The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 395 Scheming Against the Six Immortals

"Minato, don't worry! The Sage of Six Paths' resurrection ritual takes time; we still have a chance."

Uchiha Mitsunori pressed down on Namikaze Minato's shoulder: "I've come up with some ways to deal with the Sage of Six Paths."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Minato Namikaze's eyes. He quickly steadied himself and said urgently, "Lord Mimine, please speak! No matter how difficult it is, I will do it if you can rescue Naruto!"

Uchiha Mitsumine lightly tapped the air with his fingertips, and a golden light screen appeared, reflecting the patterns of the Six Paths Sage's Rinnegan.

"First, cut off their supply lines. The core of the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan eye technique is to absorb the chakra carried by the souls of dead ninjas. Now that the ninja world is unified, ninja casualties have greatly decreased, which is why the Sage of Six Paths is resorting to desperate measures."

"We need to gather all the ninjas in the ninja world together, and I will teleport them to the sixth planet. It is rich in resources and there is little chance of casualties. The Sage of Six Paths will not be able to find that place in the short term."

Minato Namikaze nodded vigorously, quickly organizing the execution plan in his mind: "I understand! I will notify the leaders of the major ninja villages to use space-time ninjutsu to teleport them in batches. We can gather everyone together within a day!"

"Second, we'll seize his power. The Sage of Six Paths can summon the souls of powerful figures from the past to serve as his henchmen. Those souls he summons all originate from powerful figures who died in the ninja world in the past. You lead a group to collect these remains... from Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha to all the Kage-level shinobi of the past, bring them all. I will use the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique to truly revive them. At that time, the Sage of Six Paths will have one less ally."

Minato Namikaze's pupils constricted sharply, then his face lit up with wild joy: "Resurrecting the strongest ninjas of all time? This is a fatal blow! I'll make arrangements immediately, having the Anbu and all the ninja villages coordinate a search, leaving no skeleton undiscovered!"

"Third, guard against his backup plan. The nine tailed beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths, and he may have planted a backup plan within them. The tailed beasts must be sealed and their chakra drained as soon as possible. I will assign someone to handle this matter, and you only need to focus on the first two tasks."

(In the original work: During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sage of Six Paths was even able to forcibly summon the Tailed Beasts back from Kaguya Otsutsuki's body.)

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's anxiety instantly dissipated by most. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Lord Sanmine! I will return to the ninja world immediately and carry out your orders!"

After saying that, the mark of the Flying Thunder God lit up under his feet, and the next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

After watching Minato Namikaze leave, the Uchiha Mitsunaga casually opened a spatial gate, revealing a completely different scene behind it.

The training grounds of the ancestral star are paved with a special alloy, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. The distant mountain peaks are covered with snow, and the air is filled with the pure aura of chakra.

Beside the alloy railings of the training ground, Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed, his black cloak trailing to the ground, leaving a long trail at the hem.

His Rinnegan eyes held a hint of impatience, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped the railing, clearly indicating that he had been waiting for a long time.

Not far away, Hashirama Senju was squatting on the ground, fiddling with the tender branches that he had just forced to grow using Wood Release. His fingertips gently brushed against the emerald green leaves, and dewdrops slid down the veins of the leaves. He had a gentle smile on his face, as if he didn't care about anything around him.

"Madara, Hashirama, I need to speak with you about something."

Uchiha Sanfeng strode over, his black robe sweeping across the ground and stirring up a gentle breeze.

Madara Uchiha looked up, and the impatience in his Rinnegan faded slightly, replaced by a hint of surprise.

He remained unfazed, letting out a cold snort: "It's rare to see you in such a hurry! Besides, you never come here without a reason; something important must have happened to come looking for us this time, right?"

He had known Sanfeng for many years and knew his character well; he would never be so anxious unless it concerned the survival of the ninja world.

Hashirama Senju stopped what he was doing, planted the sapling in the soil beside him, stood up, and his smile gradually faded: "Mitsumine, what happened?"

Uchiha Mitsunori walked up to the two men, his gaze sweeping over them, his tone heavy as iron: "The Sage of Six Paths, also known as Otsutsuki Hagoromo, is attempting to revive himself in the Edo Tensei world using Naruto's body."

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

The twig in Hashirama's hand snapped with a "crack." He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock: "The legendary Sage of Six Paths who founded Ninja Cult and sealed Kaguya-sama? Why would he want to take over Naruto's body? Isn't he the savior of the ninja world?"

"Savior?" Madara scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in his Rinnegan eyes. "He's nothing but a hypocrite who wants to control everything."

Uchiha Mitsunori said calmly, "After sealing Kaguya back then, he considered himself the savior of the ninja world and regarded it as his private property. Now that he sees the ninja world unified by me and no longer under his control, he wants to be resurrected and take control of everything again. Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura, with pure Yang Release chakra and the power of the Nine-Tails within him, making him the perfect vessel for resurrection."

