Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Hagoromo's Last Resort
"The three great wise regions are gathered." Natsuo quickly dodged the attacks while joking, "Do you have anything else, Hagoromo?"
"Of course!" Hagoromo inhaled deeply, and his chakra suddenly flared.
It was a chakra of even greater scale than the Three Great Sages' summoning!
He made a series of extremely complex seals. However, as his gestures progressed, an extremely cold aura began to emanate from him, and his massive chakra suddenly expanded.
Halo after halo of pale blue light appeared, dense and numerous as if they were endless. But in the next moment, those blue halos quickly solidified into human shapes.
Countless figures appeared before Natsuo. Among them, there were some figures that were unmistakably familiar to him.
Uchiha Madara!
Senju Hashirama!
Senju Tobirama!
Sarutobi Hiruzen!
At the same time, there is a large group of people Natsuo has heard of but never met, such as Kato Dan, Hatake Sakumo, Third Raikage, Second Mizukage, First Kazekage...
And this group of people barely occupied a small part of the numerous figures.
"This group of people is..." Natsuo squinted his eyes and sighed softly. "The most powerful shinobi who have died over the years in the shinobi world!"
"That's right, this is the accumulated strength of the shinobi world over the years!" Hagoromo finally stopped moving, showing a proud smile.
This was his real ace up his sleeve!
"It's really a lot of people!" Natsuo said with emotion.
The shinobi summoned by Hagoromo stood still, with dull expressions, forming a huge square formation, bringing a sense of austerity.
And the weakest among them were Jonin level.
No wonder Hagoromo considered them his card up his sleeve!
"There are also many Kage level and even Super Kage level shinobi!"
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama are both Super Kage level shinobi. They are approximately the strongest in the history of the shinobi world, aside from Otsutsuki. But there have also been some Super Kage level shinobi throughout history.
The clan emblems of those Super Kage level shinobi are Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyuga or another distinguished clan.
"Could there be reincarnations of Indra and Asura among them?" Natsuo's lips curled up.
Indra and Asura's chakra had been entangling the entire shinobi world in their confrontation, and perhaps they would continue to do so even after Naruto and Sasuke.
"Hey, if you think about it..." Natsuo stroked his chin. "By continuing to allow Indra and Asura's chakra to reincarnate, isn't it a stable way to create a large number of high-level shinobi?"
Although it could not be stated with certainty that the reincarnation of both of them could ascend to the Super Kage level, but reaching the Kage level is a very certain thing.
Hagoromo was slightly silent upon hearing this.
"Thinking about it further, the continuous wars in the Shinobi World were not led by you secretly, right?" Natsuo raised his brows. "You are really insidious!"
Although cruel wars caused many losses, they also elevated many shinobi, improving their skills. Apparently, Hagoromo, feeling the guidance of destiny, knows the need to continue creating powerful warriors, but he only thinks that it is due to the possible invasion of the Otsutsuki clan. That's why he gradually established the current structure of the shinobi world.
Hagoromo pursed his lips slightly and said: "I have not encouraged wars in the shinobi world."
"Then why did you deliberately allow the reincarnations of Indra and Asura to clash for generations?" Natsuo raised his eyebrows.
Hagoromo was silent.
"No matter what, Natsuo, you can't win." Hagoromo said in a low voice. "With the accumulation of so many years, no one is my opponent!"
"Then let's try it"!" Natsuo laughed, and instead of retreating, he went straight to meet the large group of shinobi.
Hagoromo had a dignified expression and waved his hand.
Countless shinobi furiously rushed towards Natsuo.
Natsuo transformed another Truth-Seeking Ball into another sword. He breathed golden fire from his mouth, before both swords in his hands became covered in golden flames.
In an instant, a man dressed as a monk shouted angrily, and behind him the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon appeared, launching a fist of golden chakra.
This was the chief monk of a certain generation of the Fire Temple.
Beside him, a swordsman dressed as a samurai, grasping the handle of his sword, drew it in one fell swoop.
This was a general from the Land of Iron.
Next to them, was a shinobi with red hair, with several golden chains coming out of his back...
This was the leader of the Uzumaki clan of a certain generation.
