Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock.
No one had expected that Arisu, who had always been by their side and whom they had called by so many different identities, was actually the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Standing behind Arisu, Kakuzu looked at their stunned, distorted expressions and smiled faintly.
He still clearly remembered what he had looked like when he first learned his teacher's true identity. Back then, he had been even more shocked than everyone present combined.
Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Tajima, and Uchiha Yuto wore the most complicated expressions.
Their clan elder, grandfather, great-grandfather... was actually the Sage of Six Paths himself.
Just as everyone was still immersed in their shock, Kaguya suddenly attacked!
Without the slightest hesitation, she unleashed Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. Countless fist shadows poured toward Arisu like a torrential storm.
The terrifying shockwaves instantly destroyed countless Edo Tensei reincarnations, blasting their bodies into dust in an instant.
However, their Edo Tensei bodies recovered quickly, and they soon reformed.
Indra, who had lost half his body, looked excited instead. Licking his lips, he said, "That move... it almost killed me in one hit... Interesting!"
Arisu's expression never changed. He directly took the full force of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack with his face.
The violent fist shadows exploded across his body without leaving even the slightest mark.
"What?!"
Kaguya's expression darkened slightly. She immediately gathered her power, trying to use Amenominaka to alter space and banish Arisu into another dimension.
But after activating it several times in a row, nothing happened.
Space did not move in the slightest.
Arisu looked at her calmly and said, "It's useless, Kaguya. Those old tricks of yours don't work anymore."
Kaguya's face changed drastically, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She knew Arisu was powerful, but she had never imagined he had surpassed Otsutsuki Isshiki.
Looking at the surprise and fear on Kaguya's face, Arisu wasn't surprised.
After all, Kaguya had never seen him fight with his full strength. The information gap between them was simply too great.
She had naively believed that returning to her peak condition would let her fight him.
The next moment, Arisu moved. He grabbed Kaguya and brought her into the Beginning Ball Space.
Inside the Beginning Ball Space, everything was silent. Only the two of them stood facing each other.
Looking at the Kaguya he had dragged inside, Arisu spoke calmly, his voice carrying absolute pressure.
"I now possess the power to kill you. Don't think sealing you is all I can do."
The moment Kaguya heard the words "kill you," her expression changed completely.
Arisu said nothing more. He simply brought his hands together.
"Six Paths, Planetary Devastation!"
An enormous gravitational force instantly enveloped Kaguya, locking her body in place.
The Tailed Beasts inside her were forcibly extracted one after another, and Arisu casually sent them back to the human world.
Kaguya floated helplessly in the air as her once overwhelming aura rapidly weakened.
Arisu slowly reached out and grabbed her by the throat.
With the slightest squeeze, Kaguya would die completely.
Overwhelming killing intent locked onto Kaguya like something tangible, and a long-forgotten fear of death instantly spread through her entire body.
Kaguya was afraid.
How many years had it been...
How many years had it been since she had felt the presence of death?
"Kaguya, I warned you before. I didn't expect you to keep crossing my bottom line. If you had behaved yourself, I wouldn't have done anything to you.", Arisu spoke calmly, without much emotion in his voice.
With her throat gripped, Kaguya struggled to speak. Her voice was hoarse and filled with despair.
"Kill me... I've completely lost hope in this world."
Arisu looked at her, narrowing his eyes slightly.
He looked at Kaguya's face for several seconds.
Then he let out a soft sigh.
"See you in the next reincarnation."
Kaguya froze, confusion flashing through her eyes. She had no idea what Arisu meant.
The next moment, Arisu tightened his grip without hesitation and snapped Kaguya's neck cleanly.
Her pupils instantly widened. Her body trembled weakly once before all signs of life disappeared.
Arisu casually flicked his hand, then released the Infinite Tsukuyomi that covered the entire ninja world before leaving the Beginning Ball Space.
On the battlefield outside, Uchiha Hikari had already been completely subdued by Kakuzu, Obito, and Indra working together. Or rather, Indra alone could have handled her.
After Arisu appeared, he merely glanced at Uchiha Hikari. With a slight point of his finger, he instantly pulled her into another dimension.
When Arisu appeared before everyone again, they all looked at him with eyes filled with reverence and unfamiliarity.
It was a gaze that held both awe toward a figure of legend and distance toward someone familiar who had suddenly become unreachable.
"Grandpa... will you still stay with us?"
Uchiha Izuna asked carefully, his voice carrying both nervousness and hope.
Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Tajima wore almost identical expressions.
Their grandfather was the Sage of Six Paths.
But more importantly...
He was still their grandfather.
Arisu looked at them and smiled faintly, just about to nod.
But Indra spoke first, "No. After Teacher finishes his affairs in the human world, he'll stay with me. The rest of you shouldn't disturb Teacher anymore."
Hatake Sakumo lowered his head, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.
To be honest, he had wanted to invite Arisu out for barbecue...
But with so many important figures present, what right did an ordinary person like him have to interrupt? He could only quietly keep his mouth shut.
He was just an ordinary man.
Arisu was the Sage of Six Paths.
The gap in their identities meant things could never be as casual as before.
Arisu opened his mouth.
Suddenly, he sensed something.
The next second, he disappeared.
Meanwhile...
Just as Yukio was about to summon the Ten Tails into the human world, Arisu stopped him.
"Father!? Weren't you fighting Kaguya in another dimension?"
Yukio panicked inwardly. He hadn't expected his father to deal with Kaguya so quickly.
He had originally wanted to settle everything in the ninja world while his father was away.
"Have you caused enough trouble?" Arisu asked calmly.
Looking guilty, Yukio lowered his head.
"Sorry, Dad. I didn't tell you beforehand, but I also wanted to change this world. This world..."
Before he could finish, Arisu interrupted him.
"You want to change this world. This world isn't worth changing. No matter how you change it, it will become what it originally was. It's meaningless.", Arisu spoke with a complicated look in his eyes.
After learning that this world would reset, he naturally knew that no matter what anyone did, it would return to how it originally was.
Looking at Yukio's young face, Arisu sighed inwardly.
It seemed...
He no longer belonged in the world of Naruto.
And the son he had raised had become someone completely out of place in this world.
Arisu couldn't help thinking of himself when he was young.
Back then, his grandparents had done everything they could to send him out of the village so he could study in a better city.
In the same way, he wanted to send Yukio out of the Naruto world.
"System, I choose the second option. But I want my son to leave this place.", Arisu asked.
[That's possible. You choose Option Two, and your son chooses Option One.]
Arisu smiled faintly, "Thank you, System."
He looked back at his son and asked, "Are you willing to go and change the real Earth?"
