Chapter 534 - 533: The Ninja World is in Peril, I Hope You Two Can Help
Ryun looked at the Sage of Six Paths. He nodded. This was a true overlord of his generation. This was a true politician.
As for the title Sage of Six Paths, it was merely later generations deifying a powerful figure. When you got down to it, he was just a politician.
Indra showed no reaction upon hearing this. He looked at his father with complex emotions in his eyes. Asura, however, had his convictions changed at this moment. He stood by his elder brother’s side, firmly supporting him.
"Indra, Asura, I have failed as a father." Hagoromo Otsutsuki bowed towards the two of them.
The two glanced at him, then withdrew their chakra, retreating once more into the bodies of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Since they had already been reincarnated, they should not excessively occupy the reincarnates’ bodies.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki also intended to disperse his projection, but Ryun spoke up, "Wait."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki halted his movement, looking at Ryun with confusion in his eyes.
Ryun said, "Will you leave my daughter’s body yourself, or shall I use a secret technique to extract your soul and scatter it to ashes?"
Ryun had originally thought Hagoromo Otsutsuki valued his daughter and wanted to teach her something, which is why he had tacitly allowed him to stay within his daughter’s body.
But after learning about the Sage of Six Paths’ character from Indra and Asura just now, he decided he must drive him out of his daughter’s body now.
Who knows if he might one day lead his daughter astray, teach her some political machinations, or incite his daughter to oppose him.
If that really happened, who would he cry to?
The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, pondered for a long while. Finally, with no other choice, he separated the soul power from within Ju Uchiha’s body. It transformed into a ball of light and flew away from the place.
Ryun narrowed his eyes slightly, then fell silent. He had everyone else leave, keeping only Itachi Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju behind.
Everyone complied. Ryun sat on the sofa, looking at Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. "You two, can you mobilize the chakra of Indra and Asura?"
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were stunned. They looked at each other, then shook their heads. Ryun sighed. "Indra, Asura, I know you can hear me. I hope that when the people of the ninja world face a crisis, you can step forward and protect them."
The next moment, the chakra projections of Indra and Asura appeared. "Why should we help you?"
Ryun smiled. "Because nearly eighty percent of the bloodlines in this ninja world are related to you. The people of the ninja world are your descendants."
"Indra holds the ambition to unify the world in his heart. Asura holds kindness and love in his heart. I believe if the ninja world truly encounters a great calamity, you will not remain indifferent," Ryun stated.
The two phantoms were silent. "Although our chakra has reincarnated, we cannot exert our full power. The help we can provide is limited."
"You just need to raise Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha’s life level to the same tier as the Otsutsuki. As for the rest, I believe these two working together can solve most problems," Ryun said with a smile.
When Indra and Asura appeared earlier, he had keenly realized their physical bodies had surpassed the peak of humanity, rivaling the Otsutsuki.
Indra and Asura were also the pure-blooded sons of the Otsutsuki Kaguya. With just a little effort, they would possess Otsutsuki-level strength.
The two projections heard Ryun’s words, looked at each other, and then nodded.
Ryun smiled. "The current ninja world has been unified by Konoha. Due to the existence of the alien Otsutsuki clan, I have not been able to fully integrate everyone yet."
"After the Otsutsuki clan members are dealt with, I promise the future ninja world will be connected north and south, fused into one, recreating the glory of the original Shinobi Sect," Ryun declared.
The two men’s expressions turned serious, then they nodded. "Fine. Since that’s the case, we will certainly exert our full strength when the time comes, even if it burns up all our chakra and soul."
Ryun nodded. Indra and Asura glanced at each other and sank back into the bodies of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju immediately felt their bodies were different. A mysterious energy was improving their bodies, allowing their potential, which had already reached its limit, to rise once more.
Ryun could sense all of this. He smiled and nodded, then said, "You two, stay in Konoha for a while to adapt to the gifts from Indra and Asura."
"After adapting, return to the places you respectively command. Be ready for my orders at any time. I sense war is not far off," Ryun said, looking at the two of them, then gazing up at the sky.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju clasped their hands and bowed, then left the Hokage’s villa.
After watching them leave, Ryun looked at Itachi Uchiha. "You performed well, kid. Although I lent you the Chixiao Sword, if you had truly slacked in your training, you wouldn’t have been able to defeat Hashirama Senju at fifty percent power."
Itachi Uchiha’s lips curved upwards, about to feel smug. But the next moment, Ryun spoke. "However. Itachi Uchiha, this is still not enough. Soon, a great war will descend. Your current strength is utterly insufficient to protect Rou Rou."
"Therefore, during this period, I plan to personally train you. This will be a life like hell. Can you accept it?"
