromo, and said resolutely, " This is not the same as Black Zetsu, perhaps your thoughts are correct, but it is impossible to ignore such a big threat, I can no longer stand by!»
After saying that, Hamura abruptly spewed out a massive chakra stream, the surrounding space rippled, then the chakra stream disappeared into it.
When this chakra broke through the seal of the Sage of the Six Paths and was successfully sent out, Hamura's chakra immediately weakened greatly.
"Hamura, you...»
Hagoromo's expression changed abruptly.
Hamura looked at Hagoromo and said harshly, " Big brother, since you don't want to interfere in this world, I sent my chakra like Asura and Indra did in the past, it will stop this person! She wouldn't let him gain the power of the Six Paths!!»
Hagoromo frowned and raised his wand, but then lowered it and shook his head: "Let them.»
"Perhaps your behavior is also part of the change...»
...
The world of Shinobi.
Konoha.
Two shadows appeared nearby, slowly approaching the village.
"Ah, it's been a long time since I came back here.»
Tsunade looked at the greatly changed terrain and involuntarily sighed: "The closer to Konoha, the more unfamiliar the path seems.»
Shizune, who was walking behind Tsunade, lowered her head and thought.
Recently, Tsunade lost too much money and owed huge amounts of money everywhere, in addition, her ' maiden form' was revealed, which made it very difficult to evade creditors, as a result, under the pressure of circumstances, she was forced to make the decision to return to Konoha to take refuge here.
If Yeruashi had found out about this, oh probably wouldn't have been too surprised, Shizune sighed heavily as she thought about it, but then her eyes flashed with anticipation.
Shizune had heard that Yeruashi had already become the Fifth Hokage.
She of course always thought that Yeruashi might become a Hokage in the future, because almost no one is able to compare with such a beautiful shinobi as Yeruashi, just did not expect that it would happen so quickly...
Now Yeruashi should be only fifteen years old, but he already stands above all the Shinobi of Konoha.
Imagining Yeruashi in a Hokage robe and hat, Shizune involuntarily fell into a trance, risking tripping over any small stone on the road.
Pooh!
After taking a few steps, Shizune stumbled and bumped her head into Tsunade, but when she saw that the teacher was still standing motionless, she asked in amazement, " Senior Tsunade?»
As a student who had followed Tsunade for many years, Shizune immediately felt that Tsunade was in an extremely tense state.
Realizing this, Shizune immediately reacted by abruptly pulling out her kunai and bravely standing to the right of Tsunade, then looking at the situation ahead.
Looking ahead.
Shizune immediately froze in place.
In the clearing next to Konoha lay a giant red fox with nine tails spread out in different directions.
"Kyu, Kyu, Kyu, Kyu...Kyubyi?!»
Shizune's eyes popped out of her head, and she instantly understood why Tsunade was so tense.
What surprised her most, and made her drop her jaw, was that there were so many small children crawling over the tails of the Kyubi.
And on the back of the Kyubi....
There were several shinobi holding a huge comb in their hands and combing their red fur, and if you look closely, you can see how the Kyubi's paws twitched a little, as if conveying the pleasure they experienced.
