Chapter 143: Rebuilding the Nation.
Just as the demon was subdued ten thousand times.
The eight tailed beasts have gathered.
"Sigh, I'm so wronged again! Why do I have to suffer like this when everything is fine? It's all to make the teacher make up his mind."
The Eight-Tailed Gyūki sighed and spoke first.
The Nine Lamas beside him spoke in a particularly somber tone: "Sometimes, unless you force the teacher with blood and tears, the teacher will never be able to let go of their concerns and will never make up their mind."
"I originally thought that it would be most appropriate for me to make this sacrifice, but I never expected that Youlv would take the initiative and beat me to it."
Shukaku wiped away her tears and said, "However, the effect has indeed been achieved. The teacher has made up his mind to move forward with what we have been hoping for, and the efforts of the troupe have not been in vain."
The four-tailed beast, Mago, comforted its companions in a loud voice: "Don't be so sad and depressed, everyone. Matatabi is only temporarily silent, not completely gone. We tailed beasts have the ability to revive, and it won't be long before it returns to our side."
Mitsuo Isobu hesitated quietly, "We've planned this all this way, forcing the teacher to make a decision through sacrifice. What if the teacher finds out about our ulterior motives afterward and gets angry? Aren't we being too reckless?"
Upon hearing this, the valley fell silent for a moment, and the other tailed beasts also hesitated, after all, their teacher's strength and thoughts were never something they could easily fathom.
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy
Shukaku suddenly looked at his companions and said in a deep voice, "Actually, our teacher may have discovered our plan, but he just didn't say anything."
------
In the distant mountains and forests, the chieftains of the three tribes—Pig, Deer, and Butterfly—were fleeing with all their might. Only now did they dare to stagger and stop, leaning against tree trunks and panting heavily, as if all their strength had been drained by the scene just now.
"Oh my god!!!"
The three of them gazed at the world that had been completely cleared away by the light, and felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Such terrifying power!
"That was terrifying... Luckily, Nara reminded us to leave quickly, otherwise... we'd probably be just like those people now, not even a trace left."
The mountain chieftain's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed onto the tree trunk, barely managing to keep from kneeling by gripping the bark tightly with both hands.
Chief Qiudao slumped to the ground, his chest heaving violently, cold sweat streaming down his face. "I was just regretting not taking my people with me to escape, but now it seems... the fact that the three of us survived that light is the greatest blessing from heaven."
The two men chatted back and forth, their faces filled with lingering fear and relief. When they turned to look at the Nara clan chief beside them, their tone still carried a hint of gratitude and relief:
"That's right! Nara truly lives up to his reputation as our brains. If it weren't for your quick thinking, we would have definitely been defeated today!"
But as soon as they finished speaking, their relief froze on their faces.
The Nara clan chief leaned against a tree trunk, his face ashen and deathly pale, his once calm eyes now filled with despair!
The Nara clan chief slowly slid down the tree trunk and sat on the ground, his hands hanging limply at his sides, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over... we can't escape..."
"What's wrong?! Nara!"
Upon hearing this, the mountain clan chief and the Akimichi clan chief felt their hearts sink, and the relief on their faces was instantly replaced by panic.
They looked at the Nara clan chief with confusion.
The Nara clan chief was filled with despair at this moment; he knew:
If the Sage of Six Paths were wielding a sword, unleashing his full power like a peerless master, cutting down the allied forces one by one, then perhaps we could still find a glimmer of hope by relying on the terrain and our cunning.
But what was that scene just now?
With just a flash of light, the entire battlefield was wiped out in an instant. Tens of thousands of ninjas were completely annihilated before they even had a chance to resist!
This is not "killing" at all, this is "erasure"!
It is an absolute crushing power that surpasses all ninjutsu, all chakra, and all strength!
This strength has exceeded all their understanding of "the strong." It's like mortals looking up at gods, or ants facing the sky. They don't even have the right to resist, let alone escape.
They had only temporarily escaped the first divine punishment, but they could not escape the pursuit of this great immortal. Their so-called "luck" was nothing but self-deception.
The heartbroken Nara clan chief could even foresee the inevitable end.
This great immortal will not let any fish escape; their escape was futile from the very beginning.
In fact, the Sage of Six Paths could find them in the blink of an eye!
The moment he finished muttering those words, the scene before him suddenly changed.
In the blink of an eye
Wanci's figure appeared in front of the three of them without any warning!
Without any prelude or warning, it was as if he had always been standing there.
Before the clan chiefs of Yamanaka and Akimichi could even react, their pupils had not yet fully contracted, and the fear on their faces was still etched on their brows!
Wanci had already raised his hand and grasped the Six Paths Sword at his waist.
"Buzz—!"
The moment the Six Paths Sword was drawn, there was no piercing sword sound, only a cold sword light slicing through the air.
With a flick of his wrist, Wanci unleashed a sword blade carrying an overwhelming pressure, slashing towards the two of them.
The clan chiefs of the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans didn't even have a chance to touch the Six Paths Sword before they were instantly enveloped by the terrifying aftershocks emanating from the blade.
"puff--!"
Two muffled explosions of blood mist rang out almost simultaneously, like two suddenly blooming crimson fireworks that vanished in an instant amidst the mountains and forests.
Their bulky bodies, agile figures, along with their chakra and consciousness, were all utterly crushed by this single sword strike.
There were no screams, no struggles.
The two who had just narrowly escaped death were, in an instant, completely wiped out, just like tens of thousands of allied troops, turning into a cloud of blood mist and dissipating into the air.
Then, the two souls were slowly drawn into the Ten Fist Sword floating behind Wanci.
The Nara clan chief collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as his two dearest friends vanished before his eyes, his despair turning into utter stillness.
She could only let that cold gaze fall upon her, awaiting her own fate.
"So the Sage of Six Paths really did exist! But... but..."
"Immortal! I'm innocent! Please spare my life! I was forced here! I'm innocent!"
The Nara clan chief knew in his heart that there was no hope, but the instinct for survival still made him pray.
"innocent?"
"Did my students who died deserve to die? In this era, if you've lived this long, can you honestly say you haven't taken a few innocent lives on your hands?"
Manji coldly stared at the Nara clan chief.
I dare say that these ninjas, who were able to survive in such a chaotic world, were not exactly benevolent people!
Do they dare to be open and honest with themselves?
After ten thousand times, I dare to be completely honest with myself!
He dares to say, even after ten thousand times, that he never kills innocent people indiscriminately!
Looking at the big picture, Wanci never killed an innocent person, and he rarely even killed anyone.
The Nara clan chief died in the next instant!
Their souls were also absorbed into the Totsuka Sword.
Manji flew through the sky, wielding the Six Paths Sword, with countless Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him, radiating terrifying pressure.
"This world needs some change!"
"Otherwise, wait for your master. When the sun and moon shine anew, the mountains and rivers are restored, and the ninja world is rebuilt, I will resurrect you!"
Closing your eyes ten thousand times, and then opening them again, is a testament to your resolve!
The campaign to subdue demons in the Six Paths and the crackdown on demons in the Six Paths have begun!
