The appearance of the Sage of Six Paths was born of absolute necessity. Someone was about to set a monstrous fire in his home, and this arsonist didn't look easy to provoke!
The black flame dragon in the sky was truly astonishing in its presence. The weather of the entire Land of Rain had already been affected, and it was still absorbing natural energy and growing in size…
A ninjutsu of this level—its physical attack would be in no way inferior to the Six Paths: Planetary Devastation that he had used to seal his mother back then…
"Visitor from another world…" Hagoromo Otsutsuki leaned on his khakkhara staff, looking at Itachi Uchiha in the sky from afar. "This old man has not seen a ninja as powerful as you in a very long time…"
The figure in the Hokage's robe waved his hand, and the Yin Fire Heavenly Dragon swooped down, coiling around and trapping the Akatsuki's Itachi Uchiha!
After trapping the enemy, the Fifth Hokage gently flapped his wings and landed beside the Sage of Six Paths, asking with some confusion, "The Sage of Six Paths ancestor of our world once said that even a thousand years ago, when the Rabbit Goddess, the progenitor of chakra, was alive, she probably wouldn't have been stronger than me…"
The Sage of Six Paths: "…"
Is this guy even speaking human language?!
Can't you respect your ancestor? Can we have a proper chat?!
If he weren't just a chakra soul right now, he would definitely teach this young man how to behave. In over a thousand years, he had never seen someone so…
So matter-of-fact!
The Rabbit Goddess's eldest son didn't speak, but her youngest son, Black Zetsu, bravely spoke up for his mother's honor. "Nonsense! Mother is the most powerful existence! She is the god who stands at the pinnacle of this world! You are nothing but the descendant of this traitor…"
"…"
The Sage of Six Paths listened for a moment, then suddenly slapped Black Zetsu. The ultimate Yin-Yang Release chakra burst forth from his palm, completely sealing Black Zetsu away!
You little brother, you still dare to act up here…
Hagoromo Otsutsuki really couldn't do much about the visitor from another world, but he was very skilled at dealing with a local will incarnate…
After dealing with Black Zetsu, the Sage of Six Paths turned his head and continued with a smile, "A true ninja will always maintain a humble heart…"
"Thank you for your teachings."
The Fifth Hokage nodded and continued in a deep voice, "I am well aware that there must be an existence in the ninja world stronger than me, still spying on this world, yet I cannot detect it…"
"And that enemy has also taken the form of Zetsu, lurking and disrupting the peace of the ninja world. Even I cannot defeat it…"
"The ancestor of our world had never seen that enemy named Zetsu. It seems you should know some intelligence about it… If you could share this intelligence, I will, on behalf of our world, offer you our gratitude."
The S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha, Yin-Yang, also known as Zetsu.
He just didn't know whose will incarnate the Zetsu who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique was… If he could get intelligence on it here, that would be for the best!
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression was a little awkward. "…"
He had just said that casually! How did he actually hit a bombshell! Could it be that besides Black Zetsu, there was another enemy lurking in the shadows in this world?
What the hell is going on!
If his guess was not wrong, the two ninja worlds were similar to a large extent, with perhaps some minor differences, so…
That enemy who had taken the form of Zetsu must exist…
The problem was, an existence that even this Six Paths-level Itachi Uchiha before him could not defeat—how should he guide this world's Asura and Indra chakra reincarnates to beat that guy?!
At this moment, Hagoromo was getting a bit of a headache. He kind of wanted to lay down his burden and say, "every generation has its own blessings"…
"That enemy has probably not yet appeared, but I can share some intelligence about it…" The Itachi Uchiha under the Hokage's robe said softly, "Its chakra is very abundant, and it is skilled in space-time ninjutsu. Its taijutsu is stronger than Sasuke's…"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki glanced at the Sasuke on the ground. "…"
The chakra reincarnate of my eldest son, Indra. This generation, did that chakra lose its sight? Why did it have to reincarnate into Sasuke!
If he had known earlier, in those few years, he should have found a way to manually kill that guy Madara, and let that chakra reincarnate into Sasuke's older brother…
"Not him, the Sasuke of the other world."
Itachi Uchiha shook his head and explained seriously, "Sasuke is also my little brother in the other world. He is equally skilled in taijutsu and space-time ninjutsu, and can single-handedly face a Six Paths-level enemy with the Eight Gates…"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki glanced at the Sasuke on the ground again. "…"
They're both someone's little brother, so how come you're still just a little brother!
Listen to the other family's little brother, fighting Six Paths with taijutsu! Look at your own here, a teenager, and still Orochimaru's subordinate…
Forget it, he's my own kid, what's the point of being picky…
The biggest problem now was that the Sage of Six Paths had no idea what other enemies there were. The Black Zetsu he had just casually sealed was something he had only just discovered…
If he were to say he didn't know, he wasn't sure if this Itachi in the Hokage robe would burn this ninja world to the ground.
If you don't have an answer, you have to create an answer.
"This old man only discovered traces of its appearance by chance…" The Sage of Six Paths looked at the young man before him, sighed, and continued, "But it has remained hidden for a thousand years, and I have gradually been unable to track its traces. Moreover, this old man is unwilling to interfere in this matter…"
"It has been alive for a thousand years?"
Itachi Uchiha's eyes suddenly narrowed. Then, as if he had thought of something, he let out a soft sigh. "It seems that Advisor Danzo Shimura has been questioned quite a bit over the years because of it!"
In the entire ninja world, anyone who could be connected to the Flying Thunder God user Zetsu had been thoroughly investigated. Yet only Danzo Shimura's story was unclear… because there was a large amount of evidence indicating that he had been colluding with that rogue ninja.
Kisame Hoshigaki had walked over at some point. Hearing this, he replied casually, "Does it matter? In any case, that guy Danzo is the great strategist Tobirama's disciple, and also Fugaku-senpai's political rival. You don't have to think to know he's definitely no good…"
"…"
The Fifth Hokage couldn't be bothered with the shark-faced man. He looked at the Sage of Six Paths and continued, "Facts have proven that Zetsu has been dormant for a thousand years without showing itself. The matter it is plotting must be enough to destroy the entire ninja world, and will surely surpass the Kaguya Otsutsuki of the past…"
"This old man thinks so too."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki nodded with a grave expression and said directly, "How are you dealing with this problem?"
A smile flashed across Itachi's face. "Because I have a Great Sage Crow that has grown up with me since I was a child. Its strength is an even match for Zetsu. And Kitahara is extremely skilled in space-time ninjutsu. It usually travels the ninja world and tracks Zetsu's whereabouts along the way…"
Of course, there was no need to mention that the crow tracked for ten minutes and slept for ten hours…
Itachi Uchiha looked at the Sage of Six Paths and continued, "However, this matter is not feasible in your ninja world, because your world does not have the existence of Kitahara…"
"No matter. This old man will find a way to dispatch someone to be specifically responsible for this matter."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki thought for a moment, then looked up at the rogue Itachi who was still entangled by the Yin Fire Heavenly Dragon in the sky, and said softly, "Perhaps a candidate has already been chosen…"
