357 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance
🕑 Added 2025-12-06 06:14:01 +0000 UTCAs Shinju's voice died down, the area instantly erupted into chaos, filled with all sorts of chatter and noise!
Immediately, Shinju formed hand seals with both hands: "Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
Swish swish swish swish—
Tens of thousands of Wood Clones split from Shinju's main body, moving instantly to address the needs of every ninja present!
One by one, the souls of the deceased were summoned from the Pure Land!
At the same time, under the influence of the Sage of Six Paths, the ninjas who were glowing and on the verge of returning to the afterlife stopped fading away.
The Sage of Six Paths looked at the chaotic scene and covered his face.
"You... you are disrupting the natural order of Yin and Yang. ´_＞`"
Shinju spread his hands, looking completely unbothered.
"I originally planned not to get involved in the Fourth War, but since I've already stepped in, I might as well do it thoroughly. Isn't it good to help everyone fulfill their dreams?"
"I will shoulder all the karma and consequences."
The Sage of Six Paths: "..."
Since Shinju had put it that way, there wasn't much the Sage could say. After all, this person had accomplished something even he couldn't achieve back in his time!
"Very well..." After hesitating for a moment, the Sage of Six Paths nodded. "By the way, how do you intend to handle the Tailed Beasts?"
Shinju fell into thought.
"After sealing Kaguya, all the Tailed Beast chakra within her entered my body... As for how to handle them... I'll let the Tailed Beasts choose for themselves."
"As long as they don't attack humans, those who wish to return to nature can do so, and those who want to return to their Jinchūriki can go back."
"Alright." The Sage of Six Paths looked at Shinju with appreciation. "There is one last question: Gamamaru... or as you call him, the Great Toad Sage. How do you intend to deal with his prophecy?"
Shinju was slightly taken aback. "You know about the Great Toad Sage's prophecy?"
The Sage of Six Paths smiled. "Just now, while you were fighting Mother, I heard Hashirama mention it... Also, before I died, Gamamaru was a good friend of mine. (o´Д`o)ノ"
"Is that so..." Shinju nodded along, gaining a new understanding of the Great Toad Sage's age.
He hadn't expected that the old toad, who spent all day dozing off, was actually from the same era as the Sage of Six Paths...
Shinju then answered the Sage's question.
"For now, we can only take things one step at a time. Besides, it seems the Toad Sage's prophecy wasn't entirely correct... I didn't trigger an explosion, nor did anyone descend from the sky."
The Sage of Six Paths laughed. "Perhaps the explosion he referred to wasn't a literal explosion."
Saying this, the Sage pointed toward the battlefield.
"A chakra explosion counts as an explosion too, doesn't it?"
On the battlefield, dead ninjas were constantly being resurrected (via Edo Tensei), and bursts of chakra were erupting one after another...
Shinju: (≖╻≖;)
"Umm... this amount of chakra shouldn't attract aliens, right?"
The Sage of Six Paths continued, "And what about the Six Paths Senjutsu you used at the end? That giant Buddha statue, several thousand meters tall—its range covered the entire Ninja World..."
"Young man, do not underestimate a toad's prophecy."
Shinju: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
Hearing the Sage explain it like that, it actually sounded quite reasonable!
"Well, I have said all I need to say. A trace of my chakra will remain in this world, so you needn't worry too much. If great changes occur in this world in the future... I will intervene! Ծ‸ Ծ"
With that, the Sage of Six Paths' spectral form vanished!
At that moment, Hashirama leaned in from the side.
"What about Madara? Shinju, did you see Madara?"
Shinju thought carefully for a moment.
"At the time, Madara's upper body was consumed by Kaguya, and then I sealed Kaguya... His upper body should have been sealed inside the palm of the statue along with her..."
Hashirama sighed. "I see."
"That guy got what he deserved, I suppose. I never imagined that a friend who once shared my ideals would become a disaster threatening the Ninja World..."
"Madara... you should have understood long ago. Our lives are short and limited; if we want to fulfill our great ambitions, we must let our will be inherited..."
After speaking, Hashirama walked away.
It was only then that Shinju remembered—Black Zetsu didn't seem to be dead yet!
So, Shinju found Black Zetsu, who was currently restrained by the Second Hokage's sealing technique.
At this moment, Black Zetsu was helpless and terrified, huddled inside the sleeve of Kaguya's severed arm like a frightened rat.
"Shinju... you... what are you coming over here for! (ᗒᗩᗕ)՞"
"Don't get cocky, I'm telling you! My mother is immortal and indestructible; she will come for revenge one day! (＞д＜)"
Tobirama raised his hand and slapped him.
"You have time to worry about your mom? You'd be better off worrying about yourself! ╰_╯"
Black Zetsu: ꒦ິ^꒦ິ
Shinju didn't waste any words; he raised his hand and struck Black Zetsu!
Yin and Yang forces acted upon Black Zetsu's body. With a swish!!, Black Zetsu was sent to the Pure Land to accompany his mother!
After finishing this, Shinju left the battlefield.
Currently, reunions were taking place all over the battlefield; it was extremely lively.
But that excitement belonged to them, not to Shinju.
As he walked, Shinju realized there was someone beside him!
"Ino? (꒪⌓꒪)"
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi on you was just released, so you're still in a weakened state, right?"
Shinju casually placed his palm on Ino's shoulder...
"Nngh~"
Ino's originally pale face instantly turned rosy! (/ω＼)
Shinju assumed Ino needed him for something, so he continued, "If you want to use Edo Tensei on a relative, you can go find one of my clones."
Ino crumpled the hem of her clothes, speaking hesitantly. "No, I came specifically to find you... (´つヮ⊂︎)"
"Shinju, I li..."
Before she could finish, Yugito's voice rang out from behind.
"Shinju is up ahead!!"
Then came Tenten: "I see him! Let's get him! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Soon, the voices became a chaotic roar!!
"I see him! Ahhh! He's even more handsome up close!!"
"I love him!!"
"I'm definitely taking him down tonight!"
"The one to take him down will be me! You lot should just give up! ┐(´-｀)┌"
"Look at that big face of yours; if Shinju looks at you once, he'll vomit for half a day!"
"Don't you get cocky! Your ears are as big as palm-leaf fans..."
"You... your eyes look like mung beans!"
"Don't be disorganized!"
"It's acceptable for multiple people to serve him!"
Shinju: "..."
What kind of wild, predatory remarks are these?!
Whether Shinju managed to escape in the end, or what else he did that night, no one knows.
...
Above the firmament.
Deep in the universe, on an alien planet.
A figure with white hair and an extremely bizarre appearance opened his eyes.
"I sense a familiar chakra."
"The location is the planet Isshiki and Kaguya went to."
"You two go and take a look. While you're at it, investigate why the Chakra Fruit hasn't been offered up yet..."
After this lord finished speaking, three figures prostrated on the ground outside, speaking respectfully.
"As you command."
...
Ninja World, in a certain dark corner.
A man with special symbols painted on his face propped his head up with his hand, his expression complex.
"A rare gathering."
