193You said so, right, Six Paths Sage?AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 193 Don't you agree, Sage of Six Paths?
"What's wrong with you?"
Lady Tsunade, who had just walked over, looked at Naruto with a puzzled expression.
Why did he suddenly stop in his tracks while walking, with such an inexplicable look?
That expression was as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Nothing, Tsunade, why are you here...?"
"Oh!"
Tsunade slapped her forehead: "Right, the matter you asked Orochimaru and me to research has made progress. Orochimaru has already sent Karinto find you."
"What matter?"
Tsunade: "..."
"Oh, I remember now."
Seeing the slightly annoyed Tsunade, Narutoslapped his forehead: "It's about Indra and Ashura, isn't it? You've found a lead so quickly?"
"Yes, after all this time, we've finally found a way."
"What way?"
"Pills!"
Tsunade smiled confidently.
Indeed, her and Orochimaru's research into clearing these things all eventually pointed to one thing: pills.
Working together, she and Orochimaru finally achieved a breakthrough.
As long as the pill is developed, the foreign Chakrawithin Naruto's body will be expelled.
Even if it's deeply rooted.
"But there's a prerequisite: this foreign Chakramust not be you."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
He understood!
It seemed they also thought he was the reincarnation of that whatever-it-was.
But unfortunately, they were wrong.
So this matter had great potential.
"What do you need? I can provide it."
"We need medicinal ingredients similar to the Netherworld Grass, and also some common medicinal ingredients."
Tsunade smiled.
She was waiting for that very sentence.
She wouldn't be polite with Naruto, and she would even secretly add some extra ingredients.
Anyway, Naruto had plenty of these things, so it wasn't a big problem.
Naruto looked at Tsunade with a half-smile, not caring about her little actions.
Besides, even if Tsunade didn't do that, if she asked, Naruto would still give it.
After all, she was a talented individual.
Now he no longer researched medicinal powders but had switched to researching pills.
This was an inspiration he got from Ōtsutsuki.
And honestly, the medicinal properties of these pills were quite good.
Combined with Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade had now made significant breakthroughs in the medical field.
She had even started collaborating with Orochimaru to research Slug's Sage Mode, intending to further improve her medical skills.
At the same time, it also extended her lifespan.
The effects were currently very good.
Orochimaru had also finally found a good teammate and partner.
He had never imagined before that someone researching Medical Ninjutsu could bring him so many benefits.
"No problem."
Naruto smiled and nodded: "You can pick them up from my place when you have time. I'll have Nine-Tailed prepare them."
"Good!"
Tsunade stepped aside to let Naruto pass, watched him leave, shook her head, and then walked into the Hokage Office.
"Lady Tsunade, why are you here?"
"Here, take this."
Tsunade handed over a bottle of pills. Nara Shikaku looked at Tsunade in confusion, not understanding why she would suddenly give him pills.
"These are hair-growth pills. The ingredients inside, formulated by Orochimaru and me, can stimulate hair growth by consuming energy."
"I think this will be very useful for you. This is an accidental product of Orochimaru's and my research. I hope you'll like it."
"Hiss!"
"Like it, of course I like it!"
Nara Shikaku trembled, quickly took it, and looked at Tsunade gratefully, complaining: "You don't know how my wife mocked me when I went home."
Tsunade: "..."
Thanks for the invitation, but there's no need to exaggerate so much.
Hmm?
Tsunade suddenly felt a bad premonition, turned her head, and met Uchiha Izumi's sparkling eyes.
"Ahem, I have something else to do, goodbye."
Tsunade left in a hurry.
She slipped away, slipped away!
She was careless!
She didn't even notice Uchiha Izumi hiding in the pile of documents.
Those crazy people, they often came to find her.
Especially Uchiha Fugaku, who ran to the research institute every other day.
Did he really think she didn't know that Uchiha Madara bit her grandfather once, wanting to be a loving family?
Dream on!
...
"What was wrong with you just now?"
On the way back, Nine-Tailed jumped out, perched on Naruto's shoulder, and asked with some confusion.
It had noticed Naruto's abnormality just now, as if he had discovered something.
"Can you hear the rhythm of life?"
What the heck?
Nine-Tailed was dumbfounded.
What did he mean? It didn't understand.
"Can you explain what you mean in more detail?"
Nine-Tailed's willingness to ask questions made Naruto smile. After a moment of thought, he began to explain: "Life is a very wondrous thing."
Naruto said as he walked: "For example, this stone here, if you sense it carefully, you can perceive the miracle of its life."
Nine-Tailed: "..."
Stone?
Life?
Are you serious?
Nine-Tailed was confused; it really couldn't understand what Naruto was talking about right now.
"When my Sage Mode was developed, I could vaguely sense the rhythm of life. Until I touched the Dragon Vein last time, the entire Ninja Worldseemed to be under my control."
"The power of all creation, the true Six Paths Power, has been completely opened to me."
"Master the world, master the Chakra rules!"
Naruto raised his hand, clenched it, then opened it again, and a Truth-Seeking Orb appeared in his palm.
With a thought,
The Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him also began to gradually appear.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, Nine-Tailed was instantly startled: "How is this possible?"
Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto as if he were a monster.
"Don't look at me like that. Actually, I'm quite surprised myself. It seems this world finally acknowledges me."
"Or perhaps, it sensed something and thus opened itself to me."
Naruto squatted down, pressing his palm to the ground, able to sense other patterns.
"Don't you agree, Six Paths Sage!"
"Alas!"
Under Nine-Tailed's horrified gaze, the Six Paths Sage slowly appeared beside Naruto.
Miraculously, no one else could see him except Naruto and Nine-Tailed.
"Six Paths Sage? Why are you here?"
"I am everywhere!"
The Six Paths Sage chuckled: "This is a wisp of my Chakra after my death, observing this world all along."
"Uzumaki Naruto, I must say I ultimately underestimated you."
"You flatter me. You finally decided to come out again."
Nine-Tailed was numb.
Had this world gone so crazy?
Even a dead Chakra could gather to form the Six Paths Sage.
So the question was, what was the Six Paths Sage's true strength?
Waiting online,
He really wanted to know.
"Since you've also reached this point, we are of the same kind, so there's no need for me to hide, nor can I."
The Six Paths Sage looked steadily at Naruto.
He truly hadn't expected Naruto to reach this stage so easily.
This step, in terms of strength improvement, was neither particularly significant nor insignificant.
But it was indeed a very mysterious experience.
Among so many Ōtsutsuki, only the Six Paths Sage existed in the Ninja World in this form.
The others either became Kāma or completely died, which was enough to prove the Six Paths Sage's excellence.
"What did you sense?"
Naruto said slowly: "I sensed the return of those people."
"I also sensed..."
