Chapter 243: Conversation Between Loving Father And Rebellious Son
Konoha Village, after talking to Mizuki, Sage of Six Paths did not continue to practice.
After Mizuki left, he looked down.
"Mizuki probably won't come to Konoha in a short time."
"The grudge between Indra and Ashura should be resolved in this life. The two brothers should put aside their past grudges and join hands."
"Ōtsutsuki has come again, and the catastrophe of the ninja world is coming. Although there is Mizuki, he is an outsider after all, and his purpose is unknown, so we cannot count on him."
"As for myself, it may be difficult for me to break through in a short time...it's really too difficult..."
"In the end, it still depends on his two brothers."
Sage of Six Paths looked up and looked outside the ninja world. His mother seemed to be able to penetrate the distant universe and reach into the depths of the starry sky.
He looked sad, and the wrinkles on his old face became more and more obvious.
"So, Sasuke can't die!"
"His character is indeed extreme, but after all, he is young and should be given a chance to turn around."
Sage of Six Paths sighed, and then his figure faded and disappeared.
In the dim space, Sasuke walked forward with a confused look on his face.
Circles of water ripples spread out under your feet, adding some water sound to the extremely quiet environment.
Suddenly, Sage of Six Paths appeared in front of Sasuke.
He sat cross-legged half a meter above the ground, with nine black Truth-Seeking Balls surrounding him in a circle, like a throne.
"Sage of Six Paths?"
Sage of Six Paths said: "Sasuke, have you ever regretted it?"
Sasuke snorted and asked, "Hmph, what do I have to regret? I just wanted to get the power of revenge. Although I killed Kakashi, I will resurrect him sooner or later, so I am not wrong at all."
Sage of Six Paths said: "However, you have learned the Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu and are stronger than Uchiha Itachi, enough to take revenge."
Sasuke sneered.
"Yes, with my strength at the time, it was enough to kill him."
“But not enough to resist the First Hokage.
"My enemy is not just Uchiha Itachi, the rotten Konoha Village is my real target of revenge. I want to destroy Konoha, and I want the entire village to be buried with Uchiha."
"But First Hokage is too strong. I am no match for him. In order to take revenge, I need strength."
"So, I'm not wrong at all."
Sage of Six Paths sighed.
"To obtain power, you don't have to use extreme methods. You are still young and can continue to practice."
"With your talent, you will soon surpass the First Hokage."
"In addition, what I want to say is that the destruction of the Uchiha clan was the fault of the high-level officials of Konoha and had nothing to do with the civilians of Konoha. Is it right for you to vent your anger on the entire Konoha Village?"
"You kill them for revenge, but if they die, what will happen to their hatred?"
Sasuke sneered: "The lives of Konoha civilians matter, and there are civilians in the Uchiha clan too!"
"Those old people, those children, can their deaths be repaid by just the lives of a few high-ranking Konoha officials?"
"That's not fair!"
Sage of Six Paths is speechless.
It can’t be said!
Sasuke added: "In addition, I captured Kakashi's Rinnegan not just for power."
"Mizuki favored Naruto and resurrected Naruto's mother, but ignored my prayers and found excuses to say that the Pure Land was sealed."
"Why can Naruto's mother be resurrected, but my mother can't be resurrected? I don't accept it!"
"Since he's not willing to resurrect my parents, I'll resurrect myself, so I have to get the Rinnegan."
Sage of Six Paths smiled wryly.
The Pure Land is indeed sealed by oneself. Who would have thought that this would become one of the triggers for Sasuke's fall.
He couldn't help but lament in his heart.
From Sasuke, he clearly saw the shadow of Indra.
In the past, Indra, in order to regain the inheritance rights of the Ninja Sect from Ashura, did not hesitate to kill his friends and let Sharingan evolve into Mangekyō Sharingan.
Addicted to the power trap, unable to extricate itself.
Now Sasuke is like Indra, doing whatever it takes to gain power, and has obviously gone astray.
Looking at his son, Sage of Six Paths felt sad but also helpless.
He has not had a father since he was a child and does not know how his father taught his son.
So faced with the fallen Indra, he didn't know how to educate him.
Likewise, looking at Sasuke in front of him, he didn't know how to get him back on track.
Knowing that he couldn't convince Sasuke, Sage of Six Paths simply stopped trying to persuade him.
At this time Sasuke asked: "What is this place and why am I here? I clearly remember being defeated by Mizuki and then seemed to faint."
