Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

But thinking about it, it seems that I can only listen to what this old man has to say now. After all, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything here.

"So who are you, old... grandpa? Also, what is this place?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look around again. Suddenly, he realized that this place seemed a bit familiar.

He realized that he seemed to have been here before. The familiar stagnant water under his feet, and the dimness of everything, wasn't this the place where the Nine-Tails was sealed back then?!

It's just that the Nine-Tails is no longer in this place, and because the seal has been broken, the Nine-Tails' cage has completely disappeared, which makes him feel a little strange.

"This is your consciousness space."

The old man still had a serious face as he looked at Naruto earnestly and said.

"As for my name, I don't really know what I should say.

Because I'm not sure if the name that is currently circulating is the same as my real name. After all, the era is too long ago.

My real name is Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."

"..."

What kind of name is that?

Naruto looked at him silently, but couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't seem to have heard of this name at all!

"That kind of reaction, I expected it. After all, you are as simple as Ashura was back then."

The old man—the Sage of the Six Paths—was still calm, as if he had expected Naruto's reaction. He continued, saying.

"I think your current situation can be analyzed based on your own memories and the environment you were in before.

Your body is fine. This is your mental world. Because your battle with your mother caused violent fluctuations in your spirit.

This awakened Ashura's chakra, and also awakened the power I left within Ashura's chakra."

I really don't excel at dealing with this kind of old man...

Listening to the Sage of the Six Paths' endless chatter, Naruto's face almost wrinkled into a ball. He felt that this old man was really a chatterbox.

"So I wanted to meet you. You don't need to rush, because this place…"

However, the Sage of the Six Paths obviously didn't understand Naruto's thoughts. He continued to speak, but this time Naruto couldn't hold back.

"Okay, stop! Grandpa, it's not that I don't respect you, but those Ōtsutsuki are still destroying the world, and my time is very precious!"

Naruto said with some dissatisfaction. He really wanted to say to this old man, 'Can you speak human language?', but in the end, he still acted relatively politely.

"Even if my power is still very weak and unable to change the course of the battle, it is still my home, and I want to contribute!"

"..."

The Sage of the Six Paths didn't make a sound after being interrupted, still looking at Naruto with a blank expression before calmly saying.

"I'm sorry, perhaps because the era is too long ago, there may be some differences between my vocabulary and culture and yours now.

Although I would also like to learn the new language patterns and environment, it seems that I don't have that time, so..."

"Get to the point, get to the point!"

Naruto really couldn't hold back anymore. He was now wondering if he should punch himself to wake himself up.

Of course, he also knew that doing so would be useless. He had tried it before when he accidentally ran into the Nine-Tails.

However...

Hitting himself is useless, but would hitting this old man in front of him be useful?

Naruto had a rebellious thought. Although he respected the elderly, the world outside was being destroyed, so this could be considered an expedient measure, right?

"..."

The Sage of the Six Paths looked at Naruto's appearance and seemed to have guessed what this kid was thinking, which stunned him for a moment.

Am I really that unwelcome?

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll try to communicate with you in concise language."

The Sage of the Six Paths shook his head helplessly and continued, saying.

"You don't need to worry too much about the war outside. The time flow in the mental space is different from the outside world. We have enough time.

This time, I'm meeting you because there are many things I want to tell you, and also because I noticed that you seem to be unfamiliar with my name.

In my era, everyone called me the Sage of the Six Paths, although I personally think it's a bit much..."

"Ah, the Sage of the Six Paths?"

A look of surprise appeared on Naruto's face as he asked in disbelief.

"Is that the legendary progenitor of all ninjas, the sage who sealed the Rabbit Goddess and brought peace to the world?"

"Oh, you know about it, and it seems you know quite a bit."

The Sage of the Six Paths glanced at Naruto, seeming somewhat surprised by this situation.

"Yes, I've seen that part of history."

Naruto nodded, but his face turned strange again.

"Although I don't remember it very clearly, the stone tablet and the tree root both mentioned your story."

"Stone tablet... tree root?"

The Sage of the Six Paths looked blank. The stone tablet was undoubtedly something he left for Indra.

But the tree root...

What the heck is that?

"Yes, the stone tablet and the tree root. Many of us have seen them."

Naruto didn't notice the Sage of the Six Paths' bewildered expression as he nodded and continued, saying.

"The stone tablet was tampered with to execute the Eye of the Moon Plan, and you had already noticed everything, leaving the truth on Shisui-aniki...

That is, on the tree root of the Senju clan. Shisui-aniki found it on the moon, and many of us know everything."

