"When weak, when the will is clouded, when walking down an evil path, the Ten-Tails' negative emotions and Mother's will will slowly corrupt the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki..."
"Once the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is corrupted, influenced by near-invincible military power, they will become extremely arrogant and conceited, unable to listen to any advice, and unstoppable except by force."
"I was actually influenced."
"Back when my brother and I stopped Mother, both of us were heavily injured, with many internal injuries."
"It was fine when I was young, but later, the accumulation of internal injuries erupted, and I could no longer suppress the influence of the Ten-Tails' negative emotions and Mother's will."
"I knew that if it continued, sooner or later I would lose control of the Ten-Tails, and Mother would revive. So I chose to split the Ten-Tails and create Kurama and the others."
"A Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is different from other Jinchūriki. Because of the existence of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, they can survive, but immortality is a pipe dream."
"Therefore, before I died, I sealed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path inside the moon, and Mother was sealed in the center of the moon."
"About thirty years ago, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was summoned to Earth. It should have been done by the previous reincarnate of Indra's chakra."
Sasuke, Naruto, and the Nine-Tails immediately thought of Madara Uchiha and the Masked Man, because they both possessed the Rinnegan.
Among them, Madara Uchiha was the most likely, because the Masked Man's voice sounded young.
If the Masked Man had summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path more than thirty years ago, his voice shouldn't be so young, unless he deliberately disguised it.
"A world-ending disaster allows for no carelessness. What do you think?" The Sage of Six Paths asked with a serious expression.
"The Old Man makes a lot of sense," the Nine-Tails immediately agreed.
Although it seemed Kageyama Kogetsu had no intention of taking him, the threat was too great. His life and death hung by a thread.
Naruto said with a heavy expression, "Although we can't be careless, I don't want to fight Father."
Sasuke said calmly, "Maybe you have a point, but you have to understand that you are you, and Father is Father."
"Father is not injured, let alone having internal injuries. What does the Ten-Tails' negative emotions and your mother's will matter?"
"Just based on a slight possibility in the future, you want us to deal with Father?"
"Impossible!"
"Naruto, your will is not firm. If you dare to betray Father, I will kill you myself!"
Sasuke's face was sinister, his crimson Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan spinning slowly, a thick killing intent looming around him, ready to strike.
"Sasuke, stop talking nonsense. As long as Father doesn't have thoughts of destroying the world, I won't make a move," Naruto glared angrily, his eyes wide.
"That's for the best." Sasuke restrained his killing intent, his expression returning to calm.
The Sage of Six Paths sighed inwardly and smiled. "Calm down. Let's change the subject."
"Whose philosophy do you think is more correct, Indra's or Asura's?"
Naruto said without hesitation, "I think Asura's philosophy is slightly more correct."
The reason for "slightly" was that Naruto was more or less influenced by Kageyama Kogetsu.
Sasuke also said without hesitation, "I lean more towards Indra's philosophy, but I think Father's philosophy is even better."
"You are indeed the reincarnations of Indra and Asura. Even after a thousand years of reincarnation, your philosophies still diverge," the Sage of Six Paths sighed with emotion.
Sasuke frowned. "I am me, Sasuke Uchiha, not anyone's reincarnation."
The Sage of Six Paths smiled slightly. "Whether you admit it or not, that is the fact, because only you can directly withstand the power of the Six Paths."
"Speaking of which, because of Indra and Asura, we are half father and son."
Sasuke said coldly, "Don't misunderstand. I only have two fathers. One has passed away, and the other is Father."
The Nine-Tails looked unhappy. "Hey, show some respect to the Old Man."
"Shut up, fox. If not for Naruto and Aunt Kushina, I would beat you up right now." Sasuke stared coldly at the Nine-Tails, his tone quite rude.
In Sasuke's view, he had indeed given face; otherwise, after the word "beast" came out, a beating would have followed.
"You..." The Nine-Tails was furious, baring its teeth.
Naruto quickly spoke up to soothe the Nine-Tails and Sasuke, and the Sage of Six Paths also comforted the Nine-Tails, finally dissipating the anger.
"Back to the point. What is your father's philosophy?"
"Or rather, what kind of person is your father?" the Sage of Six Paths asked with interest.
Asking this, the Sage of Six Paths sent out wisps of chakra in the outside world...
These wisps of chakra randomly entered the bodies of ninja from various villages, including reanimated bodies, mainly Konoha ninja, probing their memories of Kageyama Kogetsu.
Under a powerhouse of the Sage of Six Paths' level, ninja on the battlefield, strong or weak, couldn't avoid having their memories probed silently.
It was worth mentioning that one wisp of chakra went to Mount Myoboku, wanting to learn about Kageyama Kogetsu from the Great Toad Sage.
"Sage of Six Paths, what do you want to do?" Kageyama Kogetsu sensed the Sage of Six Paths' actions, frowned, and asked with an unfriendly expression.
"Don't misunderstand. I have no malicious intent. I just want to get some information from them," the invisible Sage of Six Paths said with a gentle smile.
"What information?"
"Information about you. This concerns how I decide to treat you."
Kageyama Kogetsu laughed. "I see. Suit yourself. Whatever you decide, I'll take it."
"But my patience is limited. The reason I haven't made a move is out of respect for the fact that you once saved the world."
"Don't make me wait too long..."
Sensing the unparalleled confidence in Kageyama Kogetsu's words, the Sage of Six Paths' expression didn't change, but his heart was heavy...
To be honest, even if he granted the Yin and Yang Six Paths powers to Naruto and Sasuke, the probability of defeating Kageyama Kogetsu, who had become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, was very low.
If he hadn't become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, the probability of victory would be quite high.
However, no matter how low the probability, if Kageyama Kogetsu's true nature was similar to his mother's, he would fight to seal him, even at the cost of sacrificing himself!
Killing him was unlikely. Once Kageyama Kogetsu became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, his essence would approach his mother's, and he would likely have an immortal body!
While the two were talking, the three people and one fox in the seal space weren't idle either.
Sasuke explained Kageyama Kogetsu's philosophy of peace in detail, his cool face full of admiration.
The Sage of Six Paths thought for a long time and said, "Your father's philosophy of peace is indeed bold, but... it's not a bad new idea."
Sasuke said seriously, "Sage of Six Paths, since the ninja world has been in chaos for a thousand years after your death, and the two ancestors haven't been able to solve it after a thousand years of reincarnation..."
"Then why not try Father's philosophy of peace?"
"I think it's very feasible. Even if it fails, it won't be worse than the current situation."
"If it succeeds, won't everyone be happy?"
"Peace descends, and the two ancestors don't have to keep fighting. They can be liberated."
"Fighting for a thousand years, aren't they tired?"
"I don't think the two ancestors are happy. It's more like a curse, restless even in death, always worrying about the ninja world."
Naruto nodded repeatedly, smiling brightly. "I think Sasuke makes a lot of sense."
"Grandpa Sage of Six Paths, let's give it a try."
Hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths fell into deep thought, an internal struggle raging in his heart...