However, Natsuo's counterattack was extremely easy.
With a sword slash, he cut down the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon along with the monk inside.
Then, with a simple thrust he broke the samurai's katana and pierced him directly.
Immediately afterwards, he released the pressure of his Byakugan on the leader of the Uzumaki clan, leaving him paralyzed, before activating the Amaterasu, burning him to ashes...
On the other hand, Kage-level shinobi couldn't have any impact on Natsuo.
Natsuo captured one of the shinobi summoned by Hagoromo, and then activated the Human Path.
"It feels similar to Impure World Reincarnation. It also suppresses the will of the soul itself and controls the opponent's general actions. It also uses the instinct of the soul to make up for everything else."
"But the strength of reincarnation is much greater than that of Impure World Reincarnation. Not only is there a gap in strength, but they can also use Senjutsu chakra..."
All souls summoned by Hagoromo carry senjutsu chakra.
But just like the body of the Impure World Reincarnation, these souls will also be restricted by the power of the Truth-Seeking Ball, as well as the Human Path of the Rinnegan. Additionally, the Sun Breathing adapted to natural energy causes even more damage with the sword made by the Truth-Seeking Ball.
Although the leader of the Uzumaki Clan, burned by Amaterasu, recovered easily, the samurai, the monk as well as all the souls attacked by Natsuo's swords no longer came back to life...
"They make excellent consumables, which is why you try to entice Naruto and Sasuke to be your helpers." Natsuo commented lightly.
Hagoromo was silent, souls were really consumable.
Although the strength is not bad, in front of the Six Paths level, the Kage level is just a little bit bigger ant.
Hagoromo' hearts ache!
But...
"Even if it is a big consumption, it is worth it!" Hagoromo said with determination. "As long as it has an effect, it is not a waste."
Even if it only consumed a little bit of Natsuo's chakra, it made sense.
Besides...
In the next moment, someone familiar with an Uchiha Clan symbol suddenly jumped out and several shadows detached themselves from his body, rushing towards Natsuo.
"Uchiha Madara? Are you here to join in the fun?" Natsuo chuckled, as he killed all the shadows of the Limbo: Border Jail that Uchiha Madara had just separated.
"I just failed, but still, I have to face you again... it's really very unpleasant!" The corner of Madara's mouth twitched, but her body moved involuntarily.
As he attacked, his eyes were full of resentment, obviously he couldn't help himself.
However, unlike other souls who attacked unconsciously, he showed a certain autonomy.
Although Hagoromo took control to a certain extent of the Pure Land, there are many rules he cannot change.
Because the stronger a shinobi is, his spiritual energy becomes much more powerful, and the Pure Land is a mechanism of the world where it erodes that energy until the soul can reincarnate again.
As the first soul at the Six Paths level to reach the Pure Land, Hagoromo did not lose consciousness and was therefore able to take control of the place. And so that both Indra and Asura continue reincarnated, he made them stay in Purgatory, denying their entry to the Pure Land, this together with his obsession and when certain conditions are met they allow their reincarnation.
On the other hand, because Madara managed to reach the Level of the Six Paths for a short period of time, many of the rules of the Pure Land do not affect him, which allowed him to have a certain degree of freedom after being summoned by Hagoromo.
"Natsuo, who are you fighting with now? Who is that person?" Madara couldn't help asking. "I think it looks a bit like..."
"Sage of Six Paths?" Natsuo chuckled and said: "It doesn't look like it, it's the Sage of the Six Paths... he's using a technique similar to Impure World Reincarnation to fight me."
"It really is the Sage of the Six Paths... So the Sage of the Six Paths also resorts to such despicable techniques as the damn Tobirama." Madara grumbled. "No wonder the shinobi world hasn't known peace for so many years. There's no hope when the top is as despicable as Tobirama!"
Well, that was a little excessive. Although Hagoromo has allowed certain things, his true intention is to protect the shinobi world.
Although he confused the guidance of destiny regarding the war between universes with the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan, at least he did not deliberately subvert the peace.
But Natsuo didn't say anything more about it. After all, Madara was evidently upset at being controlled and had a right to be angry at the Sage of the Six Paths.
