"Bastard, how dare this happen!"
The Third Raikage swung his fist heavily, filled with rage.
As a father, he naturally chose to believe his own son.
He never imagined that his Kumogakure would become a sacrificial pawn in the game between the Sage of Six Paths and the Outsider, Sora!
The Fourth Raikage was forcibly killed, died in battle, within his own village. How would others perceive it? He didn't even dare to think!
You know, why did the Third Raikage cover the retreat for his troops? Why did the Second Raikage block Gold and Silver Brothers?
It was because they knew this would preserve more of the village's future and keep the Ninjas united.
Only when Ninjas are united is the team easier to lead.
But now the Raikage was dead, the murderer was someone absolutely unbeatable, the pressure was too great.
And when pressure is great, some people will slack off… it's human nature.
The smart approach would be to find ways to rekindle their fighting spirit, not to blame, scold, or guilt-trip them.
The Third Raikage was very clear on these tactics, and the original Fourth Raikage understood them too.
But the Fourth Raikage died too early. Whether the Fifth understood was now a problem!
"Hmph, Sage of Six Paths!" The Third Raikage looked at the Sage, his gaze full of hostility.
With the Third Raikage leading the way, the Kumogakure's Ninja side, the Yotsuki Clan need not be mentioned.
Others, seeing the Yotsuki's hostility, also felt somewhat displeased with the Sage of Six Paths.
Floating in the sky,
Feeling the hostility from the crowd, the Sage of Six Paths also began to panic.
'No, wasn't I letting the others communicate mainly to make them understand how powerful and dangerous the Outsider was, so we could unite our strength to deal with him?'
'But what was the meaning of this now? Blaming me?'
'But I was also thinking about the world!'
The Sage of Six Paths felt wronged.
But he also knew this situation couldn't continue.
The Sage of Six Paths shouted: "Deceitful Outsider, wanting to reshape the world into something else is not so easy!"
"This is the world of Ninjas, not your world!"
Hearing the Sage of Six Paths' words, although somewhat awkward, the many Ninjas still shifted their attention.
Hearing that Sora wanted to reshape the world, Tobirama also stepped forward, staring intently at Sora as he asked: "Young man, is what the Sage of Six Paths said true? You want to reshape the world?"
"Correct!" Meeting Tobirama's gaze, Sora nodded.
"This world is far too backward!"
"I want to end the Ninja Village System that only escalates war, unify the world, and set everyone on the right path!"
"However, the plans for the living world are minor. I come from the outside world, I am a type of spiritual entity."
"So my true reshaping is here in the Pure Land, at the root of the world!" Sora explained.
"Oh? So what do you intend to turn the world into?" Tobirama seemed very interested in Sora's words.
"At the very least, there should be a proper cycle of reincarnation, right?" Sora revealed a sarcastic smile: "At least that's better than the current situation where no one can be reincarnated!"
"But the cycle of reincarnation is a minor matter. I will transform the Pure Land into a place where everyone can live a normal life!"
"In other words, after living one life on the surface, you can come down here and live a second life!"
As soon as Sora said this, everyone's breathing became heavy!
A second chance at life… what a huge temptation! Some rulers in other worlds wanted to live a second life but ended up dead without complete bodies!
Sensing their attitudes, Sora also gave Tobirama a grateful look.
He knew this was Tobirama's deliberate move, to set the stage for him to say these things.
As for why someone like Tobirama would help him, even after he had beaten Konoha so badly...
Sora's gaze shifted to the side. Within the small group named 'Senju', Senju Soki was explaining things about the outside world to his grandfather, his grandfather's grandfather, and his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather.
No one, or rather, any normal person could endure such an afterlife!
And with Tobirama's change in attitude.
Instantly, three out of the five discernible groups of Ninjas leaned towards Sora!
Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths panicked.
"What are you trying to do? Didn't I tell you? Powerful enemies will come in the future. Everyone is here to prepare for the battle against the powerful enemy!" the Sage of Six Paths explained.
Hearing this, Sora spoke again: "Why should problems of the world of the living be solved by the world of the dead?"
"If they can't be solved, that's the incompetence of the living. They should swallow the bitter fruit themselves!"
"The saying is 'After I die, let the flood rage'. How come now, people don't even have the right to die?"
"Brother, this is the Ninja World, not Warhammer 40K!"
Sora retorted.
And his words completely shattered the Sage of Six Paths.
Although he didn't know what Warhammer 40K was, he knew that Sora's words had struck a chord in everyone's hearts!
