Chapter 81 A Suffocating Question (Eighth Update)
In the dream, the Sage of Six Paths gazed quietly at Kakashi, who was lost in confusion, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
In fact, he was not willing to easily get involved in human conflicts, especially when he clearly knew...:
Beyond the matter of Uchiha Abominable, an even more severe and immense threat was quietly approaching his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya.
He must remain vigilant at all times and carefully plan for all possible variables.
To prevent Kaguya Otsutsuki from returning, he had already laid out the final barrier and measures in the Pure Land.
To his surprise, Uchiha Abyss's power developed far too rapidly and dangerously.
Initially, the Sage of Six Paths did not pay much attention to the existence of Uchiha Abyss. He believed that it was just another instance of humanity going astray and would eventually dissipate on its own.
However, as time went on, the strange power possessed by Uchiha Abyss's Mangekyou Sharingan grew stronger and stronger, even beginning to transcend the boundaries of life and death...
If left unchecked...
Next...
Uchiha Abyss's corruption...
Highly likely...
It exerts a significant erosion and pollution on the soul of the Pure Land.
This made it impossible for him to remain silent any longer.
We have to act!
In the present world, Orochimaru, Tobirama, and Kakashi are the three he pays the most attention to...
It's important to understand that the soul of the Pure Land was a crucial element in his defenses against his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.
If the Pure Land is polluted, his last line of defense against Kaguya will completely collapse.
Therefore, even knowing that doing so might require too much energy and power, he still had to choose to actively intervene in the ninja world in an attempt to curb the further spread of Uchiha Abyss's curse and power.
However, if all his energy is focused on containing Uchiha Gen, his original plans and backup plans for Kaguya may become completely ineffective.
Moreover, besides his chakra contamination...
A massive, world-ending planet is rapidly approaching, posing a crisis for the planet. His younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, will try to handle it alone on the moon.
But this doesn't change the fact that he must find a suitable person in the real world to help him curb the continued infiltration of Uchiha Abyss's power.
In his observation, Kakashi Hatake was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Although Kakashi also bears the mark of Uchiha Abyss's power, his rationality, willpower, and tenacity make him stand out from the other infected individuals.
Kakashi not only suppresses the dark forces lurking within him, but he also steadfastly upholds his unwavering devotion to his comrades and the village. This rare quality may be the only hope for the ninja world.
Unfortunately, Kakashi was currently caught in a state of confusion and struggle from which he could not extricate himself.
He was doubting, resisting, and even fearing.
Upon seeing this scene, the Sage of Six Paths slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Perhaps now is not the right time to explain too much.
"Kakashi, I'm not forcing you to choose any particular path."
"Your choice will profoundly affect the future of the entire ninja world... If you still wish to protect everything you cherish, I hope you will visit Ryuchi Cave..."
"Furthermore, Tobirama's situation in Kirigakure is very dangerous... Please consider this carefully..."
After he finished speaking, the Sage of Six Paths' figure gradually became blurry and eventually disappeared completely from Kakashi's consciousness.
When Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes, everything inside the tent was still the same. Naruto was still sleeping peacefully, his small body accompanied by soft breathing, appearing exceptionally calm and serene.
After sitting calmly for a moment, sorting out the chaotic emotions in my heart, I slowly stood up, lifted the curtain, and was about to walk out when I suddenly stopped.
Outside the tent, a familiar figure stood silently in front of him.
"Lord Orochimaru..."
Kakashi was slightly surprised, but did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations. He simply stared calmly at the former Sannin in front of him.
Orochimaru's face was pale, and his tone was tinged with a mixture of emotion and sigh: "Kakashi, I never expected that we would meet under such circumstances."
"You went back to the village?"
Kakashi's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather calm.
"yes."
There was a moment of silence between the two. Orochimaru did not speak immediately, but carefully examined the young man in front of him.
Unlike Tobirama, Orochimaru always maintained a more pragmatic attitude.
Compared to Tobirama's repeated assertions that Kakashi had been completely corrupted...:
Orochimaru... preferred to observe Kakashi's true condition up close himself to determine the state of this former genius.
Orochimaru was slightly surprised by Kakashi's clear and calm eyes.
With a faint smile, Orochimaru said casually, "Kakashi, actually I'm quite curious about your condition..."
"Lord Orochimaru...:"
Kakashi ignored the deeper meaning of Orochimaru's words and instead asked, "The Second Hokage... he's gone to Kirigakure now, right?"
Orochimaru's expression shifted slightly: "How did you know that?"
"Perhaps this is the kind of contamination that you and Lord Tobirama were worried about, allowing me to vaguely sense that Lord Tobirama might be in some kind of dangerous situation."
Fuzzy perception?
This keyword was etched into Orochimaru's mind.
Kakashi then asked Orochimaru the question that caused him to suffocate...
"Then tell me, Lord Orochimaru, what should we do next?"
Why are you dumping the problem on me?
Shouldn't we ask Hiruzen-sensei?!
After a long silence, Orochimaru spoke up: "Let's find Hiruzen-sensei..."
Within Kirigakure Village, thick fog, like a sinister ghost, swirled around every corner of the village, as if deliberately concealing some unspeakable secret.
Tobirama walked silently in the shadows, his figure blending into the gray-white mist. With each step he took, his doubts and unease deepened.
The stench of blood was exceptionally strong in the surroundings, something that should never happen in a normal ninja village. A chilling and oppressive atmosphere seemed to permeate everything.
In the dim light, the occasional passing villagers had blank and indifferent faces, their eyes revealing an indescribable emptiness and alienation.
That radiance sent chills down Tobirama's spine.
The entire village seemed to have lost its vitality and soul, leaving only an eerie atmosphere stained with blood.
Just as Tobirama's doubts were growing, two unexpected figures suddenly appeared on the street.
Mizukage Yagura and Root's Danzo Shimura walked side by side, their clothes stained with blood, their expressions cold and gloomy, clearly having just experienced a massacre.
Danzo?
Tobirama's heart sank, and his brows furrowed. This wicked disciple...
They appeared in Kirigakure?
With a grave expression, Tobirama was about to quietly retreat when he overheard Danzo and Yagura talking in hushed tones.
He subconsciously listened carefully to their faint conversation.
I want to know what Danzo is plotting.
