Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Ama No Hoko And The Six Paths Sword

The battle between Kaguya and Hagoromo and Hamura lasted for a long time.

In the end, the two joined forces and used Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.

They successfully sealed Otsutsuki Kaguya.

In her despair, Otsutsuki Kaguya looked toward Arisu.

Arisu looked at her coldly. "Reflect on your sins properly."

At the final moment, Otsutsuki Kaguya used her last bit of hope and shot out Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu fell to the ground, looking at Mother with sorrow in his eyes.

However, just as Black Zetsu's gaze shifted elsewhere, it met Arisu's eyes.

In an instant...

Black Zetsu thought something was wrong and said to himself, It's over.

———

On a barren mountain peak, there were three people and one toad.

Arisu, Hagoromo, Hamura, Gamamaru.

"Master, these are treasures I made from the God Tree. Please accept them. As for Mother stabbing you in the back back then, I apologize to you on her behalf!"

After the battle, Hagoromo handed several treasures to Arisu.

They were, the Flame Fan, the Amber Purifying Bottle, the Seven Star Sword, the Golden Rope, the Red Gourd, and the Banana Fan.

Six treasures, which are the Six Paths Ninja Tools of later generations.

"You two brothers were able to give up small love for the sake of the world and choose great love. I am very pleased."

Arisu nodded slightly as he faced the Six Paths treasures.

'If I do not take them, I would be wasting them.'

'I will not be polite.'

"Master, this is a weapon I forged to thank you for helping us. I hope you will accept it."

Hagoromo respectfully handed a pure black sword to Arisu.

"Oh?"

Arisu raised an eyebrow and immediately saw that this was no ordinary item.

"I created two weapons. One is the Ama no Hoko, and the other is this sword."

"I discovered that Master does not have Yin Yang Release. With this sword, you can directly use Yin Yang Release."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo said with a smile.

"Indeed, a good weapon."

Arisu held it in his hand and instantly felt connected to the sword.

He immediately understood that as long as one's belief was firm, this sword would be indestructible and able to cut through anything.

The same setting as Obito's Ama no Hoko.

As long as the belief is firm. That is also why people online used to say that if Obito's will was strong, he would be very powerful.

Just as Arisu wanted to try summoning Truth Seeking Balls…

he found that no matter what he did, he could not use them.

Arisu frowned.

"Hm? What's going on?"

Hagoromo at the side was also slightly confused. He clearly remembered that as long as one held this sword, they could directly use Yin Yang Release and use the ability of Truth Seeking Balls.

After trying a few times, Arisu smiled slightly. He already understood the reason in his heart.

"Forget it. Does this sword have a name?" Arisu asked gently.

Hagoromo shook his head. "No. Please give it a name, Master."

Arisu looked at the completely black long sword and said calmly, "How about calling it the Six Paths Sword?"

"Good name!" Hagoromo praised.

Hamura at the side also nodded.

Arisu smiled faintly.

There was a meaning behind the name he chose. Six Paths Sword, Six Paths Sword. It meant that he wanted to break through to the Six Paths level, so he named it Six Paths Sword.

"Master, there is one more thing. I would like to entrust something to you."

Hagoromo then took out nine glowing magatama.

They were the nine Tailed Beasts.

"I divided that thing's chakra into nine parts. I want to ask Master to find them a shelter, let them understand humans, trust humans, and help humans." Hagoromo said.

Hamura widened his eyes as he looked at the nine sleeping Tailed Beasts inside the magatama and could not help but praise, "Looking at them like this, these little guys are quite cute."

Arisu looked at the nine Tailed Beasts and felt slightly moved. He had once again witnessed the development of the story. The nine Tailed Beasts.

Creatures that run through the entire Naruto world view.

"Alright, I'll take them."

Arisu put the magatama into his robe. Kaguya had already been sealed, and he had nothing much to do. Maybe he would just study Sage arts and find homes for these Tailed Beasts.

"So Hagoromo, what are you planning to do next?" Arisu looked at Hagoromo and asked.

Hagoromo looked at the world around them, now full of ruins because of the battle. A trace of pity rose in his heart.

"I want to bring salvation. I want to spread my ideas. I want everyone to understand each other." Hagoromo spoke slowly.

Arisu nodded when he saw this. Just like in the original story. Then he looked at Hamura. "Hamura, what about you?"

Hearing this, Hamura smiled and looked toward the moon in the sky. "I want to accompany Mother…"

As soon as these words came out, Gamamaru at the side could not hold back and said, "You also want to be sealed on the moon?"

Hamura and Hagoromo, "....."

Arisu, "..."

"I understand Mother. In the end, I still love Mother. In essence, Mother is a weak woman." Hamura said gently.

Arisu sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Now that Kaguya had been sealed, his hatred had also become like passing clouds.

His state of mind had improved greatly again.

"You are a good person." Arisu nodded to Hamura.

After that, the three said their farewells and left.

"Master, remember to come see me. I still want to compete with you to see who lives longer!" Hagoromo said with a smile.

Arisu smiled helplessly in his heart.

'Compete with me on who lives longer?'

'You probably cannot win. Right now, even if I want to die, I cannot.'

Although Hamura and Hagoromo were not pure Otsutsuki, judging from their appearance and the size of their horns, they were already close to pure blood.

It is not a problem for Hagoromo to live close to a thousand years.

But compared to the immortal Arisu, there is no comparison.

"...."

Arisu waved his hand slightly. The next time they meet might be a hundred years later, maybe two hundred years later…

"Hagoromo boy, goodbye." Gamamaru also said.

After speaking, Arisu took Gamamaru with him. Their figures slowly disappeared. The Six Paths treasures disappeared together with them.

Hagoromo looked at everything around him and made up his mind to bring salvation to the world!

———

Returning to Mount Myoboku, Arisu looked at the treasures in his hand and thought slightly.

These things were not very useful to him.

If he faced someone stronger than himself, he would not need these. If he faced someone weaker, he would need them even less.

"The only one that is still somewhat useful is this Six Paths Sword."

Arisu looked at the completely black long sword in his hand and could not help but smile.

The Six Paths Sword. If he slowly studied it in the future, maybe he could use it to create Truth Seeking Balls.

"Teacher, Teacher, how are you planning to handle these little things?"

Gamamaru looked at the small Tailed Beasts inside the nine magatama.

Arisu hesitated slightly.

Right now, these Tailed Beasts were too small. They had not grown up yet, so they could not be released for now.

In the original story, Hagoromo only released them when they had grown to more than ten meters tall.

"Let them stay at Mount Myoboku for a few years. After they grow a bit bigger, then release them into different parts of the world."

Arisu put away the Six Paths Sword and said calmly.

"Yes!" Gamamaru nodded.

He naturally had no objections.

The one truly in control of Mount Myoboku now was Arisu. What Arisu said was the law of Mount Myoboku.

"Sigh, the world has returned to peaceful times again."

Arisu rubbed his forehead. The next thing that might interest him would be Hagoromo establishing Ninshu, and the birth of Asura and Indra.

But that might still take some time.

Because from the anime, Hagoromo was already middle aged when he had Indra and Asura.

And the current Hagoromo was still in his youth.