Six Paths replied: "This is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and you are already dead!"
"Am I dead?" Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief.
The next moment, he shouted loudly: "No, I don't believe it!"
"I haven't completed my revenge, how can I die? One dozen seven haven't died yet, and Konoha hasn't been destroyed yet, how can I die!"
"No, you lied to me, you must be lying to me!"
Looking at the hysterical Sasuke, Sage of Six Paths remained silent and allowed him to roar and vent.
After a while, Sasuke stopped.
He stood there blankly, his eyes empty, as if he had been drained of energy.
He recalled everything he had experienced in his mind.
Born in a wonderful family, with the love of parents and older brother, especially older brother, I depend on him for everything.
But suddenly one day, all the clan members died, including his parents, but the murderer was his dearest brother.
Life has collapsed from now on!
After that, he practiced hard, worked hard to become stronger, and buried his hatred deep in his heart.
He did not fall, hatred sustained him.
After graduating from ninja school, he met Mizuki and saw hope for revenge.
When Mizuki planned to defect, he did not hesitate to follow him because he knew that if he stayed in Konoha, he might not be able to obtain the power of revenge in his lifetime. Only by following Mizuki could he have hope.
Sure enough, Mizuki did not disappoint him, teaching him various techniques. His strength became stronger day by day, and the light of revenge became clearer and clearer.
…
"Why is this happening? Am I really wrong?"
"But without the Rinnegan, how could I defeat the First Hokage and then destroy Konoha Village?"
At this time, Sage of Six Paths said: "Actually, you don't need to kill Kakashi at all."
Sasuke roared: "If I don't kill him, how can I get his Rinnegan? Will he give me such a powerful eye for nothing?"
Sage of Six Paths shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about Kakashi, but Naruto."
"I believe that if you ask, Naruto will definitely give the Rinnegan to you, because he has always loved you."
Sasuke's body trembled and his pupils trembled.
Naruto's shadow appeared in his mind. Maybe, if he asked, Naruto would really agree.
That annoying fool, although he often doesn't deal with himself, likes to quarrel with himself, likes to argue with himself...
But sometimes, it's pretty good.
"Haha!" He smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of talking about it now, I'm already dead."
Sage of Six Paths said: "No, it's not too late!"
"I can bring you back to life."
Sasuke immediately perked up and asked, "Are you really willing to resurrect me?"
Six Paths nodded and said: "Your mission has not been completed yet, so you cannot die now."
Sasuke was overjoyed: "Then please resurrect me quickly!"
Six Paths shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there are some things that need to be made clear in advance, and you must promise me one thing, otherwise I will not resurrect you."
Sasuke said: "Say it!"
"After I resurrect you, your soul will return to your original body, but your body will be occupied by Orochimaru. In other words, if you are resurrected, Orochimaru will die."
"But I ask you to continue to stay in Konoha as Orochimaru and serve as the Fifth Hokage. You must not be exposed or do anything detrimental to Konoha."
"Can you agree to this request?"
Sasuke was shocked.
What kind of weird request is this, asking me to be the Fifth Hokage, not to be exposed, and not to be detrimental to Konoha?
Don't you know that I can't wait to destroy Konoha immediately?
"No way!" Sasuke flatly refused.
Sage of Six Paths was not annoyed and said, "If you don't want to, I won't resurrect you."
Sasuke: "You..."
This is simply an overbearing clause, so disgusting.
In order to be resurrected, Sasuke had to compromise and said: "You are cruel, why don't you agree to it?"
He said he agreed, but what he was thinking in his heart was, when I am resurrected, I will regret it. What can you do to me?
Sage of Six Paths saw through Sasuke's thoughts.
"Don't keep your word. If you don't do what I ask, I can resurrect you, and I can also resurrect Orochimaru."
Sasuke felt a chill in his heart and put his thoughts away.
"a man of his words!"
Six Paths nodded and said: "In that case, let's get started!"
After saying this, Sage of Six Paths stretched out a finger towards Sasuke, and a beam of light shot into Sasuke's body.
Sasuke immediately felt that his body was rising, and in an instant he reached a height of more than ten meters, turning into a giant.
"I will temporarily lend you some power to make your mental power stronger. Then you can take back your body yourself!"
After saying this, Sage of Six Paths reached out his palm and pushed it gently.
The light and shadow changed, and when Sasuke looked around again, he saw a White Snake Sage looking up at him with horrified eyes.
"Sasuke?"