"...?"

The Sage of the Six Paths' eyes were dazed. I did that?

Why don't I remember doing that myself?

"Six Paths Grandpa, I was very unhappy at first."

Naruto sighed, and his voice became low.

"Because you clearly discovered all of this but didn't stop it, allowing the Uchiha and Senju to fight for many years, even affecting the ninja world.

I don't know how many people died because of this, I don't know how many innocent people died because of this. I always thought you were a cold-blooded and ruthless sage.

Although I have never said this, many people who know the truth have not spoken up, but everyone thinks this way..."

"..."

I'm cold-blooded and ruthless?

I allowed the war to happen?

Although the Sage of the Six Paths' face remained unchanged, his heart became even more strange.

Could it be that someone, learning from the tampering of the stone tablet, also forged a so-called Senju tree root?

And, they even included me in it?

Or, did my other chakra clones take action?

Having reached his level of strength, he was truly an immortal existence. He had broken away from the constraints of the physical body and reached another level.

His will was now no longer within the scope of the ninja world. All that he left behind was a chakra, which made it difficult for him to understand the situation.

"But now, there seems to be an answer. I seem to understand your actions, Grandpa."

Naruto sighed, then forced a smile and said.

"Having seen those so-called Ōtsutsuki, I realized how powerful and terrifying they really are.

If we hadn't been tempered by that thousand-year war, making our will firm and giving us more skilled techniques, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the courage to face them at all.

Although there are too few people like Shisui-aniki, at least there are enough to face even two of them. No wonder he never spoke ill of you, Grandpa."

"..."

One person, facing two Ōtsutsuki?

Shisui?

Sounds like a descendant of Ashura?

What exactly is going on?

"Can you talk about this Shisui's matter?"

The Sage of the Six Paths pondered for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Don't worry, there are no time constraints here. I told you, I just want to know more now.

And you can rest assured, I will have a way to let you unleash even stronger strength..."

"Uchiha Shisui... So that's how it is?"

In Sasuke's mental world, he was also asked similar questions. Shisui had a huge impact on him, on Naruto, and even on the entire ninja world.

It was perfectly normal for the Sage of the Six Paths to be curious about this, and now he felt that he wasn't just curious, but felt incredible.

Through the narration, he learned that Uchiha Shisui had done so many things, and all of this sounded so incredible.

He couldn't say much about the others, but this kid was truly preventing the war between the descendants of Indra and Ashura.

And he even ran to the moon to stop the descendants of Hamura from having some bad ideas about the ninja world.

And his strength was gradually reaching an incredible level, and most importantly, he was still so young.

"Most importantly, he found the so-called 'me' left behind for Ashura's tree root? Revealed the conspiracy of the entire ninja world?

Knew my original difficulties? And pointed out the direction for the future of the ninja world?"

Thinking of this, his face became even stranger. He really didn't know that he had done such a thing.

He even suspected that this was done by that Uchiha Shisui!

However, shaking his head, he felt that it shouldn't be possible. After all, there were so many ninja world secrets inside that ordinary people shouldn't be able to know.

"And even if he did it, it seems that the current me can't do anything, and he is also for the ninja world..."

The current Six Paths is just a chakra consciousness body. Even if he stores the ultimate Yin Release and Yang Release, that is to deal with his mother.

Moreover, Shisui is for the ninja world, which is also the same as his idea. He doesn't think this will be an enemy or anything.

"What an incredible child."

After figuring out these messy things, the Sage of the Six Paths suddenly smiled.

"With him here, and you here, I think the ninja world can be stable a lot in the future. After all, he really knows what kind of enemy to face in the future."

"Us?"

Hearing this, Sasuke couldn't help but shake his head. He clenched his fists slightly and said helplessly.

"You really overestimate us. I want to deal with those guys like Shisui-sama, but... but..."

"Actually, you underestimate yourself too much."

Hearing this, the Sage of the Six Paths suddenly showed a smile.

"And to be honest, your current attitude is much better than before. Is it that child named Shisui who taught you?"

"Huh?"

Sasuke frowned. He didn't know what this old man meant. It sounded like they had known each other a long time ago?

"I know you have doubts in your heart, but I think there are some things you should have noticed."

The Sage of the Six Paths waved his hand, and a sage's shakujo appeared in his hand. The shakujo lightly tapped the ground.

In an instant, ripples appeared in the water below. At Sasuke's feet, an unfamiliar figure was reflected in it!

"See, there is still a person hidden in your inner world, and this person is my son, Indra."