Madara Uchiha's eyes instantly sharpened, and a fierce fighting spirit flashed in his Rinnegan.

He unleashed a powerful aura, causing his black robes to flutter: "Hmph, it would be interesting to fight the 'Sage of Six Paths.' Since he wants to be resurrected, I'll play along! Perfect, let me see just how capable this so-called Sage of Six Paths really is."

Uchiha Sanfeng looked at the two men and said solemnly, "I've come to you for this very reason. Back then, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura joined forces to seal away their mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya; now, I hope you two will join forces to seal away these two rebellious sons. This is both to protect the peace of the ninja world and to give this rebellious son who betrayed his mother the most just punishment."

A complex emotion flickered in Hashirama Senju's eyes. He recalled his past grievances with Madara, the efforts they had made for peace in the ninja world, and how hard-won the current tranquility was. He gripped the broken branch in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Sealing the Sage of Six Paths... this is a heavy responsibility, but for the peace of the ninja world, and to protect those innocent people, I agree to join forces to seal him."

Madara Uchiha grinned, his Rinnegan radiating a chilling fighting spirit. He patted Hashirama on the shoulder, his tone laced with provocation: "Joining forces to seal a rebellious son who betrayed his mother? Sounds interesting. Besides, it's not a bad deal to have you fighting alongside me again, Hashirama. But don't hold me back, Hashirama!"

Hashirama Senju laughed heartily, his Wood Release chakra surging around him, and a patch of tender green grass instantly sprouted from the soil around him: "Don't worry, Madara! This time, we'll definitely succeed together!"

Uchiha Mitsunori looked at the two's tacit understanding and a hint of relief appeared on his face. He nodded slightly: "Alright. You two prepare here and familiarize yourselves with each other's cooperation. After all, many years have passed, and your fighting styles have changed. I'm going to Kaguya's palace to discuss with her how to deal with Hagoromo and Hamura."

After saying that, his figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the training ground. When he reappeared, he was in a magnificent palace floating in the universe.

This palace is constructed from countless luminous crystals that refract the light of the stars in the universe, resembling a dreamlike castle.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of wisteria blossoms; this was the residence of Kaguya Otsutsuki... the Luna Shrine.

Along the palace corridors were rows of ice crystal flowerpots, filled with various flowers and plants from the ninja world, all specially sourced for her by Uchiha Sanfeng.

Deep within the palace, by the window, Kaguya Otsutsuki, dressed in a long white dress, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, the hem of her dress trailing on the gleaming floor, resembled a goddess untouched by worldly concerns.

She was gently stroking the crystal flowerpot on the windowsill, in which a blooming wisteria was planted, with a glistening dewdrop still clinging to the petal.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, she slowly turned her head. The coldness in her white pupils was gone, replaced by the gentleness of a married woman: "Sanfeng, you're back."

"Um."

Uchiha Mitsunori walked to her side, raised his hand and gently took her slightly cool hand in his, feeling the delicate touch on his fingertips.

"I unified the ninja world and wanted you to enjoy this peace, but now, Hagoromo is plotting his resurrection in the ninja world, and Hamura will probably appear as well."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression changed slightly, and a complex mix of emotions flashed in her eyes, including anger, disappointment, and a touch of heartache as a mother.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she grasped Mitsumine's hand: "That rebellious son, Hagoromo, conspired with Hamura to seal me away back then, trapping me in endless darkness. Now he wants to revive me and control the ninja world. He's truly obsessed with his own delusions."

She leaned against Sanfeng's chest, her voice tinged with weariness: "If you hadn't resurrected me with the Reincarnation Technique back then, I'm afraid I would still be sealed in that endless darkness, never to see the stars of this universe again."

Uchiha Mitsunori gently patted her back and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I won't let him succeed. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are also reincarnations of Hagoromo's two children's chakra. They possess the power of Ashura and Indra. I plan to have the two of them join forces to seal them away."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed on the stars and cosmos outside the window. The light of those stars shimmered in her eyes, as if she were reminiscing about the past.

After a long silence, she said softly, "Then let's reclaim the Ashura and Indra chakra within them, severing their foundations. Seal Hagoromo in Hell for a thousand years, so he can properly reflect on his mistakes; Hamura, although he also participated in the sealing, his crimes don't warrant death, so let's seal him for five hundred years, is that alright?"

Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head and kissed Kaguya's forehead, his eyes full of tenderness: "Alright, I promise you, I'll do as you say and punish those two rebellious sons. After we've dealt with them, I'll accompany you to every corner of this universe and see all the beautiful scenery."

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her head, a hint of a smile in her eyes. Her white pupils reflected the image of the three peaks, her only home in this life.
