Six Paths Sage.
Why would Akihara Kagura mention the ancient figures at this time?
Uchiha Sasuke's consciousness was already in a dying state; his brain was gradually losing its ability to think, though he still felt a bit of anger at being killed by Uchiha Itachi from behind!
Didn't he say…
Uchiha Itachi had already escaped the control of Reanimation Jutsu relying on Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan?
Didn't he say…
Uchiha Itachi had exterminated the clan to save his younger brother?
What on earth is going on?
Confused and perplexed, Uchiha Sasuke felt his consciousness constantly falling, until it completely descended into the abyss, and he heard an eerie dripping sound by his ear.
He…
Was he going to die?
Drip… Drip…
The crisp sound of water dripping was somewhat pleasing.
In a space shaped like a water prison.
When Uchiha Sasuke's consciousness appeared here, he found himself lying in a pool of water, stretching out his palm, wanting to feel the water's temperature.
"Is this… the world after death?"
"It seems that the ethical viewpoint of death from your era is quite different from my era; we certainly don't consider this death…"
An elderly voice interrupted Uchiha Sasuke's words, earnestly advising: "Don't casually say you're dead… newbie…"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing others in this space, Uchiha Sasuke instinctively flipped and leapt up, firmly staring at an old man appearing in front of him!
This old man sat cross-legged in the air, surrounded by a circle of pitch-black balls seemingly supporting his body, draped in a robe.
"Who are you!"
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were full of caution!
This old man…
Why was he here?
Moreover, wasn't he already dead?
The pain from Uchiha Itachi stabbing him from behind was still fresh in his memory; at that time, Uchiha Sasuke clearly felt his life slipping away!
"You are…"
Uchiha Sasuke thought of a possibility, recalling Akihara Kagura's murmur before his death, and suddenly a glimpse of fear surfaced in his eyes.
"Six Paths Sage… Otsutsuki Hagoromo?"
To be honest.
He must thank Akihara Kagura for the history lessons.
It was precisely because Akihara Kagura utilized the history of the three great Ninja Clans that people gradually learned the real name of the Six Paths Sage and his past stories.
Of course.
There are conflicts in these stories.
Some believe the Six Paths Sage was a demon who once destroyed the world; some regard him as a deity who created the world; some see him as a schemer who would stop at nothing to rule the world; others recall the Six Paths Sage as the founder of the peaceful era of the Ninja Sect a millennium ago.
No matter how the world views the Six Paths Sage, this ancient deity, a thousand years ago, has once again become known across the Ninja World, spreading the legend of a millennium ago.
"You actually know my real name…"
The old man's body slowly turned around, revealing his true appearance, then gradually opened his eyes—the esteemed Sage Eyes known by all.
Rinnegan.
This elderly figure was indeed the Six Paths Sage.
The Six Paths Sage appeared somewhat unlike a normal human, more like some alien species; atop his head were small, pointed horns, a crimson mark adorned his forehead, and his eyes were a pair of Rinnegan; his beard stretched long from his chin, and the robe he wore carried six black Tomoe pendants, lending him an aura of majesty.
This image…
Truly not something of a mortal.
"It's really the Six Paths Sage!"
Uchiha Sasuke was utterly shocked; at this moment, he realized why his brother Uchiha Itachi had stabbed him from behind!
It was because…
Akihara Kagura predicted that he would meet the Six Paths Sage!
All of this was Akihara Kagura's scheme. He knew that Sasuke would meet the Six Paths Sage after dying, which is why he sent a message to him just before his death!
"Everything was within that guy's expectations…"
Uchiha Sasuke's hand trembled, forming a fist as he looked at the elderly figure, unwillingly accepting the truth: "After my death, I indeed saw the Six Paths Sage…"
"Newbie, you're not dead yet…"
The Six Paths Sage looked at Uchiha Sasuke, softly wrinkling his brows, seemingly astonished: "How did you know you would definitely meet me?"
"I didn't know."
Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath and said solemnly: "But… Akihara Kagura knew, so he decided to conspire and assassinate me, allowing me to meet you at this moment… Why did I appear here to meet you after dying? Were you here to guide me to the Netherworld?"
"No."
"This is quite a long story."
The Six Paths Sage slowly shook his head, beginning to tell the story of the past: "Because within you, there is the Chakra of Indra; perhaps you don't know this name…"
"No, I know!"
Uchiha Sasuke interrupted the Six Paths Sage, showing surprise on his face, before gradually calming down, recalling the varied information circulating in the Ninja World recently.
Actually…
This matter was something Uchiha Sasuke anticipated.
According to the records of the Hyuga Clan, only those who bear the mysterious and powerful Chakra passed down for generations within the Uchiha Clan can awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan…
Uchiha Madara was one of them…
