Chapter 132.1 : Fear?

In the expansive sky, preceding the golden list, a three-dimensional image materialized gradually.

The figure within this image possessed a sickly, pallid complexion, two horns protruding from his head, brown hair, and was garbed in a white coat. Adorning the front of his chest were six black hook jade patterns, a red swirl mark embellished the back, and at the bottom, a nine-square grid organized the hook jade—three in each row.

Yet, the most captivating features were undoubtedly the pair of purple eyes of reincarnation and the eye-like mark on his forehead.

Observing him left most individuals utterly stupefied.

Unless one were exceedingly obtuse, discerning the identity of this person was not a challenging task.

Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

Whether it be his pallid skin and horns reminiscent of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya or the samsara eyes unique to the legendary Sage of Six Paths, all aspects attested to his identity.

No one could have fathomed that he would make an appearance on the list.

Wasn't he supposed to be deceased?

"Could it be that even the dead can find a place on the list?" Uchiha Madara pondered, wearing an unpleasant expression.

If indeed the deceased could occupy a spot on the list, it would be another blatant slap in the face for him.

Yet, asserting that the Sage of Six Paths still lived was more unsettling than the prospect of the departed featuring on the list.

—An extended lifespan, perhaps?

Truly otherworldly!

"The Art of Summoning!"

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo gestured, and the stereoscopic image rippled. Subsequently, an orange-hued creature with yellow eyes emerged, adorned with a string of Buddhist beads around its neck and a lavender opal inscribed with the word "oil" at its center—a colossal toad sporting a doctor's hat.

The image transformed into a streak of light, soaring onto the Summoning Beast list.

[Fifth place: Gamamaru (Mount Myōboku's Sage, a toad that has lived from the Kaguya era to the present, revered as the "Great Toad Sage." Possessing highly accurate predictive abilities and formidable Sage Jutsu within its corporeal form, it occupies a throne with the word "Oil" inscribed. In its youth, it shared a life-and-death bond with the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Hamura, engaging in a protracted conflict during the century war against Ōtsutsuki Kaguya for several months. The ensuing rivalry triggered a clash between the brothers due to Indra's dissatisfaction.]

Blood Pact: Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo (Sage of Six Paths)

The cadence of this informational cascade left everyone, still reeling from the surprise of the Sage of Six Paths' inclusion, utterly astounded.

[ Jiraiya: Gamamaru… is the Great Toad Sage?! ]

[Fukasaku: I don't even know about the name. "]

[ Uchiha Madara: Is this the time to struggle with this? This toad actually lived for a thousand years and has the ability to predict the future? ]

[Jiraiya: The Great Toad Sage does have the ability to predict the future, but it can only vaguely see some key information.]

[Third Raikage Ai: I thought it was enough for me and Iwagakure to fight tens of thousands of ninjas for three days and three nights, but they actually fought for several months.]

[Orochimaru: How can it be called the battle of the century otherwise?]

[Orochimaru: I don't care about these. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya will live forever and never die. I'm not surprised that some unknown existences are Sage or even Sage. What I care about is the rhythm of its performance, which is actually the same as that of Sage of Six Paths brothers battle Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?]

[Senju Tobirama: You are very observant. What I am concerned about is that this toad actually got involved in the matter of the heir of Ninja Sect, and also caused Indra and Ashura to kill each other. It is interesting.]

[Shimura Danzo: I smell the same kind of smell.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, you bastard, how dare you come out.]

[Shimura Danzo: Hiruzen , everyone is dead, you can't let me continue to blame me, I am bad, now I admit it, not ashamed for myself!]

[Namikaze Minato: You two really shut up and dive deep, otherwise I don't mind paying the price to ask the Fifth Hokage to resurrect you and kill you with my own hands!]

Namikaze Minato is a rare domineering one.

Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen shut up immediately.

They are not afraid of being resurrected by Namikaze Minato and then killed again, giving a happy moment, but they are afraid that after being resurrected, they will enjoy the treatment of life rather than death.

For example, Tobirama. It's really possible for him to do this kind of thing!

Or wait a little longer, some hatred can be diluted, and they are rhyming.

Until then, it is better to reduce the presence as much as possible.

[Uchiha Ran: Sage of Six Paths and Hamura vs. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Sage of Six Paths son Ashura and Indra clash, and now Jiraiya is looking for the fate of the child to save the world, this Great Toad Sage is really too well, so for the peace of the ninja world, consider for us ninjas.]

[Senju Hashirama: Yin and Yang are strange, I would like to call you the strongest.]

[Uchiha Madara: I didn't expect you to see through him.]

[Jiraiya: This…]

[Ōtsutsuki Hamura: @ Uchiha Ran, junior, do you think Nissan and I have been deceived?]

[Uchiha Ran: It is not easy to be deceived, but as far as I know, there are definitely some ways to take advantage of it.]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: Advantage ? Could it be that the mother's deeds of destruction back then really had a hidden meaning?]

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: It turns out that you two sons were bewitched by this toad. I thought this toad was your little brother, so I didn't doubt it.]

[Tobirama: The amount of information revealed by this conversation is huge!]

[Gamamaru: Fifth Hokage, do you think that everything this old man does is for himself?]

[Uchiha Ran: Not so much, but certainly not for humans, right?]

[Gamamaru: "This Sage dedicates himself to the Ninja world!"]

[White Snake Sage: "The most amusing joke I've heard in years—I burst out laughing!"]

[Sage Katsuyu: "Gamamaru, you're still as shameless as ever."]

[Orochimaru: "The two above are the White Snake Sage and the Katsuyu Sage, and things seem to be getting really interesting."]

[Gamamaru: "White Snake Sage, Katsuyu, isn't everything this Sage does for the sake of this world?"]

[Uchiha Ran: "There's no doubt about that. After all, the Ōtsutsuki clan sees this world as the nourishment for cultivating the Chakra fruit, absorbing natural energy without restraint. Sealing Kaguya is indeed a good deed for this world and its inhabitants."]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: "Did Mother come to this world for the purpose of cultivating the chakra fruit?"]

[Uchiha Ran: "Exactly."]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: "Cultivating the chakra fruit... Does it require killing?"]

[Uchiha Ran: "No, it doesn't."]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: "Then why did your mother do it in the first place?"]

[Uchiha Ran: "Because of fear!"]

[Ōtsutsuki Hamura: "Fear?"]

[Orochimaru: "Is an existence like the ancestor of chakra still afraid?"]