"Of course, if you can’t accept it, that’s fine. After all, you have already surpassed most of Konoha’s shinobi. However, I will have to reconsider the matter between you and Ju Uchiha," Ryun said, his eyes fixed intently on him.
Itachi Uchiha did not hesitate. "Please, father-in-law, do not hesitate to instruct me. Even if I have to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a vat of boiling oil, if I, Itachi Uchiha, so much as frown, I am not a man."
Ryun looked at him, the corner of his mouth twitching upwards. However, to prevent Itachi from detecting his attitude and becoming smug, he forcibly suppressed his emotions. Then he spoke, "During this time, you will follow me. Spar with me. I will train you to the Half-Step Six Paths level as quickly as possible."
"As for whether you can take that final step and ascend to the Six Paths level, that depends on your own strength." Ryun’s eyes narrowed slightly. If in the future Itachi Uchiha truly remained one step away from Six Paths.
Then he would have to consider reclaiming the Five-Tails from Han of Iwagakure. Having the Five-Tails within him was simply a waste for Han.
Giving it to Itachi Uchiha could also help him advance further to become a Six Paths-level powerhouse.
Itachi Uchiha nodded. "Father-in-law, rest assured. I will do my utmost."
Ryun could sense Itachi Uchiha’s determination from his words. He nodded. "Tomorrow, Ju’s training will be handed over to Shisui Uchiha. You come to me. I will take you for training."
After saying this, he waved his hand. Itachi Uchiha knelt on one knee, then withdrew, heading towards the door.
Ju Uchiha was currently in the yard petting a cat. Hearing the sound at the door, she turned her head and saw Itachi Uchiha wearing a short-sleeved shirt, looking at her.
Ju Uchiha stepped forward to greet him. "Brother Itachi, what did you and my father talk about?" Her eyes held only Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi Uchiha saw Ju Uchiha, then crouched down, stroking Ju Uchiha’s head. "Rou Rou, for a while, I need to train with your father. You continue going to school, okay?"
Ju Uchiha frowned, about to say no. But the next moment, Ryun leaned against the doorframe, looking at Ju Uchiha, expressionless.
Ju Uchiha hesitated for a long time, finally nodding. "Okay. Brother Itachi, go with peace of mind. Rou Rou will be good during this time. She will be obedient. When your training is over, you must come to the school to see Rou Rou."
Itachi Uchiha smiled and nodded. "Absolutely." The two linked pinkies, making a promise.
They talked in the yard for a long time. Ryun disdained listening to these words. He just wanted to see how his daughter would choose.
However, his daughter Ju Uchiha did not disappoint him. She did not, for the sake of momentary joy or happiness, prevent the person she liked from focusing on self-improvement. Instead, she chose to let him go and improve himself.
And so, they chatted until the sun set. Ryun scrolled through his phone, watching a video.
In the video.
Orochimaru sat in the laboratory, arranging a row of test tubes containing a green liquid. Then he spoke with a smile.
"Family and friends in the live stream, are you still troubled and suffering from the passage of time and the aging of your appearance?"
"Are you still anxious about your looks?"
"Are you still at a loss about what gifts to buy for your girlfriend or female elders during the holidays?"
"Starting today, Orochimaru introduces to you a beauty serum."
Saying this, Orochimaru pointed at the green solution in front of him, speaking with a smile. "It is this solution. These solutions are the essence Orochimaru painstakingly extracted from herbal plants."
"Just one drop every day, mixed in warm water for washing your face, guarantees your face will be fair, tender, and smooth."
The comment section below went wild.
"Me, me, me. Lord Orochimaru, I want one hundred bottles. One hundred bottles."
"Who doesn’t know that in the entire Konoha live streaming industry, Lord Orochimaru is the most learned, and the products he makes are the most genuinely effective. So, Lord Orochimaru, I want two hundred bottles."
"You all get lost. Lord Orochimaru, can you give me a chance. I want to be with you."
The comment section was boiling with heated arguments.
Ryun couldn’t help but marvel that this guy was a talent. He had not taught Orochimaru this spiel. Could it be because of that book?
*Why People Don’t Like Listening to You Talk*
He remembered just giving him that book casually. Did Orochimaru even read that book?
Orochimaru’s team watched the comment content, giving Orochimaru thumbs up. Orochimaru’s lips curved upwards. "Everyone, don’t rush. There’s enough for all."
"Here are the product safety inspections and all the relevant documents from the authorities. They all prove this product is genuinely effective. If it has no effect, refunds are welcome at any time." Orochimaru brought the live stream atmosphere to a peak.
Seeing the atmosphere was about right, Orochimaru spoke with a smile. "Okay, family members, to ensure every viewer friend in the live stream can buy some, the purchase is limited to 2 bottles per person."
"There are a full ten thousand bottles in the live stream. Everyone get ready. Brothers, let’s go." Orochimaru roared.
