Chapter 238 - Chapter 238 The Distressed Sage of Six Paths

"Are all you Uchiha this goofy? How come you're not like the impression I had!"

"Where's the aloofness, the ruthlessness, the cold-bloodedness?"

Taka's words undoubtedly conveyed such a meaning.

Sensing his implication, the Uchiha present felt extremely awkward.

So embarrassing, truly embarrassing. To be embarrassed like this in front of so many powerful figures from the ninja world was practically social suicide!

"You idiot!"

"Hitomizu, can you stop embarrassing our Uchiha Clan!"

Roaring, another Uchiha jumped up and hit Hitomizu!

Bang!

The fierce fist connected with Hitomizu's head, producing a crisp sound.

A sound like that definitely meant a good head!

"Ouch, it hurts!" Holding his head, Hitomizu looked somewhat wronged at the person who hit him: "Grandpa Futaba, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Looking at Hitomizu's expression, Uchiha Futaba was so angry smoke seemed to come from his nose: "You dare ask what's wrong?"

"Arrgghh, today I will cleanse our ranks!"

After saying that, Futaba's Sharingan spun, directly pulling Hitomizu into his Genjutsu Space.

Clearly, inside that space, Futaba would administer some 'tough love' education to Hitomizu.

In the outside world, after locking eyes, the two Uchiha became still.

Looking at them, everyone felt a bit envious.

A Genjutsu Space... in this godforsaken Pure Land where nothing happens, having a Genjutsu Space to 'go online' was something nobody had ever anticipated.

However, after this Uchiha grandfather-grandson pair began their Genjutsu Space communication, the scene quieted down.

"Huu…"

After taking a deep breath, Taka resumed his explanation: "Where was I?"

"Mm, right, I was talking about how I died, but my body didn't die!"

Taka looked at everyone: "Why didn't the body die? It's because a part of my soul remained inside my body!"

"Otherwise, if the soul truly left the body, the body wouldn't even breathe, wouldn't it die immediately?"

"Simply put, the soul that leaves the body via my Spirit Transformation Technique is only a part. You can think of me as divided into the conscious mind and the subconscious mind."

"My Spirit Transformation Technique only spiritualizes and separates the part of the soul corresponding to my conscious mind, leaving a part of the subconscious in the body!"

"This is the principle of my Spirit Transformation Technique!"

"It's most of my being entering another person's body, which is why I can easily control them."

"I see!" Hearing Taka's words, everyone nodded.

But then Tobirama asked: "What does this have to do with what we were discussing earlier?"

"The relation? Of course there is one!" Taka smiled slightly: "I speculate that the Sage of Six Paths' situation is similar to my Spirit Transformation Technique."

"My Spirit Transformation Technique uses my will, supplemented by Chakra, to bind the soul, allowing the spiritual body to walk the world!"

"And the Sage of Six Paths is the same!"

"His current state is using something to bind his spiritual body. That's why he can't be killed, because this 'something' isn't conventional and you can't harm it!"

"For example, I quite like reading novels. What if what the Sage of Six Paths uses to bind himself today is something abstract and mysterious, like faith?"

"Like, our impression of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"If Sora cannot erase the image of the Sage of Six Paths from the impressions of all of us, the Sage won't dissipate. This is also a possibility!"

"Oh!" After listening to Taka's words, everyone felt inexplicably shocked!

"However, I think faith or something seems a bit too metaphysical!" Tobirama rejected this speculation: "It's very bizarre!"

"By the way, why haven't they continued fighting yet?" Tobirama looked up.

During the time they were explaining, the Sage of Six Paths and Sora in the sky hadn't made a move, just quietly stared at each other.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tajima had a guess: "Could it be that they also entered a Genjutsu Space?"

"Is that it? But being toyed with by that Kyoka Suigetsu must be quite unpleasant too!" Everyone sighed: "That Kyoka Suigetsu is also a beastly ability!"

However, the Sage of Six Paths currently was not being toyed with by Kyoka Suigetsu.

Of course, he was quite distressed.

The Sage of Six Paths never imagined that those little brats below, making guess after guess, would actually reveal his deepest secrets!

His foundation was now exposed before Sora!

What should he do if Sora leaves later and starts destroying temples and beliefs in the Ninja World?

If the world's impression of him, the Sage of Six Paths, changes, his form won't be able to persist!

'No, I must maintain composure, must act as if nothing is wrong!'

The Sage of Six Paths roared inwardly.

Thus, he looked at Sora with a smile on his face: "Quite an interesting speculation, isn't it?"

Sora's expression was peculiar: "Indeed!"

"The question is, is it really just a speculation?"

"Of course it's a speculation!"

"Otherwise, how could anyone possibly use something as ethereal as faith to bind their own soul?"

"Indeed!" Sora nodded, seemingly in agreement.

Then he looked at the Sage of Six Paths: "So the question arises, since I've already explained my abilities, why don't you now explain your situation?"
