Ninja Ice House

Chapter 525 Direction

The question of whether Itachi and Sasuke were intelligent or foolish is difficult to answer. Generally speaking, the Uchiha clan members are generally quite intelligent, and there are no particularly clueless idiots.

However, these guys, who are clearly very smart, always use their brains in the wrong places and do stupid things that are more outrageous than the last.

To be able to turn one's own clan into extinction when one has a clear advantage—that's a skill that deserves the title of "extremely clever."

Itachi Uchiha's current choice is also somewhat puzzling.

Logically, his primary goal should be to save his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, but in reality, his actions have been quite different.

After a moment's thought, Gu Shanbu Shui understood why this was the case.

In the original timeline, the entire Uchiha clan had basically been wiped out, except for Tobi, who claimed to be Uchiha Madara and whose background was unknown, and his two brothers.

With his own bloodline disease flaring up, beyond cure, nearly blind, and basically waiting to die, the most important thing was to use every means possible to get Sasuke Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then set a trap to kill "Madara Uchiha".

However, few people know for sure how many members of the Uchiha clan are left. Itachi's own bloodline disease seems to have improved significantly due to certain changes, which gives him more options and prevents him from putting all his last hopes on his younger brother, Sasuke.

Following the perspective of the young head of the family, Kaguya Otsutsuki's feelings are also very complicated.

Theoretically speaking, these people are her descendants from countless generations ago, and they are related by blood. However, the vast difference in time makes it difficult for her to feel any real closeness to them.

Aside from Hagoromo and Hamura, who are indeed quite close, the others are probably Ashura and Indra, who are related by generation, and have some kind of instinctive bond.

The Uchiha brothers, Itachi and Sasuke, were still locked in a tug-of-war... no, to be precise, the Demon Sword Onikiri was battling it out with the Totsuka Blade. At this moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki surprisingly asked Furuya Fukumizu:

"Do you think Yu Yi regretted her choice later?"

"How to say?"

"I don't believe that with Hagoromo's talent, he wouldn't have noticed the divine elements and hidden dangers that were torn from Ashura and Indra by the Totsuka Blade. He clearly had the ability to resolve them, yet he let it go, and even took advantage of the situation, using them to set up a thousand-year-old mystery. Even with Black Zetsu stirring things up, if Senju and Uchiha hadn't inherited the Sage Body and Sage Eyes respectively, the Rinnegan wouldn't have been born. This old woman... might not have been able to break free of her seal even after the ninja world has perished..."

The unexpected occurrence of Gushanbu Shui was not within the scope of consideration; it was a variable outside the system.

"On the surface, it left behind a trump card to reseal the alien Ten-Tails monster that was wreaking havoc on the ninja world, but in reality, it also indirectly increased the possibility of your resurrection!"

This seems somewhat contradictory.

"My biggest conflict with Hagoromo lies in our utilization of the ninja world's humans... or rather, its resources."

"Yes, you are more ruthless, while the Sage of Six Paths values ​​the power of humanity more."

The former views humans as livestock, resources, or consumables, while the latter regards humans in the ninja world as a source of spirituality with infinite possibilities, or even as fertile soil for cultivating prospective gods and future immortals.

Efficiency and maximizing short-term value, possibilities and expectations of raising the ceiling.

The White Zetsu army was ultimately just a relatively conservative life-saving measure. The Sage of Six Paths had a much higher opinion of the ninja world's potential, believing that it could develop into a powerful civilization no less than the Otsutsuki clan.

In addition, personal emotions and preferences are also involved.

The Ninja World is the birthplace and hometown of Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, not Kaguya Otsutsuki's home. It was merely a resource mine and a temporary stopover.

Kaguya Otsutsuki said that the Sage of Six Paths had some regrets, which was actually a guess that the latter thought that the two sides did not need to fight so fiercely, almost destroying the ninja world into ruins, and that the mother who could have joined forces to help was completely sealed away.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki herself was not a native being of the ninja world, the Goddess of the Rabbit was a genuine ninja world deity. Descending from beyond the heavens, she was essentially one of the most important variables influencing the future development of the ninja world.

Over the past thousand years, whether it was a matter of scraping the bone to remove poison or severing one's own arm, even the Sage of Six Paths probably couldn't be sure.

Therefore, the ninja world and its native intelligent race were given a choice: whether to continue to reject and seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, or to accept and assimilate her into an inseparable part of the ninja world.

What do you think?

"This old woman... I'm actually indifferent, as long as I can deal with the extraterrestrial visitors and not be captured and punished by the people from the Otsutsuki ancestral land. In fact, if the three of us, mother and sons, hadn't fallen out back then, we could have basically defeated the guardians who came to investigate. A thousand years later... there's even less to worry about. If the ninja world hadn't been ravaged by our attacks, it would probably be no worse off than places like the three great summoning beast holy lands..."

In such a blessed land with such high concentrations of natural energy, humans born naturally would have an exceptional talent for ninjas and a much greater chance of achieving Sage Mode than they do now. It's impossible that there are only a handful of Sages as we know them today.

In that case... what's there to be afraid of regarding the Otsutsuki clan?

We could easily wage a direct interstellar war!

Tailed Beast Chakra Mode Legion, Ninja Tool Sky Cannon, Floating Island, Sky Mothership, Sage Commando Team, and Cataclysmic Summoning Beast Space Shuttle Fortress are all things you could try!

"Let's not dwell on the past. In the current situation, I think you need to adjust your mindset. Also, the Sage of Six Paths' attitude is worth paying attention to. Perhaps he had some other ideas when he was alive, but now he's 'dead.' A lingering obsession spanning a thousand years is not the same as when he was alive. He might be very persistent in sealing away or even completely eliminating you, this threat to the ninja world..."

A possibility is just a possibility; the safety of the ninja world cannot be entrusted to the "Goddess of the Rabbit's" understanding and great compassion.

Kosugi Bokusui thought so, and the Sage of Six Paths probably thought so too.

Regret and remorse are unlikely to become obstacles to making practical decisions.

"And you? The young head of the Kosugi family, a transmigrator who has crossed time and space, a newly ascended god who stole the power of the Divine Tree, where do you intend to lead the ninja world?"

Gu Shanbu Shui smiled casually and answered slowly:

"The future of the ninja world... what does it have to do with me? I only want to protect my loved ones. The fate of this world is decided by all living beings involved. I... am just an ordinary person who is detached from the three realms and outside the five elements, observing coldly and too lazy to care..."
