Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Mei and the others all held their breath.
The looks in their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Everyone wanted to know what decision the Sage of Six Paths would make after learning what his mother had done.
Mirai Uchiha calmly took a sip of water before continuing her story.
"When Hagoromo learned of Kaguya otsutsuki's actions, he told Hamura otsutsuki."
"Unlike Kaguya otsutsuki, these two brothers were born and raised in the ninja world, so they had human emotions."
"Therefore, the two brothers immediately confronted Kaguya otsutsuki, pleading with her to abandon her plan to create White Zetsu and release everyone from [Infinite Tsukuyomi]."
"However, Kaguya otsutsuki decisively rejected their request and warned them never to interfere with her [Infinite Tsukuyomi] plan again."
"Hagoromo and Hamura returned empty-handed and could only stay low for the time being."
"It was during this time that a frog sought out Hagoromo."
"A frog?" Tsunade and Minato Namikaze, who had been listening quietly since the meeting began, couldn't help but exclaim aloud at this point.
As close friends and disciples of Jiraiya, they were especially sensitive to the word "frog."
Minato couldn't help asking, "Mirai, is the frog you referred to related to Mount Myoboku?"
Mirai Uchiha nodded lightly and said, "The frog that approached Hagoromo back then was exactly the Great Toad Sage currently residing at Mount Myoboku."
What?!
Tsunade and Minato's mouths dropped open in shock.
The ancient era when the Sage of Six Paths lived was thousands of years ago.
Did the Great Toad Sage already exist back then?
"It wasn't just the Great Toad Sage," Mirai Uchiha added with a slight hum. "The Slug Sage and the White Snake Sage also existed during that era."
"Later on, for unknown reasons, they chose to retreat into seclusion within hidden realms."
"They possess knowledge about many extraordinary things."
Minato and Tsunade exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat incredulous.
They had never heard anything like this from their own summoning beasts...
"I don't know much about them either," Mirai Uchiha said indifferently. "Perhaps I should find some time later to go ask them properly."
"Now let's continue with our previous topic."
Mirai Uchiha said lightly.
Dragon Veins, witches, evil gods, Shinigami, Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest...
He'd get around to figuring them all out someday.
The ninja world was his cornerstone, and he would never allow anything beyond his control to exist.
After thinking for a while, Mirai Uchiha resumed speaking. "Under the guidance of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, Hagoromo successfully mastered Sage Arts and received a talisman from him—a talisman capable of bringing the dead back to life."
Hearing such a secret, everyone present wore expressions of disbelief.
They never expected that the Sage of Six Paths had learned his Sage Arts from the toads of Mount Myoboku—and that he even possessed talismans able to resurrect the dead…
Looking back on it now, besides the shinobi clans, there must be some unknown forces hidden in the ninja world.
No wonder even someone as strong as Mirai Uchiha still felt cautious.
These ancient forces that had existed since time immemorial were absolutely not to be underestimated.
And all along, they had been fighting fiercely over petty squabbles—how narrow-minded and short-sighted they truly were!
Giving Onoki and the others some time to digest the information, Mirai continued, "Determined to resist his mother, the Sage of Six Paths mastered the Sage Arts."
"However, when the Sage returned home, Hamura Otsutsuki had already been controlled."
"The Sage of Six Paths could only kill his own younger brother."
"In extreme pain and a desperate quest for power, the Sage of Six Paths awakened the Rinnegan."
Mirai pointed at his own eyes. "The same eyes I now possess."
Onoki and the others nodded simultaneously.
The Rinnegan, also known as the Sage's Eye, was unique to the Sage of Six Paths. This much they already knew.
"With the talisman, the Sage of Six Paths revived his fallen younger brother, and together the two brothers resolved to overthrow Kaguya Otsutsuki's rule."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki, completely disappointed in her two children, decided to reclaim the chakra she had bestowed upon them."
"The battle between the three lasted for months, tearing apart the entire ninja world under the force of their immense powers."
"Finally, the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki joined forces and performed [Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei], sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki away within a massive rock formation."
"This great stone sphere floated above the ninja world…"
"…which is what we now call the Moon."
[Hiss!!]
Pakura, Mei Terumi, Mabui, Onoki, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and others all took sharp intakes of breath.
What Mirai had just said was simply too bizarre.
The moon they saw every night—it was actually a giant rock created to imprison Kaguya Otsutsuki?!
If it weren't because they trusted that Mirai wouldn't make up a story like this, they probably wouldn't have believed such an outrageous tale.
A battle lasting months and powerful enough to tear the entire ninja world apart…
Just how much chakra and Spiritual Power would that have required?!
During The Third Great Ninja World War, even The Third Raikage, whose strength reached the pinnacle of the ninja world, lasted only three days before dying from exhaustion.
Furthermore, the intensity of those battles was no more than that of regular ninja matches, entirely lacking the power to alter the landscape...
Compared to Kaguya otsutsuki, Hagoromo, and Hamura otsutsuki, weren't these so-called Kage no better than ants?
Calling such power "divine" would not seem at all inappropriate.
They truly belonged to an entirely different level than ordinary humans.
Upon realizing this, everyone gazed at Mirai Uchiha with deep reverence.
Now that Mirai Uchiha had also attained Six Paths-level power, did that mean he could fight nonstop for months on end?
Mabui couldn't help but speak first, clearing her throat nervously. "Haha... No wonder mass attacks never worked against you. Even if every ninja in the ninja world joined forces, they still might not stand a chance against you alone, right?"
Onoki nodded in agreement. "I'm truly glad we never tried using the method used to defeat The Third Raikage in a battle against you. Otherwise, Iwagakure's ninja would have likely been wiped out completely."
Meanwhile, Mei gazed intently at Mirai Uchiha.
Damn his charm! Could someone pause this meeting for just a moment? She suddenly found herself longing to personally experience the might of a Six Paths warrior!
Pakura, unable to hold back her curiosity, pressed further: "Mirai, if that's the case, is Kaguya otsutsuki still sealed away on the moon?"
Everyone jolted upright at Pakura's words, as though a thousand ants were crawling beneath their skin.
They desperately wanted to know what happened next and quickly started asking together: "Mirai, after Kaguya otsutsuki was sealed, what happened next?"
Seeing how attentively everyone was listening, Mirai Uchiha smirked slightly. "That's roughly how things went. Now that you understand the full story, let me tell you about the threats the ninja world will soon face..."
